THE FARMER CANDIDATE or NEW
HAMPSHIRE.

HAMPSHIRE.
reporter Of the Boston Globe recently
made visit to Mr.. IMcCutchins, the farmer
candidate of the republicans Of New Hamp-
shire. From the account Of his interview we
copy the following
twas plain, Cd wooden structure, with
the front yard at the side, forming an open
passage from the street right by the house to
the barn door. The side door was open, and
the stalwart figure of the farmer could be
seen inside pulling hay from the NOW and
feeding the cattle. passed in and introduced
myself. The man before me was at least six
feet two inches in height, with broad should
crs and the slight stoop which tall men who
work with their hands always have. He had
on coarse dark pants, a darker and ccarser
vest, buttoning up to his still darker neck
CLOTH and rough cloth cap, but no coat. His
face is rough and weather. beaten, but strong
and sturdy. 1t is thoroughly Scotch, broad
and heavy, with square shut of the mouth
and full shaggy brows over the eyes. The
latter features are characterized by sensibillty
and frankness, rather than especial caimness
and strength. He greeted me very cordially,
and took me into the house, through the back
room and kitchen, to his sitting room. After
introducing me to his wife, quiet, trim, old
ish lady in black, who was knitting very
long stocking by the window, he went out to
put on his coat and take off his cap, and ex-
amined the room. Almost its exact counter
part may be found in farm-houses all over
New England. The ceiling was low, and neat
ly whitewashed, the walls covered with the
plainest of paper. the floor with honely rag
mating. The old chimney-place was bricked
up; a soap-stone stove stood before it. On
the walls were two or three common prints,
one of them colored; over the small windows
were white shades; in one corner an old
fashioned escretore contained few books Of
no distinctive character, and by one Of the
windows was quite little conservatory OF
plants, one of them an ivy that trailed part
way round the room.

The letter was sent, and in the course of the
forenoon the letter carrier of the inn returned
from Formi@. Crispina brought him to Paulus,
who was in an avenue of tho garden watching
some players as they contested @ game of
quoits or discus. This avenue connected the
garden proper with the open country west
ward, terminating in o cross hedge of myrtle

thanked the man who then withdrew.

Mechanical Sensation.

A Philadelphian named Kelley has
invented Il machine which he is now
constructing, by which he claims
that water can be applied as Il motive
power far more efficiently than steam.
The inventor asserts that with only
two gallons of water he would be
able to draw Il train OF cars from
Philadelphia to San Francisco and
back again. The water, it is stated
by friend of Mr.. Kelley, would be
used over and over, something as
steam is utilized in condensing en-
CINE. Incredible as this claim is, the
inventor further declares that he OBJ
tains this vast power without the use
of fuel, without the use of chemi-
Gals of any kind, and without the use
of electricity or magnetic currents.
A conclusion naturally arrived at
when it is stated that no fuel is used
is, that the power is obtained by the
decomposition of the water and the
rapid disengagement of hydrogen or
oxygen, or both of these gases. The
assertion that no chemicals or cleo
trical currents are used is supposed
to be made to overthrow this infer
enee. The use of force derived from
the evolution of gases is no new idea,
and the only reason that it has not
been employed is the fact that the
consumption of the necessary chemi-
cal substances has been found to be
more costly than the consumption OF
coal in generating an equal amount
of force by means of steam.
On Tuesday, the 10th instant, there
was test of the apparatus in its un-
finished state. This was made in the
presence of ten gentlemen, among
them three experts. These experts
were necessarily among the friends OF
the inventor. 1t would not do before
patents were obtained to allow skill
full mechanics, who might successful
ly guess the source of power and af-
terward use it for their own advan-
tage, to be present. All who were
present are very reticent as to what
took place, but all claim to be per
fectly well assured by what they saw
OF the success of the discovery
Careful inquiry made in various
quarters ELECTED certain interesting
information that may be relied on a.
far as it goes. 1t is claimed that ne
one knows the principle upon whiel
the machine has been constructed
except Mr.. Keeley. 1t was placed h

Senatorial Boxers.

