 A LiIiIputian Steam Engine.

There has been on exhibition at the Franklin Institute, Seventh street, above
 Chestnut, for week past, an interesting and valuable piece of mechanism It is the invention of Mfr. Charles Tyson, q
 mechanical engineer of this city, who has
 at last overcome the difficulties which Lave
 always been experienced in the use of
 steam when applied to any force below a
 One-hOrse power. It consists of a small
 oscllating engine fastened to an iron tank
 large enough to hold about two gillons of
 water. A steam generator the size of a
 quart measure; and pressure chamber
 about half as large, stand in immediate
 connection with the engine-all three coy-
 ering an area of about ten inches, and not
 over eighteen inches in height Under-
 meath tue generator, which is raised some
 three inches above the top of the tank, space is reserved for fire, the entire cOntri- vance weighing about thirty-five pounds. There are no automatic floats, water or steam gauges of any description, to bewlld- CT the uninitiated. but it is of such simple Construction that it will run continuously or any indefinite period, without any other attention than that of fabrication. In fact, any person with sufficient intelligence to apply lighted match to a lamp or gas burner can operate it. Should the engine stop through any accident or other cause, and the fire continue to burn, no accident can accrue, as steam is only produced when the engine is in motion. It is an utter ilnpossibility to explode it, and all that is required is simply to turn on steam when you want it, and turn it off again when you desire.
 It can be shaped into any form or design; and fastened to the wall or hung up against the ceiling. It can be attached to a coffee mill, or placed upon the top of a stove, where the same heat that supplies the room or workshop will furnish steam pow CT free of cost It can be attached to a churn. washing machine, ice cream freezer or the fan connected with the bedstead, the occupant during hot, sultry nights to sleep free of all summer annoy ances.
 As connected with job printing presses, foot lathes, sewing machines, and all ma- chfnery driven in like manner, the public will be greatly benefited, as it is fact we'll known that the labor saved by such means Is expended on the treadle, in the wear and tear oi muscle, and hence the numerous cases of paralysis and diseases of the spine md organs developed by those who use such machines to any great extent.
 As applied to stram fire engines and pas ;enger street cars the short time consum- sd in raising steam, the reduced and com- pact form of tie generator, in comparison with the present boiler, and its non-explo- i've and unskilled- attendance features, are requisites very marked

Spanish Grants in Arizona.

There is no question that some
 valid grants were made, of lands
 now lying within the bounds of
 Arizona, by the government of old
 Spain and afterwards under the
 Republic of Mexico. Quite a num-
 bero of grants are also claimed here,
 whose validity, lncality and num-
 Der are likely to be soon decided
 by q commis ion created by Act of Congress. The matter is one of much importance to Arizona and in this connection we translate the following opinions from the
 Dos Republicas
 Many ot the titles recorded in this Terri tory are deficient ill some requisite de- handed by the Spanish or Mexican laws. But our government, through the supreme court, has ruled with great liberality to- ward land claimants in the many cases arising under the cession of Louisiana by France, of Florida by Spain, and more re- gently under the acquisition of California from Mexico. The following are -oints of interest to Mexicans claiming lands in Arizona:
 1st. If the claimant has done all in his power toward perfecting his title accord ing to Mexican law, a neglect of the proper authorities to comply with legal require ments does not despoil the claimant of his rights or property. Therefore, when the law requires that the papers giving title shall be forwarded to the Mexican gov ernment by the proper officer, after pass ing through the course prescribed by law in the claimants State, even if that officer shall have neglected to perform this duty, the claimant has d right to the land.
 2d. Even if subsequent requirements for perfectlng the grant have been neglected, and no judgment annulling the grant was passed by the Mexican government during its dominion over the lands in question, the United States cannot now take advan- tage of that neglect to deprive the claimant of his property.
 Sd. In case of incipient or inchoate titles, where only part of the legal requirements have been compiled with, if the claimant had acquired such right to the land as would prevent its acquisition by any other Mexican citizen, that fact gave him an equitable title which the United States are bound to respect. In confirming such property to the claimant our government only carries out an agreement of the Mex ican government, whose authority and re- sponsibility it assumed.
 These three points cover most of the objections to confirming Mexican grants in Arizona, that are likely to come before commission.
 The foregoing opinions are giv- en for what they are worth. At least they show the light in which our Mexican neig hbors regard claims to grants of land in Arizona. Under our own laws ownership of land gives title 10 all minerals within it. Our supreme court so decided in the cases of Fremont's Mariposa grant and of the lone Valley grant in California. Many of these Arizona claims are what l are known as floating grants" and, if confirmed, might possibly be fiOated to cover mines lying even to the north of the Gila River. Some of our citizens are positive that the number of valid Spanish or Mexican grants in Arizona is small; we are equally positive that the number of clainis tosuch grants

No SNAP-"One of the most frequent
complaints made by congregations is that
their minister hasn't snap enough. We
wish some of the ministers of whom such
complaint is made, would preach sermon
now and then on snap in which he might
intimate that little more snap in the
hearers wouldn't do any BARN. If congre-
cations had little more snap IN getting up
on Sunday morning, and little more snap
10 getting ready for church, and little
more snap in keeping their attention upon
the preacher, and little more snap in pay
ing their pew rent and subscriptions to
church funds, and little more snap in
recognizing something good in their min
lister and not so much 10 criticising the
minister's occasional dullness, or his wife's
dress and conversation, there'd be more
snap in the man who occupies the pulpit.
There's nothing that will extract the snap
from preachers efforts so efectually as
no snap in the congregation, and a few
sermons on the subject might stir people
up to a realizing sense of the fact that
snap begets snap, and if they want snap
Ply preacher, they must show some snap in
providing him with means of being snap
Ply. One might as well try to be brilliant
IN addressing half acre lot of green
pumpkins, as to show any snap in prepar-
ing sermons for some congregations we wot
Of If We were preacher we'd preach at
least one sermon of which the congrega-
ton couldn't complain because Of its lack
of nap."-Er.
