For the CITIzEN.l
Narrow VS.. Broad Guage Rail-
roads,
NUMBER 3

Mn. EDIToR The first proposition
laid down in my last communication is
the large comparative saving in first
construction of narrow guage railroads.
w. S. Watson, Esq'r, Civil Engineer,
/ San Francisco, Cal, says: at will be
| admitted that the chief difficulty in
| building railroads anywhere Is their
cost. This difficulty hinders the build
| ing of many roads that would pay if
| they were built. The present standard
guage railroads in the United States
have cost about $4,000 per mile, the
construction of which has created an
indebtedness of nearly 1900 millions of
dollars exclusive of stock subscriptioR)
which at 81 per cent. interest per annum
involves the annual payment of la mill
lions of dollars which the commerce of
the country is compelled to pay. If the
present system is not changed and the
bond list increases in the next ten years
as it has in the last, this Indebtedness
will amount to probably not less than
$500 millions of dollars, with an annual
tax on transportation of 245 millions of
dollars. The change that is proposed
will build roads that have an equal ca
pacity, both for freight and passengers,
and upon which equally fast time can
be made, for less than forty per cent,
and when built can be maintained ut
not to exceed one-third of the expense
of the present system.
''The cutting and filing of the road
bed will not be more than one-half,
through a country of an ordinary even
surface. Curves can be used and sue
cessfully operated as sharp as two hun
dred feet radius and thereby reduce the
cost of construction in heavy country
to less than t,centy-yf re per cent. Of aohdt
STANDARD guGge can be built for in those
countries. The cost Of permanent struc-
ture can be reduced at least one-third,
ties to two thirds. The rails will be re-
duced from so pounds per yard to 25 and
80, and their durability increased frOm5
years to at least fifteen, with the same
business. The locomotives can be re-
duced in weight from 20 and GO tons to
a, 10 tons, made on patterns suitable
to the changed guage. The cars will be
reduced from lG and 80 tons to 4 and 61a
tons, while the freight cars can be re-
duced from and IA tons to l and 21a
tons. The buildings can be reduced in
proportion. The turn tables and all
fixtures can be reduced at least three
ifths. This system of roads can be con-
structed in one-half the time required
to construct the present system and re-
turn interest proportiOnately enhanced"
Among the many practical results OF
the narrow guage roads, he adds, "they
will constitute a means through which
existing lines of standard guage roads
will be compelled to reduce freights and
charges from six cents a mile for pas
sengers to less than two, and from ten
cents per ton for freight to at least one
third tnat amount"
In my next L will give the actual cost
per mile of three feet guage railroads in
this country and Europe, which will
abundantly prove the foregoing propo-
sitiOns. a. CON.

How to Keen Apples.


Our friend, Sterling Alternately, ESD,
is a great lover and grower of fruits,
and has heretofore succeeded better
than his neighbors in keeping apples
through the winter. We ate some of
those apples last Monday, which were
rs fresh and plump as if they had just
been plucked from the tree, and he
promises to bring us more of them in
May or June, to show us that they may
be kept till apples come again. He has
simply laid floor in his spring house
and made an apple bin of it. The APP
pies are gathered in the fall and emptied
into this bin, and are never afterwards
disturbed, not even to assert them, I'M
til spring. None of them have frozen
or rottcd during the past winter. The
evaporation from the spring keeps them
in healthy condition.

Three or four of cur Jewish citizens
were fined last Monday for indnlging in
a little game of cards the day before
We refrain from giving their names be-
cause they claim that no offense to God
or man was intended, and however we
may think of it, it is a fact that must be
borne in mind that an action cannot be
culpable unless the intentis evil. They
have the right to their opinions, but
when those opinions permit them to do
things againts the laws of the land in
which they live, they should quietly
submit to the penalty prescribed. Mr..
Richardson did his duty in arresting
them and Esq. Alexander fined them
justly, but we must all admit that the
circumstances are mitigating.

InfantiIo Coniugalitr.

Our reporter held an interview with
one of Pulaski's oldest and blacklist fe-
male residents the other day, during
which the following startling facts were
developed: She stated that she was a
female woman of the feminine gender,
and that it had once been her melan-
choly privilege to bask in the eXuberant
sunshine of conjugal felicity. Twenty
years had been added unto time since
the green sod enclosed the remains of
her lamented husband, but before death
snapped asunder the bond of union she
had dwell in peace aud happiness with
her worthy lord for the period of forty
five years. Time had not glided past
without adding years unto her age, and
in consequence she is now sixty-seven
years old. a little calculation will show
that she entered into the holy estate of
matrimony at the early age of two years.
We have no reason to doubt the veraci-
ty of our aged informant, and we give
these facts to show one of the customs
of ancient times.

One Of Pulaski's handsomest yourg
men made an engagement one night
last week to call upon one of Giles coun-
tvs loveliest daughters. The parlor
was brilliantly lighted and comforta-
BILE fire blazed upon the hearth. The
young lady donned her most becoming
attire and made preparation to deck her
beautiful countenance with one of her
sweetest aud most bewitching smiles at
his approach, and all things being
prepared, quietly awaited his coming.
Minutes heightened into an hour, and
hour was added to hour, but stlll he
came not. And he kept on canning
not till nc didn't come at all. The next
morning the lady of the holse at which
the young lady was stopping brought
around a bill of one dollar against the
absent-minded young cuss for fire and
lights. He was trying to borrow the
money nc last accounts.

At last the mHch-needed bell for the
Episcopal Church has arrived, and It is
a splendid one, with a clear b fiat tone,
which rings upon the listening ear each
Sabbath morn and eve, with cheerful,
hallowing cadence, calling the faithful
to worship, and echoes back from the
neighboring hills TO every household in
the town sweet, soft invitation to sin
ners. The bell was made by a firm in
Cincinnati especially for this place and
was transported free of charge from
that city to this. We congratulate the
Church, and especially Mrs. Carter, who
worked so faithfully to get the bell, up
on the happy contamination.
