THE LESSON TAUGHT Us BY THE

People are taught one grand lesson by
visiting Philadelphia. 1t affects the mag
nitude and power of our country and the
littleness and weakness of these Southern
States and the comparative potency and
imperial greatness of Texas. But even this
local empire of ours sinks into insgnifi-
canoe when contrasted with the grandeur
and glory OF the American Union, and at

majesty of each to impress the bthnlder,
We are compelled to feel that the Quilted

RAILWAY builders, ana especially those
who think Austin unable TO construct even
narrow gauge twenty five miles towards
Lampasas, should know that mode of
making narrow gauge iron has been devised
by winch it is as valuable and useful as the
best formerly made and has only half the
weight. The cost, therefore, of con-
strucinG narrow gauge road is very
greatly lessened and its utility and durabil-
ity are not. In view of these facts, since
the proposed highway need not cost more
than $500, perhaps not more than
$500 per mile, it might be well for those
who have received subscriptions to investi-
gate the facts referred to and then begin
ia the proposed task de nOoO. This road
