In the Edinburgh Review for April an
article on Robert y. Lee will be read
with deep interest. II Is q grand tribute
from an unbiased source. For its esti'
mate Of the general place that Lee is 10
hold in American history the following
sentences will suffice as we'll as vol
ume:
"The day will como when the evil pas.
sions Of the great civil strife will sleep
in oblivion, and North aud South will do
justice TO each others motives and for.
get each others wrongs Then history
will speak with clear voice Of the deeds
done on either side, and the citizens OF
the whole Union do justice to the
memory Of the dead and place above all
others the name Of the great chief OF
whom we have written. In strategy
mighty; in battle terrible; in adversely,
as in prosperity, hero indeed, with the
simple devotion to duty and the rare
purity Of the ideal Christian knight, he
Joined all the kingly qualities Of a leader
Of men. II is a wondrous future indeed
that lies before America but in her an
mails Of years 10 come, as in those OF the
past, there will be found few names that
can rival in unsullied lustrs that Of the
heroic defender Of his native Virginia,
Robert Edward Lee"

The sm.IIe.t Engine In the world

Mr.. d. A. A. Buck, jeweler, of Wor
cester, has built the smallest engine in
the world. 1t is made Of gold and silver
and fastened together with screws, the
largest Of which is one-eightieth of an
inch in size. The engine, boiler, gever'
nor, and pumps stand in space seven
sixteenths of an inch high. Perhaps a
better idea Of its smallness will be con-
veyed by saying that the whole affair
may be completely covered with 4 com
mon tailor's thimble. The engine alone
weighs but fifteen grains, and yet every
part is complete, as may be seen by a
microscopic examination; and it may be
set in motion by filling the boiler with
water and applying heat, being supplied
with all valves, ETC., to be found upon an
ordinary upright engine. To attempt
an estimate Of its power would seem like
rather small business, but for a guess, a
span of well-fsd heas would furnish
more force if they were properly har-
messed aud shod. The little thing would
tug away several minutes il encouraged
BY a drop of water heated by the appli-
cation of burnt finger.
