The 'flange of tlio Railwnys or tlic Fu
tni'c. . .
TTnder this head Mr. It. P. Fairlio, ono
of the ablest of English civil engineers,
publishes an important article in the
Engineer for September 23, in which he
argues with great force and clearness
that " every inch added to the width of
a gauge beyond what is absolutely nec
essary for the traffic adds to the cost of
construction, increases the proportion of
dead weight, increases the cost and dan
ger of working, and in consequence in
creases the tariffs to the public, and by
so much reduces the useful effect of rail
ways ;" and that, taking the average of
the circumstances under which railways
are built, the cost will be found to vary
nearly as the gauge." lie asserts that
English railways have been built in ila
prant violation of these principles, and
illustrates his argument in favor of nar
rower gauges by an analysis of the busi
ness of the London and Northwestern
Railway, the good management of which
is "universally admitted." He bIiows
that "if the gauge of this road were 3
feet instead of 4 feet KJ inches, its goods
traffic could bo hauled at half tlio pres
ent cost, with half the present motive
power, and in such a way as to reduce
the present tonnage by one-half, and to
remove the necessity for the heavy ex
pense that is now being incurred in tho
construction of a third lino of rails.''
The goods traffic) on this road is estima
ted at ten million tons per annum, re
quiring seventy million tons of train
weight to haul it J but in order to avoid
all risk of exaggeration, Mr. Fairlio es
timates the dead weight at forty million
tons, and the wholo gross weight hauled
by the engines at titty million tons, at
an average speed of twenty-five miles
an hour. The average distance trav
ersed by each ton is about thirty-eight
miles, at an average cost of 1 Jd. per ton.
The cars employed average lour tons in
weight, and carry ono ton for every mile
run.
The speed in each case up to forty
miles per hour is assumed as being equal.
The cars for a line of three f .t eauze
weigh each one ton, and carry a maxi
mum load of three tons. Supposing
that the same number of cars and trains
were run on the narrow as on the broad
gauge, it follows that the average one
ton of merchandise now carried could
easily be taken in a car weighing one
ton instead of four tons, and that the
gross load passing: over the line for one
year would be only twenty million tons
instead of fifty million, while the same
amount of paying load would be carried
in cither case. The haulage cost being:
the same whether tho tons hauled con
sist of paying or non-paying loads, it
follows that the expense would be re
duced to two-fifths of what it now is.
This does not include the enormous sav
ing in wear and tear which would arise
from hauling twenty million tons in
stead of fifty million. From the lore
going the iact is established that the 3
feet gauge can produce twenty-five mil
lions net out of a gross tonnage of fifty
millions, while the 4 feet 8 J inch gauge,
'to produce the samo result, would have
to haul ono hundred and twenty-five
millions, and at a cost increased in the
eunie proportion.' "
If Mr. Fairlio's conclusions are cor
rect, and they seem to be, they are of
great importance not only to this coun
try, but to South America, Asia, and
Australia in fact, to all countries not
fully supplied with railways. He claims
that these indispensable adjuncts of
commerce and intercommunication, in
stead of costing $100,000 per mile, as
they have in England, India, and the
British colonies generally, "can be made
cheaply and at the samo time thorough
ly efficient ; and those who aver to the
contrary are, in f.ict, enemies to pro
gress and to civilization. There is no
country too poor to have railways suffi
cient for its requirements, and railways
furnish tho cheapest possible modo of
transportation when they are not borne
down by the results of that incompe
tence and extravagance which we so of
ten seo associated together." 2fao York
Dogs, Socially Considered.
"I think," says Dr. John Brown, of
Edinburgh, who ot all prose writers hus
written with the most hearty and de
lightful appreciation of dogs. " I think
every family should have a dog. It is
like having a perpetual baby; it is tho
plaything and crony of the wholo house ;
it keeps them all young; and then, he
tells no tales, betrays no secrets, never
sulks asks no troubksomo questions,
never gets into debt, never comes down
. late to breakfast, is always ready for a
bit of fun, lies in wait for it, and you
may, if choleric, to your relief, kick him
instead of somo one elso, who would not
take it so meekly, and, moreover, would
certainly not, as he does, ask your par
don for being kicked."
