American Railways.

1t in stated that the mileage OF
railroads built IN America during
the past year was remarkable, 1t
having surpassed all previous ones.
During the year 1881, S,224
miles were constructed, aud the
average for the last two years Is
1869 miles, compared with an
average of only 3,342 miles for the
eight years from 1872 to 1880. There
are still large amounts OF capital
being employed in the same direc-
tion, and there are a number OF uh.
completed projected roads; but the
new mileage OF 1882 is not likely to
equal the high figures of last year.
The tendency OF the money market
was naturally towards ease, owing
in n measure to the January divi.
dends, and also to the reduction OF
speculative accounts and the de-
cline of prices during the last few
months. At times, however, there
has been considerable artificial
stringency and commissions addi.
tional to the legal rate have been
paid. But the ease now visible
might revive the confidence OF
spectators, and induce some re.
bound in prices, we're the strife of
railroad magnates to end.

GENTLE JASE AND TEASING rom.


Gentle Jane was as good As gold,
She always did as she was told,
She never spoke when Der mouth was full,
Nor caught blue-bOttles their legs to pull,
Nor split plum jam on her best new froek,
Nor put white mice IN the eight-day clock.
She didn't yiyisect her last new doll,
Nor igbibe passion for alcohol,
But when she grew mp she was given in
marriage
To first-elass Earl who keeps his carriage
Teasing Tom was a very bad boy.
A great big squirt was his favorite toy,
He put live shrimps in his fathers boots.
And stitched up the sleeves Of his Sunday
suits,
He smacked his poor little sisters heads,
And eayenne-peppePd their four post beds,
He put hot half-pennies down their backs,
Aud plastered their hair with eobblsr's
wax,
The end Of all he was lost tota 'ly,
For he married lady Of the corps dc

CAPITAL JOKE.
sheriff Henderson as General
Hancock.

Meridian Homestead.
The following is from the Baton
Rouge, (La.) CapitOltaR. To under.
sand the local references it will be
necessary TO remember that tue oe.
caslon WAS a banquet given on the
evening OF irenau's celebration.
Captain Henderson was raised in
Baton Rouge, aud left tor the war
IN 1861 in Il company OF that city.
All who know Captain Bob will
heartily appreciate the Joke:
The information having been con.
veyed that General ". :. Hancock
had reached the city and was stop.
ping at Grouehy's, a motion was
made to appoint a committee OF
three, with the Mayor aided, 10 in.
vite him TO honor the company
with his presence at the lunch. An
amendment was made and accepted
to increase the committee 10 five.
AS soon as the committee was or.
ganized, they sailed out in quest of
the General, who IN due time, made
his appearance in the hull, walking
arm aud arm with the Mayor. I'M.
der the escort of the remainder of
the committee. At that moment
the band struck up a national mir
and the assembly cheered with rap.
tnrous enthusiasm. When order
was restored, lhe Mayor in few
words introduced General Winfield
Scott Hancock TO the company,
who, through their orator, Captain
j. W. Amiss, expressed their high
appreciation OF the honor bestowed
upon them by his presence.
The General, though suffering
from II bad cold, acknowledged the
compliment bytelling the company
that he could recognize among their
sunburut faces, men who had worn
the gray while he led the boys in
blue. He was proud to meet them
as friends. He had on the previous
evening met Jefferson Davis at
ball in New Orleans, etc.
AT the conclusion of his appro.
pirate remarks, the members and
guests filed past, aud was in turn
introduced to the heroic soldier.
statesman, who occupies promi.
nent place in the hearts OF all true
Louisianians. Several in shaking
hands with him, assured him of
their partialty towards him. One
had been raised in the same Penn.
sylvania town with him. Tue scene
was extremely pleasing aud showed
that the boys OF No. | are equal to
any emergency.
After II pause, General Han.
cock again spoke, aud told the
assemblage that 1861, he left here
with the Pelican Rifles, with the
Other Baton Rouge boys. Since
then be has resided in Meridian,
Miss. He now holds the position
of sheriff Of Lauderlale county.
BY that time the mistake was
explained, IN the old Baton Rouge
boy. Captain Bob Henderson, was
identified. aud heartily welcomed
aud cbeerrd. Captain lob looks
every inch u general, having a
resemblance OF Gen. Han
cock, one OF whose relatives he was
taken for at the Cincinnati conven-
tion, by an Indignant Hendricks
man.
The joke was put up at Charley
aud admirably carried
ont, SO much 20, that our
friend kubpert went out and
broughut mp Sergeant Ferguson
from the barracks and Sergeant
Page from the national cemetery,
who appeared on the scene after
the joke had exploded. This incl
dent served to render the affair hll.
arious throughout.
