THE TIMES, NEW 13L00MFIELI), PA., AUGUST 21, 1877.
Cost of Transportation before the Railroad.
That there wan need for uew method of
Intercommunication, the Increasing popu
lation made overy day more apparent. In
1784 the ooat of transportation from Phila
delphia to Erie Is stated to have heen 349
a ton, the method being by pack-horsos
principally, whioh were driven In liuos of
ten or twelve, each horse being tied to the
tall of the one preceding, so that the train
was under the manageinoiit of , a single
driver. Each horse carried a pack weigh
ing about 200 pounds. In 1780 the first
saw-mill in Ohio was built by tho New
England Ohio Company, about sixteen
miles from Marietta, on AVolf Creek, about
a mile above Its junction with the Muskin
gum. The crank for this mill was mado
In New Haven, Connecticut, and weighed
180 youuds. It was carried by pack-horses
over thff.mountains to the Youghiogheny
River, at fUmrel's Ferry, and thence ship
ped by water to Marietta. This same
year the first wagon-load of goods Is said
to have been transported, by the southern
route, through Virginia, from ITagerBtown,
Marylitud, to Brownsville, Pennsylvania,
whence, by the Monongahola, water com
munication was had with the Ohio River.
A train of four horses could take a ton
from Ilagerstown and return in a little
less than a moutb, the distance being 140
miles, nt a charge of three dollars a hundred-weight,
or sixty dollars a ton.
The operations on tho lakes during the
war of 1812 called attention again to the
cost of transportation, and in 1813 the
IIouso directed the Secretaries of War
and of the Treasury to report at tho next
session a list of the internal Improvements
in progress, aud plans for aiding them by
Appropriations. In tho discussion upon
this motion It was stated that the expense
(or the transportation of each barrel of
rflour to Detroit was not less than sixty
-dollars, while for every pound of amuni
tion aud other material it waB not less than
Jlfty cents.
A Lesson of the Strike.
One of the lessons of tire recent strike
is to show to the whole country that labor
in the large towns and cities is over stock
ed. Let the boys and girls, the young men
aud the young women remain iu the
country, patiently and thankfully. Let
them disabuse their minds of the false
notions they have formed of city life aud
look at facts.
A young man employed on a farm has
to work hard. He would have to work
harder in nearly any occupation in the
city. He has to work iu the hot sun aud
in the rain and snow, it may be. In the
-city he would work in the dirty, smoky
atmosphere of some manufactory, or would
tie exposed to just as incloment weather as
on the farm. A farm band getting $1S
per month and hiB board is making more
money than bo would in the city at f 10
per month. Aud yet, while farm hands
are scarce, laborers in the city are ever
abundant, and clamoring for work iu every
department of business.
In addition to this influx from rural dis
tricts, cities receive the larger Bhare of
immigrants from other countrios. The
poorer classes cluster in squalid localities
where there is little comfort and little to
do, when outside of the cities are broad
farms where there is much comfort and
much to do, or new lands inviting them
to the possibilities of ownership. While
' every department of labor in the cities is
overstocked, thousands of acres of public
lands await owners and occupants.
People have perversely looked in one
direction for employment. They must
adopt a different rule, and look in all
directions. They have expected to Dud
employment where laborers are most abun
dant ; they should look for it where laborers
are scarcest.
Soldiers' Pay.
What pay does the militia get ?" was a
query that caused inquiry into the matter,
Searching the military code was found sec
tion 137, which reads as follows:
" The militia, while in active service,
shall bo paid by the Adjutant Goneral on
pay-rolls prepared agreeably to such forms
as he may direct on warrants drawn on the
treasurer of the Commonwealth by the
Governor, the same pay and regulations as
the regular troops of the United States,
and the rations shall be valuod at thirty
cents each, and every non-oommissioned
officer aud private who providos himself
with a uniform and blanket when called in
to the service shall receive in addition to
his stated pay ten dollars. When the mili
tia are discharged tbey shall be allowed
pay and rations to their respective homes.
If any officer or mate is wounded or other
wise disabled, or is killed, or dies of wounds
received while doing military duty in active
service, he, hia widow or children, shall re
ceive from the commonwealth just and rea
sonable relief."
tST At Buenos Ayres on the 8th of June
as a venerable monk, Brother Antonio, was
saying mass at the cathedral of Ban Fran
cisco he was shot in the throat by a Russian
named Michael Kulazo and very severely
wounded. Tho would be assassin said he
did not know his victim, but had suffered
acutely from clerical persecutions and so
allied forth to kill the first priest that bo
should meet. He is not insane.

"To Kansas City.Mo.," he replied. "Have
you a ticket? If so let me see it." said
the other fellow. The passenger promptly
handed the ticket over to the business-like

turned and hurried off. It was but a few
minutes afterward when the traveler dls-,
covered that a common piece of paper had
been returned to him.

frightened the horses, and they turned
short around, upset the wagon, and dashed
away. The rattling of the barrels in turn
terrified the elephants, and they stampeded
in the other direction. The sun was pretty
high, and the drivers tt both ends of the
bridge were very warm before the passage
was effected.
