Germanv's Oldest Railroad.

DR.. Johenaeuser gives an account of the
Oldest German railway. which was opened in
December, ] S35, and ran between Nuremberg
and Furth. Although The Liverpool and Man
chester line was then in working order the
greatest difficulty was found In raising The
capital for the new line. though only about
e11. 900 was required. The most absurd oh
iections were raised and in 1884 the shares
were 80 per cent di-count.
However, in 1885, Bavarian engineer re.
turned from America, and under his care the
line was commenced and finished wi hin eight
months. The original Shareholders were very
handsomely rewarded. The trafie Increased
rapidly hat The SHARES quickly rose to 800
per cent premium.
From 1885 to 1860 the line worked in the
forenoon by horses and in The afternoon by
steam, the idea being TO save money. The
working expenses were low. The manager
was only paid 9100 a year and IN traffic
inspee or $40. The engine driver, on the other
hand, who was sent out by Stephenson, got
R125 year, and was thus paid more than his
nominal chiefs. AT the present dav the dlyi-
dend paid on the share capital is 21 per cent

A House in a Day,
Warrington Star.

Warrington Star.
"Ready-made houses are becom-
ing the fashion," said a builder.
of you want dwelling of your
own nowadays, you do not need to
wait half year to get it put up
you can have it built in a day
You write to a firm engaged in the
business for its advertising book,
which contains pictures of houses
that the firm is prepared to con-
struct, at prices all the way from
$3.50 to $4,000, together with plans
and specifications. Pick out your
residence, and an order addressed
to the firm will fetch at short no.
tice all the requisite materials, de-
posted on your lot. Within twen-
ty-four hours the dwelling is up
and complete. You may have a
cellar if you like, though most Of
the houses built in this way are
without cellars. All of the parts
are ready-made and so matched
and numbered that they can be
put together in an enormously
short space of time. This kind of
building has become quite in
vogue at summer resorts OF late
years. Nearly the whole of Cot
tage City,on the island Of Martha's
Vineyard, is constructed in that
way. II you want a cheap place
to live in summer, buy a little
patch of cheap land near the beach
in some secluded locality, and put
up a ready made house on it. The
whole cost ought not to be over
5000.

BE Wanted to be Robbed in Style

he Wanted to be Robbed in Style.
A lanky individual, in a long
and faded brown overcoat, dropped
into a restaurant on Dearborn
street one morning says the Texas
Siftings, took his seat at one of the
tables, placed his hat on the floor
beside his chair, and beckoned to
one of the walters.
"Have you got any stewed pun
kim" he asked.
81 think not" replied the waiter.
"Got any fried onionsw
"No."
"What have you got that a man
can eat, anyway"
"Here's our bill Of fare"
81 can't read it without my
specks, and l didn't bring 'em.
'Sposen' you was hungry yourself,
what'd you want?"
"Well, here's porterhouse steak,
roast turkey, with cranberry sauce,
veal outlets, Dreaded, saddle of
venison, minced CLAIMS on toast,
pork and beans"
"Pork an beans? That'll do.
Bring me some pork an beans and
a cup of sassafras tea, purity strong"
ave haven't any sassafras tea"
"Hain't got no sassafras tea.
What kind of a eatin' house arc
you runnin'? Don't you know eve
rybody ort to drink sassafras when
springs comm on? Kind o. thins
the blood, like. How much do you
charge for pork an beans :"
twenty-five cents"
The stranger stopped and picked
up his hat, put it on his head, rose
deliberately and said to the waiter
IN tone of whitening rebuke:
"Young man, when l want to
get robbed on pork an beans I'll
60 to a first-class tavern and have
it done in style. Any charge for
the time Pve been settin' down
here ? No? Well, good day"

member right l was sentenced to

Woes of an Editor.

He bought daily journal, and
to please all men diurnal was the
paramount ambition that he
cherished most intense.
He said he'd write the leaders to
conciliate all readers, and his edi-
torial matter it should never give
offence.
He would please the high and
lowly and the wicked and the holy,
the Republicans and Mugwumps,
Democrats and Ponulists.
He would eulogiZe the people
higher than the highest steeple,
and pet the slick aristocraUs and
fat monopolists.
He would lift no wrathful bosom,
but would study how to please 'em,
and his indiscriminate sweetness
would be scattered far and near.
He would shoot as from bat
terry daily fusidales Of flattery and
with promiscuous praises daily
storm the public ear.
But the Democrats did snub him
and the Mugwumps tried to club
him and a Presbyterian deacon
smote him on the shoulder.
And a 'piscopalian rector stabbed
him through the chest protector,
and a strong agnostic athlete
smashed him with a hand grenade
And the high-born and the lowly
the wicked and the holy when they
mobbed his hated office all were
equally profane.
And the deacon and the pastor
and the wicked dancing master
impartially upon his head their
equal blows did rain.
And Sunday superintendent, a
religious independent, and an in.
fidel free thinker seized and hurled
him in heap.
And a bloody iail-bird stilled
him, and gentle Quaker killed
him, and they buried him in part.
nership-his grave was dark and
deep.
