Mr.. Horace Days speculation at Nj

Iron Cross Ties.

The great and increasing cost Of wooden
railway cross ties il directing the atten-
tion of managers In two directions.-.to
the cultivation Of more durable timber,
and TO the use Of iron. We have alluded
to the fact that iron ties are being tried
on the Central Pacific Railway. A
treatise has just been published In Eng
land, setting forth the great advantages
Of wroughtiron in the construction OF
the permanent way for railways The
author argues its superiority over timber
and points out the collateral advantage
that It's adoption would Be the signal for
revival of activity in the iron districts,
whose stagnstion has seriously affected
the railway interest. He recommends
Hills system, which Is already adopted
on thousand miles OF rail, and he states
that the eleepers have been contracted
for in Germany at about rs per ton
The system, IL is further claimed, Is sim
plc, exact and economical. Its main
tenance costs about one third that OF the
ordinary permanent way. The guage y
maintained under violent strains, and all
its parts are Of unlimited durability,
with the exception Of the rail itseii:;
Another recommendation Is increased
security Of traffic, ne perishable parts
beipc used in construction. Tho system
has found great favcr on the continent,
where many of the great lines adopt It.
The Osceola times., 1877-05-19

1tprobably is not generally appreciated,
says the Chicago Age, that the United States,
with population less than that OF Germany,
has more miles OF railways than all seven Of
these great powers combined, our mileage
being nearly eighty thousand, against
seveniy.six thousand six und' ed and
twenty.
The extraordinary measures which
Great Britain is taking in the matter of get
ting her vessels OF war in readiness for i'm.
mediate service are not Of character to
allay the fears Of those Englishmen who be.
lieve that their country is drifting into a
war in which ii will need to put forth all its
energies to escape defeat. II England is TO
be drawn into the war, she is not making
any too great haste in her preparations.
The condition Of affairs is greatly changed
since the Crimean war. Russia is much
more powerful than she then was; while
England will have to fight the battle single
handed which she fought in coDjunctio on
with France twenty years ago.
a cable dispatch conveys the intelli.
gence Of the death of Henry Sawyer, for
twenty three years U. s. consul Of Pari.
maribo. colony Of Surinam, South America.
The immediate cause of his death was injury
received few days before at the hands Of a
sailor of whom, in his official capacity, Saw
yer had been called upon to take cognizance.
The sailor struck him a violent blow and
otherwise maltreated him, inicting such
internal injuries as TO result in his death.
At the time Semmes was in command OF the
privsteer Sumter he put in at Surinam for
coal and supplies. Sawyer quietly bought
up all the coal in the city, 80 that the rebel
commander was unable to get a lump. A
planter offered to furnish Semmes with q
quantity which he had on his sea-shore es.
tate, whereupon Sawyer hired all the scows,
