NarrOw-GaUgc Railroad COhVen-
zion Report.

We have examined with care the
report made by the committee APP
pointed at the late railroad conven-
ton in st. Louis, and unhesitatingly
pronounce il the ablest, most con-
elusive and unanswerable document
on the subject upon which il treats
that has been published in many
day. What gives il so much weight
is the fact that il shows the results
of actual experience and abOunds
with strong practical arguments.
If the facts stated are true, and we
have no reason to doubt them, they
have established the great value Of
these roads, especially in the South
and West. This report Is signed by
w. ii. Greenwald, General Man-
ager Denver and Rio Graude Road,
by Lucien Scott, Nice-PTesident
Kansas Central Road; w. NJ. Kas-
son, Chief Engineer St. Louis and
Western Road; L. WTagge, of Can
ada, Chief engineer Toronto, Grey
and Bruce railroad, and by represen-
tatives from the firms of Porter,
Bell 4 Co, Billmeyer &c Small,
Jackson 81 Sharpe, locomotive and
car-builders. This shows the char
acter of this report, and the impor-
lance which should be attached to
its statements. 1t should be pub
lished and distributed in pamphlet
form. While broad-gauge roads
have some advantages on great
trunk lines, where great speed is re-
Quilted, it cannot be denied that the
narrow has advantages in all
/ local business, on account of cheap
construction and small operating
| expenses. We would not be sur
prfsed if within a few years many
existing railroad companies should
adopt the nRrrOw-gauge for local
business and bronch lines. The
facts given by this committee in re-
gard to the transportation Of cotton
and cattle are calculated TO produce
u profound impression. st. Louis
| and Memphis are to be the ccnters
of railroad systems, to the perfec-
| ton of which broad and narrow
gauge roads will alike cOntri butte
| Appeal.

Col. ". u. vaughan.

Under the announcement head
will be found in this issue of the
WING AND TRIBUNE, the name of
Col. w. w. Vaughan, for reelection
to Congress. 1t is no more than
justice to Col. Vaughan to say that
he has made faithful, efficient and
constant member of Congress
has, in point of fact accomplished
more for the material prosperity of
his district than any member who
has occupied the position for TWEEN
ty years.
lie is a candidate for reelection,
and we gathered from conversation
with him that he does not favor a
delegate convention, while he is in
favor of PRIMARY election in the
district if any action to rule off
any of the candidates shall be deem
ed necessary.
There never was, in our opinion a
better time for an open field fight
than the present, There is no pos
sibility OF the election Of radical
from this district, should there be
half u dozen democratic candidates
in the field; and the people of this
country are awfuhy sick of the mis-
cradle swindles called conventions,
to settle the question as to who
shall be the candidates. Now is a
good time to break the back of the
monster, and retire him from the
public gaze. Let us have an old
time tusselfOr Congressional hOnors,
and let the hardest fend off.
Let the people have a chance to
decide who shall represent them in
Congress. 1t is their due, and we
would not like to stand between
them and their rights in this matter.

Weather-wise Animals.

An indefatigable metcorologist has gath
cred some curious observations on certain
animals who, by some peculiar sensibility to
electrical or other atmospheric influence, Oft
en- indicate changes of'the weather by their
peculiar motions and habits. Thus:
Ants.-An universal hustle and activity
observed in ant hills, may be generally re-
garded as sign of rain; the ants frequently
appear all in motion together, and carry
their eggs about from place to place. This
is remarked by.Virgil, Pliny and others.
Bats fitting about late in the evening in
spring and autumn, foretel u fine day on the
morrow; as do some insects. On the con-
trary, when bats return soon to their hiding
places, and send forth loud cries, bad wealth
er may beexpceted.
Beetles flying about late in the evening
often forctel fine day on the morrow.
Butterflies, when they appear early arc
sometimes forcrunners of fine weather.
Moths and Sphinres also foretel fine wealth
er VIII n thep are common in the evening
Cats when they wash their faces, or when
they seem sleepy and dull, forctel rain.
Chickens. when they pick up small stones
and pebbles and are more noisy than usual,
afford a sign of rain, so do towels rubbing in
the dust, and clapping their wings, but this
applies to several kinds of towels, as we'll as
to the gallenaceous kinds. Cocks whom
they crow at unwonted hours, often foretel
rain; when they crow all day. in summer par
ticuiarly, change to rain frequently oc-
ours
Dolphins as we'll rs porp1ises, when they
come about a ship, and sport on tie surface
Of tho water, bctokon storm.
Dogs, before rain, grow sleepy and dull,
lie drowsily before the fire, and are not cast
ly aroused. They also often eat grass which
indicates that their stomachs, like ours are
apt 10 be disturbed before changes of the
weather. IL Is also said to be sign of q
change of weather when dogs howl and bark
much at night. Dogs also dig in the earth
with their feet before rain, and often dig
deep holes in tho ground.
D"cks-Thc loud and elamorous qnack
ing of ducks, geese, and other water fowls is
a sign Of rain, rs it is, also, when they wash
themselves, and flutter about in the water
more than usual. Virgil has well described
all these HABITS of acqlatic birds.
Fishes when they bite moro readily than
usual, and ganlbol near the surface of pool:

