Miners' Jour? nal notices tho model of a now railroad and machinery by which it is claimed that a trip can be made from Liverpool via Now York to San Fraucisco in six days-countiug the time from New York to San Francisco in lira and n-hulf days.' Wo aro prepared in thia ago of progress for almost any improvement or inven? tion, aud aro consequently not surprised at the credulity of the Journal, which snys: Wo were shown yesterday tho model ! of a new ruilroad and machinery invent- j ed by R. A. Wilder, Esq., for which he j has made application for a patent, by ! which thc trip eau bo made from Now | York to San Francisco in sixty hours, j including moderate stoppages at tho 1 principal points, with much moro safety than on tho presout road. There will bo ? four rails laid down instead of two for a ! single track, and will bo laid in such a 1 manner that the road can bo used in j various ways. Wo aro not at liberty at ; presont to give the full particulars, but j this much wo eau say, that tho passenger and freight cars cnn bo built seventeen feet widp; that they can bo run at the rato of sixty miles an hour, with double, ; if not treble, tho safety over running tho present cars at forty miles an hour, j That a doublo engine of sixty tons will tuko 1,000 passengers in ;i single train, ' with less wear and tear to the roadway than is now caused by a thirty-livc-tr n engine. Tho expenses of building such a road will be about $8,000 a mile more than building one of the present single track roads, which, for 8,000 miles, from New York to San Francisco, would bo an extra expenso of only $21,000,000. A single passenger, merchandise, or bag? gage cur, capable of carrying double the number of passengers and doublo tho quantity of merchandise, will weigh at ' least live tons less than any two of the cars now iu use. Tho capacity of the road, single track, will bo nearly, if not ? quite, three times as great as that of the . present single linos. There will bo no : no oscillating movement in the cars when running at u high rate of speed, and it ' is almost impossible fur a car to bo over- . turned iu case of nu accident. On such a road, with passenger cars seventeen feet j wide, they can be titted up with state- ; rooms, Ac, nod with nearly all the com- | forts that can bu obtained in a first-class hotel. Should thc project also bo curried out of extending a railroad from New York to the most remoto point in Newfound? land, and establish a liuo of steamers to cross the ocean in tinco days from that point-which can bo done, as the dis? tance is only 1,200 miles-tho distance from Liverpool to New York can be mado iu six days; and, add two and-a-balf more days to San Francisco, the whole routo can be traveled in about nine days, a dis? tance of upwards of G,000 miles. Is uot this a wonderful ago? OniGiN oi? FitRE MASON v.-Ex-Chief-1 tain Peter L. Buchanan, of tho New ! Y'ork Caledonian Club, delivered ono of 1 a series of lectures before tho Club last ' evening, bis subject being tho "History ! of tho Scottish Free Masons." Among1 the various theories of the origin of Ma? sonry, tho true one, ho said, was that it ' originated among tho Romans, where an organization of practical Masons follow- j ed the army and erected fortifications and walled camps. Many of the mern-1 hers of these colleges of architects and builders, becoming converted to Christi nnity, carno to the British Isles, but England being then under Roman rule, I they went Northward to Scotland. At that period monasteries were being rap-1 idly erected, and iu their erection these ! organized nrtizans were engaged travel ing from place to place nuder the lead of I a monk. Among tho chief buildings j erected by them was the Abbey of KU- j winne, after which many of tho snbse- : quent lodges wero named. Tho lecturer | referred to the histories of Masonry by Rev. James Anderson and ThomasPuine, ; both of which ho regarded as largely j imaginary. Tho first appointed heredi? tary Grand Master of Scotland was William Sinclair, who, on a re-organiza? tion of the craft, was subsequently elect? ed Grand Mastor. At the beginning of the last century tho organizations of the practical craft bad become almost obso? lete, and it being desirable to preservo the principles of the craft, it was extend? ed to men otherwise worthy, though not practical Masons. Thus arose the term Free and Accoptcd Masons. From this point Mr. Buchanan gavo an outline of the increase of Scotch Masonry, now numbering 100,000, or 2LJ percent, of tho population.-Neto Y'ork Times. Mr. James Rice, an engineer of tho Brunswick and Albany (Ga.) Railroad, was killed on that road, a few days ago.
