This road was completed from Omaha 305 miles west on the 1st of January, 18ti7, and is ruuy equipped, ana trains are regularly tunning over it. The Company has now oa hand sufficient Iron, ties, etc., to finish the remaining portion to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, 312 miles, which Is under contract to be done September lst'of this year; and It is ex pect eu mat me enure road win u m x mining order from Omaha to its western connection with the Central Pacific, now beine rapidly built eastward from Sacra-. memo, cal., during isu. . , , ;. ' Means of the Company. :' Estimating the distance to be built by the Union faciflc to be 15 miles, the United states Government Issues its Six per-jbent.-Ttdrtj -Year Bonds to- the- Company an the" road's finished, t, the average rate of about 8 8.250 per mile, amounting to 44,2O8,O0. Tne company is aiso permiiieu lo issue Its own First Mortgage Bonds to an equal special Act 01 t ongress, ate made a First Mortgage on tne entire line, we douus 01 the tfnited Stales being subordinate to them. The Government mates a donation 01 12,800 acres of land to the mile, amounting o 3),0x;,UA acre, ottimawa to De worm J;,0U0.0OOt making the total resources, exclusive of the capital, tt. 8.416,000; but the run value ot tne lands cannot now oe real ized. The autho. ized Capital Stock of the Com pany Is one hundred million do'lars, ot which -fere mtilions have already ceen ipalu in. and of-which H is notf supposed mat more man iweniy-nve . minions ai most win be required. l ne cost 01 tne roaa is esiimaten Dy com petent engineers to be about one hundred million dollars, exclusive of equipment. - - ' ' Prospects for Business. ' '- The railroad connection between Omaha and the Kxsf is now complete, and the earning of the Union Pacific on the sec tions already nnisnea ior tne nrsi iwo weeks tn- May wre 8113,000. These setlonal earnings as the road progresses will in uen more tha i pay the Interest on the Company's bonds, and the through business over the only line of railroad between tne Atlantic and Pacific must be immense. Value and Security of t7? Bonds. - The Company respectfully submit, that ids aoove statement oi tacts luuyaemoustrates the security or their Bona; and as additional proof, ihey would suggest that tne boikh now otrerea are less man ten mllliou dollars on 517 miles of road, on which wentv miili n dollars have al ready been expended. On 0 miles of this rood tlie cars are now running, and the re mains; 1ST miiesAre nearly completed. At the present rate t premium on goia these bonds p.y an annual interest on the present cost oi v 2sine per Cent., and It Is believed that on the completion of the'road, like the Govern-meut Bonds, mey win go fttive par. tne company in tend to sell but a iimitea amount at tne present low rate, and retain the right to advance the price at their option. subscriptions will be received in isew xork by tne . . . v CONTINEN'TAI.IXATIONAI, HANK, - No. -7 Nassau Sireet; CIjArk, Dodoi & Co., Bankers, 51 Wall Street; John J.

HUMOROUS.

