A Chance for New Castle.
A. VERY NARROW HUAGE RAIL
= te'f H .3aar ROAM. astN a..

The narrowest Of narrow -guage rail-
roads Is now In operation between North
Billerica and Bedford. in Massachusetts,
distance of eight aud a half miles.
The track is only ten inches wide. A
Boston correspondent of the New York
Euening Express says Ben. Butler took
one-fiftieth of the entire stock Of this
road, the whole amount being $4,000.
The protector or inventor Of this road is
named George e. Mansfield, who is a
practical wood and iron machiuist and an
engineer. There are eleven bridges on
the route of this road over one hundred
feet long. The rail weighs twenty-five
pounds to the yard, though 1t Is believed
chat twenty pounds to the yard would be
sufficient. One grade on the road is 155
| feet. The cars and engines of the road
are very well proportiored and present a
handsome appearance. The engine is
behind the tender and next to the cars,
so that when the train moves the car
next to the engine draws down upon and
| increases the adhesion of the engine 10
the track. Both engine and cars are con-
strurted so as to be very near the ground,
thus giving great advantages in regard to
safety, also very little oscillation. The
cars have an aisle with one seat on each
side, in the same manner as ordinary cars
have TWO seats. The length OF the cars
allow thirty seats, each person having a
seat tn himself. The cars are warmed
with steam, well ventilated, have closets,
water tank, all modern Improvements,
Westinghouse brakes, etc. They weigh
but four tons and half, ordinary cars
weighing on an average eighteen tons.
Hence Mansfield will carry sixty persons
with cars weighing nine tons, while or
dinary roads must draw eighteen tons to
carry fifty-six persons The engines are
equally light and less costly than on or
binary roads. 1t is quite evident that a
road eight and half miles long, which
cost equipped $3.50 less than $4,000
and which can be run for half the ex-
pense of ordinary roads, must be grcai
and notable achievement. The road cosl
$4,000 per mile, the right of way free
The trains run about twenty miles al
hour. Engines weigh about eight tons
and draw Two passenger aud two freigh
cars twice per day each way, at cost fo
coal of only one-fourth that of ordinary
engines. This must be acknowledged tC

GOOD STORY TOLD OF ANDREW
-------'. - e.-------.--.-..

When Andrew Jackson was yeunE
man attending court at Rogersville,
Tennessee, he lived at @ hotel famous
for its good cheer. One dsy, as he sat
on the piazza, q youth came riding
along dressed In the pink of fashion,
his eyes hxed on Vacancy, replying
custom ofthe times for strangers to
give each other! At q glance j acksou
saw the Top coming, and determined
toIplay the part of Boniface. He well
coined the silent stranger with distia-
guishsd poiiteness, and the company
about the fire made room for him.
But the automatiopwas not to be won
to conversation. He walked up and
down the room contemplating his
own graces, and presently exclaimed:
Landlord, want supportp Super
was spread and stately youth devour-
ed it. Then he resumed his walk, an
swered not q word to the remarks of
the freside circle of lawyers and
judges, and jackson grew more aad
more wrath full. Landlord, >. want

aud he added. 81 want Q room to
myself" Jackson represented that
the house was full, and there was NO
single room to be had; the young fel-
low was not to be moved. jackson
disappeared, and shortly returped, an
nonncing that the guests room was
ready. The two went off through the
front door, all the company following
and stopped-at the corn-crib through
the cracks of which o light was shin-
ing. "There's your room,'' said jack
son. "Do you wish to insult me, siri'
"No insult at all, sir. You vowed
you woald not sleep in q room with
anyone. There 1t is, sir" II vow l

"By the Eternal you shalll' exclaimed
jackson, and grabbing the youth sent
him at one toss into the crib, and
locked the door. Aud there he staid
all plight, and in the morning he was
released and dismissed breakfastless
by the impetuous Jackson. This is q
tale related by an ancient lady OF

One conviction follows swift upon the

does not take long to pull down rotten
building when its foundations have been

heartily into the reform spirit of the day
aud to appreciate the necessity of max
ing examples of the offenders that shall
be remembered in South Carolina for all

THE SILVER QUESTION.

What is a Dollar?-A Rerie,u Of the
Facts about Coinage.
70 the Editor of the Times:
In discussing the 'dollar Of our dad
dies'' question it is the habit to stop at
the year 1902, when the United States
Mint was established. We had both
"daddies" and s'dollars" for century
before that period, although our money
of account until then was pounds, shil-
lings and pence. In order to make clear
what dollar is or was it is therefore ne
cessary to answer the oft-repeated ques-
tion, "Wnat is pound?" Originally a
pound weight of silver, divided into
twenty shillings, it was so debased by
successive coinages that during the whole
of our colonial times the pound weight
of silver was divided into sixty-two
shillings, thus making the money pound
less than one-third of its original value.
Spain, like England, reduced the weight
of her coins, but to greater degree, and
Tho pound weight of silver found itself
reduced to what was called New York
shilling, or twelve and half cents.
These units were so small for the purpo-
ses of general commerce that the Span
ish-American miuts coined them into
"pieces of eights" or "dollars," aud these
dollars, long the coins of foreign trade,
were of the exact value of four and a
half English shillings, sixty-two to the
pound weight of silver. AT that rate the
dollars, with their subdivisions, circulat-
ed throughout the colonies. When an
independent coinage was established un-
dor the Constitution in 1892 it was dis
covered tha most of the Spanish Coins
circulating here were clipped and worn,
their average weight being reduced about
eight per cent, and that average being
assumed the first silver dollar issued from
our mint was worth only about 92 cents
| in comparison with the previous dollar
