Railroad Earnings.

There is no interest which involves
equal trouble and responsibility as rail
roads, and which is oftener attended with
disaster to those who have means invest
ed-though the public never fails to be
the gamer by them. And there is no
investment which does not Weld larger
profit. This will be seen by an exami-
nation of the statistics which we find
furnished to our hand in contemporary
In round numbers, the cost of all the
railroads in this country has been 81
225, 900, 900. If they were earning 10
per cent on their cost, which would be
onl y reasonable profit, their net earn
lngs would be 1925, 100000 But their
gross earnings In 1874 were only 1925
1866, 600, and they were something less
IN 1875. Take out so per cent. of this
Tor operating expenses, and there remains
as the net earnings, $210, 1856, 400. And
this, 1t must be remembered, was not
distributed in dividends. The indehted- |
ness OF the roads amounts, in the aggre-
gate, to 81, 7OO,OOO,OOO, the interest on
which, at SIX per cent, is $1O2, 900, 900.
The roads, therefore, after paying their
'unnng expenses and the interest on
heir debts have sos, 1856, 400 to distrib-
lite IN the shape of dividends-wbicb is
MY about = per cent. on their cost.

4 Curious War Scene.

a correspondent of the London Stand

The officers on their way to Nish at the
first cannon-shot returned 10 their regi-
ments, but | was detained by a sight,
which even in the midst OF this sanguina-
~ fight, deserves to be recorded. Among
the drivers who bring provisions to the
camp in carts drawn by oxen, to return
the next day with the wounded to Nsh,
was young Bulgarian girl, about four
teen years old. driving a pair of bullaoes.
Along the road traversed by the girl thou
sands of Bashni-Bazouks daily pass, and
it leads through the midst of at least 3d.
600 soldiers. The girl appeared in the
camp instead of her father, who, she told
me. was i'll, but did not wish to lose his
share of the rich harvest which the war
brings, and although many OF the soldiers
east stolen glances at the unwonted appa-
rition, and perhaps reckoned up the time
since they had last seen a woman, the girl
passed uniniured, and without the slight
est fear, through the midst of their
ranks

The Exhibition at Philadelphia is in its
unconsciousness as well as its intent a
compendium of the United States. 1t is
big, bigger than anything of the kind ever
held in Europe; its points of interest arc
far apart, like our great cities it is i'm
mense in the aggregate, but poorly digest
ed in arrangement; 1t has intelligence
throbbing in every part of it, but in sep
arated nerves rather than in a ganglion.
1t impresses the man who trayerses its
walks and aisles al the soles Of the feet as
has proved a success. and that covers n
good deal of shortcomings. The Exhibit
ton is approaching an end now, and its at
tractiveness is proved by the fact that the
attendance has increased and averages
little short of one hundred thousand day
Next Friday is set down for the closing
day, and it is safe 10 assume that all efforts
to keep it open as n national attrac-
ton any longer will fail. So many thou

10th inst that il would be almost impossible
to keep anything like sufliciency of them
together to prolong me Exhibition as it is.
Those who make up the rush to see the
great fair now are going because a certain
day is fixed for the closing. The people
who put things of TO the last moment
would wait another week if the date of
closing was a week later.--NeC YORK. Her

The eighth National Cat Show was opened on
Oct. 20 at the Crystal Palace, London. There
were 30S cats on exhibition. Some were arraved

exhibitors set a value of E25,000 on Little
