Australian Towns.

Anthony Trollope says that the coun-
try towns Of Australia generally are
not attractive, aud il is hardly 10 be
expected that they should as yet be so.
There are, Of course, exceptional in
stanees.-Ballaarat, Geelong, and Beech
worth in Victoria, are exceptions, as
are also Launceston in Tasmania, and
Strathalbin and Mount Gambler in
South Australia, which, from peculiarly
of situation, or the energy of indi-
viduals, have become either well-built
cities or pleasant little towns. No
doubt there are others which l was not
able to visit. But, generally, there is
raw newness about these congrega-
tions of houses, an initiation of streets
which as yet are no more than initiated,
a deficiency in pavement and macada-
! mization which leads either to dirt or
mud, an apparent admixture of pre-
tension and failure which is indeed
indispensable to towns founded with
hopes of future greatness. but which
creates a leehpe OF melancholy sadness
ID the mind of a stranger 1t could
! nriardly have been otherwise, and yet il
grieves us to see that they VIII have
diligently made their plans, intending
to produce comfort social neatness,
and sometimes even urban Inagnihcence,
should as yet have succeeded in pro.
ducing only discomfort, untidiness;
and insignifcance, In old countries,
such as our own, towns have grown in
almost without an intention on the par
of any founder. Cities have formed
themselves out OF villages, | &c use il
has suited first this man and then, thai
to earn his bread in this or that local
ity. Consequently our streets have
been narrow and crooked, our spaces
confined and often ill-arranged, anC
our supply of water and air insufficient
for an increasing population. We art
daily compelled to pull down that we
may rebuild, and are almost angry with
ourselves, OF with those. who wen
before us, in that there has been 81
little foresight among us as to the
wants of mankind. But it has resulted
from all this that we are not, as rule
4 incomplete, pretentious, or unpictur
e6que. The new countries however have
taken a lesson from the deficiencies O
the old countries, and have commenced
their towns on certain plan, with wid'
\ streets and large spaces, and straigh
long lines, so that coming generation
of thronging men may be able to buil(
their houses in spots properly prepared
and to move about without knottin,
themselves into convenient crowds, a
men have to do in the old cities. Whel
the generations shall have come, thi
will be very we'll, and the wisdom O
the founders will be acknowledged
but in the meantime the new towns ar,
ugly, and generally dirty.

A Writing Machine.

There is now an automatic writer, the
work of western inventor, that bids
fair to realize most Of the purposes of
such an instrument. The operator sits
before three or four rows Of keys,
marked with the letters, figures, and
punctuation marks, and upon pressing
one of these the letter Is instantly re-
corded ON a sheet of paper. Speed to
the extent of fifty words a minute is
said to be easily attainable, which is
perhaps twenty words more than rapid
long hand writer will average. Greater
speed, greater ease, and greater legibili-
ty would seem to recommend the inven-
ton as one that may become very SER
viceable to overworked mankind.

Will Not Leave Home.

Mr. Bailey, of the Danbury Netcs, in
q. reply to an urgent call, backed by offers
of many ducats, to go to New York,
says: Your big city likes fresh oranges;
but it very quickly sucks them dry, and
throws them away. | don't want to be
sucked dry right off so / think I'll re-
main where | am. I've seen from my
country home how clever fellows turn
out who go to New York with grand ex-
pectations. They gave up something,
and in the end found nothing. / am
glad you want to have me come, and
] m, gladder that don't want to go.
'Danbury, insignificant village as it is,
IS good enough for me and as don't
g want TO steal anything, or get murdered,
or get up reputation for genius, / re-
spectfully but firmly decline TO pitch

French Love and Patriotism.

The GauloiS, in announcing that a
young lady of rank recently took the
veil in Partisan nunnery, thinks it
proper to reveal a fact which it evil
IDENTIFY thinks too good to be lost. Her
fathers chateau during the war became
the headquarters of some twenty Prus-
sian officers. One day, on sitting down
to dinner, zone of them forgot himself
so far as to clasp the young lady around
the waist. She took up long knife
and stabbed him to the heart. She
was arrested, but released in a day or
two on the order of Prince Frederic
Karl" Another story is that an officer,
who fought most gallantly at Metz, was
sent prisoner to Germany, and while
there fell in love with and married a
German girl. The other day he re-
turned to Paris, and went to his club as
usual, but to his surprise he was imme-
diately expelled, on the ground that he
had married into Prussian family.

"A Scene in Boston,

Recently a young man, poorly but
neatly clad. applied for lodgings at a
police station, stating that he had just
arrived in the city, and wasspenniless
and art-broken. He wasslowly dying
with consumption, and, alone in the
cold world he sought only place to re-
main until he died. His cheeks were
sunken, and his hollow voice too plainly
proved the truth of his story. st can
do nothing but put you in warm cell, Z"
said the kind-hearted lieutenant;
"nothing but that. and you could
scarcely breathe there If | send you
to the City Hospital, you will be turned
away, for they receive no incurable
cases there. Haven't you relatives who
will take care of you?' Not one, sir.
L haven't q relative in the world who
knows of my existence. I can't stay
long here, sir! 1t won't be only little
while that ] shall cumber you with my
presence, CantI find somewhere some
corner where I can lay down and wait
Fer humanity's sake, sir, don't tell me
that dying man must go into the
street" And here the poor fellow
broke down, and the tears which ran
down his cheeks and the sobs of agony
which convulsed his frame showed the
bitterness which he,sufered. The lien
tenant sadly shook his head, and, after
o small collection had been made in his
behalf, the poor hoy sought refuge else
where. His future is unknown. The
statement, however, shows the neces-
sity of some sort of an institution where
the sick and homeless poor can be shell
tered. At present the authorities can
do nothing with applications like the
above, except to tender the cherries

A Gas.propeIled Roat.

