Forage is out of the question, and provis-

Stray Tho lights on Mecca.

We made 4 trip to Mecca. 4 few days
since, where We had not been for some time.
We have had a desire to revisit the spot
where we have whiled many a hard "hOur
away" tending engine for a Ii living. Yes,
we have a fresh recollection of this. We
remember how we kept house in a shanty,
and with what dignity and decorum we
presided at the head of the culinary de-
partment. So much for our experience.
But, alas, how changed. Mecca, like
Rome, Babylon and Troy. is fallen low in
the dust. They are disrObed of their
splendor and glory. and PROSTATE l Ike gi-
ants they lie. Mecca is no more. Her
sun went down at noon. The life-blood
which coursed in her reins has been drag1l
ont. and she is left as a monument Of the
past.
We are gladto think she died in peace,
For when she died, she died in grease.
But why mOralize? Why give thought
to this spot which history has not yet re-
corded? History will record the mighty
deeds done in Mecca.
There is not much now to interest or in
struct the stranger. There are only a few
wells pumping, as most of them have fail
ed. We had heard from time to time of a
well which was pumped by a hot air en-
CINE, and, as We had never seen one, we
felt a desire to see it. We were shown
the engine, its construction, and its mode
of working, by Mr.. Lewis, the owner of
the engine, well, &c. 1t occupies a space
of only Z feet by 4, and is a six horse
power. The diameter of the cylinder is
81 inches. The construction is simple but
strong.
The advantage of this over steam en-
gines, is that there is no danger of explO-
sion, no steam being used, it consumes on
ly one-third as much fuel as steam engines;
and is more easily managed.

of one of the most important achievements
of the war so far. This information is
that the United States blockading squad

of one of the five mouths of the Mississip-
pi river to the sand spit which commands
the whole five of them, and now have the
Yincenncs, Water Witch, and two other
vessels of the squadron to protect the
prompt erection of works which. in less
than a week, will command all five of the
mouths, passes or entrances to and from

built, this work alone will absolutely con-
