The Investment of Savings.
IThere are 4honsands. Of parsens throughot

There are thousands efz parsons throughout
the country, who have from one hundred 20
one or two thousand dollars saved up which
thew do not wish to use in active business, but
from which they desire toreallze as large ana
steady an income as possible. Savings banks
are excellent for temporary convenience; but
they necessarily pay low rates OF interest;
government bonds are safe beyond question,
but at present rates yield such small income
that most investors of moderate means prefer
something else.i $3.50 .
Under these circumstances frSt-cLGSs T'otI-
road bonds are becoming a taVorlte invest
ment among all classes. Many OF them are
practically as safe as government bonds, WnlIe
thew WELD an income much larger than Five
Twenties. Messrs. Jay. Cooke & Co., the
eminent and conservative bankers who made
such grand success of the government loan
during the war, and have recently succeeded
in selling two hundred millions OF the new
United States per cent. loan, are now offer
ing to the American public a railroad bond
that is probably the most attractive and de-
sirable now on the market. Speaking OF the
first mortgage 1870 gold bonds OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, the security re-
ferred to, New York financial paper OF the
highest standing says:r -..s
It is because these bonds are both first
class Railroad security, and Real Estate
mortgage, on lands worth twice the amount
secured, that we commend them to those of
our readers who desire an investment that is
safe beyond question, while readily negotia-
BILE and bearing a good rate of interest.
They are first lien, not only on great
Railroad and its traffic, but in addition are
first mortgage on valuable lands at the rate
of 50 acres to each 800 of indebtedness.
Add to this the fact, that the rate of interest
(! $40 per cent. gold, is more than per
cent. currency, and that the bonds are al
ways exchangeable at 10 per cent. premium
for the lands on which they are secured,
practically giving. the power of foreclosure
at willy, and it is easy to explain the high
favor'w which these securities are now
regarded. Central Pacific R. R. Bonds, Sc
cured only on the Railroad itself, are bearing
only sic per cent. gold interest, and are now
selling at 1O3. In the light Of this fact, it is
not unsafe to predict that Northern Pacifcs,
bearing SEVEN AND TfIREE-TENTHs per cent.
gold interest, secured both. on the Railroad
and on $4,000 acres of land to each mile of
track, and now selling at par and accrued
interest, will at an early day be worth ITO.
