 fourth are insane. while the infant popula- ton of the city institutions is large Mere over, the roll of physicians, attendants,
 nurses and keepers subject to their control comprises nearly five hundred bill before the legislature seeks to divide the depart ment of charities and corrections into four departments with a responsible head for each, Each commissioner is to be appoint ed by the mayor solely, the aldermen being kept at 8 distance, and is to hold office for six years. Subordinates are to be selected

Congressman Kasson of Iowa is reported a3 saying to an interviewer on the subject of national politics. ''So far as I can judge, the issues are all uniformed and the probable candidates of both parties are still not to be guessed. There never has been an approach ing campaign where so little can be discern ed as the next. The President makers are evidently watching each other closely, as well as the situation, and the object is more to conceal probabilities than to reveal them !"

The final report of the commissioners ap- Mobile ends an interesting affair. The city owed $2, 490, GOO. the bulk bearing per cent. interest, and three years ago undertook to repudiate the whole by giving up it's char ter and effecting 8 new municipal organiza- ton with another name. Accordingly the Alabama le2 islatufe annulled the charter of the city of Mobile, provided for Q commis- sion to take charge of it's property and set tie affairs under the direction of court as estates of persons deceased are settled, and erected the same territory into a new city called the ''Port of Mobile But the credi tors fought the matter in the courts, and at last got decision to the effect that the land and people which made the old city should be held for the old city debts. Under the ruling the commissioners could, of course, do no more than refund the debt, and that they have done. Three per cent. bonds have been ais- sued for all classes of debts, back taxes have been collected, and all affairs of the city wound up, and the wharves and other prop officers of the port
 An interesting account of good Peter Cooper's work for the poor of New York city during the hard winters of 1874-5. 1875 6 and 1876-7 is given. Every day during these winters, from o'clock in the after noon until 6:30, Peter Cooper sat in his of fee or library on Lexington avenue, and no one, however shabby in dress was refused admission. On the table before him were piled hundreds of newly coined half dollars and piles of one dollar greenbacks, and these piles were replenished every hour by the servant in attendance. His rule was to give every applicant half a dollar in any event, and if the case seemed to be 8 specially urgent one, the gift was doubled, with 8 re- quest either to write a history of the case, or have it authenticated by some clergymen or other authority, and send it in for further consideration. AS early as 230 o'clock in the afternoon crowds of poverty stricken people-men and women of every nationality and position in ife-might be seen gathered in front of the Lexington avenue residence, and the amount expended often amounted to $2o0 in single day, ir- respective of the special cases that were more carefully inquired into, and in which special aid was given. Most of the applicants were strangers, and many, of course, were frauds. But the old man proceeded upon the princi- pie that it is better to be deceived by many than to deny one deserving sufferer. In one week he gave in this way $1, 800.

many new points of interest. The total mileage
of the railroads of the United States Is 1889
miles. No other country In the world approaches
this vast mileage, and probably altogether they
do not exceed 1t. 1t would go round the wori
four and one-half times. The nominal capital
and debt would pay the national debt four or
five times, and the years earnings for 1857,
which are not n matter of imitation and stock
watering, amount to S770,000,0O0 or half the
national debt. TwO-sevenths of this amount was
for passengers, tive-sevenths for freight. The
average gross earning per mile was S1,lSS IN
1882; in New England it was SIS, 600, but in old
England he railroads in 1879 earned an average
of $4,000 per mile. The nearest approach to
this In America Is probably in Massachusetts,
where in 1882, the railroads earned an average
of 81 2, 500 per mile Thus the earning capacity
of railroads rises with density of population.
Mr.. Poor discovers that the average passenger
service in New England is equal to sixteen rides
for every inhabltant; in the Middle states, not
including the New York l. roads, TO ten rides for
every IDhabitant, while in the South not every
lnhabltant got even ride; in the West and
Southwest there were four times and on the Pa
cific coast seven times as many trips as tnhablt-
ants The average freight rate OF the whole
country was one and Two teDths cents per ton
per mile-that is, twelve cents per ten tons per
mile But this ia much higher than the average
rate for most of the traffic of the great East and
West trunk lines. The marvellous cheapnesS OF
this traffic from the great productive basin to
the seabOard is the substantial and satisfactory
achievement Of the American railroad system.

In the twenty four hours ending Thursday at
midnight, SO freight engines, pulling 1,606
1oaded cars and 700 empty cars, passed over
She eastern division of the road, now in charge
of superintendent George W. Stevens. This is
the biggest run in the history of the road
Superintendent Stevens, although in poor
health is at his post from A. NJ. to midnight,
daily, and his train dispatchers are putting in
about the same number of hours. The Chicago
Burlington 81 Quincy, as well, is doing the
heaviest business In its history. One day this
week. on the division extending from Creston
TO Ottumwa, in twenty-four hours, 40 trains
passed east and 81 wesr. The motive power re-
Uuired TO move these trains consisted of 40 en-
gines, each engine hauling from 27 to 40 loads.
The total number of cars handled aggregated
R,237. These cars placed in single line and
all coupled together would reach distance Of
fifteen miles, and represent a carrying capacity
of 67,670,00 pounds To handle this number
of cars required 100 brakemen, 40 conductors
and dispatchers. Some of the crews doubled"
the road that day, distance of $50 miles.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

The Frequent Accidents of Late Exciting
Z Comment
Within the last few weeks there have been sew
eral accidents on the railways of this country
which have been very fatal to life and damag.
sng to property, and on Western roads, in nearly
every case, the accidents have been of q class
which might have been avoided They have re-
suited through carelessncss on the part of train
despatchers in three cases, and from the fact
that train men were oYerwOrked in four cases:
and 1t Is quite evident that acciden Is from such
causes be avoided. The prese mt method of
handling trains, il fully understood and its rules
carried out, would prevent so per cent. of Ene
railroad accidents. Traffic over but few lines for
some months past has been so heavy that there
Is more than the usual number of trains moving,
vet accidents have been numerous when
business with railroads is booming. The last
number of the Railroad Gazette reports in July 1,
1888. total of 10 accidents, III which 81 per-
sons were killed and 204 hurt, an increase OF 27
Incidents, OF SO killed, and of 148 injured, as
compared with July, 1882. This comparison is
with All exceptionally favorable month. The
seven months of the current year, to the end of
July, show total of $50 accidents, 279 killed,
and ,Ol2 iniured-a monthly average OF 1873 ac-
Didents, 40 killed, and 145 injured. Nine cOllis-
Ions were caused by mistakes in giving or re-
Deiving ORDERS or by failure TO obey them; three
by failure to use signals three by misplaced
switches three by runaway engines; four by
trains breaking in two; two by fog; two by cars
run from sidings upon the main track, and one
by the wreck of a train upon another track. m
