4 Remarkable Wasps' Nest.

A few days ago the time ball Oh the

this city had to be replaced by new
one. The workmen, who went up to

operations with surprising abruptness
and unanimity. 4 colony Of wasps had
taken possession of the ball, and were
quite unwilling 70 surrender their airy
quarters. Indeed, il was with consider
able difficulty that they We're finally
smoked out.
The surprising feature of the affair
was not SO much the unwilingncss OF
the wasps to surrender their home rs
their taking up with it in the first place.
When iii position for its noon fall the
ball rests at the top Of u pole, go feet
above the sidewalk; and, mt the tick OF
twelve, drops 20 feet. That the wasps
should have borne with this daily distur-
bancc Of their dwelling place is proof OF
their tenacity of purpose, to say the
least. Whether Their persistence was
due to practical wisdom or to Inherent
stupidity is n question for SirJohn Luh.
book or Prof Riley TO decide.

A LETTER from q gentleman who

Grant in the East, and who writes
from Athens, reports that General
Grant watches even y at home closely,
and in all his conversation and dis

supporter Of the present Administra
tion. He always speaks IF President
Hayes in the most friendly manner
and with the warnest wishes for his
success. A letter received here some
time agn from a gentleman who had
been with General Grant for some
time before he left Europe for the
East, reported in like manner that
the General expressed the most per
feet satisfaction with the Presidents
southern poiicy rs being both wise
and necessary. In fact from all that
IS certainly known here it would
appear that General Grant must be
counted among the strongest sup
porters of President Hayes.

Mr.. Keely and His Motor Exploded.

A dispatch to the New York Times.
dated Philadelphia, March g, says:
"The Keely motor, which has Gre
ated SD much comment, has been sub
jec:ed to a severe test by Mr.. j. B.
Knight, Secretary of the Franklin
Institute, and a well-known scientific
engineer, MIR. knights exsmina-
tions have extended through period
of five months, and, as result OF
his Iabors, the alleged wonderful
Keely motor takes a back seat, being
under a cloud. Mr.. Knight init
mates that the gauges on the motor
registered apparently 1000 lbs. to
the square inch, but he has reason to
suspect that the gauges were altered.
He holds that the machinery is made
large and massive for the purpose of
misleading those who care to view it
and every one else, and that there is
no occasion for it. In operating the
engine NO vacuum was produced or
utilized as claimed.
"Samples Of Mr.. Keely's 'vapor'
were submitted to c. NJ. Crcsson,
NJ. D., the well-known chemist, for
careful analysis. BY his report it
was seen that the so-called 'vapnr' is
merely atmospheric air, and that the
pressure in the tube was only 225
pounds, instead of the 1900 pounds
claimed. In conclusion, Mr.. Knight
drew the following conclusions:
First that the machine called the
'multiplicator,' with its attachments,
including the so-called 'reacting
device, are not capable Of producing
the effects claimed, and their enor-
nous strength is entirely unnecessary
in sustaining tbs pressure to which
they are subjected, hut are rather
calculated to astnnish and mislead
Those who witness his experiments.
Second, that the extreme high press
ure claimed was not produced, prob
ably in no case exceeding 500 pounds
per square inch, and that the read
ings of the gauges and weighted
lever apparatus were incorrect. Third,
that the sn-called vacuum was not
produced by the condensation or
absorption Of the alleged yapor, but
by mechanical means, such as
previously exhausted chamber or
its equivalents. Fourth, the sub
stance used or claimed by Mr.. Keely
To be new .vapor Of his own discov-
cry, is simple atmospheric air which
had been previously compressed and
stored up in the various hollow
spheres and other chambers Of the
apparatus in the intervals between
the experiments. As might be ex.
pected, Mr.. Keely is angry at these
revelations, and the stockholders,
who have expended q million Of
dollars, are aslonished. Kelly pro-
poses to give two public exhibitions
a week with the motor in an endeavor
to demonstrate that it ia not u fraud"

THROWING HAYES OVER,


A Washington dispatch Of the 9th
instant says: Last nights meeting
Of the Republican Congressional and
National Committees was called to
t',row the President overheard on the
Threshold IF the next campaign. The
talk was that the party could get
along better without him; that he
had destroyed it in the South and
crippled it in The North, and did not
treat prominent Republicans with
common ,lecency; that he was not
frank or truthful and seemed not to
grasp the situation. Foster, Page
and Phillips conteDded it would he a
most short-sighted step to bresk with
the President and would prove fatal
IL the next campaign. Foster was so
reused that hemadc long and Wig
orous speech, covering the whole
ground If the Southern policy and
defending the Presidents civil ser.
sice reforms, alleging that no scan'
dals had been attached to any Of the
Presidents appointments like those
which Grant had suffered. No IN
Outstanding was reached"
We fear that the success OF the
Republicans in the Congressional
elections this year depends a great
deal more ON the faults, blunders and
natural tendency of the Democratic
leaders to antaeonize the popular p"-
litical feeling of to-day, than on the
good sense and tact of the Republic
cans in Congress. All management
of party machinery is not conferred
in the Washington Salons, however,
aud their disposition to sacrifice the
party to personal spite will most
likely be restrained by their constitu-
ents, who have NO quarrel with the
President.
The politicians who managed at
fairs Of state on high-pressure prin.
ciple during the administrations of
johnson and Grant seem 10 be en-
tirely ignorant of the fact that the
people have pronounced an unmis-
taxable verdict against them and
their policy, and they imagine that
to sheer at all reforms and all efforts
to reduce appropriations is the best
way in which to propltiate popular
favor. They assert that civil service
reform Is a failure, but they do not
tell US that Republican Senators and
Congressman have done all they
could to make it failure. They say
. great deal against the President,
but they forget their own agency in
weakening the Republican party
every where to such degree that the
Democrats have controlled the House
in the last two Congresses, and have
already elected majority Of the
Senate in the next Congress. Presi-
dent Hayes had no part whatever l.
bringing about this disaster.
The decline Of the Republican
party dates from the time, during the
administration of Andrew johnson,
the powers Of the Executive were
usurped by Congress, in the passage
Of the Tenure Of Office Act, depriving
the President of all power to remove
disbonest, corrupt or negligent Off
GERS and leaving him a mere figure
head of the Government. From that
day corruption increased in every
branch Of the public service. and
much af the odium put upon Grant
should have been charged to these
same leaders who are now logging
