Changing the Gauge.

Railway Register.l
When the gauge of the Southern
railways conforms to that of the other
railways of the country, the last yes
tige of provincialism in that great
section will be swept away. The Ohio
river may seem a barrier, but the
bridges at Cincinnati, and those soon
to be completed at Henderson and
Cairo, will triumphantly overcome
the obstacle, and railway trains will
be ruh from one end of the land to
the other.
When the South has more cotton
mills and foundries; when coal and
iron is utilized by steel rail mills and
iron works; when the forests are be-
ing turned into articles of export,
implements and tools; when the great
sugar districts are all brought under
thorough cultivation; when corn and
wheat are alternated with cotton, and
clover restores the tired soil; when
new railway lines are made necessary
to accommodate the increased volume
of traffic; when gardens and vineyards
deck the plain and ornament the val
leys; when the pastures of the Blue
Ridge are dotted with hocks; when
new cities spring into existence in the
Southeast; then will the world under
stand what glorious prosperity and
wealth is the heritage Of the South,
and will soon be possessed by it.
And its railways will be Joint par
Elephants in the gains that will reward
the workers.

"A Hard Row 10 Hoe. :.

Memphis Appeal.
The Democrats must make an earn
est effort to preserve the present
handsome majority in the House of
representatives. There are in the
present House 1913 Democratic mem
b RS and l24 Republican members
democratic majority "A. A tabular
statement of the close districts in
various States, compiled from Spot
ford's Political Manual, shows that in
thirty-fve districts the Democrats
had in 1882 pluralities or majorities
not exceeding 1000. In fourteen of
these the Democratic plurality was
500 or less. 1t thus appears that to
control the House the Republicans
must hold their l24 districts, carry
all the districts wherein the Demo-
cratic majority two years ago did not
exceed 1000, and win three addition
al districts. TO correctly understand
tho situation, il should be considered,
also, that in thirty one districts the
Republican pluralities or majorities
in 1882 were not above 1900; and in
seventeen district, the Republican
pluralities fell below 500. it is plain
from this that the Republicans have
a hard row to hoe, and that while the
Democrats have great deal in their
favor, they will have 20 he mp early
and stay up late to keep the majority
they have.

The Railroad Shops.

The location OF the M. & n. o
Railroad shops is the most impor
tant question before the people of
Vicksburg just now. The city must
secure them if possible to do so by
reasonable means, and every effort in
that direction should be made. The
place needs them,and will have them
if it is possible to get them. Suppose
the Board of Aldermen appoint a
committee Of, say seven, composed of
progressive and intelligent represen
natives of the different financial and
commercial inter ests of the city, to
draft the most liberal proposition the
city can afford to make to the rail
road company, their suggestion, if
the Board cannot agree upon it, to
be submitted to mass meeting of
the citizens of the town, for ratitica.

Advantage ofHaiIroad Shops.

To illustrate the benefit TO be de
rived from the location of Railroad
shops in or near a city,we Learn from
a prominent railroad man that the
Illinois Central Railroad shops loo =
ted at Holly Springs are now ems
ploying over 500 men, more than
two thirds of them being frst-class
mechanics, who command and receive
good wages. They have built COM
plete in the last two years about 30
new locomotives and 1900 cars. THE
two locomotives recently built, 90
direct to Chicago. The work is
classed as A l. Those now being
built are 40 ton locomotives. They
are increasing their works all the
time, and by January LIST they expect
10 have 1000 men. The managers
OF the road have made a thorough
test of the cost of building locomo>
tives, and fnd that those built there
by them are better and cheaper than
they can buy at any other place.

4 New Electric signal.

'', 4 n 'I,.sjt in the way of electric
railroad signals is shown by work
ing model at No. n Congress street,
and is well worthy the attention Of
railroad managers. There are several
systems ofelectric signals tor protect
ing trains from dangers, aud the
"blook SYSTEM" by which the road l.,
divided into sections, each complete
in itself, and having its danger signal
scattered along the road at certain
points, is the most perfect. All these
systems, however, depend upon the
eyesight of the engineer of each train
for their effective working, and in
case Of a binding snow storm Or an
impenetrable fog, the engineer may
be unable to see the danger signal IN
time to stop his train before it crashes
into another train, or thrown from the
track by some obstruction. BY the in
vention now under consideration, no
matter how thick the snow-storm or
how dense the fog, the engineer is
told in his cab whether the track is
clear or not. The apparatus consists
of generator of electricity placed on
the engine and connected with the
rails by suitable device to convey
the electric current to the generator.
In the cab over the head OF the engi-
neer, is placed a gong and target,
which works as follows: When
train is entering a section of road, if
tracks are clear, the rails all in place,
the switches and drawbridges all
closed, the gong will ring a safety
signal; but should there be a train or
hand-car, or any obstruction upon the
track, a switch or drawbridge open,
the gong will strike danger signal
and the target will appear before the
eyes Of the engineer, upon which are
the words danger! Stop" and this
target will remain at danger until the
entrance is made Oh the next section,
when it returns to safety, ready for
the next signal. Another most impor-
tant feature is that all switches and
drawbridges are locked by the train
Immediately upon entering the sec
ton where such switches or draw
bridges exist, and cannot be opened
by the switchman or draw tender uu-
til the train has passed, so that no
train can be thrown from the track by
a switch being open, after the safety
signal has been given to the engineer
before entering the section, and be-
fore he can reach the switch or draw
bridge.

navigation IN the seventeenth century.
Jonathan Hull's an Englishman, de-
scribes a steam wheel propelled by an
atmospheric engine, and several attempts
IN the same direction were made in
Franco, but it was not until 1856 that
success was attained. In that year John
Fitch, of Pennsylvania, successfully
navigated skif by steam, and in the
following year Rumsee, of Virginia, al.
tanned speed of three miles an hour on
She Potomac. After that great MANY
ventures were more or less successful.

person and the quickest method Of
restoring the apparently drowned.
In last years class sixty:seven we're
unable to swim a stroke when they
reported for their first lesson. Be
fore the summer was over every one
of that number could swim across
the Hudson river, and some of them
could swim back again. The river is
three-quarters of a mile wide at that
point. The class is taught all the
motions of sw inning in the gym

when they get into the water they
have comparatively little to learn.
