200 LOCOMOTIVES d!
THE BALDWIN WORKS TO FILL THE
LARGEST ORDER EVER GIVEN.

The Philadelphia Record says that
several months ago the Baldwin Loco.
motive Company was requested by the
syndicate which is constructing the
Mexican National Narrow Guage Rail.
road, and which includes such well
known fnanciors as Jay Gould, Palmer
and Sullivan, to furnish plans and speci.
tications for some powerful locomotives.
This request was followed by pre-
liminary order for freight engines,
which were shipped few weeks ago.
Further negotiations then ensued, and
now tho firm has been advised that it
will be awarded the contract for 200
locomotives, to be shipped as called for,
the understanding being that the entire
order is to be delivered by the end OF
1882.
The total value Of this contract is
placed at 81, 100000. Operations will
at once be commenced on between
thirty and forty of the locomotives
which are to be employed in hauling
material for the construction Of the
lines. In consequence Of the number
OF steep grades which are upon the
plan, the engines will be built after
specifications which will make them
the most powerful locomotives ever
turned out OF the works. Of the bal.
ance of the order more than one.hali
are to be passenger locomotives of the
same strength. The Mexican National
Railroad will have two lines-one from
the City of Mexico to Laredo, Texas,
on the Rio Grando River, and another
from the City of Mexico TO Manzanillo
and the Pacific Ocean. Another line
to the Gulf of Mexico is also proposed
The plans already adapted call for the
construction of one thousand miles OF
road.
Another Mexican railroad is also
afTording work to the employees Of the
firm. This is the Mexican Central, for
which thirty locomotives are in course
Of construction, in addition 10 half a
dozen which were shipped some time
ago. This IS only portion Of the
moving power which the road will
need, and additional contracts from the
same source are anticipated during the
year.
Whether Philadelphia is also to show
her ability in turning out the freight
and passenger cars Tor the two roads
is question which is yet to be decided.
Some of the freight cars for the Mexi.
can National have been built in York,
Pa; but it is understood that a con.
tract for no less than five thousand is
yet to be given out, and the chances

Mr.. A. II. Newcomer, Secretary of

They have been more successful this

Summer"

The school.house stood beside the way,
A shabby building, old and gray,
With rattling sash, and loose-hung door,
Aud rough. uneven walls and hoori
And why the little homespun crew
II gathered were some ways more blest
Than others, you would scarce have guessed !
II is secret known to few,
IN tell It out. The highroad lay
Stretched all along the township hill,
whence the broad land sloped either way,
And smiling up did strive TO hll
AZ every window, every door,
Ihe sehool-house, with that gracious lore
That Code fair world would iain instill.
So softly, quietly, Il came.
The ehildfen never knew lie name;
Its various, unobstrucied looks,
They counted not az study books;
And yet they could not liit an eye
From play or labor drsamily,
And not 6nd written 10 sweetest speech
The tender lesson Il would teach:
BE gentle, children, brave, and true,
And know the great God lovsth you"
Only the teacher, wise Of heart,
Divined the landscapes blessed art
And when she felt the lag and stir
OF her young idlsrs fretting her,
Out ganeing DER meadows wide,
The ruling woods, the far hillside,
She drew fresh breath Of Code free gracs,
A gentler look came in her face,
Her kindly voice caught in its own
An echo Of that pleasant tone
In which the great world sang its song
"Be cheerful, patient, still, and strong"
