- A sprightly writer expresses his opinion of old maids in the following manner: q ana inclined to think that many of the satirical aspersions cast upon old maids tell more to their cred it than is generally imagined. Is a woman remarkably neat in her person She will certainly be an old maid Is she particularly reserved toward the other sex? She has all the squeam- ishness of an old maid Is she frugal in her expenses and exact in her do- mestic concerns She is cut out for an old maid. Aud if she is humane to the animals about her. nothing can save her from the appellatiou of an old maid.' In short I have always found that neatnesss modesty, econo- my and humanity are the never-faiTing characteristics of that terrible creature --'old maid-'" "ss.a.

It is selling at fifty cents a bushel, but there is little sale for it, as but few have money to purchase.-- There is much alarm among the whites of that part of the State at the threats uttered by some negroes.

owing, undoubtedly, to the better care
which he had taken of. it and its more
perfect condition. The difference in the
diameter of these pipes was but trifle,
yet it was no doubt the reason of the va
ration in the work of the two locomo-
tives. So it may be often that slight
change in the proportions or the actual
dimensions of parts may insure even
ness and accuracy where the divergence
and uncertainty may have been remark
able and mysterious. ~ oiaL
Z 1t is perfectly we'll known to expert
.enced, practical engineers, that if a
dozen different locomotive engines were
made at the same time, of the same pow
er, for the same purpose, of like materials,
in the same factory, each of those loco
motive engines would come out with its
own peculiar whims and ways, only as
certainable by experience. One engine
will take great deal of coal and water
at once; another will not hear to such
thing, but will insist on being coaxed by
spadesfull and bucketsfull. One is dis
posed to start off, when required, at the
top Of his speed; another must have
little time to warm at his work, and
to get well into it. These peculiari-
ties are SO accurately mastered by
skillful drivers, that only par
ticular men can persuade particular
engines to do their best. 1t would seem
as if some of these "excellent monsters"
declared on being brought out of the
stable, "If it's Smith who is to drive me,
1 won't go. If it's my friend Stokes, l
am agreeable to anything!" All loco
motive engines are low spirited in damp
and foggy weather. They have great
satisfaction in their work when the air
is crisp and frosty. At such time they
are very cheerful and brisk, but they
strongly object to haze and mists.
These are points of character on which
they are all united. 1t is in their pc
culiarities and varieties of character that
they are most remarkable. CaIsr

Curious Whtms and Peculiarities
of Locomotives.

Every experienced engineer-to take
seam engines as an example-has no.
ticed frequently, or repeatedly, says the
Scientific american, that while one engine
developed its full amount of power, or
that quota which was expected of it,
another built after the same patterns,
with the same tools, and by the same
workmen, failed to fulfill the design of
the constructor. Sometimes it is diff
cult, if not impossible, to account for
these differences, but it is noticeable that
they are the more complex, so that it is
natural to suppose that there is some
where in the details, a differ
ence of construction, otherwise
we must impute the variation to some
mysterious agency whose operations are
irremediable by, mechanical skill. But
even when the machine or implement is
simple in its parts and built after un-
varying cages, the differences may oc-
casionally be detected. The little pock-
ct pistol which may be one of thousands
built by the same machinery and work
men, will, in some cases, differ widely
in its execution from others of the same
lot, when careful comparison fails to
detect the reason. That there must be
some variation either in quality of ma.
terial or construction the mechanic is
assured, but lie may not be able
to ascertain what it is. Some
times, however. the causes of
difference may be detected. A case in
point, which we remember, was that of
two locomotives running on the same
road, the machines being so nearly alike
that their parts were interchangeable,
yet which differed widely in their res
pective performances. Repeated exam
nations of the working parts failed to
reveal the cause. The engineer of the
inferior machine spent many hours in
"tinkering" and " coaxing" his engine,
yet it still refused to perform the
work of its mate. As a last re-
sort he measured the apertures of
the exhaust pipes on both engines
and found that while those of
the rival machine measured one and
quarter inches, his measured one and
three-eighthss inches. The pipes being
of copper, he .sdrew in" those of his
engine one-eighth of an inch when it
performed even better than the other,
