That the city of Ncwi‘York, long the first
of the country in magnitude and importance,
has advanced within a j few years in strides
almost disproportionately great, will be per-
fectly apparent to a phrase of Observation on
contemplating" the changes for the better
whic’have‘aken placerJt is not-very long
since Brooklyn and Jetscy City and Newark
were places of comparative insignificauce;
but now they have grown to be busy, popu1
ions, and wealthy, owing solely to the influ-
ence exerted upon ’ them'by the city of which
they are suburbs. q'fhefiboleislsnd’of Man-
hattan from the Batterydo the Harlem River
has become crowded; ufauymen who must
do business upon itbccahsctheyzcannotelse-
where trsdc as advantageously to. themselves,
are driven awayto find room for residence
and are obliged to build lioness and homes
for their families in some one cfthe surround-
ings of thsvgreat city. {This necessity alone
creates an imperative demand for speedy
transportation to and frbiu New York. But
fugher than that, thee , "isalso becoming a
vast depot for goods 0_ port and export,
and the great Pacific. fiilroad, now' being
built, cannotfail to presefve it sslong as the
country lasts, what it qlrfiéady lee-the com-
merclsi head and heart ii the Western Hem-
isphere. New England is' rapidly growing.
to be the virtual workshjiip, audher inhabi-
needs 'ol the festhity; and New. Jersey is
becoming, in cf, the garden, and her popu-
liiti be farmers, of the metropolis. For
all these'changm, graduaiyet inevitable, and
immense in their effects; there must be a
. corresponding improvement in facilities for
t ansportation. Businessmen flirc'ed from
the island must have easy and 'quick transit
to their homes; merchant's supplied from the
East 'with goods whifcb'lhe‘y dispatch to the
West require for them a sure and. safe deliv-
ery; the people of the cityjand its environs
must live, and the means ol‘subsisteuce must
r come certainly and regularly. The unavoid-
able consequence of all this is that railroads,
the best svennes'of trafilc, must be improved,
extended, and multiplied. * if 1’. .-. Silica
the first'milo-of railfiasa laid its-the United
States there has never been a time when such
,activity and enterprise in railroads was dis-
played as the present. Tb‘elines projected
and under'coustru‘ction in the entire country
may be numbered by hundreds. It therefore
follows that only a few of those about and
immediately affecting the interests of the
city of New York can be considered. It
will bc'seen'that in most cases the purpose
of each road is peculiar to itself, and does
not conflict with the business of any line al-
ready in operation; and where it does, the
axiom, that the more railroads there are the
better it is for all, may be applied satisfacto-
ialy. Also, that in most instances one great
object in view is to shorten distance, and
thereby save time. V
was. nos'rou, nsnrroan a ERIE RAILROAD.
In July, 1863, ' the State of Connecticut
chartered the Boston, Hartford, and Eric
Railroad Company to open railroad commu-
nication through the central portion of that
State, extendiugto and connecting with the
Erie Railroad at Fishkill on the west and
the harbor of Boston and the city of Provi-
dence onthc east. The charter further au-
thorized the Company to purchase the fran-
chise and; property of the Hartford, Prayi-
dence, and FishkilL-Thompson and Willi-
mautlc, Southern Midland, and Boston,
Hartford and Eric Extension Railroad, which
was done the same year. In December,
1884, the Boston, Hartford and Eric, and
New York and Boston Railroads merged
and united. By these purchases and this
union the company of the road under notice
acquired about 425 miles of chartered and
236 miles of constructed and running rail-
road. In order to complete the line between
Fisbklll and Boston it was necessary to con.
struct 103 miles of road—26 miles between
Mechanicsville and Wiliiinantic, and 77 miles
between Waterbury and Fishkill-and .for
that purpose the State of Massachusetts was
solicited to loan the Company $3,000,000n-
Thifiwas done by an act of Legislature of
the 27th of May, 1807. and on the 241k of
July the Legislature of Connecticut passed
an act authorizing the City of Hartford to
grant the Company a loan of $500,000. For
these loans the property ‘of the Company
was pledged as security. The main line of
read now runs from the foot of Summer st.,
in Boston, through Blackstone, Mechanics-
ville. Willlmantic, Hartford and Waterbury
to Fishkill, a distance of 220 miles, and for
the greater part of the route is nearly equi-
distant be'twecu the Western Railroad and
the New York and New Haven. The trunk
line crosses 11 railroads in operation, each
one of ahich is an important business route.
