Paris expects some day to become a
seaport, even though it is far inland.
The Seine is a tortuous and shallow
stream. Now and then, though rarely,
tourists make the trip up the river from
Hayre to Rouen. 1t is proposed to
dredge the channel deep enough for
ocean steamers all the way up to Poissy,
making thus a tidal basin $50 feet wide
and over 100miles long. At Poissy the

Wealth of the United States,

The wealth of the United States has
multiplied twelvefold during the past
forty years, and if it were equally dis
tributed among the inhabitants each
would have niue hundred and ninety
dollars. In'the same time the wealth oi
the United Kingdom has only doubled.
and from being five times greater than
that of this country, it is now smaller by
/ sir millions of dollars, .x III
While the inhux of emigrants has in
creased the aggregate, the rapid rise Of
population has kept down the ratio ot
wealth for each inhabitant.
There is $5,205, 100000 invested in
railways, or one hundred and four dol
lars for each person, and if the agricul-
tural interests of the country were di-
vided. each person would raise. .fifty-two
bushels Of grain . years the value of all
his crops would be forty dollars, and
. bis share of the .cattlA WOULD be thirty
ssix. Every day ofthe year, excepting
Sundays, the increase Of public wealth
in railways is one million dollars.
Manufactures have increased fivefold
in value, since 1850, and the most re-
markable Increase duEing the past ten
yesfs|has benin the pfoduction, of iron
and cotton, the former having risen
: from l,5sQ. 600 to 4, 100, 600 tons, and the
consumption ofraw fibre used in cotton
having increased from $4,000 to 911.-
100000 pounds.
Shipping has, of course, fallen off,
and while there were seventeen tons for
each inhabitant in 1860, there are now
only nine, tons. There has, neverthe-
less, been asteady increase of trade,
the value of imports and exports having
doubled since 1860, and multiplied ten
fold since 1880. The capital value Of
the commerce Of the country. distribut-
ed equally "among-all the inhabitants,
would be for 1880, thirty dollars.

The retirement of General Sher-
man from the active list of army Of
Ulcers causes several changes to be
made in the departments. Gen. Han
cock was assigned to the command of
the Missouri Division, now under the

erences Of Hancock, and other officers

ters at San Francisco, will take COM
mand of the Missouri Division, with

Tuscarora Times Review

| - - Len
Tuscarora Times Review
Few enterprises accomplished BY
man are Of greater magnitude than
the building Of this road across the
continent. 1t isindeed hardly second
to the first great international road
which connected the Atlantic with the
Pacific, and in some respects it is even
greater. The route Of this road is
about the 46th degree Of latitude
from Lake Superior to Puget Sound,
crossing Minnesota, Dakota, Montana,
Idaho and Washington--l98O miles.
The territory opened by this road
is about 1000 miles in length and 400
in width, extending through 81 de-
grees Of longitude and 7 degrees Of
altitude, and containing over 7OO,-
900 square miles; being equal in ex-
tent to half dozen first class king
doms of Europe. 1t is more than
fourteen time as large as England,
and twice as large as France, Spain,
Italy and Prussia together. II as
thickly populated as Massachusetts,, it
would contain population Of more
then one hundred millions,
And this vast territory is unsurpass-
ed in natural advantages and resour-
ces. It's climate is about ten degrees
warmer than in the same latitude on
the Atlantic coast. From Benton to
the east side of the Rocky Mountains
in latitude forty eight, has the same
mean temperature as Philadelphia;
and Walla Walla in latitude, As, west
of the mountains, the same as Wash
ington. The Columbia and the Mis-
souri,, with their tributaries afford hun
areds, yes thousands of miles Of nav
igable waters. The Yellow Stone, a
branch of the Missouri, entering it
3 5000 miles from the Gulf, is thou
sand miles in length, and itself has
tributaries which are nayigable for
700 miles; one of them, the Big Horn,
being larger and draining more terri
;ory than any river in New England.
Such is the country whose vast re-
ources are to be developed by this
great work now happily completed.
Thus it would seem our continental
ailroads, like the discovery of Aneri-
a are likely to change the commerce
# the world. What the trade of
America has done for Western Eu-
ope, the trade with Asia may do for
America, creating for us on the Pa
ific coast our Havres, South Hamp-
ons and Liverpools and laying across
ne United States to the very doors
our Eastern brethren, the highway
or the business and traffic of two
ontinents.
