Cool Mr.. Bethel.
Temple Bari


Once in case before Sir Lancelot Shadwell,
Mr.. Wakefield demanded that judgment should
be given in his favor, because Sir Lancelot
had already given his decision in the similar
case of Jones VS.. Webb. The vice-chancellor
had no recollection on the point. Mr.. Bethel,
on the other side, was equal to the occasion.
He got up and said: ST perfectly recollect
the case of Jones and Webb mentioned by my
learned friend, but my learned friend, of course
accidentally, omitted to mention that your
Henors Judgment was finally reversed on ap-
peal in the House of Lords" This was too
much for the ingenious Mr.. Wakefield, who,
in his deseair, was heard 10 mutter, "What a
id lie there never was such a case at ALP
Mr. Bethel WAS, it may be supposed, cool
hand at election times. Once he attended a
Stormy meeting of his constituents at Ayles-
bury. He was terribly attacked for not having

PORTLAND PUBLISHING CO.,
PORTLAND,
Our Railroads.

Nearly ten thousand miles of rallroad-in
exact figures 9,35S-were built in this coun-
try last year. The cost, at al sverage of
$4,000 a mile, is reckoned at $233, 100000.
In addition, $175,000,0Go have been expend-
ed on lines in progress, on improvement of
tracks, on stations and other equipments.
Even the enormous activity in railroad
building which distinguished 1871 was far
exceeded in 1881. Then 1879 miles were
built, while 1881 showed about 1000 more.
According to Poor's Railroad Manual, up to
the first of June, 1882, 3,677 miles were OPP
ened, against !, 734 for the corresponding pc
Rod of 1881; and the Railway Age puts the
number of miles built during the first six
months of the year at about 5000 against
1000 milesfor the half year in 1881.
In 1S7o-71-72, years of unexampled enter
prise in railroad instruction, only 1927
miles were built, against the 10000 miles
for 1881 and 1882 alone.
We have now in the United States 107, 900
miles of railroad, about one-third of it built
in four and one-half years. Our rail way
mileage is now about the same as that of all
Europe. The earnings of all the roads in
operation last year, were SIPS 1925, 1I9, being
IAN increase over the previous year of $l10,-
100000, or nearly 16 per cent. They were
equal to $13 60 per head of our population.
The current expenses of the roads were
$449, 565,071. For interest on funded debts
$129, 1881, OO2 was paid, and in dividends $685.
344, 200 against SIT, lis, All for 1880. Over
$750,00O,00o was expended in the construc-
ton of new lines and in operating and i'm
proving the old ones.
Estimating the persons employed in oper-
ating these roads at twelve to the mile, there
were 200, 0000in all, to which must be add
ed 400, 900 engaged in railway construction,
making 100000, or about one thirty-second
part of the population. The amount of
freight carried is estimated at 350,000,000
tens, of an assumed value of 81, 900, 100000,
or more than 5000 per head of the whole
population.

Young Hostetter McGinnis, one of the FASH

ladv TO church Sunday evening. AS he had
been up quite late the night before, he was
yery sleepy. consequently he did not flirt with
the fashionable young lady, as he had hereto
fore been iu the habit of doing in church.
"What is the matter with you?" she whis-
pered.

"You wake up and giggle little, anyhow.
If we don't misbehave ourselves in church,
people will think we are married, and want
you to understand I've got reputation to sus-

lady acted so improperly that the sexton bad

BUCKINGHAM County, Va, has q some
what curious industry. Within an area Of
ten or fifteen miles there are some forty dis
tilleries engaged in manufacturing oil from
sassafras root. Each mill gives employment
to three hands. They use about 1000 pounds
of root day for each mill, and produce
from one to one and half gallons of oil
weighing ten pounds to the gallon. Thus
the forty distileries consume daily $4,000
pounds of sassafras root, make about fifty
gallons of oil, worth about $3.50 a gallon,
and thus earn 1925 per day.

BRAZIL bas just published its balance
sheet for Tie fiscal year ending June 80,
1881. which shows dedcit of 4,34S,7Z3
upon revenue Of 500 669,677. This deficit
is an improvement on recent years, The aver
age for five years past having been $4,000
900, or nearly one-half the annual revenue;
but ii is still far from the favorable showing
of ten years ago, when an equilibrium in
income and ouigo was secured just after the
Paraguayan war. Nearly one-fourth of the
deficit in 1881 is due to the emancipation
fund, whose expenditures exceeded receipts
by about 81, 100000. The large deficits of
recent years arise from heavy relief expepdi-
lures on the Ceara drought.

A COMPARISON of the value of Colorado
and Pennsylvania coal for locomotive pur-
poses is made in a recent report of the Cen
sral Manager of the Colorado Coal and Iron
Co. The figures are remarkable. On the
main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad the
number of miles run per ton of coal con-
sumed is 25, at a cost per mile for fuel of
500; on the United Railroads Of New Jersey
Division, 33 miles to the ton, at cost OF
9.8e per mile; on the Philadelphia and Erie
Division, 10 miles TO The ton, at a cost OF
7.33 per mile. On the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway the number of miles run TO
the ton is 10, at cost of 1873 per mile.
Considering the heavy grades of the Colora-
do road. the mileage record certainly is re-
msrkable; and the cost per mile in Colorado
il very low when the fact is considered that
the comparison is made with railroad ia
NOUS for its economical management, and
running through the greatest coal field in
the world The figures are credtable alike
to Colorado railway management, and to the
