AN INVENTION OF BEssEMER. Bessemer in. vented atan after time another process of great
 value in the arts, which reduced the price of
 an article much used. This, teo he deternin- ed to keep secret; so he devised that the es-
 sential part of the manufacture should be con- ducted by self acting machinery, to which no
 one should have access but himself. Thus,
 while in the outer part any common workman
 could be employed, he prepared an inner de-
 partment. For this, having planned the ma chinery, he had the several parts made in three or four establishments, and when they were
 delivered on the premises he fitted them up
 with one relative privately at night. This is one of the most remarkable incidents in the annals of industry-the fast locked chamber,
 holding within it's unseen and mysterious mon
 ster at. work by day orby night. while the me-
 chanics who labored without its door and looked on it could not penetrate within. Even the eldest son of Mir. Bessemer had reached man
 hood before he ever went within the forbidden
 chamber or held It's key The materials were cheap, the demand for the manufactured arti- cle steady, and high price for it has been
 maintained, from which Mir. Besseiner has re alized a handsome fortune, though small in
 comparison with the earnings of his greater 1 inventions. -L London Society.

r. A WHEELBARRow JoURNEY.-Leon Peter Federlneyer. Frenchman, started from San Francisco with wheelbarrow on the Sth of December last; and arrived at New York on the 24th of July. 4 purse of $1, 800 was made up for Federmeyer, to be given to him should he beat the time of Lyhian Potter who went from Albany to San Francisco with a wheelbarrow. James T. Fuller accompanied the Frenchman, to see if he did his work fair ly. The two encountered many incidents l; met Indians, tramps, and many. kind people. They travelled in the Sierras when the ther- nlometer was considerably below zero, and at times had tough job on hand. They carried magazine rife, and this on one or two occa- sions protected them from Indians, who shot at them, and tramps. They saw no formida- ble wild beasts, but shot rabbits and other game They procured the post office stamp at each office they passed; also notary's seal, official signatures, etc, among them some Chinese signatures, They kept diary, filling good sized volume. The men slept out Of. ten, but sometimes in huts, railway depets, hotels, etc. They are very brown and hearty, and have gained strength by the voyage. The wheelbarrow was sniall with a solid wheel, and carried the kit of it's driver, which, with wheelbarrow, weighed 133 pounds. l. ...o4e

The Transatlantic Circus had lively day at Leesvilie, Ind. Some sharpers who accompany resident with cards, snatched his money and hid in one of the tents. Soon after ward one
 of the women equestrians stole a watch from
 mans pocket as she passed through the crowd. The robbed men fired into the tents with their revolvers. The showmen retaliated by seizing three villagers, dragging them into a tent, and whipping them soundly with raw

NEWSPAPER MEN IN PARLIAMENT. - In France, and, indeed, all over the Continent, the editors of newspapers are among the most popular candidates for Parliament In Eng land, the editors of papers seem instinctively to abstain from offering themselves for seats
 and it cannot be said that the contributors to journals, who are fairly numerous, find any favor with constituencies on account of their writings To write for the Times or for the Daily News does not damage a candidate, but does not help him appreciably. On the whole, the English practice seems preferable. Party allegiance in Parliament practically means and must mean allegiance to particular leader,
 whose faults of temper and tactics often have to be endured at the cost of some special plead ing or of party vote. Party allegiance for journal means allegiance to the principles which the Parliamentary leader is supposed to represent, but from which he may at times swerve. An editor in Parliament is, therefore, exposed to find himself in the difficult position of being bound to vote with chief, whose po- litical programme he is every day denouncing in the press. Besides this, there is another important difficulty that embarrasses the posi- tion of Parliamentary editor. Even the oc- casional contributor to journal finds that he often becomes unpopular because he is the supposed writer of articles refecting on the conduct of his brother members, or because he is supposed to be traversirg the party tactics in his paper, or simply because it is thought that he is brought into undue prominence in it's columns. But an editor cannot escape the responsibility for every and any offense of this kind, and being perpetually between two fires, the dread of making personal enemies among the men with whom he associates every day, and the fear of misleading the public, he will
 be liable to all the perplexity and oscillations that habtually attend such position. -TAe Fortntghtly Reoieao.

Housing Machinery and stock.

A correspondent of the Reinbeck Qa.)
Herald, speaking Of the housing of farm
machinery, says Of those who have not
sufficient room to house the same whole,
that most of them could find room if they
wou. d take their machinery to pieces, and
suggests advantages ensuing from this
method as follows:
1st The farmer becomes better &C.
quainted with his machine.
I'd. All worn ont or broken parts can
be found and laid aside, to be renewed or
repaired at leisure
3d. All boxes and journals can be more
thoroughly and easily cleaned.
He also says, and says truly, that farm.
ers who are unable to house their machill-
cry are also unable to bear the loss Incl
dent to its exposure. And this fact
applies with equal force to the housing of
stock, the Importance of which every
farmer understands but which very few
arc able to do because they cannot afford
to build.
BY judicious use Of time and such ma
terial as may be had at little or no ex.
pense, and by exchanging work many
farmers might provide comfortable quart.
ers for stock. One farmer in our own
county, Mr. Nels Attleson, of Vienna, we
are informed has an underground stable
60x40 #. in size, walled to the height of
seven ft. with rock. 1t was excava' ed
with his own implements and cost nothing
beyond his own labor and few boards.
1t affords ample and comfortable quarters
for his stuck, and enables him to turn out
fat, sleek cattle in the spring with the
same expense for feed that is incurred by
farmers who use yards and open sheds in
keeping herd of scrawny animals. s.-Ex.

