A New RAILWAY LINB.--A narrow-gauge
railway line Of considerable pretensions has
been projected along tue Atlantic sc,hoard,
and charters have been obtained in three
States, with authority to consolidate, provi-
ding for line Of three-feet gauge from Nor
folk to Charleston by way of Wilmington,
n. G, 1t is the ultimate intention 10 extend
the line to Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, and New York, and both northern and
southern capitalists are said to bs interested
IN the enterprise, and It is added that sur.
yeys will soon be begun. It Is the expecta.
ton to build the line IN very substantial
style, to stock 1t well, and to make running.
time Of thirty-fiye miles an hour, which Is at
present an irnpossibilitv on most of the south.
ern lines, In consequence Of their being
chiefly singe-track roads, poorly built, little
patronized, and deficient in means to provide
adequate rolling stock and other facilities.
As the southern lines are chiefly Of gauges
from five feet to five feet nine inches, and,
therefore, have all the expensive character
of the wide gauge without the great bust
ness requisites to make it pay, it is obvious
that a trst-class narroW-gauge line, well
maintained, would be a great desidalatum on
the southern seaboard. It,is not presumab,e
that existing monopolies anywhere in such a
country can be permanently maintained

A YOUNG Man MISTAKES HIS Friend FOR
AN OPossrM AND SHOOTS HM.-[Bowlng
Green (ky.) Democrat Last night week
since, in the vicinity of Auburn, in Lo-
gan county, two young men, named re-
spectiveiy Henry Wilson and Isaac James,
went ont hunting. In the progress Of their
hunt they "treed" an opossum. The tree
containing the opossum not being far from
the residence Of James, he returned thitber
and obtained a gun with which to shoot the
animal.i LIN tie mean time Wilson climbed
the tree, thinking lie would shake him out
for the dogs. James returned to the spot
with the gun, and looking up into the tree
thought he saw The animal, and cried out 10
his friend that he saw him and would shoot
him. Unfortunately, however, James mis-.
took Wilson for the opoSsum and shot him,
The load, embracing ffty-odd shot, being
lodged in his face. A portion of the load
entered one Of Wilson's eyes and destroyed
it. aud n portion seriously mangled his face.
The horror-stricken victim of the shooting
held firmly to the limb Of the tree and de.
Scended without falling. Young James was
overwhelmed with grief mt the sad mistake
which he had unfortunately committed
Young Wilson is now confined to his home,
and is quite sufferer, but will recover from
his wounds with the loss Of an eye. lie is q
young man Of high traits Of character, and
has the sympathy not only of his companion
in the unfortunate hunt, but Of the whole
community. lie is the mainstay Of q widowed
mother. and VIC are glad to hear that ho will
recover.

How PAPER STooD THE FIRE IN BosToN.
From the Boston IGrert,ser, November
18TH ]-Curious results have followed some
OF the experiments made upon charrcd pa
pers and documents, and the examinations Of
books in safes which proved worthless in the
great fire. 1t has been found that what pa
per-makers call poor paper, paper considcra-
bly, "cayed.' stood the best test. Parcil-
ment paper, used for bonds and legal docu.
ments, shriyeled UP exceedingly, and the
print tlistered so that it could be read when
writing was illegible. So it was with the
engraved work on notes. The gliding on
the account.books burneIl and charred
showed out rs bright and clear as when the
| books were new, which brings up the
| question il to introduce gilt-edged ac-
count-hooks would not he we'll, on the
ground tbat the gilt woul d stay the pas
| sage Of fire to the pages within. Books
crammed into safe so that 1t WAS difficult to
get them out suffered considerably less than
| those that were set in loosely: and in some
| eases came out from safes i'm which every
! thing else was worthless so far preserved
| that the figures on their pages could be de.
| ciphered. With charred papers, which could
not be made transparent by any light what.
ever used, it was found. after the employ
mcnt Of vitrio!, oXalic acid, chalk, glycerine
and other things. that anything that moist
ened them to certain staGe~-to which il
was delicate work 10 get and lsot pass-made
the lines, words, and figures lGgible through
agnirying.glass. 1t has lhen the almo /
universal experience that lea a.pencil mark'
show out all right where ink marks cannot
be distinguished. The success OF the use o
photography has already been noted.
