A Great Invention.

The London Times reports that Col.
Beaumont has succeeded, after tour
years Of experiment; in making a near
ly perfect compressed-air engine for
locomotive purposes. The air Is stored
in a reservoir under Il pressure Of one
thousand pounds to the square inch,
and delivered thence, first, into a
small and afterward into larger cylin,
dcrS, whence, after giving out its force.
it passes into the outer air An an
cient difficulty, that compressed air
freezes the atmosphere which cOnden-
ses Oh the joints Of the engines, has
been overcome; and the engine can
now haul a gross load Of twenty>twc
tones ior eleven miles, or twelve tons
for twenty miles, with one change OF
air. This will make it by far the
most useful form OF engine fpr srrte
railways, rs there will he neither flame
smoke nor noise to flightcn the horses,
and it will be ut once applied to the
Eiinburg and PortobelIo horse cars.
If it Is found cheap in actual working,
it will supercede for certain function,
both steam and horses, and probably
applied to carriages ;raycr>iug com

Coffee and Typhoid Fever.

DR.. GuillaSse, of the French navy,
il Il recent paper Oh typhoid fever,
speaks Of the great benefit which has
been derived from tie Use Of coffee.
He has found that no sooner have the
patients taken few table>poonsful of

and they come 70 their senses the
neNt day the improvement Is sucn as
to leave no doubt that the article is
Just the specific needed. Under its
influence the stupur Is dispelIed, and
the patient rouses from the state Of
somnolency in which he has been
since the invasion Of the disease ;
soon all the functions take their nat
ural course and he enters upon con-
valescence. DR.. GuillasSe gives to an
adult two or three tablespoonstul Of

Recently there has been introduced
another step in the waltz, soon it will
be ushed irto fashionable circles. 1t
is called the South Sea CudGle.' A
correspondent of the London Truth
saws: 4 have never before seen 50
Grossly indecent Il step as that favored
in the neigh bborhood Of Portsmouth
and Ryde. Surely young ladies at Il
public bail should draw the line at bi-
ting the shoulder cord Of the uniform
ed partners III whose arms they are
gliding round the room.
The South Sea Cuddle' is the la
test European step in the German
waltz. This is dreadful! Are our
sisters and our aunts to he exposed to
this terrible cuddle? When our great,
grandmothers danced the minuet, our
grandmothers, Sir Roger de Coverly,
and ourmothers aharmless schottlsche,
there was no cuddling. Cuddling
must be abolished; we are ruined by
South sea cheap cuddIing."
BY slow degrees dances, chat shock
the sensibilities the brightest type
Of men and women, are introduced in
to social gatherings, where the young
men loose that delicate regard for fe
males, that the old time chivalry in
culcated.

ITBs ACQUISITION OF DECEN'


Not long since, We expressed to a
very dear young friend our delight
that on her first appearance at ball,
She had declined to participate in the
round dance. We commended her
courage in refusing, and sought to per-
sulde her 10 persist III it, 10y ntIma-
TING to her what We know to be the
sentiment and language OF the gem
tl4men " partner in regard to the
Young women who allow them the I'M
moral fmiliarities which such dances
permitand ueccs,itate. As our young
friend is note Il follower of Jesus Christ,
we appealed to her self respect as
pure girl. We begged her 10 consld-
er the matter, net merely from The
standpoint Of religion, but as a ques-
tion Of common decercy, and IL pro-
tcct her person from lusttui handling
and her good name from thesmIrchIng
Of foul tongues.
The Central Presbyterian has the
following in point.
The argument against the dancing
now prayticeJ by our young people
rests on Il question Of decency. We
need not call a jury Of Christians to
sit on this case: we only need Il jury
Of old fashioned Nirgiuians who may
play cards, run horses, drink their
glor, and do many other things in di--
regard of the precepts Of the Christian
religion. We are perfectly willing TO
rest the case wi,haut argument IN their
hands, whether they think it consists
ent wi.h female modc-ty for young
woman to pass through the scencs Of:
a modern ballroom.
The mere act otdaucing Is nothing;
there may be little or no harm in the
Old fashioned corIiiou in private
house with reasonable hours; what the
standards Of the Presbyterian Church
condemn it ''Iasciyious dancing" We
mean 10 sort OF reflection OF the
young ladies who engage in our mod
ern dances, many OF them do 1t in III
nocence and in mere thOughtlessuess,
and swept along by the demands OF
society; but we do insist that the thing
itself comes within the precise idea
aimed at by the staniards Of the
Westminster Assembly. I!ew car we
be contradicted? And Is this Il thing
for Il Christian woman to do? Would
christian girl, who has r..i'y given
herself to her Savior, defend It's prac-
tice Of 'Iascivious dancing 1t be
comes, then, 4 mere question Of tlct.
Does the act Of handsome woman'>
throwing herself into the arms Of Il
young man. come within TIE idea Of
'losciviou>'?
The truth Is the modern dance has
revoluticnized the relations Of the sex
Is in this country. Ii has introduced
into our drawingrooms the indcro-
runs Of the Mobile and the Chateau
Rouge. 1t has changed the attitude
OF our Young men towards the gentIer
sex. They do not regard them with
the same respect, with the same
knightly devotion; they are regarded
more as fellows who DO not live in
that Atmosphere Of sublimated guile
4 Iessness that they formerly occupied.
/ There IS familiarity practiced by
the Young men towards the young
women whIch is simply shocking, and
it Is largely the fruit Of the dance,
Woman has experienced the change
/ which came over France at the close
/ Of the last century, when all reverence
was lost for everything.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN.

