Prizes Offered for Railroad Inventions

An excellent movement has been
made by the 6 Union Of German Rail
road Administrations, in offering valu-
able prizes for the invention of con-
trlvance by means Of which the coupling
of railway cars can be effected without
the necessity Of stepping between the
cars. The invention submitted for
competition must have been tried prac-
tically on one of the railroads belonging
to the Union, previous to the sending
IN of papers, and the proposition for
the award of the prizes must emanate
from and be supported by one of the
said railroads. The papers must also so
explain the invention by illustrations,
drawings, models, etc., that an opinion
can be easily formed of it's quality,
practicability, and working, ana must
be sent in to the head Of the Admins
tration, at Berlin, before the 1st of Ju-
ly, 1874. The examination of the plans,
as well as the decision, whether general
OF in the form of an award of prizes,
will be undertaken by committee of
twelve members, appointed by the
confederation. The premium does not
debar the inventor from patenting the
device and enjoying the benefit of the
patent.

THE NUMBER OF TYPE IN A NEwsPA-
PER,


The Poughkeepsie Eagle. in an arti-
Gle on chow mistakes happen in news
papers," figures up the number of
types used in newspaper the size of
the EdgIc at 600,000 i. e., the actual
number of bits of metal arranged and
re-arranged every day in preparing a
newspaper of that size for the press.
We suppose few people think OF the
printing trade as one of the most exact
and particular of all the handicrafts,
but it is. In making type, variations
that might be allowed in the finest
machinery would render the type use
less. 1t is very rarely that type furp-
iahed by two separate foundries can
be used together without a great deal
of trouble, though they try to make it
after the same standard. We read
once in while of wonderful piece
of cabinet work or mosaic work, con-
tanning ten, twenty, or fifty thousand
pieces, the maker of which has spent
months, or even years of labor in pro-
ducing it, and people go to see is as a
great curiosity, but the most elaborate
and carefully fitted piece of work of
this kind ever made does not compare
with that which the printer does every
day, for miuuteness of detail and ac-
curacy of fitting. The man who does
the first is looked upon as an artist-a
marvel of skill, and if hundred OF
his pieces are put in wrong side up or
turned the wrong way, it is not observ-
ed in the general effect-but if the
printer, in fitting ten times as many
pieces together in single day, put one
where another should be, or turns Que
the wrong way, every body sees it, aud
is amazed at 'the stupid carelessness
of those printers"

Friday evening a woman about
thirty years old was arrested in the
Western districh tor disturbing the
peace, and the event almost distracted
her, although she had seen the inside
of a cell before. She began bowling
and weeping as soon as she was locked
up, aud Bijah, the janitor Of tine Ninth
ayenne station, felt his heart getting
tender. He offered her harvest ap-
ple, hut ahe merely stopped long
enough to see what it was, and then
went on crying out:
81 am dying, l know ami"
He besought her to live for the sake
of her husband, who is away on the
lakes, but she said she would be cold
in death before morning If not set at
liberty. He showed her the almanac
and tried to induce her to peruse it
and settle her mind, but she tried to
pull his hair through the bars and
raised her voice untilit could be heard
two blocks away. He began reading
the almanac out loud. but she drown
ed his voice and he had to give it up.
Then he went out and bought some
peppermint drops and handed 10 her,
saying that it was burning shame to
arrest lady like her for merely hit
ting another woman on the ear with 3
shovel. She was quiet for few mine
utes aud then broke out again, and the
roof of the station seemed to be rais-
ing up. Bijah offered her a pound of
gumdrops, a new bonnet, a black silk
dress. house and lot and $4,000 in
bonds if she would only quit, but she
danced up and down and yelled
"Lemlne eout or shall di-ah !"
lie locked all the doors and sat
down on the front steps to let her ex-
haust herself, but, after an hour and
ten minutes, there being no cessation,
he ran in with an AK on his shoulder
and threatened to cut her head right
off if she didn't stop,
Il won't L won'Il | won't" she
shouted, dancing up and down, and
taking fresh start. He drummed on
the coal scuttle with the ak to drown
her voice, but the voice drowned the
coal scuttle. lie put the hose on the
penstock and threatened to drown her,
but she shut her eyes aud pitched her
voice on new key. The old man was
in despair. The men up stairs couldn't
sleep, and people out doors thought
that panther had been Gagged. AS the
officer rubbed his bald head and look
ed around, his eye lighted ON an old
paper, and a smile extended from ear
to ear. lie carried it in, turned up
the gas, and shouted;
"Have you read the Beecher scandal
yet ?"
ts'Read what! |" she exclaimed, sud-
denly ceasing TO scream.
"The Beechsr- -Tilton NATTER" he
continued-''this ERE thing what ev-
cry body is talking about ?"
"No-where is il ?" she asked, and
he passed in the paper, telling her that
if she would be good he'd hunt up the
rest of the statement In another paper;
and from that moment until daylight
the woman never uttered word, ex.
cept once when she asked if there
weren't seven or eight moro papers
with statements in.

