This is reduction of the original estimate
for track Of S4,495 per mile, or q saving Of
AZ per cent.
By reference to table it appears that when
the ears of the two systems are loaded to
their full capacity, the wide gauge passenger
car carries $50 pounds dead load per passen-
ger, and the narrow gauge csr but 353 pounds;
that the wide freight car carries 1900 pounds
of dead weight to ton of freight, and the
narrow but 100 pounds.
The break Of connections, with all the in
conveuiencas attending the changing Of pas
sengers, miscellaneous freigh:s, &c., at ter
miual points, are literally and disinteres:edly
discussed, and the argument we think is in
favor Of the narrow gauge, inasmuch as the
5arec feet gauge will meet prospective re-
qnirenents at cost Of Sc ,00O, ,00O additional
cop;tal, and working expense of only 50!
instead of 10 per cent Of the gross receipts.
Here are the conclusions which have been
reached 10 the commercial OF financial pros
poets of the road:
"To complete the road, and furnish it with
rolling stock, will require, for the feet
eauge, in cash:
For grading. track, depots, and
engineering. Sc, 100000

The Narrow Gauge.

We have received from Mr.. James ?. Low,
Chief Engineer of the Blue Riige R. E., an
interesting and instructive report to the
President and Board Of Directors upon the
positive merits of the narrow gauge system.
The narrow gauges vary from two to four
feet, but three feet, says Dir. Low, is the
measure toward which o. opinion Of quail
fed judges tend.
AS we glance through the copious data, !,
true statement Of facts and clear reasoning
Of the report. the following is deduccd: that
twenty per cent. of the cost Of grading and
bridging Is saved by the diminished size Of
the works; that tile track will cost 42 per
cent less; that, on the mountain divisions,
one half the work Eaay be saved, and the line
greatly reduced in length, say from i47 to
100 miles to build"
Mr.. Low ventures to reduce his estimate Of
November II, 1870, from $500 GOO to ST.
100000. as the probable cost Of completing
the road ready for the rolling stock, and then
invites attention to q comparative estimate
Of the cost Of supplying The road with rolling
stock. The number of locomotives and cars
Is estimated for the traffic assumed in for

The Child VOyagers vVkO Escap@
ed the Fire.

A Port Huron correspondent of the
Detroit Post says:
YCu have already been told the story Of
the little boat load of children, carried from
Rock Fails to Canada, and saved in spite of
storm, and hunger, and exposure. | saw
Mrs. Mann. the mother of these children.
who arrived here yesterday morning on board
the Huron. She had given up all of them
for lost But. mother like. though four were
saved, she mourned deeply for the lost one.
who, half clad and shivering in the cold
water in the bottom of the boat, sailed away
upon an unknown aud measureleSs sea, al
most in sight Of land and delvereDce. There
were five children in that boat belonging to
Mrs. Manpj and four to the owner of the b. t
who took them away, making nine infant
voyagers v ho, for three days. without food
and drenched to the skin, hoated across Lake
Huron in boat which was kept from going
to the bottom by means of an old boot and
shoe, which were the only vessels for bailng
that these unfortunate travellers had on board.
The mothers heart seemed deeply touched
and troubled because no last offices aud lows
ing ministries could, in the nature of the
case. be paid 70 the little one whose voyage
of life was at once so brief and eventful.
When these four children were put on
tug at kincardine, Ontario, to be returned
to their parents, it struck rock Just as it
was getting under way, ana went down.
The children were rescued and sent heme~
ward by the cars. They have at last reached
Port Huron after adventures by field and
food almost equal to OtheiO's. and it is hoped
that they will arrive home without further
accident.
The experiences Of children during these
disas' s'rous days, are worthy Of special essay,
if one had time to write it. Oue is curious
to know how much they have felt. seen and
realized, Of the danger and the hardship !;
whether it made such an Impression on those
between two and FIVE years. for example, that
they will always remember it. On the whole
they have been best cared for, for maternal
love Of the appeals Of their weakness to the
general pity have secured them comfort, shell
ter, care, and food when others have been
denied. The babe of Mrs. Shubert, Of Paris
one of the Polish settlers, was carried from
its burpiug home by its grandmother while
its mother STAYED behind to fight the fire.
The grandmother was compelled to lie down
in a roadside ditch with 20 others, where
they passed the night, ii being the only re-
fuge from the flames The infant was only
three months old and required nourishtnent.
Luck lily the fire had driven a COW to seek
company and shelter with these human be-
ings A big tin pan was found in wagon
and the animal was MIXED. The baby's
aunt took the mushy compound which the
flying sand. cinders, and ashes mar7e Of the
milk, into her mouth, and fed the child IN
that original manner.

couple who arrived here day or two
ago from California. The lady, who
is the daughter of wealthy San
Francisco merchant, secretly mar

whom she had met at public bali.
Soon afterward her father wished
her to marry thriving business man
from New York. She informed him
of her marriage, but said that as
her husband was getting tired of
her. he might be bought off and
facilitate her getting a divorce. The
father consequently negotiated with
the young man, and 500, 900 was
decided upon as the price to be paid.
The divorce was obtained, the money
was handed over. and the father
felicitated himself that the New
Workers. path was clear. The latter
unsuspectingly continued his atten
tlons, showerlng presents of JewelrT
upon her, and the wedding day was
set. Suddenly the young lady dis
appeared. and wrote to her father
that she had remarked her gambling
husband, and had reason to think
they could live for long while on

father concluded to give mp his OPP

habits. He promised, and is now
