AN IMPROVED HYDRAULIC EHGrNE.-We
have been much interested in new ma
chine for the application Of water power,
the invention Of Major Lnther NJ. Sabin,
of st. Louis. By this continuance the
pressure Of column Of water is used
somewhat as the expansive pressure Of
steam is used, to produce a piston and
shaft motion. From vat or strong square
box tube rises to the height Of forty or
fifty feet, according to the power required,
and at the top Of the tube is small vat,
sufficient to receive the water supply and
transmit it to the tube and vat below.
Entering the latter at the side and near
the bottom are two cylinders, with pistons
and valves. The water pressure drives
each piston alternately, with slight exhaus-
ton of water, and with force proper
toned to the height Of the tube. Ma
chinery may be applied to lever attached
to the pistons, or directly to the pistons.
The water can be raised by the hydraulic
ram or supplied from reservoir when
convenient.
Any rejecting person will see that here
is an invention of astonishing simplicity
and great value. The original cost, COM
plexity, expense Of working, and danger
Of steam engine, can by this plan be dis
pensed with in multitudcs Of cases. The
matter is eminently worthy the attention Of
machinsts.-St. Louis Democrat.

one OF THE "LATE LAMENTED's" STO-
RIEs.-The character Of the delegates to
the Convention $50 called) in this State
brings to mind one Of the "late lament
eds" happy stories, and his stories were
always pointed.
A king ont hunting one day was met by
a farmer riding jackass, who-the farm
or, not the .jackass-advised his majesty to
return home speedily, as it would soon
rain. AS the court astronomer had not
foretold wet weather the prediction of the
blunt churl was disregarded. But it rain
ed, nevertheless, and the king was tho
roughly drenched. In great anger the
king sent for the astronomer, and de-
manded why he had not warned him Of
the storm. The man of the stars replied
that he never knew when it would rain
until the drops were falling. The king
Immediately sent for the farmer, and in
CURED how he knew of the coming storm.
The latter replied: -" ! did not know Of
my own knowledge, but through the beast
l was riding. He always manifcsts his in
tuition of an approaching storm by wag-
ging his ears up and down." Whereupon
the astronomer was dismissed, and the ass
installed in his stead. "And," said Mr..
Lincoln, classes have all been ofiice-seek-
ers ever since, and they always get them"

A SENSIBLE RADIcAL.-The St. Louis
Democrat, in spite of its name, one of the
most malignant Radical Journals in the
country, says:
"To return to specie payment, we must
have something to send to Europe in ex-
change for our purchases. We used to
send cotton. Now, as if on purpose to cut
our own Threats, We tax cotton, and when
Louisiana asks aid to build levees, Con-
gress answers, Build them yourselves,
you rebels' Is there any sense in such
legislation The prosperity of the South
is as necessary to the whole country as
that Of any other section. When we en-
barrass its industry, we embarrass our
selves. Let us have the tax on cotton re-
pcaled on precisely the same principle
that we remove burdens from other forms
Of domestic industry"
