1HE GROWTH OF kAILROADs.-The year
1873, although extremely unhealthy in its
later months for certain classes of railroad
enterprises, did not interfere with the
healthy growth of the others. Poor's Manual
of Railroads states that the total number
of miles of roads in operation at the close of
last year was 70.651, an increase of 1891 in
the number of miles operated. There were
built during the year 1916 miles. The gross
earnings of the roads amounted to $685. 200, :
600, being $62, 900, 600 more than in 1872
THIS increase has arisen, not from an ad-
vance in tariffs, but from the transaction OF
q greater volume Of business in al sections
Of the country.

A correspondent at Paris tells the follow
ing amusing story:

A correspondent at Paris tells the follow
ing amusing story:
"a very unfortunate young man was
pointed out to me yesterday. He had lived
in the country till he was IS years of age
when he became his own master, inherited
large fortune, and resolved to 90 and live
in Paris. He was, however, determined not
to vegetate in the capital, but to become the
talk of the town from the very first, and to
signalize himself by some eccentricity or
other. That was an ambition easily salts
fed, since for the last few months it has suf-
feed for a gentleman to drive out daily in
sledge, in order to become the hero of Paris
for whole week. Our young gentleman
hit upon another idea, almost as ingenious.
He possessed very fine white Newfound-
land dog and black cat quite as handsome
as the dog. This couple led cat and dog
gentleman resolved to make peace between
the two enemies, and to become famous by
their means.
After a few months his efforts were
crowned with success the cat would mount
on the dogs back, and the couple would
thus follow their master-at first when he
walked, and in course Of time when he rode.
In the small village where the hero resided,
his success was prodigious. He was the talk
even OF the whole department. When he
felt sure Of his two animals, the young man
started for Paris, taking along with him his
horse, his dog and his cat. Ike day after
his arrival in town, at in the afternoon, on
one Of the recent fine days, he mounted his
horse, made the cat mount the dog, and all
four started in the direction of the Arc de
Triomphe From the Place de la Concorde
up to the Round Point Of the Champs
Elysees, their march was one of triumph.
The young man, overjoyed at his success,
proud Of his idea, gravely continued his
victorious march, for in such cases GOODNESS
is half the battle. Alas the finest dreams
are to be dissipated. The Round Point
became the Tarpenian Rock of the cavalier
who was mounting to the Capitol. Just as
he was passing in front of the Italian ambas-
sador's, a scavenger, jealous of his rising
fame, spurted the water with which he was
laying the dust, against the dog and cat. At
this unexpected attack, dog and cat set up
dismal howl, and forgetting their role,
scampered off in fright, one right, the other
left, before their master and teacher had
time to calm their terror. The crowd laugh
ed loud and long, the unfortunate young
man never more set eyes on either the dog
or the cat, and returned home as obscure as
when he went out.
