barn, an outcastirom friends and home,
was arrested in q barn in the Eighth

THE PEABODY INSURANCE CoMp AM OF
this city announces in our columns this
morning a stock dividend Of five per
cent. on it's capital stock, out Of the net
earnings OF the past six months,
amounting to the handsome sum OF &c..
$50. Notwithstanding the many dis
astrous fires which have occurred the
past few years, and the heavy losses
paid by the Peabody. not January or
July has past since it's organization
that q handsome dividend has not
been declared. This speaks well Of it's
management. and the company justly
deserves the honor OF being classed
among the reliable institutions OF the
country.

For months the leading powers of Europe
have been agltated from centre to circumfer-
ence. Nightly her crowned heads have tossed
sleeplessly on royal pillows. while all the
smaller fry have been vibrating between iea-
lously and fear-iealous because too insignifi-
cant to enter into competition with the bigger
national bugs, and fear lest some diabolical
scheme was concocting for their destruction.
Aud what is the matter? Why the Shah, the
Shah Of Persia. the King OF Kings" has con-
descended to allow bis royal vassals, Alexander,
William and Victoria, to look upon his face.
He has been more gracious than tins even !;
instead Of summoning them before HIM, he
has deigned to leave his own dominions and
take upon himself the trouble OF avist TO them.
lie has so far forgotten himself as to stay over
night in Paris, the capital Of people who dared
to make some little effort for freedom without
first asking his permission. Is it strange in
view Of all this that our friends across the
water should be profoundly moved to show
their gratitude to him, and should rack their
brains TO excel each other in seTvile demonstra-
tions?
Even Americans sometimes 80 forget them
selves and their national history as to be guilty
of very much the same conduct as this on the
mart of the nations over the sea. No doubt many
have beard with sense Of relief the Shah'e
determination to confne his travels to Eastern
world, aud so leave US out in the cold, for If he
had extended his tour to America we fear he
might have been granted the means Of airing
his healhenish manners TO n like extent here

The farmers of the West, in the con-
test Just commenced for the protection Of
the agricultural interest of the country
against exorbitant taxation by railroad monop-
olies, will not be likely to effect reform without
the building of new roads. over ordinary
highways. Indian corn can be transported at
the rate of 90 cents a ton per mile, and will
bear transportation only l25 miles, and wheat
but $50 miles, while upon railroads the cost OF
transportation equals L cent per mile.
In building railroads through agricultural DIS
tricts, the purpose was kept IL view OF getting
a center for the roads. where graud depot
could be located for the conveyance OF grain to
market. In this way Chicago. Milwaukee
Detroit Toledo. and other Western cities OBJ
tanned their rapid growth. The earliest idea
was dependence upon water transportation +;
but the rapid increase OF the freightage OF the
West compelled the opening OF trunk hnes OF
railroad IN connection with rhe Eastern sea-
board for the conveyance OF freight for the
winter months IN the year when wafer routes
were frozen up.
The building OF these trunk lines has re-
suited in their gradual consolidation, uutii the
New York Central, Hudson River, Lake Shore
S Michigan Southern form one Of these great
through lines; the Erie and Lake Shore another;
the Pennsylvania Central, Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago another.
Until about 1865, these roads ran under Sc
parate management, and were controlled in
the interests of the stockholders as well as the
sklppers of freight. Their capital stock was
kept within reasonable bounds, and their
bonded debts we're being extinguished as rapid
| ly as possible. But when Commodore Wander
| bit. who controlled the Hudson River Railroad,
made up his mind to become the Railroad
King of America, the first step was taken in
the watering of railroad stocks. BY grasping
the New York Central and becoming its Presi-
dent he was enabled TO declare scrip diyi-
dend Of so per cent. and when the Central
and Hudson River we're united, he distributed
another Fat slice Of q per cent. The capital
stock of these combined roads is nearly $780,
OOO 600, agalnst 535, OGO,OOO in 1862, and the
stocks and bonds Of both roads amount to over
S1O4, 100000 while their total cost OF build
ling and equipments is but little over S6O,-
00O,OOO.
The estimated increase of tine cost Of trans
portation, owing to this watering Of stock, is al
least ten per cent. and the stockholders re-
ceive eight per cent. on their watered stock
and realizing from 16 to "a per cent. on The
money originally invested.
The 81 me course has been pursued With the
Lake Shore q Michigan Southern, the Lake
Shore, Buffalo 4 Erie. The Stock OF the three
roads was a little over $3S, ,OoO, 900, and their
bonded debt 1s,5OOOO0. Now their capita
stock is s97, 500 900, and their stock aud bonded
debt s6s,0O0, 600. The stock capital Of SO.
