A Novel Railroad.
philadelphia l. dyer.

philadelphia l. dyer.
There has Just been completed at the
machine-shop OF Lafferty & Bros, Glou-
cester City, n. j., a fonr-ton locomotive,
designed to run on one rail. 1t is built
for street railroad company in Georgia.
This engine can with proprety be called
Il st cam velocipede, as it rests upon two
wheels, one following the other. The
rail or track upon which it is to run, a
sample of which is laid in the yard of
the builders, is styled a "Prismoid, or
one track railway" and is composed OF
several thicknesses of plank, built up in
the style of an inverted keel of a vessel
with fiat rail on the apex. Upon II
trial, a speed Of about twelve miles an
hour was attained, and the inventor and
pltentee claims that the speed can be
almost doubled on a heightened track.
Mr.. E. Crew, of Opelika, Ga, is the
inventor and patentee Of both track
and engines, and he claims that his IN
ventions demonstrate a tractive power
superior to anything in the locomotive
line of equal weight. The capacity for
running curves is very much greater than
the two wheel system. The track upon
WHICH the lIdi wis 41duC COHLdlUcu llDi-
ty-six feet OF lnmber and eighteen pounds
of iron to the lineal foot, proving Itself
equal to span of twenty feet, remaining
firm and unyielding under the pressure
of the engine as it traversed the road.
The revolving fanges attached to the en-
CINE, and which run on the outsdes of
each wheel, Mr.. Crew claims, absolutely
lock the rolling stock to the prism, and
obviate the necessity of 50 much heavy
rolling stock in light traffic at high rate
If speed. 1t is also claimed that pris-
modal railway built with a base Of four
teen inches, angles forty-five degrees, can
be built at a cost of So, 600 per mile.
The inventor is ofopinion that his engine
and track is particularly adapted to the
propeling Of canal boats, and will com
pete successfully with horse power on CT
nals without necessarily interfering with
the Use of the latter, but he does
n 1t state in what way. The engine will

lanta, Ga J, where it goes into operation
ON a street railroad, built at an elevation
of twelve feet above the sidewalk.

n French Marriage.

A French paper tells a singular story
Of marriage in high circles that comes
quite up to our American ways of mar
rage and divorce. A certain Count x,
it seems, was desperately in love with
beautiful girl, and finally induced her to
become his mistress. He would have
married her if it had not been for the
persistent opposition of his parents to any
alliance with the bourgeois class. be kept
up his relation with the girl forsom time.
all the while bothering his brains to find
out a way in which he could marry her
with the consent of his parents. Finally
he poured out his troubles to friend Of
ready wit, who at once suggested splu-
tion. A bankrupt young Count Y, OF
ancient family, was just then haunting
the streets of Paris, and the suggestion
was that this spendthrift be hired to mar
nv the girl and thus make her Countess.
No sooner said than done. Count T.,
was found and only too glad to make 81,
600 and two diamond studs, the latter
being stipulated by him in addition to the
ready money, because he foresaw the
probability Of pawnihg something after
the money should have been spent The
contract was accordingly drawn up, its
chief provision being that Count Y,
obliged himself, Immediately after the
marriage, to cede his wife unto the said
Count x, and Immediately thereafter to
institute suit for divorce on theground
of willful desertion." The marriage then
took place, and the pretty girl, now
Countess Y, returned with Count K,
to her lodgings. the whole party having
first enjoyed a splendid dinner, at which
Count Y. was the gayest of the gay. HI
faithfully kept his word; divorce wa
soon obtained, and Count x. told his pa
rents that he would marry no other per
son than Countess 7. No objection coult
be interposed and every body vas mad
happy.
