Mrg. Waiton's Invention.

What Edison, the inventor, failed to ac-
complish, Mrs. Mary e. Walton, the daugh-
ter of q New York blacksmith, has sue
ceeded in doing. Edison was engaged for
months in trying to invent something that
would stop the noise ON the New York ele-
vated railroad, and finally gave'it mp az a
bad job; but Mis-. Walton has arranged
device that answers admirably,
and il is not only making her famous, but
it is putting money into her pocket. 1t ia
simply q sand boz fastened to the rails, and
la complete success as deadener of the
rattling, changing noise which made the
road nuisance. The principle Yves sug-
gested to her by the method adopted by
her father, who stopped the clangor of the
blacksmith shop by setting the anvils in
boxes filled with sand. Mrs. Walton ex-
perimented in her cellar with two bars of
railroad iron, four feet long, laid across a
barrel head, applying the deadening sand
box, and striking with hammer until the
result sought for was obtained. The Met
ropolitan railway company is TO pay her
81, 900 when the contract to use the inyen-
tion on the road la signed, 81, 900 when the
patent is signed, and 81, 900 after one mile
of the sand box is laid. She Ia also to re-
ceive one-half of all royalties paid by other
roads or persons for the use OF the patent.

the prominent men of to-day of whom he
sold the most ergravings. He said:
"I sell the most of Thurman, Conkling.
Ben. Butler, Jim. Blaine, and John Sher-
man. You would be surprised to know
how great demand there il for Butler
pictures. OF the five have just mention d
think the honors woal be divided be-
tween Thurman and Butler, next in order
would be Blaine, then Conkling, and then
Sherman. also have great many orders
for Chief Justice Waite. AS for Hayes,
don't think sell one of his to ten of
Speaker Randall, and yet am on the SEN
ate side. There is but little demand for
Garfield, but some for Sam Cox and Fer
nando Wood and Gen. Banks. OF those
who are dead, the greatest demand is for
Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln. and
Chief Justice Chase, though there is a fair
market for George Washington, Thomas
jefferson, Daniel Webster, Secretary
Steward, Secretary Stanton, and General
Thomas. You would be surprised to also
know the number of engravings sell of
Jeff. Davis and Gen. Lee. The sales of
these two are not SO extensive as those
have heretofore mentioned, but they are
considerable. Grant for some reason don't

A great change is taking place in our
views in regard to the moon, and it may
be that We are on the eve of discoveries
| which will make this csntury an epoch in
| astronomical history. Some American
observers saw not long since crater on the
lunar surface in active operation under con-
| ditiou as reliable as human vision at such
distance can be expected to reach. A
French astronomer has made observations
on grand scale, and confidently asserts
that the moon Is Inhabited
M. Camille Flammarion, the present
originator of this long cherished idea, is a
scientist OF honor and renown, well known
for bis reputation as an observer and an
anthaas,astic writer He has written sevea
raj articles to prove his position, and hi /
determined to devote his iifa to tnls uranvs.
of astronomical research. M. Flammarion
is not in the least discouraged at this ap-
parently insuperable article in the way Of
a solution to his problem, No instruments
on the globe ara powerful enough to afford
q glimpse of our lunarian neighbors. He is
going to have one made that will exhibit
the men in the moon to terrestrial eyes,
without a possibility of mistake. He is
earnestly soliciting contributions to fund
for an immense refracting telescope. whose
estimated cost is million francs, Or two
hundred thousand dollars. This instru-
ment, the astronomer believes, will be ef-
fectual in revealing the inhabitants of the
moon really existing, according to his san
guine faith. Some of the largest refractors
in the world, if used when the air is pure,
bear q power of three thousands on the
moon-that is, the moon appears as if it
were as distance OF 80 miles instead of
$40, 200. 1t can thus be seen that an
immensely increased power would be ac-
quired TO detect small object in the surface.
We trust nj. Flammarion will be sue
cessful in collecting funds fer his monster
telescope, and that he will pick up crowds
of lunarians through its far-seeing eye be-
fore the vision Of tbs present generation
becomes too dim to behold the long wished
for sight. ....7...

