FIRE WALL FELL.-The heavily-orna.

FIRE WALL FALL.--The heavily-orna-
mented fire wall on the south side OF
Quimby's new brick building. on the
corner Of First and Taylor streets, fell
with tremendous crash this forenoon.
The entire length of cornice separated
from the main wall, about where the
heavy timbers are built into it. The
ornamental work was too heavy, and
projected SO far over the perpendicular
that it gave way. The damage will be
but slight, and can be replaced in a few
days. We think it would be profitable
to take lesson by this, concerning the
effect OF heavy ornamental work around
the fire wall of a building. Nsrs.

Az AIR CANAL BoAT-A canal boat to
run by air has been invented in Maine
The machinery consist of small up
right engine of about six horse power,
a fan and two cylindrical air compress
ers. The engine runs the fan, and also
works the val> es of the air compressers,
from which the air is forced through a
pipe to the bottom of the boat, by the
admission of steam at the top. The
bottom of the boat under the stern has
an inclination of about thirty-fve de-
Srees, the inclination beginning twenty
five feet from tie stern. The air is let
out at the bottom of the boat, at the
base Of The incline, through valve,
which Keeps the water from coming in,
and as it naturally seeks the surface in
a straight line, it rushes along up this
incline, and thus pushes The boat ahead,
or really the boat slides along on the
air. The force thus obtained is equal
to twenty six horse power, and is calcu-
lated to propel a loaded canal boat along
at the rate of five or six miles an hour.

rhe Dobt Interest pairing the War,


Mr.. O'Ferrall made an earnest but un-
successful effort yesterday to call up his
bill providing for the non-payment of In
terest on the old state debt during the war.
The bill has q great deal more merit m it
than may be perceived by the ordinary
intelligence of the House, for it covers q
principle familiar only to such minds as
have devoted themselves more or less to
the study Of international law, and few
members of any state legislature ever
have occasion to do this.
During the war the Southern states were
recognized as belligerents. In fact it be-
came necessary at the very outset OF the
rebellion, as it was called, that the Federal
government should acknowledge such re-
cognition in common with the ''rest of
mankind" This recognition of belliger-
ency carried with it certain universally
recognized principles as affecting the
citizens Of the two ~belligerent powers.
We use the term ''powers," for the
reason that it is impossible for any politi-
cal organization, whether of states or of
the individuals composing them, to be-
come formidable enough for recognition
as q be lligerent without being, in fact, a
s'power." Now, the first recognized prin-
ciple in regard to belligerency is, that 1t
suspends the payment of all debts be-
tween the citizens of the respective states
or nations between which a declaration Of
war has passed, or the fact of bel
ligerency has occurred. As the principal
part Of the old Virginia debt was held
by the people of the North, at the chiel
monetary centres Of the Republic, it fol-
lowed as a matter of course that wher
President Lincoln issued his call for seven
ty-fve thousand troops to suppress the re
bellion, OF more accurately speaking, thu
Southern Confederacy," and Virginia, al
a state, united her fortunes with the latter
it suspended the payment of all debts al
between the citizens of the North ant
South, and consequently suspended tn
interest. But q suspension of interes
for any given period is equivalent to stop
ping it entirely for such period. Interes
is what is paid for the use Of money, an
there can be no use Of that which is legal
ly denied to exist during belligerency
Hence war in suspeniing payment Q
money obliterates all interest during it
continuance, if it does not terminate il
such a way as to defeat the payment O
principal and interest both.

THE reports lately coming to US by ca
BILE to the effect that King Amadeus in
tended to abdicate the Spanish throne is to
be received with some caution, because the
young monarch is as plucky as he is liberal
and enlightened. Still it would not be sur
prising should his natural disgust at the
chronic restiyeness and discomfort OF his
subjects induce him to take such a step. AL
most ever since his accession to the throne,
Spain has been in a state of constant con-
~vulsion. The royal interloper has had q
wretched time of it generally, and if he
has really determined to pack up his valise
and betake himself back to his ancestral
vineyards Of Savoy, he will have performed
one of the most sensible actions of his
whole life.

..Kenneth, MY King.''

Miss Sallie A. Brock, author OF this
novel, is known as one of the most ready,
versatile and agreeable writer's on the
American press. In both prose and verse,
Miss Brock never touches a subject
without such acquaintance with it as will
insure success, and thus fortified, in the slx
years of her literary life, she has made a
name among the most honored in the pro-
~fession. The scenes Of "KenaeM My
King" are, the most of them, laid in this,
the authors native State, and in matter,
character and incident, the story is a attn
full portralture of society and customs,
which, in the changed political status, can
never again exist in the Old Dominion and
thus is the work possessed of extraordinary
historical and social interest. Miss Brock
writes of what she knows, and disdaining
| conventionalism in the plot and conduct of
her novel, she SO thoroughly invests her
drdmatis person@ with flesh and blood,
that they start out before the readers as
living, moving beings, in a play in which

THERE is great dissatisfaction among
the working people of the country, and
more particularly among intelligent and
skilled mechanics. The strike of the Cris-
pins in Baltimore is having an immense
influence in the west and southwest, where
other branches of the trades unions are
preparing for similar movements. We are
no advocates of strikes, while we are al
ways ready to stand by all classes of men
who are defending their just claims to con-
sideration and their business rights.

Compressed Air Motive Power.

We publish to-day an advertisement of
our friend, Horace H. Day, who is the for
tunate possessor Of a large interest in, and
exclusive control over and manager Of the
valuable patents of DR.. Royce, for COM
pressing air and transmitting power, claim
ed to be the only practical mechanism yet
discovered to effect the purpose. 1t was
only after DR.. Royce had published his
patents in France and England that the
Italian engineers entered upon their expert
ments to demonstrate the p~racticability of
using compressed air without the agency Of
which the boring of Mont Gents tunnel
would have been impossible. DR.. Royce's
inventions were first made public by a pat
emit in 1857, simultaneously in England,
France, and the United States, and the
first work was done with it on the tunnel
of the Alps in 1869, on the Italian side.
The fact is not generally known that
Europe is indebted to an American inven-
tor for the method Of certain success
which so t~riumphantly indicated the
wondrous power Of compressed air
at Mont Gents. Any visitor to the works
at North Adams, can see to-day in our
own Hoosac tunnel the Royce machine
still in operation in exact accordance with
the original model and drawings, fulfilling
its great mission.
Some years ago Mr.. Day entered upon
an extended series of experiments to test
the practicability of constructing machine
nv, which would enable him by COM
pressed air, to transmit power from
Niagara Falls to Buffalo, and while thus
engaged DR.. Royce brought to his notice
his own early dicoveries and patents, and
placed them at his disposal, and Mr..
Days extensive experience in patents
enabled him at once to see the value,
and with characteristic energy and fore
sight made haste to test the correctness OF
DR.. Royce's principle, and seeing that tie
patent was nearly expired, ordered its ex-
tension and reissue to cover the defects Of
too broad claims. The patents have been
submitted to the most experienced scientific
engineers and patent lawyers, and are de.
clored to cover the only successful methods
Of COMPRISING and transmitting power
therefrom. W. congratulate DR.. Royce in
having secured the patent experience and
business energy Of Mr.. Day in restoring
his rights, and introduced his inventions,
and hope both will realize good returns.
The right man is in the right place, and
We predict success +; we feel certain it il
merited.
