The Railroads In 1880.


From the annual. report Of the Auditor
OF Railroad Accounts dated Nov. |. 1880.
it appears that the condition of railroad
property in the Uuited States notably inn
proved last year. especially in the case OF
the roads west of the Mississippi river.
The most marked Improvement has been
on the great trunk line of the Union and
Central Pacific Companies. which owe the
United States Government nearly $780,
900. 900.
Comparing 1879 with 1878, the gross
earnings of the railroads in the United
States increased about $4,000 600. or
about 8 per cent: the working expenses
expenses increased $780, 900, or about
81 per cent; the net earnings increased
932, 500 900, or more than II per cent.
while the mileage increased about 6 per
cent, or nearly 4,S00 miles
This increased business was reported
almost wholly from the railroads of the
Middle, Western. and South western
States, the business of the roads 10 the
Pacific, New England. aud Southern
States not materially improving.
Tho attention of the national Govern
ment 10 invited to the subject of railroad
accidents and their prevention. and it 10
suggested that some action be taken look
ing to the safety of life and property on
railroads.

Barring this vice, he Had everything

His frm-shut hand with the favorite phythns

Then tell me mothers, wasn't it haId TO lose,
And miss him from my side
Ny little boy that died .
How many another, boy, as dear and charming
His fathers hope, his mothers one delight,
Slips through strange sickness, all fear dis

And lives long, long life in parents sight.
Mine was so short pride =
And then-my poor boy died.
l see him rocking on his wooden charger;
hear him pattering through the house all

watch his great blue eyes grow larger and
larger
Listening to the stories, whether grave Oh
gay,
Told at the bright tireside--
So dark now, since he died.
But yet often think my boy is living,
As living as my other children are
When goodnight kisses all around am giving
keep one for him, though he is so far.
Can mere grave divide
Me from hin--though he diedl
So while come and plant it o er with daisies
Nothing but childish daisies all year ronnd)
Continually Gods hand the cnrtain raises,
Aud can hear his merry voice : sound
And feel him at my side
My little boy that died. ...
