MECHANICAL PROBLEM SOLVED.
How To Lii Oneself.

clever little patented device has been in
vented by Mr.. 9. IL. Mann, of Orange, N. j.
1t consists of platform, system of combined
levers and two upright handles the whole being
in very compact shape and handsomely finished
so that the machine would not make a bad
article of furniture in any room, though as
heavy lifting can be done as DR.. Winsbip him
self would care to undertake. In this machine
no weights are employed to strain the muscles of
the operator. But his own weight, when stand
ing on q platform, is lifted by an ingenious
arrangement of levers, so combined with move
able fulcrum that, while the weight of the
operator is constant the resistance thereon
upon the hands of the person lifting can be
raised to any amount This result is secured by
the arrangement of the levers, the one to which
the weight is applied being thirty inches long
and the one to which the power is applied being
25 inches long, but the end fulcrum of the one
being inches nearer to the operator than the
other. When the two levers az connected
together at any points equi-dstant from the
operator, the motive force applied to the lift
ing lever produces greater force and a smaller
movement in the weight of lever.
Thus, to lift weight or strain of 400 pounds
with this machine, the operator actually pulls
the handles upward five inches while his body
(the weight lifted) only is elevated by the
weight lever about two inches. In lifting other
weights, or rather strains, the movement of the
hands bears corresponding proportion to the
resistance, the movable fulcrum being placed
at proportionate distance from the operators
all of which illustrates the mechanical maxim
that what is gained in power is lost in move
ment.

SUNK AT SEA.

Particulars of the Collision Between the
Steamship AIbemarle and the Ship MOutrOse.
The steamship Albemarle, o. d. Line, on her
passage to Norfolk on Thursday night last,
struck the brig Montrose, of New York, from
Ponce, Porto Rico, bound for New York, amid
ships, and sunk her. The brig went to the bot
tom in about fifteen minutes.
We append the statement of George H. Pres.
colt, the mate of the Albemarle:-
The first saw OF the brig she was about two points
OFF our starboard bow, and could not have been
more than three-quarters of mile distant as it was
DARK and cloudy to the southwark and westward,
and vessel could not be seen far. / could not
make out any lights, therefore was unable to tell
positively which way the vessel was steering, but
judged her to be northward that is in the opposite
direction from what we were steering, aud being
about two points on our starboard bow, aud light
pass clear Of each other, and did not alter the
course.
For fear that might be mistaken in regard to the
direction the brig was steering, / finally decided
to order the helm sarboard, and just at the moment
said starboard the brig lufled up with bort helm,
right across our bow showing his port light red.) |
Immediately changed the order to port hard port.
The orders were given so near together that the
quartermaster had no time to put his wheel a star.
board, but put it hard port and at the same time
rang the bell to stop the engine and back her, but
we were so near together that the ship struck the
brig at about the same time the engine stopped.
If the brig had her side lights set they not in
position 10 be seen, or ought to have seen her
starboaTd light, when first saw the vessel; unless
it was not burning whereas the only and first light
seen by the ship was the port or red light and that
not until she had luid her bow, and then 1t
was too late to avoid a collision,-NorfoM Day

Michael Kerns and Catharine Frantz had q
hearing on Saturday before United States Com

to prison in default of $4,000 bail each to answer
at the next session of the United States District
Court in Philadelphia The Flying Dutchmau

man will have hearing tomorrow. He has,
however, made free and full confession in re-
gard to his connection with the business. The
evidence, we learn, shows that these parties
belong to an organized gang of dealers in coun-
terfeit notes, having purchased them in large
quantities from manufacturers and dealers in
New York and other places and then sold them
in smaller quantities to showers of the queer"
or parties who put them in circulation.
The whole party will be taken to Philadelphia
at the next session of the United States District
Court for trial.
No more arrests have been made since, but it
is thought that others implicated ia the transac-
tion will be captured ere long.

ga Lively Time AhcRd,'
The signs Of the times indicate lively poll
tical campaign in the coming fall If all ac-
counts be true, it is the intention of the friends
of General Butler to place his name before the
Republican Convention for Governor. 1t is said
General Butler is not committed to this PROPOSE
ton, though he does pot treat the suggestion
with Indifference, as it leaves him in good
position to accept Senatorial honors in
the future, or even higher position, should the
country demand his services. 1t has been urged
that Butler was strong only in a small district,
and he is not opposed to a movement which his
friends think will refute this charge If neces-
sary he would no doubt take the stump. DR..
George B. Loring in case this programme is
carried out, will run in the Fifth Congressional
district to I'LL the vacancy caused by the retire.
ment of Butler, or he may prefer foreign
appointment. Butler it is whispered will have
the support of the Labor party and the influence
of Wendell Phillips, while it is anticipated the
soldier element will sustain him by their votes.
The opponents of this plan propose to rally
under Jewell and Rice, though some of the
bitterest anti-Butler men suggest that the re-
nomination of Governor Clafln would settle the
question at least for this year, as his chances Of
carrying the Republican Convention are thought
to be more certain than those of any other cam

A resolution has been introduced in the House

FORTRESS MONROE, March 13--It is under
stood that party of prominent gentlemen are
negotiating for the purchase of the Hygeia
Hotel at this place, for the purpose Of enlargng
it, and making a frst-class watering place of
Old Point. Before the war there was a fine
hotel here which could accommodate six or
seven hundred guests. This was always crowded
with summer visitors both from the North and
South. The advantages of the Point, and the
facilities for making il an attractive watering
place, are better than they were before the war,
and now all that is wanted is the establishing of
a large first-class hotel. There are many things
about the fort which makes it attractive to per-
sons from both North and South.
The third year of the Artillery School at this
post, under the command of that accomplished
officer, General William F. Barry, is drawing to
q close, and the annual examination will COM
mence on the first of April. A board of officers,
graduates of West Point, are appointed for this
purpose, who examine the officers under instruc-
ton in the different studies they have been pur-
suing the preceding year. The examination will
last about two weeks, when those who graduate
will prepare to leave for their stations. The new
class will arrive about the first of May, and the
school resume its course for the next academic

The Richmond Dispatch Of the l4th instant
says
The Court of Appeals on yesterday rendered
opinion affirming the decision in the case of
Miller IL Franklin vs.. the city of Lynchburg, on
an appeal. This is the case Ia which the city of
Lynehburg was sued for small notes issued dur
ing The war. About $100,0 600 were involved in
this controversy. The Court held that these
small notes were Issued in pursuance of the act
of the Legislature and the ordinance of the
city, but that both the act and the ordinance, as
well as the notes themselves, show that the
notes were redeemable in Confederate money;
that the small notes were issued simply for the
accommodation of the citizens, with no view to
profit and were intended to have the same
value as the large Confederate States notes
They were TO have no greater, or less value, and
were to be redeemed by the ike amount of Con-
fedeTate notes. The city was at all times during
the war ready to redeem them, and as Confede-
rate notes had ceased TO have value at the time
this suit was Instituted, the plaintiff could re-
cover nothing and his bill was dismissed with
costs.

The money market so far has developed no
new feature. There is q good supply of funds
everywhere and only moderate demand owing
to the backwardness of the regular spring trade.
Rates, therefore, continue easy but steady at
former quotations. The brokers, as usual, re-
ceive the preference at the banks, aud obtain
all they require at 5GD6 per cent, according to
the collaterals pledged There is no pressure or
stringency observable in the market nor any
