The Northeastern Railroad.

The annual meeting Of the stockholders
of the Northeastern Railroad Company
was held in Charleston on Thursday.
The annual election OF officers resulted as
follows: President, A. 4. Raverel; di-
rectors, r. r. Bridges, W. T. Walters, II.
B. Plant, B. f. Newcomer, c. O. White,
Ii. Walters.
President Ravenel submitted MS report
Of the operations Of the road during the
past year, from which it appears that ''the
previously good condition OF the roadway
and it's machinery has not only been fully
maintained during the past year, but has
been materially improved" and that
owing to the care and faithfulness with
whica the subordinate officers and en-
ployes OF the company have discharged
their duties there have been no serious ac-
cidents or irregularities In the movements
of The trains.
During the past year the Northeastern
railroad moved 1859 bales OF. cotton,
against 105, sos bales the preceding year,
or an excess Of 28,Sj bales. The business
in naval stores shows a diminutiOn of AS
Sl5 barrels, the movement OF this year
having been confined to So 5j barrels, as
against $50, 40 barrels the previous year.
This is TO be accounted Tor by the gradual
exhaustion OF the pine forests directly
upon the line of the road and others trIhu-
tary to it, and the removal of the labor
heretofore employed in this industry 70
newer and more remote territory.
The passenger service OF the company
has been extended and improved as cir
cumstaDces have required. The total in
crease in the revenues from the passenger
service has been $l5,O53 50.
During the year tne operating expenses
Of the road amounted to S407,25S 81. The
operating expenses include an eXpendi-
ture Of S37 $50 30 for 1890 tons OF steel
rails and fastepiugs, and $l4,00S expended
for two locomotives.

In MANY towns in Scotland whe

in many towns in Scotland where
street railroads are. in operation, in
stead of charging stated fare from
which there is no deviation on account
of the distance the passenger travels,
the car routes are laid off into dis
tricts. When man gets on a car he
pays one penny, which takes him to
the end of that district; then the con-
ductor collects another penny, and con-
tinuing at each new district unit the
term nus of the line is reached. By
this means passenger only pays for
the distance he rides, and is thus en-
couraged to enter the car when he has
but.a short distance to go.

Helpless Upon a Friendless Sea.

Who, in taking passage in great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feed thrill of
Bxultation over her magnificent power.
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor, nor
stop her onward course.
But let me describe a scene when, one
morning in mid-ocean, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed by q
cry: "The ships rudder is lostl" From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy of wind and wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings of the rudder were allowed to
wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped
deep into the seal
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
energy and in ambition, man confronts,
undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements.
But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder of his constitution is gone. He
has been careless of its preservation; mem
tai strain, nervous excitement, irregular
habits, over work, have destroyed the &C.

maintain vigor. Ard even now it may re-
store vitality to those organs and give
back to the man that which will lead him
to the haven of his ambition.-1he 1Faye1er.
