Mr.. Howard couples this report and
estimate with the statement that non,
when labor, iron and all other materi-
al is thirty per cent cheaper, the cost
of the road will be correspondingly re-
duced. We entertain no doubt our
selves but that our roads can be con-
structed, here in Texas, at least thirty
per cent below the above estimate.
Mr.. Howard then presents state
ment of the estimated cost of the Dem
yer and Rio Grande Railway, extracted
from the report of j. III. Mersereau,
Engineer, to General w. j. Palmer,
President. The estimates were for a
wide gauge and narrow gauge track,
from Golden City to ~Blackhawk, dis
lance twenty miles; maximum grade
one hundred and seventy-ive feet per
mile; curvature, twenty-six degrees;

These estimates are pregnant with
interest to all of our surrounding coun-
ties, and of greater interest to us. One
ofour most enterprising citizens, whose
interest is second only to that of THE
HERALD in narrow gauge roads. hands
us the following letter, bristling with
such facts as will surely commend 1t to
careful persusal:

New YORK, Feb. l5.-Frederick A.
Dockray, whose case was the cause of
Minister Cushings' demand upon the
Spanish government for Gulllnan re-
lease and the observance Of the treaty of
1795, tells the story of his escape. He
says. November 10th, he was informed
that the Spanish authorities had remanded
him to his old prison. The commandant re-
porting to local officials, he was told that
they had no information on the subject,
Freed from his parole, and not imprisoned

tunity to escape ana ~ Cay break next
morning was on board an Arlerican brig
lying in the harbor. That night he was
carried to a French steamer bound for
Marsielles but was informed that no
passengers would be taken On the fol-
lowing evening, dark and raining, he en-
deavored to board British steamer
While rowing toward the steamer in an
open boat boat shot close up to him, and
one man said that must be the American
who escaped.
The next night he got on board a Brit
ish steamer, but on arriving at Denia, fifty
miles south of Valincio, the captain be
coming alarmed insisted on landing him.
The captain of felucca came on board and,
persuaded by $40 and bottle of brandy,
consented to take Dockray on board. The
felucca sailed for Gibraltar ana eneount-
cred a severe gale which blew for eight
days. Blown over to the African coast
the telucca put in at Tan2ers, in sight OF
Galley's Centa, the nearest approach
he was desticed to make to his prison
