Narrow Gauge Railroads.

~ aIEOH 0duSC RAILROADS.
The Boston, Revere and Lynn snar-
row gauge" was opened last week. It's
length is ten miles, and gauge, we be-
lieye, three feet. The opening of this lit
tie raflrOad-tOr it is short and narrow
suggests the thought that narrow gauge
roads might be resorted to more fre-
quentIy than they are in many places
where the traffic and population are not
sufficient to support a broad gauge road.
There are many miles of such roads in
the Western and Southern States of great
use and convenience to the population,
and profit to the owners, which, if built
of broad gauge, might fail to pay expen-
ses, and so fall into. disuse. The narrow
gauge requires less roadway, and, con
sequently, smaller entertainments and
cuttings they admit of sharper curves,
and so may be built with smaller detours
on account of topography; the rails used
are lighter, The ties shorter, and so each
Item IN the construction costs less than
for broad gauge road. The same is
the case with rolling stock-cars and To-
cOmotives- which may be made quite
as convenient and effective as their lar
ger rivals at much less cost. But the
saving which the narrow gauge roads
effect Is in the cost of running them
The cars being lighter the engine is not
required to move so much dead weight
in proportion to paying freight as on
broad gauge roads.-BGnner.

From the 9th District,

Crops are looking better than for
years past. Farmers have done wisely,
we think, in planting less cotton and
more grain. This rests and improves
their lands, enables them to raise more
stock, and stop this everlasting sending
abroad for supplies. The grasshOppers
of all sizes and cOlors are getting thick,
and the fear now is that they will at
tack cOrnfields, since the meadows have
been moved.
One of our enteTprising road over
seers has recently built a much needed
bridge, and it is rumOred will soon
build another. The first is on the road
leading from Aspen Hill up the
valley and the other at Buffers ford.
The first is well built, and the thanks
of the neighborhood are due the over
seer, as the road was almost impossible
in winter without it. The latter will
be a great convenience.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A CHILD FALLS A DISTANCE or THIRTY
FEET AND ESCAPES UNINJURED

One of the most fortunate and narrow
est escapes from a terrible death that
ever occurred IN this city, perhaps was
made on Monday evening by little son
Of Mr.. Robert Samuel, who resides in
the building No. 172 Wylie avenue, one
room of which is occupied by F, A. Able's
drug store, between Elm and Logan
streets. The family reside in the upper
portion of the building, the second story
of which is about thirty feet high above
the pavement in the rear. During the
day the washing of the family had been
done and fortunately the clothes-line had
been left tightly stretched under one of
the second story windows. In the even
ing the little son, who is between seven
and eight years old, was playing at the
window, when he lost his balance and
fell out. In his descent he described one
or two somersaults, and fortunately
struck the stretched clothes. line with his
breast bone. The line was broken by
his weight, he having fallen adistance of
fully thirty ieet, but the force of his fall
was expended and the clild lit on the
pavement without the slightest injury.
His mother rushed frantically to the
window expecting to see the mangled
corpse of her child lying on the pave
ment, and was rejoiced to find the little
fellow retreating into the house.
She examined her child and was una
BILE to find any injury, but not being sat-
isfed she sent for DIR. Pollock, who also
closely examined him, but was unable to
discover tnat the boy had received anv
injury. The escape is remarkable.-PH.

THE STARS.

The distance of the star Sirius from the
earth has been computed to be 100000
100000 miles; and yet it has not only been
photographed, but subjected to the ap-
plication of the spectrum analysis. A
single glance at the spectra afforded by
this star, Aldebaran, and Orionis
shows, too, that the fixed stars have been
created upon the same general plan as
our sun, and yet that to this unity of
plan is added variety of purpose in the
different groupings Of the elements
composing each. In some of the stars,
the sodium line of the solar spectrum is
so clearly defined that the proof of the
presence of this metal in the stellar at
mospheres has long been considered as
conclusive. Then, too, among large
number of stars observed, many if not
all are found to have lines coinciding
with those proved to result from the
presence of hydrogen thus showing that
the latter-the element upon this earth,
next to oxygen, perhaps, the most widely
present, and equally essential with exy-
gen to the structure of everything that
has life-is also very widely difiused
through the universe. Indications of
magnesium and iron in the stars are also
quite frequent.
