The Woolwich Arsenal in England
has been of late busy in preparing bal
looms for the African war. The largest
is called Saladin, and contains 80,
cubic feet of gas. There are also the
Talsnan of $4,000 cubic feet, the
Saracen of $4,000, the Vidette of
$4,000, and little balloon named the
Pilot of 600 feet. Arrangements have
been made for Geographic communica-
tions with them, when aloft, by means
of wire running through the cable re-
straining them. Means have been also
found for reinforcing them with gas
while in the air. This latter process is
not explained.

1DIyIsEON CHANGES.
No Prospect OF the Machine shops
Being Moved Before Next Win

The Reno. Gazette, which is ac-
knowledged to be authority on rail
road matters, says it is certain that the
engineer department has recommended
change of divisions, and demonstrated
the fact that it will effect a saving of
seven engineers and crews besides
many other things. The Board of
Directors, however, is somewhat broken
up, and the matter stands in ''statu
quo" Governor Stanford is sick and
Mr.. Huntington is east, and without
their advice no change will be made.
The probabilities are that when the
new ferry goes into operation the move
will be made, at least so far as passen-
ger trains are concerned. 1t is thought
that conductors ON the overland trains
will run between Benicia and Reno.
Freight trains leaving Sacramento will
do way work and change crews at
Truckee, while those running from
Rocklin will come through to Reno
One or two swing trains will run be-
tween Truckee and Reno, a switch
engine and prLsher will be kept at
Truckee besides the fire train. So that
place will be very little changed, while
Wadsworth will be merely way
station. Winnenmcca, however, will
be the repair station for all engines
running east of the Summit.

THE Baptists of Dover, Me-, were
without pastor. A young man came
along, introduced himself as the Rev.
Mr.. Stedman, preached few trial SER
mons, made a most favorable impress
sion, and was permanently engaged.
He soon married deacon's daughter,
and his remarkably fine sermons sus-
tanned his popularity, although his
wife and others observed that he was a
little inclined to firt with the girls.
But the church is now agitated by the
discovery that his sermons have all
been stolen from the Rev. DR.. Storr' S
works, and that he is no ordained
Clergyman.

Fatal Coincidence.

The Battle Mountain Messenger says,
f. ID. Hawke was instantly killed in the
Eagle mine, in Lewis, on the evening
of the 18th INST, about six o'clock. He
was about 10 years of age, from Sucker,
st. Austele, Cornwall, England. Has
wife in the old country who was with
him out here, only about six months
ago and went home on visit. Hawke
had been in Lewis about four months;
came from Cornucopia. Had a brother
killed in the Leopard mine at that place
some eleven moths ago. He was a
member of Cornucopia Lodge l. o. @.
f. Members of the order in Lewis
took charge of the remains and took
them to Battle Mountain, where they
were received by Battle Mountain
Lodge No. 81, and buried with the fun
eral rites of Odd Fellowship.

Lewis HILL 1t carries considerable
galena, and is considered rich in silver.

From the New York Sun. !

"When men vote, and when their
chosen officers meet to. conduct the
affairs of their political Governments,
no soldiers can interfere. This limit to
their antagonists no politica, party can
safely pass. "
So said William NJ Evarts at a mass
meeting of the people of New York,
dozen years ago, when as yet he had
never dreamed of linking his political
fortunes with those Of the then un-
known man Hayes.
can armed force in the neighbor-
hood of the polls is almost of necessity
a menace to the voters and an interior
ence with their freedom and independ-
ence.
SO said George w. McCfary, in his
book on elections, before he had lent
himself to Hayes.
"Civil liberty and standing array
for the purposes of civil police have
never yet stood together, and never can
stand together. .
So said William III. Seward, speaking
with the same Wholesome adherence of
military interference with the rights of
the citizen which led the founders of
Government to circumscribe within the
narrowest limits both the size and the
functions of the regular army.
But now we see Hayes, in his veto,
marching beyond that limit in party
manoeuvres which Evarts once declared
unsafe to pass; insisting on that right
of using troops at the polls which Mr..
McCrary declared to be a menance to
the independence of voters; and intend
ing to make that use of standing
army as police which Mr.. Seward de-
clared to be incompatible with the con-
tinuance of liberty.

Successful Experiment.

A short time since, says the Phoebe
Record, an article was published in the
Record-U Union showing a process for re-
ducing rebellious ores that had been
tried successfully on the Meadow Lake
ore, heretofore rehellious. John Steele
and Tommy Harmon would try it, so
they selected a lot of Galena ore, with
out regard to it's value, heated it to a
strong heat and then placed it in a
solution of salt water and potash.
This dissolved the ore without the pro-
cess of crushing, and they afterwards
amalgamated.it it, producing, as result,
SOS per ton in silver. The tailings left
were then taken to the assayer, who
made a return that there was 50 Ia in
them. 1t can be judged whether the
process is a success or not.

| 234 and 235 Broadway,
NEW YORK, October ID, 1873.
CHARLES SCHROEDER, ESQ, Column
bus, Nebraska, Dear Sir: Yours of
9th received with two advertise
ments from the JOURNAL or rather
one sdv't of Mary f. Becher and an
! editorial notice of a call for a meet
| ing signed by Al citizens for Octo-
Der II, at 2 O'Clock.
l think you wrote us that Mrs.
Becher's husband had the Osgood
patent aud it is this that she claims
under. The Osgood patent is not
for a driven we'll, but for a peculiar
shaped point. Patent 1888, Oct.
l6, 66. The claim is 1.-THE combina-
ton of the spiral wing or wings "h"
with the shank Z and tubing A OPP
Grating substantially as and for the
!. purpose herein set forth"
This patent cannot be used with
out infringing the Green patent, and
is not worth two cents if ii was not
an infringement. This patent has
been set up with perhaps thirty 9TH
ers as q defense to our claim but has
never been pressed but always
! thrown out as having no connection
or bearing. 1t is simply for a tool
to be used in making wells, and
E; don't pretend TO be for the well
itself. The patent is styled ga new
and useful improvement i'm sinking
well tubing" and that tells the
whole story. If parties used
Mrs. Becher'S patent in putting
driven wells, they must pay her for
using il as well as paying US, but
| the chances are one hundred to one
that nobody used her patent. II
her husband used it every well he
put down is liable 10 Our royalty.
These combinations are neither
new nor formidable. Only three
have ever fought a case through,
aud each of the three were defeated
and paid up. Lots of others dis
banded and paid, some after spend
ing a few thousand dollars in taking
testimony, but most OF them before
getting that far.
When we get prepared with coun-
sci in Nebraska, shall straighten
them up, but cannot attend to it Just
now. Give all a chance TO pay the
five dollars as directed, and after the
time elapses all others will pay ten
dollars. People will not be such
fools as to fight a patent that has
been sustained in three circuit and
the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia, and concerning which no
adverse decision has ever been Civ
en-. Please report and remit as per
agreement, and all in good time
your delinquent friends will receive
attention.
Very truly yours,
WM. ID. ANDREWS Il Bro.
Everybody must know that only
one party al have a patent on the
well itself. We have that patent
and you have the documents tc
prove il.
