FRANCE

LONDON, December 4.-A correspondent
Of the Tina, at Paris, commenting ON the
present political situation In France, says
no member Of the Left Centre, or Pure

signed to overturn the Cabinet. Either,
therefore, the Cabinet will be overturned
by the Extreme Left, or an order OF the
day will be framed 10 disguise q disunion
among the Left and cover their retreat.
In the former case Gambetta, as President
Of the Chamber Of Deputies, would refuse
the duty Of forming the new Cabinet, and

deplopble consequences at home and
abroad. In the latter case there will be q
barren agitation which might have been
spared. However this may be, the Left

know how to form governmental party.

Annual Report OF the Erie Railroad
A Good Showing.
NEw YoRK, December THE annual
report ofthe New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad shows the gross earn
ings of the road and branches to be $l5,.
s42,O22; working expenses, $l1,17S,69S;
net earnings, 81, ,76LS24; to which add the
earnings from other sources, $4S7, ,445;
total, IS, ,9O4, ,7e9; less interest of funded
debt, rentals OF leased lines and other
charges, $685. ,664; actual net surplus,
81, ,3l0.l05. This together with $2,0S6, ,lO9
received from the trustees for the improve.
ment Of the property has been expended
in double track, third rail, buildings,
equipment and other improvements. The
working expenses have been 70 per cent.
OF the earnings, but when the enormous
increase OF tonnage for the year and
the extremely low rates received for
carrying it are considered, it will be found
to compare favorably in point OF econo-
my with previous years. Indeed, the
cost Of movement, Sc cents per ton per
mile, is lower than ever before in the his.
tory OF the road. The increase in mer.
chandise tonnage over the previous year
was sol ,959 tons, aud in the tonnage move
ment Tor tons one mile) Il, ,S68,72S tons,
but Notwithstanding this the earnings
therefrom fell of S75S,740 because t6e
average rate received per ton per mile fell
from 81 o. in 1878, to IS cents in 1879.
The increase in the coal tonnage over the
previous year was !, 500, ,22l tons, and in
the tonnage movement, or tons one mile,
233, ,09l ,97l tons; but Notwithstanding this
the earnings therefrom increased only 81,
or, ,7Sl, because the average rate received
per ton per mile, fell from 70 cents in
1878 to ca cents in 1879. The increase in
the total tonnage was 2,662, ,l7S tons, in
the tous moved one mile 81, ass, 800 tons.
While the earnings increased only SlS,e0l,
owing to the average rate received per ton
per mile having decreased from o. per
ceuts in 1873 to IS cents in 1879, the in
crease in expenses Is caused by increas.
ed tonnage and the tonnage movement,
and because OF this very fact, as well as
large amonunt Of work done by the
usual repair force OF the road and the
embarrassment incident thereto while
conducting such a heavy tariff, the average
expenses per ton per mile fell off u
centsin IS to SO cents In 70.

This word, now in common use by all
politicians and trades-people, and used to
signify that politics are in a ierment and
trade rushing, was probably used in the
time of Noah, If not anterior to the date
Of that old patriarch. We do not care,
however, 70 investigate Noah's record, nor
% ascertain Just what words were in use
about the time he was gathering his great
family into the ark, but having gotten
them all safely in, and the doors and win.
dows closed, tits quite safe to assume that
when he heard the rushing OF the mighty
waters, and felt the ark rising with the
tide, he could not but, II he did not, ex.

word which we find in Webster, Worces.
ter and elsewhere:
Boom-To rush with violence, as q ship
under press Of sail.-R Webster.

And even Tennyson in one Of his poems
says: "At eve the beetle BooMETH athwart
the thicket lone"
Our own Washington Irving, in one Of
bis tine descriptions, speaks OF alarm
guns BOOMING through the night air."
Hillhouse in one Of his finest poems
speaks OF "The hoarse waves BOOMING to
the ocean shores"
Galconer, also, in one OF his earlier
poems, says: "o'er the sea-beat ships the
BOOMING waters roar"
When used by lumbermen "boom'' Ia
understood to mean q chain OF logs. or
rather q succession Of logs, fastened to-
gether by chains and used in A stream 10
intercept logs in their passage down.
Worcester says:
BoOM-To rush with violence as a ship
under sail. Nautical, to pooY alona
means to move rapidly, etc.
We think we have given a sufficient
number Of definitions Of the word to ex-
