The experiments, which have been made
on the upper part of the track where the
grades arc very steep, are SAID TO have

can be started and stopped by one lever,
and the entire mechanical arrangement
is very simple. The directors also assert
that they can store sufficient air i'll the

hours are occupied in charging the re-
ceivers, but machinery has been ordered

Answering with n Sheer.

To Mr.. Montgomery Blairs calm, logi-
cal, patriotic proposition to investigate
the Presidential election and determine
who was in reality rightfully chosen, no
argument, no fair, intelligent answer is
interposed by the Hayes Democrats or
the Hayes Republicans. 1t is not met
by argument. But one response has been
attempted from any quarter, and that is
q sneer.
The proposal IS of the gravest charac-
ter, and the circumstances are snch as to
demand its serious consideration. We
do not suppose any one doubts that a
majority of the American people are of
the opinion that Mr.. Hayes was not le-
gally elected. 1t will hardly do to treat
with contempt the conscientious bell ef
of majority of the whole American
people.
If Mr.. Blair's plan can be met by any
sound argument, let us hear it. We are
ready to listen to all that can be said
against 1t. We are welded to no par
tlcular scheme. All we insist on is that
there shall be thorough, authoritative
examination into the whole matter in
some form.
1t goes far to indicate that Mr.. Blair
has hit upon practicable and sensible
plan, when we consider that nothing has
yet been offered in opposition to 1t more
formidable than senseless sneer.-N. Y

A second was the man with whom she

About Parrots.

Deacon Green was talking about par
rots the other day. He said he once
knew parrot that was not as polite as
"Pippity," the one mentioned in story
called "Tower- Mountain" The par
rot that he knew would swear whenever
he opened his bill. It had been taught
by the sailors on board the ship in which
it had come from South America. When
the deacon knew it, it belonged to the
widow of very strict minister. It had
been brought to her by her nephew, q
midshipman, as Christmas present. 1t
was lucky for him, just then, that the
old lady was stone deaf. She was very
cross with the neighbors when they told
her what wicked words the bird used.
It was great pet, and she would not
believe anything bad about it. But at
last it swore at visitor who was bishop,
and, soon after, it was no more.
Since the deacon told that story have
had paragram about another parrot, i;
one that lived in Edinburgh, Scotland,
five years ago. This one could laugh,
weep, sing songs, make noise like
smacking the lips," and talk. Ills
talking was not merely by rote ; ne
would speak at the right times, and say
what was just right to be said then and
there. He spoke the words plainly,
bowed, nodded, shook his head, winked,
rolled from side to side, or made other
motions suited to the sense of what he
WAS saying. His voice was full and
clear, and he could pitch it high or low,
and make it seem joyful or sad. Many
curious tales are told OF him, but the
most remarkable thing about him is that
he actually lived and really did the
things named, st, Nicholas.

ceived from the New York post-ofice,

piece of roast veal, several pounds OF
jer..ed vension, and several buffalo
tongues, potatoes and onions, pound
of butter, loaf OF fruit cake, q lot ol

Counterfeit Greenbacks.

The treasurer of the United States fur
nishes the following description of the
recent counterfeit five dollar notes on
the Central German and Union National
banks of Chicago, and the Farmers
National Bank of Virginia, I'll. These
counterfeits were all made from the
same plate as the "Trader" of Chicago,
and are printed in. this way: The coun-
terfeiters printed a number Of notes
from the "Trader's" plate, leaving the
words National Bank of Illinois" and
as a number of these notes are still in
the hands of the counterfeiters, they are
enabled, by having the title printed in,
to make new counterfeit. This is the
way the fves on the Aurora, Canton,
Paxton and Peru banks we're made. ALI
genuine five dollar notes on the Central
and German National banks of Chicago,
have the name of Jno. Allison as regis
ter, while counterfeits have the name of
S. B. Colby as register. All genuine
fves on the Union National Bank of
Chicago are dated January IA, 1865; the
counterfeits are dated Nav 10, 1865. AL
genuine fves on the Farmers National
Bank of Virginia, ILL.,, are dated Sep
tember l, 1855; the counterfeits are
dated May 10, 1866. The public will dc

ished bills are still in existence and COR

Words Of Wisdom.

Despair has ruined some, but pre-
sumption multitudes.
Delays increase desires, and sometimes
e1tinguish them.
Let them obey who know how to rule.
The near miss of happiness is q great
misery.
Haste trips up it's own heels, fetterf
and stops itself.
Look well into thyself there is q
source which will always spring up i
thou wilt always search there.
The virtue of a man ought to be meas
ured, not by his extraordinary e1ertions,
but by his every day conduct.
LiberaEty, courtesy, benevolence, un.
selfshness, under all circumstances and
towards all men-these qualities are tc
the world what the inchpin is to the
rolling chariot.
The truest help We can render to an
afflicted man is not to take his burden
from him, but to call out his best
strength, that he may be able 70 beal
the burden.
Hearts more or less, I suppose, most
of us have, but we keep them so close
cased and padlocked-we wear an out
side 80 hard or dry that little or none
of the love that may be within escapes
to gladden. those around us. And 80
life passes without any of the sweetening
to society that comes when attectlon is
not felt but expressed.

A Mont Committal Captain.

Captain Ward was an eccentric OF the
first water, and one of his peculiarities
was that he never gave the desired an.
swer to direct question. An amusing
instance of this evasive habit is related.
One morning, four of his friends, who
were aware Of this trait in his character,
observed him going to market, and after
some bantering, entered into bet as to
the practicability of learning from him
the price he paid for his purchase. They
accordingly settled the preliminaries,
and stationing themselves at different
points along the street which he must
pass on the way home, awaited his COM
ing. Very soon the bluff old gentleman
made his appearance, with a bunch OF
pigeons in bis hand. As he approached,
the first questioner accosted him with:
"Good morning, captain What did
you give for pigeons this morning?"
Money" said the captain bluntly,
as he moved up the street. ..
The second gentleman, little further
on, addressed him and asked,-
'.How go pigeons this morning, cap
tain ?"
"They don't go at ALL carry them!"
was the equally unsatisfactory reply.
Shortly after, he met the third, who
passed the time of day and inquired
Glow much are pigeons q dozen ?"
"Didn't get dozen-only bought
half dozen r. said the old gentleman,
grufly, still plodding on his way.
conspirators, cottoned to the wary old
salt, by observing in the blandest Of
tones,-
"a fine let of pigeons you have there,
captain; what did you get them for?"
"To eat?" was the pertinent and
emphatic reioinder, and the captain
reached home without further molesta
ton. If the pigeons did not take wing
the Joke did, and has been handed dowr
by tradition to the present day.
