Another quick change of inquiring, and re-

Not a word, but the eyes of each say plain

in their chairs, and withdraw their hands
from the table, with the air of men inviting
examination, and resolute to abide the result.
The veteran calls up two brothers of the
Green Cloth, competent to act as umpires;
and three minutes, fraught with mortal dan

cards as they lie ON the cloth, and naming
them slowly-lke the tolling of bell, or the
measured pronunciation Of death sentence,

simultaneous clicking of two pistol locks

THE LEADING POINTS IN RELATION TO THESE
BONDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Fist. The Stockholders have built first class road
and equipped it in first-class manner mainly .ch
their otcn money.
I'd. They have built their road through one of the
richest portions of the State where all the old roads
into Chicago are earning over $4,000 per mile per
annum, and are paying large and regular dividends
Sd. They have built the shortest road to the cee-
brated Block Coal Mines, whose products have
large and Increasing market in Chicago in the manu-
facture of iron. as well as for domestic uses.
4th. The road is done, well equipped, and earning
money, and no argument is required, in most new
enterprises, to show that the Company is able to
build it.
9th. The portion of the road opened for business
last year, earned than 80 per cent above Its in
terest liabilisies a'Hs4s
9Th. The amount Of the mortgage is very moderate,
being only about s1s5oO per mile.
7th. While Railroad Bonds may be plenty, those
upon finished lines certain to pay and for SO small
an amount, are seldom in the market.
sth. That as the amount remaining unsold is only
$1,o1s,Ooo, parties who want them should make i'm
mediate application. .2 4
The Bonds for $1,000 each, have forty years to
rum and bear interest at the rate of per cent per
annum, payable on the first Of April and October
both principal and interest being payable in gold in
New York
We do not hesitate to recommend these Bonds as
unusually SAFE They are attended with none OF the
uncertainties projected enterprises and the prompt
payment Of the interest, and the final payment Of
the principal, are as certain any future financial
event can well be.
