COMPARATIVE INCREASE AND DECREASE.
The large increase of S4S4,S21.45 in re-
ceipts of freight last year over the year pre-
vious, is as gratifying to the Directors as
they trust It will be satisfactory to the
stockholders.
The falling off in passenger earnings, and
from rents and privileges is the experience
of all principal railroads in the South:
which leads to the conclusion that scarcity
of money was the principal cause Of this
falling off.

HOLDING OVER BY TENANT AND SUB
sEQUENT ACCEPTANCE OF RENT.-A lease
for year being about to expire, the agent
| of the landlord notified the lessees that the
| rent would be S. 900 per annum. The les
sees said the rent was too high, but did not
say what they would DO. They held over
and paid one months rent, then notifying
the agent that they were willing to pay at
that rate by the month until they could va
cate the premises. The agent did not ac-
cept or refuse the proposition, but said he
would see his principal. After holding
another month, the lessees vacated,
paying the rent for that month. The
court below charged that an acceptance of
the rent by the lessor was an acceptance of
the terms on which the rent was offered.
This charge the Supreme Court held as
error; further held that the holding over by
the tenant after notice was an acceptance
by the lessees Of the terms proposed; and
held, moreover, that, the subsequent &C
ceptance of the rent for the month with the
application to change the terms did not
make a new contract. Brinkley vs.. Wal
colt; opinion made April IS.

proposition being made by the lessees to
lease at s., 900 year, or at the rate of ST.
900 per annum, with right to quit at
pleasure, if it could be accepted by Silence,
would still be an incomplete contract until
it was ascertained which alternative was
accepted. In this state of facts an accap-
lance of rent at the rate of 5000 per wear
would determine the question. Idem.

Neither do thou loaf about, ask ques-

Thou shouldst never read the copy on the

Never inquire thou of the editor for the

When thou dost enter his office, take

HOW PEOPLE ARE PAID IN GERMANY.

There is no civilized country where work
is SO poorly paid as in Germany, or where
the earnings are IN such disproportion to
the expenses of living. The average earn
ing of workman is four thalers per week,
"a thaler is 622 cents of American gold,)
while it requires for a family of six men,
bers at least eight thalers The result,
says Berlin correspondent, is series of
efforts at cheap living, cheap enjoyment
and general self-denial. 1t is only mas
ter workman that commands one thaler
per day. know of ono who, to secure
this sum, which is ABSOLUTELY required for
his family, rises at three in the morning
and manages steam engine till nine clock
at night. Occasionally lie must work
through the whole night and all Sun
day without any additional wages. A
common day laborer, who has mastered no
trade, is glad to get employment at twenty
cents per day. Walters in hotels and res
taurants do not average this. Male ''help'
gets about 81 a month. A servant girl
earns SIS year. Higher work gets grad
ually better paid, yet only in comparison.
A teacher in the common schools gets
$3.50 to $500 year. In gymnasiums, or
what corresponds to our colleges, the pro-
fessors, who are required to be graduates
of one of the great universities, get on an
average, 5000. A professor in a university
gets rarely more than $500, besides the
fees of his hearers. OF course, the great
leading lights in science, and the professores
ordinaire generally, who belong to a spe-
cial class, get better paid. Tutors in the
wealthy families, a position which the
great Kant and nearly every German liter
ateur has filled, rarely get more than $500
a year. One, who is graduate of uni
versity, who speaks, besides his own lam
guage, French and Italian, and can read
not only Greek and Latin, but also Hebrew
and Russian, and who is, besides, profess
sional historian, and has made original
investigations, in the literature and times
of Hesiod, on which subject he is no mean
authority, receives 5000 year in addition
to his board.
The Government Counsellors, as they
are called-lawyers, physicians, school
directors, etc.-who have the management
of the matters pertaining to their several
departments in the different districts and
wards, and are endowed for life by the
Government, get an annuity Of $1,500
This however, is the commencement of
the aristocracy, or of a class which, from
hereditary possessions Or large perquisites,
are enabled to live in a style quite distinct
from the "people." From these upward
there is rapid increase in the salaries, or
endowments rather. This class, including
the army and police officers and the nobil-
ity, have all the wealth, while the laboring
classes have none.