Sidney Smith being ill, his physician advised him to "take t a little gentle exercise on an empty stomach." Upon whose?", said he. Why is the country winter like the Black Crook? Because there are so many bare limbs id be seen. . An old bachelor says the most diffi cult part of Burgery is to take the jaw out or a woman. 'He who pokes his nose everywhere will sometimes poke it between a thumb and forefinger. . ' Greeley says the man who pays more for shop rent than advertising, don't know his business. ' In Missouri the laws allow married women to make wills ot their , own. They have them ready made here. An Irishman beinar asked in court for his certificate of marriage, showed a big scar on his head, about the shape of a shovel, which was satis 'actory.: At an agricultural . dinner the folowid toast was given : '4The came of fortune. , Shuffle the cards as you will, spades must wiu." . ' A man in Main was recently asked to subscribe for a chandelier for the church. . V Now." said he " what's the use of a chandelier? After you get it. you can't get any i one to play An exchange says:- In one of-our Sunday Schools,; recently, a' careless youngster while reading a Scripture lesson, came to a passage:- And Aaron made atonement for the sins of the people." In his haste he read it a3 follows : And Aaron made an ointment for the shins of the people." " Why do you show favor to your enemies instead of-destroying them?" said a chieftain to Sigismund. " Do 1 not destroy my enemies by making them'my friends?" was the -Emperor's noble reply. Represent me 1 in my portait. said a gentlemin to his painter, "with a book in ; my hand, reading aloud. rami my servant, aiso, in a corner where he cannot be seen, but in-such a manner that he may hear me when 1 call him. A good story is told of a rustic youth and a lively, buxom country girl, who sat facing each other at a husking party. The- youth, smitten with the charms ot the beautiful maiden, only ventured a sly look, and now and then touching Patty's foot under the table. Ihe girl, deter mined to make the youth express what he appeared so warmly to feel, bore with these advances awhile in silence, when she cried out, "Look here! if you love me, why aon t you say so; but don t dirty my stockings. The Yankee Pedler. There is a sheriff residing in Illinois, who was taken iu and done for on one occa sion, lie made it a prominent part of his business to ferret out and punish peddlers for traveling through the State without a license, but one morn ing he met bis match m the person of a genuine xankee peddler. VV hat have you got to sell any thing?" asked the eheriff. '.: ' xaas, sartm; whatd yewantr Got razors, first, that's an article you need. squire. I should say. by the- look of your baird. Uot good blacia ; twill make them old boots ot yourn shine so't you can shave' in 'em e'amosU Balm ot Uolumby, too, only a dollar a bottle; good for the haar, and assistin poor human natur, as the poet says. And so he rattled on. At length the shenn bouzbt a bottle ot the balm of Columbia, and in reply to the question whether he wanted anything else, that functionary said he did be wanted to see the Yankee's license for peddling in Illinois, that beiug his duly as sheriff. -, The Yank showed him a document fixed up good and strong, .in black aud white. The sheriff loooked at it and pronounced it all right. Then handing back the bottle to the ped dler, he said : , . - , "I don't think now that I've bought this stuff, I snail ever want it. 1 reckou 1 might as well sell it back to you. W hat will you give for it? J, the darn stutt is no use to me, butseein' it's you,' sheriff, 'I'll give you twenty-five cents for it if you really don't want it. '1 t: j ' The sheriff handed over the bottle at the large' discount from his own purchase, and received his change. " Now, ' said the peddlerJ " I've got a question to ask you. , Have you got any peddlers licenses about your trowsers anywhere? " s - v No; I harn't any use for the arti cle myseit, replied the sheriff. "Hain't, eh? Wal, I guess we'l see about that poorty soon. Ef I nn derstand the law, it is a clear case that you have been tradin with me hawk in' and peddlin' balm of Columby on the highway i n inform on you darn d it 1 don t now! The Yankee was as good as his word. When he reached the next village he made his complaint, and the sheriff was fined eight dollars for selling without a license. He was heard afterwards to say that you might as well try to hold greased eel asa live Yankee. If there is anything in our language that puzzles a Frenchman, it is he different significations of the same word. The perplexities of a perse vermg JUonsieur arising troni our word ast, are , more; numerous than one would , suppose, as. tor instance " Zia horse, sair, he go queek, what you sayr " Yes, he is aaaf horse."

"Ah! pardon, Monsieur, but your riend say he mate fast his horse, and

he tie him to post, so he no go at all." Very true, he is made fast by be ing tied.'' ' Ah. zat caunot be: he cannot go fast;. but what you call a man zat keeps fast . . - : ' Oh. he is a trood man who does not eat on, fast days." ;".'(.,, . - Bat 1. have seen, one- bon vivant. who eat and drink and- ride, and do every sing. ; Ze people say he is bad, a bad man he is very fast." '.(..' a i ue, tuat i; uaueu : iiyiuk ai.aai ife." . ,., ... . 'Ah. certaioment: zen all ze days of his life must be fast days." tJertainiy they are. ,! ' Eh bien ! Does he eat every day? (' " Certainly he does." .; : . -' " Zen how can he keep fast?''; -, , " Whyhe keeps going, to be sure." "Mais, tenez! You tell me to stand fast when you want me to- keep still, and go fast when you want me to run. lour fast is too fast for me. CLOCKS. 'It: 0 0 c O ' Cl4 a 2. S" a ts d W .:i - a ' . C3..I o .
