Joe Parsons Adventure.

Joe Parsons was Baltimore hey, and

LABOR LosT.-A good man, consp1c-
uous fer his helpful interest in the
young, occupied the pulpit of the Uni
tartan Church ia Northampton, on re-
cent Sunday. His heart was gladdsned
by the sight of an array of bright-look-
ing boys on some front seats. The
speaker talked at those boys with gen
uine enthusiasm, his ardor arising at
the seeming quick response which his
earnest words met in the frightened
eyes and attentive attitude of the
chosen objects of his personal applica-
ton of most wholesome truth. The
preacher was a;little puzzled for the mo
ment to note the unseemly levity of
some of the congregation. but his burn
ing zeal was not quenched, and he drove
the truth clean home with sledge-ham-
mer blows. Going out of the sanctua-
ary. tine visiting brother. still glowing
with the pleasant warmth Of success

bright looking boys were on certain
seats. "Those," said the minister, gent
ly. "are the pupils of our deaf and

Electricity as a Motive Power.

| The Berlin Volks Zeitung announces
/ the probable Introduction of electricity
as motive power in the German capt.
tai. Only one difficulty is said to stand
between the promoters and success
that of completely insulating the axles
of the carriages, which must be entire
ly free from communication With any
metallic body. The new machines will !,
it is said, Re much cheaper than horse
or steam power. The firm which has
acquired the ownership of the inven-
ton is in treaty with the municipality
of Berlin to take over the omnibus
traffic of the city, and it is said that
that body is almost convinced by the
demonstration offered to it. 1t is
further proposed to construct q net
work of mid-air railways on the same
system. In this case the rails would
run above the footways, being sup
ported on one side by the lamp-posts and
on the other by iron pillars close
to the walls of the houses. By a con-
trivance consisting of hooks projecting
from the bottom of the wagons, and SO
disposed as to catch the rails should a
lateral jolt occur, the danger of over
setting is provided against. The work
ing of the new machines Is said to be
almost noiseless. In the case of the
mid-air railways it is proposed to run
at time only one carriage, which will
be in itself engine and wagon, with
separate compartment for ladies and
gentlemen. If the "ene difficulty ="
does not prove an insuperable obstacle
the Prussians will be able to say that
for once their boasted Intellectual su-
periority has produced something nore
valuable than improvements in the art
of slaughtering their fellow creatures.
