The system, which in 1840 was confined to the United States and a few countries of Europe, is now spread to all quarters of the globe. Between 1840 and 1850 there were 19,200 miles of railroad built in Europe and America. In the oecade following Asia, Africa and Australia witnessed the advent of the iron horse, and the total increase in railroad mileage in the world in that decade was 43,200 miles. Between IS6O and 1870 there were added 63,200 more miles, and in the last decade the increase was 102,000, nicl. 13 .lie world’s total railroad mil eage at the close of 1880 amount to 232,691 miles. To this 16,891 miles were added in 1881, of which the United Stetes alone contributed 11 ,- 141 miles. Of the 249,590 miles of railroad at the close of 1881, North and South America rre credited with 12 2,186 nvles jEurope, 108,002 miles, As> >, 10,774 m'lcs; Australia and ad jacent islands, 5,4s 1 miles; Africa, 3,147 miles. The United States led a'l other countries many fold, it hav ing at that i'me 104,831 itv'ea of completed road. The second count ry n e...cnt ol ra oads is Germany, which has 21,416 miles. Great Britain comes next, with iS,2Bt miles; Erancencxt, with 17,112 miles. Russia has 14,799 miles, The Uni ted Stales at the close ot ISBI had within 4,000 mites as much rai' oad as all ol Europe. Whiskoy. Atlnuui lVil-Appeut- Walking clown the street the other night with an Englishman, a drunken roan passed us and staggered into a saloon. “Hold on a moment!” ex claimed our companion and he, too, plunged into the s. loon. In a few seconds he reappeared. “It is as I thought," he said with emotion, “the man you saw enter that saloon was ten years ago a member of the Brit ish Parliament. He had brilliant prospects, but politics and liquor ruined him. I met him a few years ago in New York, and 1 saw then that he was rapidly going down hill The poor fellow is now nearly at the end ot his c. eer.” The incident is suggesdve. Thousands of wrecks n this cou-nry may attribute their con dit'on to polices and whiskey.

A marked man—The fellow who sits down on a newly painted stool. A south-end man calls his wife Crystal because she is always on the watch. You might as well try to tell the amount of money in a safe by feel ing the knobs as to tell what is in a man’s head by feeling his bumps. A fresh young clergyman of the west describes the “United States as a country bounded on the north by an icebcig and on tire south by a ba nana.” First boy—“l say, Jimmy, there's no water. It’s frozen everywhere.” Second boy—“ Bully !

If this movement should become gen eral, the south would soon be the ‘’moneyed” end of the country. “No, sir,” said the man, “you needn’t tell me a woman had ever had her dress pocket picked.

A New York bride will receive among her presents an order for twenty /tons of coal. The practical minded donor probably forgot that she would have a husband to warm her cold on. A swell New Yorker has a curiou s fmg' r-ring with the ten command ments engraved on it in such small characters that they can only be read with the aid of a microscope. Peo ple who know him well are of the opin ion diat he has lost his microscope. Going away? they asked tho mail who was closing the slmiters of hia house and pulling down tho cur lairs.
