A WONDERFUL AUE.-Under tho nbovo
beading the Pottsville (Pa.) 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?

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.
