THE q. & A. AND THE ST. 10. Road,

Where the geography, names OF
railroads., &C., were all unfamiliar to
the reporters of St. Joseph it vas per-
fectly natural, rel unavoidable, that
they should fall into some errors III
writing up the proceedings there, last
Tuesday. These were of minor impor-
lance, except in one instance, where
it was stated that the G.. & A. railroad
was ready to build the bridge at Lex
ington. No such statement as this was
made by the representatives of Lexing-
ton,and it was simply a mistake. From
a letter we have received from Mr..
Blackstone, president of the G.. & A.
railway, we feel convinced that the St.
Joseph movement is being carefully
watched by the management of his
road, but it is not in a position to take
part In the matter as long as the St.
Jo. road is under the control ofthe
Wabash, and we do not desire to be
placed in the position of intimating
that it has been doing 30. When the
st. 10. road gets out of the control of
the Wabash the c. & A. will be free
to seek traffic arrangements with it,but
until then it will hardly do so. Any
who will glance at a map can see,
however, how valuable that connec-
ton would prove to the G. & A.

THE ST. JOSEPH ROADS BUSINESS,

In going to ST. Joseph, Monday, Dec %
we found the st. 10. & St. L. railroad
train crowded The local business was
large,ten or fifteen persons getting of
and on at each station. The next day
when the remainder of the delegation
wentup, they also found a crowded train,
one ofthe gentlemen leaving his seat hay
ing to sit tor the rest of the trip on the
newsboy s chest. We were told by the
local passengers that the train is uni
formly well %patronized We saw five or
six heavy freight trains moving on the
road. st. Joseph shippers united in
saying that o freights come to them
over that line than any other. A very
prominent railroad official Of another
road laughed at the idea that the St.
Joseph road did not pay, as did every
shipper to whom we talked. The only
conclusion to be arrived at from all this
is, that The St. 10. road does business
enough now to pay, and pay we'll, and
that under a friendly management it
can be made one of the very best
paying railroad properties in Missouri
or the west. This is the universal
opinion of all those persons who know
of its business and are in q position to
pass opinions of 1t which are at all of
value. Extend this road to Lexington
and operate 1t honestly and its stock
will stand second to none in this
part Of the country.

a combined meeting of representatives
of the st j. & St. l.. and other roaos
to asse mble there at that time.
Resolved, further, that II thanks are
due the gentlemen of Lexington o their
active interest i'll this matter, and that
our hearty reciprocation will always be
extended to the city of Lexington.
The resolutions were adopted unan-
imously.
MIR, E. l.. Marney desired to see the
committee thoroughly post themselves
| with facts and figures as to the business
of the road, and be so armed with
points as to be able to predicate on
future business.
Mr.. McCord thought that the facts
could be obtained from the railroad
officials.
Col. Schuster SAID that the business
of the road would be increased it the
line is put in better shape. st. Joseph
is not to be judged by the past, how
ever, for we are growing and the future
is our guide. Seventy-six per cent.
increase in the clearings last week is q
good guide, and shows the onward
movement of the city.
OIQeFS SpOkc Ou tuC suUJCCt, oho ~
was decided that it was the sense OF the
meeting that the committee go prepar-
ed to furnish an idea of the business of
the road and what the outlook for the
future might be expected to be on the
best attainable facts.
Capt. Lesueur in conclusion said that
this is a St. Joseph road and could be
nothing else. 1t is to the future more
than to the past that we are to look. If
the road is to be a success it must be by
working for the interest of St. Joseph.
The road is virtually out of debt and is
bound to be operated. They have the
road but not the books; 1t is said the
road is losing money, but this is sim
gular, in the face of good business,
both in the passenger and freight de-
partments. He desired before closing
to tender the thanks of the committee
to the citizens of St. Joseph and to the
board of trade for their hospitable
treatment and for the encouragement
given.
Tho mating then adjourned.

