mite idea of the expense of building
railroad cars? Ordinary passenger cars
cost about 81 200; the last built for the
Hudson River road cost s. 400, which
included u heater and some extra fix
lures. The cheapest style Of Wagnor's
drawing-room cars varies in price from
$1,000 TO $4,000, which includes the
furnishing. Ordinary mail cars cost
from $4,000 to 5000, and baggage cars
about the same. The average price o

Keeping the Boys on the Farm.

In an extended argument rs to the
desirablity Of farmers sons sticking to
the farm, the Gin cinnati Commercial OBJ
serves that there is feature i'll this
matter of sons following the calling of
their fathers that is not sufficiently re
garded.
"The calling of their father may rise
to a higher dignity when the SONS
adopt the business, thoroughly learn it,
and zealously and proudly pursue it.
Then the accumulated reputation,
capital, and business Of the parent can
be inherited and preserved by the sons,
Again, i. is law of nature that holds
good in all the animal kingdom, that
aptness for any business may be in
herited, OF may be bred, rs we say OF
stock. The great desideratum in de-
yeloping race of trotters is to insure
an aptness to trot. And this comes not
from stock that has habitually been
used for the draught or chase or race
course. If the dam trots and the sire
trots we do not expect the offspring to
be running horse.
The old Spartans understood this
law of developing an aptness for a
given calling in the children. The
Germans of olden times developed a
race Of warriors on the same principle.
The law of heredity is so broad and so
powerful in its influence that it extends
to the temperament and even 10 the
tastes. The taste, though like the
muscle and reasoning faculties, may be
improved by education. Still the taste
fer and aptness for any calling may be
increased from generation to generation.
Then, if we are TO reach the highest de-
velopment as Q. race Of farmers, we must
EXPECT it through the line Of descent.
Tle son must inherit the fitness Of the
father, and take up the calling and
business where he left OIL, and his son
after him, and so on. When this shall
become the custom in our farming
families. then shall we zee greater
stability in society and higher type
Of civilization. Every parent has the
chief power TO bring this work about.
The very independence Of the farmer,
life il to be the germ which develops a
race that can not be other than an in
dependent people. Our nation u to
achieve its greatness in the develop
ment Of agriculture. Us power al
nome and abroad is to be established
and held through the arts OF husbandry,
practiced by skillful and yirtuous
race OF farmers. All then that can be
done by the state or family 10 enoble
and to dignity the calling, and to entail
its blessings and influence from father
to son, will add to the stability and
grandeur Of the nation"

was strong and buoyant during a greater
portion of the day and under brisk buying
prices advanced / to 81 per cent. The most
conspicuous in the upward movement were
Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central,
Pacific Mail, Erie, Wabash and Hannibal
and St. Joseph. Ohio and Mississippi rose
to 305 on buying for Baltimore account, but
closed q .30s.- Erie was strong on reports
that Keene was buying the stock and the
advance was assisted BY news of the opening
of the Hoosac tunnel route. Columbus,
Chicago and Indiana Central improved by
reason Of the compromise between this road
and the Pennsyl vania road, because the de-
cision Of Judge Harlin is announced, and
because the late road now uses the Column
bus, Chicago and Indiana Central road for
through freight business. thus increasing the
earnings Of the line. The advance in St.

bonds in equal amounts in payments. This
will give them S., 900 Of stock of the

offer will probably be accepted within a few

Sioux Falls photographic
Thoae spices for the rails of the Pembina
did not arrive, as expected, last week, but
have been anxiously looked for every day,
and yesterday the report was that they
would certainly be at Sioux City last night,
and would be forwarded so that track-layine
could proceed to-day. 1t is very aggravat-
ing to the management of the road that
work should be delayed so. but drawbacks
must come. Superintendent Merchant now
says that it does not seem possible that any
thing can prevent the line from being oper-
ated~ regularly to Sioux Falls the early part
of next week.
james H. Barrelle, who has been ap-
pointed station agent here, having been pro-
NOTED from Elk Point, has arrived, aud will
commence handling freight as soon as the
track reaches town. before the completion OF
the depot. Sioux Falls is very fortunate in
having Mr.. Barrelle sent here, as he is one
of the most afable and straight.up. and.
down men in the business, and will soon be
as popular here as at Elk Point, where the
business men felt like rebelling at his re.
moval. With Jimmie in one depot and
Charley Norton over in the other, the peo-
pie who do railroad business in Sioux Falls
may depend upon being used as white as
snow, so far as intercourse with agents ii
concerned.
The bridge is being put up by Lynch &
Desparois as fast as men can do it, and
work on it will be out Of the way as soon as
it is necessary for it to be done. 1t is 9
very fine and substantial structure.
The depot is enclosed, and the window
and door frames and the exterior orna
ments are being put in place. 1t already
shows that Mr.. Merchant meant it when h
said that Sioux Fall4 should have the finest
depot in the country. A good feature of il
