We once knew gentleman-in the days
before the war-who was in quite comforta-
BILE circumstances, that gave in his taxes at
least % per cent. more than he owned. The
old tax books of the country in which he lived
will show lands that were never in existence
and negroes whom he owned only in magma
ton. His pride has since had fall, and he
can buy quarters worth of coffee and so
cents worth of sugar with as much grace as
the rest of us.-Cotumbus ga } Enquirer.

A Boston special to the New York Tribune,

Boston special to the New York Tribune
dated the 18th says: Charles H. Holmes,
better known as esquire" Holmes, died at
his home in Topsfield last night. He was
born in Maine, and was son of that celebrat-
ed John Holmes, who so ably represented
Maine in the United States Senate when 1t
vas first made a State Of the Union. He
was about eighty years of age, lawyer, and
practised some in the list of the Essex bar.
esquire" Holmes was the tallest man in Es-
sex county, being six feet eight inches in
height. He was q second lieutenant in the
late war, but was never SLOWED to go into
action because of his height. Being kept
on recruiting service he resigned. He used
to tell the story that Judge Gray of the Su-
preme Court, measured height with him
once in the Court House in Salem. The
judge fell an inch short Of the 'squire's stat
ure, and was so angry that he would never
speak to the squire again. Mr.. Holmes had
been widower for fifty years, his wife dying
when he was q young man. She was origi-
nally member of the Congregational church
in Topsfeld, but becoming converted to the
Roman Catholic faith eventually joined that
church. Her husband advised her to take
this step when he found she believed in the
faith.

Activity in Railroad Construction

The predictions which we're 90 generally
made At the beginning of the year, that 1856
would witness a large railway construction,
are already verified. During the first six
months, according to the reports made to the
Railway Age, ITS miles of new track were
laid, including additions to 90 lines in 81 OF
the States and Territories. Kansas leads IN
this record, 800 miles having been laid on
IL lines, and from each of the four States OF
Florida, Texas. Wisconsin and Illinois there
are reports of about 900 miles of new track.
The years record 10 double that of the cor
responding period of 1885. when the entire
mileage was 5000, and is 80 per cent OF that
of the frat half of 1888, when the total for
the year was 6753 miles. As a general rule
not more than one-third the railway construc-
ton Of year is recorded between January
and July, and there is good reason to believe
that the current years construction will reach,
if it does not exceed, 5000 miles. One of the
gratifying features of this activity consists In
the fact that il is the result of something more
solid than speculative enterprise arising from
hopes of general prosperity. IL rather indi-
Gates a general reviving prosperity and such
growth of the country that trade and trans
portation 10 requiring new accommodations.

could answer, her father rushed up,

quietly put his hand behind him with
out answering, but friends rushed in
