Walking Locomotive.

A locomotive iron horse has been ad-
ded to the catalogue of curious inven-
tions, by Auburn mechanics, by DR..
Patrick Breen. Mr.. Breen is a native
of Tralee. county Of Kerry, Ireland.
He was brought up in the apothecary
shop of the celebrated DR.. John O'Con-
nell, uncle to the late Daniel O'Con-
nell. He came to this country in 1850
and to Auburn in 1S51.-Though gem
orally employed upon the New York
Central railroad and in our local ma
chine shops, he has perhaps been bet
ter known, as a curer Of blindness.
He has the credit of several inven-
tions Of merit. For nerly a year past
he has employed his leisure hours in
study out some plan to make a self
supplying chemical power, to take the
place Of steam, and to make it move Il
piece of machinery having the motion
Of a horse, He claims TO have brought
this also to Il degree Of perfection
which indicates success. That he has
discovered motive power in certain
alkalies and acids, which has never
been brought into practical use, there
is no doubt. Whether he can make it
work his 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
so. Upon that express no opinion now.
We give his description of the machine
as he has furnished it to US for public
informantion-not TO advertise is, but
as a matter of news.
The machine does not go on wheels,
like an engine, but walks like a horse,
on four legs, which rise eight enches
and make a forward move Of Is ut eve
ry revolution of a centre shaft which
works them. The shaft is 10 feet long,
the length Of the machine. The legs
are five feet apart, which enables the
machine to preserve its balance on UNI
even ground. 1t is so constructed that
it will 90 up and down a heavy grade
with the greatest ease, and is calculat-
ed to walk and draw on soft and titled
land with more ease than Il team OF
horses. 1t turns round in its own
length to any point needed. As to
speed, it will go at any rate from three

Earnest Words.

This communication appears in the
Nonpareil, of Council Bluffs, Iowa
The religious press throughout the
country is pleading with renewed vigor
and persistence against the evils of in
temperance. Many of the secular pa
pers are doing the same thing. The
evils attendant upon drinking have be-
come so universal, and withal so enor-
nous, that all thoughtful men are
alarmed. The curse reaches so high,
depcends so low, and cluches its victims
so indiscriminately on every hand, that
for very self-defence it stands every
man in hand to oppose it with all his
might.
An official of the General Govern
ment two or three years ago showed
by the strong logic Of actual statistics
that the people of the United State,
expended in "the uselss luxury of
strong drink nearly fifteen hundred
millions of dollars year." This would
be about S43 to every man, women and
child of the population at that time.
Chicago is wasting in this way s54 a
year for each individual. Other cities,
including Council Bluffs, are following
ing the downward road as fast as pos
sible.
Shall we do it longer. Has not the
time come for every good citizen as
we'll as christian, loudly to protest
against this useless, this universal and
this most remorseless, sin of the time;
in which we live? At the beginning
of this new year, shall not a change
be inaugurated? With malice towarC
none, and with charity for all, | finn
plore the good people of this city t.
oppose further ravages Of this foe Il
God and man. Who will?

Marriage, or Murder.

