North America, through banking houses, in the past twenty-three years, is np less than £16,334,000, or about $81,500,000. Upon this vast sum-the amount paid for exchange could not have been less than $0,580,000, while under the agreed postal rates it would have been a little over $2,000,000—a saving to emigrants o' itj-iui $4,500,000- Last year our Sritfeh -imigrants sent over $3,087,040, and the isav ing on that,. under the order system fiil troiild havebeen nearly

Unfortunately,' the advocates pf. narrow gauge roads deal ik- glittering generali-ties,-but do not deign to tell us just1 how these wonderful-results are to be accomplished. •We hear a great deal about1 the "Farley" engine, and the impression is sought to be made that this machine, .its adapted to the narrow gauge, has been endowed with_ some occult power, quite out of proportion to its weight. It ican dsn- clinab gradients ana turn curves, far beyond the limits of ordinary locomotive?.

This kind of "stuff" may accomplish the purpose of deceiving the public,: but in vestigating, practical men know that the power of locomotives is proportional to their weight thatjthe driving wheels are not tnade to adhere to the rails by any mysterious.. force, but atmply by their own and the superincumbent weight, and that it is not possibles to get any liiore power out of an engine, hower ingeniously the machine may be contrived. It then ., follows, simply, that a well constructed •""'^engine, often tuns weight, will pull jju'st half as much as one weighing twenty tuns, •isH and just one third as muchas one weighing tlurtytuns. It will be seen, .then, that a •siXt ten tun engine must traverse the road 'i three times, before it will have hauled as much gross weight as the thirty tun engine can take at one trip. Of this there surely can be no question. .But it is claimed that cars, adapted to the narrow gauge, need not be so heavy in proportion to the paying freight, as on the wider gauge of four feet eight and half inches. Although, in a popular ^article, it may not be so easy to show the impalpable fallacy of this assertion,'as in the case of the locomotive, still there is not in my mind the slightest doubt that a rigid scientific and practical investigation wobld prove beyond all question, i: 4 Jthat this, also, is an error, and that the -it-r.^weight of well constructed cuts -bears nearly a fixed relation to the tUDnage „^they are designed to carry, the variance from this ratio, if any, being against the narrow gauge. In a narrow gauge car, planned to hold and carry safely one half the load of a similar car adapted to the standard gauge, it can be shown conclulively, that the bearing timbers, bolts and bars of iron proportioned to weigh but half as much as the corresponding pieces of the larger car, will noi be half a? strong ?kM/l mil at ^MIA aj) iL.

hnd what is true in regard to the main supports, will be very nearly true in reference to the whole.

The great deception in regard to this matter arises from the circumstance that cars are not now built sufficiently strong merely for the business of the roads to which they belong, but they are made strong and heavy to resist the rough usage incident to long journevs, over connecting lines, quite beyond'the control of the officers of the roads to which they belong. 1/ it were admissible to confine the rolling stock of well-conducted roads to their own lines, I have no doubt the weight of cars lnight be safely reduced at least twenty-five per cent. But in all constructions, whether of bridges or cars, experience has proved, beyond all question the propriety of providing a large sumlus of strength, in order to guard against accidents, which result in loss of life and in heavy damages. Most of our ""Western roads having been greatly improved since their construction, it is quite probable that the cars now in use are unnecessarily heavy for the loads allowed them but if this

Js true, the proper, economical rem"®dy is to authorize heavier loads, and thus cheapen the cost of transportations.

Trusting that a little reflection and investigation will fully expose the fallacy of all the high sounding claims of the narrow gauge speculation, and guard us against the folly of wasting our time and money in the further consideration of the subject, I will venture to make some remarks in regard to the project of another railroad communication with Cincinnati. Upon general principles we could not object to any number of roads from Terre Haute to Cincinnati, or to tilmost any other place, provided parties interested will furnish the means to build them. But when it is proposed that we shall incur a large debt to aid such enterprises, we may properly inquire wuet{ier

they expected the Paris

ians are realizing the injurious effects of their bitter and senseless anti-German policy. Manufacturers and dealers in the French capital have discovered that the (,-s«non-employment of the patient and deft skilled artisans of Germany is likely to injure France much more than the new ^Teutonic Emperor. Not only have lapidaries, engravers, manufacturers of laces, ,delicate embroiderers and artificial flow era become scarce, but the profitable bus—inesa in these once famous Parisian pro-

Muctions has, in a great measure been transferred to Berlin.