A novel dining table is now in use
in one of the palaces of the Emperor
of Russia. The table is circular, and
is placed on weighted platform. At
the touch of signal, like rub OF
Aladdin's lamp, down goes the table
through the floor, and q new table,
loaded with fresh dishes and supplies,
rises in its place. But this is not all;
each plate stands upon weighted
disc, the tablecloth being cut with cir
cular openings, one for each plate, If
a guest desires change of plate, he
touches a signal at his side, when,
presto, his plate disappears and an-
other rises. These mechanical dining
tables render the presence of servants
quite superfluous, In this. country, at
the Oneida Community, they employ
dining tables having tie central part
made to revolve. Here the goblets,
spoons, tea and coffee, casters, pitch
efs and other necessary articles of ta-
bic furniture are placed revolving

fore him whatever article may be de-
sired without the Intervention of q

The Temperance Republicans of
New York, through their State Cen
trail Committee, have issued an adj
dress against the denomination of
Governor Dix because he vetoed the
Local Option Law, so called, by which
the sale of liquor could be prohibited
or licensed as amaiority in each town
ship or city might desire. Ifnomina-
ted they predict his defeat, the election
of Democratic Legislator and a
United States Senator. If Dix is not
renominated the Germans and other
social Liberal Republicans will vote
the Democratic ticket. Thus a split
aud defeat of the party appears to be
inevitable; 1t is worthy of notice
that the Temperance people of New
York are Numerically opposed to

A WARNING FROM ONE BEYOND THE
so GRAVE.
From the Banner of Light

From the Banner of Light
About three miles southeast of the
city of Schenectady, the highway is
intersected by the New York Central
Railroad. At this point an aged
couple, Mr.. and Mrs. W., well known
to all the citizens, returning home
from an evening drive, were struck
and instantly Killed by the train due
in Schenectady at D. m. This aeci-
dent occurred at ten minutes before
p. M.
AT ten minutes past five a lady in
The city, Mrs. c., of highly nervous
organization, and intimately acquaint-
ed with the unfortunate couple, an
sWered a ring at the front door of her
house, heard by both her husband and
sister, She found standing at the
door an elderly lady whom she had
never before seen, dressed in the FASH
ion of years long since gone by. The
stranger said nothing. when the lady
of the house opened the conversation
by saying,
Il do not know youi do you wish
anything 2"
Nor you." replied the old lady.
'fSend down to the six o'clock train !;
the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. w. will
be on it. )"
The old lady then walked of Mrs.
G. Immediately told her husband, who
was in the house, and asked him to go
down to the depot, which was not at
any great distance. He however, rid
icqled his wife and her nervous ap-
prehensions, but being again urged,
went down to the depot to find that
the train had not arrived and no re-
port of aIY accident, He returned
home at 8 ;40-eYen yet before the aG-
cident oecurred-to falgh at his wife
and her fears. The train arrived
little late, and in few minutes mes
sengeF came rushing up to say that
the dead bodies OF the old couple
were OH the train, and TO request Mr..
G. to come down, which he did, and
helped them of. The messenger was
sent to Mr.. G. in consequence of his
first VISIT and inquiries. There were
no means of telegraphie cOmnlunica-
tiOn with the place where the accident
happened, Afterwards in describing
the appearance of the lady to sister
of Mrs. W., she recognized in it the
faithful portrayal of her mother, who
had been dead many years.
