And drop, as erst proInisd thee,
A true and friendly hre;
And with it send fervent wish,
That Britain long may be
In league with thee for truth and right,
And holy liberty.
The quaire,s in thy family,

And men once slaves to fellow men,

With mrid wars dread signs;
But as the power Of scieLce binds
Our land so close with thine,
So may our hearts, friend Jonsthan,
In peace for aye entwine.

Is RELIGION BEAUTIFUL? ALWAYS g.,
In the child, the maiden, the wife, tho
mother, religion shines with holy :benig-
nant beauty Of its own, which nothing on
earth can mar. Never yet was tie female
character perfect without the steady faith,
piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth they are
like pitfalls, dark on the brightest day, un.
less religion throws her soft beams around
them to purify and exalt, making twice
glorious that which seemed all loneliness
before.
Religion is very beautiful, in health or
sickness, in wealth or poverty. We can
never enter the sick cham Der Of The good,
but soft music seems to float on the air,
and the burden of their song is, sLol peace
isSherc!
Gould welook into thousands Of fami-
lies today, when discomfort fights sullen-
y with life, we should find the chief cause
OF unhappiness, want of religion in woman.

GUS souls; not beneath the clouds for

While softly through the central blue
Faint rays of starlight culver.
So fade iife's light, so falls its night,
Andm"ntles all in sadness,
I'LL stars Of love shine out above
And fill tho soul with gladness.
The ho,neward main we slowly gain
With every oar strokes cadence.

To labor's solemn measure.

WHAT "Is ONE HORSEPOWER"

WHAT "IS ONE HORSEPOWER"
The use Of the term "horsepower," is
very common; yet few, except good me-
chanics and engineers, attach definite
meaning to it, but regard it as indicating,
loosely, about the power which one horse
would exert. II is, however, when used in
the sense under consideration, as definite ms
possible, and means the power required to
lift 33, 600 pounds avoirdupois one fcothigh
in one minute.
A horse pitched to the end of rope over
pully one foot in diameter placed over
deep well, travelling at the ratio Of abou,
2 IL miles per hour, or 900 feet per min
ntc, will draw up $50 pounds the same dis
tance he travels. The force thus excrted
is called in mechanics, "horse power" IL
being an approximation to tho average a
mount Of continuous power it is fair to de-
mand of = strong horse. If wc multiply
the weight raised (l5o pounds) by the
number OF feet it was moved per minute.
(22o) the produc: will be the number of
pounds which The same rowor would raise
one foot high in the same length Of time
$4,000 pounds.)
The dyramoruetcr is an instrument m ade
for measuring power. particularly that ex
erted in drawing. That used for testing
the draft Of agricultural implements are sim
ply very strong spring balances, or spring
stcelyards, graduated to Indicate the power
required to raise any weight, within reas>
onablc limit, at the rate of l , miles per
hour. When we apply the dynamome'er,
in ascertaiuing tho draught Of m,chincs, if
the index indicates $50 pounds, 1t is shown
that the horse is required to draw Just as
hard as he would do if raising $50 pounds
out Of well with rope over pulley one
foot in diameter at the rate of2 9 miles
per hour, anl SO on ior other weights.
Tho velocity at.which team moves is
to be considered, a0well as the weight TO
be raised, or the load to be drawn. Ifa
horse travels faster than . l:s miles per
hour, while raising $50 pounds out Of n
well, he cXerts more than one horse power.
If he walks slower than this, le does not
exert force equal to one horse power.
In ascertaining the draught OF n plow,
or reaper or mower, by drawing faster than
2 miles per hour, the dynamometcr
would Indicate more than the correct
draught,aud by driving slower, the draught
would appear to bo less than it really is.
In testing the draught Of machines a
team should always move at the rate of 2 :
l'2 miles per hour, or 22O feet per minute,
which is the universally accepted rate with
reference to which thermometers are grad :
uated, and aneasy one 10 which tolapploxi-
mate in driving with almost any kind of
team.
Many people have supposed that 500
pounds-two horse epowcr-rcpresented the
same force that team would exert, when
dragging 3o7 pounds along on the ground.
A horse Can haul 600 pounds on the hard
ground, with ease; but lie could not draw
enough on the dynamometcr to mark more
than ESQ or 800 pounds, except for few
minutes. The power Of a man is estimated
at one.fiith Of a horse rower.--1mcrican

THE INDIANS.

Fierce War Waged Against the Whites-A
Great Number Of Them Killed. and Their Stock
stolen-Numerous Trains Attacked Strange
Order of Colonel Manadier.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kansas, September 25.--Infor.
nation received from Fort Laramie Reno, and
Big Horn river, states that one hundred and
fifty whites have been killed by the Indians. The
road from Laramie to Powder river is filed with
graves of murdered men. whole train was
murdered on Big Horn river. Numbers of men
and women have also been killed. The Indians
have become emboldened by their unchecked
success, ind defy the military Red Cloud, prin-
clpal chief at Laramie Peace Treaty, has taken
the war path. A band of Arapahoes attacked
another train on Big Horn, killed seven men,
stole all the stock, and compelled the people to
stop travel. Scouts from Fort Reno report that
the Sioux and Cheyennes attacked that post,
carrying away all their stock. Great complaint
is made against Colonel Darlington, by his
troops, for cowardice. Reports state that train
of two hundred and ffty-siX wagons on the road
fought the Sioux and Cbeyennes all the way from
Fort Laramie to Reno, losing twenty 4 wo men
killed; a great deal OF stock was lost. Thirty
nine men have been killed on Big Horn river.
Colonel Manadier, OF Laramie, Is SAID to have
issued orders that the first white who killed an
Indian should be taken and given to Indians to
be dealt with. There is great complaint against
Manadier and his officers for keeping and feed.
ing Indian women at the forts. The Indians are
well armed and equipped. The grasshoppers
have taken possession OF Kansas and Western
Missouri. Huge swarms are devastating here.