The incomplete portions have been surveyed
for a long time, and the reports of engineers
proved that the course is every favorable
one for an east and west line. It. was shown
that the lsa‘stradlus of curvature is five de-
grees to the thousand feet. The maximum
gradient ascending east is 00 feet in. straight
lines with a diminution of 2 1-2 feet for each
degree of" curvature. The maximum gradi~
ent ascending west is 06 feet. The. highest
summit'is in the ridge between the Harlem
Railroad and Hudson River. and is 7031eet.
.No railroad. entering Boston has as good a’
locationfor business as the Boston; Hartford
.sud Erie. It enters the business center at
l
l
. the foot of Summer street, and passes over
orunder all the streets it croms; vessels of
.the largest tonnage cau'iloal and load at its
wharvcs, thus afi‘ordiug facilities for foreign
and coastwiss trade. At tbe‘otlicr terminus
of the line tlfe company has large and valu-
able depot grounds, aud it has been author-
izcd by the State of New York to fill in
about 100 acres oi fists at Fishkill. It is es~
timsted that the road will cost about $45,000
a mile andihatit‘can be entirely completed
for $10,000,000, and other estimates shows
that after deducting the expenses of operat.
log, it will annually have about 12 per cent.
of the total cost with which to pay interest,
taxes and dividends. It maybe interentiug
to consider some of the sources of the anti-
cipated revenue to this road. One. of the
greatest is that of coal. The Boston, Harts
ford and Eric, when completed, will supply
millions of tons of coal to the people of
Massachusetts and lhs northern portion of
- ufsclurss. and industry.
tools the hand-workeragfor- the~ mechanical .
road, since that line will run south of this
route, which will. _ have ,thc lien efit of: the
Newburgh branch of one Eric Railway and
of , the projected Branchville Road. On
the line of this road, too, are large beds of
hematite and magnetic iron ores of- fine qual-
ity, immense quantities of which. are now
transported down‘toptidc water, theh up the
Hudson River, where it meets th'e7e6al for
smelling. Much of the iron is then trans-
ported back to England. AT] of this is’ at;-
teuded with great expense, and it"isibclievcd
could be entirely obviated by ‘theiclill’s‘fruc-
‘tion of a railroad to carry the coal {one ore ‘
and the iron to the market, “10'; making
heavy freights in both directions. The
transportation of cattle that come from the
West over the Erie Railway, and in some
cases are driven East comes the country, it is
expected would .develop into a large and
profitable carrying business. A million and
a half barrels of flour come _to Boston alone
from -lhe West cvcy year,.ahd pork;grain.
and wool, in large quantities, are talso re-
cclved. In every case the present routes of
transportation are long, both in time and
distance, t'liu‘s raising the price of these pro-
ductions. and discouraging the market. At
times, freights from the East to the West,
and from the West to the East, are. delayed
for weeks for .want of transportation, and
the merchants, manufacturers, and traders of
New, England greatly desire that new ave-
- nucs may be opened. it is further claimed
that this road will place Boston practically
as near to the Mississippi as New York is;
and inasmuch as. the former city is one day
nearer to-Europe, it will become one' of the
great shipping ports of the country. ‘ An”:
other source of profit to the Boston, Hart-
ford and Eric will be found in the immense
local business which‘will naturally belong
to it. Every mile of the route has its man-
.Besides that, the
oonuections with the Worcester, Providence
New London Northern, Harlem and Dutch-
ess, and Columbia Railroads cannot fail to.
contribute to its prosperity, and ‘furuish it.
with a large business in the carrying of ms
sengers and freight. The section of 26 miles
between Mechanicsville and Willimantic is
contracted to becompleted by the lat of June
1809. Between Putnam sud-Mechanicsville,
somewhat less _ than two miles, more than
100 men fire at work, and the grading of that
portion is nearly finished. By this the large
manufacturing town I of Putnam will be
greatly benefited, inasmuch as it will have a
direct outlet for business. At my point a
heavy bridge, requiring about 6,000 perch of
stone, is to be built, and active preparations
are being made to construct it in the coming
Spring. 0n theline from Putnam to Willi-
mantic about 1,000 men are employed, and
as the season advances many more will be
engaged. 0n the completion of this section
of the road and the N cw Haven, Middletown
and Willimanlic, elsewhere noticed in this
article, the great through line from New York
to Boston will be finished, and will probably
secure most of the passenger business be-
tWeeu those cities. It will also give direct
communication between Boston and Water-
bury. ,The othgr unfinished portion of the
road from the last' named point to Fishkill,
77 miles in length, is under contract, the con.
