Gen. BurgoyuO with his whole army
surrendered to Gen. Gates at Saratoga,
New York. lIc had taken command
in the summer Of lii Of about S,OOO
men which force was ordered to enter
the State Of New York and operate
against tho revoltcd colouists. This
would not have been considered much
Of an army in the lat, civil war. but
when the country was sparsGIy settled
eight thousand British regulars were a
formidable force. It may not be gen
orally remembered that this British
officer bad a son, who attained much
greater military distinction thaa bis
father. catering the royal engineers
as second lieutenant iu lT9S, he
slowly hut steadily assembled in his
profession during period Of seventy.

have "donc more under Grc than any

Saratoga relieved New England, New

Politics IN virginia.

The Richmond IIhig predicts that
not Virgiuiau will be elected to tho
State Legislature who takes the position
that the taxation should be increased
pay in full tue interest upon tho State
debt. lu nearly every county where
conservative nominations have been
made the nominees have declared
themselves in favor Of a ''rejustmCnt,'
by proper aud Legitimate means, of the
State debt. General Fields, the pomi-
uec for attorney general, was the
original choice Of the MahOn party for
tia! Office, but it need not be inferred
,hat bis position on the debt question
is in any sense hostile to tho platform
upon which any other nominee would
have had to stand.

Il Chicago Mas llnycntiOn.

Mr.. S. II. Smythc, Of No. III West
Twelfth Street., Chicago, has on cxhi-
bition a motor Of model construction,
aud for which lie anticipates great
things. lie has been at work upon
The motor for nearly three years, and
obtained a patent on it July Slst last.
The patent is for "aa improvement iu
motors" and tho Specifications set
forth that the machine consists Of an
iron irauu work, on the lower part Of
Which is i drum, round which cord or
cham is wound. Then there are a
number Of connecting cog.wheGIs ar
ranged in tho main frame with pull
lcys, over which the cord passes. The
power is furnished by means OF
weights suspended by the cord. a
leading feature Of the invention is a
peculiarly constructed slotted lever, by
means OF which the power is applied to
the mac chinery. The general cxplana'
ton Of tho whole nsrair is that by
mcaus of cord to which weight is
attached, passed over u drum aud
through q combination Of pullOys.
power is obtained. The machine which
Mr. SmytlO has now on view is one
fourth tue size which it is Intended to
manufacture. On being set in motion
it worked mcrrily along aud continued
to pump a full stream Of water through
a half iuch pipo during the wholS ex'
animation. The weights aggregate
about 300 pounds, aud have drop"
Of about six feet. Tho machine is
wound up by means Of n crank, mud
will run four and onc.hOlf hours at q
stretch. pumpiug steadily all tho timo.
It is expected that the full size ma
chimes will run from Gig ghtcen to
twonty-fOur hours. quarter Of an hour
being occupied in winding up. Tho
inventor claims that tho motor will
prove specially adapted for pumping
water for railroad tanks, irrigatiug, aud
general farn purposes, aud that it will
entirely supcrcCdc winlmills and horse
power machinery. lIo believes that it
eau be manufactured Us chcapIy rs u
wiudnlilI, uul that as the cost Of run
ring is nominal, it will recommend it.
self on economical grounds. As it is
ouly necessary to wind it up oncO q
day, no watching being required tho
idea seems feasible one. The inven-
tiou has been examined BY several rail-
roud officials, WHO think that it eau be
utilized for filling water tanks, and 1t
is probable that it may sooa have u
practical trial.

A Discreet Gambler.

lie Figaro tells neat story Of the
last days of the Hamburg gaming
tables. A German officer paid visit
to the trente-et-quarante table one
day, and beginning with very small
stake, happened to light upon Sc
ries by which he won $4,000 in half
an hour. The veteran gamblers pre-
dicted that he would be tempted
back to try his fortune, but day after
day passed without his entering the
casino. At the end of three months
his regiment having received orders
to march, ION the following morning
he sauntered into the room, and ia
king q double form from his pocket
staked 1t on the black and lost. Ali
the gamblers expected that he would
double the stake and in the course Of
an hour lose all that he had won
when he was there before. But he
turned on his heel and walked out OF
the room, muttering, ~ never have
any luck at this game"

Hot water for Wounds.

Hot water in the treatment of
bruises and wounds is strongly advo-
Gated by certain medical authorities.
In proof of its efficacy, the New York
Medical Journal cites the following
case 1.-THE hand of q workman in a
machine shop was crushed under the
fall Of trip-hammer weighing 700
pounds. The hammer was arrested
when within half-inch In its bed,
but the palm of the unfortunate hand
receiving the blow was reduced to Q
pulp. The metacarpal bones were
extensively comminuted, yet, in the
hope of saving the member, it was
kept immersed in hot water for two
or three weeks, and then taken out
and dressed. In three months the pa
tient was dismissed from the hospital,
and in nine months was able to move
his fingers and demonstrate that he
still possessed q useful hand. The
temperature of the water employed
in such cases being about l03 degrees
Fahrenheit.

Boys Learn the Value Of Money.

From Hunts Merchants Magazine.
A silver dollar represents days
work Of the laborer. 1t is given to .
boy. He has no idea of what it cost,
or what it is worth. He would be
as likely to give q dollar as a dime
for top or any other kind of q toy.
But if boy has learned to earn the
dimes and dollars by the sweat of his
face he knows the difference. Hard
work to him is q measure of values
that can never be rubbed out of his
mind. Let him learn by experience
that q hundred dollars represents a
hundred weary days labor, and it
seems great sum of money; a thou
sand dollars is a great sum of money,
and ten thousand is almost inconceiv-
able, for it is far moro than he ever
expects to possess. When he has
earned dollar he thinks twice before
he spends it. He wants to invest it
so as to get the full value of days
work for it. 1t is great wrong to q
boy and to society to bring him up to
mans estate without this knowledge.
A fortune at twenty-one without it is
almost inevitably thrown away
With it and little capital to start on
he will make his own fortune better
than any one can make it for him.

General decentralization seems to
pervade the produce markets Of Chi

pork and wheat seem to suffer most,
especially the latter, which declined
from lO@l2c in Chicago, 9@l5 in st.
Louis, and 3@4c in New York. The
Bears having succeeded in breaking
the prices on these three great pro.
ducts. viii probably keep 1t up until
they reach the point from which they
originally started. Flour viii be like.
ly to follow in the footsteps Of wheat
and settle back to something like .
reasonable price.
