Successful Railroad Brake.

! man appeared lately in Mauch Chnnh
with patent r-brake tor railroad cars
for sale. He claimed that it would stop a
train gong at the highest rate OF speed
n half its own length. There was GER
tain railroad man also up there who treated
this suggestion with scorn, and said he
would wager large sums that the air-brake
wouldn't stop a train any quicker than any
ether brake SO he borrowed the contriv-
ance and fixed it on an an open car on the
Switchback railroad, and went up to the top
of Mount Pisgah to get a fair start. He let
her come down the inclined plane for
awhile until she began to move along at the
rate Of sixty miles an hour, and then he
suddenly placed his foot on the brake and
put On with full power. One minute later
the eye of any solitary traveller passing
through those wilds might have observed d
car standing perfectly still on the track,
and a railroad man going down hill among
the blackberry bushes and underbrush
head foremost at the rate-say of forty six
miles an hour He was carried home on a
stretcher, with an abiding faith in the sue
cess Of the invention, but thinks its useful
ness would be improved if some other man
would improve on the machine, SO as to
avoid the certain Generalization overtak-
ing those who use it.

A hard hit at the Virginia Legislature of
last winter is circulating il Richmond. 1t
appears that a party, who had his own
reasons for making the inquiry, approached
a Pennsylvania railroad man, and asked
him fatty whether his company intended
to spend any more money in Richmond.
"No, sir, no; emphaticaliy no." was the cx-
cited reply. why not" IN tell you
why, sir The members of the PENNSYLVANIA
Legislature are gentlemen, sir-perfect
gentlemen. You don't have to bribe but
on once; but (bringing his fist in virtuous in.
dignation upon the table, 'these ID
scoundrc's in Virginia have no more con-
science than hog, and you never, know

When being asked how many Republicans
were in the lobby, he answered by saying
that the 'third House" was reputed as con-
tanning more members than the actual
House.
In the examination on political views, the
witness said he was Democrat, resided IN
the sixth ward, had been corresponding
secretary of the central committee, and
originally visited the State House to tako
items on the apostate Democrats who were
selling out. He succeeded in getting up
considerable items. The opinion OF MIR.
Scott was that the people had accepted the
situation; that they had distrust OF carpet
baggers and scalawags, not meaning
to apply the first term to Northern
men, as he was a Northern man him.
self: that he thought there was no doubt,
were fair election to be held it would 60
Democratic, and much more to the same
purport. The witness describes his bust
ness as passenger agent of the jackson
railroad, but denied he was employed by
H. S. Kimball to carry through the law re-
ferred to in his testimony.
He had seen list Of the members of the
Legislature who intended to vote for the
bank funding bill, funding the s5.0OO,OOO
bonds, and who did vote for the same on
consideration of from $500 in bonds, up.
Such is about the purport Of Mr.. SCOTS
testimony.
Mr.. John c. Sinnott testified in regard to
the charge made in the Governors testi-
tlmony Of corruption fund being held in
the Customhouse, subject to the approval of
the levee shed law, which the Governor had
vetoed and killed. The witness, one of the
five incorporators of the law which author
lied the construction of sheds on the levee
to be controlled by the company,
had put up $1,000, his share of the
funds with the object, he distinctly
stated, of putting it through the Legis-
lature." The law had passed, but had
been vetoed when the money paid by the
incorporators agreeably to an agreement
was refunded by Collector Casey, in whose
custody it was. He had called up at the
Customhouse, received the money in a
package which, he believed, had been lying
funds in the banking house which wit
ness named. Witness defined the politi-
cal status of the incorporators and parties in
interest in the bill to consist almost entirely
of Democrats, those whom he did not call
Democrats being put down as q doubtful"
In politics the witness was a Democrat:
had always been one, and knew nothing,
personally, of the mode usually put in ope-
ration to secure the passage of a bill.
The witness had never tried, nor did he
wish to try, to pass a political law through
the Legislature, as 10 inducement could
prevail over the Republicans to pass it.
Having organized a colored Democratic
club, he clothed them, shod them, fed them,
and gave them whisky twice a week. Not
withstanding all this care, they went
back" and voted the Republican ticket after
all. Witness thought that every issue for
which the people of the State had struggled
was dead and buried, and intimated that
the Democratic party, as party. had
cea sei to exist,

