The success attending the undertaking of
Messrs. Lee Larned, in running their self
propelling steam fire engine from Jersey City
to Philadelphia, affords reasonable presump-
ton that il will not be many years before steam
carriages upon common roads will supersede
those drawn by horses. 1t was the Intention to
run the engine all the distance to Ph.lad elphia;
but tho condition Of the bridges upon the ordi-
nary roads was too untrustworthy for 50 great
q weight-l2,000 lbs, with all the fuel, water,
and passengers, which accompanied it,
At Bristol however, the engine was put upon
its own resources, and, with nine passengers il
commenced its journey, the only doubt being
in reference to its endurance and speed on long
pulls, and its power Of overcoming high grades,
the road not only settled all these questions,
but developed a reserved power far beyond the
requirements Of any ordinary duty. 1t had
been the intention to keep the carriage which
preceded the engine with other passengers
ahead, but it was soon apparent that this could
not be done. The engine in very few min
utes overlook it, held up to it, got another
start, came up again, and finally passed it, and
arrived at Neshamony Bridge, a half a mile or
more ahead, having made the distance, three
miles, In exactly 10 minutes running time The
road was smooth, with a hard bed and light
grades, covered all the way, however, with
more or less Of loose material, with occasional
suetcnee ol pretty deep sand On examination
the engine was found to be all right. With the
steam at $50 lbs, the engine was driven at
high speed over a bridge which was not consid-
cred strong enough to bear long continued
weight, and then up hill with an inclination
of one foot in ten. With every valve wide
open, and all steam on, it wbirled along the
slope, apparently at the highest locomotive
speed, and approaching the steep pitch, sur
mounted it with unfaltering tread, hurried far
on along the level summit, and stopped, in ex-
actly one minute from the time Of starting,
having traversed in that short interval a dis
tance of fully one thousand feet. The next
mile was made in five minutes, the following,
which included the ascent Of another long hill,
in six. The result of the experiment through
out was that it was found to be perfectly easy
to maintain on fair grade, a motion at the
rate of IL miles per hour; that when there was
any occasion for it, this rate could be increased
one-fourtI or one-half; that the steepest and
longest hills could be assembled at the rate of
ten miles per hour. The whole time occupied
on the trip was five hours thirty-fo minutes,
while the actual running time was but min
ute or two over two hours.-Phifa Ledger.

tY@ The City of Mantua, in the famous
Quadrangle, {" is built on small island formed
by the Mincio. The superfcies of this is up
ward Of 100 acres. Close to this island there is
another Of about the same extent. The two
islands are completely surrounded by the
waters of the Mincio, and situated about half
mile from each bank of the river. Mantua can
be entered only by crossing dykes, or passing
along very narrow causeways, of which there
are two on the left bank and three on the right
These 1--WE passages are each defended by bas-
toned fort A broad canal intersects the CITY
of Mantua in its whole breadth. This canal is
navigated by boats from the Po, by which the
transit of merchandise is effected The city of
Mantua contains about g, ,000 inha bitants: il is
we'll built; the houses large, and the streets
broad. Two suburbs are connected with the
city by fortified bridges. These bridges are
called the Borgo di Fortrezzo and the Borgo di
San George OF the defensive works which
surround the fortresses, the most important is
Ceresa. Napoleon I. took possession of Mantua
in 1876. Mantus is considered to be the kew of
Italy, rather on account of its geographical Il
position than its means of defence Marshal
Surrurier remarked that Z" the difficulty is not
to take Mantua, but to approach it."

Sabbatafian Letters-Letter from the Assis.
tant Postmaster General.

Those of our readers no wish to send letters
on long journey Saturdays, without losing any
secular time, and yet without employing any
of the time embraced within the Lords Day,
will be relieved by the following letter from
the Assistant Postmaster General By this il
appears that if request be superscribed on
the envelope, the Sabbatarian's epistle may,
like himself, rest on the Sabbath day, though
the bulk Of the mail goes forward. 1t will be
interesting to see, by the annual report of such
requests, how many Sabbatarians are willing
to avail themselves of this mode of suspending
the Sunday mail. The letter is addressed to a
correspondent of the Presbyterian, who thus
explains his case:
" Such a case as this sometimes occurs On
Saturday morning a man wishes to send off
letter on two days journey. It perplexes
him to think that one of those days will be Sun
day. This letter is too decidedly represen-
tative Of himself, and too analogous to a SER
want or agent, for him to feel no concern at its
lourneying on the Lords day. Or, at least,
his letter will add too much of fraction to that
mass Of letters which in legislative minds
renders the Sunday mails a necessary institu-
ton. At the same time he cannot we'll wait
and let it travel on Monday and Tuesday He
will be satisfied IL il travels on Saturday and
Monday and rests somewhere on Sunday But
is there any way in which he can secure it's
resting at a distribution Office or elsewhere /!
In view of several such and analogous cases, in
my own experience and that Of others and to
answer the question to which they give rise,
sent an inquiry to the Post Office Department
to this effect "Would n notice of this sort
To lie over on the Sabbath be respected by
the post Office officials" | have received the
following answer, which at least manifests a
good spirit on the part of the Department in
reference to the matter: SEDGELEr
"Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

"Sir: In answer TO your note of the 2Sth in
slant, have TO inform you that if q letter is
placed in the Post Office with the direction upon
Ii " To lie over on the Sabbath, :" the postmaster
at the mailing Office would no doubt respect
such direction; but the letter being once posted ,
under envelope, to its address, would not again
be seen until it arrived at its destination, lex
cept when Obliged to pass through a distribu-
tiOn ofice,) and, of course, any such direction
would be Of no avail. At distribution Offices
where the mails have to be handled generally
with great dispatch, it is very doubtful whether
such direction would be regarded, although, if
not overlooked, it would be proper for the post
master to obey it.
