manufactured velocipede with which
he proposed to travel into Texas. Hav
ing become possessed Of two two
wheeled yel0cipedeS, such as were in
common use few years ago, he pro-
ceeded to fasten them together to run
on a railroad. Wooden aXleS were
constructed so that the machine could
be adapted to any gauge OF track;
broader tread was placed on the wheels
to which were ad dded tianges made of
whskey barrel hoops; levers were fitted
TO give means for using the hands as
we'll &s the feet to gain notiNa paSuar.
the whole arrangement was given a
cover of red paint, and it was placed
on the track at Garland ready for ser
vice. The machine weighs about forty
pounds. and is easily handled. The
operator sits on a seat resting across
what were the two seats of the old We
locipedes.

noon for the East. Our informant tells
us that he saw Johnson near Goldsmith
rancho, and tried to keep up with his
Car on good horse. but the animal
was soon distanced. The engineer of
the eastern-bound passenger train met
Johnson at Apishapa.
Johnson is an Old railroad man, and
always provides himself with a time
card, so that he can keep out of the
way of the regular trains. His appara-
tus is so light that it can be moved
from the rails in moment.

Perpetual Motion ACCOMPLISHED.

a magnetic clock, invented by Dan
lei DraWbaugh, of Milltown, Cumber-
land county, Pa, says the Harrisburg
Telegraph, is sufficiently remarkable to
be worth description The magnetism
of the earth, an inexhaustible source of
power. is made to Oscillate the pendu
lum; and the simplicity of all the works
gives an assurance of the least possible
friction. At a certain point the move
mentS of the pendulum itself shut off
magnetic connection with the earth,
and at another point restore the con-
nection, thus securing the conditions
necessary TO produce its oscillations.
The works are SO ingenious and simple
that il is no wild assertion to make
that, were it not for the unavoidable
wearing out caused by even the small
est amount of friction. the clock would
run as long as the solid earth endures.
This clock is hung against board par
titiOn, with all the works exposed, sub
ject to the Earrings Of machinery and
distractions from dust settling upon it.
yet, since March l, 1877, it has been
running continuously and uniformly,
with only slight reported variations. as
tested by transit observations ut noon.

Massachusetts has established a new
reformatory prison for women in Sher-
born, and put it under the immediate
control of women. The experiment is
hotly discussed by Boston philanthro-
pists, many of whom regard it as un-
wise. One of the writer's favoring it
mentions the success of the great prison
for women in Woking, near London,
the superintendent of which is Mrs.
Gibson, "a lady of education and good
family, quiet and unpretending in man
ner, but with IA power of wise control
that had been exercised with so much
success in smaller institutions, where
she had worked from motives of chari-
ty. that this great prison was built on
condition that she would take charge
of it.''

BrilliantS.

1t is far easier to feign respect when
we do not feel it, than to express it
when we actually DO; for which reason
frank, straightforward people always
appear hypocritical to suspicious ones.
The very fear of seeming decei;ful
makes Us seem SO.
Some there are who gaze intently in
to the well of truth, but only in hopes
of seeing their own image reflected
there.
Fancy rules over two-thirds of the
universe, the past and the future, While
reality is confined in the present.
Men get fond of the very defects of a
woman they love as they do of choco-
late and tobacco, though horribly un-
palatable at first.
Good sense is the body of poetic gen
ius; fancy, its drapery; motion, its life;
and magnetism, the soul, that is every
where, forming all into one graceful
and intelligent whole.
Little minds rejoice over the errors of
men OF genius, as the owl rejoices at an
eclipse.
Gray hairs seem like the light of
soft morn, silyering over the evening
of life.

Are There any Jewish MiIlers!

This question is asked of the Ameri-
can Miller, which replies:
Our correspondents say that they are
pretty we'll acquainted with millers
throughout the country, and do not re-
member to have seen a Jew engaged in
milling. They also tell us that the
agency of Il. q. Dun & Co. report
the very same thing. We do not re-
member ever seeing Jewish miller,
though we have no doubt that such
have existed. In the Iialcyon days of
the Jewish nation, every family had its
mill, though the women seem to have
been the millers. Perhaps an inherit
ed prejudice against the occupation as
an effeminate one may account for the
absence of Jews il the calling at the
present time.
