New Motor.

Mr.. Wesley w. Gary, of Hunting
ton, Pa, has discovered composition
that acts as an interpose, or cutoff, of
the attractive power of the loadstone.
BY the use of this discovery he has
been able to utilize the attractive
power of the magnet, and apply it
to useful purposes. He has obtained
patent on his invention, or discov-
cry, and claims that any force can be
supplied, from an engine to run del
icate watch, or sewing machine, to a
power sufficient to propel the largest
steamer If this be true it will revo-
lutionize the mechanical world. A
cheap motor is one of the greatest
wants of mankind. The great expense
ofpropelling power has retarded the
progress of the world more than any
thing else. We have long believed
that something of this kind would be
discovered, and we hail this invention
with joy. Mr.. Gary may be placed
among the chief benefactors ofhis race.
There are few things indispensable
to d-food-clothing
light. To obtain these is the great
struggle of life, and he who
invents anything that will reduce the
cost of these essentials is a benefac-
tor A cheap motor will reduce the
cost of all. How to obtain cheap
heat has occupied the mind of practi-
cal and scientific men for centuries.
DIR. Franklin reduced the cost of heat
40 per cent. by inventing stove, but
wise men are not yet satisfied, and
scientists believe that composition
may be formed which will produce a
perpetual heat. They believe that all
hot springs are produced by an acci-
dental combination of different sub
stances in the bowels of the earth. If
this theory should prove correct and
the secret discovered, another great
burden will be lifted from humanity.
Success to inventors.

New Mexico.

The present Congress has been urged
to admit New Mexico as a State, and
when we are told that the Territory
contains $4,000 Inhabitants, many
wonder why there should be any OBJ
j-ction to opening our arms and em-
bracing her as another beloved sister.
But when we learn that $1,000 of this
population are Utes, Nevajoes and
Apache Indians, and always ready to
take an Americans scalp when an op-
portunity offers, we quietly fold our
arms and walk of. There are about
$4,000 natives (Mexicans) and about
1900 Americans in New Mexico. The
balance are Indians.

Rich Without Money.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands OF men with nothing in
their pockets are rich. A man born
with good sound constitution, good
stomach, a good heart, with a pretty
good head-piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold; tough
muscles than silver; and nerves that
flash fire and carry energy to every
function, are better than houses and
land. 1t is better than landed
estate to have the right kind of a
father and mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist amoag men as
among horses and herds. Educa-
tion may do much to check evil ten
denotes or to develop good ones; but
it is great thing to inherit the right
proportion of faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has a good dis
position-who is naturally kind, pa
tient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has
a flavor of wit and fun in his compo-
sition. The hardest thing to get on
with in this life is a mans own SELF
A cross, selfish fellow-a responding,
complaining fellow-a timid, care
burdened man-these are all born de-
formed on the inside. They do not
limp, but their thoughts do.

Mitchell the Murderer Escaped.

SAN BERNARDINo, Jan. 9.-Mitch-
ell the murderer escaped last night
from the county Jail, assisted by
some of his friends who dug a hole two
feet square through the inside wall and
by the aid of sledge hammers and cold
chisels broke open his cell door. The
officers are in hot pursuit, though but
little hopes of capturing him. The
parties who liberated him are sup
posed to be experts from San Francis
co.
We had the heaviest rain last night
ever seen in this locality. Lytle creek
is perfect sea of water and the stages
were unable to cross this morning, and
had to return with mails and express.
But little hopes are entertained of get
ting across this evening as it is now
raining q perfect torrent; the streets
are almost impossible, the water rum
ming down them like a mill-race.

Salary Of Officers.

The wheels of our Legislature, and
of Congress are regularly checked on
the subject of officers salaries. There
are a half dozen Legislators and as
many Congressman who are intent up.
on saving the country by reducing the
salaries of officials. 1t is really get
ting to be monotonous to read the re-
ports of the Legislature. Every two
or three days Mr.. Harris or Mr. some
body else is struck with the idea that
the enormous expenditures of the
State will soon bankrupt every man
in it, and then they get after the poor
clerks of the House and Senate, by Of
fering resolution to cut their sala-
ries down. And Laine proposes to
economize by reducing the salary of
our Supreme Judges so low that none
bnt shysters could be induced to accept
it. The same is true of Congress.
Now the sensible people of the coun.
try are tired of this, and all under
stand that this kind of legislation is
only intended to throw sand in the
eyes of the voters. These poor fel.
lows are shooting at jay-birds for
pecking an ear of corn, while a hun
dred head of swine are devouring the
crop. Why don't they Introduce bills
to reduce the number of officers in
the government-bilIs to visit summa-
ry punishment upon all peculators in
office, embeZzlers and swindlers, de-
linquents and jobbers. These are the
things that burden the people. We
are willing to pay good salaries to
good, honest officers, and we don't ex-
pect to get the best men without pay
ing them we'll; we have had
q cheap class until they have
nearly ruined the country. Any
country will go to the dogs
which is governed by a set of jim
cracks, who will work for the wages of
IA Chinaman. The federal govern
ment, the States and the municipal
governments, have all been running
the machine on the cheap-John plan,
until they have rolled up a debt that
will ensIave us and our children for
a hundred years to come. Brains
brains is what we want and what we
musf have TO lead us out of our diff
culties, and we cannot have brains
without paying for them.

LONDON, Feb. Sth.-Her majesty,
Queen Victoria, opened the session of
Parliament in person. The procession
from Westminster Palace to the
House of Parliament was very impos-
ing. The streets were crowded with
spectators. The Queen was somewhat
coldly received at Westminster. At
her appearance inside the House there
were no demonstrations. The Hall
was quite dark and it was necessary
to have the gas lighted.
The procession that accompanied
DR.. Kenealy on his way to the Parlia-
ment House was stopped by the police
at Whitehall, and only his carriage
allowed to proceed further. The po-
lice seized the banners carried by the
Kenealyists and in the struggle sever
al of the processionists were knocked
down. No arrests were made but for
time there was great deal of eX-
citement and a riot was feared.
The British Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. Sth.-The session of
Parliament opened to-day; slight
snow storm prevailed. Her Majesty,
Queen Victoria in her speech asked
the ratification of the purchase of the
Suez Canal as being transaction in
which the public interests are deeply
involved. Referring to the Herzego-
vinian troubles her Majesty says the
Sultan has been unable to repress the
insurrection, and England has joined
the allied friendly governments urg-
ing the proposed reforms. DR.. Ken

and accompanied by several Magma

The sinking fund propositions of
the Union and Central Pacific Rail-
road Companies, sent to Congress by
the Secretary of the Treasury yester-
day, are those which were submitted
in February, 1875, providing in each
case for the creation of o sinking fund
by the payment Of certain fixed
amounts into the United States Treas
ury yearly, and also the retention by
the Government of all amounts then
or thereafter earned for government
al transportation. Secretary Brstow
expresses an opinion that some such
arrangement should be made, but
leaves it wholly to Congress to deter
mine how and by what means and in
what sums and at what period the
sinking funds should be obtained and
applied. He intimates. however, that
he considers the offers of the two COM
panies inadequate. The Central Pa
cific proposed to pay $780, 900 per an
mum for the first ten years, $3.50, 900 for
the next ten years, and one million
yearly thereafter.
