RAILROADS..

Among the communities which have most
distinguished themselves in railroad construc.
tion during tho year 1875 are the States of
California and Nevada. and the Territory of
Utah also the States Of New Jersey, New
York, etc. In the first named the narrow
gauge roads have been wonderfully developed,
and appear TO have been very successful, cs-
Pecially in the more mountainous Districts
The longest of these, and the longest, with
one exception, in the United States. is in
Nevada-thc "Eureka and Palisadc'-wLich
has length of ninety miles The "Deuvsr
and Rio Grande" alone exceeds this in length,
extending, as it dUes, from Denver to Pueblo
l2O miles, with a branch to Carson City Of
43 miles. With regard to the railroad pros
poets of the present year the Amcricau Rail
road Journal says it is not wise to PREDICT
Having passed through two years period Of
stagnation in railroad building. much has been
done towards recovery from the pressure of
the financial spasm of September, 1878 and
companies having reorganized, abundance of
money and cheap labor will probably lead to
results that otherwise could not be- attained.

An Exquisite Story.

In the tribe Of Neggedch, there was a horse
whose fame was spread far and near, and the
Bedouin Of another tribe, by name Daher. de-
sired extremely to possess it. Having offered
in vain for it his camCis and his whole wealth,
lie hit at length upon the following device by
which he hoped to gain the object of his de-
sire. lie resolved to stain his lace with the
juice of an herb, to c!othe himself in rags, to
tie his legs and neck together, so as to appear
as lame bcggar. Thus equipped, he went
to wait for Naber, the owner of the horse,
whom he knew was TO pass that way. When
lie saw Naber approaching on his beautiful
stced, he cried out in weak voice:
81 am POOR stranger; for three days
have been unable to move from this spot to
seek for food. I am dying. Help me, and
heaven will reward you"
The Bedouin kindly offered to take him
upon his horse and carry him home, but the
rogue replied:
81 cannot rise l have no strength left"
Naber, touched with pity, dismouu'ed, led
his horse to the spot, aud with great difficulty
set the seeming besgar on his back But no
sooner did Daher feel himself in the saddle
than he set spurs to the horse aud galIoped
off, calling out as he did so
1T is l. Dsher. l have got the horse, and
am off with him"
Naber called after him TO stop and listen.
Certain of not being pursued, be turned AID

was armed with a spear.

Because" said the noble Arab. "another
might be really i'll, and men would fear to
help him. You wonld be the cause of many
refusing 70 perform an act of charity, for
fear of being duped, as have been"
Struck with shame at these words. then
springing from the horse, returned it to its
owner, embracing him. Naber made him ac-
company him TO his tent, where they spent
few days together and became fast friends fo-
