After the transaction of important business
remarks were made by several of the men,
bers touching the state Of affairs on the Mi

of sympathy for those, who, through the in
justice of the officers thereof, had been
thrown out of employment. The following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Officers and especially the
Master Mechanic of the Michigan Southern
Railroad have by their injustice and harsh
measures compelled a number Of good, sober,
intelligent and competent Engineers to be
thrown out of employment, ana in their
stead employing incompetent, reckless,
drunken, unskillfu men, to run their engines,
thereby enGangering the lives and property
of the travelling public, their arowed pur-
pose being to break down the Brotherhood
IF Locomotive Engineers. Be it therefore
Resolref, That we condemn most EN-
phaticaily the action taken by the Officers
Of the Michigan Southern Railroad.
Resolved, That we sympathize most
deeply with those men whom their injustice
has thrown out Of employment.
ReSoired, That a contribution Of Five
Dollars be made by the Locomotive En-
gineers of this place, for the purpose of
assisting the members Of the Brotherhood
now out Of employment in Chicago and along
the line Of the Michigan Southern Railroad,
and that the money be sent to the care of
Mr.. Robert Waugh, Chicago, for that pur-
pose.
Eesolved, That Mr.. J. Spear be requested
to act in this matter, and solicit subscrip-
tons on the Western Division of the Selma
and Meridian Railroad.
ResotUed, That a copy Of the foregoing
resolutions De published in the w WORKING

SELF-AcTISG CLccKs-RENARKABL DI
covERY.-A novel application Of electro
magnetism, as a motive power for clock
work, has Just been perfected by a working
jeweler, at bennington, which promises 10
introduce new era in the science Of clock
making, and to bring modern timepieces CO
state Of absolute perfection. BY the new
arrangement the pendulum, the hos or ball
OF which consists Of an electro magnetic
coil, il made 70 oscillate by means Of a
feeble current of electricity, this beating

only. One Of the advantages of this
system il that a number Of clocks in differ
ent parts, or even in different houses, can be
connected together by a single wire, and the
whole number will indicate the same time
to second. The clocks are Of the simplest
construction, and never need winding up.
No acid battery is used. Mr.. Bright, the
discoverer, has secured the plan by patent.
The clocks are spoken Of a. being far

BROTHERS We appeal 10 you for your
sympathy and pccuniary aid to carry out the
object for which we have been standing out
this last five weeks, namely, the restriction
Of our hours Of labor to eight
We have already exhausted our society
funds in supporting our members out on
strike We now call on you to aid in this
great movement. Called upon to lead the
"forlorn hope" we threw ourselves in the
breach at time when our resources were
xhausted-for it il well known fact that
the business Of painting is tery slack from
December to March.
Though we have gained partial success
and all that are working are doing so on the
Eight Hour rule, still there are a large
number unemployed that require aid and
immediate relief, which, if not forthcoming,
may end in disaster to the cause.
Therefore, We appeal to your generosity
to sustain US while we fight this great battle
of right against tyranny and wrong.
Yours, in the bonds Of Union.

THE CIGAR-SHIP.-The Winans' "Cigar-
Ship" which was recently launched at Ion
don, is a novelty in naval architecture. Ste
IS the shape Of cigar except that both ends
are sharply pointed. She j. intended ex-
clusively for the passenger trade across the
ocean, her space being very limited The
means Of propulsion employed are two laIg'
screws, one at either end Of the vessel, an
placed within very short distance az TIL
extreme points, OF AZ a distance Of about Oh,
hundred and twenty feet from the machinery.
These propelers are to be Of great diameter
and sharp pitch, the one pushing, the other
pulling the vessel, and each showing half Of
its surface above the water. The estimated
speed is about twenty seven miles per hour.
A short distance from the propeller, and
nearer to the centre Of the vessel, Is the rud-
der-one at each end-a broad iron plate
like the rudder, or rather steering paddle Of
the ancient galleys. These are also rather
more than one hundred feet from the steer
ing apparatus.

This project is about to be brought before
the public in business form. In a circu-
lar which has just been issued BY Nathaniel
j. Holmes, engineer of the company, it is
said 1.-THE northern route by the Faroes,
iceland, and Greenland has the important
Advantages of being divided into four sec
IONS, in place Of one unbrokeA span, namely,
Scotland to the Faroes, ESQ; Faroes to Ice
land, 240; Iceland to Greenland, 700; Green
land to Belle Isle, 720. BY the subdivision
Of the cable into short sea lengths the risk
Of loss in submersion is greatly reduced, the
length Of each individual span bein perfectly
manageable, and the cable, as far as Iceland,
being submerged in shallow seas, is avail
able for repair in case Of accident without
difficulty. II being an established law that
the speed Of transmission Of all submarine
cables is in proportion TO their length, it fol-
lows that the shorter the several sections
composing line are the greater the speed
Of transmission. Hence the northern route
will, in comparison with the direct route,
transmit in round numbers as fifteen words
to Eve words, or with at least three times
the speed; this circumstance, as Professor
WheatstoEe observes, will give the northern

which promises to take practical shape and
result in the permanent advancement of
those directly interested. The molders have
organized Association purchased thirty
SIX lots in the vicinity Of j. b. Carr 4 Co.'s
chain works, upon which they intend to
erect a furnace and undertake business for
themselves. The lots were purchased yes
terday Of p. j. Marsh for the sum Of $3.50,
and are well located and adapted 10 the
purpose indicated. A charter for the As

Legislature, with s. <. Mann, f. Clarkson,
Lawrence Koran, James O'Brien, John San
ford, p. McGoulreik, and James Robinson,

stock is fixed at subscriptions
limited to $4,000. We understand that
about $40, 900 have already been taken, and
that the projectors feel confident of raising
the balance without difficulty. Indeed, so
determined are they and 80 confident Of sue
