When we remember that steam
generally exerts n pressure of only
about eighty pounds to the
square inch, it will be seen how
useful this discovery will be. The
stories Of the inventor seem fabulous
but we must remember that steam
itself snd the telegraph were de.
nounoed as frauds not many years
ago.
Mr.. Keely is waiting to have hi.
discovery patented in every country
before he exhibits it publicly to the
world. If it be a genuine invention
new era in science will be inausu
rated, and mon may at last be able
to sail through the air as easily as
they now navigate tho ocean.

It is a question for Smith to consider
whether he will contribute q small
amount towards making Jones' son d
useful member of society, or whether
he will run the chance Of shaVing his
hogs or other property stolen, or p err
haps being himself murdered by tho
boy to whose education he refused TO
give:even small sb are. This is aserioua
question, and it should be carefully
considered. 1t. must be conceded
that many children of both sexes and
races, arc growing up in ignorance,
and it is also apparent that, in some
neighborhoods, education can bo OBJ.

A Now Motive Power.

New York is running mad ovor

of unrcmitting labor, now motive

agents. Tho following description
of the process of generating this won.

"The apparatus that generates the
power is oalled "multiplicator,n
and is composed of a number of iron
chambers of cylindrical form, con.
neoted by pipes md fitted with cor
tain cooks and valves. The machine
upon which experiments have beon
conducted during the past oight
months is about thirty.six inches
high, twenty. four long, and thirteen
wide, and its cylinders will hold
about six gallons of water. A
small brass pipe, with an orifioo ono.
quarter of an inch in diameter, loads
from it to a strong wrought.iron
reservoir ak inches in diameter and
three feet long, whore the power is
stored, and whence it is fod to beam
engine through still smaller pipe.
The process of generating the powor
consists n forcing air into the cham
ber of the multiplioator, and after
ward letting water run in from q
'hydrant until tho receptaoles are
nearly filed. In tho experiments
Yocently made, tho inventor has used
his own lungs for an air pump, blow
ing through tube for q fow seconds,
then turning cook to shut off the
air, connecting the tube with tho
hydrant and opening the cook until
sufficient wator runs in. Within
two minutes after this operation is
performed, the cooks on tho tubes
connecting tho upper with tho lower
cylinders arc turned, and tho mower
is ready for use. This little ma.
chino cxorts through tho small tube

Musical.

bfr. Editor: -
AS a, !, gentleman of taste, and
having a-high appreciation of music
yourself, has IT, ever occurred to you
as it has to myself, that whilst our
proud little town. which :. has often
been characterized for its many ex-
oeIlenoies (uot forgetting, however, its
many vices whlch are too numerous to
mention) that there is within our
corporate limits, peculiar idiosyn
orasy which seems to pervade the
whole atmosphere with som ething
like o diversified hallucination of
musical genius : I should like to
have your candid opinion to see
wherein we agree and upon what
points we differ. ....
1tsoems clear to my mind from The
experience of the past, that for the
purpose of either "driving dull care
away" created no doubt by the
stagnation of business and dull times
that every man in town (and l shall
not forget the ladies) seems to "blow
his own horn" This, confess, is
all very we'll its plaoo and at the
propeA time but 1t appears to me
there Is too much Of good thing
when taken collectively. somo Of
tho disciples Of Appollo, seem to have
had the very inspiration of the
Heathen God, whilst others, I should
judge from my appreciation of their
musical talents, are laboriug under
the delusion that they are taking
their first lessons in music from the
Internal regions. 'Tis true, we have
music day and night, both good and
bad. It litteraly verifies the poetic
adage, slightly puraphrased, it con.
tains both the sublime and the ro
dioulous. 'Tis true also, ~.
"That music has charms to sooth tho
savage hoart, ~.
kcdd.'
First, We have within our oorpo-
rate limitsthe Justly celebrated Brass
Band. We have also tho oolored
Band, one, in my opinion, calculated
to rival tho midnight orgtes of
Baccanalian Satyrs, or q den of 70.
limo courtesans. We have stringed
instruments handled by 40 ,omplished
Artists, and occasionally "Old Rosin
de Bow" from a. darkey pouring
sweet melody in the ear Of his "lubly
miss dinah.'" We have the shriIl
whistle Of the locomotive, and piero.
ing notes of the steam mill, and We
arc also greeted even to midnight
hours by. the ''low, deep rolline,
laundering sound" of tho "f,owline
Alley" Ill. we'll calculated alike
to make might bideous,s' vet 'tis
