"Ive got PAIN inside!

Last night, about eleven"

How many apples have you had?"
She answered, SONY sevenv'

But they were in a pie''

'Ot course you've had eleven"
The maiden answered with pout,

WONDERED hugely what she meant,
And said, "Im bad at riddles,

duplicate of every other OF that size, and case

The inventor OF this Engine had in view, in its
cons rrctiou the great need that exists tor perfect
Steam Engine-of small power-adar ted to all kinds
Of light mechanical work and that should also COM
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure perfectly philo-
sophcal Boiler and Furnace in order to insure the
most perfect combustion, and to take upthe greatest
possible amount OF heat IN generating steam.
The second point was, to make a perfect cutoff
Engine working steam eXpansiyey, and keeping u

radiation or condensation
The third point was. TO combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma

lake up lost motion, that ii may be used for
numoer of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars as much care has been taken in

France sill continues to be in state
OF political turmoil, and at present there
appears to be no way out of it. Only one thing
is certain, viz, MacMahon is at the head of a
government call it what you may, and has
indicated to the Assembly that he proposes to
continue at the head of it for the seven years
which the Assembly allotted to him, to say the
least. He is backed by the army, too, SO that
the party that thinks of his overthrow had
better consider the task. During the week
President MacMahon has sent an address to
'he Assembly. In that message he makes the
above fact certain, and tells the Assembly that
the success of the country depends upon their
action. The BOurbons are the most incensed at
the policy of MacMahon, for they have had an
idea that he was keeping the place warm until
Chambord could safely be proclaimed king.
Inc ministry of MacMahon has been defeated
several times IN the Assembly, but this fact has
not LED to Its resignation. Strange combna-
lions are made i'll that body, but on the whole
the Republicans are gaining strength. An at
tempt to dissolve the Assembly, Republican
measure-may succeed at any time. A con
spiracy of the Bonapartists has been discovered
ana quite number of leaders are impli-
Gated.

The Next Presidency.

The political pot begins to simmer gently
although the next Presidential election Is 30 far
ahead; and here are some Of the speculations
ventilated by one of the political seers who
makes Washington his headquarters:
The scheme OF imitation and the Presidents
veto have made a sectional division which
threatens to be irreparsble, but meantime the
Presidents action in the Baxter matter has
subdivided the two sections Of inhationists,
drawing away the South, and rendering il pretty
certain that II renominated he would, between
his patronage and the conservative support,
carry every state formerly in rebellion, New
York IS well, with the cooperation of Governor
Dix, New England and Ohio, aud with Senator
Chambers cooperation Michigan, and the
Pacific coast.
1t is the opinion OF = sagacious public man
that the next republican convention will be
controlled by the infAtionists, who will hold the
organization minus the patronage aud the ap-
prehensions OF the country,-thst the contrac-
tionists will bolt platform advocating cheaper
or more money, that the President will then be
nominated by the boiling element and go for
ward, with steady sccessions as the campaign
proceeds, fanking both the regulars and the
democrats.
