A NEW mode of heating the cars on the
New York elevated railway has been ex-
perimented with. On both sides of each
car, under the seats, are placed inch and
quarter steam-pipes. These run
through galvanized sheet-iron cylinders
about five inches in diameter, the space
between the pipe and the cylinder being
compactly filled with fine sand. The
pipes are connected with the locomotive
boiler. While waiting at a station,
steam is forced into the pipes, and the
heat is taken upand radiated by the sand
in the cylinder. The New York papers
represent the experiment as having been
quite successful.

ACCORDING to the London Spectator,
the telephone has been adopted by the
Chinese, the telegraph being useless, as
they have no alphabet. Five hundred
miles have already been spoken over in
China. 1t would be very singular if We
should receive back from the Chinese
suggestions for the practical use of the
telephone,-which would, however, only
be another illustration of the proverb
that Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion," and also of application. In these
days of scientific surprises and sudden
reversal of relations, such result is not
altogether beyond the bounds Of pro-
bility.

THE three American colleges in Turk
ey, which are located at Constantinople
Beyrout and Aintab, are doing a work
of inestimable value for that unhappy

Italian, French, American, Sweedish,
Turkish, Tunisian, Dalmatian, Russian

GERMAN newspapers daily mention
the fact that Germany is, if possible,
more sadly plagued with tramps than

by any dearth of work to be done, fol
while the natives of the fatherland are
tramping idly about the land, hundreds
of industrious Italians are employed il

THE disagreeable weather of Thursday
and Friday compelled the managers OF
the county fair to postpone the closing
until Monday. 1t was very unfortunate
that the weather proved unpropitious as
it must have interfered materially with
the arrangements made and prevented a
number of exhibits from being brought
to The grounds. On Saturday the wealth
or was SO cold as TO be decidedly uncom-
Portable and on Monday the rain again
| interfered somewhat with the pro
| gramme. Taking these unfavorable cir
| cumstances into account the fair was as
successful as could be expected. Though
/ the exhibits were not numerous they
were quite creditable. The animals ex-
! hibited were such as would 90 credit to
any county but there were by no means as
many as should be entered. Manitowoc
is an agricural county and the farmers
generally are interested in its produce.
4 county fair IS farmers institute
where the results of certain kinds of
management may be observed and COM
pared. Every farmer should have an
ambition to excel in his calling. I'M
provement can come only from effort
and competition. i county fair should
be one in fact as ell rs in name and
every town should be represented in the
exhibits rs well as in the attendants.
Every one can not get premium, but
general competition has the effect Of
stimulating farmers TO greater effort and
as a consequence enhances the reputation
of the county. The agricultural resources
of the county are largely judged from the
success attending its fairs. and therefore
the people should labor to give them the
largest measure of success possible.
On Saturday large crowd was in at
tendance. 4 trotting match for which
three horses were entered did not at
tract much attention, as it did not in
clude horses which had made much of a
record on the turf. \ racing match
between four horses was very closely
contested the horses being quite evenly
matched. A fair record was made.
But two heats were run, the
same horse coming in ahead in both.
The test of draught horses was the best
exhibition of the day. Three teams COM
peted for the prize but it was evident
from the first effort, that the prize lay
between the teams of 81. Classon and
Griffin. Classon took the first prize and
earned it by splendid exhibition of
muscle.

GEORGE ". ALLEN,

A change has come over the spirit of
George ". Allen, and instead of whole
sale denunciation of democrats, he dis
cusses very learnedly and very forcibly
the finance and commerce of the country.
His speech of last night was exclusively
an advocacy of honest money and con-
tanned no filings at parties or sections. 1t
was surprise to the many democrats in
his audience whose experience with Mr..
Allen led them to expect the usual man
Hesitation of partisan bitterness. His
speech was mainly historical and contain
ed scarcely an allusion to party.
When Mr.. Allen stated in opening his
speech that the only issue between the
parties to-day is the question of finance,
1t must have brought to the mind OF his
hearers the issue of two years ago as
stated by the same speaker Southern
claims, the restoration of slavery. the
domination Of the south and TIE dissolu-
ton of the union were then u : things to
be dreaded. But there is the same rea-
son to-day to believe that these dangers
are impending. There has been no
change Of conditions which should make
the republican party believe that the
spirit of these threatened dangers is laid.
A republican campaign speech, not
largely devoted to the reasonable de-
signs of the south, Is something so in
consistent with the prevailing idea of
the eternal fitness of things that we are
taken aback and can only look upon the
phenomenon like ''wonder wounded
hearers"

HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX.

TIE unfavorable weather of Monday
night prevented many from attending tn,
lecture on Abraham Lincoln by Hon
Schuyler Colfax. A number from the
country would have attended but for the
inopportune rain. 4 fair audience was
present nevertheless and the proceeds
betrayed the expenses of the lecture.
Mr.. Colfaz was introduced by J. d.
| Markham in a few well chosen words OF
commentator.
The subject matter of the lecture was
excellent, scholarly in style and quite
earnest in spirit. hIr. Colfax's intimate
/ acquaintance with President Lincoln, en-
abled him to fully observe those noble
! traits of character which SO endeared him
! to the people. Knowing him as he did,
and fully approaching his nobleness OF
heart of which his lecture gives so many
( illustrations, it is only natural that the
| lecture should be tribute of affection
to departed friend. Mr.. Colfax does
not give biography of Lincoln nor an
| analysis of his character, but what is
more entertaining, number Of personal
"reminiscences. The lecture is designed
to portray him in the light of good
man rather than III the light of great
man. We have him sketched as a pri-
vate individual, rather than as historic
character. While the native strength of
his mind receives some attention, those
powers which make him prominent
figure in American history are but lightly
touched upon. There is great amount
of interesting detail and but few of those
touches of a master which outline the
character of man who guided the ship
of state through the breakers that threat
ened to overwhelm it and who struck the
manacles from an oppressed race. Lin
coins kindness of heart and his humor-
Gus peculiarities have impressed them
selves so deeply on Mr. ColfaS, that they
appear to him az the most salient fea-
lures in his character. The audience
are agreeably entertained by interesting
sketches and anecdotes of man whose
memory, they respect, but the grand per-
sonage Of an age is not photographed for
the gallery Of history. As an intelligent
friend Of ours remarked: ''The lecture
would have been capital ten years ago,
now it is only interesting"
Mr.. Colfax's articulation is decidedly
faulty. There is a syllable indistinctDess
and hurried utterance which makes it
extremely difficult to follow him. His
style of delivery is somewhat mechanical,
and beside be suffered from hoarseness.
Those faults detracted a great deal from
the lecture whose many excellen ces have
made so deservediy popular.
