Death of Horace F. Clark.

Mr. Clark, who died at his residence
in New York, on tho Goth inst of
rheumatism Of the heart, was gener-
ally known throughout the country,
as the son-in-law of Vanderbilt, the
railway King. Mr.. Clark was man
Of considerable ability, and as a mem.
Der of Congress before the war, made
quite mark He was strong Dem.
ocrat, and took the southern side on
the slavery question.
He was very much trusted by Van
derbilt, and whenever be had diff,
cult job to execute before the Legis-
!ature at Albany, or before the New
York Common Council, bio depended
on Clark to carry it through, The
Vanderbilt interest made him presi-
dent of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, and also the Union Pacific
Raiload Personally be was liked
much better than Vanderbilt, as his
manners were frank and cordial.
Clark's death will prove serious loss
TO Vanderbilt in the management Of
the western connections of the New
York Central. OF the numerous
brood OF sons and sonin.laws of Van
derbilt, there is not one that has the
ability of Clark, so the Comodore will
have work TO obtain another right
bower to uphold his:extended railway
arms.-Erening Wisconsin.

TIE Misunderstanding Robson
has concluded his Investigation con-
concerning the cruise Of the Polaris
among thcicobergs, and tho complete
story ofthe expedition will soon be
given To tho public. 1t contains the
evidence Of Captain Tyson and
Myers, tho Esquimaux Joe and Hans,
together with several Of tho crow.
Tho result Of the investigation shows,
first, that Captain Hall died natural
death all rumors and reports to the
contrary notwithstanding. Seco nd,
that the parting from the PoIaris by
Capt Tyson and his men was purely
accidental, and that no blame on this
account attached to Capt. Budding
ton Third, that to great extent
the objects Of the expedition were ac-
com phehcd Before the death Of Capt.
Hall; that is that he reached point
Of latitude not attained heretofore by
any Arctic expedition Fourth, that
tho Polaris will return home before
tho end Of the summer.

The Narrow Guage.

We hear it mentioned by some who
take pleasure in speaking OF The new
systom of railways "a the marrow
gouge," that there are no roads being
operated at this time upon the mar
row guage plan. The following from
the Inter- Ocean should enlighten
them:
The success of the narrow-guage
railways seems beyond question. A
large majority Of the roads in the
west, now projected or being built,
are narrow guage. The Denver and
Rio Grande was the first one cons
menced on this plan Then the Col
orado Central was changed from
broad TO narrow guage. The North.
ern Utah line, the Leavensworth and
Denver, and the Southern Pacific,
beginning in Texas, are among the
the roads a this character that are
being carried forward to completion.
All over the country trunk or branch
roads of this guage being built. One
will soon be completed running from
st Louis to Cairo; one from Terre
Haute to Cincinnati; the Pennsyl-
vania Central is building branch
roads Of the same pattern, and the
Arkansas Central is beng laid as a
narrow guagc. The Chicago, Nil.
Iington and Western is another i'm
portant line that will doubtless soon
be in sctvo course Of construction.
All this Is pretty good evidence that
the narrow guagc is becoming popu-
lar, and that its advantages are moro
apparent rs they become more fully
known.

Journal says, of the confederate
movement TO capture the oranges:
The Western farmers are sensible
in notopermitting their movement to
be captured by the free traders.
The consequence, Of course, is that
they are being roundly abused by
the free trade organs, who find that
they cannot use the movement for
their own purposes. The Chicago
Tribune, for instance, concludes that
the whole thing is compound Of
