COMPRESSED AIR AS A MOTIVE
POWER.
Of the use of compressed AZ as q !

OF the use OF cOmpreSSeu air IS motive
power the Scientific american says:
"This is no idle chimera. 1t only wants
the coming man to apply this force in the
manner above mentioned. By the use of
air from large reservoirs, much longer street
cars can be used for early and late travel in
largo cities; to take operatives to their work,
and home at night. This is want in cities.
In fact, some strong, reliable power must be
devised to bring the suburbs of cities into
close proximity, as it were, to the centre.
1t viii greatly enhance the value of subur-
ban property, as well as property down
town" 1t estimates the saving ON each
horse-car at over 81, 900 per year.

UNION AND AMERICAN.
IT NEVER COMEs AGAIN,

There are gains for all our losses,
d, There are balms for all our pain,
But wher youth, Tie dream departs,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhOOd's steTner reign,
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with fiying feet,
And viii never come again,
Something beautiful is banished,
And we sigh for il in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But il never comes again.

In the morning stocks advanced, but in the
afternoon the improvement was lost, and in
some cases the lowest figures OF the day
were made. Many parties who brought
stocks yesterday and this morning on the
theory that money would be easier, were
disappointed at the turn of affairs, aud sold
out during the afternoon Late in the day
there was steadier tone to speculation,
but the market was dull and had a tired
aspect. Market closed dull and steady, ex-
cept Erie which was strong with sales at