HOW TO MAKE WINTER EVENINGS
PROFITABLE.

FROM the scientific American.
This is the season of short days and
long evenings. the best time of all the
year for study and Improvement.
Perhaps you are a young man desir-
Gus of obtaining commercial employ
ment. One of the best passports in
that direction, next to good character,
is good handwriting. Of course, you
know how to write, but like the great
majority, probably, you have never
trained yourself to write well. No
merchant wants his books disfigured BY
awkward and illeglble scrawling. No
lawyer will submit to badly written
copies. We suggest yon devote your
self this winter to persevering,endeav-
ors to improve penmanship. You will
be surprised at the improvement which
real efforts in this line will achieve,
May be you would like to learn
stenography and type writing. The
faithful employment of your winter
evenings in this work may make you a
first class graduate before the long
days come again, and enable you to
earn a handsome support.
Do you wish to become expert as a
mechanical draughtsman? There are
excellent instruction books, sold very
cheaply. The industrious occupation
of your evening hours as a learner will
surely be fruitful of results. We know
Of excellent draughtsmen now enjoying
good salaries, who taught themselves to
draw in evening hours, while compan-
ions idled away their time in smoking,
cards, or gossip.
Are you of an inventive turn of
mind? The best of all times to study
up and think out plans for new con-
trivances is in the quietude of evening.
The results OF earnest thought in the
production of inventions a;e simply
astonishing. In general, it is the i'm
provements in simple devices, things OF
everyday use and that everybody
wants, which are most profitable. The
patent for the little invention of
the spring window shade roller, now
so generally employ ed in all dwellings,
has brought great wealth to the fortu.
nate inventor. He is now a millionaire.
His device was truly a happy thought
We know of a lady in Chicago whose
patents for the invention of q moving
belt for drying eggs, albumen, ETC.,
have revolutionized certain great
branches of trade, and now bring he,
a great income, The people want i'm.
provements in every conceivable form.
Not only is the field of invention vast,
but it is open to everybody. There
are no distinctions in respect to
sex or age. The way to invent is to
keep thinking" the way to accom-
pllsh anything is to keep working"

st. Joseph has taken right hold of

A N

There is no place on the Missouri
river where a bridge can be more
cheaply built than at Lexington. The
river is very narrow here; flows in one
body, and there is no difficulty as to
the approaches on either side. Beside
this, the revetment placed on the Ray
county side by the government has
proven effective in protecting that bank
from encroachment, and secures at this
place q permanent channel.

NOT so?

1t is not true that Jay Gould monop-
olizes the available coal around Lex
ington, Or ven one-tithe of it. Out of
a hundred thousand acres of easily ac-
cessible coal he owns about 1000 acres.
He does o own an acre OIL the line of
the old road bed and the easiest mined
coal in the county lies upon it.

THE REST ROuIE.

There is no sort of question that the
route by Lexington is the best one for
the G. B & Q railroad, and it will
take very little Investigation to ascer-
tain the fact. All we ask is, thai they
shall come and see.

After h board oftrade meeting was

it that we will do all in our power to
aid YOU"

Armored Ships Not in Renute.

Is it, therefore, O fact that armor-
clads are drifting into disrepute? 1t
cannot be disguised that at the present
time there are very earnest debates on
this point. The question as it affects
the armored ship stands differently
from what it did some years ago. An
insignificant torpedo-boat may by one
blow destroy the Infexible. To meet
this species of peril it has been pro-
posed to armor-plate the bottom of the
ships. Such proposal seems to be
carrying the principle of employing
armor to the verge of absurdity. There
is a demand on the part of naval of
ficers for crinoline netting to protect
the ships against locomotive torpedoes.
But where this device is adopted it
cannot be said to give a sense of
security. Moreover, the use of such
an appliance initiates against the speed
and hardness of the vessel, and ex-
poses her to other risks.-English
Shipbuilder.
