Maine Central Railroad.

| ihe annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Maine Central Railroad Company was
holden at Watcr.ille YESTERDAY.
| Ii was largely attend, d, and harmonious
throughout. The old board Of directors was
Reelected and authorized to issue consolida-
ted bonds, secured hy mortgage, sufficient to
rtIire all existing Indebtedness. The leases
made OF the Belfast and Moosehead Lake, the
Androscoggin, and the Leeds and Farming
ton railroads, were ratified. The directors
organized by the choice of Richard ID. Rice,
PRESIDENT; Anson p. Morrill,, Vice President;
and Josiah II. Drummond, Clerk. As th5
report of the Directors includes the opera
tons of the Portland & Kennebec, Somerset
kennebcc, Dexter G Newport, Belfast &
Moosehead Lake, Androscoggin G Leeds, and
Pennington Railroads, it is of more than or
binary interest. The directors say in their
report that the corporation, after many strug-
giles, now stands before the people an institu-
ton complete in all its framework, and rap
idly approaching completion in its details. 1t
now forms q most important section of the
great continental and inter continental high
way over which the nations pass. When the
union was effected in May last between the
Milne Central and the Portland & Kennebec,
the name of the former was retained as more
fully describing the character of the road.
The working organizations of both have been
fully merged, uniformity of gauge has been
attained, the rolling stock has been reduced
20 a common standard, and the general con-
dtion of the road has been much improved.
Since the last annual meeting lease has
been executed Of the Belfast & Mooshead
Lake Railroad, from Belfast to Durham, for
a term of fifty years, at 1886, 900 per year. In
June lease was made of the Androscoggin
road for 800 years. This also includes an as
signment of the unexpired term of the lease
of the Leeds & Pennington road. By this
the company assumed liabiliti which consti-
tute yearly rental of 4,544, and paid
1888 33 in cash, and agreed to transfer to the
Androscoggin company 1000 shares in the
capital stock Of the Maine Central. With
the Leeds & Pennington road, they have en-
tered into a contract assuming to pay interest
upon the bonds Of that company to the
amount of S37,9S0 per year, and also to pro-
vide for the redemption of these bonds in
1891. The yearly payments under this con-
tract are to be deducted from the rental to
be paid for the Androscoggin road.

WHAT IS VITALlTY?-Some philosophers
call it Animal Magnetism. some Nervous
Force, others Caloric, but by whatever name
1t may be called, the thing meant is the main
spring of existence; it is the principle we in.
hrrit, and which may be nouri.hed by proper
attention to the r, qurments of the body and
the avoidance of excuses; it is wasted or
destroyed by overtaXing the mind with study
or anxiety and Incorporate indulgcnces, in
deed it requires an expenditure of vitality for
every thought or action. When the body and
the brain are well balanced, the stomach is
capable of restoring the waste; but when the
brain is large in proportion, the stomach is
incapable Of supply ing it; in other words, the
expenditure is too large for the income Here
lies the cause of so much suffering from dis
eases ofthe Heart Liver, Stomach aud Lungs,
and Fellows Compound Syrup of IIypophos-
phtes is the only preparation known which
imparts this vitality directly, and consequent
ly the power to overcome disease.

A Simple Tariff and Simple Collection.

In another page of to-day's HERALD will be
found letter from one Of our most prominent
and respected business men on the question of
simple versus complicated tariff. The views
put forward in this communication have been
advocated in the HERALD; but they possess
so much weight and carry such simple force
with them that we are glad to give them
prominence. Our systems of tariff and tariff
collection are open to exactly the objections
urged by this gentleman. We have too many
articles on our duty list, giving rise to endless
complication in the transaction Of the business
of the Custom House, and of little or no
monetary profit to the country, since they
barely pay the cost ofcollection. We learn from
Washington that the committees of House and
Senate purpose narrowing the number of
dutiable articles by extending the free list,
and that several important reductions will be
made on existing rates. This is right, but it
is half-hearted and done much at haphazard,
since the articles off which most of the duty
will be taken are just those which do not
interfere with the business of certain monopo-
lists. Let them give us group of at most
fifty articles, and with a cheaper and more
simple mode of collection the revenue need
not suffer. Our certified invoices are a
humbug The espionage and seizures, if
not worse, mark the thorough contempt of
officials for the theory of the sanctity of
consuls certificate or the value Of an oath.
As human nature goes this is not to be won
dered at and the per contra side, that dis
honest importers or the agents here of foreign
manufacturers should seek weak humanity in
the person of a needy, poltic-tainted Custom
House officer, is more simple still. Let us
initiate England in this, who has isolated all
these Offices from the troubles of party-too
much so, perhaps, for party sometimes means
principle-and, what is more to the point, has
adopted q system of seizure which guards
both the government and the importer. If a
man invoices his goods below what they are
worth the government seizes them, pays him
ten per cent profit on his invoice, sells the
goods and lets the man caught in the act 60
about his business. There is no vulgarization
of oath-taking, no espionage after the goods
have once left the warehouse. 1t takes one
man where we employ three to do the govern
ment's work, and, with the aid of criminal
prosecutions for smuggling, guards the reve-
nue. ten times more effectually than our cum
bersome, laundering system. Will Secretary
Boutwell, or President Grant make a real re-
form in this business?
