can be given him, and we sincerely hope
that Savannah will do for him and bis road
what wo have done, to-wit: Help him re

most rapid progress of his enterprise. We
hope, by his earnest and energetic efforts,

territory that will pour our mineral wealth
into her hands and enrich her stores and
make Iter jieople happy. There is un
told mineral wealth in our hills, aud we
appreciate inexpressibly the efforts of Muj.

has been placed in him by our people, and
we are thoroughly con vinced that with any
thing like a showing from the people along the
line of his road and its respective termini
he will build through at an early day. So

Progress of Track Laying.
During the past six in niths track laying
him been going on in 37 of the 47 States and
Territories, on bill lines, with the result of
adding 3,574 miles of main line track to our

ing of new construction than that for the
txirrexpomliiig period in any previous year
except ing 188(2, w hen nearly .'>,(100 miles were
laid during the llrst six months and 11,.MC1
in the year. The nearest approach to this
was in ISSI, when about 3..VH) miles were re
ported in the first si x months out of 9,79(4 for

tli" first half only 1,755 miles, while tins
work of the year was about 8,500 miles.

constructed up the aid" of Mount, I’ilatus,
the imposin'; Alpine spur that lifts it- lofty
head from the shore of Luke Lucerne, in
Switzerland, a still more wonderful rail
way. This I .old enterprise required the
heaviest gradients ever yet employed in
railway '•onstruetion, in some parts equal
in.; 1 in '.'.IS, or no less than 3,548 fis't to the

What the Wave3 Said.
From Washington Litter to Vie Baltimore
American.
The following story on Second Assistant
Postmaster General Knott is too good to bo
lost, and Mr. Knott himself is too keen a
humorist to be wanting in appreciation of
it. As is well known, Mr. Knott aspires to
be Governor of Maryland, of which laud
able ambition he makes no secret. Some
time ago ho went to Atlantic City for
several days, and one evening, when the
tide was low—“so tho story runs”—he took
a walk along the seashore. Yielding to the
irresistible influence of his surroundings, he
gave himself up to the sentimental part of
his nature, ana as he looked out upon the
ocean ami then upon the waves that broke
musically at lii.s feet, he thoughtfully
paused and traced some letters in the sand.
A gentleman who sat upon the porch of one
of the hotels came along after him and read
the inscription. It was:
“What are the wild waves saying?” He,
too, paused a moment, and when Mr. Knott
returned that way he saw immediately
under his words the following strange in
scription:
“No G Konfortovenrort..”
Ho looked at it carefully for some time, as
if endeavoring to decipher the unknown
characters. Tiu-n he stepped closer and put
on his gla-ses. Being still unable to make
them out, he readjusted his glasses, and,
taking out a pencil and paper, lie carefully
transcribed each letter and returned to the
hotel. Tin’ llrst man he saw was the gentle
man who had passed along the brack behind
him. Handing him the paper, he said:
“Hera’s a strange inscription l found
upon the bench a while ago. What do you
think of it?”
The gentleman g)ane<-d at. it a moment
and replied: “Oh, some little child scratch
ed it in the sand, I guess. But give it to
me. and I will wv it mere is anything in it.”
The paper and pencil were accordingly
handed over, while Mr. Knott seated him
self and waited for the result. After some
moments it was handed back to him, and
by a transposition. of the letters rend ns
follows: “No Knott lor Governor!” An
inspoction of the hotel register afterwards
revealed that the only other Mhrylsnder
prasent was a well known Treasury official.
Mr. Knot t says the story is not true.
The Height of Economy,

“There’s one thing 1 want to ask you,
Mary,” said n kind parent the other day to
his daughter, and it is this: Is Freddie in
clined to be economical/ If he is not it is
bet ter for you to break your engagement at,
once.” "Economical, father/" replied the
blushing young maiden ns she wound a pair
of long sinewy arms about her dear papa's
neck, "1 should say he was. Why the llrst.
thing he does every night when he’calls is
to turn down the gas real low, because, be
says, the monopolists charge such an out
rageous price for it.” And stv* looked up
Into her father's face with such an innocent
