The Ne,c York Tribune Of the 18th
says: IAN the signs point to a heavy
campaign on Congress and IN Congress
for a substantial expansion of the cur
rency. In some quarters at the West
the manufacturers talk strongly in
favor of immediate measures for specie
payments, no matter if the present
pinch be little intensified thereby; but
IN many others there is a revival Of the
old greenback heresy. All the lame
ducks in and out Of New York, and
thousands Of their friends. JOIN in the
same cry; and the outgiyings from
Washington alarm us somewhat as to
the President S alleged purposes in the
same direction That which alarms
the Tribune as to the Presidents proba-
bly, the information impaired by the
Philadelphia Press. That journal has
advices from Washington which author
ize it to make this statement concern
inc the Presidents views on the fnan-
cial situation:
The President is keeping his own conn
sells. but from the expressions Of opinion
he has hitherto given ont it is reasonably
certain that hc will recommend some plan
whereby there stall result a substantial in
crease in the volume Of the circulating
medium. The pressure from business men
everywhere in favor Of such relief is so IT.
gcsistible that both the President and Con
gress would be constrained 10 yield to it,
even ii they believed that it is possible to
get out o. our difficulties by enduring fur
lher pinching and contraction.

THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette writes, Nov. II:
Judge Olin to-day revoked the order
the heirs Of the Aulick estate claimed
he had made, approving the bill for
board, rent. school expenses, and nurs-
ing from the day Of his majority to his
death, filed by the family Of Commo-
dore Aulick against one Of his deceased
sons. The Judge affirmed that he had
never passed such bill and that one
Of such a scandalous character could
never pass his court. -
In this case the son Of Commodore
Aulick secretly married a girl who is a
clerk in the Treasury Department, and
This fact became known only after his
death. The bill which Judge DIN de-
nomces as scandalous, was trumped up
10 absorb the estate Of young Aulick
and leave his widow Penniless.

TESTING STEAM BOILERs.

The United States Commissioners APP
pointed last winter to experiment Will
a view to test the strength of steam
| boilers under various circumstances
have commenced their labors near the
city of New York. Congress appropri
ated 100000 to cover expenses. The
aim of the first experiment was to test
the theory that with low water in g
boiler the iron plates become heated
and weakened so as to be less able tc
resist pressure ever afterwards. Steam
in the upper part of the boiler was SUI
perheated $50 degrees when a tube
collapsed Scientists on the commits.
sion expressed the opinion that such a
loss of strength does take place. A
large low-pressure lobster-back boiler
was next tested by being heated to a
steam pressure of 20 pounds, at which
point it ruptured seam on the upper
side of the shell, without doing further
damage. The split occurred in soft
patch and was about Is inches long. 1t
was shown by the gauges that even
after the rupture took place, the steam
pressure continued to increase and the
rupture did not extend, experts con-
Guiding from these results that over
pressure Of steam will rupture boiler
if it has a weak spot, whereas it would
be likely to explode it violently, and
consequently with danger if the boiler
Is uniformly strong at all points.
These experiments, if thorough, and
extended, possess national Importance.
1t is plain that if boiler plate is once
weakened by great heat, the vibration
OF steam, perhaps often repeated in
actual service, or by low water in the
boiler, such plate can never recover its
primitive strength. How far, and how
fast, steam boilers i'll mills, factories
and on railway engines impair their
first strength can only be ascer-
tanned by careful experiments. 1t is
known that the best iron and steel lose
their tenacity. Intimately connected
with the loss of strength in steam boil
ers, is the loss of tenacity in chains and
wires like those in the suspension
bridge in Nashville. The iron in this
bridge is subjected to a great and I'M
necessary strain, which, with the per-
cussion of much crossing, and incident
al vibration, may weaken the chains
more than engineers suppose possible.
To the surprise Of their builders, large
number Of iron railway bridges have
fallen with much less weight than
they once were able to sustain. The
law that accuD,ulates force in the wire
Of chain bridge till it breaks easily,
few engineers understand. Force is
never annihilated, no more than mat
ter.

A psRK AND rNDUsrRrAL MUSE


We desire to cali the attention OF our
agricultural friends and other readers
to the fair ground near this city, a no.
tice of which has been copied into these
columns from the Rural SuSa, and take
occasion to say few words in favor OF
converting this well known and beaun-
full place into a city park and industrial
museum. The property is under a
pretty heavy mortgage and is destined
to be sold soon, and doubtless Will be
cut up into building lots, unless funds
can be raised to preserve it for public
uses and purposes. 1t is not too much
to say tina. the industrious, enterprIz-
ing population of Nashville really de-
serve the health-promoting luxury OF
public park of seventy-fve acres,
or more, and by economizing their
municipal expenses, money enough
would soon be saved to purchase the
land and make all needful improve
ments. The city is growing in that dl-
rection, and the Vanderbilt University.
in the immediate neighborhood, is like
ly to impart a permanent value to real
estate in that quarter which is worth
considering. A public park, instead ot
iniuring an industrial museum, would
help it. The vast natural resources OF
our State signify very little without
united industry, intelligence and enter,
prise. These are to be cultivated
through the influence Of well organized
public institutions. A frst-class in
dustrial museum, embracing ground
enough to show fifty different species
of grass growing in their natural state,
and many other important agri'
cultural facts, will be educational
not less than any school OF
university in the whole commonwealth,
The principal objection to our State
Fairs is that they are not sufficiently
instructive. The people desire to learn
something that is useful. They have nc
objection to spirited horse-trot, but
they want to feel that they are gaining
knowledge as well as being amused by
an idle show, Teaching and learning
with a view to universal improvement
are the leading ideas of this age. Crest
progress in this direction has already
been achieved by large combinations Of
individual effort. Are we in Tennes-
see incapable of combining our sepa-
rate strength SO far as to purchase sew
enty or eighty acres of land, with the
designof uniting the pleasures Of park
with the instruction of a museum?
Productive labor OF capital should be
placed where it Will be fruitful forever
A State Fair is open and fruitful only
one or two weeks in a year. This is
an Obvious defect. An agricultural,
mechanical and mineral museum, and
a public park will be useful the year
round, and always teaching important
lessons. 1t viii be an inviting school
for old and young-a place for innocent
recreation, where ali, whether poor or
rich, may walk, ride or drive, and enjoy
nature IN her sweetest aspects. Let
this chance be lost to secure so large
and desirable a tract for public park
and museum, and another equally ia
Forable is not at all likely ever to occur.

OUR Attorney General, Mr.. B. D.
Johnson, is inaugurating a new and

against the Sheriff and his securities

return has not been infrequent hereto

pose the parties vii hardly seek to