A good story is told of Conkling
and Chandler not down in the regular
Congressional proceedings. Chand-
fer's great hobby is his skill as a pu-
gilist, and Conkling is great boxer,
and has private gymnasium in his
residence ut Washington, where, after
dinner, he invites his friends for Il
friendly bout with the gloves. For
some time it was an open dispute be-
tween Chandler and COnkling which
was the better boxer of the two, and
it was finally settled in an after ain
ner tusSlc, when Chandler received a
blow in the eyes that set him down
so hard that tears flowed from his
eyes. Shortly after this Chandler re-
ceived another invitation To spread
his legs under Conkling's social ma
hogany, and took along with him Il
friend, whom he introduced to the
company as MIR. Howard, of Michi
gan" Conkling was in great glec
during his dinner, and told over and
over the story Of Chambers discom-
future, and at the conclusion of the
feast, the company were invited out to
the gymnasium, as usual. Conkling
invited Chandler to don the gloves
again, but the latter declined. saying
that perhaps his friend, Mr.. How
ard might like to try them. COnk-
ling was agreeable to this, and in a
moment the frisky CJakling was for
proceeding at once to knock his OPP
pOnent down, but suddenly the affair
terminated by Mr.. Howarti's" land
ing thunderbolt Of fist between
Conkling's eyes. The Senator went
over like great tree, and rolled into
the corner of the room, where he lay
for moment stunned by its cOncus-
sion. Judge of Conkling's feelings
next day when he learned that Chand
ler had played practical joke upon
him by giving Mr. Howard 800 to
come up and bounce COnkling, and
that "Mr. Howard, of Michigan"
was none other than the famous pu
gilist, Jem Mace.

GAIIIPoIIs, THURSDAY, II,

Il shed in the yard, the entrance to
which was by u door strongly made
and securely locked. Its shape is
not revealed, but it was capable of
holding about fourteen gallons of
water. Reports in Philadelphia rep
resent it to be spherical in its general
contour. The Inventor, in order to
show that there were no chemicals in
the water to be used, and that none
had been enclosed in the machine,
drew water from a hydrant near by,
from which he himself first and af-
terward all the others drank freely.
Some of this hydrant water was put
into the machine and shaken up. 1t
was then allowed to drain out through
a ecsk at the bottom, where glasses
were again filled and all again drank.
The water had not been changed in
taste BY its passage through the com
partments of the apparatus. Then
Mr.. Keeley poured in quantity of
water from the hydrant and closed
up the opening. "InstantaneOusly,"
to use the words of those present,
there was developed pressure of
1000 pounds" This pressure was
measured by safety-valve appara
tus with a proper leverage. OF
course no steam gauge, as at present
constructed, could be made to record
such pressure. This was the test
that was made. The enormous pres
sureis to be utilized by means of an
engine with cylinder and piston, in
all essential respects like steamAen-
gine. Some months ago, it is said,
a small ;tive-inch stroke engine was
connce1sd with the power generating
apparatus, and was operated with
such extreme rapidity, that though
it was stoutly bolted to strong
wooden bench, it shook itself loose.
Mr.. Keeley says the power genera
ted issipexhausible, and will be sup
piled as fast as it can be used in a
cylinder The fact that it has been
made to operate steamengine
makes il certain, of course, that the
expansive force is due either to va
por or gas. -.

[Br REQUEST. /
Anticipate the Week of Prayer.

Antic1pittc the week Oh Erayef.
To gain the full benefit of the week
of PRAYER, we must anticipate it. If
it come and find us unprepared in
spirit, its close will be upon us By the
time that we are really ready to re-
ceive its blessings. Let us then ask
what we can do in advance to make
it in the highest degree profitable.
We offer some suggestions:
l. Hare Il upon gour heart.
Take pains To impress upon your
sell the fact ofits coming and the de-
sirableness of its fruits being reaped.
1t would be sad indeed to have this
heaven-favored season pass, and YOU
and yours receive no blessing.
;. CeitiUGte .ftjth iN prayer as
means of drawing down spiritual
gifts from above. Look up in your
Bible the promises, and examine the
instances of answers TO prayer.
Convince yourself that the King of
kings is of truth prayer-hearing
God. Let it become Il reality to YOU
"a great and near fact.
). Pray. for a special blessing to
come, not only upon the church at
large, but upon your own soul and
the community in the midst of which
you live. Pray thus in your closet,
in your family, and in the meetings
of the church.
1. See that attention is directed
to the subject, so as to enlist Chris
tians i'll the earnest observance of the
season. Speak to your pastor and
the elders of the church abont it.
Let reference be made to it in the
Sabbath services, so that the less
earnest part of the church may be
informed and aroused. Especially
let Christians, the professed follow
ers OF the Master, be exhOrted to see
that the week is kept clear of even
ing engagements that would interfere
with attendance upon the meetings.
.. Attrdct the young TO the ser
vices through the Sabbath School
and otherwise. Let them under
stand that they will be expected at
the meetings, and that they should
no evening parties for that
week. Make it clear that it is not an
'old peoples affair.
q. Adopt q good programme of .
topics for each day of the week.
Courses Of subjects for prayer are
published in the religious papers, but
they need modification to adapt
them to the wants of the local con-
gregation. Let the session make a
study of this, and prepare a pro
gramme that shall be as good as pos
Irible for the church.

The jovial captain of one of the
