A Queer Craft.

A strange looking craft landed al the
Diamond 10 warehouse last evening. 1t
was a railroad transfer boat,-the North
ern Pacitic-and stopped on its way up
the river to get Wash Height to take it
over the rapids. The boat was built by
the Northern Pacific railroad company
five years ago, for the purpose of
transferring railroad trains across the
Missouri river at Bismark, D. 7. 1t is EOS
feet long, of sos tonnage and has a SIN
gle track running the whole length for
accommodation of six cars at trip. The
Northern Pacific has Il bridge at Bismark
now, and the Linehan Ferry company, of
Dubuque. have purchased the steamer,
and are sending it to the Key city, where
it is to be overhauled and double track
put in. so that ~ elve cars may be carried
at a time The boat will then be sent TO
Minneapolis for transferring purposes at
that point.

Our Railroads.

Figures gathered in the Railway Age
summarizing the mileage of new rail-
ways under construction and projected
thus far during 1885 indicate preparA.
tions for an amount of railway build
ing in the future which must surprise
persons who have given attention to the
subject. At what rate per year the ne "
mileage will be ad ded the Age does NO,
undertake to say. In 1882 the mileage
was IL $50 miles; in the five years pre-
ceeding 1884 the average mileage near y
8, 900 miles q year. II a portion OF the
enterprises now being projected are
com pleted, it is thought no. improba-
BILE that this activity will be equalled
or excelled in the next five years. We
have by no means reached in this
country the limit of profitable railway
construction. As the population be-
comes denser, and products, agricultu
raj and manufactured, become more
abundant, our present mileage of l26, roo
miles Is likely TO be doubled several
times over. A few compar isons on the
| basis OF area make this look extremely
probable. II the entire Union were ss
we'll equipped with rallwaysas Wiscon
| sin our mileage would he 22S 500 M ties.
| IL Illinois be taken for comparison,
467 900 would bG the figure, while IL the
mileage of the United States shou Id
ever become as Treat per square mile AZ
| that of Massachusetts IL would foot up
I'LL 900 miles. Massachusetts Ia per
haps adequately supplied, but many OF
the old and part OF the new States are
still deficient IN railroad facilities, and
must for some years TO come continue
| to build.

THE RUSSIAN MERCHANT.

His ostentation is OF peculiar kind.
He may delight in gaudy reception.
rooms, magnificent dinners, fast trot-
ters, costly furs; or he may display bis
riches by priLcely donations TO churches
monasteries, or benevolent institutions;
but in al this he never affects to be
other than he really is He habitually
wears IA costume which designates
plsinly his social position, makes no
attempt to adopt fine manners or ele-
CANT tastes, and never seeks to gain
adm ission TO the best seciety. Having
no desire to seem what he Is not, he has
plain, unaffected manner, and some
times certian quiet dignity, which
contrasts favorably with the affected
manner Of those mobiles of the lower
ranks who make pretensions to being
highly educated, and strive to adept
the outward forms Of Fsencn culture.
At his great dinners, it is tEae, the
Merchant likes 10 see as many gene
rails that ID TO say, othcial person
sRos-ss possible but he never dreams
OF thereby establishing an intimacy
With these percentages, or OF being In
viied by tham In return. 1t Is perfectly
u adtr rsioad by both parties that nothing
of the k.ud IS meant. The invitation IL
given End accepted from quite different
motives. The merchant has tue salts
faction Of seeing al his liable men OF
nigh official rank, and feels that the
consideration which he enjoys among
people OF bis own class is thereby aug.
nented. If he succeeds in obtaining
the presence of three generals, he OBJ
tains victory over rival who cannot
obtain more thau two. The general,
on his side, gets tirst-class dinner,
and acquires, in return for the honor he
has conferred, a certain underlined right
u request subscriptions for public OBJ
jects or benevolent institutions. Oi
coarse this underlined ght is commonly
nothing more than mere tacit under