Next to a merry child, wo do not
know so trood and healthtu! a companion
for a melancholic man as a dog. He
does not call over the roll of your ails,
with dolorous intonation, nursing and
putting thorn by rocital, nor does ho
anger you by combatting your splenetic
taucies. lie just ignores them so inno
cently that you iimoro them too. If,
after a convivial evening, you aw.ke
with a pound of lead in the epigastrio
regions, spiders in your eyes, ana me
phitio vapors coiling through your brain ;
if the day looks cold, and dark, and
dreary, and you feel half inclined to try
the " bare bodkin" remedy, rather than
grunt and sweut under a weary life, just
draw on your clothes, and open the door
to your dog. See what a delirious good
morning he has for you. How he leaps
upon you, and sprinkles you all over
with cool fragrant dew, which he has
brushed from lilacs and violet-borders!

President to-day i " '
By the President of the United State oj
America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereat, Divers evil-disposed persons
have, at sundry times, within tho terri
tory or jrnsdiotion ot the United States,
begun, or set on foot, or provided, or
prepared tho means for military expedi
tions or enterprises to be carried on
thenco, against the territories or domin
ions of Powers, with whom the United
States are at peace, by organizing bodies
pretending to have powers of Govern
ment over portions of the territories or
dominions of Powers with : whom the
Unitod States are at peace ; or by being,
or assuming to be, mombers of such
bodies, by levying or collecting money
for the purpose, or for the alleged pur
pose of using the same in carrying on
military enterprises against such terri
tories or dominions; by enlisting and
organizing armed forces to be used
against such Powers ; and by fitting
out, and equipping, and arming vessels
to transport such organized armed forces
to bo employed in hostilities ngainst
such Powers; and
Whereat, It is alleged, and there is
reason to apprehend that such evil-disposed
persons havo at sundry times,
within the territory and jurisdiction of
the United Stotes, violated the laws
thereof by accepting and exercising
commissions to serve by laud or by sea
against Powers with whom the United
States are at peace ; by enlisting them
selves or other persons to carry on war
against such Powers ; by fitting out and
arming vessels with intent that the same
shall be employed to cruise or commit
hostilities against such Powers, or by
delivering commissions within the terri
tory or jurisdiction of the United States
for such vessels, to the extent that they
might be employed as aforesaid ; and,
Whereas, Such acts aro. in violation of
tao laws of tho United States in such
cases made and provided, and are done
in disregard ot the duties and obliga
tions which all persons residing or be
ing within the territory or jurisdiction
of the United States owe thereto, and
aro condemned by all right-minded and
law-abiding citizens ;
Now, therefore, I, Ulyfses S. Grant,
President of the United States of Amer
ica, do hereby declare and proclaim that
all persons hereafter found, within the
territory or jurisdiction of the United
btates, committing: any ot tho atore-
cited violations of law, or any similar
violations ot the sovereignty ot the uni
ted States, for which punishment is pro
vided by law, will bo rigorously prose
cuted therefor, nnd, upon conviction and
sentence to punishment, will not be en
titled to expect or receive the clemency
ot the Executive to save them irom the
consequences of their guilt ; and I en
join upon every officer of this Govern
ment, civil and military, or naval, to use
all efforts in his power to arrest, for trial
and punishment, every such ouende:
against the laws, providing for tho per
formance of our sacred obligations to

ritESiiiiviNG Farm Tools. Every
farmer should have a can of linseed oil
and a brush on hand, and whenever he
buys a new tool he should soak it well
with oil and dry it by the firo or in the
sun before using. The wood by this treat
ment is toughened and strengthened,
nnd rendered impervious to water. Wet
a new hay rake, and when it dries it will
begin to bo loose in tho joints ; but if
well oiled, tho wet will have but slight
effect. Shovels and forks are preserved
from checking and cracking in the top
of tho handle by oiling; the wood be
comes as smooth as glass by use, and is
far less liablo to blister tho hand when
long used. Ax und hammer handles of
ten break off where the wood enters the
iron ; this part particularly should be
tougliened with oil, to secure durability.
