THE probability that Broadway, New
York, will soon be tunneled for an un-
derground steam railway lends interest to
the annual statement of the London
Metropolitan Railway Company. Its
receipts in 1853, the year when it was
first established, were sos. $50. which
have steadily increased until they reached
for the year 1871 nearly $4,000, 600.
The dividends which have been realized
by stock holders have averaged about six
per cent.
JOHN Stuart Mill and Sismondi both
insist upon the necessity that every
married pair shall bring two children in
to the world, and no more, to make good
their places therein. This is we'll enough
in theory, but as the second child may
turn out to be twins, or even tri plets, the
thing is practically a fraud.

now for Kentucky aud other States to

judgment this system is manigestly un-
just where towns have gone to heavy ex-
penses building wharves. Hickman. for
instance, has appropriated fifty thousand
dollars to the improvement Of our wharf.
and as such improvements are greatly
to the benefit Of the steamboat interest
it IS but fair that steamboats, should help
to pay for same The bill which has
passed the Missouri Legislature provides
that it shall be unlawful for any town,
