The Kew York Tribune thus
explains how railroads are built
without capital:
A small share capital ia authorized, and
aft inconsiderable fraction of it paid in—
just enough to defray preliminary expenses
of Organization and influencing the l£gi&-
faiature. The*tJf? gpmt i*rocwiedf;
or towns and counties along the line are
induced to issue bonds for the road, and
-upon these securities the directors proceed
to realize whatever {hey dan. An inflate
Ring, or construction company, is next
' formed to build the road, and aa the di-
rector^ themselves constitute this company
their object, of cciuHit, i> to make the
work cost as much aa possible. The result
ia a road with a bonded debt greatly in
eocottwof Sifefp&tatue* To .pay interest
on this debt the rates of transportation
are raised to an enojjnons figure; the
fiurners and merchantsara ta?ed for .the
fraud of the original projectors of the
road. Sometimes the evil is aggravated
by-'the issue of stock dividends and other
devices lor watering, until it becomes ab-
solutely impossible to tell how much of
the income of a road represents a legiti-
mate retun^for Iho money inverted in it,
aod hovr muoh is a dear swindle.

The Troy Press says that thesito
of the State Street M. E. Church
in that city? was selected through
the instrumentality of a dream.
Dr. John Louden, a
physician, who died upward of
fiffy years ago, was 4 leading
member and worker of the Meth-
odist denomination, and about
the time it was pfOposed to erect
an edifice in the vicinity of State
street, the good doctor dreamed
that he saw a flock of white doves
alight on the lots at the corner of
State and Fifth streets. The im-
pression of the vision was so
vivid that the doctor could not
shake it off. He insisted that it
was a good omen, and that the
church
lots above;
was he in this that he carried his
point, and the old State street
sanctuary was erected to give
way ip due time to thp beautiful
edifice now located on the site of
the old brick structure.
