EARLY HISTORY OF oADs-At the fifth
annual convention oil the American society of
civil engineers, j. d. Steel Of Coatsville, Pa,
read paper on early History of Railroads and
the Origin Of the Gauge" The paper was full
of interest and elected the undivided attention
ofthe members. The author narrate dthe grad.
ual progress OF the rail from the first wooden
track to the perfect steel rail of the present day
Steam was employed first in England, in 1874
in which year it was proved that the adhesion
of the wheels to the rails was sufficient 10 move
lOadt train without the use OF cogs or station
airy engines. In 1916, Stephenson applied the
motion directly from the piston to the wheels,
and few years later train of thrty-eight
wagons loaded with freight and passengers was
drawn at the rate Of twelve miles per hour In
1927, the first road was built in the United
States-the Quincy road, with a gauge Of
three feet About the same time the Mauch
Chunk road was constructed, which was a gray
ity railroad, extending distance of nine miles.
In 1928 the Baltimore and Ohio road was COM
menced with gauge Of four and half feet,
aud with outside fianges for the wheels In 1929
the Booklet tubular engine, was built in Eng
land for the London and Manchester railroad.
and about the same time it was settled in Eng
land that there was less friction in having the
Ranges on the outside Of the wheels A great
many experiments were tried with gauges Of
varying width, until at last, as a compromise,
the present gauge of -four feet eight and a half
inches was adopted. In 1880 the first American
engine was built by Peter Cooper, and ran from
Baltimore to EllicotPs Mills, carrying twenty-
three passengers, at a rate of Ave to eighteen
miles an hour.

There must be something wrong with Mr..
Herman, the democratic candidate for governor
of New York. The New York Tribune, demo-
cratic organ, has reports of two meetings in
Cortland county, on Thursday, at both of which
Governor Hoffman and Mr.. Herman made
speeches. Full abstracts are given of both OF
Hofman's speeches, but not word of Kernan's
is suffered to appear in the Tribune. OF his re-
marks at the first place only this is said; "Mr.
Herman made an able speech" and in the report
of the second meeting we are informed that
Governor Hoffman was followed by the Hon.
Francis Herman, who held the whole audience
until late hour with his clear and incisive
| arguments" This is hardly fair to Mr.. Herman
or the public. He, if anybody, is the coming
man of the democracy in New York, and, so far
| as democratic speeches have any interest, the
people are interested to know what he has to
say for himself and his parry and how he says
it; to put them off with Hoffnan's familiar
rhetoric is not what they nave a right to ex-
pect. Mr.. Kernan's speech the editor of the
tribune probably thought to be unpleasant or
impolitic, and he therefore suppressed it. Yet
"the Tribune is not an organ"
If General Grant had interfered in South
Carolina politics in favor of either of the state
tickets. we should, without doubt, have been
entertained with a general howl from the Gree
ley organs about the enormity of thus prosttut-
ing federal influence and patronage to control
the internal affairs of a state. We have heard
such explosions of wrath at such alleged provo
cation, but this time there was no pretext for
asserting that the president interiered in the
| slightest degree with the exercise of their own
discretion by the people of South Carolina in
the choice of their state officers. This, so
far as it goes, ought to be satisfactory
to the Greeley party, which processes
to cherish with special care the doctrine
that states should be in all respects independent
of federal control in their local affairs, and to
regard Capitalization with special adherence.
Yet a New York Greeley organ actually up,
braids the president for not preventing the elec-
ton of Moses 'No effort was made" it says,
"no risks incurred to rescue the state from her
spoilers by the simple eXpedient of welding the
influence and patronage of the federal executive
against them. Had General Grant not been
candidate for reelection, we believe this would
have been otherwise" Consistency and Gree
leyism are rreconciIable.

The Empress Josephine was very fond of per.
fumes, and above all of musk. Her dressing.
room in Malmaison was filled with it, in spite Of
Napoleons frequent remoustrauces. Forty
years have elapsed since her death, and the pres
ent owner of Malmaison has had the wall of that
dressing-room repeatedly washed and painted :
but neither scrubbing, aquaiortis nor paint has
been sufficient TO remove the smell of the good
empress musk, which continues as If the bottle
moved.

Richmond junction.

We had not visited this point for several
months, until recently; and were astouislicd
to find that it presented such busy scene.
The time Of our visit was at the hour when
the morning trains arrive. Far to the north
east, around the beautiful curve formed by the
railroad and the north line Of hills, the Rich
mond train came in sight, putting and flying
US though il was trying to out run the wind.
To the south of this track, Logan'- creek, now
flush with it, wintry food of water, ran on to
it, destination at Dix river. We looked for
full two miles southwark, and saw, at the
same moment, the Mt. Vernon train dashing
along at full speed, with full laden coal
train in hot pursuit. At the "round house."
there were several other locomotives, under a
full head Of steam, which had just landed their
long line Of cars laden with lumber, coal &c;
which were being transferred, or in railroad
language, "made up" for their proper dcstina-
ton. Entering the telegraph Office, We found
Mr.. Mcneil, the agent and operator, busy as
usual, making up dispatches, &c. Soon, the
trains were of, and seeming Quiet prevailed.
We have often thought what a fine location
this is for a town. We doubt not thatif Stan
ford were located at this point, it would double
in population in a very short time. Her pres
cnt location is a miserable and uninviting one
on this account, more than any other, she has
been kept down in her growth.
