sons since to think that I was mistaken.
I suppose it took two minutes to wind
it, when he mounted it, and started it
by pulling up the steel bar. 1t moved
gradually off, so that for the first minute
I could walk along side Of it, but pres
emily it started at the speed Of fast
horse, and in a moment more was lost,
going round the curve of the circle.
I suppose you know the great exposi-
ton of a series of concentrio rings, each
one devoted to a peculiar branch Of in
dustry. The one the machine was run
ming on was the Nuulero Quartre, section
del Mecanique8, and is among the larg-
est, measuring some yards, more than
an English mile. It seemed to me to
be incredible that he should have per-
formed that circuit in two minutes and
twelve seconds. A hearty clapping of
hands greeted the macbirn as it came
.careering on, and gradually stopping
without any apparent trouble.
noticed the emperor, generally taoi-
turn, loud in his applause, clappiDg his
hands as Justify as I did, and 1 was as
sured by NJ. de NJ, that he had never
seen his majesty on any occasion before
show that least sign Of oommendation.
The inventor then said that he would
put it up to its speed, but to do that he
must give the machine start. He then
wheeled round, and just like a jockey
starting a horse, got it up to its maxi
mum; as he passed us he seemed to be
flying. A new salvO Of applause met
him as be brought the machine to where
the emperor was standing, and I must
say I felt some just emotion when the
emperor took the Legion of Honor from
his buttOnhole and placed it on the
young inventors breast.
NJ. told me that its endurance, if l
may use the term, was extraordinary
that at its highest speed it would keep
on going for four hours. I was led to
believe that the mechanical power was
secondary in it, and that q galvanic bat
terry was the real motive power. 1t is
rumored that a battery of constantly in
creasing elements sustaius the motion.
Anyhow the secret is well kept, the
Emperor having, with the inventor, the
only knowledge of it. NJ. also told me
that at Vineennes q battery of artillery
was to be moved with it instead Of
horses.
I may add that saw four persons
mount it, and it moved much more rap
idly than would a Garage. An interest
ing experiment was made as to It's capa-
bility Of going over rough country
Several loads Of dirt were shot on the
floor, and it passed over it with appar-
ent ease. One thing I remarked was
that there was a perpendicular play in
the wheels, and that as a difficulty vas
surmounted, ono wheel would be higher
than the other, whilst the body was on
the same plane.
I think that it has been placed pur.
pOsely in a retired part in the exposition,
and I learned this morning that the
secretary of war has had it removed
from the exhibition.

The Automaton HOrse-A Wonderful
Invention.

The following description of new in
vention now on exhibition at the great
show in Paris, We clip from a private
letter published in the Charleston Couri-
er of the 7th:
81 was fortunate to be present yes
terday evening at a private view of this
wonderful invention. The throng at the
exposition is so dense in the day time
that any attempt to work it during the
exposition hours was impossible
Through the kindness Of NJ. de NJ,
whose acquaintance I made in 1853.
when he was attaced at Washington, I
formed one of fifty persons provided
with special permits. On entering
groups Of the Cent Gordie made me
think the Emperor was present but I
did not see him until the middle of the
exhibition. I saw among the curious.
Nasmyth, of hammer celebrity, and
Whitworth, arm in arm with Howe, of
sewing machine nOtoriety.
The Iron horse bears no resemblance
to its equine namesake Imagine a
tankshaped box about seven feet long,
and wide enough for a man to saddle,
and about five feet high the whole
concern mounted on five wheels the
wheels concealed, however, under the
machine. 1t is covered with leather,
and has a saddle is very high in front
and back, so that there is no chance of
being unhorsed. In front is a steering
apparatus Of the simplest kind-twO silk
cords-just before the saddle a steel bar,
which regulates the speed. If you pull
it up, you start the machine pull it
higher up, you increase the speed; if.
you depress it, you slow until point is
reached, when the apparatus stops.
The inventor, quite young man,
commenced winding up the machine with
what seemed to me to be a crank motion,
and as I distinctly heard the click of
the rachel, therefore supposed it was
worked by coil spring, but ] have Tea.
