The Philadelphia Ledger gives the following
description of novel steam engine which has
been completed by Mr. Jones Block Of that city:
Ii is called the "Impelling engine, and the
whole engine consists of four cylinders, each
9 feet inches long, 10 inches in diameter, and
each containing piston weighing 250 pounds.
Each two opposite pistons connect with rods
No cross heads, piston rods, crnnks or slides are
required, but merely puils for the band, which
is placed at the end of the shaft. This engine is
about twelve horse power, weighs three tons, ard
occupies a space of eight feet by four. The in
yentor claims for it a great saving in the con-
sumption of fuel, in consequence of the direct
| ACTION Of the steam upon the cylinders andl pis
ton, which revolve like arms ola windmill, and
| any amount of power may be- given to these en-,
gines by increasing the length, breadth aud
weight ofthe cylinders. To give it its full pow
efsteam is required as in ordinary steam en-
gines.

A Low VoIcE IN WoMEN.--Yes, We agree
with that old poet who said that low, soft
voice was an excellent thing in woman. Indeed
we feel inclined to go further than he has on the
subject and call it one of her browning charms.
No matter what other attractions she may still
have; she may be as fair as the Trogan Helen,
and as learned as the famous Hypatia of ancient
time; she may have all the accomplishments CON
sidered requisite at the present day, and every
Advantage that wealth can procure, and yet, if
she lack low, sweet voice, she can never be
really fascinating.
How often the spell of beauty is rudeiy bro
ken by coarse. loud talking How often you are
irresistibly drawn to aplain, unassuming woman,
whose soft silyery tones render her positively at
tractiye. Besides, We fancy We can judge OF the
character by the voice; thebland, smooth, iawn-
ing tone seems to us to betoken deceit and hypo'
crisy as invariably as the musical, subducd voice
indicates genuine refinement.
In the social circle, how pleasant is it to heai
woman talk in that low key which always char
acterizes the true lady! In the sanctuary Of
home, how such avoice soothes the fretful child
and cheers the weary husband! How sweet such
cadences float through the sick chamber; ane
around the dying bed, with what solemn mclo
dy do they breathe, prayer for a departing
soul? All, yes, low, soft voiceis certainly "aI
excellent thing in woman

ticc. Several months ago a Mr. Straws of a
neighboring city in Indiana--a person OF consid-
cradle property, became cnamored of his servant
girl, and was not long inducing her oleave with
him on trip OF pleasure. They resorted to this
city, passed themselves off as man and wife, OBJ
tanned boarding at a respectable house on Mar

Grant husband pretended business on this side
of the river, and thus excused himself to his
wife. But unluekiy on a recent sabbath day,
an acquaintance met him as he was proceeding
to church with his quasi wife-who had joined
one of our city churches-and returning to
Hoosierdom reported what he had seen. This
led to suspicious; then Ito investigations, and even
