California Quail.

Postmaster General Creswell re-
ceived a coop of California Quail or
partridges, at Washington, this week,
and sent them to his place at Elkton.
He proposes keeping these beautiful
birds till Spring and then letting them
90. There are three or four dozen Of
the birds, and if the climate is adapted
to them aud poaching gunners are re-
strained or persuaded to spare them,
they will soon spread over the coun-
try. The California Quail is slightly
larger than our partridge but resem-
bles it very much, in its general ap-
pearance and feathers. The male
bird is striped with white on the sides
of the head similar to our partridge.
and the under feathers of the two
species bear Il strong resemblance:
but the back Of the Pacific bird in
clines to dove color. The head Of the
male bird has beautiful crest unlike
any of the birds which inhabit the At
lantic States or Mississippi Valley.
The female is palmer i'll her plumage,
has no stripes on the cheeks and a Very
small crest, apparently one feather
RISING about three-fourths Of an inch
and curving at the top. The crest Of
the male is of the same character
but much larger If Mr. CresweIl is
successful in propagating the species il
will prove beautiful and valuable uc-
quisition to the birds Of our groves
anl l4lls.--ErH Ihip.

successful Test Of q Road Steamer.
From the Philadelphia Press Of Thursday. ~
Yesterday afternoon the first road steamer
invented and manufactured I'm this country
made trial trip at the navy-yard. 1t IL the
intention of the Government to supply her
various navy-yards with these machines for
hauling and lifting heavy machinery, espc4
cia'iy iron plating and heavy ca.inor. The
invention has PROVEN complete success, for
upon being attached to the largest gunrin the
yard, weighing ten tons, it drew It the dis
lance of four squares with the greatest case
and Mt fast rate. 1t also hoisted in short
time number of heavy guns on board Of the
PoWhatan, now under repairs at the yard.
Attempts have been made for the last forty
years to perfect road engine capable Of
doing general work, but all more or less
have failed on account Of their heavy weight
or the difficulty experienced in applying the
power to the WhealG 90 as to move tho en-.
CINE.
The steamer is called the america" and
closely resembles the hind portion of the fire
steam engines now in use in this city. 1t has
two driving wheels. and small guidin"
wheel III front, which is attached to brake.
The diameter OF the driving wheel is about
G6 inches; the diameter of the guide wheel
81 inches. The boiler is 3s inches in diane
ter by 6 feet inches in length. The total
length of the machine is about 10 feet. The
extreme width of track is rs inches. The
breadth of the faces Of the driving wheels is
10 inches, and that of the guide wheel G
inches. The capacity of the water-tank is
25O gallons. The fuel burgers carry hard
coal for ten hours labor. The cylinders are
7xl2 inches. The total weight IS from 1000
to 5000 pounds. The wheels are driven by
gear wheels attached on their inner sides.
1t is built with special reference to its adar.
tation to all the various usea to which self
moving power may be applied, and the in
ventor, Mr.. George W. Fits, of this city, as
serts that it can be used for o stationary as
well as movable power by simply blocking
up the driviug-wheels, the outer rims CT
which consist of blocks of gum Get In pockets
and fastened to the main rims of the wheel.
By this means it can be used for saving,
thrashing, and all the purposes where sta
tonary power is needed. This locomotive
was made By the American Road Steamer
Company of this city, the making being su.
pcrvised by Mr.. Fits, the inventor.