A terrible and fatal shooting affair
occurred yesterday afternoon in Wheat
land, resulting in the death Of most
lady of that town, known as
the Widow Dennison. Full particu
lars of the affair we we're unable to
learn, but give such as GOULD be gath
cred up to a late hour last evening.
1t appears that young man named
Wilbur f. Dougherty has for nearly
two years past been paying his atten-
tions to Mrs. Dennison, and it is re-
ported that not only were they greatly
attached to each other, but were also
engaged to be married. Some little
time ago, for some cause unknown, they
quarrelled and parted. Afterward the
matter was amicably settled, but, at
the instance of Mrs. Dennison, the
marriage was postponed from time to
time. Yesterday afternoon Dougher-
ty called on her and demanded that
she should marry him on the coming
Saturday. This was heard by parties
in an adjoining room; the next thing
heard was the report of pistol follow
ed by an agunizing scream from the
woman. They rushed to the room and
found Dougherty standing over the
body, having a single barrel in his
hand. Mrs. Dennison was lying upon
the floor, and already dead. Upon ex-
animation it was found that the ball
had passed entirely through her heart,
and death must have been almost in
Simultaneous. Dougherty was soon after
arrested by Justice Jennings, OF
Wheatland, and placed on board the
up train, which had just arrived, and
brought to this city. He was safely
lodged in the county Jail, where a
charge of murder was preferred against
him. The utmost excitement prevail
ed in Wheatland at the time the train
left, it being regarded as most delib.
crate and brutal murder by the resi-.
dents. They believe that he went tc
the house with the intention Of com
mitting murder. 1t was proposed tC
lynch him, but he was brought away
before any opportunity to do so was
offered
Dougherty say the shooting was en-
tirely accidental; that she having re
fused to marry him as he proposed, hi
drew tho pistol with the intention o
intimidating her, and was about to re
turn it to his pocket, when it was acci
IDENTIFY discharged, with the above re
suit.
An inquest was held on the bod,
last evening, but owing to the late hou
at which he rturncd to the city, we ar
unable to publish the evidence takel
before it. The verdict Of the jury wa
in accordance with facts already given
that "the deceased came to her deatl
from a wound received from a pisto
in the hands of Wilbur f. Dougherty.
Mr.. Hamilton informs us that h
visited Dougherty at the county jai
before leaving for Wheatland, ant
that the latter then told him the shoot
ing was accidental. He admitted tha
the whole trouble between them aros
from jealousy on his part that he hac
seen to rings on her engagement finger
and he believed that some one had sup
planted him in her aflections.-MdvJ

Pluck and Cold Water.

On Thursday night a party Of four
jolly fellows congregated in a saloon
not far from the American Hotel, and
one of them, whom we will call "Joe,"
drew ring on the table with a piece
of chalk, marked four numbers inside
the ring, and putting a finger on one
of them told the other three to each
cover number with finger, remark
ing that it was for the treat, to be paid
by the first who lifted his finger off the
mark. That was satisfactory, and,
there they sat each with a finger i'm
movably planted. Twenty minutes
passed and the proprietor fdgeted-
tnree-quarters of an hour-and he was
desperate, for still the fingers were i'm
movable. He was bound to break up
that kind of sport, and, asa last resort,
brought in his street sprinkling hose
and threatened the crowd. Nobody
stirred. Proprietor than put the nozzle
down the the back of one mans neck,
and gently turned on the icy stream.
He squirmed but the finger didn't
bulge the next trial was up the trow-
ser leg of No. 2; he kicked but held
Il steady hand on the table. Number
3 received a charge of cold water full
in the breast but breasted it like a
warrior. Proprietor taxed his wits and
sent a charge into Joe's ear, but that
worth was too plucky to bo beat at a
game he had introduced, and swore he
would drown first. Itwas evident that
uncomfortable sensations would not
effect the desired object. but Science
did, the proprietor steadily playing on
the wrist of No. 2 until the icy stream
had so benumbed his hand that he let
fall. He treated. This "little game
can hardly be classeG in the list of
amusements for the winter season.

As to Low Dresses.

Most fashions owe their origin to an
attempt to give prominence to the
strong point or hide the weak point Of
a king or queen. Thus powder came in
vogue to conceal queens gray, and
large perukes because king was bad.
We learn, however, from a Belgian
paper. that the custom ofladies exhibit
ING their busts in all the beauty nf ma
ture has far more romantic origin. In
A battle in which the French were
engaged Gall dates we may mention,
are reserved) their ranks we're broken,
and they were routed. When they re-
treated their women barred their
breasts and entreated them to
pierce them rather than permit them to
fall into the hands Of the enemy. This
was too much for the gallant Gauls.
Nerved with fresh courage they turned,
renewed the combat, and we're victo-
rious. From that hour French women
have on festal occasions always been
accustomed to wear their dresses low.
In fact, when you see one who appears
to have forgotten the upper part OF her
dress, it is no proof Of indelicacy, but
simply an indication of national senti-
ment. This satisfactorily explains what
many ignorant people have taken for
impropriety. We live and learn.
