CHLoRoFoRM AS a Motive Power. : A
year or two ago, NJ. Du Tremblay, French
civil engineer, exhibited at the Novelty
Works, in New York, an engine in which
the vapor of ether in combination with steam
was used as motive power. Considerable
interest was excited by this invention, but
more particularly in France, and the French
government ordered an engine to be built on
NJ. Du Tremblay's principle. 1t was found
to work admirably, and a saving Of fuel
equal to fifty per cent. was expected to be
realized, when discovery of the highly in
fammable nature of the ether employed
rendered its adoption on steam vessels mex,
pedieut. This difficulty, however, has beer
removed through the instrumentality of M
La Fond, French naval officer high sci
entifc attninmenls, who proposes to max
Du Tremblay's invention available for ma
rne purposes by substituting chloroform TO
ether. The French government has order
ed two engines. of 60 horse power, to b.
built and placed on board theGallllee, man
of-war, constructed expressly for the pur
pose. Two other vessels have also bee
ordered to be fitted with engines upon tn
same principle.

Coop, IF NOT TRUE.--We find the follow
ing in the spirited R ugh Notes of Buffalo:
"Somebody tells story to the effect that
Martin Nan Buren, while on tour through
the west in 1910, was overset in stage
coach, and as he stood up to his knees in
mud, he asked the driver how the accident
happened, and was told by that parsonage
that he had already upset eleven Members
of Congress, and by SO doing, had secured
the votes ofevery one of them for apProPri-
ations to the National Road, and as he nev-
er before had President for a passenger,
he thought he would improve the opportuni-
ty by doing his duty to the West in endeav'
oring to prevent a veto, in case another ap'
preparation should pass. The argument o.
the driver was certainly forcible one,and il
would be we'll If he could have the handling
for few miles of travel, of the Democratic
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency. However, it matters very lit
tie, for the people have determined to uPse
them both this fall" ....

-CunA- AND rHE UNITED STATKs. - The
.Noop-of- War Cyane ordered 70 Hdudnd.-We
learn from the New York Times, Of yester-
day, that orders were received from the Navy
Department at Washington on Saturday
night, directing the sloop-of-war Cyane, U.
N. Hollins, commander, to prepare imme-
diately for sea, and to sail for Havana at the
earliest moment possible, AS the CyRne
had iust arrived from Norfolk, she was ready
for sea, and accordingly took her departure
on Sunday morning. She was towed out
side the Hook, in order to get fair breeze,
aud is now on her way TO Cuba. 1t is also
reported that the U. s. steam frigate Mis-
sissippi has been ordered to follow the Cyane
with all despatch.
The object OF this movement aithough
nothing certain can be known in regard d, 10
lit, cannot he difficult of conjecture Inc
treatment to which American vessels are
now systematically subjected by the Spanish
authorities of Cuba, renders Indispensable
the presence OF a strong naval iorce lol
their prot ,ction. The Times says:
"We take it for granted that the com
manders of these vessels will be INSTRUCTED
to avoid everything which can give the span
Iish authorities the slightest ground OF JUS
complaint, but at the same time to resist an
lrepel, at every hazard, and by all needtu
measures, every attempt to exercise nnuu
authority over vessels of the United states

A SINGING MousE,-The Buffalo Com
mercial relates curious fact in natural
history lately developed at the American
Hotel in that city A family having rooms
in that hotel, lately left town for few
weeks. On their return they found that n
mouse was in the habit of constantly visit
ing the cage OF a canary bird which had re-
maincd in the room during their absence,
having taken the opportunity of forming the
acquaintance during the usual stiffness of
the apartment. To the surprise of the
family it was found that the mouse had
been taking lessons in singing of its mu-
steal friend, and would constantly give forth
notes in exact imitation of the canary's
tone, but low and sweet. The little crea-
ture now visits the cage nightly, eats of the
seed, and endeavors by its singing to excite
the attention aud call forth the notes of the
bird.
