THE WEATHER-Rain is needed i'll this

more. We are fearful, however, that
the approach of the desired change in
the elements will also bring with it an

spirit of Winter Thus it is
"When the weather is dry, it is rain we require;

THE HENPFIELD RAILROAD.-Ihet m
nd States Railroad and Mining Register
COPIES ono of our articles on the subjecr
of completing the Hempfeld Railroad,
(which article, by the way, is credited
to the PittsSurg Chronicle and makes the
following comments:
The whole length of the Hempheld
Railroad Is 20 miles, from the PennSy wa
MIA Railroad at GreensbuIg to Wheeling
The road is in operation from wheeling
east to Washington, distance OF 81
miles. of which seventeen miles are IN
PENNSYLVANIA and fifteen in West Virgin
in The unfinished line crosses MOnon-
gahela river l9 miles east of Washing
ton, and the Youghiegheny 9 miles far
Their east. or % miles from Washington.
and l6 miles west of Grcensburg.
What it may cost to finish the road,
will of course DEPEND upon the depth Of
the thOrough-Cuts and the character of
the two river bridges between Washing.
ton and Greensburg. With high grades
and ordinary mechanical structures, the
line need not cost exceeding fifty per
cent of the sum named in the above
extract; after the road shall have been
opened, its grades may be reduced and
its structures improved, as was done on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey, now
one of the most permanent and produc-
tive roads in the country.
Therositjvc certainty that there will
be one and perhaps two east and west
roads between GreenSbUTgand the Mary
land State line, assures the Ilempheid
Railroad an eastern connection at Wash
ingtou aud as Greensburg is almost on
the same latitude as Washington, and as
the Pennsylvania Railroad is the line
with which it is the Interest of Wheel

Raihoad-the proper eastern terminus OF
the Hempheld Railroad is GreensbUrg
and no other place.
Since we first mentioned the subject
there has been a growing feeling of in
terest on the subject of completing this
road The McConnelsyille road,will be
sold today, and as soon as that sale is
made the stockholders of the Hemp6eld
road will assemble to consult as to what
will be done with that road. From pres

rne sDeeo Of rniIroads.

The Great Western Express to Exeter,
England, travels at the rste of forty-three
miles an hour, including stoppages, or htty-
nine miles sn hour notwithstanding stop
psges. To attain this rate, s speed OF sixty
miles an hour is adopted midway between
the stations, and in certain Experimental
trips, seventy miles an hour nave been
reached. A speed of seventy miles
per hour is about equivalent to
thirty yards per second, or thirty-fve
yards between two bssts Of q COM
mon clock. All objects near the eye of q
passenger travelling at this rate will Psss
b wis sye in the thirty fifth part of sec
ond and if thirty five stakes were erected
at the side of the road, a yard ssunder,
they would not be distinguishsble one
from another; if painted red, they would
appear collectively as q continuous flash
of red color. I
If two trains with this speed passed each
other, the relative velocity would be seven
ty yards per second and if one of the
trains we're seventy yar5s long it would
pass BY in q sin gle second. Surprising the
locomotive which draws such q train to
have driving wheels seven feet in diane
ter, these wheels will revolve three times
in q s~econd-but as thereare two cylinders,
which act alternately, there are really
twenty pufs or escapes of steam in q
second. The locomotives csl' be heard
to "cough" when moving slowly, the
cough being occssioDed by the abrupt
emission of waste steam up the chimney
but twenty coughs per second cannot be
separated by the ear, their Individuality
becoming lost. Such 8 locomotive speed is
equal to nearly one-fourth Of a cannon
ball; and the momentum Of 8 whole train
moving at such a speed would be nearly
equivalent to the aggregate force of q
number of cannon balls equal TO one.fourth
of the weight of the trsin.-ETchGngs.

The people of OHIO will today learn
with surprise that Governor Brough has
declined to be a candidate for reelection.
HIS card, Masking this announcement, will
be found elsewhere, and is characterized
by q msnly dignity and sincerity that must
command the respect of his enemies, and
that will by no means lessen the regrets of
his friends st his retirement from public
life. The sentiments that animate him
are of the most honorable character. He
was prompted 10 leave the field both by his
personal feeling and his sense of public
duty. It was not apprehension Of defeat
that caused his retirement, for the
fact has within a fortnight become
plain to every politician in the State,
that, if he insisted upon it, he could have
the nomination of the Union State Con-
v~ention, which assemblies on Wednesday
next and that nomination Is considered
the equivalent of election. It may be Just
ly said for Governor Brough, that he did
not solicit the call to the Executive Ohsil
of the State two years sgo but accepted
it reluctantly; that he has filed it ably
and with advantage to the State and thai
he retires gracefully, when be might have
continued in office, welcoming the coIvic-
tion that his retirement would not iDjuri-
ously affect the public service, and might
heal d~issensions in the political orgsniza
tion to which he was sttached.-Cineinnat

Travelled Americans, and some stay. at

and fashionable courtezAns, peculiar to the
West End of London, who appear in the
rides and drives, and are recognized by all
the men but none of their W sex. che
was mistress to the Nepsu:ese Embssssd II,
and there we're wild rumors about the splen-
dor in which she lived, rumors that she
would return with him TO India to become
one of his wives, ct ceters. Well, she is
now married to q Mr.. T~histlewaite and
breaches on Sundays. l heard her 8 'Ort-
night ago st the Polytechnic Lecture Room,
when the room was crowded 80 as toscsrce-
" afford standing room, by "swells" and
fashionable ladies. She is 3 tall, elegant
woman, with beautiful eyes, and was dres-
sed in rich black silk-bonhet to match.
she was accompanied on the platform by
several ladies and gentlemen, and when,
selecting q tax from. the book Of Samuel,
she began to speak from it, n could not
but at least acknowledge the charm of her
perfectly pronounced English. Tney say
that, falling sick in Paris, she was abandon
ed by all her companions, visited by an
English minister and converted, since which
time she has devoted herself to this. He1
husband is the second son OF 8 good family,
whose father d~isinherited him for marrying
her, which deprivation of fortune was sub
sequently set right by the will of a younger
brother, who fell in the Orimss. Mr.

suit-indeed pays the hire of the halls il
which she presches. She is evidently in 6

The Hartford Post of Wednesday says /:
rLsst evening, at ten minutes past seven,
Mr.. Fay's torpedo exploded under the raft
which was butt for the purpose of testing
its explosive powers. The torpedo was
charged with one hundred and fifty pounds
of guupowder, and the explosion was
grand in its eff3ct, though the report was
not so loud as many anticipated. 1t sent
up q volume of water to q height of be-
tween eighty and ninety feet and
of proportionste circumference. Fol-
lowing the water came q dense
mass Of steam, smoke and fame the
whole forming q magnificent sight and
well repsying the disappointment of the
spectators on Thursdsy last The raft was
utterly demolished, being blown into frs2-
ments, which were quickly picked up by 8
SQUAD of email boats which were waiting
for the chance. This invention of Mr..
Fsy's will eventually prove of wonderful
importance, IS the clockwork of the ma
chine, which it is designed to manufacture,
combined with the shell containing the
powder, can be adjusted to explode st any
time, from one minute to n month. The
explosion was witnessed BY q large crowd
of spectators, who cheered loudly M the
