PATENTED AUGUST 8, 1866.

MANY thousand Of them have been tested

proved a perfect success, as thousands Of GER
~tificates could be produced; but deem il I'M
necessary, as the Pump will show for itself,
and prove all its qualities on examination.
1t Is n Pump which IL ultimately destined
to supercede all other Pumps now in use, for

solid fin glass, end it undoubtedly viii last

order. EOuTth, the Plunger workingi in glass,

Fifth, the valves are made Of glass, Qld are so
placed that 70 is impossible for them TO get
out of order. Sixth, the conducting pipe is
manufactured Of wrought iron, galvanized
inside and ont, making 1t perfectly free from
rust. Seventh, no water stands in the pipetO

It requires no printing to start 1t. Eighth, il
is the best hand FIRE engine ever invented. It
will force the water from any common vel
or cistern TO the top of the highest dwelling,
at the rate Of twenty gallons per minute.
and complete that renders it less liable to get
out of order than any pump yet invented,
and makes it the cheapest on the continent.
When all its qualities are fully understood no
one viii be without IL. 1t will save its cost in
insurance and many times save valuable
property.
Having established a factory In the city of
Memphis, Tenn, for the mandatory ofthese
Pumps, we are now prepared to FURNISH at
wholesale and retail. to all parties engaged, or
wishing to engage in the business.

THE KANSAH CITY BRIDGE,

The kalsas City bridge is located at
go Important point, and Is required by
SO ltrgc country South aud West, that
TIE State Of Missouri has authorized It TO
nc lu,lt, by two special ac!s Of the Lsgts.
latulc-opc Of them expressly au.horiz-
irg ard giving iull power to the company
now building II. As that authority was
nnrlc, the bridge might hayo been con.
struc'ed without any act Of Concrcss, az
all the carly bridges were across .l,c Mis-.
sistIrpi, by authority uf State laws.
C2ne1css, however, by special act,
ulso authorized tho bridge, md hence
there Is double authority ior
It, cmanatipg from both State and Ma
t'onal Governments. The bridgais now
substantially completed, and In all MI
tcIial respects In strict conformity with
the act Of Congress. So far ns its eject
uEon nay'ga alton 10 concerned, + has been
tested during the whole Of the last scas.n
Of navigation. The piers by the side OF
the oraw have been up, and some of the
piers upon which the draw will rest have
been in since February last. All the
boa's engaged in the regular navigation
Of the Missouri River have passed it, up
and down, at all stages Of the water.
In addition to this, all the business
Of Transportation by the sseau-
boats owned by the Bridge
Company has passed through it, and all
the transportation by the ferries between
the Kansas roads and the roads Leading
east over the Hannibal g. St. 10, R,ad
hes passed through 1t, iuc'uding upward
Of $4,000 head cf cattle, 1000 tons Of rail-
road iron, and all the manifold mater,a.s
csrried into and out Of Western Missouri,
Kansas, ard the country west, ard all
without any material casualty OF inter-
ruption. Probably there has been more
passing and rcpasstpg Of steamboats,, of:en
towing bargcs both ways, than there will
Elm ten years from the regular naviea-
tion cf the river, and all with
ous difficulty. And yet we OBJ
strive that some Of the St. Louis
interests are making opposition to the
bridge on the ground of its interrupting
OF being an imoetiment to navigation,
and We understand they have succeeded
in getting sorc engineer to 50 represent
to Congress. This Is the old fight of St
Lcnis against every public or private
improvement which does not exclusively
centre IN that CITY. We do not believe
it Is possible for S. Louis to prevent sht
completion OF bridge now SO nearly
finished. sanctioned by both Safe ant
United s atcs authority, and upon whict
nearly million dollsrs has been ex'
pended, and which is 30 indispensable

By such sewers. Al present sidewalks

frcptirp upon or benefited by such i'm
provemcnt, and the only limit 10 that
kind ct work is the unwilliDgncss Of the
prope1ty-ownezs to have It done. The
difference, in a money point of view,
between this system and the present
one will be this Under tho present sys-
tenn the expenditure in 1860 for ten miles
observer will be 100000. Under the new
plan the cost Of the same amount will be
s1e0,000. Under the present system ten
miles is as much sewer as can be laid In
one year; under The new system there
may fc tW1oty, thlrty or 1orly miles laid,
just as these needing II viii pay Tor 1t.
/. The1e arc TWO d'fneultfes IN the way OF
the charge, but they may be e'slly and
equitably settled. For the $l,100,00o
which has been patd for interest and
sirklrg fund, the whole property Of the
city has bten taxed The property upon
Inc nFe huncred miles Of unseWcred

60, aru the owners OF this property on
these streets may claim equitably that
tEc'r sewers shall be constructed by
general tax, as well as those already
made. They may also object, and reason
ably, that II they pay directly the tax
ior constructing their OWL sewers, they
should be released from any further la.
b!lity for the interest or principal for
building the 10 miles Of sewers which
have alrtadY been constructed. The first
thjsclion is fortunately small ont. The
proper = on unsewered st1ecls has, until
within few ycase, been unimproyc1,

the tax-probably not or c.tweutleth part

We understand that the only lobby that
has been seen at Sprinetie1d this winter
is that Of the Chicago Bosrd Of Educa-
tter. This bcdy, which has spent more
money with less results during the past
two years than any institution, public or
private, in the State OF Illinois, is asking
tor the moderate sum Of sS50,000 TO build
additional school houses.
There ought never 10 be dollar bor-
1owed, or debt contracted, OF penny
expended, by any body Of men. in the
name OF the city, except by the Mayor
aud Common Council. To vest that
power in any other body is vicious in
principle, dishonest in purpose, and de-
s'1ucliye OF all responsible government.

other beard should have the discretionary
pewcr TO SO to Springfield and get laws
passed to borrow money. create debt,
