THE FRIEND STREET RAILROAD The
committee appointed by the meeting of the
friends of the proposed street railroad on
Friend street, met yesterday, and perfected
their arrangements. There seems to be no
doubt of the success of the enterprise. That
it is needed, no one can deny, more perhaps
than any similar improvement now pro-
iected. The proposed road being on the
National Road, being the property OF the
State. it will be necessary for the Legisla-
ture to grant the right of way. If this can
be done without detriment to the public
interest, it should be, and without delay.

HAYS ELECTRO. CHEMICAL BOILER Pro-
TECToR.-Any discovery calculated to les
sen or entirely obviate the tendency to
boiler explosions, should be countenanced d
by every individual or corporation using
steam as motive power. We notice with
great qualification the favorable action of
the joint committee of the Legislature, rela-
tive to the protection of steam boilers
The committee, after careful examination
and due inquiry, found that by the use OF
this apparatus "the boiler metal is pre-
served from oxydation or corrosion; all
mineral aggregations or incrustations upon
the inside of the boiler are prevented, and
hence, durability, economy and safety nec-
essarily follow.''
We cheerfClly add our testimony to that
of many others who are now using Hays
apparatus in its decided favor, and in rec
ommending its general use, pronounce it a
complete success in all that is claimed for
it. Not only is the boiler rendered entirely
tree from incrustation, but the water is
preserved altogether free from impurities
and flows from the guages as clear as
though 1t had passed through q
filter. The Legislative committee were
SO well convinced of the merits of
the apparatus, that they unanimously con-
Cured in recommending the adoption of a
resolution authorizing the Superintendent
of the various State Institutions to have the
Hays apparatus attached to each of the
steam boilers connected with the several
Institutions,

"RIDIN' ON THE RAILROAD KEERs."-We
had glorious ride on one of the finest
engines ever builtin the west, on Saturday,
That otthe c. d /. C. railway on whose foot
board engineer James Gormley stands
monarch Of all he surveys. We left here
Tor Piqua on the noon train on Saturday,
with the affable and pleasant conductor
! Wood, through whose good offices, on
reaching Urbana, we were placed astraddle
OF the iron horse and turned loose. Read
er, did you ever ride on locomotive
No? Then If ever you can get an
opportunity do it. 1t is glorious. One
feels as we imagine the birds must feel as
they cleave the air-a sense of freedom,
of joy and abandon that makes the lungs
crow like chanticleer. We wonder as we
sit here almost vainly cndeavoring to sup
press shout, what that engineer, with his
eye never turned from the road, his hand
never loosed from the throttle valve, is
thinking of? Ask him? We would not
do it for the world. On the correctness of
his judgment, on his care and skill, hang
the lives of all those on the train and
thousands of property. Does he feel the
responsibility of his position? we ask
ourself as we look at him in wonder till
our eyes are as bigs as saucers. Does he
realize the hopes, the joys, the loves that
are entrusted to his care? Aye, does he? !?
Look, down the road yonder, where the
converging rails seem to run into one, is
black spot. You or would wait until we
got closer so that we might see just what
it is. Not so our careful and trusty engi-
neer. He knows that it is an animal, from
its size, and his hand reaches to the lever
over his head, and you fairly jump us, as at
bis touch, the engine gives out squeal
like unto demon with his tail fastened in
the closed doors of pandemonium. Obedi-
ent to the information given by the eyes
and the brains of the train, the limbs exert
their power and the mass of matter that
was but now roaring and rattling and fly
ing through the air is almost quiet, and
barely creeps along. The danger passed a
short, sharp yell of triumph announces the
fact, and away we go again. Oh, it is glo-
riOus and we must thank conductor Wood
and engineer Gormley for the most de-
lightful ride we ever enjoyed.

CHRoMo-LITHoGRAPHY - Among the
most beautiful of Prang's chromolitho
graphs is the last one issued, entitled
"Easter Morning" The design is by Mrs.
Mary T. Hart, and consists of marble
cross hung about with festoon of fuchsias,
pansies, yellow roses and other exquisite
blooms. The flowers are arranged in a
novel combination of tints, but one that
asserts itself instantly to be surprisingly
chaste, expressive and lovely. "Easter
Morning" must take rank above any other
flower piece yet published in chrome. 1t
can be seen at Gleason's book store, Opera
Block.