Belfssent Tries TO be q Bigger Man Than
Dr. Ptstassa; Yea, BIG Enough to De-
oeice City-Bxt she's Wonsaa-Hose
she Got . sWSt Made With the Shoulders
Of the Coat esdded Three inches Deep.
It ia Mary Belmont and ne other. The evil
dence to establish this fact is gathering every
day, and is already sufficient to satisfy the
mind of any one not ever eredaleas. An at
temst has been made to create false impress
sion en- the pablo, or at least to subvert the
truth, but it has little plausibihty and will
have little weight. 1t is presumed that the at
tempt hiss been made to make cut that Belmont
is boy in order that she msy remain loose
and not be molested by the police. She still
dresses in male attire, and unless she could be
made out q man it would be the
duty of the police to arrest her and again put
her in Jail, or impose = fine upon her.
But here are the facts in the case, and CON-
siderable evidence that has not yet been pub
Hshed:
First-On the evening of Beimont's arrest
DR.. Putnam was called by Chief Munger to
examine the person, and see whether it was a
man or woman. Belmont was then over the
Security bank in charge of the police. DR..
Putnam went over, and the others withdrew
from the room. The doctor said to Belmont
that he would be obliged to clear MP this ques-
ton, whereupon Belmont responded: IF it
has come to this. doctor, il is no uso for me
to deny it to you; am q soma,." The
doctor said he he would have to Determine the
matter himself, and he found her to be a
woman. Z.
Second-The Sunday morning papers pub
lished interviews with DIR. Anes in
which he said he had examined
Belmont and it was man. Belmont will not
admit this examination as will be hereafter
seen. But what did DR.. Ames examine Bel
mont for? The police did not ask him to;
the Judge did not ask him to; no one asked
him to as far Is can be learned. How did it
happen that reporter was on hand just a. the
doctor returned from the alleged examination
To be candid. these are good grounds for be-
lieving that DIR. Ames never examined Bel
mont at all.
Third-The publication of the interview
placed DR.. Putnam in bad position, as it ap-
peared he couldn't tell a woman from a man,
and he proceeded to seek an interview with
Belmont. He found her at the Jail with Mrs.
Thompson and another lady. He spoke of the
false impression that had been erected
against him, and proposed to have
the matter set right. He pointed his finger at
Belmont's face and told her that she was

She said she Was man. and lied to the doctor
when he, she or it told him at the Security
bank that he she or it was woman. But the
doctor assured Mrs. Thompson and the other
lady that Belmont was woman, and proposed
to prove her to be suoh. Belmont refused to
grant the request of both the doctor and Mrs.
Thompson. but said she would appear at the
doctors office yesterday with her attorney and
allsw the matter TO be determined. The doc
tor said if she did not appear, he should
brand her az = woman.
She made no appearance at DR.. Putman's
Office yesterday, according to her agreement of
tae day previous.
About y week previous to the arrest of Bel
mont she called at the Boston clothing store
to get suit of clothes. Good gracious! The
clerks were dumbfounded. They thought they
had suits that would 1T any man, no matter of
what bsild, but they hadn't suit that would

Belmont to go to the tailoring room
and be measured. This would seosssitate the
removal of good deal of her clothing and
she wouldn't 90 an inch. The clerks were
obliged to take the measure 81 best they could.
She had the shoulders padded three inches
deep! This was done to mako her appear
square shouldered and look like man.
Belmont's face is absolutely smooth, Eco tae
doctor says) There are no appearances of =
beard upon 1t, and no indications that there
ever will be any,
These are some Of the facts in the case aad
people can judge for themselves what Bel

Thore is no purpose to dispute Dr.. Ames. bat
it is certain shat the weight of evidence is all

CROP REPORTS.
Summary for October as to Cotton, Wheat

Summary for October as to Cotton, Wheat
and Oats, From the Department. of A girl
culture.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The following
statement of the cotton, wheat and oats
crops was issued to-day by the department.
of agriculture:
Cotton-Reports from the cotton belt were
more favorable this month than last. In the
States of North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida the weather has been good,
and the prospects are for an increase of from
seven to fifteen per cent. In Alabama, and
all the States bordering the Mississippi riv-
or, there is reported too much
rain and damage from rot and bailworm,
indicating decrease IN product since year
ago. In Texas the weather has been gener-
ally favorable and the crop promises in
creases of Is to 20 per cent. The principal
complaint there is of scarcity of labor.
Frosts are generally reported, but except IN
a few localities the damage has been slight.
The area planted in cotton "a reported to
this department last spring was 20 per
cent more than last year.
Wheat returns of November show an in
crease in the wheat crop of the United
States of 100000 bushels since 1879. The
yield per acre is somewhat less
but the increase in area
sown more than eounterbalances
the loss of yield. In the States OF Mime
sofa and California the yield per acre, as
well as acreage, shows an increase.
Oats-The oat crop shows slight decline
as compared with the crop of 1879. The
area sown was one per cent. more than the
previous year but the yield per ao1e is less.
In the North Atlantic States oats turn out
better than last year, but in all the States
south of the Delaware there is great decline.
In Kansas and Nebraska the crop was very
poor. In Iowa and Minnesota very good,
and about the acreage in other Western
States.
