The night was bleak, and the wind was high,
And hurrying crowd went shivering by;
And some bought papers, and some bought

But the boys shriu voice rang cheerily on:

In the whirI of the throng there paused man,

The London postman who was found
the other day on duty too drunk to an
swer any questions, and with large
number of letters and postal cards in his
possession, got off easily with a fine OF
$40. The traditions of the English post
office preserve the story of jovial per
son who was the principal letter-carriel
in a provincial town, and who was found
one day by friend sitting on the curb
stone playing an imaginary game OF
whist, and gravely dealing the letters
around to partner and adYersmies, one OF
whom he conceived to be sitting in the
OVERLOOKING gutter. Fortunately the
game had only just begun, and the
drunken carrier was in the hands of a
friend, who got him out of sight as soon
as possible. Thanks to his luck he still
performs his daily round.

FINANCE AND COTTON
FINANCIAL

The Chicago Times, in speaking of the
changes taking place in the money centers
of the country, says; Another thing worthy
of note is the fact that outside OF the three
eastern cities OF New York, Philadelphia
and Boston there is an actual increase in
the volume OF exchanges as compared with
last year. The returns show an aggregate
outside of these three cities of SlI5, $50, 200
for the week ending April %, against Sli5, :
459 079 for the corresponding week last
wear. The gain is small, ii is true, but it is
A gain, nevertheless, against loss of about
$50 coo 900 for the three cities named. Ii
the eastern city of Baltimore also were
taken into the calculation the eastern loss
and the western gain would be found still
greater. Comparing the week ending April
Is with the preceding week, We find that
Baltimore and Philadelphia lost nearly
s2O,OO0,OO0, while the other cities gained
nearly $1,000 OCO."
These facts seem to indicate very clearly
that the western cities are growing in rela-
tive Importance quite rapidly, and that the
western and southern parts of the country
are becoming less and less dependent upon
the east for manufactured articles and for
eign imports. New York still stands pre-
eminent as commercial and financial CEN
ter, with volume OF exchanges two and q
half times as great AS that of all other clear
iHg.house cities combined. But the com.
mercial tendency may be inferred from the
fact that the proportion was more than
three to one only one year ago. New York
will always be a great city, no doubt, so
long as the conditions of our present ciyii-
cation exist; but, while it will increase alb
solutely in population and wealth, it is I'M
ouestionably destined to decline in relative
importance, while Chicago is destined to ad-
vance, both alb olutely and relatively.

The highest bridge in the world is said TO
be the railway yiaduct OF Garahit, in France
now being erected sver a river in the de.
partment OF Cantal The bridge mas a to-
tai length of about | $50 feet and near the
middle nj the great center arcn, which is
one OF the noteworthy features of the struc-
ture, the height from bed OF the river to
the rail is 4lSteet. The viaduct was COM
menced in lSSl, and is to be completed next
year. The cost is estimated at 5000 900.
The Railway Age will say; In the first
four months of the present year there were
J, io0 miles OF train track laid, against , SOO
during the corresponding period last year.
The decrease is owing to the cold Water
and backward spring interfering with work.
Notwithstanding this fact, mileage thus Tar
this season is greater than Tor the same pc
Rod OF any nrevlous year except 1882. The
work was done on seyenty-nye different
lines, in thirty-one states and terri
tories. The states which lead in con-
struction are: California, l70 miles; Utah,
l56; New York, us; Pennsylvania, 80; Mon.
tanna, Sc: Idaho, IS; Arizona, 81; Missouri,
70. Estimated railway building for the
year, 5000 miles.
The trip Of Jay Gould and party to the
southwest has not been without the ac-
complishment OF some results of impor.
lance TO railroad interest beyond the Mis-
sippi river, and 1t is believed that he will
not return to the east until he shall have
made such arrangements with all roads
that can be used as feeders to the South
ern Pacific as can be reached by any means
within the bonnds of reason. When the
results of Saturdays meeting of the board
of directors OF the Houston and Texas Cen
trail are fully known il will probably traus-
pire that the property and franchises of the
road have b, en- transferred to the Hunting
ton syndicate, af ter which new board OF
directors will have to be elected in the
interest of the Southern Pacific. Similar
arrangements with reference TO the Gulf.
Western Texas and Pac iic railway, the
Morgan railways in Louisiana, and the
steamship interests of the Morgan line
with the principal officers of the latter at
Galveston, will probably be effected.
