line Of this narrower gauge can even have
siding run up to his barn, and own his
freight car, paying to the railway company
for drawing it to and from the station,
loaded, a mere nominal amount. 1t is a
well established fact IN railroading that
SHORT BRANCH LINES NEVER PAY
But mere Ia method that, while it does
away altogether with branch roads, multi
plies the feeders OF the main lines TO all
extent which We eau as yet scarcely con-
lecture. By this means towns that are
now in the background and steadily losing
their inhabitants because of the lack Of
quick and easy meaGs of reaching busi
ness centers, will once again become the
seat OF a growing population, and be pre-
pared to welcome the retlux Of that tide
Of population which has been setting tow
ard the cities and manufacturing centers
for the past quarter OF Il century. With
the extra facilities which these narrower
gauge feeders would afford to the more
active populations OF the future, all the
towns in the state would be brought i3to
suburban relations with the cities.
But not alone in our older states would
this new style of road find an eminent use
iulness. In the level prairicss land rolling
lands Of the west and south, where popu-
lation and main lines of railway are more
scattered than in New England, the mar
row gauge, that could be constructed
and equipped at cost Of from 81, 800 to
$4,000 per mile, would not fail to find
universal welcome and adoption, Even
now the people in these sections are con
structing end projecting lines Of narrow
gauge roads, costing from $4,000 to $50
900 a mile. This shows that they realize
their great want, But how much better
it would be if they could accomplish the
I'D Trey haye i'll view at one fourth to
one-third the cost of the ordinary narrow
gauge.
This gives hut mere outline of the
project which Mr. Mansfield has worked
olt to demonstration by patient labor
| and intelligent perseverance,. That ii j.

in the general economy Of human reia-

ROME.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA letter from
Rome says the Pope has given special
orders for preparation for the reception of
the Eew American Cardinal. Another
Italian letter states that no proclamation
of unity, no UnifcatiOn Of political and
administrative legislation can destroy the
traditional fact Of seven States, with seven
different capitals and local interests, AMI
at the present moment Italy has resolved
herself into her component parts, and with
the exception Of few common points of
interest, the inhabitants of each State Oc-
cUpy themselves with affairs of neighbOr-
ing States neither more nor less than
with those Of foreign cOun-
lries. The news of the triumph
Of the Clerical party in Venice, Florence,
Geneva and Verona have raised the
POpe's hopes considerably. Indeed,
almost the only topic which interests all
Italy at the present moment is precisely
these municipal elections. In Venice the
Liberals allied themselves with the Cleri-
cal party against the MOdeTates, and sue
ceeded, but in Florence and Geneva,
especially the latter city, the MOderates
allied themselves against the Liberals and
obtained a still more brilliant success, for
cut Of Z, ,l69 votes s, ,4S2 went TO the voting
urn, and out Of sixty town councillors
elected, thirty-seven Clericals and but
twenty-three Liberals succeeded. The en-
tire people are anxiously awaiting news Of
the NeapOlitan elections, but the result is
certain-the Clericals will carry the day,
and for the fist time since the
annexation of 1860, the Moderstes and
Clericals have openly and avOwedly joined
hands and formed an offensive and defen-
sive alliance against the Liberals, who
have hitherto administered the province.
The explanation Of this change is that
nearly all the COmmUnes of Italy are over
head and ears in debt, and the citizens who
clamOred for fetes and monuments and
public gardens, new markets and bOule-
wards, now that the bill is presented, are
appalled, at the sum total, blaming their
Mayor and Council, and looking round for
new men, and find none in their own re-
spective parties. The populations are tired
Of Moderate Tulelin politics as in local af
fairs. The MOdeTates dread the advent Of
the Liberals, and both claim the alliance OF
the party recognized yesterday as their
common foe.

DETROIT.
Association for the Advance

Historical sketeh Of DetroIs.

DETROIT, Aug. 1.-THE American As
sOciaticn for the Advancement Of Science,
met in this city at Clark's Opera House
this morning, Prof. j. E. Hillyard, OF the
Coast Survey, in the chair.
The proceedings were opened by prayer,
after which ex-Judge Chss. j. Walker, now
one Of the Professors in the law depart
ment Of the University of Michigan, well
coined the guests of the city in speech, in
which he called attention TO the fact that
Detroit was founded in the same year as
Philadelphia, and said that It is less than
forty years since Michigan became a soyer-
eign State, and yet we claim that we have
not for half century been drawing from
the population aud culture of the old
world in vain. In this centennial period
it may not be inappropriate to recall to
your memory the actual condition Of this
Territory. A hundred years ago to-day
there was not a settlement of English or
igin within this whole territory; the entire
population did not exceed five thousand at
the close Of the old French and Indian
war in 1868, that resulted in the conquest
Of Canada by Great Britain, and the sur
render Of this whole region as far west as
the Mississippi to British control. There
was probably French population Of about
ten thousand, but so deeply dissatisfied
were they at the change, that they, in large
numbers, emigrated to the lower Missis-
sippi, which was still under French control.
In 1764, Laclede founded st. Louis, and
many went thither. So great was this
change that the Detroit settlement was re-
duced from population of $500 to about
500, and Kaskaskia from fifteen hundred
or two thousand to about five hundred. At
this time, 1775, Detroit the most impOr-
tant town, occupied about three
acres upon the bank of the river,
inclOsed by pickets from u to 25 feet high, |
which were pierced by four gates, defended |
by block houses and guns. 1t was ira
verSed by narrow streets or alleys from 10 |
to Is feet in width. There were from 50 |
to 100 dwellings, all Of logs, except the |
house Of the commandant. 1t contained a |
population of from 800 to 400.
Prof. Walker then sketched the history of |
Detroit, and incidentally of the whole |
northwest territory up to the present day, |
his address with a warm well |
come to all visitors
President Hillyard responded in cordial
and especially referred to the ed |
1catiOnal system of Michigan as ore of /
The most perfect in the world.
Some routine business was transacted /
and then the Secretary announced the /
ieath Of members.

As cold milk. and even boiled milk are
SUppOSed-a [ believe COrrectly-tO act
as laXatiyeS, it may seem extraordinary
tbat new milk, warmed to blood heat,
should have a contrary effect; but sUch un-
dOubtedly it has. Many years AGO l read
IN the London Lancet a letter from an
army physician in India, recommending
warmed milk as a remedy for diaTrhea,
cholera, etc, in which he aveued that he
had even found il to cure cases Of AsiaiiC
cholera. About six years ago l first had
occasion TO put to test the novel p-escTip-
tion, giving my two hundred pound mascu-
line patient, who was suffering from
cholera-morbuS, one pint of warm milk at
short intervals Of about an hour, some
times putting in toasted bread and al other
times a little -four. Five or six quarts
effected a cure, and tiat after other rene
dies had proved Intellectual. Every sum
mer since have had occasion to use the
warm milk more or less as a remedy in
such cases, and have always found it to
succeed.

that the Papacy will seize the opportunity

One company Of troops left here this morn
