Railroad Progress i'm the United
States in 1870.

The year 1869 closed amid q
perfect mania to build railroads,
and in the early part of 1870 over
Is, 900 miles of new road were pro-
jected. The rapidity with which
the continent Of Europe, espec-
tally Germany, absorbed Ameri-
can railway securities, stimulated
railroad building in this country.
and many roads were projected
which were far in advance Of the
wants Of the country through
which they we're to pass, but while
the number Of miles prjected was
Is, 600, only 6,574 miles were com
pleted and opened to o'business.
From the annual review in the
Railroad Journal We get the state
! ment that the number of miles Of
railroad opened in the United
States, at the end Of 1870, was
S54, 4,435, ct . cost for road and
equipments Of o., ,573, ,526, l09. The
increase during the year 1870
amounted to .574 miles, at a cost
for road and equipment Of 1884,
Ole, 300, or An increase of 11.41
per cent. in mileage, and 9.58 per
cent, in cost over the previous
years figures. Tais increase in
i1870 must be regarded as satisfac-
tory considering the drawbacks
consequent on the outbreak Of war
in Europe. The Railroad Journal
says: The largest increase has
been in the States Of Illinois, lows,
Missouri and Kansas, where rail-
road construction has been stimu-
lated to the utmost by town and
country subscriptions in the form
of bonds. In Alabama and Geor-
bgia the companies building rail-
rords have been encouraged by
State subsidies.' Tais process Of
stiE ulation and encouragement has
already borne some fruit in Ala
bama, where six millions of bonds,
one-third issued direct by the
State to . railroad, and two-thirds
indorsed by the State, are now in
default on their Janaury interest.
1t would be very desirable if rail
roads could, in all cases. be built
without the loan Of the bonds Of
States, counties or towns; and
those communities which are free
from obligations of this kind are
certainly to be congratulated.

Hooiland's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUN. and favored in
such . manner that the extreme bitterness of
the Bitters is overcome, forming q prepare.
tion highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price Of the Tonic is $1.50
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of q
pure quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at . cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay little more and have . good article
medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best ingredients, and they who ex-
pect to obtain cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated.
