room in the Custom House new magnetic
annunciator, invented we believe, by Mr..
John .Blackic '' 's-
Every steamboat traveller is familiar with
the occasional sharp ringing notes of.the bell
by which the pilot from his lookout telegraphs
his orders to the engineer, q go ahead" "stop,"
bach" fast, "slow," &c. are orders which.
are indicated by one, two, three or more strikes
of the bell, and on our Western rivers where
the navigation is often extremely difficult, and
orders succeed each other rapidly it is not
surprising that the engineer sometimes become
confused and mistakes fast for "slow," and
stop for ego ahead, with the most disas-
trous results ,- - ...=..... ...u ....,
Mr. Blackie's invention is intended and we
should judge from what we saw of its opera

objections that were manifest in the old sys-

Hisinvention consists of an instrument with
Of the general appearance Of a
clock, with the general orders, "stop,' ego

key for each of the orders. The Pilot
desires to stop the engine and touches the

The AK that Would not Cut.
BY NINA CLAUS.

Hans Klausten was q mean man, a very
mean man indeed, or he never would have
lent that ak to a neighbor, for Hans had a
new ak, sharp and bright, that would chop a
stick in twinkling, but this one he always
kept for his own private use, and whenever a
poor neighbor came to borrow an ak to cut q
little wood, Hans would lend him that old
long-handled, worn-out AK that would not split
pine chip ~ ! rri.,a.4,.. -,
Hans was cobbler; he mended all the
shoes in the village, nor did he eon6ne his
mending powers to shoes, since he was expert
at mending most anything Except his man
ners," the good housewives used to say; pity
he could not mend these for they were such
that he was called "Surly Hans.
Ithappcned one autumn evening that Hans
opposite neighbor, Silas Goodman, kind
hearted man, stood warming his hands by the
stove in Hans shop, when poor man living
near by came to ask Hans to lend him an AK
Hans as usual, lent him the ak that would
not cut, so after little while the poor man
brought it back, saying, :" the ax,would moi

and l suppose boys know pretty well what that
means. They used to spend their money in
eating and drinking, and often ran up large
bills which their friends sometimes found it
hard to pay. They wanted the new scholar
to join them, and they always contriyed, by

almost any boy they wanted into their meshes.

The boys felt there was no headway to be
made against such new scholar All they
said hurt themselves more than him, and they
liked better to be out of his way than in it

around him, and never did they work or play
