Railroads.

If the average reader were to be asked
show the longest railroad mileage, he would
in all probability designate New York or
Pennsylvania. But he would be mistaken
OF all the States, Illinois heads the list
with 1904 miles of railway, while far
behind come Pennsylvania with Z ,767 miles,
Iowa with 1903, New York with 1885
miles, and Ohio with 1927 miles. Texas
comes next, with G, ,687 miles. Ofall others,
Indiana and Michigan alone have over 5000
miles, while Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas
and Minnesota have over 1000, and Geor-
gia and California have over 5000. Hi
nois has longer railroad mileage than
New York, New jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland put together; New
England as unit has not more than g.
800 miles of railway In the amount of
capital stock New York is first with S46S,-
800, ,77T; then follow, in the order named,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, in which
States alone the capital stock exceeds $780,
100000. In bonded debt Pennsylvania
stands highest, with S426,579, ,204; after
her come New York, Ohio and Illinois,
each with over $500, 100000. The surplus
of assets over liabilities is highest in Hi
nois, being S64, ,841 ,913; then follow Mary
land with S47, 1867, ,675; California, S32,-
152, $50; Nebraska, S31 ,658, ,179; Missouri,
over S1O,O00,00O. The surplus of liabili-
ties over assets is largest in Indiana, being
$13,969, 1896; New York, S13,376,072;
and Georgia. S9. .637 sos.

The Labor of an Editor.

The labor of an editor can only be appre-
ciated by those who have had some expe-
rience in it. The merest slip of the pen, an
epithet too much, a wrong date, name
misspelt, or with a wrong initial before it,
the misinterpretation of some passage per-
haps incapable of Interpretation, the most
trifing offence to the personal or national
susceptibility of those who do not even
profess to care for the feelings of others,
may prove not only disagreeable, bat even
costly mistakes; but they are about, the
least of the mistakes to which an editor is
liable The editor must be on the spot till
the paper is sent to the press, and make
decisions on which not only the public, but
even greater causes may hang. He can
not husband his strength with comparative
repose in the solitude of study, or the
freshness Of green fields. He must see
the world, converse with its foremost OIL
business actors, be open to information
and on guard against error. All this
should be borne in the mind by those who
complain that journalism is not infallibly
accurate, just and agreeable.

The salaries of teachers in the public
schools in this country is the subject Of
some interesting figures in the New York
Mail and Express. The lowest average
per month paid in any State or Territory is
in Maine, men receiving S32.59; women,
S1628. Massachusetts eclipses her sister
State in low estimate of woman as COM
pared with man; the average wages re-
ceived here by male teachers is S10S.02 j;
by females, SAILS. Massachusetts has
been known to adhere to a superstition be-
fore. Now she declares in her educational
system man to be two and half times as
good asa woman. The highest salary paid
to both man and woman is in Nevada, be-
ing S140.50 and $96.01; but in this State,
which receives the smallest income, it should
be noticed there are but go male and
no female teachers. South Carolina shows
the highest appreciation Of woman's services
as compared with man, paying S26.92 to
male, S24.73 to female, until we reach the
live, progressive little State of West Vir-
gInia, and there woman's worth is at last
recognized. She receives S30.52, he $780,
81. 1t is only little difference, but no
other State has dared to assert so bold a
principle.

wealth of beauty meets my eye
Yellow and green, and brown and white,
In one vast blaze of glory fill
My happy sight.
The rich-robed trees, the ripening corn,
Bright colored with September fire
Fulfllment of the farmers hope,
And years desire
Sweet in the air are joyous sounds
fbird and bee and running brook;
And plenteous fruits hang ripening round,
where'er look.
The mellow splendor softly falls
On morning mists and evening dews,
And colors trees and flowers and clouds
With thousand bues.

Iwatch ye gathering side by side,
Like armies, in the solemn skies,
In stately pride.
love the woods, the changing woods,
Fast deepening down to russet glow,
When Autumn. like brunette Queen.
Rules all below.
The soul of Beauty haunts the heavens,
Nor leaves for long the warm-faced Earth,
And like mother, the kind air
To life gives birth.
But Death rides past upon the gale.
And blows the rustling golden leaves:
They whirl and fall, and rot and die,
And my heart grieves
FAREWELL Autumn days-farewell.
Ye go: but we shall meet again,
As old friends, who are parted long
By the wild main.

pure white. So to this day the Esquimau
dogs are dark, the wolves from which they
sprang are nearly white, and wherever the
latter meet the former they kill them and
suck their blood. Then came the ptarmi-
gan, the timid bird, and was made white;
but so fearful was it that the elder god would
take away even the short wings it had given
it that when the elders returned from the
south they found the ptarmigan in dusky
coat, and not until they had gone again did
it put on its new feathers of white.
And SO the willy fox, fearing that the
elders would not supply it with all the eggs
it could eat in the summer if it were the
enemy's uniform, returned to its coat of
blue during that time, and with many sly
winks and hypocritical assumptions put on
its white fur as soon as the last OF them
were gone and commenced worshiping the
southern god SO far away. But the musk
OK, and the walrus, and the big whale had
all ruled under Tornarsuk, and loyalty be-
lieved that he would be back and restore
the old manner of things, and they all re-
tained their old coats of black. "Give me
something begged the musk-ox, with
which to chew the winters hard grass.
His PRAYER was to the southern god, and
lie made him teeth, but made them white,
and So that all the others could see. ''Give
me something to search for the mussels and
CLAIMS that since the intense cold have bur-
rowed deep in the bottom of the sea, be-
seeched the walrus, and he made him tusks,
but he made them white. "Give me some
thing, oh southern god, in which | may
wrap myself to keep me from freezing in
your chilly waters, asked the whale, and
he covered him with foot or two of fat,
but he made it white, as his emblem.
Most loyal of all to the elder duck were
the Innuits, who had been the cause of all
the wrangling that was ending in the de-
struction of the country, and against them
and their god all the wrath of the great
southern deity was held. He told all the
animals and birds that until they became
loyal once again to him, and became white,
he would not convert Aksharnak into an
Eden as of yore but if by the time his
sun was weary of visiting the cold north
land they had not relented he would send
people whose faces were white to that land,
and when the dark-faccd men and women
dark-skinned animals and fishes were all
dead Aksharnak would be as before. And
now, my friends, whose fathers fathers
father told this so very long ago, and whose
listeners laughed at the thought of such
curious people as those with skins on them
like the polar bear, let me say that the
white men from the south are truly among
us, and it is too late for us to repent, but
over our bodies will blossom many kinds
of brilliant flowers that we see not in our
summers now, and on our graves will shine
never-setting SUM-"
And in the silence which followed this
narrative l. could not help but think that
however poorly or poetically 1t may be
worded, whether in legend, story, or plain
facts, this simple people, too, like all the
others of our continent, recognize their in
evitable extinction before the advancing
march of the whites.

day, with one of her hind legs fastened by
one of her horns. The West Chester, Pa,
Local News says "The horn had pene-
trated through the leg just above the hoof,
and SO tight was it that the man who took
off the hide was unable to remove it, and
had to cut off the leg before he could do
SO. The supposition is that the COW was
lying down at the time, when she was
stung by some insect, and attempted to
brush it off with her hind foot, when it
caught on the horn.n
