The conduct Il N. Queen, prendeas or

Mr.. Ennis. Mr.. Il. is an efficient speaker.
A certain cAndor in his utterancss makes
you trust in what he says. and think it must
be about right.
Mr. Duncan, Of the painters union, large
man with . large heads excoTiated the Elm
beetle Boric," as he called the secretary Of
the navy, for his action in reducing the
wages Of the workiDgmen under the eight

MINERS UNIONS IN ANERIcA.--It would
appear that the Amer .esh miners begin again
to see the necessity Of union. They seem to
feel the gEasping nature of capital as well As
others. TO enable them IA the thick coal
regions Of Pennsyivania to gel due share
for their labor, delegate meeting was held
ut Pittssen, Pa, on The lst and "a Of Febru-
airy. 10 the list Of names given as dele gates
at the meeting, we think We discoyer some
familiar nswes. They nas~ed saudFy reso-
lutions in favor Of more united action, and
aiso considered the pFopriety Of having an

that the operative mining interest needs a

New WoNDER-A Revolution IN Steam Engines
The Jersey City Times has description of machine
now in operation in that city, which, it is claimed, is
destined to work revolution in one department o
mechanical industry, namely, steam engine, which
with one quarter of the weight, and occupying one
quarter of the space required for ordinary horse
engine, will give the power, with 20 per cent
less fuel This little machine sets at defiance all pre-
conceived notions the subject. Its motive power
is all contained within the circumference of broad
stout Wheel about three feeti diameter, revolving
upon hollow shaft, which receives the steam and de-
iVers it alternately into two opposite reciprocal cyn
ders, and fixed between the centre and periphery
The power, therefore, instead Of being at the centre
presents the singular anomaly Of being the circum
ference Or p other words the true centre of power
is at the periphery of the wheel. To use familiar
smle the wheel is like the band drum of squirrel
cage, in which two squirrels were consentaneousy,
one in the usual position, the Other in the opposite,
but with head down. and with motion similar to lv
walking the ceing-both, of course, in contnu.
ally reversing positions as the wheel turns. 1t is an
application of the simple principle, by which, as any
one can see, grindstone may easily be turned by
placing the hand upon its surface while only with
siderable muscular exertion mans hand grasping the
shaft can produce the same notion
