The Itail road track between Richmond and Greensboro, like that of the Air Line South of Charlotte, is five feet in width-: while the leas ed connecting link, ninety-one miles in length, lying between Greensboro and Charlotte, is on ly four feet eight and a .half inches wide. J he Danville Railroad people have made persistent efforts to bring about an uniformity of guage on these connecting lines,' but have been foiled by injunctions from the Njorth Carolina Courts. A bill was under consideration in the Vir ginia Legislature, which" authorizes the Dan ville road to alter its guage in any way that the .Company way deem necessary. The plain meaning of the bill is, that the Danville road proposes to "conform in guage to the section south''of Greensboro, as the only remedy that the circumstances of the case admit of. But the; Legislature refused to permit the Richmond, & Danville Railroad to change its guage to conform to the guage of the N. C. Road, unless the road would relinquish its ex emption from taxation. . So the bill authoriz ing a change was indefinitely; postponed on the last day of the session of the Legislature. V; ! ' 4 -!

Now, suppose our oberver to be standing upon a section of tho earth's crust which is incapable of receiving or imparting sound vibrations he miy feel the e.irtli pi.ke shocks and yet hear no noise ; or if sounds should reach him after an interval of time, they may come from a distant section capable of producing them, but which must be trans mitted to his ear through tha intervening at mosphere.

The 1 heat 1'ioispcct. . - The report from the Department of Agri culture, Ijin regard to the prospects oi wheat crops, states that returns from a large propor tion of the winter wheat area in each fctate say the winter has been exceedingly favorable in all sections, j NV previous season has been more generally so since the inauguration of clop reports. ,dn the South very lew excep tions to the general vigor, and even luxuriance, of the. growth j have appeared. In the Guif coast region the winter pasturing of wheat fields has been practiced to the advantage of WJV CI OU. j ! . : J - In New YorWjand Pennsylvania the weather since the middle of March has been unfavora ble on account of the sudden changes of tem perature (and cold winds, to tue ; injury of .wheat on clay andundrained lauds.

Beyond the Misst.-.siooi. Aiisoan The .Veto. It was believed by some that. as the President had set tip his will against the combined wisdom of a majority of tho peo ple's Representatives in Congress assembled, the inflation currency bill might be pass ed over the President's veto. Not so, howev er. In the j Senate a long controversy occur red over the veto message, whether tho bill should pass, notwithstanding the veto. The vote stood 30 to 24, not the required two-thirds, a nd the bill was lost. A late Washington despatch says: The Son ate Committee on finances had a long session on the 'currency question. There is no diffi culty aniong the mlmheis on the general lea lures of a free banking clause of whicli they are in ' favor, but there is no agreement 'on other branches of a financial bill. The mem bers are differing widely.in their opinions.V i A Trained Rat.
