ELI Perkins Tennessee.ed.

The New York Sun gives the following
amusing account of one of the playful moods
of the New York stock exchange:
A well-lressed gentleman, with blue neck
tie, clear, gray eyes, light overcoat, massive
nose, kid gloves, heavy moustache, glossy bea-
yer, expansive brow, patent leather boots,
sandy hair, gold chain, small ears, and gold
headed cane, drifted into the stock exchange
This was Mr.. Eli Perkins, of The CONNER
cial Advertiser. His appearance on the floor
of the exchange was a violation of the rules,
which admit none but members Mr.. Per-
kins walked up to the presidents desk and
made himself perfectly at home After some
minutes he carelessly sauntered down on the
floor. E @ E
In an instant a heavy-yoiced stock broker
raised the cry of Tennessee" The alarm
was taken up. 1t ran about the immense
room like wildire. The brokers rushed for
Mr.. Perkins like drove of buffaloes. His
glossy beaver was sent spinning to the ceiling,
and his gold-headed cane went hurting
through the air like an arrow. As the shin
ing beaver descended it was caught on the toe
OF a prominent broker boot, and sent whiz-
zirg over the presidents desk. The pres-
dent saluted it, and down it went to the 9th
er end OF the room as though discharged from
a catapult Every broker gave it a vicious
kick. First the tile turned somersaults in
tne ar, then danced along the, floor anon
paid its respects to the delighted spectators in
the gallery, and finally rested on the inside
OF the railing, shapeless ruin. sss
Meanwhile Mr.. Perkins began to suffer
from the attentions of the bulls and bears.
One of the bears stood back to Eli, and sud-
denly bent himself as if on hinges. Mr., Per-
kins shot forward like an empty coal car. He
came in collision with well knit bull, who
applied his shoulder to Mr.. Perkins, and gave
lurch. In second Eli was spinning over
the floor like waterspout. The uproar was
deafening. A hundred men were bawling
tennessee" at the top of their voices. All
were heaving, showing, and screaming. Mr..
Perkins was tossed from one to the other like
gigantic clothes pin. Once he assumed
pugllistic attitude, but this only produced
peals of laughter The brokers went at him
with renewed appetites. They began to toss
him into the air and roll him over the floor
like stray ten-pii. Mr.. Perkins grew white
when an active broker shouted. 'sLet us hang
nm r he begged that they would spare his
lie at least. Here one of the bulls secured
the remains of Mr.. Perkins glossy beaver and
drew it over Elis scalp. Then they gently
raised Mr.. Perkins and stood him on his head
Then the drove of bulls and bears danced
about him like circle of savages about a CAP
tive. Mr.. Perkins finally got on his feet, and
watching his opportunity, shot out of the
gate like an antelope, leaving behind his hat
and cane. The merry brokers sold these art
lcles by auction; after which the bears and
bulls resumed the fight over Erie, raising it
higher than they had raised Mr.. Eli Perkins
hat.

OFFICE OF
Blanchard Maine State Boiler Co.

IINHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface, built upon
new principle, namely that of stopping the verticai
circut 1tion, accomplished by of two horizon
tai didphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water -4.. -.i-r
The smeke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend and
roturn through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
In the third compartment. By this operation the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 80
per cent more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the heating surface in the
Market and will continue to do so, long 1t is
used and we will back our guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
to the following facts that while running this
boierwith coal or wood the sparks are neutrazed
and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
which in itself is a most valuable advantage never
before realized.
Confning ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us