rays upon brick walls. A light, hot breeze
coming in disappointing puffs from southcrly
and Westerly directions, did not help matters
much. Yesterday, however, a cool breeze,
vcering from the North casL to Northwest,
brought an array Of dark.looking clouds
laughing along with it, and glance at the
heavens told there was some commotion aloit,
for heavy, black, lightining-laden cumuli
could be seen sailing nlajestically from the
Southwest. This could end but one way,
and after nighfall the storm broke forth, the
rain fell in tropical torrents and New York's
humanity and car horses took heart Of grace
that the fiery death had turned IFS Sahara
yisage from them.-N y : HcmM

Barnum and Greeley.

The following is IN extract from private
letter written by p. T. Barnum to 4 Nepub,
lican friend: {:
* l have known Horace Greeley
80 years, and known only to admire aid love
him. In my opinion he is as pure man as
God eyer made. He has done more to mould
the American character for good than any
dozen clergymen, editors or other men in
America. He has done more to make the
Republican party than any other ten men,
lie is the most unsclfsh man I ever knew.
His faith is SO grounded in justice to all that
no man, men or clique can ever tempt him
to wink ut wrong -doing-hence he will never
be cajoaled into appointing to Office impure
men. He is sagacious, and, although almost
celestial in his virtues, he is sufficiently
wordly wise in the domain Of politics, in
which he has so long and gloriously labored,
that he will not be betrayed into any scheme
that will subvcrt Or injure the pure princi.
pies which he has always SO forcibly and hon
orably taught I have had dealings with
him in business, while I was President and
he Director Of the Crystal Palace Company:
and in other instances, and ] can testify that
he exhibits prudence and sagacity, as we'll
as 6rmness, quite opposite from the repre-.
sentations Of his maigners. | thank God
for being permitted to do what am able
toward electing as President Of the United
States this pure and noble American, whom
everybody declares to be an honest man and
a successful editor, while everybody ought
to know the fact that he has always been
successful business man. TO elect man of
such character and habits as Horace Gree
ley, on the noblest platform that was ever
penned, and which We know he will sacrcdly
sustain. is an honor of which every citizen
in America ought to be proud. TO drop a
ballot for him will be truly great pleasure,
for the White House will be hallowed by his
occupancy. God grant that he may be elect
ed, and that thus the wisdom and good prin-
ciplca of q majority of the American people
may be made manifest.
Pr. BARNUM
Briagpot, July G.
= Mr.. Barnum also writes that he is about
to organize Greeley and Brown club in
Bridgeport. lie says that at least 800 Re-
publicans and all the Democrats in Bridge
port will support the Cincinnati ticket, and
about the same proportion throughout Con-
necticut. Mr.. Barnum's great menagerie
and circus is now travelling through Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. lie
wishes public notice tobc given that his
largest tent, which comfortably seats 10000
persons will be at the free disposal of the
people on any afternoon desired, at o'clock
for polical mass meetings of either party
Mr.. Barnum would prefer to have joint dis
cussions and arguments from both support
ers and opponents Of Gen. Grant.