Mr.. William A. Leggo, of Montreal,
Canada, is the author of a novel method
of propelling vessels, designed especi-
ally for canal boats, to overcome the
difficulties of horse towage. He dis
cards steam wheels, ropes and other
common eontrivances. All that Mr..
Leggo uses is large bent pipe which
is attached to the stern of the vessel,
the mouth of the pipe being placed I'M
der water, pointing stern-wise. The
pipe rises to the deck, and at the upper
end of the pipe is agas light and valves
that open inwardly for the admission of
hydrogen gas and atmospheric air. AS
soon as enough hydrogen and air have
entered, to wit, two parts of hydrogen
to one of oxygen, the mixture takes fire
from the gas light, an explosion en-
sues, the valves are closed, and the
great pressure produced finds vent at
the mouth of the pipe, acting against
the water and driving the boat ahead
The valves then close again, the gases
flow In, a new explosion takes place,
and 30 on. These explosions follow
with as much rapidity as the motions Of
steam engine piston, and thus the
boat soon acquires regular velocity
Whether the manufacture, cost, and
storage of the gas, and the working O.
the gaseous motor will equal the
economies and conveniences of steam
power and its propelling appur
tenaTces remains for Mr.. Leggo tt
ascertain by trial. But we think h,
will find that steam is the cheapest ant
simplest motor, take it all in all. TIL,
same amount of fuel that he requires t.
produce the gas and work the gas en-
CINE will yield a greater amount of use

with proper boiler, engine and pro

Robbed of Health.

The richest of us is poor indeed. The summer,
pleasant and enjoyable as it s, is very apt to lay
us open to this kind Of depreciation. The high
temperature weakens the body and impairs its
vitality and the strength and energy of the sys-
tenn decline, disease following in the trail Of de-
bility obtains foothold somewhere in the frame,
in the stomach, perhaps, or the liver, the head,
or the bowels, or the nerves, In summer, there
fore, It is Of great Importance to keep the body
strong, and all its functions in healthy activity.
To promote, or rather to insure this condition of
the human machine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the standard tonic age is the thing need-
full. As a wholesome invigorant 1t stands at the
head Of all medicines Of the class to which II be-
longs. But this is only one Gifts many valuable
properties Its mild and painless eathartic action,
its anti-bllous properties and the certainty with
which Il eliminates from the blood and other
animal fluids all acrid matter that tends to produce
or foster disease, almost entitle this wonderful
preventive and curative, to the much abused APP
pellation, universal medicine. It is 40 harmless
that the most delicate female invalid may take 1t
with safety, yet so powerful that form OF bilious
OF nervous disease phase OF indi case
Of chronic constipation, no type Of intermittent
fever, can resist its sanitary operation.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are 80 common
that it is almost impossible for an editor
to express his honest opinion of the
merits of any article without being sus-
pected of Interested motives. This fact,
however, shall not deter Us from say
ing what we think of new addition to
the Materia Medica to which our atten-
ton has been recently directed. We
refer to DIR. J. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, remedy which Is
making its way into more families just
now than all the other advertised medi-
cines put together. Its popularity, as
far as we can Judge, is not based on
empty pretention. There seems to be
no question about the potency of its
tonic and altera i've properties, while it
possesses the great negative recon-
mendation of containing neither alco-
hol nor mineral poison. That it is a
specific for Indigestion, Biliousness,
Constipation, and many complaints OF
nervous origin, we have reason to know;
and we are assured on good authority
that as a general invigorant, regulating
and purifying medicine, it has no equal.

Says the Denver, Col, NetOs:: A
scheme is now on foot for running o
tunnel through the Rocky Mountains.
This may seem prodigious enterprise
at first to the casual reader, but the
parties who have the matter in hand are
sanguine Of the most complete success.
For some time past gentlemen have
been investigating the matter, and they
have arrived at the conclusion that the
project is feasible in every particular.
The idea is to tunnel the mountains
from APPOINT about one mile below Black
Hawk to the Middle Park, running in
the northwesterly direction. The tun.
mel to be run will, it is presumed, cut
many rich veins of gold and silver, and
thus a great mining interest be devel.
oped. Money for the prosecution Of
the work is furnished by English CAPT
talists, who are sanguine of the ultimate
success of the enterprise. Some idea
of the magnitude of the task may be
gathered from the fact that the tunnel
if completed, will be twelve miles il
length. 1t is intended to make it large
enough to be used for railway purposes
and so, if road is ever to be construct
ed to the Middle Park, it will find it,
convenient route through the tunnel
1t will be called the Sierra Madre Tun
mel Company, and the incorporation
papers for its organization have alread,
been filed.
