The RAILWAY KING OF PERU.-A
writer i'll the Overland Monthly for Au-
gust gives an account of the railroad
operations Of Harry Meiggs in Peru.
For $4,000, 900, Meiggs contracted to
build the road from Mollendo. on tho
East coast of Arequipa. The road was
opened in January last. 1000 invited
guests. including the heads of the Go
vernment in Peru, joined in the celebra-
sion, which lasted two weeks. The ex-
penses, footing up. 5000, 600, were paid
wholly by Meiggs. The same bold ope-
rator then took u contract TO extend the
Arequipa road across tho Andes to Puno,
q distance of 'abont $50 miles. At tue
same time he entered into contrnot to
construct railroad from Lima across to
Cordilleras TO a place on the Eastern
slope called Oroya; The consideration
for Those two contFaGts was about $780,
600. 600. The line, from Arequipa to
Pnno across the Andes at An altitude Of
Il, G65 feet; the Oroyai road crosses the
mountains tan altitude OF Is, 800 feet.
It is intended to continue the last men
toned road to tho head waters of the
Amazon. Then Meiggs leased the roud
from Mollendo to Areqnipa, paying to
the Government three per ceIt. On the
capital, or about. $500. 600 q year. tbs
writer sums up by showing that Meiggs,
besides being the contractor Of fonr
sailroads, amounting to 800, 600, 700,
deals extensively in guano. owns a bank
at La Paz, and is engaged in other i'm
Dortant enterprises.

NATIONAL FAITH AND NATIONAL BONDS.
The New York Journal Of Commerce., in

force the doctrine that contract to pay

"HoBsoN's CHOICE. The meaning of
this saying is correctly understood as
"This or none" But We believe its origin
is not so widely known. Hobson kept
al inn in London called the Bull, stu
ated on Bishopgate street. He let out
horses to hire. and any person applying
for one WAS obliged to take tho animal
next to the stable door. or go away with
out one. Hobson was widely known for
benevolence, particularly for kindness to
animals. He always put the horse near
est to the door which had rested longest,
and thus managed to have their hours
Of rest according to their labor. He
would loso o customer before he would
break this rule. So the saying won't
abroad "Hobson's CHOICE" instead of
this or mono.