tractors being Messrs. Dillon d: 00., of New
York, men of large experience and respon-
sibility. This Hudson River section, as it is
called, is now being resurveyed ; and, in ad—
dition to that, large numbers of men are at
work at Fisbkill and other points along the
line. ' Judging from these facts, and the de-
sign of the Company to have the road in op-
eration as soon sQossible, it seems probable
that it will be opened before the contracted
time. The following named gentlemen are
the officers: John S. Eidrigde, President; H.
N. Farwcll. Vice-President; H. S. Barry,
Assistant Treasurer ; Robert G. Rankin,
Consulting Engineer; and P. Jarrett, Chief
Engineer.
This new a NEW ENGLAND RAILROAD.
The route of this road will be from Turf
net's, a station on the New York and Eric
Railway, 48 miles from Jersey City, nearly
duegeast to Derby, Connecticut. The Coat-
~.pany was organized under lhb General Rail-
road law of New York, in November, 1867,
and had previously received a charter in Con-
necticut from the Legislature of that State.
When first organized it was in connection
with the Hudson Highland Suspension
Bridge Company, under the title of the Erie,
N. Y. and New England Railroad and Sus-
pension Bridgc Association; but at a meeting
of the Board of Directors, held in January
last, the Association was divided into two
Companies, for the reason that the interests
of the two great projects were different, al-
though reciprocal, and in a measure depen-
dent upon each other. The length of the
road will be 59 1-2 miles, 37 1-2 being in the
State of New York, and 22 in Connecticut;
and the branch from the main road at the
State line to Denbury will be nine miles.—
The track will probably be laid with three
rails, so as to conform with the narrow guage
most generally in use, and also with' the
broad gauge of the New York and Eric and
some of the Western roads, thus rendering
it possible for cars from any part of the Uni-
ted States to pass over it without change.—
The capital stock of the Company is $2,500,-
000, with power to increase it and to issue
bonds. The subscription books have but
just been opened, but large amounts have al.
ready been subscribed, and about $10,000 on
every mileof the route has been guaranteed.
Surveys and estimates werehrade during the
mouths of November and December past;
field parties are now on the ground making
locations and preparing the road for contract,
while land commissioners are taking up the
right of wsy. Work will be energetically
commenced and vigorously prosecuted 'early
in the. Spring, it being the. design of the
Company to complete the road speedily, and
to cross the Hudson by ferry while the sus-
pension bridge is building. The estimated
cost per mile, including road-bed, structures
and everything ready for operation, is $45,-
000. and it will require two years for con-
struction. Some of the particulars of the
route of this road are as follows: Leaving
Turner's it enters the hills of the Dandel-
berg by one of two directions, neither of
which has been decided upon as yet, the fi-
‘n‘aichoice being naturally dependent upon
the advantages to be gained and the expense
.of building. , The topography of the country
here admits of an almost indefinite elonga-
tion of the line, but by either course the road
will pass through a rich mining district to
the bridge or ferry, about three miles above
Rcekskill. After crossing the river the grade
will immediately ascend, in order to over-
come the high plains between the Hudson
River and Harlem roads, and the wor'lr will
therefore be somwhat heavy for the first three
miles. The Harlem Railroad ,will be crossed
at a point near Purdy‘s Station; thence to
the boundary line‘of Connecticuuthe coun-
try ofiers every possible facility for the con-
struction of a railroad; in fact, calculations
made heretofore show that the cost of this
portionof the road will notexcecd $15,000
for grading, masonry and bridges. , ’Beiween
Turner's. and the’Harlcm Railroad there will
be much excavation in rock; thence to the
State liue little more. than a mere ditch or
embankment will be necessary to form the
, valry with the Erie and New England-Rail-
' of importance and no tunnels.
