HAJKROW-GAVeE* [Dea Mottiee Oat. Chicago Tribune.] id the Hon. J. JL Graves, the Iowa id king, fa the Lerialatare, last winter: Nin*4enths of all the railroads built in Iowa, the next ten years will be of the narrow-gauge. Aa he i« a broad gauge man, there must be some good reason for hia opinion so positively ex­ pressed. Practical aspcrisnce is the best of all tests in any enterprise. The nar­ row-gauge from this city to Ames, in Story oounty, thirty-eight miles, has now been in operation two years s with a suc- oess greater than anticipated. From J. B. Bailsman, eml engineer, the follow­ ing details are gathered as to the practi- OU operation of the road, which will be of interest to other localities where rail­ roads are being projected: There has been more difficulty in rela­ tion to looomoiivee than any other de­ partment of the bnnmem. After various trials of tliHweufc engin.es, the conviction is settled that cylinders should be 10 by 16 inches; driving wheels, 42 inches; weight, 12 to 16 tons,--15 tons preferred. The weight of rails should be 30 pounds per yard. Of coaches, the weight should oe 7 tons; length, 35 feet; width outside, "'8'feet; capacity, 40 passengers, mm of wheel, 26 inches, The average speed of passenger trains is 18 miles per hour, although 25 miles has been severs! times made. Of freight earn, economically oonmdemi, the length should be M feet width, 6| feet; weight, 5 tons; capacity' 8 tons, though 22,600 lbs. has been car­ ried without appreciable effect Of stock cars, the length shonM be 22 feet; width, 7 feet; capacity, 10 steers, or 40 to 45 hogs. Six oars will cany the same Dumber as four cars of broad-gauge. The rolling stock of this road now con­ sists of 4 locomotives, costing $7,800 each; 8 passenger coaches $3,600; 24 box cars, $425 each; 10 stock and 18 flat ours. Iron required, including side­ tracks for main Hue,, 51 tons bars, 30 feet . long, per mil©, at a cost of $56 per ton at present, rates, delivered. The rails are as good as when laid. Ties in use, 5 by 6 inches, and 6 feet long; road-bed 8 feet, to protect the ends of the ties from unequal thawing and freezing. The total cost of tMs or a similar road --the grading being mostly on the sur- face-soil--may be fixed at $9,000 per mile, including all cost oi construction and equipment, with the road ready for busi­ ness. The reoords of this road show that last year its traffic was $1,800 per mile; its operating expenses, 65 per cent, of that. It is estimated that the addition of $5,000 would add to the capacity of the passen­ ger rolling stock three-fold, and to the freight four-fold; and that the whole would be sufficient for a road 50 miles long. It is hence deducible that a road of 50 miles, with maximum grades of 50 feet to the mile, easy curves, and a traffic of $1,800 per mile, can be operated with proftt to itn OTTOOrD, Comparing the cost of operation and construction with that of the Chicago and Northweste r from or to which the narrow-gauge receives or delivers about one-half its business, for the same num­ ber of miles of road, the saving, includ­ ing the cost of transfer, by the narrow- gauge system, is $17,975 per year, esti­ mating the freight business at 150 tons per day. Ravaged by the Plague. Onoe more that mysterious and awful disease, the Oriental plague, is ravaging Kmaimtk Turkey, It seems to have taken its start in a locality about sixty miles tenth of Bagdad, and has now invaded the city, and is sweeping both sides of the Tigris, fatal in 60 per cent, of the eases, and fearfully rapid in its progress. To all therapeutic processes the plague is as scornfully superior as hy­ drophobia Bright's disease, or snake- poisoning from the bite of the oobra. Once in the grasp of tne disease noth­ ing can be done for the patient save to apply cooling lotions to the loathsome carbuncles and buboes which break out all over Ms person, and to assist his natural sfcrougth by such tonies as are at hand. The result is with Providence alone, and it takes little short of a special dispensation to save the unhappy .cofferer* The true remedy is prevention--a Strict iugard of the laiown principles of tjgiciiO in daily life ami habitation, j lie great power of this against the disease is clearly visible in its complete banishment from Europe. Up to the middle of the eighteenth century Europe wm almost as subject to it as Asia. Ite last visit to England was in 1665, but previous to that she had a ter­ rible invasion of it almost every thirty or forty years. Marseilles was ravaged by it in 1720, and Moscow in 1771 and s72. Its last European stronghold was in the Neapolitan dominion, where it broke out so late as 1815-16. Since then it has been unknown to the Continent. The growth of civilization, the advance­ ment of prophylactic medical science, the drainage of swamps, and the more rigid care of the health of great cities, have destroyed the materialout of which the disease was bred. But in the far East the fearful scourge still flourishes with unabated vigor. The alluvial and marshy grounds; the hot, moist atmosphere; the low, unventilated, and densely packed houses; the rapid decay of vegetable and animal matter ; the lack of nourish­ ing food, and the iiltliiness of the in­ habitants, are just the conditions which favor the development of the disease, and Asia affords them in abundance.-- Cincinnati Times. The Silver Currency Question. [Washington Cor. New York Times.] The officers of the Treasury depart­ ment are anxious to do anything possi- oopt in the case of two or three individ­ ual banks. The silver coins, however, are supposed to be generally retafoed by those who reewive them as long as posn- ble, people for the most part paving out fractional currency and offering bills to be changed rather than part with their silver nnro* On the other hand, many business mfln or consumers that wot© in the habit of paying out freely fractional currency as fast as received, are now keeping it over, from day to day, as much ss "ossible, fearing lest by sonic accident the next day's supply may be short. It thus happens that in some large cities, chiefly in New York and Boston, both currency _ and silver are largely retained from circulation. This condition of affairs, as is supposed, will not be long continued, and the indica­ tions point to a more rapid exchange of coin for currency. Sentenced for ninety-nine Tears. On the 16th of April, 1875, Peter Brown, a negro, pounded his wife's brains out with a club in a little hut in Hog Hollow. He carried the body on the following night to the Missouri river and sunk it, and then burned bis cabin and fled. He was arrested in J unction City, Kan., and having been convicted of murder. in the flrst degree, he was sentenced to be hanged, but the case was taken to the Court ©f Appeals, and that tribunal reversed the judgment. This morning the prisoner pleaded guilty of murder m the second degree, _ an€ Judge Jones sentenced him to imprison­ ment in the penitentiary for ninety-nine years. There is State law that enables a man who haw been sentenced for life to demand and receive his discharge at the end of fifteen years' imprisonment. Hence the term of ninety-nine years was fixed.--St. Louis Republican. Destruction of Fractional Currency. A Washington dispatch says ,the Treasury department officials are led to believe that fully one-fourth of the out­ standing fractional currency has been destroyed and will never be presented for redemption, and that the total amount in existence at this time is not over $30,000,000. The basis for this be­ lief is the total amount of old issues of fractional currency which have been re­ deemed and replaced by newer ones. In paying out silver coin for fractional cur­ rency, the amount of these old issues which has come in is found to be very limited, justifying the conclusion that fully $10,000,000 has disappeared from circulation and will never make its ap­ pearance at the Treasury again.

