Wright, Hawley, and Randolph Tucker, also
made speeches. At the close of Mr.. fuckers
speech, the debate closed, and the bill
was considered under the ive-minute
rule. Mr.. Garfield made some remarks, al
the close of which he expressed his willing
ness to help the Democrats wipe from the
statute book the law authorizing the use Of
the army at the polls. A bill for that pur
pose should be introduced in a regular man
ner. Mr.. Rev offered an amendment pro
viding that nothing in the section sha | be
construed as abridging or affecting the duty
or power of the President under the Consti
tuition to send troops on application of the
Legislature or Executive of a State. Mr.
Baker, of Indiana, offered an amendment tc
the amendment, making it unlawful for any
person to have upon his person firearms
bowie knives, clubs, or bludgeons, in the vi
cinity of the place where an election is beips
held. The Chairman, in ruling out Baker
amendment as not german to an army bill
encountered a good share of opposition
from Mr.. Conger, against whom he threat
ened to call in the services of the Sergeant
alarms, to which Mr.. Conger replied will
defiance. Finally, however, the angry pas

There must be some mistake here in
the calculations. Allowing a distance
Of 10 feet from the quicksilver reser.
vOir to the point where it strikes tho
wheel, then the utmost force yielded
by the fall of the 800 pounds OF liquid
metal will be a little less than one
quarter Of one horse power. TO
pump up the liquid again would keep
the brakeman constantly at work. He
could propel the car faster and to bet
ter advantage by simply walking be-
hind the vehicle and pushing il for

with the weight, and cost of 500 lbs.
Of quicksilver, reservoirs, pipes,
wheels, etc. In order to realize three
horse power from a wheel arranged as
above, 10000 pounds, or five tons Of
quicksilver would be required; and to
pump il back the labor of fifteen men
would be necessary. We fear that
the new motor is destined to stand

PIsToLs.-In 81. Nicholas for Feb
ruary, there are some good things said
about boys carrying pistols, and the
results Of this practice. The Deacon
said ~ never could understand why
a boy should carry pistol. A pistol
is very peculiar 6re-arm; it is made
for a very peculiar purpose. 1t is
quite natural for some boys to want
rifles or shot guns, with which they
may kill game; but pistol is made
to kW human beings, so that a man or
a boy ought to be ashamed to carry a
pistol, especially loaded one. The
possession of such thing is a proof
that he expects to go among vicious
people. If he goes into good society,
aud has honest, manly fellows for his
companions, he will not need a pistol.
A loaded pistol in boys pocket is
not only useless and dangerous, but
also il always stamps him as a bad
boy, or one who wishes 10 associate

Many persons are puzzled to under
stand what the terms "fourpenny,"
"sixpenny" and "tenpenny" mean, as
applied to:nails. "FOurpenny" means
four pounds to the thousand nails, or
"sixpenny" six pounds to the thou
sand. and so on. "Tenpenny" meant
at first "ten.pound" nails (the thou
sand being understoOd,) but the old
English clipped it to "ten-pun," and
from that it degenerated until "pen-
ny" was substituted for pounds. y
When a thousand nails weigh less than
one pound they are called tacks, brads,
ETC., and are reckoned by ounces.