State of New York $50,000 the mile is be-
lieved to be is fair and sufficient estimate, and-
this will include sidiugs. From the Hudson
River to .the State line the road will pass
through a desirable agricultural district.—
Within the State of Connecticut the country,“
.both on the direct line to Derby and the
branch to Danbuiy, is as favorable for rail-
road building as any region east of the
prairies. It will be seen that with the com
pletion of the Highland Suspension Bridge,
land the Midland,'Brauchville, N.'Y..Hous‘a-
tonic d; Nortnern, New Haven, Derby and
N. H. Middletown a Willimantic Railroads,
[this route must be one of vast importance
iind must do an immense business. It will
be built and furnished in the best manner,
and mum an air-line from Turner’s, and
thereby from the whole West and Southwest
to New Haven and Boston, and a desirable
and short route to Hartford and New Eng-
land. The result of this will be that it will
secure a large share of the passenger trafiic
between the Eastern and Western States.—
The same reasons will apply with equal or
greater force to the carriage of freight; all
the coal consumed in the southern part of
Connecticut, and e t of here, amounting
annually to more th ,000,0001uus, that is
transported by rail, must necessarily pass
over the Eric and New England Railroad.
Derby will be' placed practically as near as
Elizabethporf, one of tliegreat coal shipping
ports of New J ersey. to the great coal regions
'of Pennsylvania; The ability to run the cars
‘of'Wide guage roads over this line" will also
prove a great advantage and source of reve-
nue to the company. In addition to these
advantages this road will pass thrOugh n por-
tion of Conneticut which is teeming with in-
dustry and manufacture, and Will open for
improvement and development a section. of
ricli agriculturalfcountry abounding in water-
power, as yet greatly unoccupied—therelore,
it must have a large and profitable local bus-
;jness in itself, sufficient IO sustain the enter
piise. A compahy has just been organised
10 construct a railroad to run from the- line
of the Erie and New England, iit Peekskill,
northward, to connect with the Boston, Hart-
ford and Erie, and Dutchess and Columbia
roads, at Fishkill, a distance of 13 miles._—
The connection at that point with the Dutch-
ess audColumbia, now being built, will fwn
a direct communication between the western
portion of Massachusetts and the coal mines
of Pennsylvania, by way of the Suspension
Bridge or ferry and the Erie and New Eng-
land to Turners. Surveying parties have re
ported the' route as much more favorable
than Would be expected from the fact of its
passing between the Hudson River and Her-
lem roads, and on the 15th ult. funds were
appropriated for a preliminary survey, which
will be undertaken immediately. Follow-
ing are the names of the officers of the Erie
and New England Railroad: The Hon. N.
P.- Stanton, President; Solomon Dingee,
Vice-President; James H. Jenkins, Secrets
ry; A. W. Shepard, Treasurer; Gen. E. W.
Serrel, Chief Engineer.
THE NEW CANAAN nsrbnoan.
This road, scarcely perceptible on the map
owing to its shortness, will run from Stam-
ford, Conn., on thelinc of the New York and
New-Haven Railroad northward t o the vil-
[age of New-Canaan. It was chartered by the
Legislature of the State of Connecticut du-
ring the May session of 1806. The franchise
gives the Company the ordinary privileges to
construct and use a railroad from New Ca-
naan to tide water. The capital is fixed at
$200,000, in 4,000 shares of $50 each. All of
this has been subscribed by people along the
route and others who design building Sum-
mer residences in that pleasant portion of the
country. Among the letter stockholders
may be mentioned Dr. Parker of the Board
of Health, and Prof. St. John. The length
of the road is eight miles; the gauge will be
the usual narrow one. The road is very easy
of construction, and there will be no bridges
Workmen
are now engaged at Stamford in erecting the
depot, which is.situated on the corner of Elm
and Park-ate. The “Union" cars have been
ordered, and are being constructed. The
grading is completed, except a very small
portion near the New York and New Haven
Railroad track, and this will be done in a
very short time, as a force of men is constant
ly and vigorously at work. The materials,
rails, bolts, ties, &.c., are contracted for; and
300 fans of iron are to be delivered on or be-
fore tlie 20th of this month; the remainder
when required and ordered. This will be
soon, for the road-bed will be ready for the
iron very shortly, and it is confidently ex-
pected that the track will all be laid and in
.rnnning order before the lst of April next.
