AT the close of 1869 the country had
about 10000 miles OF railroad in operation,
about 5000 miles being constructed during
that year, and the whole being built at q
cost Of more than two billions Of dollars,
the most of 1t supplied by American cap
italists.
III 1861, the total railway mileage Of the
country amounted to but 6,878 miles, the
earnings Of which from passengers for that
year were S19274 ,954, and from freight
SEQ, 1872 il04, making n total Of $50 40G,359.
The entire tonnage Of al these roads was
about 5000 900 tons, or equal to 4i0pounds
per head of the. whole population of the
United States. The value of this tonnage
was set down dt S75O,OO0,OOO. al
In 1s60S the tonnage Of oil our railroads
exceeded 10O,0O0,00O tons, being more than
twenty times as great as in 1851 and the
earnings Of the roads from this source
amounted to about $500. 100000. or about
fifteen times Us much us Id 1851. The
value Of tho tonnage transported by rail-
ways in 1860 Is $1Os00 100000, which is

A Warming TO INSURANCE Mon

One Schmidt DHtchman, took the pre-
cnution to insure the life Of his wife for
$5OOOand his stable for 5000, believing the
former might die and the latter be burnt
and he could not get along without some
compensation for tho loss Both policies
had been taken from the same agent In
q few months after the stable had been In.
sured 1t was destroyed by fire. Schmidt
quietly notified the agent, and hintcd TO
him that he should expect tho money at
the earliest possible moment. The agent
at once sent a carpenter to ascer ain this
cost OF erecting new stable Of tho same
dimensions, having ascertaincd that the
property was insured for more than it was
worth. The builder reported that he could
replace the stable with new materials for
5000, but unfo tunatoly there was an ordi.
nance preventing the erection of frame
buildings - the old stable having been of
wood, He was asked to esimatethe cost
of q brick stable, and reported the amount
at $50. The agent then notified Schmidt
that he would build him new brick stable
in place of the old frame one but Schmidt
became indignant at the proposition, say
ing: 81 do not understand dis ins rance
business. Ipay you for 5000, and when
my shtable burn down you make me new
one not wan. new shtable Il want
$780,"
The agent reasoned with Schmidt but al1
to no purpose.
When the stable was nearly finished,
Schmidt wentto consult lawyer, thinking
that he still could ges the amount Of the
policy, besides having the new stable, The
lawyer, however, informed him that the
company had right to make good the loss
by building new stable, and expressed
surprise at the idea of bringing suit
against them.
But" says Schmidt "I insure for nine
hundrcd dollars, and dis fellar put up
dem shtabls for seven hun ired and fifty
| do not understand dis insurance busi-
ness
Finding that ho could not compel the
payment by law, he became disguised with
the insurance business altogether Calling
upon the agent, Schmidt said;
Mr.. Agent l want you to stop dom in
surance Oh mine frow. do not pay more
monish that way not understand dis in,
surance business"
Agent (surprised) -" Why, Mr. Schmidt,
you are doing very foolish thing. You
have already paid considerable on this
policy already and If your wife should die
you will get five thousand dollars"
"Yaw, dat ish what you tell me now"
said Schmid'. "Ven | pays you on my
shtable, you say get nine hundred dollars

not give me my monlsh. You say Oh,

aroundyou miserable? You can live among
flowers and singing birds, or in the mire
surrounded by fogs and frogs. The amount
OF happiness which yon eau produce is in.

face, a kind heart, and pleasant words On
the other hand, by sour looks, cross words,
and fretful disposition, you can mako
others unhappy almost beyond endurance.
Which will you do? Wear q pleasant
countenancc let joy and love beam in
your eye? There is no joy 80 great as
that which springs from kind net or a
pleasant deed; and II you do kind act
during the day whereby some fellow NOR.

Rulers who are OH the Make.


The avarcious disposition of Queen Vic
toria and the en- 'rmous amount of money
taken from the public treasury for the sup
port of her family and relations, arc among
the principal causes of her present unpop
ularity 1t costs the British people over
three millions of dollars year to support
the royal family and yet, ever since the
death of Prince Albert, the Queen hos
avoided the usual expenditures of her sta.
tion, much to the disgust Of the London
tradesmen and the English people gcner'
ally. She inherited over Ave millions of
dollars from Prince Albert, who possessed
an income of about thousand dollars q
year when she married him. She has also
received several bequests Of large sums OF
money from wealthy people ambitious to
connect their names in some way with
royalty. Ono Of these, n man named
Neeld, bequeathed to the Queen million
and half OF dollars, which she pocketed,
although it was shown that the kindred OF
this person were in very needy condition.
The belief is becoming prevalent that in
England the monarchy will be abolished
when Victoria dies; and II such should
prove to be the case there can be no doubt
that her grasping conduct ia money mat
tiers will have contributed largely to such
q result.
In this we may see the superiority oI
American institutions over those of Great
Britain; for If we should ever be 80 un'
fortunate as to have President who
should prove himself greedy for gain,
it would not be his high Office, but himself
that would be repudiated by the people at
the end of his term.

2,6OO tons. tive assume that the RAILROADS
constructed in 1869 are equal to 5000 miles
Of line, and in single year carry only one
halfof this average, then the gross amount
Of their tonnage for one year would be
G,e5O, 900 tons, the estimated value of which
would be about e907 100000. This value
would be nearly equal to one-half OF our
public debt. ,4a;za. -..s..,sa. ..-..-,
Tho construction Of railroads, leading to
the creation of o vast inland commerce,
Which otherwise would lave no EXISTENCE
has also led to an immense reduction in the
cost Transportation. The expense ofcarry-
ing Iudian corn and Wheat by common high!
wavs is about twenty centsper ton for each
mile At such cost Of transportation
these cereals would have no market value
beyond circles whose radii are 1876 and $50
miles respectively Neither Of them would
pay the expense Of being carried from
Buffalo to Albany. Yet they can be trans
ported upon railroads at the cost OF one
cent and quarter per ton for each mile
and this gives them marketable vnlue
within circuit whose radii are 1,G00 and
5000 miles respectively. The superficial
area Of circle with a radius Of 1875 miles
is as, ,087 square miles, while that of one
with radius of 1000 miles, is S,O42 ,4O6
square miles This vast difference between
the two methods Of transportation simply
measures the value of our modern agencies
for loconotion, and the results secured
thereby rs compared with those that were
formerly used. Railways have tapped the
whole country, and brought all parts Of 1t
within available reach of our great Atlantic
markets. The rapid growth of the West
ern States is largely due to this fact.
The lands through which these roads pass
have risen in value from 300 to 1000 per
cent. as the consequence of the facility thus
afforded. Lands that previously were un-
saleable at any price are now in demand at
from SO 10 $50 and $50 per acre. They are
occupied by an increasing farming popula.
tion. Villages and cities are springing up
on these lands in all directions, The tide
of population moves forward with the cx-
tension of the railway system, augment
ing industrial production and increasingly
contributing all the material elements of
national growth. Every road constructed
through region where it is actually need
ed adds at least five times its own cost to
the aggregate value Of the property of the
country. If VIC estimate the cost of the
5000 miles of road built in 1860 at $780,
600, 600, the increased value of property
arising from this construction will not be
less than $60OOO00OO. II is hence "pen.
ny wise and pound foolish" theory that
begrudgcs state and government aid to
railways where they are impcratively
needed and cannot be built without such
