Narrow Gauge.

A correspondent of the San Francisco But-
letin writes as follows from Denver, Color
ado:
My main object in coming to this busy
mountain town was to study the practical
operation of narrow gauge railroads, for it
was here, believe, the first systematic ex-
pertinent was tried, and it is here that the
question OF its success is to be deter
mined.
The Denver and Rio Grande railroad
three feet gauge-has been completed to
Pueblo, distance of 12S miles. A branch
line thirty miles long, running to recently
discovered coal mines, is under contract and
will be finished before winter sets in. In the
meantime the main line will be steadily
pushed southwark to New Mexico and the
Rio Grande, with Mexico for its objective
point When completed it will form a con-
tinuous line of nine hundred miles. running
along the eastern base of the Rocky noun
tains, tapping great cattle, grain and wine
raising country, and opening to American
| enterprise the famous silver mines of Mexico.
! And it will be built without government aid
and with but slight local subsidy, the pro-
| jectors trusting to the development of the
! country, with an immense mineral and agri-
cultural wealth, for the reward of their enter
prise. And the reward promises to be more
| anticipated when the work was begun. The
present earnings of the road yield handsome
income on the money invested. The cars,
one train day, are crowded with passengers,
and the capacity of the company is fully
taxed to meet the freight demand. lis the
| road doing a good business ?' asked a prom
nent citizen. "Doing the best business OF
any railroad coming in here. Doing a better
| business than the Kansas Pacific with its
eastern connections, and doing it more salts
factorily to the public" he replied. And this
seemed to be the general opinion.
What surprises me greatly is the speed,
ease and apparent safety with which trains
may be run on the narrow gauge. Railroad
men tell me-and broad gauge employees,
too-that there is no difficulty in running
twenty-five and thirty miles an hour. In
deed. this is done daily on portions of the
Denver and Rio Grande road. Then there is
very little jolting, jarring and surgnS Of the
| cars. You sit almost as comfortably, as easily
as if you were in your own house.
The carsare about as dainty ylooking as those
J of toy shop; the engines are liliputian.

THE LATEST SwINDLE.-Certain sanctmo-
nous charltans would fain persuade the world
that diffusive stimulants have no medicinal
value, and that detestable slops, composed of
gripping acids and drastic purgatives, are better
tonics than the finest vegetable ingredients
combined with the purest and mellowest prod
ucts of the still. But this sort of thing won't
go down. The stomach of our common sense
rejects it, as the physical stomach of every
man with an undepraved palate rejects, with
loathing and adherence, the nauseous abom-
nations, ''free from ALCOHOL which humbugs
are trying to thrust down the throats of Tenn
perance Invalids under the pretense that the
filth will do them good? 1t is not likely that
while PLANTATION BTTERs, the Standard Ton

sickening frauds can make much headway, bu t

PuRGATTvE PILLS have become settled neces-
sity with the American p ople. Indeed cathar-
tics always have been and always must be
used, in some form, by all mankind In this
country the pilular form of administration has
been growing in favor since pills were first
made of Aloes and Rhubarb, rolled into ball.
Their high position in the public confidence
has finally been secured and fastened into per-
manency by AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS, the
most skillful combination of medicine for the
