Steam Lion.

= IS - agf =s+,.ts :
We were yesterday shown model of d
new invention in the way of road steamer,
and which bears the significant title of the
s.Steam Liun.'' 1t is a recent invention of q
man in Illinois. and If it proves one-half as
effective as it promises, it is the most wonder
fiji! and powerful Invention on the face of the
earth. The machine, complete and in full
working trim, weighs about 100 pounds, or
the weight OF good horse, Is seven feet In
length, runs on three wheels, and will travel
anywhere that a common wagon can, it
tracking the same width. It is Intended to
take the place of horses, toa g reat extent, in
fte way of heavy hauling, pIowing and work
OF similar nature, 1t is said to be capable
OF drawing fifteen tons or more .at single
load up through Gold Hill and Over the Di-
vide. will ploW twenty acres a day with ease,
or 1t can be used as a stationary engine to
work any kina of machinery. The secret OF
this Immense power lies In the fact that new
principle or application of mechanical force
Is brought to bear completely, doing away
with all cranks and attendant dead centers.
IA sort Of double racket acting upon the cir
cumference OF a large spur or cogwheel in
i'm the center OF the axle of the driving
wheels, forces the machine aheau, with a
power which Gun be regalated to suit, rs can
also the rate of speed. The racket Is driven
by direct action of the piston of a steam
cy ylinder, the engine and boiler being light,
strong, and very compact. Tie Steam Lion
is just being introduced upon the Pacific
coast. and one Of the ageEts. Mr.. Fales, is
now in Gold Hill. Two or three Of the ma
chimes are being constructed at San Jose,
California. and be will have one OF them over
here in about month. when he proposes
giving public practical working test Of its
powers and capabilities. We shall await the
advent OF the Steam Lion with interest and
impotence. -Gosd Hill Nelcs.

Captain Bughee was out with his company
OIL detached duty. In fact he had two conf.
panies undor his command. He had with
him small Napolean and an ambulance.
Captain Tom was strict disciplinarian, but
"a conyivial fellow withal, and fond Of crea-
.ture comforts, not many Of which were OBJ
tanable in the wild country he was marching
through. Tie column had just left the
small hamlet Of Jasper's Cross Roads. below
Jacksonville, when the captain observed thas-
one of his drums was not beating, and direct
ed lieutenant to inquire the cause. The
lieutenant sought the DELINQUENT, and de-
nlarded to know why he was not beating

whispered into the officers ears.

\ The GENEVA AWARD AND TTE INSURANCE
COMPANIES. The Secretary of State has
taken legal advice in regard to The claims OF
various classes which are likely to arise ur-,
der any plan for distributing the Geneva
award, now expected to be paid over by
England eight or ten weeks hence. AS to
the claims of insurance companies, the, Sec
re:ary has been advised, and it is understood
that several members of the Cabinet hold
that such claims should not be recognized,
but that such portion of the entire award as,
they would be entitled to pro rata, if their,
claims were considered, should be paid info
the Treasury. The ground for this opinion
is that insurance companies charged special
premiums on account Of the extraordinary
risks they assumed, and have no equitable
claim for reimbursement out of the award
1t is also argued that as a general thing in
surance companies were not crippled by the
comparatively few losses they sustained, and
actually realized large profits from their high,
rate OF premiums; but that on the other
hand the whole community suffered from the
increased price Of supplies of all klndss,
caused by the high rates Of insurance; and
that as the whole public were the greatest
sufferers, the most equitable manner Of re
lievipg the greatest number of those incom
modea ard injured would be to pay the en-
tire sum into the Treasury and let II 60 to-
warl reducing the debt. and so Tighten the
general burden OF taxation. As the cabinet
is known to feel, the receipts of insurance
companies from this tul d will not be great,
at least until Congress legislates directly
in their favor, tr

account of the causes which led to the wal.
worth parrieide:
Mansfield Tracy Walwolth was thrown in

fathers marriage to the widow of Colonel
Hardin, and withonc the idea Occurring 70

marriage was such as to forbhI the, forming,
! Of closertics; but the young people, knew i,s
nothing of these ecclesiastical regulations; sl
! and cared little tor aught save themselves,
! and SO grew to love each other stronglyAso
deeply, indeed, that The passion after as7ss

few brief months OF wild happiness followed, e*
| AS was Inevitable, the secret exposed itself "a
/ when the betrothed wife was evidently about hi
to become. a mother. Then asccne of re-,
crimination followed. The young coiinla :.
made the excuse that they had promised 4,
themselves 10 each other, and recognized one
another by solemn words. of agreement Be- -
tween themselves as man and wife and that,

that was to make the. best ut an unhappy

marriage that had become necessity was "
formally selemnized, and three months after 60

they not been thrown togetherina common

quarreled, and tin:rily separated. Each was
jealous of the other, and each despised the,
other for youthful weakness and lndiscretion.

y Just before the defeat of the Gladstone
Ministry on the University question, a clever
kprlesque was brought out at the Court
1heater in London, in which Mr.. Gladstone,
nr. Lowe and Mr.. Ayrton were represented.
fhe piece is a trayestie of Mr.. Gilbert's
wicked World" and is called The Happy
land" Three privy councillors visit fairy
Bnd 10 bestow on the fairies the blessings of
&pular government. One of them has the
long nose, hard lines and grizzled hair of the
Prime minister; another, the snowwhite
mir and rosy coun,enance Of the chancellor
d the exchequer; and the third the AFRO
0nt whiskeIs and sunny, self-conGdent coun-
tansnce of the first commissioner Of works.
they Come skipping on the stage, and sing
s.song, and after some character touches, and
alcan-can in which the prime minister is seen
daddy careering in whirl Of unclothed di
whites of the ballet, they set to work to es-
t4blish parliamentary government, and TO
e}ect cabinet by competitive examination,
o. the principle of giving to every one the
Office of which he knows least, and for which
lie is mos; conspicuously unfit; the result OF
which is infinite confusion, and at last an
atpeai from the fairies to the privy COUNSEL
ors to retire and take their government with
them. The little affair created snch an ex-
element that the ingenious manager was
compelled TO leave out the caricatures at the
command Of the Lord Chamberlain.

could easily enough attend to the duties Of
U. S. Senator without in any way interier-

Mr.. Russell Is following out our suggestion
for We did suggest that he oushtto cast about
for another Office after he had demonstrated
to the ample satisfaction Of every one that
he could hold tao Office. and draw a salary
of 50 GOO a year for one and 81 900 for Il e
other without fa.iguing himself. II Ed.
could get promoted to United States Senator
and get s. 800 on top OF the 81, 900, and per
quisiies which he now gets from Lesven-
worth county, insurance companies, and the
State Of Kansas, he would be able to weather
through the hard timeS. Some people in
the city supposed re would resign the place
of Auditor after his appointment TO the In.
suraroe Department, and We believe there
was little canra-sins among asPirants for
the position, but Ell. put q stop to all such
premature electioneering by boldly an
nouncing that he could run both Offices.
He ought to be able TO attend to both Offices,
