The Republic.- This magazine for
March contains an extraordinary
amount of valuable and instructive
matter.
The most important articles are: "The
Expenditures of tho Government for
the Past Year," and "The Growth of
the Country and its Lessons," either of
which is, to the political student, the
statesman, and the philanthropist, worth
more than the Annual Subscription
price of the Magazine.
The Platform of the Grangos, The
Postal Telegraph, Letter of Secretary
Delano on Indian Affairs, Postage on
Publio Documents, The Railroads, and
numerous other articles add greatly to
the value and inteiest of the publica
tion. The Appendix contains the instruc
tive Speech of Gen'l James A. Garfield
on Government Expenditures, which
should be read by every citizen, and
also the able Speeches ot Hon. S. W.

Inter 8T on a Bankrupt's Ao
counts. Proceedings in bankruptcy
have so increased of late that important
points are daily coming up for decision
One important inquiry is, where a bank
rupt's estate leaves a surplus over and
above the debts proved against it, are
the creditors entitled to interest up to
the date of payment? This point was
years ago submitted to the courts, which
decided that "such interest is allowable
and should be paid up to the date of
the payment of such claims respectively
There is cothiog in the bankruptcy act
that would teem to prohibit such pay
mrnt when there are sufficient funds in
the hands of the assignee to do so.''
This is said also to be the tule of the
English law.

Wo have received speoimen pages of
the above entitled work from the Na

phia, who want agents to canvass for
subscribers to this valuable book. We
append a short extract from the speci
men pages:
Few thiops have been no remarkable
in the wonderful growth of the Ameri
can Republic as the increase and expan
sion of its railway system. A compara
tively young man finds no difficulty in
remembering the time when the only
means of coaimnnication between the
various part3 of the Union were the
canal boat and the stage coach. Half a
century has witnessed the wonderful
growth of the American railways. It
has also witnessed tho gradual change
of the system, which was designed to be
a lasting benefit to the Republic, into
one of the greatest dangers which now
threaten its cxistance.
We propose to trace in these pages
the growth of the railway system of the
country, and to present to the reader a
statement of its present condition, in
order that be may the better appreciate
the grave danger with which this im
mense system threatens the land.
It was not until 1826 that capitalists
became satisfied of the value ot the
railway as a means of communication
between distaut points. The first road
of this kind in America was a mere
tramway for the transportation of
granite from the quarries at Quincy to
the Neponsett River, in Massachusetts.
The total length of the road was about
three miles. It termiuated at the quar
ries in s self-acting inclined plane. It
was built upon granite sleepers, seven
and a halt feet long, laid eight feet
apart. The rails were laid five feet
apart, were of pine, a foot deep, and
coveted with an oak plate, and this with
flat bars tit iron. The cars were drawn
by horses.

beguD, and completed in May of that
year, irom toe coal mines, at Mauch
Chunk, Pennsylvania, to the Lehigh
River, a distance of nine miles. "From
the summit within half a mile of the
mines the descent to the river was 982
feet, of which 225 feet were included
in a self-acting plane, and twenty five
feet more in a sbute by whioh the coal
was discharged into the boats. The re
mainder was iu a oontinual descending
grade, down which the loaded wagons
ran by gravity, ono of them being ap
propriated to the mules by wbioh the
empty wagons were drawn baok. The
rails were of timber, laid on wooden
sleepers and strapped with flat iron."

,- Fruit Prospects. The fruit pros
pects, so far as the life of the fruit buds
is concerned, seem very good this season;
but Mr. Manning, who ia the chairman
of the Fruit Committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Sooiety, and one
of the most intelligent fruit culturists in
the Uaion, has well shown in the last
Massachusetts report that mere winter
temperature plays but a minor part in
the annual fruit show. Of course, when
it kills the buds on the btanohes there is
an end of fruit for that season; but after
it lets the buds get through, it merely
gives them into the hands of other
natural forces, which take their turn in
obstructing productiveness.
It is no uncommon thing to have
peach and apple orchards pcrfeot sheets
of bloom, and yet hardly a fruit follow.
All we can say at present of fruit pros
peots is that the buds have not been
killed, and this, so far, is in favor of
good fiuit crops.
