Invention Of "a colOroa Nississippian.

Ben Taylor, a colored man living
in Mississippi, has lately returned
from Washington whittier he has
been to secure a patent for a new
steam engine which he has invented,
and which, if the judgment of many
experienced and scientific men TO
whom he has shown his model, is
correct, is calculated TO revolution
ize the present application of steam.
The engine is rotary, having the
steam applied at the circumference
of a wheel, giving this treble the
force of ordinary engines, with no
distinguishing Of power at the vari-
Gus stages Of the revolution of the
wheel. This invention dispenses
with all the machinery except the
one wheel, which answers at once
the purpose of cylinder and driving
wheel, and two steam boxes through
which the steam Is applied. Il is
estimated that engines on this plan
can be manufactured at one fourth,
or less, the cost of those now in
use, and simplicity and the possibil-
ity of extremely light weight will
extend the use Of steam engines be-
yond The present limit. Ben Tay-
Tor, the inventor, is a sort of me-
chanical genius, having before man
iiested an insight into mechanics,
Of no ordinary degree. His inven-
ton, If nothing fails--and probable
tiles are in his favor-wlll rank him
among the first inventors of the
day.

ter a drive of about 10 miles, at IL
o'clock we arrived at the place. The
morning was warm, nevertheless

this anniversary in a beautiful
grove of majestic oaks. There were
two addresses delivered in the fore

A MYSTERIOUS VOLCANO.
One Of the Most Wonderful and
Startling curiosities in the
World.

Ashville, N. c., Special to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat: The IA,
nous Bald mountain is again in a
State of agitation. Yesterday some
parties who visited the famous
place found that the rent across
the mountain had become wider.
The discovery of this chasm was
first made public in the Globe.Dem-
ocrat two months ago, and a full
account of the internal commissions
given then. The rent in the noun
tain is row considerably wider.
The Globe-Democrat correspon-
dent, in company with many citi-
zens, visited the place to-day. Upon
looking into the chasm an entrance
to an immense and apparently I'M
fathomahle cave is seen. 1t is now
a settled fact that the whole noun
tain is hollow, thus making one of
the most wonderful and startling
curiosities in the world. During
the week occasional rumbling noises
have been heard in its bowels, but
whether they proceeded from seeth-
ing, boiling lava, or other equally
mysterious causes is yet to be as
certafned.
Crowds of visitors are docking
here hourly, and are gazing into
the mysterious volcano,i if such 1t is,
with a feeling of awe. Arrange
ments are being made for a thor
ough exploration of the mountain,
but so far there are but few men
who are willing to be first TO start
on this underground journey. AL
ready there are wild and mysterious
stories afoat which are believed by
superstitious. 1t is stated that last
night figures could be seen through
the chasm, moving about in the
great subterranian halls of the
mountain by the light of torches,
whose occasional flashes, darting
through the clefts and crags, struck
terror into the hearts of the simple
Again it is said
that these mountain gnomes are
more than a gang of unsub-
dued illicit distillers, who have
made good use of the place, aud
use the noise to Brighten people
away. The mystery whatever it is,
will be solved in a few days.

Calls it a swindle.

The indianapolis Sentinel SAYS:
The great(?) race between Ten
Brock and Mollie Mccarthy was
run at Louisville yesterday, the 4.h.
and was witnessed by not less than
$4,000 people. Doctors, lawyers,
bankers, politicians and stationery
men, and not n few who were not
stationery, were weltering in the
sun to witness the grandest swindle
ever perpetrated on the American
people. The races preceding the
len Brock race were very tame,
particularly the three quarter dash.
The time made in that race was not
as good as we have seen candidates
make from ward TO ward on the
night preceding a convention. At
about o'clock the racers were nut
in the ring, and il was easy 20 be
seen that Mollie had some friends.
The horses got a good start and
for the first two miles many be-
lieved the mare would ges away
with the horse, but on the first half
of the third mile the horse took the
lead and kept il, and at every iump
until the race was ended widened
the distance between him and his
competitor. That the last two
miles was a walk-away no one seems
to deny. She apparently gave out
on the third mile, and all the spur
ring and whipping would do no
good. The race over and Ten
Brock won, having made the four
miles in eight minutes and nineteen
and three-Quarter seconds. AS tho
horse came under the home line his
friends seemed TO lose control Of
themselves, and would have taken
him up and carried him in their
arms.

