The celebrated trial of locomotive
engineers upon the Liverpool & Man

termining the relative advantage Of
stationary and locomotive power upon
such roads. was had in 1929, and re-
suited in favor Of the latter. In Red
fields Practical Treatise upon the Lar
Of Railroads, the author says in rela-
ton TO their origin: Although some Of
the Roman roads, like the Appian
WAY. were a somewhat near approach
to the modern railway, being formed
into continuous plane surface by
means If Llocks Of stone closely fitted
together, yet they were. in the prin-
ciple of construction and operation,
essentially different from railways.
The idea of distinct track for the
wheels of carriages does not seem TO
have been reduced to practice
until late into the seventeenth
century. In 1876 some account
is given of the transportation Of
Goals, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, upon
a very imperfect railway, by means OF
rude Carriages. whose wheels run upon
some kind of rails OF timber. About
one hundred years afterwards, an iron
railway is said to have been constructed
and pat into operation at the colliery
near Sheffield. From this time they
were put into very extensive use for
conveying coal. stone and other like
substances short distances. in order TO
reach nayigable waters. and sometimes
near the cities where large quantities
of stone were needed for building pur-
poses.
These railways. built chiefly By the
owners of coal mines and stone quar-
ries, either upon their own land or By
special license. called way-leave. upon

The. Tariff.

To reduce the tariff will not mak e wheat one cent higher,-nor corn, nor beef, nor any other agricultural pre- duct It will make nothing cheap, I for the farmer, for the prices he pays depend far more on other causes than
 n the tariff. Coffee and tea are case in point. They used to pay duty, md what the free traders called 9 heavy, an outrageous one. Congress removed that duty some eight or ten years ago, and put coffee and tea on the free list. Yet coffee and tea are as high to-day as they were before tn luty was taken off Several causes contribute to this, the chief one being he profits made by the middle men Tea and coffee go through at least halt dozen hands before they reach the farmer; each one of these half dozeli must make profit, and the farmer pays these intermediate profits. So il would be in any other case.

According to : the San Francisco
 Eramimer, Paul Riecker, a wei known surveyor formerly of Tucson figures very conspicuously in littl' scandal at Los Angeles Rieckel made love to charming widow who's, mama IS very wealthy; the widow re ciprocated his affection and againsr the wishes of her mother left her home and married Riccker. Within three hours after her marriage with Dor Paul she returned to her mothers arms and sobbingly asked to be for given, as she no longer loved her hus- band. Mir. Rieckerwent to the house wherein he claimed his bride was i'm prlsoned, but she refused to. return with him to the pretty little cottage he had prepared for his wife. So the matter stands: Gossips say he wanted the mothers money, the newly made wife repentant, and the old mother joyful.
