COMMUNICATION.

The Ladies Aid Society of St.
James Church Alexandra, and 9TH
ers, propose giving a Concert for the
benefit of the Church on Thursday
evening, June 81, and do earnestly
make this appeal to the public gen.
orally, to assist them by their pres
ence. Though day has already
been devoted to Thanksgiving for the
settlement Of our political troubles
yet tangible proof of gratitude may
fifty be remedied, by the purchase of
ticket for this Church festival. To
you gentlemen we appeal, do not say
that it is too warm, nor the proper
season for such entertainments, re-
member sit is always the season for
Charity" and when you reflect on the
patient labor of the slender hands
which mix the cakes and custards.
and get burnt over the hot stove, in
this enervating time, for the sake of
that glorious faith which is so rich
in martyrs, surely you can not refuse
your sympathy and support. We
know that money is scarce and oft
times struggle perhaps, to supply
the daily needs Of life, but we ask you
who are generous and chivalrous to
make q sacrifice, and reward the un-
firing toll Of the weaker sex "by the
light of your countenance, and that
kind consideration, GU have hitherto
bestowed on our simple efforts to
please, and we hesitate not to prom
Use you rich musica. treat, the tai
ent of our own girls, which is of q
high order combined with the beau,

strangers who have so generously
consented to lend their aid on this
occasion will place our Concert far
above what is usually presented in 8
provincial town. To "the young
folks" the bound of the light fantas,
TIC toe at the close of the evening
will prove an additional charm
Again we beg Of you to come.
"Come in the evening we pray you, come
adjoining,
Cone when you're looked for, come with

Singing and welcome you'll find here be-
fore You,
And the more that will come, the more
we'll adore you"

in the cars, on legislative floors and
in the busy hives of industry. We

The Elections Yesterday.

On the whole, the republicans got through
yesterday with less damage than they prob
ably expected, in view OF the admitted de-
moraliZation in their ranks. They have
been routed In Pennsylvania, to be sure,
with considerable slaughter but on the other
hand they have made an Unexpectedly good
stand in New York, have carried Massachu-
sets by an unlOOked-for majority, have in
creased their majority in Connecticut, and
have apparently rescued the close state of
Wisconsin from the eXpectant democracy.
Should ii prove that they have really secured
a majority in the New York legislature, en-
abling them 10 re- elect republican Senator,
the net result, including the election OF O re-
publican Senator in Connecticut in place of
democrat, will be sufficiently encouraging
10 them probably 10 induce an effort 70 rally
as party all along the line. AS the repub-
Iican canvass in Massachusetts, was made
upon most hearty endorsement OF the Pre-
sidentS policy, the decided republican
majority may fairly be claimed as trium oh
for the administration. We think this ele-
ment OF republican success is demonstrated
by the unexpected republican cai In Bos-
ton, where independent papers like the Her
aid openly urged the support OF the republi-
can ticket on the ground that its defeat would
be TO weaken the power OF the President
'iwho, in less than half year of official rule,
has given peace 10 all sections of the coun-
tTv, and, under the most adverse clrcum-
stances, inaugurated the great work CT re-
storing the civil service to that condition of
integrity and honor which existed in the
earlier days of the republic, before To the
victOrs belong the spoils became the shibbo-
leth of parties"

Steam Cars ON the streets

The experiment of the substitution Of steam
for horses a. a motive power on street rail.
ways seems TO be a success. II Is likely that
time and the inventive genius OF America
will bring about many imprOvem snts in the
details of the method OF applying steam II
this use now employed; but the great PROB
lem of a nOiseless and, compared with horse
power, an inexpensive motor. has been ap-
pareDtly solved. The efforts OF some OF the
best machinists in tie country have been
turned in this direction ever since the panic
of few years ago pa. stop to railroad
activity: aud the result Of their labors may
be seen in the successful exparin 1ent in Pail.
adelphis. The characteristics OF the Phila-
delphia car are, as stated, a vertical stesl
boiler which displays great strength with
little weight, and the capacity of running
smoothly On about eight pounds OF coal
mile, with no smoke and with noiseleSs and
invisible exhaust steam. Steam motors
weighing from 1900 to Il ODO pounds con-
structed so as 10 be substituted directly for
horses by attachment 10 the front of an orii-
nary street car, were first built, and have
come into more general use than the Phila-
delrhia car, but it would seem that the
smaller space occupied by the latter car will
lead TO Its adoption in crowded cities The
fact that the machinery is Independent of the
car body, and may be obtained of dimensions
To fit any ordinary horse-car. will also
greatly facilitate It's Introduction in our
cities.
Several advantages of the use of steam for
this purpose are claimed. First, there is a
great saving OF expense. The actual cost of
steam motor for one day Is only little
more than one half the expense of two-
horse car, without taking into consideration
the saving in stables and real estate, and the
decreased expense for taxes, insurance and
repairs which this saving implies. Speed
and power are largely increased. Mud and
slush, however great an obstacle TO the sue
cessful exertion OF horse power, are no IN
pediment to steam. ParadoxicaI as 1t NAV
seem, IL Is insisted that there Is increased
safety resulting from the use of steam. By
the employment Of a powerful brake and the
reversal Of the engine, stoppage can be ef-
fected, II is asserted, in about half the space
required by an ordinary horse car. There is
lastly, minor gain in the point OF comfort
In the winter, pipes running under the seats
OF the car are kept filed with the exhausted
steam, very happy arrangement In the
opinion OF shivering passengers. There
would seem TO be a probability that these
cars moved by steam would brighten horses
on the streets, but ii is claimed that this is
not the case.
The use OF these motors has extended very
rapidly since the first one was constructed,
and now besides being extensively employed
In The United States, they may be found in
Cuba and Russia.