Oiling tho wood in tho eye of an ax will
prevent its swelling and shrinking, and
sometimes getting loose. The tools on a
largo farm cost a largo sum of money ;
they should bo of tho most approved
kinds. It is poor economy at the pre
sent extravagant price of labor to set
men to work with ordinary, old-fashioned
implements. Laborers should bo re
quired to roturn their tools to the con
venient places provided for them ; after
using, they should be put away clean
and bright. The mold boards of plows
aro apt to get rusty from ono season to
another, even if sheltered ; they should
be brushed over with a few drops of oil
when put away, and will then remain
in good order till wanted. Farm Journal.
110W .LITTLE JjAXD WILL KEEP A
Cow. On the 1st day of Juno last I
commenced cutting clover for one cow
confined in a yard inclosed by a high
tight board fence, with a stablo attached
in which she has been ted. bhe bad no
feed but freshly-cut clover from the 1st
of Juno to the 15th of October, and all
taken from one-fourth of on acre of
of ground. She has averaged eighteen
quurts of strained milk per day, from
which my wife has made eight pounds
of butter per week, during the four and
and a halt months. Xhe cow is nve
years old; and a cross of the Ayrshire
and .Durham, bhe has given more milk,
more butter, and of a better quality,
than she has ever done on pasture. On
one-eighth cf an acre I have raised 150
bushels of sugar beets and carrots, which
with the two tuns of hay. will keep her
handsomely through the balance of tho
year. The labor, of cutting clover for
the cow is less than that of driving her
three-iourths ot a mile to pasture ; be
sides, the mauure saved is'tiuiteanitem
In the dairy districts, the usual estimate
is four acres to the cow, on the hay and
pasture system, whereas by soiling and
raising roots five-fcighths of an acre is
found to be sufficient. I will state
further, what I believe from nearly 30
years' experience in farming, that there
is no crop so valuable for soiling as
clover, no crop so many pounds of
which, and ot equal value for milk
and butter, can be produced from . an
acre of ground. Sweet corn is a good
crop for late feeding where clover will
not grow.'but not profitable for winter
teeding. American Jstoce Journal.

Chloroforming a Crazy lffnh"vfltlta
Syringe. ' ' ' '
Thcro is confined at our Alms House
a man who is mad as a March hare. He
is religiously crazy, very volatile, ugly
in temper, a nd filthy beyond description.
i esterday it became necessary to nave
him taken from tho cell where ho has
been confined, in order to have it thor
oughly cleaned. Dr. Ward tried all the
persuasion he was capable of to induce
the madman to be quiet and allow him
self to bo taken caro of, but tho poor
fellow s mind was wandering among the
ruined walls of Zion, where tho ser
pents hiss and spit, and the birds of evil
hide, amino became violent ana aangor
ous. It was also ascertained that tho
madman had secreted in the nasty Btraw
of his cell a razor and other things. It
was concluded to be a good plan to try
the persuasive influenco of chloroform,
and a hole was bored in the floor over
his cell with an inch and a quarter auger.
As soon as tho hole was made, the crazy
man would stop it up with rags by
means of a Btick that he had procured,
and the doctors had a lively time. Dr.
Bissell, who was present, produced from
among his repertory of instruments, a
machino like a garden syringe, ana came
to the little half-moon hole in front of
tho cell. The machine was full of chloro
form. The man, exulting in his strategy
and throwing things around in a loose
and unplcosant manner, presented a full
face front to tho hole in the door, when
the doctor let drive the contents of the
machine. It struck him fair and filled
his beard and moustache, and very soon
ho became quiet as a lamb under the as
tonishing novelty of treatment. After
he had been subdued, he was brought
out of his cell and thoroughly washed
all over and put into clean clothing and
transferred to another "cell which had
been prepared, there to Btay until an
other removal shall become necessary.

An Arkansas paper tells of a genius
who conceived that monkeys would, on
account of their nimble fingers, make
splendid cotton pickers with a little
training:, and further calculated that
one good hand could nianugo about ten
monkeys, and the expense of cotton
picking be reduced to a minimum
When the experiment was tried, how
ever, it was found that instead of one
good hand being able to manage ten
monkeys, it required about ten good
bands to ono monkey.
