BRITISH INVESTMENTS.
The Result of Their Pouring Into thu
United States.

United states.
It is no wonder, then, with constant
aggregation of capital pouring in upon
Great Britain, with an inability to make
it Weld a profit within her own domain
and, still further, the impossibility of
finding any other country where it can
be so safely invested, she should turn
in the direction of the United States,
which alone of all nations seems to
combine all the elements of safety and
profit. From list recently published
it appears that the amount of English
money which has been invested in indus
trial enterprises in the United States
has eoualed, in the last two years,
about 81, 900, 900 week, amounting IN
all to about 500, 900, 900. 1t is
not difficult to estimate the ultimate
influences set in motion by such prac-
tical union of material interests between
the two great English speaking nations
of the world. Mr.. Gladstone, in his
Paris speech, referring to the predic-
ton that at the end ofanother hundred
years the population of this continent
NAV be 600, OOO,O 600, recognized 1.-The
prospective and approaching right OF
America to be the great organ of the
powerful English tongue; and, allud-
ing to the United States and Great
Britain. added these significant words,
that there was no cause upon earth
that should now or hereafter divide one
from the other" That the interest OF
mankind at large will be advanced by
close bond of union between two great
Anplo-Saxon nations, no one can doubt,
and nothing will contribute more GER
tainlv to this harmony than the mutual
itv of interests which is certain to be
created by the investment OF British
capital in American industrial enter
rises.-Erastus Wiman, in North Amer
lean Review.

A lAMENTAsLE FACT.
The Rapid necay Of sOund Literary Taste
in the United States.

The Rand ttSrHX CT SDE1N Literary IaStS
in the United states.
There was never time when so many
books were published in the English Ian
yuare as now. They come flying from
the presses of the great publishing
houses on both sides of the ocean in
such showers as to darken the literary
heavens and to obscure for US the great
LIGHTS set in the intellectual armament
for all men and for all time. 1t is also,
Of course, true that there was never so
much reading done. The messenger
boy carries a cheap novel in his pocket
and snatches time to read it, and from
this boy upward through the scale to the
man of learning in his library, every
one is a reader. each in his own way.
And what do all these people read? BY
far the greater number of them might
answer with Hamlet: Words, words,
words" for there is little else within
the covers of the worthless books which
form their mental sustenance.
It is a lamentable fact that the rank
growth of cheap and ephemeral litera-
ture has not only crowded the classics
of the English tongue from the market,
but devot on to reading of the shallow
and crude sort has perverted the public
taste, dissipated the public mind, and
is giving us generation which can not
swallow or digest a wholesome literary
meal.
Nor is this confined to the less intelli-
gent and educated people. Our colleges
and high schools fail to surround their
pupils with literary atmosphere Or
save in the case of some individual
whose natural bent is too pronounced to
be denied-to send into the world men
and women of nice literary taste. A
story is told of the great List that he once
took a pupil of rare promise and kept
him play ng an exercise month after
month. Occasionally the learner would
mildly h Mt at his desire for a change,
but LIT only told him to be patient At
last, at the end of three years. the mas
+ ter said: "You may go and need not
come here again" "Why? Have l of
Tended you?" asked the astOnished and
distressed scholar No; but you play
that exercise perfectly. That means
that you can play any thing. | can
teach you no more"
The story is apocryphal, but it teaches
a great lesson. All really broad and
/ comprehensive critical taste in letters
depends upon knowledge of the mas
terly works which furnish our only fixed
/ standard Put school boy on a desert
4 island with only copy of the Spectator;
compel him to read this every day for
I five years to avoid mental starvation,
and he will come out with better
foundation upon which to build lit
erary education than his equally bright
fellow who has been at home reading
without direction or advice the books
from half a dozen circulating libraries.
/ But the classics can not stand beside
the popular" books of the day. ''Airy
+ Fairy Lillian will easily drive THE
/ Scarlet Letter from the field: "Ouida' is
/ far more than match for Thackeray;
/ Bellamy is a more acceptable philOso-
pher than Carlyle or Emerson, and so it
/ goes until one pauses in glad surprise
when he sees any one with a copy of any
worthy book in his hand.-Detroit Free

THE TRAIN DISPATCHER.
On the Accuracy of His Work Depends the
Lives of Travellers.

On the Accuracy of His Work Depends the
Lives of Travellers.
Sixty miles an hour! A mile min
ute! These are expressions that sug-
gest to every body sudden roar of an
iron monster, a wild shrek of piercing
whistle, the dazzling flash of the en-
gine's headlight, the hot rush of air, and
the slowly ceasing thunder of vibrating
rails. What else does it suggest? 10
the unreasoningly timid it briggs Wis
! ions of the horrible crash and snock Of
/ colliding trains, the deafening rover
bration of the last mad wild echoes that
hover above the wrecked coaches on the
lonely road. To those who have conf
dence in the eye that looks out beyond
the glaring headlight, and in the hand
that fondles the shining lever, it brings
the comfortable reflection of conscious
safety, and, as the tired eyes close
dreamingly, the last thought is one Of
perfect trust in the Providence of intel
ligent watchfulness that sits in the
glowing cab.
Once in a while, however, the long
train carries somebody whose duties i'll
life are those which the solitary engin-
eer is performing. If he thinks about
the matter at all his thoughts do not
center on the figure in the cab ahead.
They revert to long room in big
depot where the only sound that dis
turbs the weird stiffness of the place is
that of sharply clicking telegraph in
struments. A white-sleeved young man
sits at his little brass arrangement Of
KEYS or PAGES the floor overlooking the
labors of his assistants at the boards
This is the train dispatcher, and on
him devolves the responsibility for every
engine and every car that travels along
the road. 1t is he who must provide
against possible disaster or delay, and
with his fingers he speaks to every
glistening rail and every grimy smoke
stack on the long lines of railroad. The
engineer rests his hand on the throttle
with an easy mind. His thoughts may
wander away to the crib of his sleeping
babe or the couch that awaits his weary
limbs when his labors are over, and the
reflection of the light that streams from
the lamp above him may be to his jaded
eve the glow of the hearthstone.
But for the train dispatcher there is
no surcease of mental effort. He can
not browse for an instant and he may
not permit his fancy to roam from tho
business in hand even for the space of
time occupied by the stroke of the
clock on the wall. Ten miles an hour
or sixty miles an hour it matters little
to the dust-and-oil-stained figure IN the
cab. He knows where he is expected at
a certain time; he knows, too, that the
young man who directs his movements
has cleared the way for him and made
every thing safe for an easy run. The
romantic passenger doesn't think OF
these things. He feels that he has en-
trusted his life to the engineer, and
when he has reached his destination he
alights with a feeling of admiration
and gratitude for the man that sits
among the blazing Goals and fondies the
bar of iron that regulates his strange
steed.-Boston Herald.
