Cost Of Narrow.Gauge Railroads.

NJ. L. Marsh of Nevada city has re-
ceived the following letter from rail-
road man, giving the cost per mile Of
first-class narrow-gauge road: "Your
favor of the 10th instant received and
contents noted. The cost of building
narrow-gauge railroads will vary ac-
cording to the place where they are
built. The iron, spikes and fish plates
will be about the same, and the differ
ence will be in the grading and ties.
The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad,
when ready for the operating depart
ment, counting one engine, two
coaches and fifty freight cars to twenty
five miles, cost about $4,000 per mile.
Our iron weighs thirty pounds per
yard engines cost at the works from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to weight;
coaches from $4,000 to $4,000; second
class, about $500. We buy all trucks
for freight ears in the East, and build
the bodies for from $50 to $lOO, accord
ing the kind of car" =.

Massachusetts SenatOrship.

The last vote for Senator to succeed
Sumner in Massachusetts shows a
slight decline in the strength of Dawes
and slight increase in that of Adams.
1t is the opinion of some who claim to
be political experts, that Butler is only
loaning votes to Dawes to humbug
him, and that in the end he will either
set up for himself or turn his entire
strength over to Judge Curtis and the
Democrats. Curtis can command
ninety members on a full vote, and
Butler, it is asserted, has fifty. There
are $50 votes in the joint convention,
and al are needed to elect on a full
vote. A coalition between Butler and
Curtis would come within one vote of
electing. With the administration at
his back Butler may prove a formid-
able power in the choice Of Senator if
he can't secure the place himself. 1t
. is tolerably sure that neither Dawes
nor Hoar can muster the votes to be
elected, even if they consent to q con-
promise and doubling of forces. There
would still be left from fifteen to
twenty Republicans who do not follow
the successful candidate of such an
agreement: fH

LIGHT IN DARKNESS.
I,Y 8. A, WIDNEl


Dark clouds may often gather
And hide from us our way;
The folds ofnight's dark curtala
May hide from us the day;
But rosy tints of morning
still shine, though faint their hue,
And midst the clouds the daylight
Is ever struggling through.
The night, though brief and transient,
70 us may endless seem;
The sky. although near morning,
May show no cheering beam;
But aye the clouds at morning,
Though dark, are growing thin,
And through the gloom and shadows
The daylght'S creeping in.
Brave hearts at last may weary
And hope may grow forlorn
N longing for the daylight,
IN watching for the morn;
But though the clouds may thlcken
\ while around the way,
Hope on for soon or later
They'll break and show the day.
Cheer up, faint heart, and, hoping.
Pursue thy journey on;
For. though the night seem endless,
There surely cometh dawn.
Cheer up, nor let thy sorrow
Thy heart chill as q shroud,
For beams of daylight cheering,
VIII soon break through the cloud.

Madame Parepa Rosa.

The death of Madame Parepa Rosa
which occurred on the 22nd inst, has
caused profound impression in musical
circles, and will be read with deep sor
row in widely separated quarters of the
world-in England, where she was uni
versally admired and respected, in Italy,
where she won her earliest operate lau
rels, in Egypt, which was the scene OF
her latest triumphs, but above all, per-
haps, in the United States, where six
years of remarkable professional labor
and extensive travel have made her
name household world from ocean to
ocean, and secured for her hundreds OF
warm personal friends, in all the chief
cities of the Union. She inherited her
wonderful musical talent from her moth
err while as linguist, her father was
particularly gifted, speaking huently
nine languages and dialects. This tai
ent was reproduced in the daughter who
was able to speak and write with ease
in FIVE languages. In 1868, she was
married to Captain Carvil of the British
army, reckless spendthrift and bad
husband He soon dissipated the $780,
900 of his wives fortune, and little
more than six months after the marriage
deserted her and went to Lima, where
he died in April, 1865. A child was
born, but lived but short time. The
young widow was left in nearly destitute
circumstances, and again sought the
stage to retrieve her shattered fortunes
as we'll as to divert her mind from her
troubles.

edged the name Of Carvil-made hel

Adulteration of Sugars.

