CONGRESSMAN BRAGG, OF WISCONSIN.

Sheboygan, Wis.,, Feb. Ga visit to
Fond du Lac, the home of Gen. E. s. Bragg,
suficed TO collect items concerning the per
s~0nality of the little man who has achieved
prominence through his pronounced opposi
ton in congress to ssouthern claims" The
general himself was found in .Sheboygan at
tending court, he having come from Wash.
ington to try an important case. His views
in political matters, as enumerated herein,
are obtained from himself. His personal
history is derived from his neighbors in
Fond du Lac, and no amount of reportorial
pumping could procure from the general
himself anything which would constitute
more than q bare mention in . "person,l"
column. He evidently ID not pleased that
his war and political record il commended
~ his constituents and others, but he don't
like to blow his own bugle.
Edward s. Bragg, son of Joel and Mar
garetta Kohl Bragg, was born at Unadilla,
Otsego county, New York, on February 20,
1927, and is now in his ffty-second year.
He settled in Fond do Lac in 1850, and at
once secured . large practice. He has filled
the office of district attorney and state sena-
tor, and is now serving his first term in con-
gress; his second term in which body
commences on the 4th of March next.

A NEW KIND OF STEAMER.

Trials are about to be made at Marseilles,
France, of a vessel on an entirely new prin-
ciple, propelled without either screw or
paddle-wheels. The craft is of the dimen-
stone and form of an ordinary tug-boat,
aud is worked by a means Of . ste I'm pump
Of 16-horse power, with a horizontal tubular
boiler. That pump is of enormous power,
and draws in considerable quantities of
water, which by the force with which it ia
expelled against the sea at The stern sends
the vessel forward. The chip il 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
front are closed by stop-cocks, but if occa-
sion arises for making the steamer retro.
grade, the after tubes are closed and the
others opened. The water to supply the
pump is taken from the sea al ngside, but
thai communication can also be closed, and
a system OF barrels filed with water is pro-
vided in the hold to supply the pump in
case of any emergency. With this inven-
ton, it is said that no vibration is produced,
and the machine can be easily transformed
into , fire engine by the addition of a suit
able supply Of hose. Moreover, it can be
readily used to prevent another vessel from
sinking; when waterlogged or leaking, by
takin tubes to supply the pump to the ship
in distress and u ilizing the water it contains
as the means of propulsion, while, at the
same time, towing the disabled craft. The
pipes for the election of the water are 6xed
in adirection parallel to the keel. and, when
at work, in no way interfere with the action
Of the rudder, simply moving the vessel on
Its course BY the resistance the water elected
meets with from the great mass of the sur
r ounding sea. The invention is said to be
that of an American engineer, and the
steamer is reported to have already made
ten knots an hour. The peculiar utility of
this boat, if it anssers expe %tations, il for
river work, and, after the trials at Mar
s%eilles, il will be again essayed on the
Rhone.

Jewish Farming Colonies to Be Located
I the West and South.
From the Philadelphia Record.
An important'movement is on. foot among
the Hewbrews of the United States, looking
to the formation of q Jewish colony or col
onies In the south or west. Tue subject
was first mooted al the annual convention
of the upion of Hebrew congregations,
which was'held in Cincinnati latt July,
when IL was referred to q committee on ag-
ricultural rpursuits tor consideration. THIS
body, after having considered the question
for half q year, has just rendered b report 10
the executive committee in the following
language.
IN our opinion the true emancipation of
Jews consists in the greater infusion of the
spirit of manhood and self dependence,
which can be best done by encouraging
the large masses of Israelites dwelling in
eastern and southern Europe to become
farmers, agriculturalists and mechanics.
THE millions of acres still lying in waste
in this country await the toll of thrifty and
Industrious h%usbandmen aud laborers to
yield the untold wealth sleeping in the un-
developed soil, and to millions of Jews the
independence Of the farmer would be the
true redemption Of tondage.
This county, our brethren all over the
world and society at large would b greatly
benefit d by the enlistment of willing hands
and stout hearts in an enterprise that would
largely affect the great social question. of
modern times.
