A Wonderful Steam Pump.

A steam pump is on exhibition at
Philadelphia, which, If correctly de-
scribed, is hydraulic novelty. It con-
sists of a cast iron pipe twelve feet long
and twenty inches inside diameter,
which stands upright in basin of wa
ter, the lower end resting in an iron
basket to prevent sticks or stones from
passing into the pipe. Through this
pipe is run steel shaft, upon which,
at intervals of about four feet, are cast
iron propeller wheels, each of two blades
with an angular pitch of sixty-iye de-
grees, This shaft is attached by belt
at the top to twenty-five horse power
engine, and makes four hundred revo-
lutions q minute Running at this rate,
there is discharged through the pipe
the incredible amount OF ten thousand
gallons of water minute, or nearly fif-
teen million gallons day. With such
a hydraulic elevator as this, the task of
pumping water into a reservoir to sup
ply the largest ciry would seem to be a
very easy matter. In fact, we need
hardly feel astonished if some real es
tate speculator should bring on few
Philadelphia pumps, and undertake to
empty one of the great lakes. A tube
like that described would be good
thing to reverse the current in Bonnet
Care crevasse, we're it not for reversing
the whole stream and leaving Louisiana
dry as desiccated snuff-box.

A New Kind nf Compass.

At late sitting OF the French Acad-
emy of Sciences (says GahgnanD Gu
rious communication was received from
M. Zaliwski, which, if it were borne
out, would be invaluable to navigation.
He states that if a hollow cylinder made
of thin materials, open at the top and
provided with sharp edged bottom,
be properly ballasted and then put in
to a tub or other vessel filed with wa
ter will soon move in never varying
direction from West to East! The
round tin boxes in which concentrated
milk IS preserved, will do perfectly for
the experiment, which will be-
come more and more perceptible
the oftener the same cylinder is made
to do duty in this way. If this be true
and practically applicable on board
ship, the advantage to be derived from
it will be immense, especially in the
case of iron-built vessels, which, it is
we'll known, occasion very considerable
deviations of the needle Indeed, ta-
bles of correction have to be made out
for each craft of the kind by expert
ment, and mistakes which may cause
shipwreck are often the cause of mis-
calculation in this respect. Now, if by
M. Zaliwski's discovery the direction
from west to east can always be ascer-
tanned, the bearings of the needle may
be corrected with greater certainty.

Deyoured by Sharks--Tragic Death of /
Murderer.

Recently man named Grant COM
mitted murder at Demarara, W. L.,
whence he escaped to Halifax, n. S.,
where he was arrested and put on
board vessel to be returned to DANA
rara for trial. On arriving in sight of
his destination the prisoner jumped
overheard, and was Immediately seized
and devoured by sharks. The Halifax
Citizen gives the following particulars
'On the passage, although closely
watched, he on one occasion obtained
DO session of a knife, with which he
attempted to open his cabin window in
the night; but the attempt was discov-
cred and frustrated. On the morning
of the arrival, when the vessel was
within four miles of the lightship, he
feigned an excuse to go on deck. Mr..
Joseph sent Christian with him, and
gave the officer strict injunctions to
keep firm hold of him. From the
testimony of the seamen, Christian
seems to have endeavored faithfully
to fulfill hisinstruction, but was thrown
off his guard by sudden request from
Grant that he would do him trifing
service, and relaxed his hold for a mo-
ment, when Grant, with a yell of exul-
tation, instantly leaped overheard.
The vessel was put about as quickly as
possible, but to no purpose, for the
lookout man soon cried, Shark got
him, and pointed to the spot where he
had seen Grant disappear, and where
the water was tinged with blood. The
vessel continued to sail around the
spot for an hour, without discovering
any other trace of the miserable man. y

Attempted Murder of ROthschild.

The following is from the London
Times of the %: Frankfort advices
state that great excitement has been oc-
casioned by an attempt on the life OF
Baron nj. Rothschild the day before
yesterday by French soldier, who en-
tered the Office and asked to see the
Baron. When asked his business he
demanded four millions of francs to be
paid down to him, and threatened that
in case of refusal he would blow up the
house by means of bag he held i'll his
hand. The clerks considered him a
maniac, and tried to turn him out
He then put a match to the bag, and
the explosion slightly wounded two
brokers, who were waiting for the
Baron. Further accounts on Change
about the attempt at Rothschild's Office
state that by the force of the explosion
the windows, framework, and staircase
are smashed. The perpetrator, a
French officer (Alaatian), stated that he
was one of gang who had coalecced
for plundering the bankers and that he
had been selected by lot to go to Roth
schild's, There are none of the clerks
wounded"

Singular Occurrence.

