He was a grizzled, amehatimental: | looking and hard-faced old man, shab- bily dressed and evidently one who had seen better days and worse nights.

What the Annual Reports Show Concern- Ing One Ginnt Corporat ‘The annual reports of the gr road corporations in the United States are interesting documents Whoever reads them will not fail to be impressed with the vast wealth power of these corporations. ‘The annual report of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Co. for the year ended June 30, 1801, shows that that corpor- ation is now operating two thousand three hundred and twenty miles of road rail- and in New York and Pennsylvania. Its income from its freight trattic was over twenty-one millions of dollars, from its passenger traflic nearly twelve mil- lion: nd its to income was a trifle less than thirty-eight millions. Its ex- penses were less than twenty- mil- lions of dollars, le ng over twelve millions to pay its dividends, the in- terest on its bonded debtand other ont- lays) The total number of its em- ployes is twenty-five thousand eight hundred and ten, whose salaries and wages for the year amounted to nearly fifteen millions of dol Here is one railroad corporation that employs more men than the United States government employed in civil offices during President Jackson's ad- ministration, and whose income and expenditures exceed those of any ad- ministration (except that part of Madi- son’s administration including the war of 1812) prior to the Mexican war. It is estimated that the aggregate volume of business transacted by all the rail- roadsin the United States exceeds in tonnage, in receipts and in expendi- tures that of any government on the face of the earth. The private enter- prise in this country, which is exhibited not only by the railroads, but also by the telegraphs and the newspapers, is, in fact, beginning to dwarf the execu- tive achievements of the most renowned despotisms of the old world—N. Y. Ledger. Cloth Bodices. In bodices there is much variation asever. Those for evening are made very low cut, while the extremely long sleeves are still favored. Cloth bodices will remain quite long, but rarely with haunches or fulled-on pieces, the lower edge being slashed, turreted, or in rounding points. A popular novelty in the way of a bodice is given in an illustration. It is suited to plain or fancy cloth, and is trimmed with braid. It is tight-fitting, and is fastened in- visibly up the front, while the back is in swallow-tail coat shape. All the seams are finished with braiding. The coat sleeves are raised high on the shoulders, and the collar band is in military shape.—Frank Leslie's Week- ly. What Algeria Costs France.
