THE RAILWAY UP VEsUvIUs.-The most extra
ordinary railway in the world perhaps, has
now been completed. 1t Is a line up the slopes
OF Mount VeSuvtuS, from the level OF the Nea-
poitan Bay to the very edge of the crater. Not
so many years ago such project would have
been rdiculed as the very last outcome of fanati-
clSm-aS who should suggest terminus at
Pompeii or a good station among the marble
ruins of Olympia? Yet it has been done. and
VeSuviuS has been scaled from foot to summit
by the iron legion. The construction of the
line, Of course, has been peculiar; it is laid
upon solid pavement OF masonry, believed to

ful traction engine at either end, and the meth
eds of draught are by steel ropes working on
grooved wheels; and should these break there is
scarcely a possibility of the train receding down.

distance. For these details we are indebted to
the Dtrttto, s Of Turin. Turin. That journal
miniature railway is, 1t may prove an
exceedingly profitable speculation, considering
the perpetually increasing numbers of tourists
from the New World and all parts OF the Old,
who flock to that scene and center of historical
na&Iyeis. If. however. for the very facts OF its
conception and construction alone, the We
suvian railway would be entitled to rank among
nineteenth century, it is not to be compared
with the gigantic Alpine works. They were
called for; this, in many senses, was not; it has
supplied convenience while they met great
international necessities. But it is a character
istic of the age that can answer both demands,
root up an oak or pick up needle; and the
small line that crawls up Vesuvius is, perhaps,
not less an emblem of the epock than the mon
ster span which bridges Niagara.-[London
