A One Rail Railway.

A one-rail railway has been in suo-
cessful operation between Raney and
Montfermeil, near Paris, for two years.
The locomotive for one-raIl road has
four wheels, two being placed, one at
the front and one at the rear of the en-
CINE, bearing on the rail These give
the direction and are double-fanged.
The other pair of wheels are placed In a
traverse plane passing on a line in front
or the fire-box. They run on oak plank
of macadamized road, as the case may
be, and are the driving wheels. This
sort of railway can be built in
France for about $1,000 per mile.
The locomotives weigh six and ten
tons the former runs fourteen miles
an hour, drawing, besides its own
weight, thirty-fve tons up a grade of
two feet in hundred the latter will
draw fifty tons at a rate of eighteen
miles an hour up the same grade; on a
level it would draw one hundred and
eighty tons. This system is the inven-
ton of nj. Larmania, French civil
engineer, and many believed that it
may be successfully used on turnpike
roads, with the grades and curves which
the common highway usually has.

Miss Rye.
From the Toronto Globe, june 10.


From letter received by last mail,
we are glad to learn that Miss Rye in
tended to leave for Canada by the Prus-
STA, which sailed yesterday from Liver
pool, and that she brings along with
her a hundred little girls, and thirty
others, we presume female adult SER
wants. She expects that the British
Government will be induced to lend heI
some assistance in her enterprise foI
the good of orphan little girls; and SC
pleased is the Board of Poor Law
Guardians for St Georges Hanover
square, with the accounts received from
some of the little ones in their new
Canadian homes, that they have had
letters printed and distributed by hun
dreds among the different parishes of the
metropolis. We are also glad to learn
in the emigration of orphan girls under
Miss Rye's auspices is greatly extend
ing-an instance which may be cited in
the fact that one gentleman, wealthy
London merchant, originally from Cum
berland, has offered to bear half the ex-
pence of every child that the guardians
of his native parish in Cumberland will
put under Miss Rye's care. 1t is liter
ally the fact that too many of such a
class, if wisely and judiciously select
ed, cannot be sent to this country.
The dearth of female servants in Can
ada at this moment is very much great
er than it was when Miss Rye first di-
rected her attention to the matter with
which her name is now so much associ
ated. 1t is very evident that bringing
adult females across the Atlantic is be-
set with difficulties, and open to Objec-
tions from which the present undertak-
ing of Miss Rye is entirely free. She
willnot easily supply the demand let heI
do her best.

Time Goes by Turns.

Not endless night. nor yet eternal day;
The saddest bird a season finds TO singi
The toughest storm a calm may soon allay.
Thus with succeeding terms, God temperate all,
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fan.
A chance may win that by misehance was lost;

In things all, in all things none, are crossed
Few all they need, but none have all they wish

The Hon. Joe Medill's Louisiana PIanta-
fiou
From the New York Sun.


The Hon. Joseph Medill, of Chicago,
seems to be emulous of the southern
popularity of the Farmer of Chappaqua.
He has bought at sherif's sale, under
foreclosure, the old Rochelle plantation
on bayou TecL e, in the parish of St.
Mary's, in Louisiana. The place is five
miles above Brashear City, and con
tains 1,500, of which about 1000 are
cleared. The buildings and machinery
are in bad order, as the estate has not
been regularly worked since the war.
1t formerly produced about 600 hogs
heads of sugar, with force of some
100 field hands. One of the finest or
ange groves in Louisiana, containing
about 1,500 trees, is on the place, but
it is not in so good order as formerly.
Excellent bananas are also produced
there. The grounds about the resi-
dence are exceedingly beautiful, about
% acres III extent, shaded with mag
nificent live oaks. The house is low
wooden one with piazzas on all sides.
Mr.. Medill paid about $4,000 for the
estate, paying $1,000 down. 1t is a
very cheap property, and there is no
doubt his already great wealth will be
continually increased.

Near his betrOthed flower expands his wing
Wake lovely rose, awake, and hear thy poet sing!
The night is past wake, Queen OF every flower.

The pearls Of morning are thy wedding dover,

That streaks the floating clouds with the young
