At late exhibition in Falmouth, En-

tied, which Is certainly remarkable, if it
does one-half of what is claimed for it..
According to the official description of
this friend of the shopkeeper, 1T will
check every penny taken and paid better
than keeping a cashier and using check
books. 1t occupies no more time than
the ordinary till. If an assistant should
take money OF a customer and fail to put
1t IN the till, it can be detected at once.
Ii only part of the amount is put in, it
will show how much has been withheld.
If any cash has been taken out, it will
show the amount. The till cannot be
opened without its being known, and
the number OF times. 1t will show how
much money there ought to be in at any
time. Any amount of change can be
left in for use, and yet none can be
taken away without It's being known.
1t can be left any length of time with
out being cleared, and will show the
amount there ought to be in without
counting the cash. 1t can be used as a
desk, or set in level with the counter-top
II required. 1t shows the number of
customers waited upon by each assistant;

Anecdote of Henry CLAW.

A correspondent of the Albany Jour
nal relates the following incident of one
OF Henry Clay's visits to this state "Mr
Clay went to Undertook to visit Mr..
Van Buren,. The town was filled with
people from the surrounding country,
and at reception they were presented
to Mr.. Clay by Mr.. Van Setback, prom
inent lawyer of the county. Among
those who came to be introduced to Mr.
Clay was very beautiful young lady.
1t happened that just at the moment OF
presentation her name awkwardly slip
ped from Mr.. Van Schaick's memory.
His hesitation naturally embarrassed
the young lady. Mr.. Clay, perceiving
this, came instantly to her rescue by
saying IN his chivalrous way: ooh, the
name Is Of no sort of consequence, Tor
Judging by the young lady's looks she
will very soon change it,"

Silent Locomotives.

The Boston Transcript says of the new
method of the Ashton Valve company of
that city for silent boilers, which does
away with the roar of steam from loco
motives, that call the overplus of steam
steam is blown silently and invisibly into
the tank, where it is supplied to the
boiler. 1t saves coal, for the waste is
utilized, while the engine steams more
freely, labors less heavily with its burden,
and does its appointed work with far less
wear and tear, from the very fact that
warm water instead of cold is pumped
into the boiler. This little piece of
mechanism stands complete in itself, and
has vindicated its power on some twenty
different roads, which are using or adopt
ing it with results which place it among
the great railroad Improvements of re-

Great Apple CrOD,

This years apple crop is now gathered,
and 1t is one of the richest the country
has ever had. In some regions apples
are so plenty that they are fed to pigs,
COWS and horses, and the cider mills are
everywhere pressing out more cider than
they can readily dispose of. This very
palatable and healthful drink may be
bought in the.cOuntry at 81 and $3.50 a
barrel, and it ought to be on draught in
cities at price which would tempt the
poorest customers. There is no need of
anybody's drinking sham cider this year.
The real juice of the apple is plenty
enough for any demand there is likely
to be for it. A splendid apple crop can
fortunately now be disposed Of to much
better advantage than formerly. An ex-
tensive European demand for our apples
has grown up recently, and this autumn
we are exporting more of them than
ever before, though the prices are very
low, running from IS cents to $l.62 a
barrel, according to quality, so great is
the supply. Vast quantities of apples
are regularly shipped to Europe by
steamer. The manifest of one vessel
from this port last week showed that she
carried 4,6z1 barrels, and all the out
going European steamers are weighted
with them. A Boston steamer took
5000 barrels last Wednesday, the largest
shipment of apples ever made from that
port. Three steamship lines from Bos-
ton have engaged to carry more than
40, 900 barrels, and the export from New
York will reach an enormous and un-
precedented total. If the fruit is care
fully picked and selected and well
packed, 1t reached Europe in good con-
dition and brings a fair profit to the
sender. Apples ought to be plenty and
cheap in England this autumn.--New
