AUXILIARY To STEAM POWER.
| notice that in all the best mills
here, and in fact nearly all the en-
gines in use, have Kendalls pat
ent automatic steam cutoff and
governor attached. This arrange
ment is very highly spoken OF by
the mill men, and the engineers
are particularly delighted with 1t,
because it develops to the very full
est extent the power Of the steam,
and relieves them of considerable
of their work in firing. In the
operation Of the cutoff no steam
is lost, as il opens full boiler pres
sure as the crank passes each centre,
and is closed by the governor at
what ever point Of stroke the mo-
ton and resistance requires, and
the sensitive operation of the COVE
nor will give the extreme power OF
"A full stroke engine or cutoff to its
best economy. 1t is particularly
commended for governing the
circular saws, or direct attachment
gang saws where the motion Is up
to $50 revolutions per minnts. 1t
is also provided with a stop motion
to prevent the engine from taking
steam in case the governor belt /
breaks or runs off, which prevents
the engine from running away.
Those who are using them tell Inc
they would not attempt to run a
mill again without this valuable
auxiliary to their power.

be in regard thereto, that measur,

the latter body that its author vii
not recognize it. 1t has had a sin
gular and interesting career thus
far, this finance bill. introduced
by a leading opponent of initiation,
it had somewhat of the aspect of a
compromise, and leaned quite as
strongly in the direction of expan-
sion as bill might dare to do and
hope to run the gauntlet of the
Presidential veto. Its Object was
quite as much to bring about a
state Of harmony between the con-
fiicting elements of Republican
party as to furnish q financial pol
icy; but in regard to both objects
it was conspicuous failure. No
thing but the desire for harmony
wonld have secured for Il. as first

even the desire for party harmony

reported it abandoned it, and the

AS the bill left the Senate il is a.

for specie resumption, but it pro-
vides first for a very considerable

makes little difference, however,
