There is a plan Of warming city rail
road cars during the winter months which
is recommended for its simplicity and eff
feetiveness. It is this Metallic or other
tubes of sufficient size and weight, are fll-
ed with heated sand at the depot, before
the cars start, and are laid into chambers
under the floor seats, being out of the way
and out Of sight. These give q comfortable
amount Of heat during the direct and re-
turn trip, when the sand is again renewed.
The comfort and health Of the passengers,
drivers and conductors are thus SECURED
while on the cars, the pipes or tubes ex-
tending out under the drivers feet and
back to where the conductor takes isposi-
ton. This is not theroetic plan, but is a
working device IN use on the railways in
Northern Germsny, and might easily be
adopted here.

Of the same felt, and by the same process

the Republican says;
"A farmer may make very pleasant

suitable sole; and he may provide 3 suit

Of felt with little wax and resin, or wax

resin inserted between the leaves, to keep
out moisture. osnaburgs, boiled in lin

to make it sufficiently strong to keep the
blackened fabric from de6ling the foot

would make pretty and pleasant pair Of

besides the substitutes already mentioned,
may be made Of old ssddle-skirts, leather

thicknesses Of tough cloth, Of any sort,

The Nashville correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Press, says by referring to NOyd
map there viii be found in the State of
Tennessee, road called the Nashville and
Northwestern railway. This road, how
ever, has never been constructed; but the
iron and sleepers have all been ready for
the engineer for more than two years
The entire road, with the exception of two
miles, has been graded. The insPortRnee
Of Immediately putting this road in
running order, in the present crisis, is in
ealcuIable., The entire length Of the route
from Nashville to the Tennessee river, is
seventy-two miles, extending through an
unfaYorable country for guerrillas, and
crossing but six small streams. The sum
of two millions Of dollars has been spent
upon the enterprise by its projectors, and,
with the aid Of oOntrabands, seventy thou
sand dollars, at most is deemed sufficient
amount to complete the work. Chief En-
gineer Morton believes that the road can
be put in running order in ninety days,
while others would be willing to contract
to finish it in si1ty-fve days for sixty
thousand dollars.

The New York Tribune says that the
President Of the United States lately re-
msrked to a friend that though some Of
the results Of the November elections were
unexpectedly adverse, be would not, as a
whole, reverse them-that he considered
the Emancipation triumph in Missouri Of
more enduring consequences than the Re
publican defeats in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and New York. In this he spoke like a
philosopher, and the sequel will show the
iustiee Of his estimate.