The diaoovery of America by Columbus, and Dr. Pierce'i» Golden Medical Discovery ; the one opening up to mankind a new continent, the other a foun­ tain of health, which is indispensible to the full enjoyment of life and it* biasing*. In re­ sponse to the above sentiment come the unso­ licited attestations of tens of thousands of grateful patients, who have been relieved of chronic ailments through its instrumentality. Those voices are limited to no one locality, but from ©very city, village, and hamlet, in our bioad domain, as well as from other dimes, and in the strange atteraiwen of foreign tongues, like the confused mUrtnur of many waters, come unfeigned and hearty commendations.

The trouble is that they are Completely tied by law, which requires that no silver shall be paid out except for fractional currency. The difficulty hw been that scrip has not come in so rapidly as usual for redemption, and the sUvern&s therefore been paid out much dower was expected. -Treasurer New is of the opinion that the current is now fairly started, and that a few days will solve all the difficulties.

To AXJL, partienlaity inralidi, spring is a trying seasoa. Indications of sickness abcrald at onoe be attended to. Fatal diseases may be oansed by allowing the bowels to become constipated, and the system to remain in a dis­ ordered oonditlon, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An oonoe of prevention is worth a pound of eon. is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the complaints now very prevalent --headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appe­ tite, nausea, or feverish skin--to take, without delay, Sohwck's »*-•"«--v- puia. We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive ia its action. It at mm* strikes at the root of the disease and produoes a healthy tone to the system. People never need suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they would take this excellent medicine when they feel the first indications of the malady. Families leaving home for the summer months should take three or four boxes of these pills with them. They have an almost Instaata- neous effect. They will relieve the patient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleaaae the lifer of surrounding bile, sad will effectually prevsnt a bilious attack. They are sold by ail druggists.

A Walking Miracle. Mr H R. Stevemb Pear Str--Though a stranger, I want to inform you what VfuKTINK has done for me. Last Christmas scrofula made its appearance in my system--large tunning ulcers appearing on me as follows- One on each of my arms, one on my thigh, which extend­ ed to the seat, one on my head, which eat into therskoll bone, one on my left leg, which became so bad that two physicians came to amputate the limb, though upon con­ sultation concluded not to do so, as my whole body was eo full of scrofula they deemed It advisable to cut the sore, which was painlul beyond description, and tbere was a quart of matter run from this one sore The physicians all gave mo up to die, and said they could do no more for me Both of my legs were drawn up to my se*t, and it was thought if 1 did get up again 1 would bo a cripple for life. When in this condition I saw Veoetine advertised, and commenced taking it in March, and followed on with it until 3 had used sixteen bottles, and this morn­ ing 1 am going to plow corn, a well man. All my towns­ men say it was a miracle to see me round walking and working !n conclusion, I ,will add, when I was eaduring such great suffering fnVn that dreadful disease, scrofula, I prayed to the Ijord above to take me out of this world: but as Vegetine his restored tome the blessings of health. 1 desire moreg han ever to live, that 1 may be of -men, and I know of no better ^inanity than to inclose you this rith an earnest hope t hat, you will (ford me pleasure to reply to any ' may receive therefrom. •'""Slfixfm...