A young man by the name of Henry
Allen, in the employ of Wheaton Loom
is, OF East Greene, Chenango county,
was one day last week sent by LOOMS
for some lime q short distance from
where Mr.. Loomis is erecting barn
He had spirited pair of horses, and
while going through lot they became
Ummanageable and ran away. Young
Allen was seen with his head dragging
near the horses heels while they were
madly rushing through the lot. He
finally got disentangled from his peril
Gus position, and got up and staggered
and fell fell several times in his efforts
to get his hat. After somewhat recov-
ering his senses, he went up the road
In the direction where the horses had
gone, and was last seen, that day, on
the river bank, just below Robinson's
Mill Mr.. Loomis and number OF
nelghbors, made an immediate search
for him, but were unable to find him.
He was seen the next day in Oxford,
and appeared to be slightly deranged.
He sald he was on an Island in the
river all night, and was very cold and
suffered from the bruises he received
while the horses were running. He
started for Loomis house, and since
that time has not been heard from. II
is supposed that he is wandering about
IN an unconscious state. Mr.. LOOMS
represents him as a young man of ener-
gedc and industrious habits, and is
very anxious to discover his where
abCuts.

A Queer Gait---Tr0ttine before and Rum
ming Behind.
From the Spirit of the Times.

In another column will be found a
note from Mr.. Bonner to the New York
Times in regard to the reputed of a
horse belonging to ex-Gov. Stanford,
in California. We dare say this is a
fast horse. We have private letter
from San Francisco which says that
Gov. Stanford drove him last year him
self in 2:23, and that since then he has
been carefully handled. Therefore, it
is likely enough that he may have trot-
ted half mile in 1:07 The style of
the account in the Sacramento Report
er would, however, rather lead us to
doubt it than to put faith in it. When
a man, in writing about some green
horse starts, outwith the assertion that
he is going to make Dexer take back
seat, we put him down as an ignorant
person; for however great the promise
of the green horse may be, everybody
with a little horse-sense knows the pro-
liability to be that he will never attain
to the excellence that Dexter has dis
played in every way of going and at all
distances. So of the offer of the
+" well-known sporting man" to lay ST.
900 that he could take the horse for
week and drive him in 2:15. This offer
of the "well-known sporting man"
reminds us of we'll known adage con-
cerning fool and his money. And
is of the statement that Gov. Stanford
paid $3, 300 for the horse and can get
$99, ZOO for his bargain. We have
no doubt the horse is very fast, but
friend of ours who knows him we'll
tells us that he is no square trotter, but
runs behind. He also adds that he has
a horse not able to trot in better than
2:25, and that he should like to match
him against the horse at Sacramento.

The Peach CrOD.
From the Grand Rapids Eagle

Numerous are the inquiries made OF
us as to the probable effect the recent
frosts may have upon the forthcoming
peach crop. We are pleased to state
that, after dlligent inquiry, we learn
that the trees remain llnharmed, except
in few localities, where very slight
injury has ensued. From every quar-
ter the reports are most encouraging,
and the indications are that the crop
will be universally abundant. The
Grand Haven Herald thus speaks OF
the prospect in that peach-growing To-
cality: "The Late frosts have not in
iured the peach blossoms in this vicin
ity, and fruit men predict heavy
crop" In the st. Joseph country, as
well as all along the southern shore OF
Lake Michigan, the prospect was never
more fattering, and we think it safe
now MAY 10th) to assume that the or
deal of untimely frosts has been passed
through, and we may make calculations
with reasonable certainty on bounti-
full return.

OVER THE FALLS.