some excitement has been raised in
New York city by the action of tie
grand jury aud the board of health, in
regard to adulterated aud poisoned SUI
CARS, which are adulterated with iDgre-
dents dangerous to h alth. Several
samples of sugars and syrups have been
analysed and found 10 contain acid poi
sons. One sample procured at a fashion
able Fourteenth street restaurant, was
poured into tea and the mixture, after
standing few seconds turned to dark
color. The tannin in the tea had acted
chemically upon the sulphuric acid in
the syrup. The dark color Of the mix.
ture showed the presence of sulphuric
acid in large quantity. To confirm the
test of this syrup made with the tannin
in tea, the chemist analysed with muri-
ate of Baryta. The result was whitish
pecipitate, indicating the presence of sui
phuric acid. Sugar obtained at lead
ing hotel was Dissolved in clear water, af-
ter which the solution of muriate of
baryta was added. A white pecipitae
was the result, showing the presence of
sulphuric acid.
The manufacturers of bogus sweeten-
ing endeavor to hide the presence of the
acid in their dangerous and filthy COM
pound, but they cannot escape exposure
when the chemical tests are properly APP
piled. In fact much of the sugar used
at several fashionable restaurants to
sweeten coffee can hardly be called pure.
Dissolve the sugar in water and test it,
and the presence of acid will be detected.
Several of the coffee and cake saloons
in the vicinity of the City Hall and on
Ann, Nassau and Chatham streets were
visited. In nearly all Of them the sugar
furnished for sweetening coffee is of a
vile aud poisonous character. The cup
of tea or coffee sold at these cheap con-
Germs is generally sweetened with sugar
of the vilest sort. Not only sulphuric
acid, but other dangerous and health
destroying chemicals abound in them.
The coffee and cake concern, which is
visited daily by hundreds of newsboys,
deals out coffee made of burnt beans,
chickory and corn, sweetened with sugar
that resembles black sand.

nhe Nem rrlhnne Bullding.

The corner stone of the future home
of The New York Tribune was laid with
ceremonies suitable TO the occasion, on
Saturday last. The exercises were by
members of the Tribune Association and
the family of the late Horace Greeley
Miss Ida Greeley placing the oasSet con-
tanning the rect rds and documents which
are not likely to be seen again perhaps
for century TO come, in thecorner stone
prepared for them, and Miss Gabrielle
reading a list of its contents. The New
York Herald of Jan. 25, has the follow
ing appropriate tribute to the Founder
of the Tribune enterprise
"The spot made sacred by the labors
of Horace Greeley was yesterday the
scene of touching incident. The old
building has gone down to the dust like
the man whose genius raised it up ard
made it power in the land. 1t has
passed away, however, to be replaced by
a stronger anG more solid structure, which
is destined to last for ages, and so bear
down to posterity visible sign Of the
of man who left his impress
on the times in which he lived, and who
will be remembered as long as cotempo-
rary records have an interest for the stu
dents of history. Theaccomplisded daugh-
ter of Horace Greeley laid the founda-
ton stone Of the new building which will
remain lasting monument to the mem
DRY of her father. There was something
appropriate and touching in
the sight of the young lazy laying the
foundation of the grand and imposing
structure that already begins to rise out
of the earth, and if spirits can revisit
this globe the shade of Horace Greeley
must have smiled encouragingly on the
work of his daughter.

DECORATED CHINA SETS CHEAP.-
We recently called the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Richard
Briggs, 1877 Washington street, Boston,
who is offering decorated dinner and tea
sets at greatly reduced prices. The plan
which he has adopted for the first time
in this country of offering really desira-
BILE China sets at very low prices, is
meeting with great success, and we ad-
wise all to avail themselves of the rare
opportunity to supply their tables with
a handsome service for about the usual
cost of ordinary white China.

We notice by some of the State papers
that there are several claimants to the
honor of establishing or originating the
present Reform School. AS early as
1857, Gov. Fletcher in his annual mes
sage recommended the establishment OF
a separate department for the disposition
of juvenile offenders, with special refer
ence to their education and instruction,
and in this connection referred to the
Reform Schools of other States as ex-
amples, and at that session the legisla-
ture authorized him as governor to ap-
point some person to visit those institu-
tions and report on the same. Accord
ingly he appointed Mr.. Weston of Bur
lington who made an able report on the
subject the next year. This action was
joir ed and followed by the efforts of 9th
ers till the present State Reform School
was established. 1t strikes us, therefore,
that Gov. Fletcher was the earliest in
the field for this institution, and if so
the honor should 60 where it is due.
