A California engineer predicts that in
ten years the whole country will be grid
lroned with narrow gauge railroads.
The cost of these roads he estimates at
$1,000 per mile. Passengers can be
transported on them at one cent mile,
and freight at proportionatelv low rates
Ills plan is for farmers to build them by
subscription, for the purpose of convey
Ing their products to market. He also,
claims that they will pay, that wherever
they have been constructed they have
made handsome dividends, which is not
generally the case, at least, with ma
jority of the broad gauge roads. In Swe-
den and Norway these roads are com
ing into general use; the construction
of them is causing demand for Iron
in England. Colorado has one of them
lis miles long. Charters have been
granted for them in several States, and
few lines have been commenced.

An Anecdote of General Grant.

Mr. l.. V. Bierce writes letter to
an Ohio journal in which he tells the
following anecdote of his own ex-
perience in the late war:
While our army lay at City Point,
on the James River, at the mouth of
the Appomattox, in Virginia, my
duties, as Assistant Adutant General
OF United States volunteers, called me
there to consult with General Grant.
One afternoon while walking out with
the General Che being in military
undress, with nothing to Indicate his
rank we passed boy of ten or twelve
years ofage fishing.
'Grant-Bnb, have YOU good luck
to-day?
'Boy-Not very; they don't bite to-
day:
'Grant-You have got few here
won't you give them to meo
The tears started in the little fell
low eyes as he said: Il have had no
breakfast to day, and no dinner, and
If don't sell my fish | shall have
nothing to get me supper
General Grant inquired as to his
history. The boy was native of
Michigan, and his mother was a widow.
TO obtain money to support his
widowed mother he went into the army
as . waiter for u captain of the Michi-
gan troops, whose name | can not
recolIect. The captain was dead, and
he had not friend left,
Grant - Bub, you know where
Grants headquarters are?
'Bov-Yes sir.
-'Grant-Bring your fish up there at
~ o'clock and he will buy them.
'Punctually at the time the boy was
on hand with his string of fish, but
was promptly stopped by the orderly;
IN front of the quarters. Gen. Grant,
overhcaring the order, stepped out,
took the little fellow by the hand, led
nun into bis quarters. and, becoming
satisfied with the truth of his story,
procured for him suit of clothes, a
hat, free pass on the railroads home,
and gave him $50 in money.
Now, Grant may be a bad mani

sPECuLATIONs As TO THE RESULT.

In the special dispatches to the
Missouri Republican Of the 29th inst,
the following speculations are in
dulged in as the result OF the Cincin-
natl Convention
''in the formation of all opinion as
TO the general result, it may be
promised that Judge Davis developes
considerably o strength than had
been counted on by those claiming to
be Best posted. The principal pro-
moters of his interests, Leonard
SWEET, Long John Wentworth and
Ward II. Lamar, the old guard of the
Lincoln convention at Chicago in
1850. Then there are scattered a
small fry OF Labor Reform party who
arc working in the same interest.
Juig" Davis is understood to lave the
backing of a large part Of tie Demo
cratic delegation in congress; Of cx-
senator Hendricks. Mr.. Pcndle,om
and some others. His friends here
claim III the convention the vote of
Illinois. Indiana. and PENNSYLVANIA a.
Il nuciru, on the first ballot, and of
new York on the next. They claim
also Tennessee. though this will prnvr
dclusiyc. Probably the basis of the
strength of Davis in I'cnn>vlvania
and Indiana : the surpo>ition that.
with the all % the Wincr. and other
Labor ~rrl"rnlrr>. the state elections
uaXt October could be carried against
the Grant party, and give Davis the
prestige o! Il coming triumph. 1t j.