That Reverend Fraud Again.

Chattanooga Times: As previ-
ously stated in these columns, that
ministerial scamp, S. j. West alias
L. G. Bostwick, is now preaching
for the Baptist Church at Green's
boro, N. c., where he married a
young lady, member of an inauen-
tial family. A photograph of West
and other documents, were sent to
the Clerk of the Church, who wrote
Maj. Conner to "come on at once
and identify him." Maj. G. being
unable to go, w, w. Simpson, Esq,
undertook the task, and left for
Greensboro Saturday evening. Yes
terday he telegraphed to Maj. Con
ner as follows:
ait is he. Has strong backing
outside. Brethren afraid TO move.
What can / do"
To this Maj. G. immediately re-
piled:
'Cousult the best lawyer in the
place. Do your duty if the breth
rem are too cowardly 10 aid you"
This is q pretty commentary on
the church at Greensboro. Here is
a man shown by Indisputable evil
dence to be a scoundrel of the dark
est die, polluting the sacred Office
of the gospel ministry, and marry
ing one of the members in the face
of former declaration in their pull
pit that he was q married man, and
yet "afraid TO move" Those timid
brethren will find Mr.. Simson de-
termined 10 at least expose the
scamp, il he cannot put him in the
penitentiary, where he belongs.
West goes by the name Rev. J.
w. Fackler in Greensboro. lie
had been there and married before
he visited Chattanooga. When he
ran away from here he returned 10
Greensboro via Louisville. Reach
ing Greensboro he gave out that he
had been absent in Washington and
Louisville. He never alluded 20
Chattanooga, Columbia or Pulaski,
Tennessee, neither did he tell OF his
exploits in Canada, but claimed 10
be Fackler. having preached in
Georgia, and held letters from DIR.
Spalding, Of Atlanta, and others.
This is all our information at this
writing. AS the matter progresses
we will give the facts. IL Is the
checklist piece of brayado on
record.

to be well pleased, and we are COM
PEELED to say that they are the most
hospitable and sociable people we

But to return to the proceedings
of the day. We then had the highly
appreciated privilege of an intro
duction to the board of managers,
Messrs. Robert Long, Del. Spears
and o. E. Card, all of whom are
heightened gentlemen, with courte-
Gus demeanor, ever willing and
ready to administer to the wishes
of all present. A grand dance was
to take place in the afternoon; con
sequently the sale-of tickets for the
ball aad supper began. The stage
was soon filled to overlooking, and
the tripping of the light fantastic be
gan. We are compelled to say that
the grace and beauty brought into
action can rarely be surpassed. The
strictest order was maintained, and
not boisterous word was heard to
mar the peace of this gay assembly.
Until IL o'clock the dancing was
kept up; then all people dispersed
TO their homes. The courteous de-
meanor of the gentlemen was wor-
thy of all praise, and to the beauti-
full ladies let me say,may your paths
be strewn with flowers; may the
beauty, grace and loneliness which
you now possess ever be yours, and
in conclusion, may your pathway
through life be one of pleasure, and
wherever you go the best wishes of
your humble friend for your happi-
ness and prosperity will ever be with
you. IKE.

III. A. Sharp, Esq, of Decatur,
Ala, received the Dmocratic nomi-
nation for the Legislature LAST week,
although he was no candidate. Tho
committee appointed TO notify him
and solicit his acceptance did so in
the following terms, which in these
times of fraud, and corruption, and
wild hunt after Office, are compli-
mentary indeed:
ave need scarcely assure you that
it affords us much pleasure in con
veying this intelligence, and trust
that you will find IL consistent with
other duties TO accept the nomina-
ton which has been so satisfacto-
rily made by the Convention,
and 50 well merited by yourself.
We are gratiiied at the fact that
your nomination, by an intelligent
constituency, TO Oil the important
Office of Representative, was un-
sought and unasked for by yourself,
as 1t is a return TO the practice of
former, and we may truly say, bet
ter days of the Republic, and car
ries out the only correct theory
that the Office should seek tho man
and not vice versa.
Hoping TO have your favorable
response, and assuring you of the
united and unlimited support of the
Democratic party"
We congratulate the nominee.
He is a lucky fellow, and must be a
worthy one, for besides all this he
married one of the sweetest girls
belonging to one of the best families
in America.
