Waiting Sixteen Hours.

The N. 7. World of May 1st says yester
day Prof. Cartier accomplished the feat of
waltzing f6 hours without stopping, a feat
greater by two hours than anything of the
kind before attempted. To make his task
more difficult he announced that he would
dance only with women. This was piece
of great Gelf-sacrifce on his part, as people
who attempt to waltz for many hours are
accustomed to rest themselves by having a
strong man carry them around. He began
at o'clock in the morning, his partner be-
ing Miss Sadie ieopoldti, his sister-in-law.
who danced with him for four hours. At l
o. clock Mrs. Cartier took Miss Leopoldti's
place and danced with the Professor for two
hours. In the evening Miss Yetman, a
young woman from Newark, danced with
him. Before she began she said that she
would dance one hour, and she die, although
towards the last she was Somewhat tired.
Prof. Calsier danced on a part of the floor
in front Of the platform, separated from the
rest of the hall by row of benches. Out
side Of this space the floor was crowded With
dancers. Up to tho end the Professor
seemed to be fresh, and during the last half
hour was especially active.

JAY GoULD's PAPER.-A little over Ave
years ago, the Tribune association had a
surplus of 100000, and half its original
stock was valued at $500 900. To-day it
has no surplus, and half it's original stock Is
worth nothing at all. 1t is true that it nonl-
inally possesses large building and some
adjoining real estate, which are, assessed for
purposes of taxation at $40o, 600, aud whose
market value is, therefore, about $500. 900.
But as the Mutual Life Insurance Compa-
ny has mortgage of $500, COCOON the build
ing and its adjuncts. al as Jay Gould holds
S549,250 of "buildirs notes. for which
that structure supplieI the security, it is
plain that the TrG5nre association's real es-
tate must figure AM ing its liabilities in
stead of its assets. Mr.. Gould, having sue
ceeded in exchanging $500, ,0o0 of his build
ing notes for an equal amount of new stock
OF the nominal value of %, 900 SHARE, now
announces that he feels 6 altogether COM
Portable over it" That might have been
taken for granted, thought it is just posi-
BILE that his co-partners may not entirely
participate IN his satisfaction. .-Ne0 York

The Edison Speaking Machine.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Mr. Edison, the
inventor of the phonograph, gave exhibi-
tions with the Instrument to-day at the
Capitol in presence of q large number OF
Senators and Representatives. Messrs.
Garfield, Cox, of New York, and others
spoke in the photograph and their voices
and speeches were reproduced with remark
able accuracy, the volume and popularity
of sound and emphasis of each speaker be-
ing plainly recognized. In an interview
published in the Star Mr.. Edison describes
amarvelous discovery recently made. He
says: "Night before last found out some
additional points about the carbon which
use in my carbon telephone. 1t may be
used as heat measurer. 1t will detect
one-ffty-t -thousandth of a degree, Fahren-
heit, I don't know but what can make
an arrangement by which the heat of the
stars will close the circuit at the proper
time automatically and directly. It is a
curious idea that the heat of a star millions
of miles away should close circuit on this
miserable little earth, but do not think it
is impossible" OF che practical uses for
which the photograph may be made avail
able, Mr.. Edison says: 81 expect to have
my improved phonograph ready in four or
five months. This will be useful for many
purposes. A business man can speak let
ter to the machine, and his Office boy, who
need not be shorthand writer, can write il
down at any time, as rapidly or slowly as
he desires. Then we mean to use it to en-
able persons to enjoy good music at home.
Say, for instance, that Adelina Patti sings
the Blue Danube into the phonograph,
we will reproduce the perforated tinfoil on
which her singing is impressed, and sell the
sheets. It can be reproduced in any par
lor with equal fuilness and about one-half
the original volume. In the same way the
tones of great elccutionist can be pre-
served and heard. The President of the
American Pathological Society wants one of
my improved monographs to preserve the
accents of the Onondagas and Tuscaroras,
who are dying out. One old man speaks
the language fuently and correctly, and he
is afraid that he will die. The phonograph
will preserve the exact pronunciation.

Rerningtons in Trouble.

