In Roeunebeck, Bremen, an engine
has been nearly completed by Herr Tross-
in which resolves the problem, which tor
nearly thirty years has engaged the at
tcntion of inventors, of the utilization of
superheated steam in common engines.
The answer to the problem has been
found III the new application OF the phys
ical law and the use of peculiar lubri-
cant. An engine working with super
heated steam needs only half the ordin-
ary amount of coal, the boiler and crate
can be smaller by one half, the supply of
water by one third, and the air-pump
and condenser are equally reduced to
halt their usual space. The improve
ment has been patented in England, Bel
gium and other countries, and can easily
be applied to engines of the existing
type.

A r markable discovery was Fec6ntf%
made on. an island i'm the Mississippi, eight
miles below Davenport, Iowa, by some fish
ermen. It was a sibtefranean cave, hewiS'
ont of the solid rock, which was covered BY
huge rock, and which was reached by.
stone steps. The floor of this subterranemn'
cavity, which haaB undoubtedly been made
thousands Of years ago, was fllickly strewn
ashes, the clarred remains Of bones, aud q
substance which they took 10 Be dead
leaves, first wested, when they were pressed
together, resembling i'm order and solldlty
tile cake from oatmeal. Among the dry.
ashes they picked up three ttlsks about the
size OF bears teeth, and still lower the boat
hook came in contact with hard substance
which: proved to be skull, brown as polish
Ell walnut. perfect lin every respect, and OF
ordinary sAe. On further exaFnffatlonr
almost a oosmpfete skeleton was discovered
But the most singular part came to light i'm
the hardened and almost petrified leather
straps, bronze buckles, and wooden leg
which continued the right extremity. that
limb having been removed about midway
between hip and knee. This Is very I'M
teristing discovery. proving that a kilOwl-

the storm, it began to grow louder and
louder, and i'm two minutes after some
soldier away up III the column had
struck up the inspiring strain, it was
being sung by fifteen thousand troops,
and could be distinctly heard above the
rushing winds, the noise of falling trees
and the reverberatlons of thunder. l
bad seen wild storms befure, but never,
in my life, had [ witnessed one so sub.
timely terrible as the one OH the heevening
of the Sd of July, the roar and din of
which was ut times overpowered by
the verses of that grand old song of
"Raliy 'round the flag, boys"
Yes, the song is growing old SO is
"Old Hundred,' "Ortonyille," and
many others that could be named. The
finest melodies we eyer heard are grows
ing old, and are none the less cherished
let us hope, on that account. We are
all growing old the songs we sung in
our childhood are not the songs we hear
to-day, yet they are inscparably connect
ed with period in our lives that only
make them the more valued for that
reason. SO, too, with the patriotic
songs sung by the stoys i'll blae,"
They will never grow old while memo
~ holds its sway. They were sung by
the comrade who died by the side OF
him who lived to return to the slowed
ones at home !" through toll and priva-
ton, through want and suffering, they
served to cheer and inspire the brave,
patriotic men, and when victory and
peace came, the surviving soldier march,
cd to his old home, keeping time to the
same old songs. TO some they may
grow old, in fact, as well as in years
but the words,
''Rally round the flag, boys
are inseparably interviewer with the his
tory of the war for the preservation OF
the Union, and as such will be ever
cherished by him who wore the blue,
whether he bore but the marks of a
corporal upon his arm, or strap upon
his shoulder, inclosing three stars; indeed
whether he bore any distinguishing
mark at all, save true, upright, noble
patriotism, and love OF country.

Fallen Asleep IL, Jesus.

Mrs. EMMA BRUCE BYLAND. youngest
daughter of Jno. w. and Lurana Bell, and
wife of Donald f: Byland, WAS born in
Lebanon, Linn county, Oregon, March 8,
1865.
Being the youngest, Emma Nas the child
of many hopes, and was tenderly cared for
by her parents, who early sought to lead
her to the savior. In the 18th year of her
age she was United In holy marriage to
Mr.. u. f. Byland, the husband of her
choice. Six months. afterward she took
upon herself the obligations OF Il religious
life, and, in company with her husband,
united with the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, in the communion of which she
steadElstly continued until she passed from
earth to heaven.
Her pathway was not one of uncertain
direction. but always led OH to the Savior,
through shadow as we'll as sunshine. Her
sufferings previous to her death were of
many months duration, and often very
great, but always endured with patience
and christian fortitude.
Something over one year ago she was at
tackled with disease of the lungs, which
moved steadily on in its progress until it
resulted in her death. She saw her ap-
preaching dissolution without fear, and
gave directions touching her burial, select
ing text of scripture expressing her tri-
umpl over death, and appropriate hymns
for her funeral services.
After many repeated declarations of her
confidence i'll Jesus, of her willingness to
depart, and of l:er resignation to the will
of her Savior, and having formally hidden
her friends an affectionate adieu until they
should meet ''beyond the narrow river, =
she quietly fell asleep in Jesus and passed
on to ''the sweet by and by on Sunday.
Oct. 24, 1875, at o'clock T.. VI.
She leaves an affeetionate husband, two
children, yet too young to know their loss,
an afftctionate father, mother, sister, and a
large circle of friends to mourn her depart
ure.
The funeral sermon was preached Octo-
Der 2Gtll, by Rev. W. II. Bishop, of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, at Leb-

TIE SAD STORY OF MIR. WIsCH.-It is
not pleasing prospect which Mr.. Wisch,
of Warsaw, Illinois, has before him, name
ly, to be licked in every town in the United
States. This is tho sad story of Mr.. Wisch:
Some time ago he came into possession of
500, which is claimed by Mr.. S. d. Math-
ews of Alexandria, and which Mr.. Mathews
asserts he was swindled out of by Wisch.
Shortly after the transaction. whatever it
might have been, Mr.. Wisch went to Alex
andria, where he was promptly thrashed
by Mr.. Mathews. Wisch then returned to
Warsaw, whittier Mr.. Mathews, after settl-
ing his bill with the justice of the peace,
followed him. In Warsaw likewise he
thrasllcd his enemy and next morning
made it square, with the Warsaw tribunal.
The other day Wiseh went to Keokuk. and
thtIIer, too, went Mathews, and mallled his
victim publicly for the third time. Justice
was easily appeased the next day, although
Mathews announced in court his intention
to accompany WiScll TO St. Louis and whip
him again. His programme, he says, is TO
lick his enemy in every town the latter en-
tiers. He will be careful not to thrash him
twice in the same town, for he allows that
he is not vintlictive man, and once in a
place is enough. Wisch is rapidly losing
his taste for travel under these circumstan-
ces. We wish Mr.. Wiscll much joy OF his
hundred dollars.

CITY OF SALEM.-rhis new steamboat,
pearanee at our wharf last saturday. She
is one of the neateSt furnished and trinest
built boats on the river. She is $50 feet in
length, 33 feet beam, and with one-third
more carrying capacity and with but one
third of the power of the Grorer, makes
the same time and draws less water.
Loaded, she draws 10 inches at the bow
and II inches aft. This boat was built to
run in low water, and there is hardly n
day in the year in which she cannot make
this city. The boat was built for the pur-
pose of furnishing onr people with cheap
| transportation facilities, and the owners
propose to carry grain and other freight at
the lowest living rates-the present rate
being s. 75 per ton for grain, If prices
are lowered by the old companies to figures
that will not pay to run boats. will it be
good policy for our people 10 throw off on

and thus drive them off the river? VIII
not the rates run mp to five or six dollar;

sound business policy, to give the new boat;
