Some idea of the magnitude oil
this interest in our country may
be found by the statistics which
we print below. as well as of the
rapid increase of transportation
facilities for which the United
States are justly becoming lannon's.
1t is anticipated that the present
year will nearly equal that which
has just closed in the aggregate of
new roads, or rather of the num-
Der of miles that will be built.
Thus, in 1872 we see that 6,5ll
miles of new road were construct
ell in the United States, and writ
ers upon the subject tell lis that
the progress in this direction for
the next twelve months will be
unchecked. The following table
shows the number of miles pro-
.ected in 1872, and the number ac-
tually completed:

TAE BANANA TRADE.-Of all the
many trades in New York the
banana trade is, perhaps, the most
curious. 1t is in the hand of
single house, to whose energy and
enterprise is due the present large
importation of the fruit. Ten or
twelve years ago not one fiftieth
part now consumed in the city was
sent thither, and the cost of ban
anas was then quite out of reach
of the poorer classes. The firm
which imports them is composed
of three brothers, one of whom
superintends their farm at Aspin-
wall, from whence the stock is
shipped. Two of the brothers
conduct the business in New York.
They receive consignments from
Aspinwall by every steamer. The
fruit is put on board without be
ing packed, and being in a warm
temperature ripens considerably
during the passage. For this rea
SON the stock is plucked while the
fruit is yet green. Thus in par
TALLY ripe condition the fruit ar
rives in the city. 1t is then takeI

grces brings it to maturity in :
very short time. The bananas arr
sorted and those nearly ripe are, o
course, placed in a cooler atmos
phere. By this means the frui

that number. When the herring
were brought ashore and counted,
1t was found that there were Just
two hundred and iifty-two, and
young won the second pool.
After the fish had been counted
the party returned to the landing
where the preparations for baking
the shad had been in progress
since the arrival of the boat. A
desirable spot was selected near
the pavilion. Sloping back from
the beach vas a bluff OF clavcv
soil. This to the width of six or
eight feet was dug away, forming
perpendicular wall of earth six
or eight feet high and about the
same width, and making a rude
sort of fire place. Into that dry,
hard wood was thrown, and a
roaring Ere lighted. which blazed

Half a dozen seasoned oak planks,
three inches through, four or five

inches wide. had also heen pre-
pared, and these, when the wood
had been burned to Goals and the
bank heated to the roasting pitch,
were placed against the fire and
heated through and through to the
point of burning.
On these smooth clean plank
the shad were spread and nailed.
They were then stood up around
the Goals and hot hank, and baked

THE DANBURY News ON THE
LOST UMBRELLA.--A man may
lose friends, home, position, for
tune. They are different from an
umbrella. He may lose them; he
is sure to lose that. But he keeps
on buying or borrowing them. If
lac buys one some one borrows it,
and returns it to the wrong man
without knowing it. If he Dor
rows one some one steals it, out
right, and he has TO borrow an
other from another source to make
it good. We don't understand it.
Nine of every ten men who to day
possess umbrellas are not the own
ers of them. Heaven only knows
where the owners are. Perhaps
they ale dead-perhaps in exile,
and perhaps, which is more likely,
they are under other umbrellas.
People will borrow an umbrella
when they wouldn't borrow any
thing else. They will borrow it
as long rs there is bit of cloth
or rib to it. They will borrow the
stick if the slide is in it. While
it bears the remOtest semblance To
an umbrella they will borrow il,
and-keep it. We never yet saw
an umbrella SO reduced but that
some one would take it in. The
only time an umbrella is really in
valuable is when you want it, and
that is the exact time it fails to
appear. When the sun is shining
brightly and the dust is five inches
thick on level, an umbrella be-
comes one of the most repulsive
objects i'm christendom. On such
occasions it meets you on every
turn. You shut door and down
it comes and spreads out ana trips
you up. You haul down your
linen coat from the closet and find
something is holding it. 1t is that
umbrella. You move the -four
barrel to look for rat, and out
comes that miserable umbrella and
scrapes your shin. It raps YOU

trips you up in the hall, and fall.

JOURNALISTIC FOEs.-The late
James Gordon Bennett, of the
Herald, very seldom went any
where, his life being divided be-
tween his Office and his home.
The only public occasion of which
/ remember to have seen him was
at the dinner given by Sir Morton
Peto, at Delmonico' after the close
of the rebellion. Bennett then
seemed out of place, and was per-
sonally stranger to the company,
many of whom did not even know
his face. Beside him, Horace
Greeley, Henry j. Raymond, Man
ton Marble, Thurlow Weed, James
Brooks, William Cullen Bryant,
Theodore Tilton, David NJ. Stone,
Park Goodwin, Sydney Howard
Gay, George William Curtis, and
other noted journalists were pres
ent.
Not a few of these were unac-
quainted, and still more were I'M
willing to speak to each other.
Greeley, Bennett and Bryant pass
ed and re-passed without nod OF
recognition Weed and Greeley ig-
nored one another's existence: so
did Raymond and Marble, Stone
and Brooks, Tilton and Goodwin.
Gay and Curtis were and are still,
personal friends, and the latter
seemed to be almost the only gen
tleman holding amicable relations
with his brethren of the press. l
did not see any one Of the ffatern-
ity speak to Bennett during the
whole evening, and he held him
self aloof as if afraid he might
be spoken to. The terms on which
the principal seribes were at the
time have not materially changed
since, though Greeley, Bennett and
Raymond have quilted this planet
for ono, let us hope, in which there
is more professional courtesy anG

The nominal capital of all the

about three thousand five hundred
and fifty million dollars.

The total cost of G,51I miles of
road built in 1872 was 1924 ,OOO,-
600, which shows that the cost of
building railroads in this country
has greatly increased. This can
be accounted for in part by the
increased cost of labor, iron and
all the materials that enter into
railway equipment. But the in
creased cost of railroads, or rather
the nominal cost, can be also trac-
ed to the disposition of the pro-
jcctors to make individual fortunes
of colossal magnitude by increas-
ing the securities represented by
railroads: During the year all
sections of the country have been
building new roads, but THE great
est increase in mileage is in the
Western States. The following
table shows the progress made by
the United States in railroad build
ing from 1880 to the present time:
