To develop the resources of a I country, facilities for transportation are indispensable. Iron ore couhl ; he mined aud lumber manufactured ; only to a very limited extent if wagon transportation for any con-siderable distance over common i-oads were necessary to reach a market. Where the business is .stillicicntly extensive to Warrant it, and the capital can be secured, railroads, either narrow or ordinary gauge, will afford the best facili-ties. itut there arc many localities in which ordinary railroads are im-practicable, not from physical, but from financial diSieullies in the way of their construction. With a limited capital and a sparse population, railroads cannot be built, even in localities highly favored in natural resources for op-erations of quarrying, miuing and heavy manufacturing. In such cases a substitute for the wagon road, less expensive than the railroad, becomes a desidera-tum. This substitute has been propos-ed in a new style of wooden rail-road, costing but little more to con-sliuct than an ordinary wagon road, yet affording transportation at less than one tilth the cost, by wagon, and less than the ordinary cost by rail, where interest on capi-tal invested is considered. This road diners essentially from the tramroad, which consisted of sawed rails about three inches wide, laid ou cross-ties, and used with narrow tread iron-wheeled cars. Such roads, although some im-provement on the common wagou road with its mud holes and deep ruts, have given very unsatisfacto-ry results. The differences extend to the tracks, cars and motive pow-ers. TRACK. The track is formed of heavy logs, hewed on the upper side to the width of eight inches, and ou the inside at right angles, sufficient-ly deep to form a straight edgj for the flange. These logs are buried so that the top, or rail surface, is almost level with the road surface, resting on stout sills at the ends and middle, to which they are se-cured by wedged tree nails. The tails therefore are solidly bedded, and not liable to warp or twist. Twenty feet would be a conveni-ent length on curves, but on straight lines longer pieces could be used, the ties being ten feet apart. The grading of a sufficient width on a side hill, with gentle slopes, would cost about §300 per mile for a three feet gauge; but of course the cost of gradation will vary greatly with Ihe locality. Ravines aud small water courses would iu geueral be crossed with rough trestles or timber cribs. Hewing the timber would cost about d-00 per mile. In a wooded country, where timber can be ob-tained along the line ot the road, where no large bridges are requir-ed and no lock to be excavated, the cost ot such a wooden railroao. should be covered by from $50U to s*'_',000 per mile, depending upon the amount of earth work. CARS. The cars proposed for such wood-en railroads are simple - frames placed ou wheels, without springs, and covered with a floor of flank.— The wheels are of wood, built up of pieces cut from two inch planks iu Ihe form of secular sectors, about eight inches at the wide end. l-'our thickness of plank will build a wheel with a tread of eight inches, corresponding with the face of the rail. A cast iron hub is iuserted iu the centre, through which tin iron ] axle passes, and a cast irou ilauge is bolted on the inside. The timber shc.uld be of hard I wood, well seasoned, the sectors! laid so as to break joint and well bolted. Diameter of wheels about thirty inches. Such cars, if used with horses, will cost about $40 or &>0, or one third the price of a farm wagou.— They will carry three Ions, and can be made by any lough hand who can use carpenter's tools, designed for use with locomotives in trains, draw-bars and springs must be. used, and the cost per car increas- , ed. MOTIVE POWERS. Horse or mule power can lie used, but if Ihe tonnage is considerable, it will be preferable to adopt alight engine of six or seven tons, with wide drawing wheels, covered With valcauized rubber tire. Such engines can be manufactur-ed at the Baldwin Locomotive Works for about $4,000. Passengers couhl be carried on the proposed roads with such en-gines at a Speed of ten or twelve miles an hour, which would make a great improvement on the stage. coach. Such roads would rot out long before they would wear out, and the answer to the objection that they are not durable is simply that they will last just as long as the cross-ties on an ordinary railroad, and it Will cost less to renew them. Poatoak ties in Ihe South last from ten to toui tecu yean The com of transportation by wagons lot a distance ol tWOOty-flve miteeywithout return load, is fifty cents per 1,000 pounds, or ten dollars per ton of two thousand pounds. Assuming the tractive power of such a wooden railroad, for the pur-pose nt an approximation, to lie double that of an ordinary railroad, or twenty pounds per ton,the angle of friction would be forty eight feel to the mile. And a hois.- exerting a power of 130 pounds, at two anil a half miles per hour.or four horses (iOO pounds, would haul Oil a grade of 131 feet to the mile one-fourth of the gross load on a level, or seven aud one-half tons, giving six tons of net load. As a trip of twenty live miles, returning empty, could be made iu two days, assuming a team to be worth *•"> a day, the cost of the round trip would be $10 or sixty six cents per ton, as against £10 per ton by wagon transportation;— and the road, too. on grades of 1.10 feet to the mile, nearly—tolls tor use of road not being included in either case. This illustration will show the great economy ol such roads over wagon transportation, even when operated by horse power, but where the business will warrant it the rubber tired locomotive should be used. If, after a few years, a business should he developed sufficient to justify the expense, an iron railroad could be substituted; of which the original grading would form a part —the expenditure would not be lost It is also to be observed that Ihe rails of the proposed wooden rail road being even with the surface of the road bed, or nearly so. would permit the same road bed to be used for ordinary vehicles. COST OF OWOKATINU the wooden railway, as compared with an ordinary iron road. As-sume length of road twenty live miles. Iuterest 10 per cent, and one engine only, to be provided with a minimum equipment of cars in each case.

A wooden railway for the accom-modation of an equal business world require the following esti-mate : 25 miles at an average cost of $1,5000, $37,500,10 |>er cent. $3,750 Renewal of track once in 0 years, $33 per mile per annum, 1,455 Six hands for track re-pairs, 1800 Engine, $4,000; 20 per cent, S00 Engineer, 900 Train hands, 1,800 40 freight cars,$100, 20per ceut. 800 4 passenger coaches, $250, 20 per cent. 200 Agent, 1,200 Fuel, 800 Supervision, insurauce.sta- • tioiu-ty, incidentals, 1,500 Total, 875,850 This is a moderate estimate ol the cost of operating an ordinary railroad, with a miuimum equip-ment, for oue year, including re-pairs, renewals and 10 per cent, ou capital, aud amounts to about &,■ 000 per mile. It one-third of this income should be derived from passengers aud two-thirds from freight, carried at 0 ceuts per passenger aud 10 ceuts per ton per mile, the number ol passengers carried the twenty-five miles would be 10,180 and the num-ber of tons 20,200. This amonut of business would pay 10 per ceuL on capital invested. Total, $14,704 To pay running expenses aud 10 per cent, on capital, will require an income of ouly $15,000 per annum. To cover operating expeuses, with-out interest on capital or equip-ment, about $10,000. The amount of business that would pay operating expenses Only, without dividends, on an ordinary iron road, would pay operating ex-peuses and a dividend of 40 per cent, upon a wooden railway ; aud the business that would pay 10 per cent, upon the irou railroad would pay 142 per ceut. upon the wooden road. To pay 10 per cent, upon the wootlen road would iequire a busi-ness, at the prices stated, of .'$3,000 passengers and 4,000 tons of freight. The capacity of a wooden railway with a single engine of seven tons and grades of one hundred and fif-ty feet to the mile would be: adhe-sion of engine, 3,200 pounds; trac tiou on level 20 pounds per ton;— load ou level 100 tons; on grade of 150 feet, 40 tons; requiring about three tons to a car. fourteen cars, or twelve cars, exclusive of the weight of the engine. The net load carried would be about twenty-eight tons. A day's trip each wcy for three hundred days would give an annual capacity of 10,800 ions. If the trade should bo all one way, only hall this amount carried anil no passengers, 82 per ton for twenty live miles, or 10 cents per too pounds, would pay r.inning ex-penses ou such a road and 12 per cent, dividends ; while an irou road would not be operated at all with ordiuaty equipment, inasmuch as the income would not pay running expenses. The cases are numerous where such railroads would perfectly meet the wants of the public in develop-ing the resources of sparcely settled localities, and serving as valuable feeders to tiuuk lines. The estimate for capacity has been made for a' single engine of 0 to 7 ions. II the weight or number of en-gines be increased, the capacity would be increased proportionally. The ultimate capacity with increas ed equipment would far exceed the requirements of any locality where such roads would be employ-ed. The question is often asked ; What is the limit of grade that can be employed on such wooden raiiroad T The answer is, grade affects only the load which a given power can transport, and is independent ot the road itself,'gravity being a ■■ tarding force due to inclination solely. At the same time it is true that the more perfect the construction of the road bed and the machinery, the more rapidly does grade reduce the tractive power. On a well constructed railroad S pounds per ton will move a train ; and a grade of 20 feet to the mile will more than double the required traction for a given load. Ami every additional 20 feet would re-quire additional power equal to the resistance of the train upon a level. On a wootlen railroad, assuming traction as twenty pouuds per ton, it would require a grade ol nearly lilty feet per mile to double the power or with a given power to re dace the load one half. On a grade of 200 feet to the mile a team of four horses could haul 5 tons. The adhesion of locomotives on ordinary railroads does not exceed one-fifth of the weight in drivers, and is measured by the friction ol iron npon irou, but the friction ol wood ou wood is fifty per ceut.,aud that of rubber on wood is probably greater; consequently rubber tired locomotives could ascend much higher inclinations thau ordinary engines upon railroads, the limit of which is about 800 feet to the mile without load, and ffbole weight ou drivers. The surplus adhesiou, however, can not be utilized with-out a proportionate increase of cyl-inder power, which involves also in-creased boiler capacity. Said wooden railway, operated either by locomotive or animal power, may become very important agencies in promoting the settle-ment of localities not supplied with railroad facilities and in develop-ing mineral and agricultural re-sources. In the last number of Van JTos-traud's Magazine, July, there is a statement that more than one hun-dred miles of wooden railroads are in operation in Canada, iu the pro-vince of Quebec alone. That the gauge is four feet, eight and one-halt iuches, the running time about sixteen miles per hour, but that trains have been running at the rate ot twenty-five miles per hoar. The cars have tour wheels; some, of the engiues weigh about thirty i tons. laid on cross ties; and if such roads I ruu with cars and engines with 1 iron wheels at speeds of sixteen to I thirty-five miles per hour, and en-giues of thirty tons have proved so serviceable that their use is extend-ing, there can be no room to ques-tion the success ot tho system here p!'o|x>sed, of solid rails permanently bedded, wooden wheels, light en-giues with rubber-ties and moderate speeds.

TWELVE MILLIONS OP DOLLARS, A man will defend his weak spots, now waiting in France to be olaim Wars Now Going On. When the milleninm comes there will be universal peace in this little planet of ours, but not before. Uni-versal peace societies do not pre vent men from cutting their throats nor nations from slaughtering peo-ple by the million. Men will never beat their swords into plow-shares and their spears into pruning hooks. The Hew York rfVrU enumerates the wars now going get: I. An internecine war between the Republican Government of Spaiu and Don Carlos, the legiti-mate heir of Bourbons to the throne. This war has continued for some time, with varying success. At pre-sent there seems no Jiope of a deci-ded victory by either army. II. The war between Cuba and the mother country. This struggle has continued for four years. It has been prosecuted with vigor on both sides aud ferocity on oue. The end is not yet. III. The war between Russia and Khiva. The telegrams have inform-ed us lately that Khiva was captur-ed and the Khan conquered. Our morniug tlispatches contradict this rumor. Russia, though she will doubtless ultimately be successful. will have to earn her conquest of the Khanate of Khan aud lighting bis soldiers. IV. Modoc warjust ended. V. The war between the Dutch and the Sultan Atchen. This con-llict will, after the close of the pres-ent armed neutrality, break out be-fore many mouths with renewed fury. VI. The war between Sir Samuel Baker and his forces and tho slave dealers of the White Nile. Late dispatches show that the painful ru-mor of the death of this hardy explo-rer and his accomplished wife has no truth in it. Sir Samuel is there-fore now executing his mission iu the very heart of Africa. To all these wars must be added the occasional conflicts that occur on the banks of the Rio Grande be-tween the -Mexicans and the Tex-aiis: the chronic revolution of Central and South America; the difficulties between the English iu India ami the wild tribes 011 the northern frontiers—difficulties final-ly to bo settled only by force of arms; and the internal struggles, leading to occasional bloodshed, iu most countries of the world, not ex-cepting our own. According to an official statement the amount of tax on spirits collect-ed by Hie Tnted Slates in 1872 was $49,475,516.30. This represents a bout 100,000,000 gallons, worth at wholesale, $85,000,000, but which brought, at retail, about $317,000,- 000. This aggregates a moneyed interest of over 8400,000.000. The beer trade pays a tax to the govern-ment of 88.373,498.40. This repre-sents a retail valne of over 8212,- 600,000, which. Added to the value of the article to the inanulacturers, represents a moneyed ^interest of about $300,000,000. The wine trade represents an interest of $75,000,- 000. The import trade of liquors, beer and wine, represents a retail value of $27,000,000; of beer, $2,- 800,000; of wines, $135,000,000; or a total of nearly $105,000,000. Ad-ded to all this the capital invested in building and machinery, etc., to-gether with the expenses conuected directly and indirectly with the tratle, the feeling is at least $1,500,- 000,000, or nearly three-fourths of the national debt. a grate deal more sharply than- he will hiz strong ones. If men were stubborn just in pro-porshan azthey was right, stubborn-ness would take Lei seat atuung the virtews, bnt men are generally stub-born Jnst in proporshun az they are ignorant and wrong. Genius after all ain't ennything more than elegant kommon sense. Tuare iz a grate deal ov dignity in this world that iz koinposed en-tirely ov dignity, and nothing else. We hav professors who teach the art ov talking korrektly, whi kaut we hav sum who will teach the art ov listening pashuutly. Slander travels ou the wiud, and whare it corns from, aud whare it will go, we don't euuy ov ns seem tew k no. Wheu a man ov learning talks be makes ns wonder, but a wise man makes us think. People worth uoticiug should nev-er forgit that everything they say and do iz watched by somboddy, and it iz equally true that the good things are generally forgot, but the bad ones never. I phully apreshiate the proverb, "that speech iz silver, but silence iz golden," bat I must say that snm ov the most district and dignified phools that i ever met hav been tboze who never ventured an opin-ynn u!>on enny subjekt What iz happier tew meet than a good temper 1 It iz like the sun In day and the soft harvest inoou bi uite. Sam pholks are naturally so kross and krabbid that it iz an insult tew ask them to be polite. Y11 mite a? well ask a dog tew lake the krook out of fiiz tale, and be a gentleman. I hav often heard ov men who hud bekura disgusted with the world, and retired into solitude ; but i hav never heard ov a kommitty ov our fust citizens waiting ou them and asking them tew kum bak. I never hav known a man yet die at three skore years and ten possess ed ov the welth that he had got rougfiilly. Peace iz Ihe shaddo that the set-ting sun of a virtewous life kasts. Side by side ov Plain Truth stands Common Sense—twoov the gratesl warriors time haz ever produced. Diogeneze waz a grater man than Alexander, not bckanze he lived in a tub, but bekan/e a tub waz all he wanted tew live in ; wealth could not ll.it tIT him, nor could povertj make him afrade. It takes just 3 times az long tew tell a lie, on enny subjekt, az it das tew tell the truth. Vanity iz the most jealous dis-ease; 1 hav saw men so vain that they kouldn't look with kompoaare upon a peakok spreading hiz appen dix tew the morning sun. Ti 11 valor iz like honesty, it enters into all that a man sez or duz. The mau W'JO thinks "he kant do it," iz alwaze more than half right. —S. Y. Weekly. Nose Bleeding. A correspondent of the, Ncieiitilic American sa.\s : "The best remedy for bleeding at the nose, as given by Dr. Glaeson in oue of his lec-tures, is a vigorous motion of the jaws, as if in the act of mastication. In the case of a child a wad of pa-per may be placed iu its mouth and the child instructed to chew it hard. Of course an adult does not need the paper. It is the motion of the jaws that stops the flow of blood.— This remedy is so very simple that many will feel inclined to laugh at it. but it has never beeu known to fail in a single instance, even in very severe cases." To Con Tomaloe*.—Skin them by scalding them ; put them on to boil; season with salt and pepper; boil three-quarters of aa hour; then Inn e the cans hot aud pour in the boiling tomatoes; seal immediately. ed by these fortunate ladies. Mrs. Campbell is a widow, about seventy years of age. Her niece. Mrs. Cham-bers, is also a widow, about thtaty-six. The vast property which they have inherited belongs to the Ben-uauleaa estate. Information in re-gard to it was received by them a-bout three months since, and"by MB advice of a gentleman in Madison, who says be was once a law part-ner ot the lion. Judah P. Benjamin, they at once wrote to the latter at London, asking him what coarse to pursue in the matter. Mr. Benja-min, after thoroaghly investigating the ease, wrote to Mrs. Campbell aud Mrs. Chambers that there was uot a questiou of dottbt in regard to their claim, and advised them to come on to Europo at once. The pro|ierty descends to thane ladies through a Mrs. Reunaulean. grandmother of Mrs. Campbell, and great-grandmother of Mrs. Cham-bers. Mrs. Campbell's maiden ns was Mugnire, and that of her 1 er Mademoiselle Rennaaleau. They are conuected with one of the beat families iu France. It appears that a certain party who once resided in the United States, aud for a number of years transacted busiuess for several old refugee St. Domingo families living in Augusta in connection with thetr iudemuities from the French GOT- ' eminent tor their losses in that is-land, became aware some time ago that the HUGE ESTATE wan-waiting iu France to be claim-ed He therefore hurried posthaste to that country, hunted npa remote branch of the Rennaaleau family, and succeeded in marrying one of (In- female members of it. He then presented proofs of the death of all of the American aud nearer branch of the family, nad claimed the es-tate for the distant branch into which he had married. Mr. Ben-jamin, iu his letter to Mrs. Camp-bell and Mrs. Chambers remarks that this man will soon find out that the DEAD CAN HE RESURRECTED. By the terms of an aggreement between Mr. llenjamiu and the two ladies, the former will take one-half ol the whole amount of the estate, and the other half, six million dol-lars, will then fall to Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Chambers, the share of each being the neat little sum of three million dollars. Of the entire amount ol millions, seven million and a half arc in the Bank of France, and lour millions and a half are in the hands of the Rostchilds, the cel-ebrated bankers. Mrs. Chambers is now making ar-rangements for the voyage of her aunt and herself to Europe. They will be accompanied by a lawyer from Savannah and Mr. Antoine I'icquet, of Augusta, who go for the purpose of identilying them. They will also carry papers signed by old citizens of Augusta, proving their ideutv. They will leave for Europe uext Tuesday. Mrs. Chandlers was the observed of all observers while in Augusta, the storv of her great good fortune and that of her auut having be-come pretty well known in the com-munity. This windfall illustrates to the fullest extent that fact is stranger than fiction. The two ladies named have suddenly been raised from mod-erate com iicteuce to immense wealth, and only wait a voyage across the Atlantic to step into their posses-sion.-.. Tea Plant.—The Jacksonville Un MM sat s: "It may not l>e generally known but it is none the less pat-ent, that tho genuine tea plant is growing profusely all over the su-burbs of the city, and presents quite a thriving np|iearance everywhere it is found. We are informed by a prominent mechanic of this city, and an old citizen at that, that he uses no other tea in his family. He plucks and dries what he requires for his own use, and says it is equal to any black tea oflered for sale in the grocery stores. If some shrewd New Euglauder were only here iu Florida, he would soon make a regular busiuess of preparing a tea-crop." ^^^^^___ v Oue ofour bravest preachers says; "I have great hone of a wicked man ; sleuder hope of a mean one. A Wicked man may be converted aud become a pre-eminent saint— A mean man ought to be couverted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start, and put him on au equality with a bold, wicked man. A retted* for corns is recommend-ed by P. P. F., as follows: "Bathe the feet in tepitl water, to soften the corns; pare these of very closely with a sharp knife; then rub on well green peach tree leaves; when, after continuing the rubbing once or twice a day, the corns will disap-pear." "C-c-c cau that p-p-p-parrot talk!" asked a stuttering man of a Ger-man. "Veil he don't talk so gooter as vou, I schop, by tarn, his heatl off" The salary of President Grant is over six hundred bushels ol corn, or two bales of upland cotton a day. with house, fuel, lights, stables and grounds free. Poor fellow ! An Irishman being iu a church where the collection apparatus re-sembled election boxes, ou its being handed to him, whispered in the carrier's ear that he was not natur-alized and could not vote. A German Jew was eating a pork chop iu a thunder storm. On hear-ing an unusually loud clap, he laid down his knife and fork, and ob-served, "Veil, did any poty efer hear such a fuss about a leedle peece of bork I" Miss Seavy, of Belmont, N. II., a maiden lady, aged sixty, died last Thursday of voluntary starvation, having refused food for twenty-eight days. Her sister died in the same way a few years since. Common shellac, dissolved in al-cohol, makes the strongest cement known tor wood, aud w.U make the Earta joiued as firm as though they ad never been severed. What's the proper age for a par-son t The parsonage, of course. The 3and Club. A man was indicted the other day at Sau Francisco for murder, with a weapon of a peculiarly dangerous, and for a long time, mysterious na-tuie. This is a sand club, formed by tilliug an eel skin with sand.— When this instrument was first brought into list; the authorities were greatly puzzled by deaths apparent-ly from violence, yet no marks conld be found ou the outside of the body. A burglar was finally captured with a sand club in his |iossession, made out of an eel skiu stuffed with sand. Being closely questioned, be ex-plained its use. When the victim is struck, for instance on the head, he drops insensible and soon dies from congestion of the brain. Of-ten the skull suffers no injury from the stroke ; and if the person struck recovers sensibility, be gradually relapses into a condition of idiocy. Sometimes a man struck in the body will be knocked down by the pecu-liar force of the blow, and feel no immediate results from it. In a few weeks, however, the flesh will begin to mortify under the line of the blow, aud rot down to the bone. Scene 011 a Detroit excursion steamer : Excited individual to the steward—"Don't you see a man there iu the cibin there hogging a woman I" "Well, yes," replied the steward, "but what of that t Hasn't a fellow a right to embrace bis wife f" "That's what you ought to run him off for," replied the stran-ger dancing around ; "that's my wife aud I've stood it so long that I've got mad." The negro who was banged at Suffolk, Va., the other day remark-ed as be was going to the gallows, "I wish dey bad put it oft till arter 1 watermillion time."
