A Wonderful Age.

Undor tho above heading the
Pottsvillo (Pa.) Miners Journal
notices tho model of n now rail-
road and machinery by which it
is claimed that trip can be mado
from Liverpool via Now York to
oan francisco in six days-count-
ing tho timo from Now York to
San Francisco in two and a-half
days! Wo arc prepared in this
ago Of progress for almost any i'm
provcmont Or invention, and aro
consequently not surprised at tho
credulity Of tho Journal, which
says:
Wo wcro shown yesterday tho
model ofa now railroad and ma
chlncry invented by II. n. Wilder,
Esq, for which he has mado ND.
plication for n patent, by which
the trip can bo made from Now
York to San Francisco in sixty
hours, including moderate stop
pages at tho principal points, with
much moro safety than on tho
present road. Thoro will be four
rails laid down instead of two for
q single track, and will be laid in
such manner that the road can
DO used in various ways. We arc
not at'libcrty at present to givo
the full particulars, but this much
wo can say, that tho passenger
and freight cars can bc built scv-
cntecn feet wide; that they can DO
run ut tho rato Of sixty miles an
hour, with double, if not treble,
tho safety over running tho pros.
ent cars at forty miles an hour
That a double engine of sixty
tons will take 1000 passengers in
n single train, with less wear and
tear to tho roadway, than is now
caused by n thirty-fivo-ton engine.
Tho expenses of building such n
road will be about $4,000 n mile
more than building ono Of the
present singlc-traclt roads, Which
for 5000 miles, from New York to
San Francisco, would be an extra
oNpenso of only s24, 1000, 900. A
single passenger, merchandise, or
baggage car, capable Of carrying
double the number Of passengers
and double tho quantity of NOR
chandisc, will weigh at least five
tons less than any two Of tho cars
now in nsc. The capacity of tho
road, single track, will be nearly,
if not quito, three times rs great
as that of tho present single lines.
There will be no oscillating movo-
mont III tho cars when running at
high ratio Of speed, and it is al.
most impossible fora car TO bo over
turned in case Of an accident. On
such n road, with passenger cars
seventeen feet wide, they can be
fitted up with stato-rooms, &C.,
and with nearly all tho comforts
that can bo obtained in q first-class
hotel.
Should tho project also be car
ried out Of extending u railroad
from Now York to the most re-
mote point in Newfoundland, and
establish q line of steamers to
cross tho ocean in threo days from
that point-which can be done, as
tho distance is only 1900 miles
tho distance from Liverpool to
Now York can be made in six
days ; and, add two and half
moro days to San Francisco, the
whole route can bo travelled in
about nino days, q distance Of up
wards Of 5000 miles. Is not this
q wonderful age?

that he had sold nothing, only be-

Whereupon tho black dignitary
told him to prove that, but while

$50 by way Of bail. The drummer
handed over the money, went out
and brought in three or four NOR
