SUBMERGED FORCE PUMP.

The submerged force pump. invented
by Captain McCasey, to which we al
luded recently in the SILVER STATE, has
now assumed a tangible form. One Of the
pumps has been cast at the Winnie
mucca Foundry, and an idea OF the
manner in which it works can be
formed from its appearance. The
pump Is double acting. with single
cylinder with projections on the side
in which are the valves and through
which the water is discharged. The
valves are simple disc valves of thin
copper or other metal, while the valve
above the cylinder is triangular, and
regulates the water in the discharge
pipes. Being submerged it cannot
freeze and is always PINNED and ready
for use. For deep wells. where suction
lift pumps are useless, it has DO equal.
The inventor claims that his ordinary
well pump will throw from 80 to 100
gallons of water per minute. The pts.
ton boipg concave brings the pressure of
the water directly under the piston-rod,
thereby precluding the possibility of
bending or otherwise injuring the rod.
1t Will throw from one to eight con-
tinual streams of water at the same
time. Gravel or sand has no effect on
it.; pebbles us large as pigeons sccs
being Immediately discharged if taken
into the cylinder. 1t is made entirely
of metal, and when once erected is in
no manner liable to get out of order
With two or three such pumps,
mounted, and the necessary hose, in
small towns, fires could be subdued or
kept under control. We understand
McCasey. Powers and Sutherland, the
owners of the patent, intend to have a
few built aud mounted on wheels, like
FIRE engines.
ACCUSED OF THErr. Johnny Coon,
an honest miner, well known in Dun
Glen and Unionvilfe,- where he has
worked for years, was accused this
morning before he got out of bed, by
stranger who slept fl the same room
with him, at Mrs. Gilson's lodging
house, of having stolen $3.50. Coon
denied the base charge and thought the
fellow must be crazy or drunk. He
seemed to be sober and in dead earnest,
however, and sent for Officer Pryor,
who went to the room and searched
Coon. without finding the money.
Now" said the officer, addressing the
man who accused Coon of stealing, Il
have searched him and believe will
serve you the same way" and shifting
the action to the words he proceeded to
do so. His labor was rewarded by find
ing the $3.50 upon the person of the
stranger. 1t was now Coon's turn to
invoke the protection of the law, and
we understand he has commenced pro-
ceedings against his accuser.

he worked was that of man in search
of a nurse, and he never failed to take a
good look at the children in each house.
After four days hard work and much
travel the doctor found the boy he was
looking for, and with a rapid stride and
glowing a1ticipations he rushed to Police
Headquarters. Sergt. Frost was busilv
engaged when the doctor entered, but
the excited amateur didn't heed that
fact. He gave Frost rafting blow be-

around his neck and gasped 1--WE

then all three hurried off up town in

spot. Where the house was the detect
ives won't say, but it is enough to know
that they found the supposed Ross boy
there in the custody of an aged lady, who
said she was his grandmother.

of the old lady. DO YOU like taffy, little

to his bosom; and the little fellow, over

opened his eyes in establishment and an

being willing, the two detectives took the
child between them and, followed closely
by the doctor, went into store on Myr-
ofsweetmeats for him. While walking
along Frost, who was boiling over, could
hardly refrain from shouting aloud, and
him quiet. They made it up between
a doubt, and that they must have his
picture taken. So they carried him from
the only store into neighboring photo
graphic gallery and had cards of the lit
tie fellows features struck off in great
haste, and then they took him home
again, after arranging to keep close
watch on his future movements.
Then they wrote a letter to the Phila-

RECIPES, ETC.