OUR YANKTDN LETTER.

DEAR ALERT:


DEAR ALERT:
As the present legislature is about to
cease its labors, they are rushing bills OF
both public and private nature through
under suspension Of the rules, which may
work much mischief if not guarded
against. There were twenty one bills in
troduced yesterday in the Council on the
last hour, in which by previous consent
it was possible to do so.
This rush of business, of course, ncces-
states hard work on the part of the
Clerks of the Legislature to keep matters
going.
The Legislative Assembly took last
Fridav that contemplated excursion to
Canton. in Lincoln County, over on the
Sioux River, and had for themselves
and accompanying ladies and guests an
enjoyable time. The Canton people did
themselves great credit in the way they
turned out and played the hosts.
Some forty or fifty teams were in wait.
ing to convey the guests from Belolt to
Canton and return, while the collation.
was excellent.
There are number of bills that have
been signed by the Governor, but the
favorite way to make Legislative bills
laws, is to have both houses to pass them,
the Governor to veto them, and the legis-
lature to pass them over his veto, which
has been done great deal lately.
Lack of time prevents US giving list
Of bills passed during the past week, but
we hope in our next to do so.
In future Stutsman and the counties
north of her will be united with Burleigh
County Legislative District, having one
Councilman and one Member of the
House.
The Legislature will adjourn on satur'
day night. ..

The Plague which has Reappeared In

The black death, which has again ap.
pesred in some parts of Russia, has prov
ed very destructive and caused the great

which, in the fourteenth century, desolat.

order OF nature seemed to be reversed.
The seasons we're at various times invert-

is that the extraordinary activity of the

vast organic masses!-mvriads of locusts,
brutes and bodies of human beings-pro-
duced some change in the atmosphere

A Novel steamer.

Marseilles is about to be the scene of
the trial of new system Of marine navi-
CATION that is exciting considerable atten'
ton at home Is we'll us abroad. The trial
consists in propelling vessel without
screw or paddle wheels. An article in
Galignani's Messenger thus describes the
craft: 1t is of the dimensions and form
of an ordinary tug boat, and is worked by
means of q steam pump of sixteen horse
power, with horizontal tubular boiler.
That pump is of enormous power, and
draws in considerable quantities Of water,
which, by the force with which it is
expelled against the sea at the stern,
sends the vessel forward. The ship is
furnished with two pairs of tubes, the
one acting at the stern and the other at
the bow During the ordinary progress
of the boat those in trout are closed by
stop cocks, but, ii occasion arises for
making the steamer retrograde, the after
are closed and the others opened. The
water to supply the pump is taken from
the sea alongside, but that communication
can also be closed. and system of barrels
filled with water is provided in the hold
to supply the pump in case of any emer.
gency. With this invention it is said
that no vibration is produced. and the
machine can be easily transformed into -.
fire engine by the addition Of suitable
supply Of hose. Moreover, it can bt
readily used to prevent another vesse

A WONDERFUL GEORGIA WOMAN
The following particulars we get from
Mr.. George c. Watson, living near the
home of the subject of the sketch: A
lady of the Seventh district of Worth
county has become insane on the subject
of religion. Her fermentation was first
noticed about a month ago, soon after
the close of q protracted meeting at
Union Baptist church, near her home.
She attended the different services very
regularly, and seemed deeply impressed
and troubled from their first commence
ment. A short while before the. meeting
closed she Joined the church. Going
back home her incoherent, maddened
and rambling conduct was noticed by
her husband and children, and they be-
came terribly excited and wrought up
about it. She went raving about the
house and yard with bucket of water,
baptising everything in her pathway.
She baptised her husband and each one
of her children, and while doing this
sang the most beautiful songs-songs
that she had heard but once or twice.
Although an unlettered woman (her hus-
band will swear this,) she reads any
chapter in the Bible readily, pronounc-
ing correctly and distinctly, paying at
tention to punctuation points, &c. She
breaches nearly all the while, aud our
informant says uses the choicest words
and displays great wisdom and knowl-
edge in the handling of different sub
jects. Although not Mason, she knows
all the mysteries of that mysterious craft
by heart. Dozens of Masons have gone
to see her, and they all come away dumb
founded. Her husband has come to the
conclusion that she is witch. She has
attempted acts of violence, but as yet
done no harm. He, with outside assis-
tance, tried at one time to incarcerate
her in one of the rooms of the house, but
the doors became unmanageable and
wouldn't stay locked. She hasn't slept
in eighteen days and nights, and during
that time has taken but few morsels of
food. This is one of the strangest cases
we have ever heard of. Hundreds are
focking to see the frenzied woman.-Al
