~ have met with some intelligent and
practical men from the Northwest, who
gave me great deal of valuable infor-
nation upon the subject Of narrow guage
railroads. X. II. Payson, Of Chicago who
has recently spent nine months in Europe,
and who is;now building the Northern Pa.
cifc railroad four eight and u half guage

practical bearings, and his opinions are
worth more than the opinions Of a thous
and men who know nothing about tho
system, even if they do happen to be rail.
road officials. He says the Cairo and st
Louis road will be much more costly thar
the ordinary narrow-guage roads because
the work is so heavy, being through 0
very rugged country, with an immense
quantity of rock-cutting. The iron rail,
will weigh forty pounds to the yard, which
is much heavier than usual. The
equipments are Aery expensive also
being twcnty-six engines and :
corresponding amount of rolling
stock. :The road is built in this ex,
pensive manner on account of the immense
business Of heavy character that it will
do from the commencement, running as il
does, through coal-Gelds for sixty miles
and its whole distance being only one hun.
dred and fifty miles.
Notwithstanding the costly nature of the
work, and its extensive equipments, the
whole cost of constructing, ironing and
equlpping the road will be only twenty
thousand dollars per mile-net more than
half what it would have been on road Of
a standard guage through tho same coun.
try. This road is but the commencement
of a system of narrow-guage roads that
will extend from st. Louis, through Men,
phis and Vicksburg to the Gulf. II il can
succeed between st. Louis and Cairo, its
profits will increase every mile it goes

and carried into another room, where
they were left after the money was ex-

where the pants we're found said they saw
a man about 2 o'clock in the morning in
their room, ard pointed the individual out
to the landlady at the breakfast table the
next morning. After some stir about
the matter the loser found his money
rolled up in the sheet in his bed There is
no doubt that the money was stolen, but it
is supposed that the thief after identifca-
ton, became alarmed and deposited the
