The editorial referred to concludes as
follows:
The railroads of the futnre, particular

will be of the still narrower 6 feet J
gauge The growing popularity of this
track is one OF the most instructive phe

only afew years ago, this narrow-g gauge
system now numbers over 1000 miles in
operation These roads have been built
at a time of general stagnation, when

The Pacific railroads have received
from the Government $4,000, 900 and
220, 600, 600 acres of land.
Thanks to the strict enforcement of q
rigid Maine law, Portland was able last
week to show among her public drunk
ards three boys under twelve.
I The Court OF Claims has set aside the
notorious Cborpenning claim, and de,
cides that the claimant can not recover
under the award of the Postmaster Gen.
eraL A grateful public will be glad to
hear that this scandalous swindle has
received its nnietus.
The quotations OF railroad stocks
show that the stock of the leading lines
of this section is higher than ever be.
fore. Baltimore and Ohio stock has,
during the past few days. reached the
unprecedented figure Of 176, and other
lines are reaching nearly the same fig.
ures.
WhAevor may be the preparations the
hostile Sioux have been making to har.
ass the border settlements, there is now
little danger of such an attack The
Sioux will have all the lighting they
want if the expedition under General
Crook, now on the march from Cheyenne
shall find them under arms.
The German Government, has with.
drawn the order which forbade the ex.
port Of horses--a measure which bears
an eminently peaceful character, and q
proof that the German Government re-
CARDS the new elections in France as a
guarantee of peace.
The Cologne Gazette's correspondent
in the Tyrol states that Austria is seri-
ously preparing for warlike emergencies.
She is mobilizing large body of noun.
tain troops for action in Turkey. The
lines of railway are being examined and
the supply of horses considered.
The envelope makers and printers as
sert that the Government loses $700, 900
a year in the manufacture Of postal
cards, to say nothing of the cost OF car
rving them as mail matter, and they
claim that ii the Government should
abolish stamped envelopes, wrappers
and postal cards, 1t would save S2,500,-
GOO year.
Five young men went TO spiritnalis.
tic seance in Terre Haute the other
night. with lamp black on the palms of
their hands. Then they shook hands
with the materialized spirit that appear
ed, and, after the lights were turned up,
the medium who had been sin trance"
in the cabinet also had lamp black on
her hands.
The broad-gauge roads find their
tracks altogether out of joint with the
rest of the railroad world. The Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad was changel
to narrow,gauge two or three years
ago. The Erie is LAYING third rail, and
the Delaware and Lackawanna Road is
about to change its tracks and rolling
stock at q cost of S1,250,000. The
work will be done during the present
season, while travel is light and the
shops are idle.
Gov. Ames is not likely to receive
much sympathy from the Republican
press during his Impeachment trial
Thus the Hartford Post says: ut looks
as if both Gov. Ames and his Lieuten.
ant, Davis, would have to go. The
House has voted to impeach them, and
the latter is to be tried immediately.--
The trouble with Mr. Ames is that his
course has not been such as to win the
sympathy of those among whom he
will expect to receive the honors Of mar
tyrdom."
