A Mechanical Horse,

Aningenious gentleman of Berlin, Herr
Frederick Netzsch, has invented a horse.
The animal is made of iron, and the mo-
tive power, instead of being its own legs,
is derived from the legs of the rider. The
IRON horse, as the Berlin papers called
him, showed off his PAGES the other day in
the garden of Hagen's summer Theatre.

horse upon which mounts the rider. The
latter moves his legs "after the English
fashion of riding" (this means, We pre-
sumo, that lie rises and falls in his sad
dle), and the thing goes along as fast as a
quick trOtting horse. The road makes no
difference it is all the same whethert the
machine goes gently over the stones or
moves swiftly on the hard high road
and the facility with which the strange
steed turned round corners excited the
admiration Of all beholders. Herr
Netzsch believes that this invention will
be OF great use TO porters and Others for
the carrying OF light loads, and he has
confident hopes that it will be highly ap-

The Business Outlook.

If we can bridge over this year, re-

of promise. In all directions we see
causes for rejoicing. We have passed

upon us. Everywhere confidence is TAX

ing is manifest in business circles
throughout the length and breadth of
the land.
The New York Herald says: "TLe
country stands at the threshold of a
period of great prosperity, and it will
grow rich. During the next four years
it would require very extraordinary
efforts to prevent the American people
from making up the losses Of the past and
becoming once more the most prosperous
and happy nation in the world"
At no period in our history as a nation
has our foreign trade been so largely in
our favor as at present, and yet there is
an increasing demand for all the products
of our manufactures and our soil.
The Iron Age says; "The outlook for
merchant iron is better than it has been
for months. We do not speak at random,
but from actual observation and informa-
ton gained from a visit to most of the
prominent markets, both east and west.
In the west, especially, there is a decid-
eddy better feeling. a large number of
the Pittsburg mills are refusing orders
unless they a get 2-10c better than
they would take six months ago. This

Central Africa,

Those who have attained maturity
may ~recollect seeing upon maps of Africa
a large blank space in the centre, indica-
ting a land unexplOred and unknown.
Oh late years explorers have pierced its
mysteries. and a%scertained that this re-
gion of great equatorial lakes is one of
the most populous and fertile of the
earth, and that an immense plateau,
among mountains crowned with eternal
snow, is watered by great streams pro-
ceediug from them, and offers climates of
various degrees of temperature. This
inviting land is, however. the abode of
savages, who are at perpetual war with
each other, and who mutually cause a
destruction ofhuman life computed at
hundreds of thousands a year. At least
40, 900 slaves annually captured there,
for use upon the continent, or for
shipment elsewhere. The international
African association. headed bv The King
Of the Belgians, desired to commence the
civilization of the country by establish
ing stations for scientific observations
and for the use and protectionbf travel
ers; and branches of the association have
been formed in several European coun-
tries.

Recent advices from the Black Hills
show that a party Of ninety.eight miners,
with two wcmen, killed more hostile Indians
in a day than General Sherman's i%ll.managed
and scattered army have killed this season.
Coored up behind breastworks, the band of
pioneers repulsed charge after charge, and
dealt death with unerring aim among the
savage foe, who at length withdrew from the
contest, leaving one hundred and sixteen
bodies on the field.

A Bulldog Kills an Alligator.

One day last week an alligator was seen
swimming in Sampit river, neat the
wharf. Captain David Steele's bull dog
was soon brought forward, and, upon
viewing the enemy, plunged off the wharf
to meet it. The alligator saw what was
up, and made or the dog. While they
approached each other, not a sound could
be heard from the spectators, who were
expecting the moment they met TO see
the dog submerged, never to rise again
but the dog got the first hold, plunged
his ugly teeth in the head OF the ferocious
monster, and caused it to sink. 1t soon
reappeared, looking as fierce as ever.
The dog and the alligator we're soon mouth
and mouth nip and tuck, until it was
thought that the dog had conquered, the
alligator disappearing. The dog, being
exhausted, was then picked up by a boat;

Death from Noises.

A literary gentleman once remarked
in n jocose speech, hat it would be an
improvement upon the human body il
we might shut our ears as easily as we
can shut our eyes. If a sight displeases
us, we have but to drop u eyelids, and
we are relieved. But we have ne remedy
against prosy speeches or the firing Of
guns, or the shrek of a whistle, exceptto
remove ourselves from the vicinity OF the
sound.
The iocose remark received a pathetic
illustration in the case of John Leecb,
the artist, whose sketches made the Lon

nerves were in such a state of tension
that he became the tortured victim of

there the din of street bands ANNOYED
him. His sufferings from noises became
so painful that one of the proprietors of
the Punch took him into the country to
stay a week or more. Leech promised
himself much pleasure in being far way
from the noise of the organ-grindeIs,
railway whistles, and the firing of guns.
But the morning after his arrival, the
host was surprised to find the artist ready
to depart. al cannot stay any longer

During the year 1876 the reports of
the British board of trade show that emigra-
ton from Great Britain into the United
States was 54,554, and the immigration into
Great Britain from the United States during
