Common Road Locomotives.

( The British War Department has inves-
tigated g. recent invention of a locomotive
without rails, and it is pronounced in Off
cial reports far moro useful than any horse.
The Superintendent of machinery says he
has ''come to the conclusion that the ques-
ton OF steam traction on common roads is
now completely lived" that the appliea-
ton of the India-rubber tire is perfect
success; that it opens up an entirely new
field, and that he looks upon this applica-
ton as a discovery, rather than an inven-
ton. In the course of experiments wit
messed by Mr.. Anderson, the engine went
up q zigzag labrynth Of courts, and it can
describe any figure almost in space OF
twice it's length. The boiler employed is
an independent invention adapted to the
carriage. Its chief peculiarity is the cop
per pot used for holding water within the
furnace, and it is so contrived that if the
boiler contains any water the pot will
keeps the centre of gravity low, and al
lows the engine to run up hills of 1 in 10,
or go along an angle Of 35 degrees. The
wheel and its tire may be described as con-
sisting of q broad iron tire with narrow
fanges, upon which is placed ring of
soft vulcanized India rubber; this ring is
about twelve inches in width, and five
inches in thickness, which thus surrounds
the iron tire, and is kept in it's place by
| the hangs; then over the India rubber
there is placed an endless chain of steel
plates, which is the portion of the wheel
that comes in actual contact with the
rough road, the reticulating chain being
connected by a sort of vertebra at each
side of the wheel. The India rubber tire
and this ring OF steel plates have no rigid
connection, but are at perfect liberty to
move around as they please without con-
sulting each other, or even without the
concurrence of the inner ring of the wheel
which they both enclose.

An Exciting SKirmiSh.

A correspondent describes in the follow
ing terms skirmish of Uhlans and Chas
seurs d Antique, near Jazky: Suddenly, ,"
he says, ave heard strange sound behind
us. Two regiments of Chasseurs d At
rlque were advancing in pursuit of the
Uhlans. They soon passed by Us raising
clouds of dust The ground trembled un
der their resounding gallop. We were
then witnesses Of a thrilling spectacle, an
Uhlan hunt. The Chasseurs d. Antique,
with their splendid Arab horses, divided
| themselves into several detachments to
surround the enemy. Their horses, neigh
ing turiously. galloped IN pursuit of the
| Uhians, who had just crossed plain, and
disappeared in the copse-wood. After s.
few minutes we saw them reappear on its
crest, followed very closely by the Chas-
seurs d Afrique IN the midst of whirl-
wind of dust furrowed By the lightning's
cleaning from their weapons While this
desperate race was being run a few metres
| from the spot where we were, three Uhlans
appeared as if by magic, on the plain be-
fore us. A Chasseure d. Aftique posted
near there to reeonnoitre hastened to meet
| them. When they we're within range he
lay in the Arab fashion, along Lis horses
neck, and discharged his piece. He miss
ed his aim, but did not hesitate to engage
these three men hand to hand. The strug-
glo had lasted for two or three minutes
when a detachment OF Chasseurs d Af
rique appeared. Two of the Uhlans fled
leaving their comrade graphing with tht
Cnasseur. He had just fallen into ditcl

War i'm Es1Yne0.
From the Sarawak Gazette, June 27.

From the Sar2WaG Gazette, June u,
An inland eXpe dition, composed of
IL, 600 Malays and Dyaks, commanded by
his Highness the Rajah OF Sarawak, started
in the beginning OF June to attack large
body of Dyaks who were living up a small
and dangerous stream named Katibas, q
tributary OF the Rejang, and under Sara,
stream, which is only accessible for small
boats, have for the last year defed the au-
thority of the Sarawak government and
persisted in continuing their pernicious
custom of taking the heads of
Maylays and Chinese, and, in fact
of any one not belonging to their own cir
Gle. They are nearly related to the
| tribe inhabiting the head of tho Kapuas or
Pontianak river under the rule of the
Netherlands government, and, as the force
approached, were largely reinforced from
that direction. After several days Of ex-
cesslvely hard labor in pulling and policing
! the 300 boats over rapids and shoals, and
having been four days in the heart OF an
enemg's country, the force returned, hay
| ing completely accomplished their object
in burning and destroying all the houses
and property belonging to the enemy. The
| loss on the Sarawak side was forty killed
aud many wounded; the casualties on the
| part OF the enemy are not exactly known,
but they must have suffered heavily, as in
all hand to hand encounters between the
Dyaks the enemy gave way. It is expected
that this expedition will be the means oi
bringing these decapitating Dyaks tc
their senses, and enabling traders
to develop the resources of these prim.
tive / nds, abounding as they are in eutta
percha, camphor, beeswax, rattahs, hard.
wood, &c. The Reiang district contains =
population of from 70, 600 to $4,000 souls
the principal part ofwhom are friendly ant
well-disposed. Trade for some years has
rapidly been increasing, and once clear o.
head-hunters there will be line of traffi,

