Atabout this period railroads began to attract attention,and a few short lines were constructed from Baltimore west, from Boston to Lowell, and from Sartoga to Schenectady., The track were of flat bar iron upon lengthwise wooden timbers, and the entire equip- ment most imperfect, However, this heginning of a great material revolu- tion soon attracted the attention of in- gevious, inventive men, who studicd the defeets of these early constructions and devised numberless improvements for increasing speed and for greater safety to life and limb.

Now, in El Paso it is the mule that stops. You generally call & man a car driver, but in that flourishing town he can only drive with the consent and ap- proval of the mule, and the mule is particalar. A friend of mine took a ride on one of those machines. I two minutes there was astop and a sud- den dull thud. This awakened his curi- osity. When it happened for about the twentieth time he got up to see what it was. He found the driv looking clear ouer the side of the car in front, getting us far away as possible from vhere the mule was vainly trying to the dashboard to pieces, “What's the matter?” “That’s all right. Go back and sit down. He'll be through in a minute.” ‘When the man wanted the car to stop the mule insisted upon going on. The driver jumped over the front, ran back and put on the brake behind. The mule was astonished for a minute and lel fly a vigorous kick at the dashboard. Thony finding that he really was ex- pected to stop, he looked arounc pleased and waited till he was ordered on again, when he went on kicking at the dashboard every few fect as he moved aloug.

Our spring goods are already on the way, and we must make room for them. We have not the space to carry over a heavy stock of winter goods as is done by most clothiers.
