accidentally swallowed large quantity. Owing to
THIS circumstance he was led to make MANY experi-

That 1t had very peculiar effect the Nervous Sys-

all kinds with certainty and rapidity of which he
had no previous conception

In short it Is the SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most
DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in
the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above
particulars. COLTS ARMS co. have spared no
expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA
CHIMES with which to build these Engines, SO that
every part IS made up to gauge, and perfectly in
Interchangeable, the Importance of which will be I'M
cry. Thus, every Engine of given size is exact
duplicate of every other of that size and case
OF breakage the broken part be Immediately re-
placed by its perfect duplicate.
The inventor of this Engine had in view in its
construction, the great need that exists for perfect
Steam Engne-of small power-adapted to ali kinds
OF light mechanical work. and that should also COM
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure a perfectly pho-
sophical Boiler and Furnace in order to insure the
most perfect combustion and to take up the greatest
possible amount of heat in generating steam.
The second point was, to make perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expansiyely and keeping up
the temperature of the cylinder to Prevent loss by
radiation or condensation.
The third point was, to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
ca,ne; all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost motion, that it may be used for any
number of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars as much has been taken as in
the largest and most perfect engine constructed
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER
PROP0RTIONED TC THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON-
sUMED-thus proving the fact-weI known to men
of science-hat scder is the best medium to trans
mat the mechanical forces, generated in the COM

No, winds of Australia.

A correspondent of TIE Alta Califor-
MIA gives a graphic account OF the hot
winds of Australia. 1t makes one gasp
for breath to read it. He says: " The
colonists of Victoria and New South
Wales boast of the great beauty Of their
climate. A description OF the hot winds,
which are SO boisterously prevalent
there during short periods of the sum-
mer months, and which are very extra
ordinary in their character and effects,
will help to show how far the boast IS
justified. A misty smoke darkens the
atmosphere, which feels so oppressively
hot as to render breathing at once labor
ious and painful The sun shines with
a lnrid glare far hotter than when IN
open brilliancy, and presenting to the
eye the appearance of full moon be.
hind Aeecy cloud Dogs crawl along
with their parched tongues dangling
almost to the ground, and horses move
on with dropping heads and convulsive
gasps. All kinds of vegetation first
hang their tendrils, then shrivel up, and
finally yield to premature decay. And
as the burning slrroeeo increases apace,
and thick clouds of dust dessicate the
air, animal and vegetable life would
seem to be threatened with total destruc-
ton. Cattle of every description often
succumb to incalescent exhaustion aud
die by the roadside; fields of grain,
which in the morning were fresh and
green, become, before evening, yellow
as with the ripeness of maturity, but in
reality, stunted and singed by the 6ery
influences prevailing; trees yielding
their sap to the slakeless temperature
rapidly incinerate and cast off their but
recently luscious fruit, and flowers pass
through all the gradations of growth and
INSTRUMENTATION into bud, open into
bloom, and drop their leaves in the caul-
dron around, in less than a day. All
nature, in fact, would appear for the
time to be trying experiments in Their
mology, totally Indifferent about health
and life. The igneous elements, SO
wildly careering, suggest nothing but
encircling volcanoes pouring forth and
scattering around their burning lava,
reduced to scintillant powder.
"ItIsa scourge Of the most destrue-
tive character. Outdoor business life is
virtually suspended, and the few people
moving about are every moment en-
ployed in wiping of the profuse dusty
perspiration that streams down their
faces. Cafes and hotels swarm like
beehives with languid, thirsty men; and

In door life is alone endurable, and
rooms so carefully deprived of air and

lives lost. Fortunately they do not last
more than two or three days at a time,
otherwise life and property would be so
insecure as to render living an invest
ment in the Colonies undesirable in the
extreme"

Commercial Honor.

We give place to the following actual
occurrence, suppressing only the names
Of the parties thereto, as an illustration
of commercial honor in the highest
sense. The expression, his word is as
good as his bond" that falls so freely
from the lips of merchants of all classes,
was in this instance not less true than
trite:
About five years ago broker offered
to gentleman who did business with
him, note on firm in this city at par.
The gentleman refused to take it at that
price, but offered seventy five cents on
the dollar for it. At the same time this
was refused by the broker, but some days
afterwards the gentleman found the note
had been placed among his private pa
pers, and, upon inquiry was told that
it had been charged to him at seventy
FIVE cents. Some facts with reference to
the solvency of the maker of the note
having come to him since his first offer,
he refused to take the note at that price,
whereupon it was agreed that If
he would take it and the maker
of the note should fail to pay as much
as seventy five cents on the dollar, then
the broker should make the payment up
to that rate, provided that if the maker
paid more than seventy five cents, then
all above that rate should be returned to
the broker. In a snort time the maker
of the note failed, and in settling with
his creditors paid only fifty eight cents
on the dollar. Nothing was said about
the note at the time, but few days ago,
in overhauling his papers, the gentle
man came across it, and recalling the
terms of the agreement, presented 1T to
the broker, who, though he had forgot
ten all about the transaction, said if such
were the facts he was ready to abide by
the terms of his agreement, though there
was no written contract to hold him, as
" my word is as good as my bond.
Thereupon he drew a check for the dit
ference Mem York Bulletin.

Fred Graat's:Future.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Charles Algernon Frederick Sar-
toris' best man" Lieutenant Colonel
Frederick Dent Grant, U. S. A is con-
templating matrimony. In fact, he has
contemplations to an extent that he has
made the proposition to a beautiful
young damsel of Chicago, and is in all
probability preparing plans and speci.
fications for bridal outfit that will
fairly eclipse his British brother-in-law.
To accomplish his hymeneal predilec-
tions Lieutenant Colonel Fred Grant
has come to Chicago and found in the
person Of Miss Ida Honore. daughter of
Of H. H. Honore, Esq, the one to
whom he desires to join his fortunes in
peace and war, for better for worse.
The gossips, who know all about these
matters, say that the young lady recip
rocates the preferment shown her by Mr..
Grant, and further states that the affair
has so far developed as to set apart the
day for the happy event, which will De
in the charming month of October.
Miss Honore is a sister OF Mrs. Potter
Palmer, who was one of the chosen
guests at Miss Nellie Grants wedding,
and is, furthermore, one of the leading
young ladies of Chicago society. AS to
where the nuptials will be performed mas
not yet transpired, but of course Chicago
will be the point, and it is safe to predict
that it will be the most sumptuous affair
he city ever witnessed. Society people
will be on the qui vive for particulars,
and as soon as the cards are scattered
there will be some extraordinary prepar-
atoms on foot.

Many who are suffering from the effects of
the warm weather and are debilitatsd, are sd-
vised by physicians to take moderate amounts
of whisky two or three times day. In lit

quently increase the number Of i" drinks"
and in time become confirmed inebriates. A
beverage which will not create thirst for intox-
ioating liquors, and which is intended especi-
ally for the benefit of debilitated persons,
whether at home OF abroad. is DR.. Schenck's s
Sea Weed Tonic. Containing the juices of
many medicinal herbs. this preparation does
not create an appetite for the intoxicating
cup. The nourishing and the life supporting
properties of many valuable natural produc-
tions contained in it and well known to medi-
cal men have a most strengthening influence.
A single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate
its valuable qualities. For debility arising
from sickness. over exertion or from any cause

and create an appetite for wholesome food.
