noticed n gentleman and lady seated
in close :juxtaposition, and judging
from their conduct, one would we'll
imagine that they were exceedingly
intimate. In front of the comfortable
pair, sat two gentlemen, editors of
two German papers OF this city.
When near Dayton the train passed
through long, dark bridge. Anon 9

cars, n very suspicious concussion
was heard, by those nearest the
gentleman and lady alluded to. As
we emerged into the daylight, one OF
the German editors slowly drew his
spectacles down over his nose, and
exclaimed, 'Vell, I tink dat ish q
tam bad bridge. I heard him crack
one, fs1o, three, four Hmes!" The lady
drew down her veil, and for the
remainder of the trip, these pail
looked mute and quiet.

GREGOR MENZEL'S
RATENT REVOLVING
FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF
DO U BIZ E CYLINDER
8 A IF e!

THE advantage of this Fire and Burglar Proof
Il Safe consists in its peculiar construction. The
most serious objection to Safes heretofore in use has
been their liability to destruction by falling from
heights, and the impoesibity of rendering the doors
impervious to heat particularly in large safes where
square safe is door, These and other objections ap-
picable TO the present mode of making Safes are OBJ
waited by this patent, by constructing it in a cyn-
drical shape, with convex tops and bottoms thus
curing the greatest possible strength and by maxi
ing the interior to revolve upon pivots, bringing
smooth, mpenetrable surface of iron entirely across
the outer opening, with no inlet or seam.
Between this inner compartment and the outer
cylinder, Is an air chamber, extending completely
around, leaving connection between the two
structures but the pivots upon which the interior
cylinder revolves. These advantages are manifold:
but call attention to singular feature of the in,
venton; Ills, that the inner safe is movable, and
when the outer door is opened, the surface of the lat
ter presents an appearance that indicates that the
whole safe is solid mass. The signal importance OF
ed and made to turn its door is Immediately exposed
to view, when the compartments for books drawers
and pigeon holes are exposed. The frame which con-
tans them is also movable and revolves upon piv-
OTIS; SO that, when pushed around brings another
r1es OF divisions for books, drawers and pigeon holes
to the hand thus it is double the capacity of square
safes Not only does this system present greater
sstance to fire, but, for the that the sheets of
iron cannot part from the filing and of there being
no contact OF the inner with the outer surface, lex
ccpt at the pivots, where the filling made purpose
ly thicker but the bullying front of the interior sur
face, without oriiice when turned is equally proof
agaiast burglars.
The contour of this safe is More symmetrical and
durable than the old STYLE ssuscepdbe of higher
namentao and is from the very nature of the case,
easier OF transportation, it be rolled about like
a barrel or hoop.