If man does not have food enough.
or food of a suitable quality, he cannot
work to advantage. And animals, like
men, need suitable food.
Potato Balls (For breakfast BOIL

a little salt; work in two fresh eggs to
quart. Mold into little balls, prick the
tops, and lay away in the cold on a plate.
In the morning put or baking pan and
set into the oven until done to a delicate
brown, which requires fifteen or twenty
minutes.
Moth Preventive. Mix half pint
of alcohol, the same quantity of spirits
OF turpentine, and two ounces of cam
phor. Keep in stone bottle and shake
before using. The cloths or furs are to
be wrapped in linen, and crumpled-up
pieces of blotting paper dipped in the
liquid are to be placed in the box with
them, so that it smells strongly. This
requires renewing once year.
-Hominy. Two quarts of white corn;
three half pints of white beans; two
pounds of picked pork. Wash the corn
and put it on to boil in water sufficient to
cover it, and as the corn swells more
water must be added, so as to keep it
covered all the time it is cooking. After
boiling four hours, add the beans and
pork, which being done, the hominy may
be sent to table. Should the pork not
make it sufficiently salt, more may be
added This is very nice warmed over
the next day.
Orange marmalade is thus made:
The rind or peel is taken off and scraped,
then boiled in water until tender, when
the water is poured off, and the rind cut
in thin slices, with the juice which is ex-
tracted from the body of the orange
added, and set to boil again, with the
addition of three quarters of pound Of
sugar to every pound of matter, and in
from twenty minutes to half an hour the
marmalade is made. 1t generally comes

TIE following, extracted from report
of delegates sent by the Canadian Gov
eminent TO the Vienna Exhibition, will
be read with interest, as showing how
ludicrous and barbarous the implements
of fifty or hundred years ago must
look beside those of the present day
"a pillow used by the Emperor Joseph
Ii. of Austria, in 1859, was placed beside
a modern pillow, in portion of the Aus
trian department set apart for the exhi-
bltion of the old plows of various nations.
No better proof could be given of the
great advance in the improvement of
plows which has marked the 100 years
which have elapsed since His Imperial
Majesty worried himself and his mother
earth with that plow., This venerable
pillow was composed of the root OF tree,
with the stem for beam, resting on an
axle with wheels underneath it of about
two and half feet in diameter; the han
dies were secured to the knee by holes

bored into it, into which the handles were
secured; the share was piece of iron
about nine inches long secured to the
point by the knee, and then strip of
board about six inches wide was Sc
cured near the share. This last contriv-
ance was designed to answer the pur-
pose of mold-board. The old English
plows, though much in advance of this
Austrian one, were very awkward and
weighty affairs, such as now would not
be accepted as gift by farmers in
any civilized country. Spain exhibited
an old pillow with shafts, and a wooden
share. South France, pillow constructed
of wood, with the exception of the share,
with wooden moldboards FIVE inches
wide; this pillow was about 500 years old
From Tyrol, in Morocco, Africa, a
pillow was sent which had only one han.
die; it was very similar to the Austrian
pillow, being composed of wooden knee
but without wheels. There was Scotch
pillow with wheels and three Golfers
similar to cultivator An American
pillow, without mold boards, one wheel
and head twelve inches deep A Poland
pillow had no wheels A Chinese plow
had one handle without any head or
iu-podTuS, ana WIFI the Deam last
ened into the handle, TO the end of the
handle was attached share. East Rus
STA exhibited a pillow with beams, sixteen
feet long, fastened to yoke in order to
be drawn by oxen. From Poland there
was pillow without any moldboard
and having head sloping forward very
much West Russia exhibited a pillow
under an axle, raised and lowered with a
screw running through the axle A Nor
wegian pillow had handle almost perpen-
dicular, with beam mortised into it.; also
a piece of wood mcrtised into the lower
part of the handle, on which was placed
an iron share about nine inches wide. A
Dalmatian pillow had crooked handle
on the lower end of which was placed
share with wooden beam mortised
through the handle"

Mistaken Detectives.

There are two sick detectives at Police
headquarters. One is Sergt. Charlie
Frost, the other Detective Patrick Corr
They don't like to have anything written
about them in this connection, but the
story is too good to be lost 1t is all in
reference to poor Charlie Ross. Every
one knows that after Ne boy disappeared
reward of $50, 900 was offered for his
recovery and that the detectives all over
the country were on the gut rare with the
fortune in prospective. The detectives
named above were among the most
