The success Of The elevated railway In New
York has stimulated other cities, ana elevated
railroads threaten To soon become the rage.
The most promising scheme Is that OF Boston
Boston Is like New York the entire central
portion Of the city is all built up and u large
number of people hny" TO find residences In
the suburbs, and lose . great deal Of time
each day coming into the city by the horse
cars. the elevated railroad will save this
time to those suburban residents and be Of
great advantage to Boston. Two lines are
proposed one to run from Boston to the
Highlands, with branches to Cambridge,
Charleston and South Boston, the other to
run to SonervilIp, Chelsea and vicinity.

A WANT LONG FELT.

The railroad system of England. in tho mat
ter OF caring for the persons and the property
OF passengers, IS like the cab system Of Paris,
wonder ana Il JOY. Things have been
brought to 50 fine u point in both instances
that 1t Is practically impossible to lose any
article or to be wrouged in any manner what
soever. We have anecdotes of experiments
on the English railways when, to test the
working of the system, men have left small
packages In the cars or dropped their hats or
gloves out OF the windows, and when by sim
ply telegraphing to the nearest station they
have had the lost or .mislaid article delivered
at any given address on the following morn
ing As for the Paris cabs, 1t Is notorious
that any valuable left in one of them can be
infalliby recovered next day at a central
Office devoted to that purpose. The owner Of
the article in question has only to call
there, state the cireums sances and describe
his property. In order to receive it
exactly In the condition In which he lost it.
Such systems as these have elevated the civ
liz alton Of lgland and France, and made 1t
the envy and admiration OF the rest OF the
world. Especially do they appeal TO the visit
full envy of this part Of the globe when we re-
fleet how poorly supplied we are with similar
convenienees.
Take the railroads running to New Or
leans. for instance. We know Of case which

Some days ago large quantity of tobacco
belonging to Iessrs. Hernsheim Eros, Kill
patrick \ Co., Meyer Bros. and Thomas
Wilt, was seized by she revenue officials III
this city for what was claimed to be a viola
ton of the revenue law, in that the tobacco
had been changed from the casks III which it
was brought to this market to others better
adapted for its foreign shipment. Such
change had been the custom here with tobac-
60 dealers for years, and the seizure excited
much surprise ct the time. 1t seems, how
ever. that the view of the revenue laws taken
BY the local officials Is sustained by the
authorities at Washington. Yesterday, : In
ordering the release OF the tobacco, Commits
sioner Raum held that ali such tobacco, II IN
tended tor consumption, must be put up IN
large PACKAGES in d tobacco mandatory and
properly stamped. This decision is against

dealers. III 1T il made OF universal applica-
zion there will be less objection to 1t.
