Richard B. Osborne, ESQ, Chief
Engineer of the Western Maryland
Railroad has addressed a commuhis
cation to George NJ: Bokce, President
Of the Company, in which he shows
that at least half million of tons Of
coal per annum can be transported
from Williamsport to Baltimore, bg-
ginning with l.60O tons per day, SD
soon as the connection is made. He
fixes the maximum cost Of bringing q
ton Of coal from Cumberland to Will
Transport at one dollar, and the cost
of transit pment from the boats to cars
at six cents per ton. Allowing the
company one and three-quartet CENTS
per ton for carrying the coal to Bal
timore (eighty-cight miles,, it will
make the entire cost of transportation
from Cumberland to this city two dol
lars and sixty cents. To meet the
wants Of The trade the Company mist
provide three hundred and twenty
coal cars and engines to move them.
The gross annual receipts Of the Com
peny from this source are put at $77O,-
900. The transportation of coal can
be Indefinitely increased by enlatging
the facilities: The interruption Of the
trade by the closing Of navigation
during the severe weather can be pro-
vilel against ii a great measure by
filling the basin with loaded boats
before the canal is "lJscd.

October next that he named General
Mea shcr's son for cadetship Z. West
Point, but found Congrcssmua Roose-
welt was ahead of him; that he had
nothing whatever to do with Appoint-
ing Brigham loungs SON that he
accepted the Republican termination
for the Presidency originally because
he felt that he ,uight heal tnany disa
grcnaments III the party bv 50 doing,
and that he did net Ike the prospects
if Democrat were elected; and chat
while he could moi speak for Sherman
although they were warm friends, he
felt sure Sherman could never accept
a Democratic platform on which to
run for th9 Presidency, because Davis
and the fire. eaters would always pull
the Democracy back from any new
departure they might sttempt. Mr..
Boutwells $ financial policy was salts

changing it. Mr. Fish was not likely

THE IEoN BAR.-A bar Of iron,
worth S., worked into horse shoes, is
worth 5000 made into needles, it
is worth $685. made into penknife
blades, it is worth 1925; made into
balance springs of watches, it is worth

What drilling the poor bar must
undergo to reach all th@t. But, ham
mered and beaten and pounded and
rolled and polished, how was its value
increased 1t might well have
quivered and complained under the
hard knocks 1t got; bus were they not
all necessary to draw cut its fine qual-

And so, children, all the drilling
and training to which you are sub
iected in youth, and which often seems
SO hard to you, serve to bring out your
noblcr and finer qualities, and fit YOU
for more responsible posts and greater
usefulness in the world.
