New Propeller Wheel

Judge Maynard, of Tennessee, has
patented propeller wheel, which, it is
claimed, will propel vessel at a high
rate of speed and with the same amount
OF steam power as the screw now in
use. The popularity of The wheel
consists IN SO arranging the blades in a
convex form that the water is thrown
from the vessel IN line with the pro
peters axis, preserving the power
which Is now expended in overcoming
the lateral resistance OF the water to
the blades of the propeller. The
experiments with small model have
been SO satisfactory that the Secretary
of the Navy has directed Chief Enci-
neer Wood, United States Navy, to
make such experiments with the Nav
nard wheel as will demonstrate its
efficiency, and, if found satisfactory. it
Will be adopted for use in the Navy.

A Mothers Soliloquy on Decoration Day
BY MRS. A. NJ.


6 On honored graves your garands lay,
Our country Is at peace you say,
g And this is Decoration Day"
We strew the flowers, bending low;
Our hearts bow down with weight OF woe
Once more the ashes are aglow.
The boy, with full, exultant heart,
Went to his death, nor felt the smart,
Fer love of country dulled the dart.
But me All, me | see again
The lurld fiames-the tying tram
The Death that stalks the CORY PLAIN.
Stern war relentless, raised the sign,
His iron heel crushed cut the wine,
And left the bruised and bleeding vlne-
J will not think that god e'er gave
The impetus to that wild wave
That swept the dear lad to his grave.
Pile high, pile high the flowers! What then
1t VIII not give INN back again,
And | am threescOre Years and ten.
The winds soon watt their fragrance by
The green leaves wither up and die
The grave still lies beneath NINE eye!
Could any wish to win renown
While our bleeding hearts lay down,
And at such cost the victor crown?
Ali, yes lis well secure from fears,
Ny country free, her flag uprears,
While ! but drown HE Ill my tears.
Can age grow strong? Can love grow cold
4 mothers wealth of love untold
Ny boy was fair, aud young, ana bold.
I'm old and lone forgive, restrain,
Oh God the heart III burning pain,
! That must, must wish him back again

ANOTHER GREAT FIRE IN BOSTON
Loss Estimated at Sl.2Jo,OOO.

Loes Al,ZJp,DoD.
Another great fire occurred In Bos-
ton on Decoration Day. When dis
covered the fire was in the upper floor
of Holey, Morse q Co.'S warehouse,
among the workshops, and flames were
issuing from the roof. Piles of light
material, packed away, were ike SO
much finder, and before an alarm could
be given great volumes of flame were
rolling up fifty feet III the air, and
clouds of smoke were rising. The
heat was intense, and in twenty min
utes the upper stories of the building,
from front to rear, 200 feet deep, were
a mass of flames.
The fire worked back into the stable
OF Geo +. Bonne, on Bumstead place,
which runs out of Boylston street, near
Washington street, and destroyed it
eventually. The walls of the immense
editice fell II, and crushed to atoms
the extensive gallery of Jourdain, with
all the stores beneath it.
On the opposite corner of Fayette
court the flames soon spread to another
great building adjacent, and that was
also destroyed. including Nos. 4O3,

cupled by kelley's billiard rooms, No.

left to show what existed there at eight

Are Advertisements Ever Read

In the course of a spicy article, an
swering this question, the Mobile Reg,
lister says: eff any man effects tc
believe that advertisements are not
read, let him advertise that he wants
to buy dog, for instance. If he is
not furnished with every variety OF
animated sausage that morning before
breakfast-and, besides, with one OF
two sound grounds for suits against
him for assault, we will break his
golden rule and-deadhead his adver.
tisement. And it is fair to infer Chat
any man who wants to sell dog, also
wishes to buy something with the pro-
ceeds OF his canine venture And so
up to the man who wishes to sell his
cargo of coffee, that he may buy cargo
OF Western produce"

The Steam Whistle Nuisance.

The Newton Journal says the project
of a restraint of the use of the steam
whistle, upon the Boston and Albany
RAILROAD, to extraordinary occasions,
making it rather the exception than the
rule, entered upon as an experiment six
months or more ago, appears to be a
decided success. Instead of a continued
scream, with scarcely an interruption,
along the densely populated line of this
road for nearly the entire twenty-four
hours, comparative peace is maintained,
OF inestimable value in many cases of
sickness and suffering, where quiet is
an important ingredient in the chance
OF recovery, And we have yet to learn
that IN single instance the public
safety has been endangered.

Four Good Habits.

There were four good habits a wise
man earnestly recommended in his
counsels, and which he considered to
be essentially necessary for the man
agement of temporal concerns; and
these are punctualty, accuracy, stead
mess, and despatch. Without the first
of these, time Is wasted without the
second, mistakes themost artful to our
own credit and interest, and that of
others may be committed; without the
third, nothing can be we'll done with
out the fourth, opportunities of great
advantage are lost, which it is impos-

A Gillian International Exhibition.

The rage for international exhibi-

that progressive state has devoted
S225, 900 for the building of an edifice
IN Valparaiso for the first industrial
fair, probably, which has ever been
proposed In South America. The time
IS set for 1875, giving ample oppor-
tunlty for the collection of the treas
ures which, in the shape of raw materl-
a. of every description, exist III pro-
fusion in that country. If there ever
was land that deserved development
as we'll as needed it, it is South Ameri.
ca, and it is to be hoped that the pro
posed exhibition will have the effect of
infuslnS new spirit into her lazy,
letharglc inhabitants.
