not time to upfasten the door, and passed on a
round the room. Coming to the bed he shout

and so round he went, still holly pursued. lie
endeavered to open the door again, but the en-

claimed. ''Pm going to jump in mo YOU
WON'T came again. s'Yes, but burned il T

The cable had just brought the information
that Bismark's trip into Bavaria was not intend
ed with any political effect, when it was next
employed to convey across the Atlantic, the
news of an attempt to ass;,ssinate him by ia
natical member of the Catholic party that is
FESTIVE under the subordilmtion of the King
dom to the power of North Germany As the
Prince was riding towards one of the springs
at Kissengen yesterday he was fired at and nar:
rowly escaped with his life. The bullet struck
him on the wrist, but inflicted no serious iniu-
ry. Kullman, the would-be murderer, was
and would have been lynched il the
people could have reached him. The Dispatch
es do not state his motive, but undoubtedly
he was an enthusiastic Bavarian, in whom a
patriotic and religious fervor had been melted
to the point of endeavoring to send out OF the
world the man who has been chiefly instrun,el~
tai in merging the independence of his nation
in the union of the Empire. The time was Sc
lected with view to its fitness, Bismark being
on visit with the Emperor to King Louis, who
has been lately reported as in the humor to re-
bel against the sllackles of Berlin authority. 1t
is said that there will be no further trouble.
and the enthusiasm shown by the people when
the Prince reappeared after his danger, does
not look as if popular sympathy went with
the attempt to take his Life. -Baltimoye Anaeri-

CHANGING A GAIT.-A blacksmith has sue
ceeded in changing the gait of pacing horse
to that of a trottar by simply fastening an en-
ira pair of shoes, heavier than usual, to his
forefeet, whenever he wants the horse to trot-
and taking them OH at all other times. The sud
len change OF weight on his forefeet forces ths
horse to change his gait.

A Railway Reaction in England,

In long article on railway matters the Lon
don Saturday revieso makes these significant
admissions
1.-THE rapid decline in the value of railway
stocks which commenced five or six months
ago, Continues with accelerated speed. The
traffic receipts ceased to show the CUSTOMARY
percentage of increase and of late they have
fallen short OF last years returns. The inevta-
Bile result of the diminishing activity of trade
mad bee.l foreseen; but hopes had been enter
tanned that the fall in the price of coal and iron
would In some degree, compensate for the re-
duction Of receipts. There is now little doubt.
that the dividends for the first half or the wear
1874, will be generally unsatisfactory. The ma
lorltles OF the companies have been bound bv
contracts made during the prevalence of hisi,
prices; SO that some time must elapse before
f''av can profit by recent changes. The adj
vanced wages OF railway servants and the in
crease in their numbers, caused by reduced
hours OF working, form permanent addition
work e expenses. Nearly all the great
are at present burdened by a heavy
c''' 90 1T Interest on unnro luctive capital.
Many hundred miles of authorized lines are now
in process OF construction: and the cost of la

A lady living in this COUNT y had her attention
drawn one day to some rats in al outer room,
surrounding pail which had been prepared for
the pigs. Observing them carefully, she soon
discovered that young rat had fallen into the
pail, and that his friends to the number of five
or six, were in consultation as to the best means
of rescuing him. The lady called others of her
family to witness the, rats man9uvres, while
they continued busily at work, regardless Of tn
presence Of the spectators. By twining their
feet together (the hind feet OF the foremost rat
being entwined with the fore feet Of the next
and so on), they formed a chain extending over
the side of the pail The foremostrat, supposed
to be the mother, then reached down, gaspet the
young one in her arms, and both were drawn
out on the floor. Unfortunately. their deliber-
atioss had occupied so much tims that the young
rat was drowned before he was eNtrcated, and
apparently the intelligence OF his friends did not
extend so far as to attempt resuscitatlon.

THEIR CONDITIONS AND PROSPECTS-CAPI-
TAI NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FOR THE PAST
YEAR-ToNNAGE AND TRAFFIC.
The financial storm which has recently
swept over the country, and from the effects of
which it is still suffering, was the natural, per-
haps it may be said the inevitable, result of the
excessive development Of our railway system
The amount invested in these works during the
past two years. as shown in Poor's Manual OF
the railroads Of the United States for 1874-'75,
has exceeded $1,000, OOO, 900 * or $500, OoO, 900
annually. The cost at the close of the past
year Of 81, 1887 miles of line whose operations
are given, was 1874, 543, O34, against SO, l59,-
423, 057 for 1872, and 1896, 627, 645 for ISL
the mileage for which returns were given be-
ing 81, 1913 for 1872, and 1854 for the prece-
ding year. The total mileage that had been
constructed up to the close of the year was
7O,651, Of which 81, 4Sl had been constructed
within the past ten years, and 2S,396 miles
within the past five years. The cost of the
mileage constructed within the latter PERIOD at
$40, 900 per mile, has equaled 81, 1876, SAC, O0O-
In the same period the cost Of the AZ ,252 miles
that had been previously constructed, has
been Increased by at least 1000 for the mile,
so that the whole amount expended in it on
these works has equalled 81, 769, $50, OOo or say
$3.50, 1000, 900 annually. 9
This enormous investment in one depart
ment of industry was far greater than that in
any other, consequently, the condition for ma
king the whole of it productive could not, by
any possibility, be reasonably provided. It is
Characteristic OF our railways that they create,
in a great measure, the traffic that is to render
them profitable. For this, time is required
When, therefore, there has been an abnormal
development, there must always be a consider
able number OF even nleritorious schemes, with
out sufficient capital to carry them over the
dead point" They have to be closed out
consequently to stronger parties, who can at
ford to wait the results that are sure in the end
to be realized # M
The earnings Of our railways the past year,
which equalled $500, 4l9,937, will give better
idea than the statement Of their cost, of the CO.
lossal magnitude OF this great interest. The
earnings for 1872 equalled 1855, "a, O55 /: for
1871, $403. 329.208. The increase for the two
years being sl23 900, 729 or at the rate of $751;
5OO,OOO annually. The rate of earnings upon
the whole investment the past year have been
l3.1 per cent. The net earnings for the past
year were $lS3, $40, 562, or 1896 per cent. upon
the investment: The earnings per head of our
population, estimated for the past year. at H.
2ll, 900, equaled 1880, against $1i SO for 1873
and $3.50 for 1871.
The rapid rate Of increase in the earnings OF
our roads in ratio to our populations matter
full OF encouragement, the rate being as preat
in States, the population of which is nearly
stationery, as in those where its increase is rap