Richest Country IN the World,
From the Philadel lkia Inquirer

From the PhiladelJ Jhia Inquirer.
Notwithstanding the fact that the valua-
tion of property Of almost every description
has been reduced by the recent monetary
crisis and general stagnation Of trade. IL Is
believed that the census Of 1880 will show
that the United States il the richest coun-
try In the world. In 1870 the valuation of
oil our real and personal property was over
$50, ,000, ,000, 900, an increase of SI4 000, 600.
600, as compared with the census returns OF
1850. Up to 1875 the growth of our wealth
was very reasonable, and the losses Of tie
war were in great degree made up.
Since that time we have made but little,
and we have lost heavily In our industries,
vet the census will probably show that the
total value or all property, real and personal,
ia the United States will be nearly $5O, 600, :
600. 600 against $42. 600. 900. 600 for Great
Britain and S46, 600. 000, 900 for France. the
two other countries with which we might
raise q comparison.

BABYs FIRST sNow-sToRM.

Ali baby, tits pretty sight,
A scene enchanting, very;
No wonder that you clap your hands
No wonder you are merry;
When first the fakes fell one BY one
They set my baby blinking;
But now the blue eyes watch the pearls
Without 80 much as winKings
See, there they come, with twist and twirl,
AS IL In anger meeting:
And yet they MAKE as little sound
As baby's heart in beating;
They are the types of JOY and peace
Each little drifting rover,
That goes to make the mantle fair
OF charity's sweet cover.
You've seer the sunbeans dancing bright,
You've seen the moonlight, maybe,
But never such sight as THE,
My pretty yearling baby;
For when the ground was white with snow
Last winter, you were sleeping,
A tiny, little helpless thing,
Just from the angels keeping.
Hold out your little. chubby hand,
And catch a Snowflake, daughter:
1t melts within the rosy palm,
And leaves drop of water;
TITS gone, all gone my baby-bird,
Like other feeting blisses;
Or, like your shining April tears,
That dry me 18th mothers kisses.

amuse and make happy the tired man.
woe De to the man, he said, who refills
from the cup! God grves us the wine all
around and above us with which to refill
the exhausted fountains of vitality. Fri
volity was good thing at times. He
would rather have it than the saintliness
which is like heavy wagon body that
presses down the axles, and is heavily Jolt
cd by every small pebble over which the
wheels roll. Returning to his discussion
of exercises, he said that each man must
choose the one adapted to overcome the
weakness caused by his business. It
would be absurd for letter carrier, after
his days work, to take a long ''constitu-
tional." What he wants is company,
cheerfulness and pleasant surroundings
while he rests. 1t would be equally ab-
surd for man engaged all day upon some
abtruse problem to engage at night upon
game of chess, taxing his mental faculties
still more. For him should be the oar, the
walk, the dance. Men ought to choose
their exercises, the amusements, as they do
their food. What disagrees with them
must be avoided. Mr.. Beecher believed in
the theatre, the opera, and hundred other
forms of amusement, but each of them is
adapted to the use of all men. Dancing is
good, when man does something else be-
side dance, and card-playing is healthy
amusement If one does not make business
OF it. Billiards he also believe in, and be
would like to see billiard table IN the
household of every well-to-do family.
What are wanted are more billiard tables

He gave an amusing account of his visit to
the arst billiard tournament held in this
city twenty years ago, and the wonder
caused by his appearance thereat. Refer
ring to the controversy which has been car
led on by advocates of the pulpit, he wish
ed to heaven it would cease, and that both
pulpit and stage should be allowed to go
ON aad be judged by their results. No man
should be allowed to carry conscience for
his fellows. In conclusion, he pleaded for
home, and warned hls hearers against COM
pelling young people to go clandestinely in
search of amusement.

A word unspoken, hand Impressed.
A look unseen, or thought unguessed:
And souls that were kindred may live apart,
Never to meet or TO know the truth,
Never to know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days of wasted youth.
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her tresses swept;
As she leaned to give him the jasmine wreath
She felt his breath, and her face flushed red
With the passionate love that choked her breath.
And saddens her life now her youth liz dead.

And murmurs name beneath her breath;

At women and love in the open day,
And at night time kisses with bitter tears
