Enough Of these bonds are withheld to pay Off all

The gross revenue OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
In 1859 was sl7, ,25Osl1, or nearly twentyeight per
cent OF the capital and debts OF the Company at
the end OF that year.
Since 1857 the dividends to the Stockholders have
averaged nearly eleven and one-half per cent. per
annum after paying interest its bonds and pass

struction account.
The security upon which the bonds are based is,
therefore, OF the most ample character, and places
them on par with the very best National securities

old fathers of Israel travelled good many
more miles than their Republican Successors;
and my heart fairly bled for the virtuous old
gentlemen, when / noted their long aud
weary search for this historic spot on the
banks Of the placid Potomac. There was
johnson Of Arkansas; when he was Senator
it was 1000 miles from Little Rock to Wash
inpton and back Now it is not so much by
a thousand miles at least; so says Rice, his
Republican successor. Think of poor Green,
of Missouri, tramping $500 miles to reach the
Capitol, while Drake merely cuts it across
lots and saves 1900 miles, the former coming
up at cost to the people of $1400, the
latter for less than $500. We used to pay
that eminent diplomatist, Gwin, of California,
nearly $4,000 for coming to Washington. We
get Cole, Republican, here for $500. 1t
cost us $500 every time that shining Demo-
crat, Jesse ID. Bright, turned his face to the
Capitol; but Morton comes down for 1853
year Graham n. Fitch, of Indiana, had a
very weary time of it, for he travelled $3.50
miles ard finally reached Washington, after
much suffering, at national expense OF
$114G. Pratt, though living in the same
town, discovered some wonderful route
twelve hundred miles shorter, and so we get
him here and back again, heavy as he is, for
S339'29.
The great and good man, David Turpie
when he had the misfortune to be a Senator
for few days, wandered about like a lost
sheep, until finally his eyes were gladdened
at the sight of the dome, after having travelled
2G36 miles Colfax, Packard, and others
make the distance from Northern Indiana to
the capital from eight to nine hundred miles
shorter than did Turpie.
Davis, the great and costly Jefferson, ira
yelled four thousand miles every time he
came up to the capital, and charged us $1,000
for the trip. Revels, blacker, but more
modest living one hundred and fifty miles
further away, cuts across the country thou
sand miles nearer, and charges $1,000 less fol
the job. These figures are from the official
records, and challenge contradiction.

THE MANN THE WHITE COAT.

At the recent Cemmemoration at Oxford,
the students, as usual, amused themselves be-
fore the exercises began with ''guying" such
of the auditors as attracted their attention by
any popularity of dress.
''White coat" A score or two of lusty voices
in the gallery leaped down in moment, so
to speak, on this obnoxious apparition among
the dark mass that covered the spacious floor.
"Wbite coat, White coat! Oh, you Take it
off, sir! Put it in your pocket, sir. Will Mr..
Wall he good enough to lead that man out?
Go out, sir. Go away. White coat, ya-ah! Will
you go. sir! Don't you see the ladies are look
ing at you sir? Do you think this is an agricul-
tural show, sir? Now's your chance, sir; they're
making way for you. White coat, ya-ah.
Your name and college, sir! Go out, sir!
You must go, you know. Green tie, green
tie! Who brought in that man with a green
tie? Take him out again! Straw hat, ya-ah,
alb! White coat! Cover up that green tie,
sir, do you hear? Put that straw hat out of
sight, sir, if you please! Can't you hear, sir?
When will you three meet again? Now, you

almost everybody has forgotten, that no
sooner had the Republican party come into
power than the mileage paid to members of
Congress was cut down one-half, that is, from
forty cents to twenty cents per mile. The
total reduction of mileage, however, as the
figures show, has been a great deal more