The cost of the road completed and equipped
it is believed, will not exceed $180,000. The
Company intend to pay for everything as
they go; the road will not be built as a spec-
ulation, but as a convenience, and the stock
holders are competent to construct and run
it, even if it does not pay any dividend. But
having in view the example of the Warwick
branch of » the Erie Railway, 3 short road of
ten miles, through a much less favorable re-
gion, it cannot be possible but that thc New
Canaan Railroad will prove a profitable un-
dertaking. The line as located 'runs from
New Canaan through the corner of the town-
ship of British to Stamford, but if found de-
sirable can be extended one mile south to the
steamboat landing at Pine Island. With the
exception of about one mile and _a half along
the track of the New Haven Railroad the
route is nearly north and south. The whole
country passed through is remarkable for
beauty, richness, and salubrity. The village
of New Canaan is one of considerable age
and of Revolutionary note; some of the
houses are 150 years old, and have sheltered
men whose names new live in story. The
land is well cultivated and very fertile, and
when this railroad is in operation will. with-
out doubt be devoted chiefly _to the raising of
produce for consumption in this city. The
village of New Canaan, as well as the entire
line of the road, will ofier great inducements
for city residents to build country seats.
Fever and ague is unknown, and musketoes
are never seen; in Summer there is always a
fresh breeze, and from the village Long Is.
land Sound can be seen for 70 miles. This
railroad will opened to communication by
steam with the outer world people‘ who have
been entirely out ed, and will give an oppor-
tunity for the development of an enterprising
town. It has been ascertained that New
Canaan alone has paid $24,000 annually for

Thii railroad was organized under the
General Railroad act of, 1850, and all the re
quire-meme of the law in the matter of sub
scripfion and cash payments hnv‘ing been
made, the articles of association wereduiy
filed in the oflce of the Secretary of State on
the 0th of October. 1803. The amount ofthe
capital stockis $1,000,000, in 10,000 shares of
$100 each, and up to this time about two-
thirds of the whole sum has been subscribed
Chlf‘fly by peoplcrosiiliiig along the proposed
route, although, in addition to Ilieui. some
capitalists haw. a moneyed interest in the

Railroad i330 3-4 miles, and the: gauge .will
be the usual one of 4 feet 8 1-2 inches. The
route, as located, is as follows: It leaves the
line of the Harlem Railroad a little south of
White Plains, runs northward, passing
through, or in the‘ immediate vicinity of,
Purchase, at Rye Lake, North? Castle. Bed-
ford, and Cross River, thence through North
Salem, Ridgeburry, the borough 'of Danbnry
and finally reaches the northern terminus,
Brookfield, which-issifualed .on the line :of
the Housatonic Railroad. It should perhaps
entirely distinct from the .Housatonic Rail-
road which runsfom Bridgeport; a station
northward, 110 miles, to Pittsfield, Mass,
where it connects with the Pittsfield and
North Adams and Hudson and Boston Rail-
roads. According to the report of the engi'
D8913. Mr. Avery, the topography of the coun-
try traversed by this line is very favorable
for the construction of a railroad, '20 per cent
of the I oute being a straight line,the maxi-
mum grade only 00 feet, and the minimnm
curvature 1,146 feet radius. Of the principal
obstacles to be overcome the following m'oy
be, enumerated: About three miles from
tunnel or a deep earth and rock cutting; the
grade thence to the'Statc line of Connecticut
is 60 feet; the line then passes across the cor-
ner of the town of Greenwich into New York
again and reaches Bruudsge’s Summit where
an earth and rock cutting of 33 feet maxi-
mum will bc. required; the route thence to
the village of Bedford has easy grades; but
.after passing through the village there will
be an earth cutting of 45 feet at Palmer's
Summit; 2 1-2 miles north a gravel cutting
will be necessary averaging 20 feet in depth
for 2,000 feet; from that point _to' the Con-
necticut line again the road is a very easy
one, with the; exception of a cutting of 20
feet in depth half a mile west of Lake Wac-
cabue, ' 0n reentering Connecticnt there will
benonie heavy work, but the route, coutidy
ered in all things, is a comparatively sissy
one. The estimates of thelcost of the road'
have been made from the following data:
Maximum grade, 00 feet; minimum curve,
1,140 feet; earth excavation, :20 feet; rock
excavation, 16 feet; embankment. 14 feet.
