The Kecley Motor which is excl
ing so much discussion is denounced by
the Scientific American as fraud. The
editor says; 1--WE think that any ingenious
mechanic, by means of Il hydraulic jack
ana small pipe, could readily produce
and exhibit such pressure, and could.
by turning faucet, drive p,mrligig for
the space of sixty seconds, or from 9.Os
p. NJ. to 900 p. NJ, as the learned coun-
sci gravely reports. In the example of
keeiey, the certificate of Collier shows
that hydrant force OF twenty six
pounds to the inch is always required to
run the machine This force, if applied
to common wheel or engine, would
produce considerable amount of con-
slant mechanical power. But the
moving force is nearly all wasted in
kec'ey's device, for he is only able to
drive toy engine for a minute or two at
a time. THIS does not look much like
driving train of cars from PHILADELPHIA
to New York, or crossing the ocean with
out the consumption of coal"

Donaldsom's Lady Love. y

When Donaldson was supposed 60
have been killed by balloon accident
in New Jersey, after he had ascended
from Philadelphia; not long since,
there was "future Mrs. Donaldsonh
in the case, and II seems that this lady
still lives in hopes OF bearing and
wearing the great balloonist's name ia
the future. The Chicago 2Sa1sa, speak.
ing of the last balloon excitement says:
1.-The future Mrs. Donaldson stood
before her window beating tattoo
upon the pane with her delicate, snowy
fingers and gazing. at the lightning as
it played around the i Southern sky.
"And what do you thinkf" ventured
the reporter "What 40 ] thinkg Why
1 think I'll live to 60 up in balloon
with bim some day myself. He'llcome
back, come back, because he said he
would" and she ratified away at the
window and laughed sweetly as she
half hid her face behind dsmask cur

Peaches.

healthy ones have already been offer.
ed In New York. Now, while all ripe
fruit 10 at this season, its season, most
inviting and promotive OF digestion,it
is equally true that fruit picked half
ripe, withered or decays ed, is provocs-
tive of disease. There is no reason
why this summer everybody should
not indulge in peaches without stint;
they will be plenty and cheap; but
now as ever caution should be exe-cas-
ed in purchasing. Buy none but the
freshest and best. OF these children
may not only be allowed but should
be encouraged to eat freely, They are
better for them than neat or pie, and
infinitely better for the adult with
which to slacken mis- thirst than juleps
or punches. 1t is not one Of the least
of blessings conferred upon conmuni-
ties by railroads, that they enable q
great variety of food, and bring &c
hand fruits which without them would
be, instead of every day comforts,
high priced luxuries. Though short
lived, the peach is one of the most ad.
'mirable of fruits and the enjoyment
Of it should be indulged in even az
The expense of whiskey. Fresh milk
light bread and sound peaches make
dish fit for king-or an American
sovereign citizen.

The insecurity of country houses.
suggests the New York Journal Of
Commerce, that unless ezpedien.s fox

even pace with its manifestations it
may be thought that the population of
the rural districts, at least, will be
forced to abandon the confidence su-
purinduced by civilization and return
to discarded modes of making flfe
AMI property secure. It is beconfrg
an almost everyday occurrences fora
country house or bank to be attacked
by robbers. its occupants gagged end
bound while the brigands ransack the
/ place for spoils. The immunity which
has hitherto attended this species Of
brigandage vastly increases the dan

brigand robbery on Orange mountaip,
New Jersey, was committed by some
'tramps. The list of recent exploits,
besides frequent robberries, embraces
an attempted outrage upon q women;
an assault with knives upon Police

dinnerpails of workmen in cemetery;
q murder at Dighton, Massachusetts,
and a brutal assault by some vaga-
bonds who were stealing a ride IN

base turner's

At length, after years OF trial, it can now bt
affirmed with entire confidence that a successful
practical and efficient base burner stove for Hi
nois soft coal has been invented and brought to
perfection. Half dozen of different names and
patterns are in the market, all of them construct.
cd substantially on the same principle an.
swering the purpose, and differing in degrees OF
| excellence only on account Of q variation In the
details Of construction.
We can speak with perfect confidence, at least
of one-the "Clinton," manufactured by Fuller
Warren s. Co., of Albany, N. Y, and sold by Man
lev d Smeeton, of this city. There are few
points about this stove that are claimed to place
1t above any rival, and from thorough trial,
we can positively affirm that it comes up to eve
ry excellence that is claimed for it. We have
tried the best Stuart stoves, and have for years
used hard coal base burners, but have never had
stove on our premises that in all points equals
the "Clinton" soft coal base burner. 1t Is clean
ly, not particle Of dust need ever pass into the
room from handling the ashes; it is a splendid
heater; the fire is always under perfect control,
so that it can be full of fire on q hot summer
day and throw out not particle Of heat; or it
can be put into such blaze that it will heat
cold room better than any other stove we ever
saw. 1t needs hardly any attention. Filling ii
once in "a hours answers in any ordinary winter
weather, while in mild October weather like the
present one filling in As hours answers
We advise people wanting handsome stove
for our cheap Illinois coal, one that will answer
all the requirements Of an expensive hard coal
burner by all means to buy the Clinton"
