THE RAILROAD SYSTEM or THE U. STATES. The Cincinnati Chronicle has liF of the finished Railroads in the United States which extend over nearly five thousand miles. In 1885 there were but 984 miles of Railroad conp 'leed in the country, which leaves 3, ,76s miles made since than year. The average cost is put down at $20, 900 per mile, mak ing sho capital invested $75, ,56O, ,00U 2

 At present the income of the finished roads nearly equals the annual expenditure in capital; that the extension of Railroads is now in great degree paId for by the goods transported the existing roads,.

 It is also true that the transportation of freight costs less; SO that the cost of making Railroads now IS in

 fact paid for by the savings produced by the Raul roads. Some of the different roads, afler receiving two additional links, will form gigantic lines of iron steam communication. u..

 l. For example, the great route from Portland to Bsffalo will receive two important additions, one al the eastern extremity prolongng II Bangor, and the other at the western, uaiting Buffalo by means of Mad River and Little Miami Railroad, 10 the Ohio, when steam car may run from Bangor (Me.) to Cincinnati (Ohio) )in coafnuons Railroad one housand miles in erfea! This supposes that the projected Railroad from Buffalo to Sandusky is made.

 When the New-York and New-Hayen, and the Baltimore Railroads are, 10 the Oh,o completed. only need link from the Ohio in the Little Miami Railroad to make another grand route of eiepsn han dred mules from Bangor to Cincinnati. by ths great ral route. Two thirds of this whole route are now competed SO that the completion of the other third is no longer a chimerical idea. or the remaining thrd the capital is already hand for the greater part The Dart for which effort is necessary is that from the Ohio River to the Little Miami Rail- road. But, when the Baltimore Railroad reaches the Ohio river, there will be want of capital to complete the remaining link. elf Nt4
