\ Crazy Candidate.

Rev. H. { Munson the Uniyersalist clergyman
OF Skowhegan, who was nominated the other day
as the Greenback candidate for Governor, is car
rying on a correspondence with Pig Iron Kelley
of Pennsylvania. Une OF the clergymcn's letters
written since the railroad riots began, furnishes
very curious reading. The writer says he has
sympathy large as Christ's for the million of
farmers and laborers," aud that 81 was born to
feel others woes more keenly than my own" 1t

Fighting All Around.

To Judge from the news conveyed in our
special dispatches, says the New York
Herald, the belligerents are having pref
ty lively time of 1t in Bulgaria and
Roumelia, and are preparing to reopen
the ball again in Armenia. 1t is unfortu-
nate that war news travels very slowly in
the theatre of war, else we would have
more of thoss interesting details which
form the chief attractive feature of the
war news to our readers. OF the renewed
battle near Rustchuk all we learn is that
Turk and Russian are fighting it out
with desperate determination, the
one TO relieve the beleaguered town and
the other TO maintain the wall of fire that
encircles II. 1t is even stated that the
Czarowitch is retreating to the Jantra.
1t seems that heavy fighting is again in
progress at PIevna. and although the Turks
claim victory at that point they concede
the probability that the combat will be re-
that newed again to-day. There is no doubt

at the same time that their wages shall

The Murderer of the Joyce Chill
drcn.

The nurlalcr Of the Joyce children in Bussey
woods, at West RoXbury, Mass, in Jane, 1865, is,
according to the Boston Common wealth, buried
on Gaoupe'S Island in Boston H1rbor lie was
% at the time of the murder, but soon after took
to drink and drfted to Chicago, and in one Of his
maudlin periods confessed the murder to com
panion, but denied it when sober. Two Boston
detectives, who were notified, went to Chicago,
gained his confidence, and for six weeks applied
every art to make him convict himself, but though
he repeatedly confessed and described the deed
when drunk he always denied it when SOBER and
not one particle Of corroborative evidence could
be found, and it was thought useless to arrest
him. Finally he drifted back to Boston, died OF
small poy during the epsemic of 1873, and was
buried in the Gaoupe's Island cemetery. This is
satisfactory the other theories of the murder
and not mole so.
The railway Age, of Chicago, publishes a state
ment of the extent of railway building in the
United States during the last six months, which
shows that up to July |, 1854 miles of track had
been laid, as against $50 miles in the same period
in 1876; 400 in 1875, and $50 in 1874. In every
year noted, the track laying of the first six months
was from one-third to one-ffth only Of that OF
the year. This points to a mileage of 5000 miles
or more of new track in 1877. The Railway Age
says; "a very notable feature is the amount Of
narrow-gauge track, all three feet except one
the Philadelphia q Atlantic City, three feet and
one-hslf). OF the 705 q miles built, 2S3, or ov II
40 per cent. is of this class-a pretty good ev l.
dence that the narrow-gauge theory has Inherent
merit and is destined TO form a very i'm oitant
portion of our railway system, in spite of Ii op =
position of some who can see no good in any
gauge but the standard. We believe in both IN
their appropriate spheres. The cost of railway
building was never SO low now, and yet it costs
great deal of money to build railways of any
kind, in any times. The economy of narrow
gauge roads has generally been overraed, and
the extremely low figures anticipated by some
have seldom been adhered to. On the other hand
the enormous rate Of from 900 to 100000
per mile at which our principal lines were former
y built has been greatly reduced for the best
roads of late years. 1t will, perhaps, be fair to
estimate the average cost of the roads in the above
list of both gauges, including equipment, a, $l2,-
600 per mile"