and all materials, engines, cars, and fixtures
to be of the first'cla‘ss. From these premises
it is calculated that the total cost of the road
in running order will he. $1,500,000, at an
average of about $40,000 a mile. In the bu-
sine'ss estimates it is computed that from
passengers the yearly receipts will be $1.59,»
000; from general , freights'. $105.000 ; find
from the milk frieght, $211,000, These fig.
ures would allow at least 10 per cent ',for
dividends. But there is alsoi‘to. be taken; in-
to account the additional business which
would pass from the Housatonic Railroad
over this 'road t) and from New Yerk.
This, it is eslimatcd, would be equal to one-
third of the regular way business of the
road, and would make the annual earnings
12 to 14 per cent of the cost ; and yet in ad-
dition must be calculated thebusiness which
would be received from the Boston, Hartford
and Eric, which, though .the data are hot
definite.-wouldbe very considerable in the
course ofa year. Of the various advantages
of this road to travelers, shippers, and peo-
ple resident upon its line, the saving in dis-
tance, and consequently in time, is first tobe
noticed. It is claimed that the New York,
Housatonic and Northern Railroad and con-
uections will save over all other roads exist-
ing, from New York to Danbury, 10 miles,
to Piltsfield, 53 miles; to, Montreal, C._E.,
23 miles. Next to the gain in time is the in-
crease in tin value of property on each side
of the route of the road when it shall be
completed and opened for the public use—
bnsed upon past experience. This increase
in value is estimated at more than $1,000,000
A further advantage arising from the con-
struction of this road is'the amount saved in
cash to passengers and freight between Dan-
bury, Brook-field, and the Housatonic Rail-
road aud New York City ; this is, estima-
ted tobemore than $150,000 annually. In
regard to the nature of the couhtry which
will be opened by' this road it can be safely
presumed that thousands of the citizens of
New York have but a faint idea of the pleas-
ant lakes, strcams, beautiful scenery, and un-
rivaled sites for Summer residences, notwith-
standing its nearness. W they become
aware of the great superiorit of this section
of Westchester County, numerous country
seats will be built. new villages 'will spring
up, and old ones that have remained station-~
ary without improvement for nearly a cen-
tury will acquire new life and growth. These
villages will not only furnish a large passen-
get business, but, of necesity, a large amount
of general freight. Some of the places have
already manufactures of considerable impor-
tance, as Daubury and Bethe], where the
batting interest predominates, while others
produce shoes, paper, flour, &c. But with-
out doubt the most profitable local freight
will be milk. Of the great amount of milk
consumed in New York the largest propor-
tiomomes from Westchester, Putnam, and
Dutchevs Counties; but other sections of the
country are being opened by new railroads
—such'as the Walkill Valley Railroad, no-
ticed in another column-for the production
of this commodity. In the present case the
rich grazing lands lying on either sidcof the
New York, Housetouic, and Northern Rail-
road nre unsurpassed by none others in the
State for their adaptability to dairy purposes.
Considered as freight, milk, as is well known
is among the best buying of any freight trans-
ported by the railroads entering New York,
and as an element in the value of these rail-
roads one which adds greatly to their intrin-
sic worth. It is confidently expected that
this road will open to the milk producing
business a strip of country from four to ten
miles wide and more than 30 miles long. A
glance at the map will show the advantages
to passengers from New York to Hartford
and Boston in going over this road. The
importance of its connections with the Erie
and New England, and Boston, Hartford and
Eric Railroads can rendilybe understood by
all persons who have ever been So unfortu-
nate as to be obliged to make a roundabout
journey of 50 miles to reach a point not more
that ball that distance away in a straight line.
