.rARK TWAIN, As REPORTER.

The life of reporter was described by
'sMark," in one of his recent lectures at Chi
cago, in the following terms:
IrepOrted on that morning newspaper
three years, and it was pretty hard work.
But enjoyed its attraction. Reporting is
the best school in the world to get know-
edge of human beings, human nature, and
human ways. A nice gen:lemanly y reporter
Il make no references-is well treated by
everybody. Just think of the wide range
of his mountaineering, his experience Of
life and society! No other occupation
brings a man into such familiar sOciable re-
lations with all grades of people. The last
thing at tnight-midnight---he goes brOws-
ing around after items among police and
iail-birds, in the lookup, questioning the
prisoners, and making pleasant and lasting
friendships with some Of the worst people
in the world. [Laughter.l And the very
next evening he gets himself up, re-
gardless Of expense, put on all the good
Clothes his friends have got [laughterl, goes
and takes dinner with the Governor or the
Chief of the District, the
United States Senator, and some. more Of
the upper crust Of society. He is on good
terms with all of them, and IS present at
every public gathering and has easy access
to every variety of people. Why, l break
tasted almost every morning with the Gov
ernor, dined with the principal clergyman,
and slept in the station-house. Laughter
A reporter has to lie little, OF course, or
they would discharge him. That is the
only drawback to the profession. That is
why / left it. [Laughter.l am different
from Washington; have a higher and
grander standard of principle. Washing
could not lie; can lie, but 1 won't. PRO

PARIS, Jan. 19.--It is rumored that
Thiers threatens to resign if the Assembly
rejects the new tariff on raw material.
LATER.-In the National Assembly to-
day the discussion was resumed upon the
proposition to impose tax on raw materi-
ais, the Assembly vote was SO against 307.
Adopted. A resolution was offered by
Deputy Feray, providing that the govern
ment shall only resort to the taxation of
raw materials when other taxes fail to pro-
duce sufficient revenue to meet the expens-
es of the nation.
There are rumors this evening Of minis
terial changes in consequence of the vote
Of the Assembly. Ponyer Quertier, it is
reported, will retire from the Ministry of
Finance and will be succeeded by Casimer
Perier, the present minister of the interior.
Premature.
The report of the cession of the tobacco
monopoly to private parties to secure the
immediate payment of the war indemnity
is contradicted.
The report that the French government
is negotiating with foreign bankers to an
ticipate the payment of the war indemnity
is pronounced false.
Curtin Conveniently Absent.

Curtin left st. Petersburg for Nice to meet
Cen. Sherman.

Minister Washburn J. Bancroft Davis

Genevasrbitrators, have taken offices in Rue

Francois, who was arrested by the Ger

made by the students of the institution, has
been condemned by a German court-mar-

circumstance causes much uneasiness.

Of Deserres, who was Gambetta's Private

In letter to the New York Observer Dr.
Prime supplies some curious information in
regard to meanneSs to ministers. Among
well authenticated cases are the following:
A preachers wife was invited to visit a
week among the people, and the price of
her board was deducted from his salary
A missionary, with family and S400 year,
cultivated a little garden. The secretary
one day asked him what the vegetables
were worth. Supposing the question one
of mere curiosity, he assented to the esti-
mate of S18. The amount was deducted
from his salary. At donation party pa
per of pepper was estimated at two cents
and deducted from the salary. So, on a like
occasion, were ten cents, the value of two
fans. A stranger went to an Episcopal Church
in MARYLAND, and liked the sermon so well
that he left five dollars with the vestryman
for the rector. Deducted from salary. DR..
Prime once preached for a clergyman who
had sickness and death in his house, and
declining the customary fee, told amember of
the consistory to give it TO the afflicted
brother. The afflicted brother never got
the money. a minister preached extra
sermons at a watering place hotel, and the
boarders made up a purse for him.
Amount deducted from salary.

A MORL.n RAILROADS.

In an article reviewing the railroads of
| the world, the New York EUeniag Post
says:
A careful computation shows that there
are now 124, 115 miles of railroads in the
world; at the close of 1869 there were u.s.
| 659 miles. OF the increase, 5,556 miles,
about one-half, or 2,746 miles, were in the
United States, while in the previous year
we had built 5000 miles of new road. At
the present moment the lines actually
built in the country greatly exceeded
$1,000 miles in length. This, it will
be seen, is about fOur-tifths Of the amount
credited to all the European nations. Our
railroads about equal in length the roads of
Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia,
Austria and Spain combined, and are more
than six times as long as those of all other
countries in Europe. In all our States rail-
roads are now constructed, as well as in
the Territories of Wyoming and Utah. In
ali the other territories, except Arizona and
Alaska, lines are projected. The New Eng
land States have mile Of rail-
road in operation on every 155 square
miles; were the whole country covered
with net of railways at this rate,
we should possess five times as many as
we have now, or about 250,0O0 miles. The
proportion of railroads and area in the
Middle States would, if uniform over the
entire country, give 100000 miles of road;
and the proportion III Ohio would give more
than $4,000 miles. In 1869 the entire cost
of railroads in the world, with their equip
ments, was estimated at eleven thousand
four hundred and forty-fiye million dollars,
(S1l Az, 5,000,000,) averaging ninety-six
Thousand six hundred and nine
teen dollars per mile. Of this
amount We represented twenty-five hun
dred and sixty-seven millions (S2,2G7O O00,-
0OO), averaging S45,523 per mile. The
average cost per mile equipped in Europe,
is S135, ,1S9. In England it is $176, ,269.
The average cost of construction only in the
United States is as follows: In New Eng
land, $4,000; Middle States, $4,000;
Southern States, $4,000; Western States,
S44, 600; Pacific States, $4,000. On our
cheaper lines, we, however, find greater
annual outlay for reconstruction and re-
pairs.

OTICK WORK.

In PittsbUrg, Pa, they make rail nearly
as fast as they lay it out West. A ger
ueman conversant with the facts writes
TO the Chicago RajIlrdy ReCicr, by Tri-
yate letter, the following extraordinary
statement "The Superior Rail Mill of this
city received an order by telegraph from the
Northern Pacific Railway Company for .ft-
teen hundred tons Of railroad iron, the last
Of October, which was manufactured in the
unprecedented short time of eight days,
from the first to the eighth of November,
and all shipped and delivered at the city of
Dnluth within an average of ttreIoe days
from the time of is manufacture This is
considerably the quickest work in transpor-
tation and manufacture that has ever been
done in this country"

GOLDEN CITY, CAL, Jan. 19.-The
Grand Duke, Gen. Sheridan, and a number
of prominent citizens of Denver, and of
