county, exhibited u.s. few days ago: model OF an IN
venlion designed improvement in the running gear
of rail road cars Ii known that the wheels and aXes Of
cars unlike those of other carriages are solid The conse
quence is that both wheels obliged TO make the same
number Of revolutions curves although one wheel has
greater distance travel than the other. This produces
friction injury tho rails and is The cause OF the cara rum
ming off To obviae objections from this source
Mr. TBS invention gives separate axle TO each wheel so
constructed combine strength with the usual facility OF

uablc invention for The object designed II is The intention
of Mr. T. Its merits practically at an early aay0n
some Of the rail roads of the Stae and Ne hope may
prove valuable improvement, as promises be-

THE COSTUME QUESTION WELL DkESSED.
The Day Book takes the following reasonable view Of
the Costume question" applicable to mir. Buchanan
our Minister in England:-
The Secretary of State pescbcs that The representatives
OF the United States abroad shall appear in plain citizens
dress and no other Ministers blamed and
praised according the peculiar Of each writer for
disobeyuG or conforming to these instructions.
The question simply Of social right; Tor OF
avcs abroad have been received with neglect
slight in any OF their exclusively diplomatic relations with
the Governments which they credited In the OF
Great Britain especially stated in Parliament that all
the purely diplomatic and official intercourse between Mr.
Buchanan and the English Government had gone har
moniously and without interruption The only fact With
respect Mr. Buchanun's costume is that Mr. Buchanan
himself not invited the royal entertainments simply
because he declined conform 10 The etiquette respect
costume, established in The Queens household.
Now, every body who gives parties receptions or balls
in any country has the unQusstioncd right OF deciding
the character, and the and etiquette which shall
prevail on the occasion Mr.. Buchnnsu the moment his
official and diplomatic duties performed WAS more
any other private citizen visitor in London II no
wished expected TO be invited the social
of Queen Victoria, both gullanlry and common tcla
ted that he should ucccdc The established
entertainments.
We need 60 out OF our own city for an illustration Of
this principle, which Is Of universal application throughout