4 New York dispatch 10 the Chicago
Tribune contains the following: ''The sub
iect much discussed just now by the press
and people is Horace Greeley's editorial in
to-day's Tribune, earnestly opposing Grants
reorganization on the ground of his weak
ness as a candidate, independent of any
other reason. 1t excites much comment in
political circles. Republicans generally de-
nouuce it as untrue and dangerous, calcu-
lated and designed to create the very dis
satisfaction which Greeley declares exists
respecting Grant. Democrats approve of
the article. and say it is strong proof of
Greeleys honesty and sincerity. Greeley
is understood to be willing to support
Graut, if nominated, with all the strength
and influence of the Tribune, but that he
conscientously believes he can't be elected
a second time, and would rather have any
body else"

4 Large and Imposing Edificc.

The new Masonic Temple is about completed
r. S. Payne 81 Co. have moved into one of the
Store rooms, and the other will be ready for &C.
cupation soon. The building fronts 70 feet on
Gay street and 1873 on Church. The corner
store will be occupied by Mr.. S. B. Boyd, is %
by 40 feet inside and is handsomely fitted up
with counters and shelves. AS above stated, r.
5. Payne u Go. occupy the other store room
The first room is 48 by 135 feet
| inside, and is one of the largest and handsom-
est store rooms in the South, and is complete in
| every respect The office room is elegantly ar
| ranged. y wide, handsome stairway leads to
the second story, the dimensions of which are
the same as the first. A patent elevator is used
| for hosting and lowering goods to and from the
second and third stories.
The second story of the corner building is
| finished with seven large offices, which are en-
tered from the Church street entrance.
The third story is arranged for a Masonic
Hall: The Lodge room is one of the largest
and handsOmest IN the State. 1t is 48 by 20 feet
inside and 10 feet from floor to ceiling. This
room will be finished in frescO and fitted up
we presume, with handsome furniture the cost
of which will not be less than s., 500 This
floor also contains library and reception room,
the necessary ante rooms and Banquet Hail.
They are approached by wide and elegantly
finished stairways. The building has been COM
pleted at a cost of about $25, 600, and has been
rapidly pushed forward by our ener-
getic fellOw-citizen Mr.. James Kennedy, who
had the entire contract for the building,
from the plans and under the superintendent
of NJ. a. c. Bruce the Architect The plan
does credit to the taste and skill of Mr.
Bruce, and he may well be proud of it.
The front of the building embraces many fea-
lures of modern street architecture, and in its
architectural proportions and finish is one of the
handSomest, if not the handSomest building in
the city, and reflects credit on the liberal spirit
of its owner.
The doors and windows in front of the lower
story are made of black walnut finished with
oil. The windows of the second story are filled
with a single pane in each sash, of the |
finest French glass. The front walls are of
pressed brick. The windows are circular head, |
arranged in triplet, mounted with galvanized |
iron caps, and cOrbels. The first story ccrnice |
Is very elaborate in design and is of galvanized |
iron, with pllasters of same material running |
from sill to cOrnice trusses The upper or main |
cornice is of the same material, in the centre of
which an arch rises to receive the inscription |

the regular "Mansard style, in the centre of
which is a central dome rising above the main
roof ornamented handsomely.
In addition to its architectural beauties. the
roof is covered in front with Vermont slate of
colors. green and red. The Mansard
will be mounted with an iron cresting to COM
plete the finish of the root.

a Sad Falling Ont

1t is indeed sad falling out when, after years
of the closest intimacy, the hair parts company
with the head. Fortunately the lamentabie
separation may be easily prevented and the
ly and systematic use of Lyons Kathairon. the
most potent invigorant of the hair and promo
ter of its growth and beauty known to modern
pharmacy. 1t completely Obviates the dry and
parched condition of the roots of the hair,
which i, preliminary to its coming out, by sup
plying the precise degree of moisture requisite
to its preservation in a healthy state. 1t is the
only true dissolYent and evaporant of dandruff
and other impurities of the scalp, whose pres
ence is injurious to the hair. As a beautifer of
the head the Kathairon has no equal. 1t not
only increases the quantity of the hair, but i'm
trous appearance and silky texture which are
exceedingly attractive
