PRUssIAN SPIES. "A corresponds nt of
the New York Tribune says: 'sI suppose
that, AL things considered, we ought not
to be 100 hard upon the French for their
panic about Prussian Spies Charles
Harth, who was shot the other day in the
courtyard of the military school, confess
ed himself a spy when taken, and never
really denied it afterwards; and there
are facts enough to prove that King Viii.
liam has studied we'll in old Fredel ick's
book, who said that the French had one
spy and twenty cooks, while he had one
cook and twenty spies For it is plain
that the Prusssian system Of espionage
has been long reduced to great perfection
For several years Prussians have been re-
siding, under one pretext or another, in
all the border towns and villages, max.
ing themselves thoroughly acquainted
with the Typography, studying military
positions, filling their maps and memo
with the roads, lanes, and footpaths, and
also making themselves familiar with the
means and resources of the inhabitants.
1t is said, and | see no reason to doubt it,
that one Prnssian General has visited,
during the last year, all the towns and
villages likely to be attacked in case of
war, in the disguise of an old sbeggar

A singular instance of presence of

Prussia. At the arsenal at that place q.
workman had to give a COATING II,
grenades by dipping them rapidly Z into
kettle OF boiling pitch Suddenly one
of them slips from his hands into the
kettle. Quick as lightning the foreman
plunges his bare arms into the kettle
and succeeds in saving the grenade

consciousness, but he has saved his life

SUDDEN DEATH OF A BRIDE. I'VE
haye.the particulars Of sad death which
took place in this city on Friday of last
week. A gentleman by the name of Per-
kins, was, ON tie 4th inst, married to a
young lady in Waupaea and the cere-
monies being over, the husband started
with his bride to visit brother Irving in
Sparta. 1t appears that the young lady
had been ailing for year past, and at
Oshkosh she was taken somewhat worse ;
but the journey was continued and on
nearing this city she was considered
alarmingly sick. On their. arrival here,
she was conveyed to the City Hotel,
where medical aid was summoned, but it
proved unavailing, as she was az once
pronounced beyond recovery. She Ing
cred through the night and the following
forenoon, when death ensued She was
about 90 years of age, very beautiful
lady, and an only heir. The husband,
overwhelmed with grief, the following
morning returned with her remains to
the home Of her parents, in Waupaca.-

An AsToNIsHED MINIsTER.-In a small
city, not far distant from the Hub
resided a. dentist named Brown He
received an order from his beloved pastor
for a set of false teeth. The work was
executed nromptly, and the pet shepherd
of his pet flock called in at the appointed
time to receive them Brown fixed them
in his reverend customers mouth, when
the latter, stepping to the glass to see the
effect, said slowly and distinctly:
q Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ . Il
N Now Brown is more noted for his
quickness of temper and profanity than
for his piety; and hearing his customer
speak ia such a manner, his ire was
quickly aroused. ~ ,.s+a;lt.

Brown was satisfied with the explana-
ton, the minister with his new stock of

BORING INTO THE SUBTERRANEAN SEA-.
On Thursday last the labors Of the
parties who had been boring for the last
elgnreen months in Lincoln, the capital
OF Nebraska, for salt water, were crowned
with success. At the depth of six hun
dred feet below the surface, in a stream
OF sandstone, a lead of the great subter
raneon sea of salt water was struck, and
the oriny torrent came struggling up
around the auger and shot into the, air
some eight or ten feet It has since
howed strongly and steadily, and with
great force and increasing strength, form
ing briny rivulet It il believed bv the
experts who have seen the flow that when
the auger is withdrawn and tubing in
serted, stream of water will be pro
lected from the well to the height of
nifty feet, making it the most magnificent
artesian well of salt water in the world.

ror several years experiments invOlv-
ing immense cost have been carried on
in England, having ia view q tractivs
engine that should do heavy work on
common roads cheaper than it was being
done BY horses. The difficulty has been,
not the lack of power, but that in run
nlng over harl roads, the continuous
joiting involved constant breaksQes in
the machinery, the tread Of the wheel
was So narrow that it would slip, and
last, when armed with claws, they
broke when most needed, besides being
a damage 10 the roads and an impede
ment to the movement Of the engine.
At length, Mr. Il. W. Thompson, Of
Edinburgh, conceived the idea OF using
india-rubber tires Of great thickness and
width, and since that time the engine
has been complete success. 1t has
been used IN the main on the continent
OF Europe Tor drawing heavy loads, al
though ploughing and the other needs
OF u farn have found in it . most pow
eriul agent. The first public trial of
this engine in America was held on the
Patterson background, in New Jersey,
October 18th, before committee Of the
American Institute. Arriving at the
ground, we found the engine, with
steam up, hitched to u gang of seven
p!oushs. AT signal from the exhibit
tor, the engineer mounted the machine.
and with one hand on the steering ap-
paratus, ANA the other Oh the throttle
bur, he started, and moving steadily on
at ABOUT double the rate of an ordinary
ox-teain, and little faster than quick
horses walk, turned seven burrows.
twelve inches wide and eight deep, with
the greatest ease, and in q workman
like manner. The land was a strongly
rooted green sward, with a surface at
least OF average unevenness. Ii did the
work OF at least fourteen horses and
seven men, using ut the rate OF half a
ton oi coal a day, and requiring in its
management fireman and engineer.
Iho exhibition with loaded wagons
was equally successful. The engine
was attached to three heavy four-wheel-
ed trucks on Two OF which there were
at least three cords of heavy four-foot
wood; the last was loaded with pig.
IRON, the estimated weight of all being
lroin twelve 10 fifteen tons. Without
the !eist difficulty, il moved this truin OF
wagons up and down the track with
coh-iderabie speed, turning in small
space, anu showing that il had perlsct
control ot It's mammoth load. Ii after
"afu showed It's speed, running at
from SIX To eight miles an hour, and
hnaily was dcxterously turned about in
u circle OF u radius OF u few feet, and in
zlszags, backed, and otherwise shown
to be capable, in the hands OF a comps-
tent lnan, OF running in the same space
turning much quicker, and, in short,
doing all thai could be done with a spry
team OF horses, if they were each EN-
dowed with ten times their ordinary
power. The plough used was made for
mellow ground, without cutters. which
will give some idea of the power re-
qulrcd to tear firm sod.
