A WONDERFUL CANNON SHOT. -
During the firing of the salute on Jack
son Square, New Orleans, on Monday,
the 9Th inst, one Of the shots had a
wonderful effect, for it not only restored
hearing, but speech, to young man
who had been deaf and dumb for the
past three years, the result of severe
sickness. He was born in Quebec, but,
subsequent to his misfortune, he went
to New York, and then made his way
down here. About midday, on Mon
day, he was praying in the St. Louis
Cathedral, when he suddenly heard
cannon, the noise being accompanied
with or producing instantly a cold,
crushing sensation through the ear, a
choking sensation about the throat, and
a feeling as of something breaking in
both places. He reeled out of the
church, and heard another shot, but
literally "could not believe his ears. ;"
A third shot satisfied him, and also that
he could speak, so he burst into tears
His name is Joseph Wells; is six foot
er in stature, and an intelligent young
man, and speaks, as before, both French
and English.

IN the manufacture of Vehicles for
the trade, and private. use, the propri-

workmen, and nothing leaves the es-
tablishment without undergoing eri-
teal examination, and by this means
all work cannot but prove acceptable
to the purchaser. By deyoting num-
Der of years to the practical portion of
the Carriage and Wagon Making
Business, the subscriber deems himself
sufficiently experienced to be capable

for their patronage, it win be seen that
nothing is overdrawn = nothing en-

MAGNETIZING LOCOMOTIVES
correspondent of the Tribune, who
was present at the recent trials on the
n. j. Central Railroad, of the plan of
magnetizing locomotive wheels, in or
der to increase their adherence to the
tracks, states that they were very sue
cessful. He gives the following state
ments of the experiments
Numerous parties interested in rail
road matters were present at these
trials. 1t was demonstrated that mag
netism increased the adhesion of the
wheels nearly, if not quite, eighty per
cent, without adding pound to the
weight. 1t was shown that the pow
er required to slip the wheels of a
twenty ton engine was equal to
what would have been necessary to
slip them if the engine had been load
ed with dead weight of eighteen
tons more than her own weight. Yet
the driving wheels only were magneti-
zed. The apparatus which accom-
pFshes this curious result is light, SIM
pie and cheap, not likely to get out Of
order, and can be attached to any new
or old engine. 1t will enable light
engines to draw loads as great as
much heavier ones do now, and to
make time when rails are stifening
with ice, as no sand will be needed
hereafter. Fewer engines will be
needed to do the same amount of bus
mess bridges will not be so frequently
broken down, sleeper grades can be
assembled, and the whole superstruc-
ture saved the destructive wear and
tear which modern locomotive mon
sters are known to occasion. The
trials witnessed were remarkable.
When the magnetism was turned off
the wheels, they slipped round freely,
and the engine stood still. When it
was turned on, the drivers instantly
stopped sliding and took hold of the
rails with astonishing tenacity. En-
gineers looking on were loud in their
admiration, and referred to various
times when the use of such an appar-
atus would have saved them from sun
dry disasters from slippery rails.
The wheels are magnetized by the
following simple continuance The
front drivers are surrounded by a coil
OF copper wire transversely, consisting
OF some 800 turns, making helix six
inches high by three thick, all the
wires being insulated from one anoth-
er and made proof against damp.
Each end of the helix is supported by
the engine and through it the wheels
plays, the helix being curved to the
shape of the wheel, and fitting up with
in half an inch
A wire connects the outside of one
coil with the inside of another. The
helixes are connected to battery on
the engine. In the circuit of the cur
rent, within reach of the engineer, is
placed a closer, by which, on turning
a handle in one direction or another.
the wheels are magnetized, one or
both, as may be desired. Various 9th
er accessories are provided, not necess-
airy to describe.
At first sight the invention seems to
be quite a successful one. It has
been applied to engines on the Cen
trail Railroad and performs admirably.
an engine weighing 81 tons doing as
much work as one Of 36tons. IF prov
ed by experience to be really good
thing, it will save millions of dollars
for American railroads.
