Large and Small Ears.

Large ears, as has been observed,
hear things in genral, and denote
broad comprehensive views and modes
tof thought; while small ears hear
things in particular, showing q dispo-
Isition to individualize, often accom-
panied by the love Of the minute.
Large ears are usually satisfied
with the general principles involved
too strict an attention to the numera-
tion of details, especially all repeti-
tion of the more unimportant, Is
wearisome to them. People with
such ears like generally, and are usu-
ally fitted to conduct large enterprises,
to receive and pay out money in large
sums; in buying or selling would pre-
fer to leave margin rather than re-
duce the quantity of goods of any sort
to the exact dimensions of the meas
ure specified, and in giving would pre-
fer to give with free hand and without
too strict a calculation to the exact
amount. Small ears, ON the contrary,
desire to know the particulars of a

The Railroad.

Nothing could have been so disas-
trous to our railroad prospects as dry
season. Grading would have been
hard and expensive; the farmers wouli
have been timid and slow to take
stock in it, merchants would have
complained of hard times and dull
business, and stock-raieers would have
been in an ill humor generally. But
all these gloomy prospects have passed
away, and everybody is in good
humor now. The railroad stock will
all be taken SO quick that there will
hardly be enough to satisfy the people.
A half a dozen of our wealthy citizens
could build this road and never feel it.
But we do not want them to do it. AS
this is the first permanent and profit
able railroad investment that has
been presented to this people, we want
all to have an equal chance, This Los
Angeles and Independence road will
pay for its building and equipment in
five years. Some sharp business men
say it will do it i'm three or four years
at most, but We put it at five years.
This is equal to twenty per cent. on
the investment This is much better
than loaning money at one per cent.
and paying lawyers to search records
and draw mortgages and commission
or fee. to close the mortgage and coll
lect the money. Almost everybody is
making alittle more than expenses,
and many are putting their money in
the Savings bank at small interest.
Let them take stock in this road and
pay it in installments. Anyone that
has $50 on hand can take $500 stock.
1t will be called in in ten per cent. in
stallments and long before the Glast
installment is called in, the road will
be earning enough to pay its own way.
We have no idea that over sixty or
eighty per cent. of the stock will ever
be called for; in which event man
taking $500 worth ofstock would only
pay $500 or S400 for it. This stock
will sell for its full value long before.
the road is completed. But we do not
want any enc to think of selling this
stock; keep it. In five years it will
be worth twice what you paid for it,
and the dividends on q few hundred
dollars worth of it will support fam
lily. Z There is no investment in the
world that pays better than an hon.
estly conducted railroad, in any coun-
try where there is ordinary business;
and there is not road on the conti-
nent with such prospect for business
as this one has. If it was finished to-
day, Panamint alone could give it all
the freight it could carry for five--yea,
for twenty-years to come. But we
are asked why it is that the stock OF
SO many railroads is selling below par.
The explanation is easy. AS soon as
road ia well under way and the cars
begin to run and money is made, o
few sharp fellows get their heads to-
gether and begin to cry the stock
down; and they have one or more
men out buying up the stock at
a low figure. As soon as they get the
bulk of the stock in their hands they
call meeting and water the stock.
Perhaps there are some who do not
understand the process of watering
stock. They do it in this wise: Sup
pose q road has been built at a cost ol
one million dollars. A million dollars
worth of stock has been issued to those
