RAILWAY MATTERS.



The annual reports of the Maine Central
Railroad have been printed, and the following
are abstracts;
DIRECTORS REPORT.
10 the Stockholders Of the Maine Central
Railroad Co.
The Directors respectfully present their re-
port OF the business of the road for the year
ending September Both, 1884 While the gross
earnings have been less, there has been such a
reduction In operating expenses as to leave
larger surplus than the preceding year For
the first nine months of the fiscal year, freight
earnings we're reduced SIS, 1872 10, and passen-
ger earnings $l,S15.45 Both freight and pas
senger earnings commenced increasing from
that Gate, so that for the year the freight earn
inas show reduction of $66, 1869, and MAX
ing thus gain In the last three months of $12-
olo.90 over the corresponding period last year.
while the passenger earnings showed an in
crease for the year OF $50206.11, making thus
gain IN the last three months of $50, O21 IS.
These gains in the last quarter of the year, es-
pecally in passenger earnings, are attribata-
BILE largely to the opening of our Mount Desert
Branch, upon which trains commenced run
hing regularly June 231, 1884.
In our last annual report, mention was made
OF the construction OF that branch, which adds
al. 10 miles to our mileage, land enables us to
reach the deep water OF Frenchmaus Bay at
the most convenient point for Bar Harbor
tourists, while st same time it gives US a ter
minus at point easily accessible to steamers
and sailing vessels from all parts OF Eastern
Maine and the province of Nova Scotia.
The advantages TO be gained by fur
nishing suitable facilities for bus
mess at that point were 80 apparent to the
directors that they felt justified in making a
large OUTLAY in anticipation of passenger and
freight traffic not only during the summer sea-
son but during the whole year. We have ey-
cry reason to be gratified By the results thus
far and believe this branch will continue a
valuable feeder to the main line, justifyine
the wisdom OF its construction. The company
operates 524 miles of road as follows

The Wrong Roll in the Right Place.

A gentleman at Darien who had been
on a collecting tour returned home the
other night with about 1900 in his
pocket. He locked every door, and was
so nervous that he didn't know wheth-
er he was a foot or a horseback. After
he and his wife had undressed and got
into bed, he got up and put the roll of
money into his wife's stocking. In the
morning when he got up he found his
money in his %pantaloons pocket, and
asked his wife if she wasn't astonished
when she found that roll of money in
her stocking. She said she didn't ind
any roll in her stocking. He told her
that he put it in her stocking the night
before. She insisted that if he did he
must have got up in his sleep and taken
it out. He insisted on examining her
stockings, to see if any of the roll had
remained there. She thought she felt
something kind of binding around her
toes. Finally she took off her shoe and
stocking, and found a half-pound roll
of fine-cut chewing tobacco nicely
jammed in about her toes. He said
that beat the deuce, and she said it had
taken the skin off her toes. That day
the man was very free with his tobacco,
anybody a chew who wanted it.
When the people of Darien, who accept
ed his Inequalities, read this, and know
that they helped chew that tobacco that
lady had worn in her shoe for a
of hours, they will say words
that they ought to be ashamed Of
Sum.

MY OLD WOM1N md 1.

We nave crossed the bridge DER the middle of
life,
My old woman and /,
Taking our share in the calm and strife
With the travellers passing by;
And though on our pathway the shadows are
rife,
There's a light in the western sky.
Some losses and crosses, of course we've had,
My old woman and /,
But, bless you, we've never found time to be
sad,
And a very good reason why;
We were busy as bees, and we weren't so
As to stop in our work and cry.
On our changeable road as we journeyed
along,
My old woman and ].
kindly companions we met in the throng
Made our lives like a vision fly:
And therefore the few who imagined us
wrong
Scarcely cost us a single sigh.
The weak and the weary we've striven to
cheer,
My old woman and !,
For each of us thought that our duty while
here,
Was to do as we'd be done by,
m the hope to exhibit Il balance clear
When the reckoning day is nigh.

THE HORRID CAMPAIGN.


Vie,cs of a PittsJiIy Belle VINO Heartily
Uishes IT Vas Orer.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Eyes, | wish this horrid campaign, as
they call it, was over" snappishly re-
marked a pretty brunette in a house on
Fifth avenue yesterday.
"'And why do you wish it was overP'
asked her companion.
Haven't you noticed" she answer-
ed, that ever since they began this
campaign we girls have not had half
the fun we used to havep A number of
young men were accustomed to come
and see me every evening before poll
tics began to boom, as they say, and
Name and l used to have such fun that
it was just too jolly for everything.
Now they hardly ever come around,
and if you ask them their reasons for
being absent, the answer is: We'll, we
are organizing a Blaine and Logan club
tonight or, The Young Mems Repub-
lican club, of which | am a member, is
getting things in shape for the cam
paign,' or, i was going through the
ward to see how many votes Cleveland
will have So you see it knocks
the fun out of a girls life.
Now there's Charley. Charlie and /
were getting along very nicely, and |
had hoped that we would be one before
Christmas, but he comes to see me very
seldom now, and | hear he is studying
up Protection and Free Trade, so as to
be able to debate with Jim 1t
will take another year to put is on the
footing as formerly"
''But l have seen some gentlemen
at your house lately" answered
the brunett's companion.
Eyes, that's true, but it would better
me if they would keep away.
They are not in the parlor five minutes
before they are flinging patches of
'Blaine's record and 'Cleveland's
record at one another. They will get
wild over 'loppers' and 'kickers' and
other words which l can not re-
member. Then there's pa, also. He
used to be very liberal, but now if l ask
him for any large amount he squirms
and says that he has to give so
much to this club, and a fortune to the
campaign fund. Yes, l do wish this
horrid campaign was over" and with
his remark the vivacious brunette
iouned out of the room to get a seaside
novel.
