Americans should remember that
Vienna is to have worlds talr IN
1873. At the Paris exhibition OF
1867 nearly everything sent from
this country took prize, and there
is no reason why the same thing
should not be repeated at Vienna in
1873. The exhibition will undoubt-
edly b. the largest that has ever yet
been seen. The park set apart for
tho exhibition contains four times
as many square yards as has ever
been similarly occupied, and the
principal building alone will have a
length of 1850 feet. The committee
having the matter in charge wlPh to
have : full display Of the raw mate,
rails and manufactured articles OF
each nation, with statistical intor-
nation in reference to the amount
produced and the trade therein.
Special efforts viii be made to
have the art collections as complete
as possible, and it is proposed to
have A loan collection from all the
German museums, similar to the
celebrated one at Kenslngton. An
other speciality will be a collector
of articles used by different nation'
in their domestic affairs, kitchen
utensils, furniture, dress, ornamen

Marrow Gauge Railroads.
tFrom the Philadelphia Age.l

From the Philadelphia Age.l
Much has been said lately about
the practiCability of narrow gauge
railroads. The first road Of this des-
cription opened in this country for
passenger travel and freight is the
"Denver and Rio Grande," run
ming between Denver and Colorado
City, a distance of 76 miles. 1t is
declared o complete success. 1t has
q three foot track, the rails weighing
only 80 pounds to the yard, and the
maximum curvature six degrees to
the 100 feet, the maximum grade
being rs feet to the mile. The pas
senger engines weigh twelve tons,
and cost only 1880, and the freight
engines fifteen tons, costing $500.
The cost per mile Of building, as
equipped, is $14,5OO, which, on ac-
count OF high transportation, charg-
es on material from the east, is
greater than the cost of o similar
road would be in this part Of the
country. The estimated cash cost
of such q line here is from $4,000
$4,000 per mile. An excursion
| was made over the road on its COM
pletion, between the points mention
ed, and the riding was easy and
comfortable, at fifteen to thirty
miles an hour. The cars are neces
sarily smaller than those used OF
ordinary tracks, being thirty-fvt
feet long and seven feet in outside
width; having double seats on ont
side, and single seats on the other
and accomm odating "a passengers

The POINTS OF THE CoMPAss.-An
interesting paper was recently read,
at the last meeting Of the American
Oriental Society, on the relation OF
the Chinese and Mongolian langua.
ges. and valuable inferencSs were
drawn from the fact that the Classi-
fcation Of the points Of the compas'
was originally the same in !Chinese,
Thibetan and Mongoian. In these
languages the south is always mem
toned before the north, and in an
cient Chinese and Mongolian, the
west before the east. In Mongo-
Ilian the word south means "in
'front.'" north means behind" west
means ito the right, "and east means
ito the left" In Chinese, the charac-
ter which stands for north, lis compoS-
ed Of two men turned back to back,
! and originally meant to turn the
back upon" In the Chinese compass
the index is placed on the south point
ofthe needle. In the ancient classics
!, instances have been found where the
9 word fright" was used for west;
d Among other nations the points o.
Q the compass are sometimes named
d upon the same principle, but another
4 point than the south is usually as-
% sumed to be in front. Thus in He.
Is brew the words ''before," "behind'
/ fright" and ''left" are used, but the
d last is in front. The Hawaiians from

The Wages Of Royalty.

The Gar of Russia has the most
profitable berth, his wages averaging
R25,OOO per day, or S64 times Is
much as President Grant receives.
The Sultan Of Turkey struggles along
with 918,OOO per day. How he can
do it with his huge family, and the
inevitably enormous dry goods bills,
it is not easy to understand. Louis
Napoleon last September lost
place that paid him G14,0OO per
day; but he has been prudent, and
has saved up something handsome
which will keep him comfortable in
his old age. What the pay Of the
Emperor William Of Germany may
be be We don't know, but a. King
of Prussia he was paid only the
small sum Of GS,210 per day. Vic
tor Emanuel, Of Italy; enjoys An in-
come of about 100000. Queen
Victoria is 0 good manager and re-
ceivss about G2,0O0,OOO per year.
The Prince Of Wales finds G625,OOO
unequal to his expenses. Some
time ago a man named Needy left
Queen Victoria 1,750,80O, and
Prince Albert left her $4,000, 600.
In contrast to these magnificent
figures it may be interesting to
know that the average income Of
nine millions of people in England
and Wales is less than two shiling'
per day; eighteen million live on :
. shilling per day. There are lOI
D Englishmen who return incomes o
over $250,000 per year, and 1871
: who return 5000 to 10000.
