New STEAM ENG1NE.--At the
British Alkali Works, Stoke Prior, a
steam engine has been invented by
laboring mechanic, and is daily in full
operation, which will certainly SUPER
cede every other now in use, and that
too, in very short time; as the sim
plicity Of its construction, the small
ness of its size, and the almost nothing
mess of its cost, will necessarily bring
lit speedily into notice. Its size is not
more than twice that of mans hat,
and the expense Of fye-horse power
will not exceed in cost half-a score Of
pounds. Its form is cylindrical, being
about eighteen inches in diameter, and
twenty-five deep. The steam is adj
mitted through hole in hollow cir
cular belt attached to walD upon
which it revolves, and works by ,ii-
agonal action, against an upright piston,
being forced out Of the pressure by
diagonal plate which divides into two
portions The rotary action is beauti-
|ful, by means of perfectly spherical
Isteam-tight joint, at the end of fixed
inclined arm, towards which joint the
upper and lower surfaces Of the interi-
or parts of the cylinder are made to
slope, after the form Of the exterior Of
an hour-glass. Upon those the dag
onal plate performs its revolutions,
such movement being permitted thro'
an opening (from the circumference to
the centre) equal in width to the thick
ness of the before-namcd upright pis-
ton, up and down the sides of which
it continually works. To the centre
of the bottom Of the cylinder is fixed
a shaft, having attached it to wheel
which communicates the motion that
may be required; and this is all the
machinery of which it consists! When,
therefore, we consider the saving of
weight of metal, size and expense,
which will necessarily be gained by its
adoption, and look at the incalculable
advantages which this desiderato af-
ford to steam navigation, our scientific
friends will not consider us too bold in
asserting that this invention will speed
lily revolutionize the whole system in
this department of mechanics. Pat
ents have been procured from every
European Government, and from A.
merican; and no secret is made at the
works in showing to the public, either
in action or separate pieces, and is a
model which is kept for the purpose.
A challenge was recently sent to the
President of Texas by Col w. s. Fish
err, late Secretary Of War; the Presi-
dent Immediately referred it to his SER

GRADUATION OF THE PRICE OF TIKI
PUBLIC LANDS.

4
Next to the Divorce Bill, the oppo-
sition appear to have ssholy horror"
of the Graduation bill.-By the pas
sage Of this latter bill, all the schemes
of their great file leader, Mr.. Clay,
would be crushed, and in the wreck OF
his willy schemes, would be included
the final overthrow of his long cherish
cd anticipations of glory. TO defeat
this measure the administration, they
publicly contend that the reduction in
the rrice is not intended to take effect
until the FIVE, ten, fifteen and twenty
years spoken of in the Bill, shall have
expired after the 3oth day of June
1888. The language Of the bill is as
plain as it can be made, and there is no
man who will read it, that can put
such construction upon it. 1t reads
thus: "That from and after the 3Oth
day Of June, 1888, all of the public
lands Of the United States which re-
main unsold, after having been offered
at private sale, at one dollar and twenty
five cents per acre for five years, shall
be subject to entry at one dollar per
ocre; and all those which have been so
offered for ten years, shall be subject
to entry at seventy five cents per acre;
and all those which shall have been so
offered for fifteen years, shall be sub
ject to entry at fifty cents per acre;
and all those which shall have been so
offered for.twcnty years, shall be sub
ject to entry at twenty-five cents per
acre.
There is no installing this language,
and it's worse than folly for the Wings
to attempt to impose upon the credulity
Of those who have not, perhaps, had an
opportunity to examine the Bill. The
Wings in this State have almost invari-
ably opposed this bill, and simply, be-
cause the great Henry Clay had one Of
his own which he wished to carry
through, and which would operate pow
erlully against the interests Of the west.
Can men, who oppose the Graduation
bill, and support Mr. Clay's scheme to
deflaud tie Western States Of their
just and legitimate rights, be consider
ed friends to the West?-Can the au-
thor Of the bill opposed to the gradual
ing the price of the public lands, be
frienly TO western interest? We think
not. The people have repeatedly cx-
pressed their disapprobation of Mr..
Clay's bill, and when it comes to the
test, they will not only give their voices
against the bill but its author.