above which rapids have to be passed b,

ferent tongues, and make trading voyages

A visitor at Saratoga writes that ct ono
Of the recent and very brilliant masque-
rades given at Congress Hall, lady, mys-
terious, graceful, witty, and tantalizing,
appeared IN The character of "The Girl of
the Period" The dress was an exaggera-
tion, but splendidly carried out, of the
Grecian bond, panier, and walk of mod
ern belle. She WAS masked beyond al
detection, and was tho life of the ball,
knowing everybody aud quizzing them TO
her hearts content. Her escort was black
domino, equally impenetrable. Fifty or
sixty gentlemen crowded the entrances
after the ball to follow and identify her,
but she baffled them all and made her
escape with her mask through some street
entranG to the ball room. One gentleman
from New York has offered 50, 600 reward
for her Identification. She was so witty,
and approached so nearly the traditional
brillianca Of an adroit masker, that she il
hunted with an ayidity, and is tho 6ensa
ton of the season, Her chignon was made
Of yellow tissue paper, and was q marvel
lOus burlesque of the style. She is sup
posed to be Southern lady, but this Is {
mere conjecture. She is looked for AT thu
approaching masquerade with intense in
terest. l saw her talking to the Hon
Augustus Schell and Senator Creamer, @
New York, and they were laughing inerdi
nately at her rich remarks. Who IS the
''Girl of the Period?' We have consulted

The Losses Of Gravel0tte-M Moral Effect
of Dead Frencimen.

| Murat Halstead in his last letter saws
''Halt century after the battle OF Water
loo there is a sharp controversy as to man,
of the incidents of the combat, and yictoi
| Hugo raised storm of discussion by the
introduction OF his Waterloo chapter in
Les Miserables. 1t is not to be thouph,
amazing, therefore, if there are disputed
| points about the battle OF Gravelotte. One
the things talked about is q cavalry
charge ordered by Steinmetz. He is said
| 10 have directed regiment or regiments
OF lancers TO charge up the Paris road
where it passes the head of the dismal
hollow Or abrupt ravine behind Gravelotte
| that l have been trying to tell'about. The
story goes that there wera three thousand
OF them put in, and that but eleven hun
dred came out. This sounds like large
proportion of Il charging party to be des-
troyed, but there would be no occasion for
surprise if it should turn out that the facts
were as represented.
The Prussians have been smart-as in
nearly all things in this war (the especial
exception Is In railroad management lin
the matter of removing their dead. AS
a rule, they clear the ground of their own
dead and wounded with surprising celerity
and are Ilai - enagetie Ill the disposition
OF the French who are slaughtered and
thrown upon their hands. 1t would not
have an eXhilarGting effect upon Prussian
troops TO march in the thoughtful mood
that comes after the excitement of bat
tie among. their mutiated comrades and
1t lrparts to them lofty ideas of their SAN
culinary power to have strewn along
their path immense numbers of dead
trenchmen. The fact that the day after
the battle was for some time on the spot
where the bloody cavalry charge is said to
have been made, and that there were no
dead or wounded Prussians there, does
not prove that the statement of the destruc-
tive charge is inaccurate. What I saw
would rather corroborate the story. The
road was in that place bloody, though
there had been rain that would have re-
mos ed light stain The beautiful road
side trees were skinned and splintered and
battered in an extraordinary way. That the
lead and iron hail of the battle Storm
had been poured there with the utmost
fury was plain. Then there were a num-
Der OF broken lances, some of them
snapped by shot, and IN the gutter were
pennons ard helmets. 1t is related that
the cavalry, terribly cut up in this charge, |
had to retreat, and it is question whether
they did anything for the country other
than get killed in her name, and pursuant |
to the exacting orders Of the veteran Stein
metz, OF whom General Sherman will have |
a higher opinion when he learns that he |
hercely refuses TO have correspondents or |
other civilians Or visitors of anv descrip- |
ton, about his headquarters. lie says
Bismarck can do as he pIeases around the |
Kings headquarters, but he will have no |
historians in his camp"

SUMMING UP THE CAsE.-A Georgia
friend, who has laughed over some of the
we're extra judicial decisions Of learned
iudges that have found their way into the
Drawer, sends the following as having ac-
tualIy occurred in one of the cities OF that
State:
Our friend is fill of the dignity of his
office, and entirely convinced that the at
fairs of the country would come to full
stop but for his efforts. Not long since a
man was brought before him on a warrant
| for yagrancy A palmer case could not be
presented, and as the evidence was given
IN, the young lawyer who was defending
| him thought it hopeless. On arising to
sum up, while badgering his head what to
say, he happened to notice that his
client was tolerably well dressed,
and called the attention of the
Court to that fact, claiming that no man
who wore ''good clothes" could properly be
considered yagrant, q vagrant being q
ragged. dirty vagabond. Observing that
the Court made memorandum of ''good
clothes" be had the good sense to sit down.
After the prosecution had concluded, the
Judge with his rich brogue, said: ''The
Cart having ittintively haard the ividence
and the remarks av COUNSEL, is of the opin-
ion that, inasmuch as the prisoner wears
good Clothes he can not properly be con-
sidered a vagrant; bsa, as he has not shown
to the satisfaction of the Cart how he ob-
tanned thin clothes, | shall bind him over

To PURIFY CIsTERN WATER.-Let the
spout run to the bottom of the cistern.
You will then have new water every time
it rains, the old water will be buoyed or
borne up, and throw off all old water and
give entirely new. II you have any doubt
of this, fill pail with water, run tube to
the bottom of it and by means of a tunnel
turn more water into it by way of the tube,
and you will see that the water you turn
into the tube VIII go to the bottom OF the
