The Rev. DR.. Stone On TIE Nevs,.

-
In . recent sermon the Rev. Dr..
Stone, Of California, il reported to have
said: "The newspaper is more feared
to-day in Congressional halls and the
high places of corruption and villainy
than laws and courtx, the stings of con-
science and the thunders Of divine
wrath. God is . great way of, and the
Judgment waits; but the ubiquitous re-
porter thrusts his sharp gaze into all
covert and hidden schemes, an unerrinR
detective. The pestilent spy will tell
all he sess-tell it on the housetops,
print it for . nation Of readers. Good !
Give N more Of this Long live the
reporter! Let every public man Who
Facilitates . little piece Of gainful fraud.
understand that he IL 'shadowed' af
each step BY this unbought espionage,
and though he may not be converted, he
viii be restrained"

Oatmeal.

Americans are gradually waking up 70
the fact that oatmeal is by mo means an
unimportant article of diet. Az q food,
the merits of which have stood the test
Of centuries, and which is calculated to
promote the sanitary interests Of the
nation by laying the foundation for
more hardy and vigorous constitutions
for the coming generation. let us regard
its general adoption As an article of diet
as nothing short Of q national good. Its
phosphorescent qualities act as a gentle
and healthy stimulant to the brain, and
on no other food can one endure SO great
or 80 prolonged mental labor a. on oat-
meal rorridge. Properly cooked, it is
not only q most healthful and nutritious
food, but it is decidedly palatable, rs is
fully attested by its wonderfully rapid
adoption as a popular diet by the very
~fastidious palates of our American
people.

MI. e. q. Blathervick, Of Chicago.
hes recently patented . device for .
street railway, dependent upon gravity
for the motive power. After four years
of trial and study, he has obtained .
result which promises to be completely
-successfaL. The railway itself consists
Of Q series Of inclined tracts, elevated
upon . framework of heavy pillars and
trestles, upon which the wheels Which
carry the car travel. The central posts
are heavy timbers, twelve inches
square, into which are set the cross
joists which support the double tracks
on each side. The inner track is Get one
foot from the post, and the outer is
eighteen inches from the inner. The
tracks are set on beds, two by fourteen
inches, and are brsced to the trestle-
work and to each other. The cars do
not run on the tracks, but o set of four
wheels with grooved edges travel ON the
half-round rails, and the car is sus-
pended from the axles q these wheels
by wire rope. On starting at the high
est point of the first sectioc of track,
the car is hung about one foot clear of
the ground, and, as the sections are one
mile long or more, and the grade is
about twenty-five feet to the mile, it is
evident that the car would strike the
ground within o very short distance. To
obviate this, q large wheel, 5 feet in
diameter, is placed at the front end of
the car. on the side. This wheel is
turned by spokes, like a ships wheel,
and the bold pilot of the car occupies q
little platform where he can keep q look
out for passengers and work the ma
chine. As the wheels descend the in
cline, the operator winds up the car
q distance corresponding to the vertical
fall, by means Of his large wheel, and a
series Of pinion- wheels which turn the
shaft to which the supporting rope is at
tached. The car is thus kept constant
" at the same distance from the ground
at which it started, and the eIertion
necessary is not great, owing to the
ightness of the car and the leverage OBJ
tanned by the gearing. The trucks are
arranged with opposite inclination on
opposite sides of the posts, so chat the
cars travel in opposite directions on each
side.
As above stated, the average length
of the inclined sections is one mile, but
the road can be extended indefinitely by
a simple continuance. On reaching the
lowest point, the wheels run upon q
piece of track which slides vertically in
grOoveways to the height of the origi-
nal starting-pOint. The trestle-work
here is again high up, the wheels start
on their descent once more, and the
journey continues.

The DEADLY ~Sewine.Machine.

The London Lancet says: "SOme few
years ago one of the London hospital
physicians called attention to the fact
which had come under his notice repeat
eddy among the out-patients under his
care, that the use of the sewing-machine
was injurious to the health of those who
habitually employed it for many hours
together. The patients suffered from
nervous debility and other symptoms
referable to its employment, and admit
ted that the constant exertion which
necessarily occurred in using heavy
double-actioned machines had an excit-
ing and exhausting effect upon them.
These statements we're somewhat strong
ly denied at the time, but we think the
almost universal adoption of hand
worked machines in family life since
that date shows that there was q pretty
general feeling among the profession,
and probably the public, too, that the
exercise required for young ladies in
order to work The treadle-machine was
not calculated to improve their health.
Facts which have recently come to our
knowledge show hat the evil was no
imaginary one, and that many workers
at the sewing-machine, or machines of q
similar character, do suffer very mate
rally in their health. One of the
heaviest forms of machines is, we be-
lieve. that employed in 'braiding,' and
young women working in this depart.
ment have suffered very materially, and
have been compelled to discontinue the
employment. But the distress is not
confined to one class of employees ; it
seems to affect pretty generally all those
who use the feet alternately as the mo-
tive power of their machinery. If the
workers themselves, or their Immediate
supervisors, were to speak out, there
would, we believe, be abundant evidence
found that machining is a most ex
haustive employment, and one which
gradually breaks down the health

An Ex.Dictator of San Domineo.

Ex-President Baez, who arrived in
New York from San Domingo recently,
is described as being affable and intelli-
gent looking. He is small in stature,
with twinkling black eyes, and a nervous
manner that seems at variance with his
bushy, iron-gray, Anglo-Saxon, mutton

words qG English. When asked how
soon he would visit Washington, he
drew his head hard to the left aide. and

Speaking of the existing government

might settle. DOM into cniAas2sM-AH-
