NOVEL DANGER SIGNALs.-Men are
now engaged in erecting novel danger
signals at every bridge and tunnel on
the Hudson River Railroad, to warn
brakemen, who are compelled at times to
run along on the tops of trains, of their
near approach to such dangerous places.
A pole is erected by the side of the track,
and an arm projects from it at the top,
over the track. From this arm hangs a
wire fringe, low enough to strike a
brakeman on the front piece of the cap
or against the face if he is standing up
as the train passes. This perceptibly
notifies him that he is only one hun
dred feet from the bridge or tunnel,
and must lie down at once. The blow
inflicted by the fringe is momentarily a
singing one, but produces no evil re-
sults.-,SyracuSe STANDARD.

BoRAX.-Nevada furnishes Che richest
borax deposits in the United States.
One company own deposits which cover
an area of twenty thousand acres. This
is said by biacksmiths, wIb have tried
it, to be superior to the bsst English
borax. The crude mineral consists Of
borate of lime, and borate of soda, mixed
with sand, mud, carbonate Of soda,
chloride OF soda and magnesia. The
supposition is that warm springs OF
boraeic acid rise in those flats or lakes,
and that the acid uniting with the lime
of the country rock, or with the soda
formed in the flats, forms the borates.
At some points, few feet below the sur
face, the water is quite hot. There are
also borax deposits in Lake County,
Cal, which yield a very good article
The annual consumption of this useful
substance in the world, is estimated al
eleven thousand tons.

TWEED's SECRET PLANS.
RumOrs of his Intcded Flight.

Although Mr. Tweed has denied that lie
intends to resign his position as Commls-
sioner of Public Works, and strenuously
asserted his intention of taking his seat in
the Senate, the belief is general that he
will resign If the flight for which he is be-
lieved to be making preparations does not
occur prematurely. On Saturday gentle
man, who has every means of obtaining trust
worthy information in regard TO the ring
movements, said to Tribune reporter 81
am not at liberty TO give you any author
ity, but ] know that Tweed will resign his
position in a few days. l tell you this.
knowing that it is correct" This was in
dorsed by prominent member of the Tam
many society. On several occasions, last
week, Sheriff Brennan, who is supposed to
know much more of the inner working OF
the Tammany Ring than he chooses TO di-
vulge, prophesied startling developments,
and one of these is thought to be Mr..
Tweed's flight at an early day. Charles
O'Conor entertaius very decided opinion
that Mr. Tweed having, without disguise
prepared to leave this city for foreign
land, will soon put his plans in practice
and go. Mr.. O'CoEor bases his belief, in q
large degree, on the fact that Mr.. Tweed
is doing just what men who intend to run
away usually do-tbat is, they take al
they can with them. The bail of 1000,
900 Mr.. O'Conor does not deem sufficient
CO prevent Mr.. Tweed from fleeing from
Justice, and he has little confidence in thu
officers whose duty it will be to arrest hin
in any attempt he may make to leave th'
country..

sUNNYsIDE HEATER.

SUSEYsIDE AT MARYLAND STATE FAIR, BAL
TIMoRE.-First premium for Fire place Heaters
awarded the Sunnyside.
Advantages of the Snnnyside:
l. 1t is so constructed that one-thrl more of
the radiating surface extends into the room, Civ
ing that much more additional heat without ex-
ira fuel.
g 1t is the only Hot-Ar Fireplace Heater in
the market. Like the regular built cellar heater,
it loses no heat but confines it all to its legiti-
purposes.
3. The fuel magazine is double the usual size,
extending from the ire-box to the top of the
stove, with capacity for twenty-four hours sup
ply of coal.
4. The patent double cover for coal maya zine
consumes the gas, prevents escape of gas into
the room, and makes it impossible for any puff
tings or explosions to occur. This is advant-
age possessed by no other fireplace stove in the
market.
5. There are three air ccambcrs, Wherein q
brisk circulation is kept up, drawing the cold air
in the room through heated fues into large
hot-air reservoir, at the back of the stove
u. No side pipes are used, as the air is heated
in reservoir having double radiatng fucs and
double back, supplying large quantities of hot
air without waste of heat or fuel.
Z. The SuNNYsIDE utiizes the waste heat so
thoroughly that we frequently heat an adj dining
room on the first besides heating the rooms in
second and third stories.
s. dampcr on top of the stove, connected
with the hot air hues, controls the quantity of
hot air required for the use of either the upper
or lower rooms. All other fireplace stoves are
very inconvcnient in this respect.
.. The Crate is self,scaling, and no dust Can
escape while shaking it.

Rev. Henry ward Beecher on Pol
isics.

Beecher delivered strong sermon on
Sunday on the Purity of the Ballot" He
said the greatest of all danger was the IN
difference of educated men to the ballot,
and there was more danger now from gi-
gantic money corporations than there was
from slavery.
The promiscuous hanging of men TO lamp
posts will not correct the evil. Reforma-
ton must commence in the church, in the
schools, in the household. We must re-
deem the ballot, or there is no use OF talk
ing of reformation. He believed promi'
nent men of both parties have conspired to
make the ballot venial. The civil service
of the nation is n standing threat against
the liberty of the nation. The custom
house is bribery shop, and if these vast
places are to be put up for sale this govern
ment cannot long exist. Conscience must
be applied to politics, and the pulpit must
teach the conscience of the people. To bt
good Christians people must be good citi
zens. Self government is not a failure W.
must not give way to cowardice. The ex
pertinent must be fought out. Self govern
ment must not fail, and by the help of Goo
| it shall not fail. There were several out
bursts of applause during the sermon.