NEW YORK, May Be. Remington q
Sons, manufacturers of rifles, ammunl-
tion, etc., at Ilion, n. Y, became financial
" embarrassed, and have submitted their
affairs to their creditors. They propose to
issue bonds to run for FIVE years at seven
per cent. interest to creditors for the value
of their claims, secured by mortgage on
the armory building at lion. Their liabill-
ties amount to million and their assets
amount to four millions, but not immedi-
ately available. The assets consist OF the
armory at Ilion, with real estate and ma
chinery valued at $1,000, 900, finished arms
valued at about 100000, and claims
against the Egyptian and Mexican gov
ernments for about $500, 900, bills receiva-
ble open, accounts, and material now in
process Of manufacture. The liabilities
are mainly on promissory notes, and are
distributed all over the country. A meet
inc of the creditors was held few days
ago at Ilion, at which the affairs Of the
company were discussed, and the credl-
tors expressed themselves In favor Of aid
| ing the company. IN order that the busi-
ness might continue without interruption.
The matter was submitted to the NeW
York creditors to-day, and they accepted
the proposal. The cause Of the trouble IS
| supposed to be the inability offoreign gov
ernments to pay the claims for arms. .s

The Internal Revenue Tax Bill.

WAsHINGToN.-The committee on Ways
and Means has reported the Internal Reye-
nue. Tax Bill. The main features of the
bill are reduction of the tax on manufac-
tured tobacco from "a to Is cents per
pound, a reduction of the tax on cigars
from $6 to S. per 1000, reduction on Gig
arettes from $l.75 per 1000 to $1.25, and
the restoration of the tax on incomes in
excess of $4,000 per year, the rate of tax
being fixed at 2 per cent. Before report
ing the bill, the committee abandoned the
graduated proposition and fixed it at the
uniform rate of 2 per cent. on all sums in
excess of the amount exempted. The in
come tax provisions of the bill are made
operative on and after July 1, 1878, special
provision being made for the assessment
and collection of the tax for the last six
months of the present calendar year. The
p1ss, will u6Ureasv
ceipts of over $3,OO0,0O0, without taking
into account the additional expense that
will be incurred in collecting the tax from
incomes. u
During the last fiscal year the quantity
of tobacco which entered into consumption
and upon which tax of 24 per cent. per
pound was paid, was about 100000
pounds, and the number of cigars which
paid tax of Sc per 1000 was over 1,e0O,-
000,0 The reduction ,,roposed on these
two articles and on ci s4festes would be on
tobacco over $4,000, 600, and on cigars and
cigarettes $1,250,000, making a total of
$40, 900, 600. Against this loss the tax on
incomes is provided, from which, accord
ing to the estimate of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, there would be received
about So, 000, 900 annually. twill thus be
seen that the net loss to the annual revenue
by the bill just reported would be in round
numbers about $4,000 Add to this
the loss which would result from the pas
sage of Mr. Woods tariff bill, according to
the estimates presented by the Bureau of
Statistics, and we have an aggregate loss
to the annual revenues through the legisla-
tion proposed by the Committee on Ways
and Means of absut $12, 600. 900.

The Latest Cold Field.
Baltimore Bulletin.

The latest find Of gold which promis-
es great results is IN the Island of Papua, or
New Guinea, and this discovery is of char
acter SO significant as to cause considerable
excitement in the adjacent continent of
Australia. The gold is found in black sand
placers,in conjunction with magnetic oxide
of iron, occurring there insmali scales, none
of which SO far weigh over grain. Il is
also found IN quartz rock, and the existence
of gold bearing quartz in considerable guam
titles is Enthusiastically proved, while all the
geological indications are favorable TO an
extensive development of the gold fields.
Several expeditions are about to sail to Port
Moresby from Australia already, and, should
the discoveries turn out to be rich, there
will doubtless be rush of gold hunters
thither frum all parts of the world before
many months, and the experiences Of Cali
fornia, Australia and New ZeSand will be
repeated In New Guinea.

AMERICAN PADDLE.WHEELs.
THE STEAMER MASSACHUSETTS MAKING 81
MILES AN HOUR ON HER TRIAL TRIP.
From the N, Y. World. April 18th.