The link from Danbury to‘Brookfield, five
miles in length, connecting the Housatonic
Railroad with the Danbury and Norwalk '
Railroad, is completed and running. and of
the remainder the grading is begun ; s. force
of men are at work near Rye Lake, and at
that point a steam excavator is also in ope-
ration. However, tbe weather has been ob-
favorable and the progress has not been as
great as Would otherwise have been the case;
but it is intended early in the Spring to em
ploy a large force of laborers and to push i In
construction of the road as energetically
as possible. All the grading and other woili
on the road bed is under contract. Tin:

The city of-New Haven has acted upon this
privilege and voted‘the sum of $200,000 for
stock in the road. At a meeting of the di-
rectors, held reccntly, it was stated that but
$65,000 more would be required to put the
road in running order, and a resolution au-
thorizing the issue of bonds to the necessary
amount, was passed by a large majority, so
that it is-pgobflble] the road will be publicly
Opene'd at an early date. . The capital stock
is $1,000,000, all or "which, by this action of

.Aside from the facilities for travel and trans-

Cosrbr Piranha—We all know how Julius
Ciesargwlien he was in love with the mother
of’Marcus Brutus, gave her a pearl worth
nearly a quarter of a million of our money;
and how Mark Anthony drank one, dissolv-
ed in vinegar, which cost nearly $400,000;
while Clodins, the gluttou, swallowed one
worth $40,000. The example of Cleopatra
found an imitator (even in later England.
Sir Thomas Gresham, not otherwise famous
for acts of folly, still soniistook the meaning
of loyalty that be grounds pearl. which had
cost him £15,000, into a cup of wine in order
thus filly to drink the health of his great
queen. ' l’l‘bia plagiarist again had many ri-
vals in the mad courtiers of Louis XIV., who
in their insane extravagance, were wont to
pulverizc their’dlamonds, and occasionally
used the powder to dry the ink of letters
which they sent to their beloved ones. Is
diamond powder in the hair much worse ?
The largest pearl on record is probably one
bought by that most romantic of all travelers
and dealers in precious gems, Tsvernier, at
Came, in Arabia, where a pearl-fishery ex-
isted already in the days of Pliny. I; is said
-ior the pearl is unknown to our-'da'y—fo
have been pear shaped, perfect in all respects
and nearly three inches long; _ He obtained
from the Shah of Persia the enormous sum
of'£lll,000 for the gem. " ’
Mr. Hope's pearl, which is looked upon as
the finest known,is two inches long and four
inches round. It weighs 1,800 grains, and
like hll such rarities, is of such enormous and
uncertain value that no one would buy it at
a market price. The most bgntiful collec-
tion of pearls belongs, however, to the Dow-
ager Empress of Russia. Her husband was
exceedingly fond of her, and as he shared,
with other fancies, also that for fine pearls
with her, he sought for them all over the
world. They had to fulfill two conditions
rarely to be met with: they must be perfect
spheres, and they must be virginfpearis; for
he wonld buy none that had been worn by
others. After twenty-five years’ search, he
at last succeeded in presenting his empress
with a necklace such-as the world has never
seen before.
/As this admiration for fine pearls has been
the common weakness of man in all ages and
in all countries, we need not woudenat their
playing a prominentpart in religious wri.
tings. The Talmud been pretty story, teach-
ing as that those who believed in it esteemed
but one object in nature of higher value thanr
pearls. When Abraham approached Egypt
the book tells us, be locked Sara in a chest,
that none might behold her dangerous beau-
ty. But when he was come to the place of
paying custom, the oficer said, “Pay cus-
tom l" And he said, “I will pay the custom."
They said to him, “Then carriest clothes.”
And he said “I will pay for clothes." Then
the, said to him: “Then carriest gold.” And
he answered them: “I will pay for golds"
On this they further said: “Surely thou been
est the fine silk." He replied: “I will pay
custom for the finest silk." Then they said:
“Surely it must be pearls that thou takest
with thee.” And he only answered: “I will
pay for pearls." Seeing that they could
name nothing of value for which the patri-
arch was not willing to pay custom, they
said: “It cannot be but then open the box
and let us see what is within 1" So they
opened the box, and the whole land of Esypt
was illumed by the lustre of Sara’s beauty—
i‘ar exceeding even that of pearls!
Heuce‘pearls are repeatedly used in Holy
Writ also for the most solemn comparisons,
and to denote the highest degree of perfection
In the] Old Testament wisdom is praised as
above pearls, and in the New Testament the
kingdom of heaven is compared to‘a pearl of
great price, which, when a merchant had
found it he went and sold all that he had,
and bought it. Even the New Jerusalem
was revealed to St. John under the figure of
an edifice with twelve doors, each of which
