What of 1880?

The issues upon which the presi-
Dental battles of 1880 will be fought
are already clearly outlined. 1t is
not possible that any change can oc-
cur in the relative positions of the
two great parties, nor is it within the
range of human probability that any
question, paramount in Importance to
the American people, can arise to over
shadow the one upon which n Demo
cratic Congress and Republican Ex-
ecutive have locked horns. Assuming
then that the struggle will be between
the friends of fair, free elections, and
no military interference upon the one
hand, and the fast increasing party
of centralizationists and advocates of
an extension of the power of the Fed
eral government upon the other, it
will be interesting to take look at
the field, and note such salient fca,
lures in the campaign as may be visi-
Bile at this early day. When the Re

doctrine that the Federal government

Mother Goose.

No trifing theme is this, for what in
nursery? and who has done more than
the merry hearted mother to make that q
sunny place for the little ones? Yet how
few know anything about Mother Goose.
She is generally concrved of as fcti-
tious character, or perhaps cleaver old
English matron, given funny name just
to make her melodies more pleasant to-
the childrens ears. But Mother Goose,
be it known to young and old, is real
somebody. She is, or was, a live Yankee
woman, with record as clear and unques-
toned as that of Martha Washington.
Here it is, copied with my own hand
from tablet in the "O.d South" historic
hall, where nothing unorthodox could
find an entrance; elizabeth Foster,
known in the literature of the nursery as
Mother Goose" was born in Charles
town, Mass, in 1865; married Isaac
Goose in 1898; became member of the
Old South Church IN $685. The first
edition of her melodies was published by
the son-in-law, Thomas Fleet, at the
printing house in Pudding Lane, Boston,
in 1719. She died in 1857, aged 90
years, and was buried in the Old Granary

Science in America.

Few of the American colleges or uni
versities attain an Eaglish or German
standard. The education they give is
ambitious, superficial. and, therefore, un-
sound. The most highly boosted Amer
lean institutions turn out very few
scholars, though, perhaps, in proportion
to their whole number of pupils, fewer
ounces than their English rivals. In like
manner the Prossoriate, though it includes
men who would do honor to any English
or German university, is, on the whole,
decidedly inferior in depth and thorough
ness of requirement to the teaching
bodies OF France, Germany, and Great
Britain. But in pure science, and in
sciences applied to practical purposes,
the United States hold their own with
any rivals. The Geological Survey of
the Territories is worthy Of comparison
with any achievement Of European en-
gineers and geographers. The naturalists
whom the liberal policy Of the Govern
ment attaches to every expedition that
affords an opportunity Of inquiry into
new regions hitherto traversed chiefly by
hunters, trappers, or traders, have con-
their special opportunities to their several
departments of knowledge. The range
of botany and of zoology has been not
little extended by American discoveries
and investigations; and not the least i'm
portant of those records of geological in
quiry which have brought out new evil

lean astronomers, in particular, rank with

vantage of bringing within the range Of

The Steam Engine.

The Marquis of Worcester is common
ly regarded as the inventor of the steam
engine, but, perhaps, the most that can
be justly said is. that he was the first per-
son that imagined the possibility of con-
structing such machine. The individu-
al who actually first constructed an engine
for raising water by the alternate force
and condensation of steam, was Captain
Savary, who published an account Of his
invention in a small tract, called the
Miners" Friend" In 1705, Newcomer
obtained patent for an improved steam
engine; and in 1717 Henry Beighton
made some further improvements, one of
which Is generally allowed to have been
that OF causing the steam-cock to be
opened and shut by the machinery; a
man having been previously employed
for the express purpose A few other
Improvements We're made by different
persons, but they did not effect the gen
eral action of the engine; and, although
defects in its power had been noticed,
their cause was unknown till 1865, when
happily for the prosperity of the arts and
manufactures of Britain, the subject en-
gagged the ingenuity of Mr.. Watt. The
model of a Newcomers engine fell into
his hands to be repaired, and in this he
presently observed the immense loss of
steam occasioned by It's admission into the
cylinder, just cooled for condensation;
indeed, he went so far as to ascertain by
experiment that half the steam of the
boiler was thus lost. But the circum-
stance that excited his greatest surprise
was, that the Injection water gained in
finitely more heat than if quantity of
boiling water, equal to that required to
form the steam, had been added to it.
In this dilemma, he is understood to
have consulted the celebrated DR.. Black,
whose discoveries on the subject of heat
were then the theme of general wonder;
and from him he obtained such an expla-
nation Of the difficulty as enabled him
SO to alter the construction of the engine
that with rather less than one-third OF the
quantity of steam it could produce the
same power as one of equal dimensions on
Newcomers plan
But great as was this improvement, it
formed but small part Of the successful
achievements of Mr.. Watt in this depart
ment Of mechanics. The application and
utility Of the engine he extended in va
rious ways; and at last arrived at that
climax of improvement which consisted
in making the steam serve to elevate as
we'll as to depress the piston. An engine
upon this plan, executed at Mr.. Watts
maDufactory at Soho. near Birmingham,
was first employed at the Albion mills,

Mr.. LincOln's Honesty.

The following story is told to show the
rigid honesty of President Llncoln's early
life: When he was Postmaster in small
Illinois village word came that the Post
Office agent would be along in day or
two to collect the money due to the Gov
ernment. It was about SIS, and one Of
Lincoln's friends, alarmed lest the young
Postmaster should be embarrassed by the
sudden demand for so much money. Offer
ed TO lend him the sum. Mr.. Lincoln
declined with thanks the proffered kind
ness, and going to the upper shelf of q
closet, brought. down bag containing
the amount in the very coins which had
come into his hands. He said that he
never allowed to use, even for day,
money which was in his possession be-
longing to other people.