From the N, Y. World, April 18th.
In order to test the efficacy and efficiency
of the new American paddle-wheels, a pair
of which have been put into the steamer
Massachusetts,, of the Providence and Ston-
ington Steamship Company. that vessel
rescued, it will be remembered, from the
rocks of Long Island, and now stronger and
more handsome than ever-made short
trip up the Hudson, as far as Piermont and
back, yesterday. Among her passengers
were many prominent steamboatmen, all of
whom commented upon the wonderful
speed of the boat.
Starting from pier 30 North River, the
Massachusetts, went up the river against
the tide but returned with it, made the
distance from Yonkers to Warren street.
just II miles-in 464 minutes. The
average speed of the vessel during the en-
tire trip was 20 10 miles an hour, and the
average revolutions of the wheels, 21I a
minute.
The propelling surfaces of the new wheel
do not act on the water vertically, as is the
case with the wheel in common use, but are
set and fastened to the arms at an angle to
the shaft. The paddles or blades enlarge
in width OH curve from the inside to the
outside of the wheel. The smaller end, or
that next to the boat, enters the water first;
thus the action is gradual, cumulating and
increasing in resistance to the outer end.
The column of water pressed against is an
angle outward from the boat, as in the ac-
tion of the oar blade. At the emergence
the smaller end comes out first, the action
gradually decreasing to it's completion at
the outer end. AS the surface of the pad
dies from the inner to the outer arms at the
periphery falls gradually from Eerpendic-
ular or radius to The shaft, this instrument
is perfect feathering wheel, although sta
tionary in all it's parts. The effect of this
feature is to press the column of water
horizontally back, leaving but little or no
appearance of cycloidal action in the track
of the wheel.
The paddles or blades are twisted and
OulSCu W b0O1i OC0A oh tAAO cA AOAA
operation on the water is by pressure, and
not by impact, as is the case with the wheel
in common use. The area Of each of these
propelling surfaces is about twice as large
as that of the ordinary paddle, but they are
only one-half in number, and are therefore
twice the distance apart. By the angle,
shape and curve of the blades, which in
combination give gradual action, the new
wheel avoids the great loss of power en-
countered by the vertical wheel in its vio-
lent impact and percussion on entering the
water, and its defective operation at the
emergence. The power thus saved, it is
claimed, is utilized by the new wheel in
quently greater speed to the boat. As a
logical sequence, if the new wheel does
more work with the same power, it is man
ifest it will do the old work with less pow
er. This more perfect utilization of the en-
gine power, it is said, amounts to about so
per cent. in fuel.

MONACO.
PARADISE ON EARTH WHERE EVERY
KNOWN PERFUME Is MADE.
Monaco Correspondent.

MoHScO correspondent
| Eye hath not seen, no, tongue can telP'
the beauties of this paradise on earth. It's
climate is several degrees milder than that
OF Nice, or even Cannes, which fact explains
my having fingered here so long. 1t were
lngratitude to feel the aches and pains of
humanity beneath so bright sky. with so
blue sea before one, and breathing such
pure air; and the fact is that, contrary to
what one meets with in other Mediterrane.
an towns, pale faces are rarely seen or bad
coughs heard, and by repeated morning
walks and charming excursions | have
learned to know and love Monaco and it's
enyirons.
The aromatic atmosphere justifies it's title,
Perfume Laboratory" and we under
stand that in by-gons days, when these
rocks had little or no value, they were
leased, nevertheless, for $1,000 year to
clever perfumer, who sold his little vials at
one guinea apiece. To-day this ground
represents value of $s,000,O00 Hotels
and villas, with the least ground possible,
supplant past aromatic herbs, but in every
fissure and neglected corner they raise their
heads triumphantly and throw upon the
soft, warm air a perfume of indignant
right.
Above and around Monaco they still
reign in uhdisputed profusion, and the es-
tablishment of Monte Carlo has fabric de-
voted to perfecting every perfume. Its
eau de Cologne alone has attracted repu-
tation which throws that of Jean Marie
Farina quite in the shade. One of its res
ervoirs contains 2,1o0 litres, and I may
safely say it is the best eau de Cologne
made. Not only perfumes but liquors of
all sorts are extracted from the Monaco
herbs.

The white petals drop one by one, 81
And the tulips pale stock from the garden is lifting
goblet of gems TO the sun!
Come ramble awhile through this exquisite weather
Of days that are feet to pass.
When the stem of the willow shoots ..out green

And buttercHps burn in the grass!
When, pushing the soil from her bonny pink shoul-

The clover glides forth to the world
And the fresh moses CLEAN on the gray rugged

With delicate May-dew impearled!
The brook in the pasture has hidden its pebbles,
Full flooded with April rain,
And listen my love to the silvery trebles
That ring from the blossoming lane!
