THE RAILROADS UF THE WORLD.

twe eara the

A New York paper, of late date, contains an
elaburste, carefully compiled and highly in-
teresiing table, showing the lenzth of railroads
constructed and ia operation at the close of
1366, in every country in which they have been
jatreduced, and their reiation to the extent aid!

America, combined, 40,566, while Asia can!
boast of but 3,660 miles. In the United States |
there are 36,896 miles, which is about 38 per

cent. of the whole mileage of railroads in the!

world. In Great Britain aad Ireland there are
13,286, in France 3,982, and in Prussia, 5,794
miles. The return in question shows that in
the United States there ave eizhty-one square
miles of territory to each mile of rai way, and
vne mile of railway to each 1.000 of the popu-
lution. In Great Britain and Ireland the pro-
portion is nine miles of area to one of railroad,

MEMPHIs IN DANGER.

j

Nashville and Memphis papers have broached | Mextcan Bevracirias.—The following ac-|

the startling theory that Memphis is lisble at any |
moment te “ cave in" to a watery abyss beneath |
it. The ides is that the mighty current of the.
Missiesippi river has undermined the foundations |
of the city, and varions cireumstanees are cited

te eubstantiate the proposition. The river shore

argued that the steamers which are always lying |

in front of the city preserve the earth at the
water's edge, bet that the great body of the
mighty tide of waters, forty and fifty tect below,
rashes onward in its auresisted course rending
away the earth. Huw far the stream passes
beweath the city there is, of course, ne meanea of
ascertaining. The explosion of tonpedves, forty
or fifty feet below the river's eurface, aliook every
building west of the bayou. Beyond (he bayou
the sheck was unheeded. Similar subterranean
changes are frequent on the Mississippi, as for
jastanee, save the Memphis Bulletin :—

* Many years ago a saw will was at work in
the swainpe of Arkansas, twenty miles faci the
Mississippi. The owner awoke one bright morn-
ing to find bie well dry, in which the day before
there wae water three or four feet deep. He cut |
@ treneh to a broad long suriace pond, net far
awey, aud wr again supplied with an abundance
of water. This trench conneeted the poud and)
well, Three days elapsed, and pond and well!
both were empty. The old man of the will was
amazed. The story waa told to a traveller from!
Mewphie. ‘It is plain enough,’ he ead, ‘the|
river ta lower than for years past, and your well
and pond have emptied theme ives inte the great
sewer of the continent.” The Mississippi not!

At Fert Pillow and Randolph every evidence |
of war bas ditappeared, swallowed up by the |
great river. Eartbwerks at Randelpn, built in!
1461, three hundred yards frow the «yore, have
gene to Balize. At beth these places the river
current, as bere at Mempbis, strikes the shore at
slunest right angles. A city paper tells us how a
planter within a week, deposited five thousand
dollars’ worth of aupplies on the river bank some-
where in Atkhansaas, He bad not gouwe hall a
