Railroad Cons ruction in the North
west.

The total new mileage for 1883 on roads
running into St. Paul and Minneapolis, is
1919. for 2 400 ia 1882 and 2,081 IN 1881.
The actual falling off is not so great ss'sp-
pears from this comparison, since the total
for 1882 embraces construction on the Cui-
cago system remote from So. Paul, not in
cluded in this years comsstation. An &C.
curate conp&iis1n would show a general
decline from 1881, the great
raill Dad. building year when 10, 900 miles of
new road were built in tho whole
country. The Northwestern on
struction is fairly divided among the great
systems. The Northern Pacific builds 363
on branches; the Manitoba, eighty-six miles
on the main line, and 800 on branches; the
Manitoba, eighty-six miles in the Red river
valley and DEVILS lake country; the Mil
weukee ITS miles, aud the Northwestern

next year will probably show much smaller

Old London Taverns.

If coziness is needed as condition
under which authors gain most inspira-
ton, such an abundance of that luxury
has been bestowed upon them. In one
direction, ever since the time of
Shakespeare, that, whatever hardships
they may have endured in private life,
they have had little cause to complain
of their public entertainment" So
closely, indeed, have the old coffee
houses, inns, and taverns in london be-
come associated with the names of men
of letters, so endless are the anecdotes
told of these eccentric people, of their
sayings and doings, their witticisms and
their epigrams, which have reached us
from these snug retreats, that no biog-
raphy of a literary man of any note
who has lived any time during the last
800 years, would be complete without
some reference to more than one old city
tavern. They were the "houses Of
old" for those who had fund of learn
ing, and were eager to exchange ideas.
The surroundings were eminently char
acteristic of men who placed erudition
before every other Circumstance" by
which our lives are governed. Here
they could feast over each others
words, and serve them up rechauffe
with bowl of punch. The floors were
sanded. the pipes were of clay, and the
seats were wooden high-backed
benches. This may not be the modern
notion of comfort; but to men so con-
servative by nature, a warm room and
curtained compartment, where
Shakespeare and Ben johnson had sat
In seats of honor, was an ample COM
pensation for the absence of showiness
and ease; and the gloom and mystery of
the courts and alleys in which these old
tayerns were invariably found, was
perhaps the secret of their attraction to
men of thoughtful and retiring dis
position. New faces were seldom seen;
it was a sort of club life, in which the
choice Of companionship was made in
the manner naturally adopted by birds
of feather" flocking in taverns, as in
trees.

Communal Sovereignty In the Colonies.

1t is a matter of profound interest to
observe that whatever may be the yarl-
atoms among these early settlements,
we find everywhere the distinct traces
of the old English village communities,
which again are traced by Freeman and
others to Swiss or German origin.
The founders of the first New England
towns did not simply settle themselves
upon the principle of "squatter sover-
eighty" each for himself; but they
founded municipal organizations, based
on common control Of the land. So
Systematically was this carried out that
in an old town like Cambri lge, Mass,
for instance, it would be easy at this
day, were all the early tax lists missing,
to determine the comparative worldly
condition of the different settlers simply
by comparing the proportion which
each had to maintain of the great
"pallysadoe" or paling which surround
ed the little settlement. These amounts
varied from seventy rods, In case of the
richest, TO two rods, In case of the poor
est; and so well was the work done that
the traces of the "fosse" about the pal
ing still remain In the willow trees on
the playground of the Harvard stu
dents. These early settlers simply
reproduced, with few necessary
notifications, those local instits-
tons which had come to them
from remote ancestors. The town paling
the town meeting, the town common,
the town pound, the fence-viewers, the
field drivers, the militia muster, even
the tip-staves of the constables, are
"survivals" of institutions older than
the Norman conquest of England.
Even the most matter of fact transac-
tons of their daily life, as the transfer
of land by giving piece of turf, an
instance of which occurred at Salem,
Mass, in 1896, sometimes carry us back
to usages absolutely medieyal-in this
case to the transfer "by turf and twig"
so familiar to historians. All that the
New England settlers added to their
traditional institutions-and it was a
great addition-was the system of COM
mon schools. Beyond New England
the analogies with inherited custom are,
according to Prof. Freeman, less clean
and unmistakable; but Prof Herbert
b. Adams has lately shown that the
Southern parish" and County" the
South Carolina "court-green" and
common pastures, as well as the
Maryland "manors" and "court-leets, Z"
all represent the same inherited princi-
pie of communal sovereignty. All these
traditional institutions are now being
carefully studied, with promise of the
most interesting results, by rising
school of historical students in the
United States.-T. W. Higginson, ia,

Their Great improvement ps Late Years

Their Great improvement % late Years.
Fashion plays a mors-;-iportant part
in the distribution of dress goods than
in any former period in the history OF
the country. The two primary causes
for this fact are, first, the increasing
wealth of customers, enabling them to
purchase costlier fabrics; and, second,
the improved taste of the masses,
growing out of the more-rapid commu-
nication between large cities, where
fashion holds court and rural commu-
mites. The fashionable styles of ladies'
costumes in metropolitan cities are soon
copied and adopted in the interior
towns and villages. Fashion plates
have become almost as important as
weekly price-lists of market quotations,
and women are as eager TO learn about
the new shades and texture of dress
fabrics as they are of their cost. To
meet this improved taste in quality, as
well as style, manufacturers are dis
carding old looms and substituting new
machinery, with processes of finish and
weave more In accordance with the pro-
gressive spirit of the age. The dress
goods industry has made rapid strides
in the United States within the past ten
years. Previous to that period silks,
cashmeres, nuns veilings, buntings and
all other dress goods, aside from worst
ed fabrics, were of foreign make. There
were one or two silk-mills in operation,
and q company organized and machine
cry started in the manufacture of silk
warp alpacas. In the manufactur-
of worsted dress goods there were
three corporations whose fabrics
had acquired popularity; the qualities,
however, were of medium and low
grades, and did not include the fine,
all-wool or worsted goods. Fine fabrics,
whether in silk, wool and worsted,
as well as i'll chintZes, lawns, percales
and ginghams, were all imported from
abroad. Meantime, home manufact-
urers were not idle; they soon discerned
the tendency of the masses for finer
fabrics, and energetically went to work
to meet this growing demand. Capital
was speedily obtained, old mills retitted
with the latest improved machinery,
new factories built, and the best mana
gers and designers to be found secured
In short time American silks became
popular, and now foules, shoodas,
cashmeres, nuns veilings and buntings,
which hitherto were so largely i'm
ported, are, to a considerable extent,
supplied from home manufacture. The
two greatest hinderances to the sue
cessful introduction of domestic dress
goods-lack of color and finish-have
been overcome, and in the manipulation
of dyes, as well as in smoothness Of
texture, American fabrics will compare
favorably with the best foreign goods.
All the new shades of electric blue,
terra Gotta, crushed strawberry, cream
bronze, and olive in dark as well as the
most delicate tintings, are reproduced
with as much spirit and tone in color as
those found in the finest imported
fabrics. All the leading makes of
cashmeres, nuns veilings, buntings and
lace checks of domestic manufacture
are sold up to production and values
firmly maintained. This is sufficient
proof of the great progress made in the
dress-goods industry within the last
decade