Kail Road Interests of Terre Ha lute: Editok Express:—Perhaps

enough

lias already been published in regard to narrow gauge railroads. The whole question of "their utility and eligibility,seems to be regarded as settled, upon the authority of the "Scientific American," a' in which they are pronounced *'practicable." Surely nobody doubted that. :Xhe wide six and seven feet gauges were practicable. So was the Great Eastern, and so were plank roads^ at least for a short time. But the "Scientific American" does not say -that narrow gauge rail rbads are eligible, nor that they tire adapted-to a (.?»«general railroad traffic

that would be the best disposition of our limited means. Let us examine this matter a little. In the first place it will not be overlooked that we have already two first class roads to Indianapolis, and several thereto running in

one might S^pp«e, ihilp'* lion with tnU city for all ever. If these weUajgjoi equipped roads, running in opposition to each other, do not compete sufficiently to reduce freights to a minimum, what can we expect from anew road, located across the great hills and deep valleys, of eastern Greene, Monroe and Brqwn counties? It is claimed-that the new road would be thirty miles shorter than either of those now ina&peration, but this is .By refeReaee tojthesmaij'dt *ill be^eefe ttrtktthefe «an nbt be a"greiter difference than ten or fifteen, miles, and then if the proper equation be made for curves and grades, it is quite probable the relative distance wonld considerably excecd that of the lines now in use.

Besides this, canwe reasonably expect to have any more influence over the Contemplated road if built,' than we now liave over the others? Of course, its manigement would pass qtiite out of our control, and it would be i*uri,jis other-roadg are, in the interest of its .owners. Ii will be •pertinent in the next place,- to-mqiure what valuable trade we may deriyje from the proposed-road? and in answer to that question, it only necessary to wler to merchants' sales to see how for their trade extends eatl of Terre Hau&apd how far west, south and north. It will be' found that Tefre Hanle is quite neattlw eaatern cumference of the circle -andr thift"being true of every towoo£fcnportarice in the West, it may be assumed as a iaio of trade not likely to be changed.

When it was proposed that the Council of Terre Haute should appropriate two hundred thousand dbllars tb aid in the building of a railroad from this place to Chicago, .^nd southeast, to Bloomfield in Greene'county, ^-appeared to be proper that the petition should be granted and we have onlf tQTregrefe that 'thfcbi'ganiza tion south of Terre Haute ^fij^fchtis far /ailed to place itself attitude td receive. the amattafr promptly granted The northern Company, atecepting the proffer ed* assistance, tindgj: I the prudent and efficient management of its President,- Josephs*: Collet,

that thi

pnStion nati scheme, as soon ap twenty or tw^rtyfive miles ^f narrow gauge rbad£ shall have been opened, so that cars may h%uled qver. it and of ppurse ifhen the ^erre Haute bonds have been, handed over, our little Interest will be mortgaged together with other assets of the com jguiy^ to enable it to Mwe*in kkd man ner similar grants and donations. I am quite familiar with the country southeast of Terre Haute. There are no strums of iniportance to cross within twenty miles, And the slopes are so gradtial that I

feel confident the grading and bridgin would not cost over two thousand dollar per mile Upon that basis the following' estimate is made:

Giving $149,990 as the cost of twenty miles of road laid with light iron, but on the standard gaugo^ With these figures beftre us, the question would naturally arise whether it would not be better to add some fifty thousand dollars to the appropriation, and own road th&t we could lease out to be run in the Sntere^of Terre Haute.

by applying our means to the dev.elop ment of a country, between which and Terre Hatitfe, there is a natural reciproc ity of interest. Southwest of Terre Haute, stretching across to the Mississippi river at' Grand Tower, there is a country of great fertility and large present production, whose people would find it to their inter&t to trade extensively .in Terre

THaute

and shi|) their products this way, on the most direet ana eligible route, to eastern markets. Matty of our citizens have passed over, the country south, on the west side of the Wabash river and know the scope of country referred to embraces a portipn of (the mostbeautjfal and roductive land in the State of Illinois^ or the transportation to market of the very large production of this region, there is no other dependence now than .the nncertfcin natigation ofi the Wabash river. But it cannot be expect ed that this state of things will. long exist,'and itJ seems to me of paramount importance that we should move in the matter without: delay and .occupy the ground before it is too late.

I have suggested Grand Tower, on the Mississippi river, as a point to which this road should be directed, for the reason that at thijp place there are high rock bluffs and a rock' bottom entirely across the.river, affording extraordinary facilities for the construction of a cheap and permanent bridge. And here, also, there is Uttle doubt Ui^^a cite- pf imposing magnitude '%ill be ^rapidly built up. Crossing the river at this point, we strike in the direction of Little Book, Arkansas, and thence into Texas, connecting with her roads, and also with the Southern Paaific.

It is not expected that Terre Haute can do very much towards the accomplish* ment of this extended scheme, but she can Start it, with one or two hundred thousand dollars, and then, I feel assured, that with local subscriptions along the line, together With for6l£n aiJ, the enterprise may be carried through at no very distant day.

Apologizing to the Devil. 1

Frem the Troy Times,] 1 Rowland Hill was always annoyed when there happened any noise to divert the attention of his. hearers from what he was saying. On one occasion, a few days before his death, he was preaching to one of the most congregations that ever assembled to hear him. In the middle of his discourse he observed a combination in the gallery. For some time he took no notice of it but finding it increasing, he paused in his sermoA, and looking in the direction in which the conftuion prevailed, he exclaimed "What's the matter there? The devil seems to be among you." A plain, countrv-looking man immediately start to his feet, and addressing Hill in reply, said: "No, air it ara'nt the devil
