4 Steam Cars Z in 1Citi e, .

No great, improvement has ever
been made save in the teeth of des-
perate and long continued opposition.
The telegraph, the railroad, every adj
vance, indeed, was fought step by step.
just now. the subject Of some other
motive power than horses for city
railroads is much discussed. That
bother power can oily be steaiii, but at
the idea off steam in our ocrowde
thoroughfares3 we raise our hands in
horror, and see in imagination all the
frightful results, which, to our minds,
would certainly ensue. But it ap-
pears that steam can be, indeed, used
il, ,safety.aftFeg nearly three months.
there has been in active use on The
New Orleans and Carrolton street
railway, between Carrollton and Ma
polean avenue, a steam car, the sue
cessful practicabiHty of which has
zap parently been demonstrated by
slengthened test. A description of this
city steam car wifi be apropos: On
a four wheeled truck, about half the
length of a passenger car, is erected a
boiler, a tank, and a double cylinder
engine of five inches in diameter and
seven inches stroke. The tank is filled
with about three Hundred gallons OF
water. This water is heated at the
depot at the beginning Of each trip, by
being connected four minutes, in a
stationary steam boiler. {. In this man
ner enough heats forced into the wa
teriof the tank to enable the car ito
travel nine miles and have surplus
of power left at the end of the trip.
The truck contaiDing the motive pow
er is attached to the ordinary passen-
ger car. and bv means of a simple
ralve, conveniently placed to the one
man who performs the duty of engin-
eer, collector and brakesman, the
speed of the car Is regulated, or the
vehicle stopped or started as easily
and promptly as the same work could
be accomplished by horse power If
necessary, speed of twenty or thirty
miles an hour may be obtained. There
is DO escape of steam, nor any noise
beyond that ordinarily caused In run
Ding passenger car. 1t is claimed
further. that this is actually cheaper
than horse car for the companies.

A Curious Proph yiaetfc Against
99I 2f3 /" SMALLPOX.

-. ~ VA
At a. recent meetingiof The Alabama
State Medical Society, DIR. q. d. Nor.
rls. of Huntsville, stated that during
visitation of the smallpox at Hunts
vile, a, number of families used tea
made of the cianicifuga rdcemosa, and
that in no instance did any OF these
persons take the smallpox. DIR. Nor
.ris was unable to learn at whose in-
stance, this device, was adopted. He
stated, further, that during the time
these fainilies used the Tea, he at
tempted TO vaccinate a number of the
members of the families, and in every
instance, he failed, but that after the
tea was discontinued, he succeeded
with vaccination in the cases where he
had failed while they were under the
influence of the tea. ri
> This cinicifagd rdeeDloSa is known
as the black snake-root, or cohosh. 1t
should be used in moderation, be-
cause large doses produce impaired
vision, vertigo, nausea and vomiting.
Its medicinal qualities are highly es-
teemed by many eminentsmembers OF
the medical profession. In the Trans
actions of the American Medical AS
soeiation, vol. l, 352, Dir. f. N. John
SON reported extraordinary success
with it in acute rheumatism. In cho-
rea, disease often allied with rheu-
matism, the medicine has been very
successfully used.
One ounce of the root may be boiled
for a short timeiD one pint of water.
and from half a pint to pint may be
used in twenty -four hours. The fluid
extract is probably superior. to any
other preparatioha a4This should be
made by some able pharmaceutist.
The dose of the fluid extract is about
q teaspoonful three or tour times u
day.
2 The facts stated by Dra Norris go
to confirm the truth of Jenner's dis
covery that vaccination is smallpox.
Another curious fact is worth Iemem-
bering in this connection. The ctmt-
cifMgd facemoSa is called the black
snake-root, and is supposed TO have
received that name from itsssupposed
efficacy in curing the bite of the rat
tle-snake. Here is another curious
Professor Henry, OF
Manchester, England, discovered that

heit's scale entirely destroys the poi
sonsof smallpox, of the rattle-snake,

portant truth should be prophylactic
against the senseless destruction of

Yesterday, a Government wagon arrived
from Fort Klamath to take the Indians to the
reservation; and observing this, and knowing
that further delay was impossible, "JIm" and
MS warriors left for Captain Jacks camp.
Before going, however, the gentle Shack made
some few domestic preparations. First, he
packed up his wifes ci0thes and saddled her
pony; and then he dressed the papOoses in
their very best, and having done this, he
murdered his mother. The good old lady has
been suffering for some time with neuTalgic

Indian doctors had labored long and faith
fully to cure her, but all in vain. She was
quite old, being seventy years, more OF less,

had well.nlgh Outlived her usefulness. She
could not ride, and Jim was too good son to
leave her behind TO the tender merces of the
white savages.
There was only one thing TO do, and that
was 70 murder her with his own trusty hunting
knife; therefore Jim ended the old lady's suf-
feTings, and strappipg her body across the

and all will so lovely. Notwithstanding Jim
refused to leaye his mother behind, ho did
