The Great Invention Of the Age!--Steam Sup

rINHE first half of the nineteenth century will

INI1E first half of the nineteenth century will be
Il recorded as he age of Steam. 1t has passed
and with 1t will pass the steam engine with the
things that We're.
AS commencing the age of Gas--an agent destined
not only to light but TO ENLIcHTEN the world.
This age has now commenced and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. +. Solomon, after twenty six
years of close observation upon the experiments
OF his own aud of others IN attempts to make the
principle of the condensation of carbonc acid gas
available as mechanic motor, has perfected the
same and having Just received letters patent for his
"lmproyed CarIonic Acid Eng ine F." now offers to
dispose of rights for the use thereof to the u
States government, and to individuals TO COM
panes, the rig hts of States, counties, cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
Of human lives and suffering, secured by the US e
of this motor, will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power Is now
used, and IN thousands Of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam EN-
gine has precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
as propelling agent, rom the slngle-horse power
for the cotton-gln to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, of boilers and fur
naces, fuel and fremen, and OF bulk and weight
100 tons weight sufficing for the same power of
300 tons of the steam engine.
These faotS are established by the experimental
engine of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpareil of the
18th instant
"We pleased to state that J. c. +. Solomon,
late of this city, has received patent for his motor
ef carbonlc acid gas, IN its application to an engine.
The successful experiments of this invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"

A message from the President Of the United

Sscrstary Of War In regard to the claims of the
citizens Of California for services and money ad-
vanced in 1886 and AT, in the conquest Of that
country. Read and laid on the table.
Among the petitions and memorials presented,
were the following

RAILROADS IN IOWA.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the
bill granting to the State Of Iowa certain lands for
the benefit Of railroads through its Territory.
Mr. UNDERW WOOD took the floor and spoke
in reply to Mr.. DOUGLAS, and against the bill in
its present shape. He argued that there was all
inconsistency in the position of MIR. D., nasmuch
as he had opposed donations Of public lands to
STATES, but was in favor of giving them to indi-
siduals. If considerations of public policy would
not justify giving them in one case, it certainly
could not in the other, State was a communi-
ty.of individuals He also contendsd that, admit
ting the value of the lands to be increased by the
introduction of the railroads, as argued by the
Senator from Illinois, their sale would be post
poned, from the same cause, ten, twelve per-
haps fifteen years. Mr.. UNDERwooD submitted
an amendment, giving the old States the benefit OF
the lands, as well as the new ones, and addressed
the Senate, upon this point also, until o'cock
when
