The kickin9 Rlanale.

From the Peoria Review, December Il.
Lisa Weber has come and gone, and
whether she has shaken the dust of her fee.
against Peoria does not appear, and, in fact,
it does not matter much.
Miss Weber belongs to the "blonde art
lists. That is to say, her peculiar abilities
consist in wearing few clothes. in singing a
vast variety OF songs in a half ineligible
manner, and in winking, grimacing and
gesticulating. As far as the immortality OF
the leg business is concerned, it is pretty
generally conceded that flesh -coiOred tights
give no more idea of the wearer's form than
the Hottest and humpiest Of panniers. 1t is
all stuffing and padding. Only the blonde
artists profess to do a nude business, when
all of the while they deal in the dreariest of
shams. Everything about them is sham,
from the rouge on their cheeks and their
blonde wings down to the tips of their No.
gaiters. How is it possible for person to
act, dressed in a pair Of fesh-cOlOred tights,
padded to represent a human form divine,
with cheap cotton velvet jacket on, and
over this any amount Of tinkling bronze and
glittering tin! 1t can not be done.
The fair Lisa hel self saw in a box a
couple of respectable ladies'. Some gyra-
ti9ps on the stage didn't suit them, and
they retired to the back of the box with
out making any disturbance, as they
had perfect right to do. Whereupon, in
the nursery rhyme. she perpetrated the fol-
lowing:
If ever cease to love
II ever cease to love,
wouldn't go to place

plainly in favor Of Congress leaving those
interests to take care of themselves, with

An Iron Horse.

An ingenious mechanic in Auburn, n. Y,
says the Nescs Of that city, for nearly ayear
past has been employing his leisure hours
in studying out some plan to make = self

machinery having the motion of horse
He claims to have brought that also to .
degree of perfection which indicates sue.

power in certain alkalies and acids, which
has never been brought into practical use
for agricultural implements, there 10 no
doubt. Whether he can make it work Ills
machine.horse over soft and uneven ground
seems to be the only point to be tested. He
appears to be very confident himself that it
will do 80. We give his description of the
machine as he has furnished it to Us for
public information, net to advertise it, but
as matter of news:
The machine docs not 60 on wheels like
an engine, but walks like horse, on four
legs, which rise eight inches and make a
forward move Of eighteen, at every revolu.
ton of q centre shaft which works them.
The shaft is ten feet long, the length Of the
machine. Tho legs arc ten feet apart; fore
and aft, and sidewise five feet apart, which
enables the machine to preserve its balance
on uneven ground. 1t is 80 constructed
that it will 50 up and down . heavy grade
with the greatest ease, and is calculated to
walk and draw on soft and titled land with
more ease than any team of horses. It
turns round in its own length to any point
needed. As 10 speed it will 80 At any rate
from three to fifteen miles per hour. The
concern can be reversed. 1t can be cm-
ployed for all the purposes that a team of
horses are useful for, such as ploughing,
resping or drawing wagons, strcet-oars and
canal bOats.

LEATHER BIrs FOR HoRsEs.-The Rural

JESSIE FRENoxT.-A Washington cor.
respondent writes as follows concerning tho
wife of General Fremont, who keeps house
in that city during the winter: Mrs. Ere
mont has the temperament and intellect Of
her father, Colonel Benton. She is tho
powerful force in social life that he was in
the Senate. She is woman of the world.
who to her love of pomp and circumstances
has never sacrificed the domestic virtues.
and loves her husband with the absorbing
love which mado her brave her fathers ire
to marry him, and absolute devotion to his
interests has been the prevailing passion of
her life. Yet she loves power, as daugh.
ter of Benton must love it; and her fine pres.
ence, flashing wit, and comprehensive con.
vcrsational power, with her kindling mag.
nctism OF manner, makes her always mis-.
tress of it. In our later day she rcvives the
splendor of the old regime when the lines Of
social distinction were more keculy drawn
than now, and when women In official cir.
cles, with cleaning jewels and powdered
hair, renewcdin Young America the courtly
g7accs of the old aris!ocrats. Mrs. Fremont
will through tho winter be surrounded by
circle of young ladies, and the house in
which she rcigns cannot fail to be one Of
the chosen centers where wisdom, wit and
beauty. and perhaps folly, will delight to
congregate. 9ss' .
