The aiinuul report of the railroad commission of Alabama shows that iu that State for the year ended June 30, 1887, there as an increase of 180.01 miles of railroad, of 251.72 miles of steel rail, of $1,347,523,78 of gross receipts, of $51 1,102,80 of gross expenditures, and. of '$760,088 of expenditures, and of '4760.088 of net receipts. The election to decide whether Atlanta will remain an alleged dry city will soon be held. Both sides are hard at work. Meatinersare held very night and the columns of the newspapers are titled with commu nications on the all engrossing ques tion. The vote will undoubtedly be very heavy. Both sides are confi dent of victory. A London newspaper, speaking of the breaking up of the Wild West j show in Londo n, says that B tiff alo Bill has gathered in the "dust-' be yond the wildest dreams of avarice; that since- the Exhibition of 1851 London has never seen a show that so took It by storm, and that the show might have gone on exhibiting in London for the rest of Mr. Cody's naCural life. Mr.- Wharton BarkVw, of Philadel- pina, who is much interested in the that the reports of t he cancellation of the concessions given by the Chinese Government are but repe titions of an old story. He insists that everything is prosperous with i his com oan v, and that the bank will be established. Ex-Assemblyman Smith, of New York city, was not the first man to stud the floor of his nlae of busi ness with silver dol ars. A Chicago barber was the piorieer in this sort of decoration, but li is uo liars soon were so smooth and dull that Strang ers didn't notice thtem, and didn't know what they wjere when they did notice them, and so the barber took them up. and now depends on other novelties to attract customers It is really amusing to see how anxious tne prominent democrats are to be interviewed on the effects of the victory in New York. They are endorsiug Cleveland at a lively rate, and are unanimous in the opin ion that he alone is the man to head the Democratic ticket in 1888. Gov ernor Lee, of Virginia, Speaker Car lisle, Senator Voorhees, Senator Blackburn and Congressman Phe lan, have gone on record as support ers of the President. : Recently an unknown man, who had previously taken a dose of pois on. Jumped from the Arc de Tri ouipbe, in Paris, whieh is almost two hundred feet in height. When half way down a projecting hook caught his trousers and arrested his fall; so that he hung there for a full hour beforev it was possible to rescue him. On being taken to the hospit al it was found that he had sustain ed no injury from his fall, and the strong antidotes applied speedily counteracted the effects of the pois on. Congressman Lee, of Virginia, tMIe in Washington the of her day, sxid: that the Democratic party in Ills State have no objection to the Republicans taking whatever com fort they can get from the fact that at the . recent election their party secured a trifling- majority of the popular Vote. The main issue in the campaign was to overthrow Mahone,' which, he says, was accom- ii ned ;Q gloriOUS Style.
