which Is row challenging the attention OF the

worthy OF all consideration. IL says

FASHION NOTES.

For euchre there is very handsome
assortment, the most nobby in our esti-
nation being diagonal plaid back, con-
vex corners, scolloped edges, with the
face cards done in chrome and warranted
not to split or turn on the corners.
Poker will be played with plain calico
back, although there are some combina-
ton styles, suitable for monte men, and
more durable than the other.
The styles for whist are all very ex-
pensive, pearl gray and lavender tiints,
ivory backs, with mother of pearl COR
ners and the eyes Of the royal family set
with precious stones, one deck, diamond
eyes, being sold yesterday for 81, 215, to
lady on North Hill.
Nothing but plain, twenty-five cent
calico back, done in Dolly Warden pat
terms, will be permissible for whisky
poker.
Seven up will be played with the old
style cards, thirty cents deck, two for
fifty cents.
Auction pitch cards are finished with
peagreen silk backs, with the royal fam
lily dressed in the uniform of the Veteran
Guard.
Casino is played with linen backs,
ivory finish, paper collar gloss, with the
knaves in the costume of the late City
Guard.
California Jack is acquiring some con-
siderable popularity Judging by the fin
ISL of the cards; which are richly done
in decorative fresco, corn starch gloss,
emerald green fronts. and face cards
deliberately dressed in the uniform OF the
Emmett Guard.
Faro is acquiring considerable pres
tige with green broadcloth backs, the
dress of the queen richly decorated with
buttons, the king attired as q member Of
the Lyon Battery and the Jack with a
pocket full OF red, white and blue checks.
Pedro is growing in popularity, as
evinced by the improvement IN the finish
of the cards for this game. We noticed
in the showcase a very handsome deck,
sky blue illusion backs, edges finished
in italian marble, with the corners set
in beautifully polished triangles of
Scotch granite. Price $25. Some
cheaper styles for fifteen cents are in the
market, but they are intended more ex-
clusively for steamboat, rafting and riv-
er trade generally.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT INVEN
TON.
Revolving Piston Steam Engine.

La Crosse seems to be taking the lead
in great inventions. The Hoyt Patent
Emery Wheel buhr dresses; the Barty
Combined Reaper and Binder, and doz-
ems OF lesser inventions have originated
here, and now Mr.. j. NJ. Marty, our
First ward Supervisor and County Sur
veyor, has invented new steam engine,
which bids fair to come to the front as
perfect machine.
We were allowed last evening to wit
ness the working Of the model at the
large agricultural works of Marty c
Legler, and will try and give our read
ers all idea Of the new machine. The
working model exhibited was not larger
than IL inches either way and worked
nicely with 35 pounds of steam. which
showed that every part and portion was
perfect. The inventor showed us a
drawing representing a sectional view
and enabled us to get better idea of It's
workings. The new engine is called a
Revolving Piston Steam engine, and it is
claimed to be all that can ever be desir
ed 1t combines the benefits and ad-
vantages of both the Rotary and Piston
engines, without embracing one of the
faults OF those machines, it giving as
high as 80 per cent. of power, allowing
the utmost limit of steam expansion by
a slow motion of 10 to 40 revolutions per
minute according to the size of the ma
chine. 1t also economies room, not
taking up more than one third the space
of an ordinary engine, while it is claim
ed fully one-third fuel is saved. It has
automatic packing which renders the
machine better after one years running
than when first set up. There is no fly
wheel, no crank and no crank shaft need
ed, and the larger the machine the
cheaper it can be built, compared with
others. It will never come to a dead
stop like other machines which have to
twice III every revolution, as the steam
has it's most natural way of working,
etc.
An engine of this patent of 25 horse
power, according to statement, would
only measure on the outside four feet
by two feet on base frame and four feet
high, without driving pulley, would
make 20 revolutions per minute and con
sumo 900 cubic inches of steam per
second by expansion of 8 times with
condensation.)
The inventor, we understand, will go
to Washington next week and place his
model III the patent office. Mr.. Marty
certainly deserves the praise of all for
his wonderful Invention, and we trust it
will realize all his most sanguine wishes.

The wise heads of Wall street outside
of the ring do not understand what the
object is in keeping gold up SO high,
and they are wondering where all the
gold goes to. It flows into New York
from Europe, Montreal and California,
and seems to be slowed away and looked
up as soon rs it arrives. Importers who
are forced to take their goods out of
bond to supply the spring trade have
good cause to grumble, for they have to
pay their duties now, and gold Is sure
to go down before long. The clique Is
said to be the strongest one that has
ever ruled the market. Various parties
are reported to be at the head Of it,
among them, of course, Jay Gould.
Thus are the business interests Of the
whole United States trifed with for the
benefit of few Wall-street gam blers.
