A MODEL STEAM WAGON WANTED
When the ten thousand dollar reward
offered by the Wisconsin Legislature as q
bounty for steam wagon 10 earned, the
occupation for the horse will be gone
The qualities such wagon must possess
are thus described by Wisconsin CORES.
pondent OF the Scientific American: ITO
fill the bill the machine must travel 200
miles, north and south, over poor roads,
that are often sunk or worn down-in the
wheel and horse tracks-slx inches 10 a
foot below the common level, but with a
ridge in the center, the ridge being i'm
passible for horse-more 30 for the
wheel OF a steamer, when we take into ac-
count the stumps and stones avoided by a
double team and left in the center ridge.
Our wagon track is about four feet six
inches outside, and that must be the
gauge Of u steamer, which machine should
not weigh more than two tons, and must
be so arranged that it will climb steep
sand hills, cross poor bridges, run easily
over hogs, stones and grubS, and out Of
ruts, &c, just as a loaded lumber wagon
does, and it must travel at the average
rate OF five miles an hour, and in the Ian.
guagc Of the law, BE cheap substitute

SwINDLING THE ARMY.-In his letter
to Mr.. Clymer, says the New York Post,
General Hazen urges a reform which, is so
manifestly proper that it is difficult to
believe that any but corrupt considera.
tons could have prevented its adoption
long ago. There Is a law which was
passed in 1866, the General says, "requir.
ing the Commi@ary Department to fur
nish to enlisted men at cost the articles
usually furnished them by suffers" The
enforcement Of this law "would be worth
to the enlisted men 100000 annually"
A large part of this money has gone to
pay for Worth's dresses and "No. u
shoes, and generally to feed the gross va
nifty and contribute to the vulgar ostenta-
tiOn OF Washington Society" All swindl.
ing is crime, but some varieties OF the
crime are especially mean, 1t is easy to
see why the law of 1865 has not been en-
forced.

TnE circumstances attending the death
Of our United States Consul General for
Italy, Paul Dahlgren, are curious and
melancholy. He had been suffering from
illness, but was better. Thursday morn
lug he told his servant to take some resi-
after his fatigue in attending him. In a
few hours aiterwatd he was found lying
dead in an upper room Of the building,
whittier, it is supposed, he went either for
the purpose Of calling the servant or to
read and consult official papers. The
cause Of his death was syncope OF the
heart.

A Falling Rock from Lookout

says: "On Sunday hundreds OF people
visited the mountain for the purpose Of
taking a look at the immense mass,
which is slowly severing itself from the
ledge Of rocks at Bragg's Bluff, near the
toll-gate. Thei first Indications of this
severlng process were discovered about
a week ago, and since then the work
has been almost constantly going on.
The greatest progress so far discovered
has been an inch an hour, but on SUM-
day, at $3.50 P. M, 1t had reached dis
tance Of about sixteen feet from the
parent ledge. The crevice is about
thirty ieet deep. The length Of the fall
ing rock is about one hundred feet, the
width about twenty-five feet, and the
weight is estimated to be six thousand
tons. The rock commences just above
the spring near the toll-gate, out of
which, standing under this great mass
Of rock, SO many people have drank,
feeling perfectly secure. When the

The distance between the road and the

IL seems that the memory OF this woman, like
that Of her renowned husband, Is likely 70 be
kept alive to the end OF time. She is said 20
have possessed very irritable temper, and
her name has become synonym OF Svixen,"
or "scold" 1t is more than possible, however,
that the judgment passed upon her by mankind
has been too severe. A more charitable dispo-
sition would undoubtedly have discovered In
her many good qualities, and have attributed
her failings more to physical infirmities than
to moral obliqulty. The party mo st intimately
acquainte with her, and therefore best able to
form correct opinion, gives ner credit for
many domestic virtues. 1t is now well known
that many of the diseases to which women are
irritable, peeyish, cross, morese, unreasonable,
