Physicians are we'll agreed that the use of
tobacco by growing boys is full of danger.
Recent investigations, especially in France,
have demonstrated that a whole train of nerv-
tice. If you want to stop growing, if you
want to have a set OF nerves that are like
those of an invalid old lady, if you wish to
grow feeble and thin, if you wish to look sal
low and puny, we do not know any better
way than to smoke tobacco. 1t will make a
drain on your nervous system which will be
sure to tell after while. Let us hope that
if thousand boys read this, some of them
will be saved from forming habit which
most men regret.

AN IMPORTANT CLAUSE OF THE
RAILROAD LAW OF THIS STATE
WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN
COMPLIED WITH

railroad companies and the management of the
affairs thereof, and other matters relating
thereto.
There are no less that So sections of this
law, and it covers 20 pages of the Compiled
Statutes Section Al (section 1869 of the
compilation, vol. p reads as follows:
1869. SEC A Every such railroad cor
0 alton shall make all annual report to the
Sc Rotary of State Of the operations of the
We ending on the thirty first day of Deem
Der, which report shall be verified by the
oaths of the President or acting Superlnten-
dent of operations the Secretary and Treas
urer of such corporation, and filed IN the
office of the Secretary OF State 10y the twentl-
eth day of January Ill each year, and shall
state: First-The capital stock and the
amount actually paid in. Second-Ihe
amount expended for the purchase OF lands tor
the construction OF the road, for building and
for engines s.nd cars, respectively. THIRD
The amount and nature of Its indebtedness
and the amount due the corporation. Fourth
The amount received from the transporta-
ton Of passengers, of property, OF mails, ex-
press matter, and from other sources. Fifth
The amount of freight, specifying the guam
tity in tons. Sixth-The amount paid for
repairs of engines, cars, buildings, and other
expenses, in gross, showing the current eX-
Denses of running such road. Stventh-Ihe
manner and amount of dividends, and hen
paid. Eighth number of engine houses
and shops, Of engines aud cars, aud then
character
Now by application to the Secretary of
State we learn that this section has never
been complied with. Railroads have been in
years, and i'll all that time this very Impor-
tant mandatory clause has been disregardcd,
utterly and contemptuouSy 1t IS a, fair in
ference that if there were a penalty fixed to
this section it would not have been, indeed,
would not now be, so sha melessly ig
nored. Perhaps 1t would be we'll to amend
this section bya proviso that its violation
should su nject thu delinquents to heavy
fine if not Il forfeiture of their charter. As
illustrating the Importance of this matter of
requiring the railroad companies doing bus
;nvss in this State to make official reports
under OATH each year, of their BUSINESS trans
actions, earnings, dividends etc, cite the
fact that of the 800 companies doing business
IN this country in 1876, (!ccordIng to Poor's
manual of the railroads III the Unlted States
editions of '77-'7S), the four roads organ
Hed and operated under the statute OF 1868
above alluded to, stand almost alone as non
compliant with law requiring annual
ports. Even the Union and Central Pacific
companies have made reports, though not to
the proper authorities here. As for exam

AUSTIN AND BATTLE MOUNTAIN RAILWAY. -
The Battle Mountain Messenger of Saturday
informs us as follows:
The ReueiLLe of Dec. Goth says We IN
derstand that General Ledie and associates
offer the Directors of the Nevada Railway
franchise to complete and equip the road with
steel rails, and to enter into bonds in the
sum of Sl,O0O,O00 to complete the entire
contract by August next. This looks like
business, and is encouraging for railroad

the condition III which most of The ENGLISH
wheat comes to market. Dry parcels are quite
an exception both in London and provincial

must be attributed the comparative neglect
from which home grown wheat has suffered,
andwhich has prevented us from sharing the
increased attention shown to foreign grain
The imports Of foreign wheat into London
continues moderate. More attention has
been paid to this class of produce as granaried
stocks in the United Kingdom show consid-