Boat Containing Three Mc1, swamp
ed ia the Rapids-The Bodies Swept
Over the Horseshoe Falls.
From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, Friday.
Three young men, quite respectfully
dressed, were noticed at Niagara Falls
yesterday, being strangers and keeping
in company with each other. About
noon they proceeded to Suspension
bridge, and returned to Niagara Falls
in the afternoon. near three o'clock.
The party went to the Union Hotel, a
small tavern in the village. About four
o'clock they proceeded up to the head
of Days canal, and stopped at Walkers
boat house. A lad, son of Mr. Walker,
was in attendance, and, as the men
wished to hire boat to go over to
Grass Island to take a swim, he let them
have fat-bottomed scow. The
men started off and reached the island
in due time, where they disembarked.
Soon after they got int the boat
again and headed for the Canada shore.
Their movements were watched from
the American side, and it was observed
that the current soon caught the scow
and Whirled it down stream. Several
spectators ran along the shore and
watched the party with intense interest,
as 1t was beyond doubt that nothing
could save them 1t is said that when
the boat first reached the rapids it
broke in two The man that was row
ing, being an expert swimmer, swan
within six feet of Streets islands, but
the rapids drove him past. He then
got discouraged, threw his hands in the
air and sank The two others were
seen to rise once, but were soon carried
away, and nothing of them was seen
afterwards.
The unfortunate men were swept
over the Horse Shoe Falls, and up to
eleven o'clock this morning their bodies
had not been seen. A part of the
scow was found floating in the river be-
low the ferry. The men were aged be-
tween twenty-five and twenty-three
years. One was dressed in a brown
suit and brown cap; another in blue
suit and soft hat; and the third wore
an overcoat. 1t is thought possible
that the party were trying to evade the
law, from sundry remarks overheard,
but it seems strange that they should
have taken SO desperate means to put
space between them and their pursuers,
if there were any of the latter.
The men are thought to be pedlars
by profession, as they left several pack
ages ofprize candy, bogus gold watches
and chains, boxes of blacking, and so
forth, at the Union Hotel. They did
not register their names on the book at
the Office, as no rooms were engaged or
meals taken.
We endeavored to obtain full partic.
ulars this morning by telegraph, but
the only further news in addition to
that we have given above, was that it
is supposed that one of the drowned
men was Johnny Murphy, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, and the other, two Israel
ties, who have lately come from Flori-
da. Time will solve the mystery.

A Terrible Fourteen Head of
Cattle Poisoned.
From tne JOHet HepubHcan.

A few days since, Mr. H. Bolton, of
Plalnfield, in this county, noticed
strange appearance fsome of his cattle,
aud after examination came to the con-
clnslon that they had been poisoned,
OF which he soon became convinced by
finding places on the ground out in the
pasture where salt containing poison
had evidently been thrown by some
demon in human shape Fourteen
cattle were poisoned, and four have
died up to this time. One literally ex-
ploded as if blown up by a charge of
powderl This is the most dastardly
outrage OF the kind that has been com
mltted In this county in many year,
and the perpetrator should be dealt
with IN the severest form known to the
law. Mr.. B. is one of onr oldest and
most esteemed residents, and has given
no one any provocation for such an act
of cowardly violence. Mr.. Bolton Of
fers a reward of $50 for the apprehen-
sion of the perpetrators, or for such
evidence as will insure conviction.

How They Arrange Domestic Matters
. ont West

Domestic matters in some of the
Western States are managed in very
practical, off-hand way, which is likely
to lead to social complications very
difficult to straighten out properly.
For4instance, in Missouri, some years
ago, George Bruner went off to Idaho
to hunt for gold, leaving his wife to
wait till he got back. One Mr.. Rains
came along and asked Mrs. Bruner to
be his, which she promised on condi-
ton that he would give her up if atany
time George should come back. She
was accordingly married to Rains, and
since that time there has been nothing
but sunshine, until short time ago
Bruner turned up again with his "pock-
cts full of rocks,'' and demanded his
wife. She was willing, and Rains was
reminded of his own tenure according
to the contract. He admitted the
claim of Bruner to be good, and the
two proceeded to secure readjustment
of the matrimonialsno Rains apply
ing FOR divorce and Bruner aiding in
the proceedings The Judge of the
Court said that the case was rather a
serious one, and refused to dispose of
it until next term

Penny Postage between England and
America.

The London Daily News, comment
ing upon the bill lately.b before Parlia-
ment to establish penny post be-
tween England and the United States,
observes:
No doubt the reduction of the Ameri-
can postage to penny would have a
wonderful effect in developing CORE
spondence; but the change is so great
that it will take some time to effect,
and Mr.. Monsell points out that our
present contracts stand till 1876; but
Mr.. Gladstone said it might be consid-
cred whether the Postmaster General
could make new contracts, with view
to this great reform. A penny postage
between England and the United States
will some day be established, and will
tend, more perhaps than any other
possible measure, to multiply and
strengthen those personal sympathies
which, stretching across the sea, bind
the two peoples more firmly together
than the laws or treaties.

The Last Man Brotherhood, of Phil

The Last Man Brotherhood, of Phil
adelphia, consists of thirty-three mem
bers, all printers save one, and was or
ganized on the 10th of February, 1856.
The members pay ten cents yearly to-
ward fund to enable to enable the last
living man to enjoy his lonely supper.
The association holds its anniversary
on the third Saturday of February.
The last survivor will receive the pho
tographs of the entire group superbly
framed, bottle of wine and the fund
raised ior his especial benefit. Since
the organization, out of the sixteen
youngest members, ten have died,
while but two have departed from the
seventeen oldest, thus somewhat re-
versing the old adage, "The old must
die, the young may die. ,"
