NARROW GAUGE The American Artisan
publishes an account of the Fes.iniog railway,
built in the mountains of Wales, which is re-
malkable tor the extreme narrowness of its
pauge-only twenty four inches. 1t was con-
structed to enable the coal to be carried ec)no-
mcally from the mines to the place of general
deposit, and an engine called "rhe Little W on-
der" weighing but FIVE tons, and OF peculiar
construction, was built for use upon it. The
road is very circuit5us and iull of wild curves,
and so doubtful was the government Inspector
Of the safety of high rate OF speed on such q
railway that be ipsisted on limiting the COM
pany to maximum speed OF twelve miles an
hour. ltwas soon found, however, that there
was very little oscillation, even less than on
broad gauge roads. aud that it became less as
the speed increased. All restriction was there
lore removed, and the Little Wonder OCCASION
ally makes thirty five miles an hour. Nor is
the business of the line confined to freighliog.
Passenger cara are also run, and on one occa-
sion the Little Wonder has drawn train
weighing l0l tons and quarter Of mile 10
length-so long, in fact, that on some parts OF
the road it had to run on no less than i've re-
verse curves, and it so turned and doubled upon
itself, as it wound among the Welsh hills, that
the passengers in the front carriages could,
while sitting in their seats, make signals to per
sons on other parts OF the train. The average
speed was l2t miles, and the maximum lG!.
The Festinog road answers all the require
ments of the country through which It passes
and pays the best dividends on its capital stock

The city Of Pittsburgh has at last com.
PEELED its City Treasurer 10 deposit his
uuexpended balances Of public money to
the credit Of tho city in such banks and
trust companies as arc deslgpatedby oirdi-
nance of Councils. Asaresult Of the lit
igation, $4sSy 900 Of the city funds arenow
deposited in tle name ot the city, and
draw interestat the rate Of five per cent
per annum. Heretofore the profit arising
from the public funds, it is asserted, went
to. swell the fees OF tho City Treasurer,
and tho dividends Of certain banks in
which the Pittsburgh ring" was inter-
ested. The Pittsburgh papers further
contend that as it has been decided that
the City Treasurer Is, s,morally and legally
liable for anyemolument he may receive,
orhas received for the use of the public
money, steps should at once be taken to
recover all amounts heretofore paid 10 the
City Treasurer by the pet banks prior TO
tho passage OF the ordinance, compelling
the deposit OF the unexpended balances 10
he made in certain trust institutions.
