A New York mechanic has invented
mechanism by which the motive
power inherent in both ends of coiled
springs is utilized, and sufficient dy-
namical action is evolved to propel the
smallest or largest machinery. The
inventor proposes, by adding small
incased clockwork to the side of sew
ing machine, to render the treadle and
crank unnecessary, and run the ma
chinery by winding up the clockwork.
1t is claimed that cars, wagons. and all
kinds of machinery can be run by
similar continuance.

The editor of the Austin Reveille has
made an important discovery, and
makes it known to the public in this
manner: We did not know it before,
but we know it now, that the latest
style of ladies' dresses are made to
assume their peculiar shape by means
of bands of elastic. The way we come
to know it is this: Two ladies were
passing the Reveille Office this after
noon, and just as they got opposite the
door, there was swapping sound, as
though the largest fre-cracker ever
made in China had just exploded. Our
devil commenced making tracks for the
back door, believing-as he afterwards
explained-that the lady had giant
powder caps in her pocket; but We
were saved from fright by hearing
one of the ladies exclaim: 'Pshaw.
there's that bran-new elastic gone
plum to the middle of next week!'"

BORDER TROUBLES.

The Texas frontier is, and has been
for years infested, with hordes of
Mexican robbers, who make periodi-
cal raids across the Rio Grande, and
perpetrate all manner of outrages on
the American side of the river.
Thousands of cattle have been stolen
by these marauders, and driven into
the adjoining Mexican territory, where
the freebooters are safe from pursuers,
and applauded by the local au-
thorities. The General Government
of Mexico acknowledges its inability to
suppress these raids, or punish those
who engage in them, and some time
since appointed joint commission
with the United States Government
to arbitrate the claims of the Texans.
The commission, we believe, reported
the value of stock stolen from Ameri-
cans, at somewhere between seventy
five and hundred millions of dollers;
but what steps, if any, have been taken
to recover the amount, we have not
learned. Meantime the raiders con-
time their depredations, and Captain
McNally, who commands company of
United States troops at Edinburg,
on the frontier, has information
that within the week ending May 20
three droves of stolen cattle had
been driven across the Rio Grande in
that vicinity by the Mexicans. Mexican
cavalry are also stationed at various
points on the Mexican side of the river,
but they are in full sympathy with the
raiders, and not infrequently join in
the raids. Last week the servants of
General Cortina, who commands those
troops, were caught with other thieves
in the act of driving stolen cattle on
the Mexican side of the river. They
were taken before the Alcalde, but Cor
tina hearing of the affair fastened with
his cavalry to their rescue, and hanged
the Alcalde for refusing to release them
and shot the prosecuting witness, from
whom the cattle were stolen. This is
said to be fair illustration of the man
ner in which justice is administered on
the Texan frontier of Mexico, and I'M
der such circumstances would not
President Grant increase his chances
for third term by ordering troops to
the Rio Grande, and instructing them
to pursue the thieves to the center of
Mexico If necessary, and mete out to
them the punishment they so richly de-
serve.

A SCIENTIST has just discovered that
locusts, not grasshoppers, have been
destroying the crops in the Western
States. How consoling the information
must be to the suffering farmers of
Kansas and Nebraska, and how over
joyed the hoppers will feel at being re,
lieved of the odium of having devas-
tated two or three States of the Union.
Surely they are under great obligations
to science for thus indicating their
character.

A NICE LOT OF Old BOYS.

The Silver State tells of the exist
ence of Pioneer society in Winnie
mucca, the county town:
There is a proviso that the appli-
cant must be of good moral chracter,
but as all the old Humboldters are I'M
exceptionally moral, that does not stand
in the way of membership"
Yes, most likely. But few who have
the acquaintance of the Humboldters
at the Capital-those who have been
in the Legislature and others who have
been in the lobbies principally-would
attempt to deny that they are equal to
any point of morality. Why, they are
so over5urdened with the article NOR
atty as to become by-word among
men. We have some little curiosity
to know the names of the Humboldt
Pioneers. Of course Julien, Waldo,
M. S. Bonnifield, M. S. Thompson and
Stoddard, and those other moral, hon.
est men, belong to the Order. If not
too much trouble to the Silver State
man, we shall be thankful to him to
procure the list and either publish it
or send it to us for publication.
The above is from the Carson Trib-
une. Some of those mentioned are
not Pioneers but to crafty the curios-
ity of the Tribune man we shall, as
soon as convenient, publish the names
of those who are, and if they are not
as represented in the Silver State, un-
exceptionally moral. we shall vote to
make the Tribune man an honorary
member of the society.

A,MARR1ED man in Brooklyn thought
he detected an obstruction in the key
hole of his door one night, and in fit
of enthusiasm, he chucked a half-pint
of carbolic acid into the opening. The
next morning his mother-in-law turned
mp missing, and there is lingering i'm
preston on that man. mind that car
bolic acid is one of the necessities that
no newly married couple can afford to
do without.

THE Boston Post says: The
ladies have all got the neuralgia in
their shoulders from wearing spring
clothes, and many new dresses are
supplemented across the back by
porous plasters, and next to q vest
front a mustard poultice is generally
most worn. Young ladies alternate
between a necklace for street wear and
a flannel rag for the house. Diamonds
are worn in the ears with much effect
abroad, but a lock of cotton and little
roast onion is usually the ornament at
home. Pearl powder is applied to the
shoulders for full dress, but camphor-
ated oil and hartshorn are considered
pretty also--by the sufferers. Silk
stockings. with colored clockings, are
the things far low-slashed shoes, but
pals of hot mustard water and warm
bricks are also much worn on the feet.

The Wheatland California; Press,
tells the following: "There is more
than one way of procuring meal. A
tramp entered one of our hotels this
week, sat down at the breakfast table
and speedily demolished q hearty
meal. He then ordered another beef
steak. and on its being placed before
him, he suddenly covered his nasal
organ with his hands and started for
the door, apparently taken with bleed
ing at the nose. He passed through
the hotel and across the street to a
pump, from whence he soon bolted
down the track and made off,

liveries upon precious orders. The cur
rent demand from first hands has been
limited, and the aggregate sales have
been small.
CAssIMEREs OF fine grades have been
placed in small lots to a moderate amount,
otherwise the trade In this class of goods
has been extremely lnnguid.
OvERCoATlSos, both plain and fancy
faced, have received comparatively little
attention, and the sales of the day from
first hands have been unimportant.
REPELLENTs have remained inactive.
The stock in first hands is said to be
somewhat in excess OF the probable
wants Of buyers, and prices in some cases
have been less firmly maintained.
KENTUCKY JEANS have exhibited no
new features in the dealings. The sales
by agents have been small, but an in
creased demand is expected By holders
before the season is much further adj
vanced.
Wool FLASSELs have probably been
as active as usual on the first day OF the
week, and the aggregate sales have on
the whole been satisfactory in amount.
BLANKETS have been in limited re.
quest, and moderate sales have been e.
fccted at unchanged figures.

that the spectators can scarcely imagine
that she is making unusually fast time.
In this connection It is worth while to
notice that II Is not many years since 1t

forty seconds. Now the recent meeting
