A new use Of electricity as motive
power is suggested in the paving of
streets with iron in such a manner
as to form Il continuous electrical
conductor, the same TO be charg-
ed with electricity by powerful sta
tionary engines and dynamic ma
chimes. 1t is claimed that wagons,
carriages, fire engines and other We.
hicles provided with electrical driving
wheels, could lie run over pavement
of this kind in any desired direction,
and with more ease and safety than
by the present system of horse loco

Jim Ware.



Many of our citizens, and the whole
printing fraternity of the State, remember
the name which heads these lines. Jim was
looked on by many as "a worthless, drnn-
ken fellow" 'Tis true Jim was weak, and
allowed his appetite for strong drink to
overcome his Judgment and sweep away
his resolutions of reform. But, drunk or
sober, jim Ware was gentleman, kind
hearted, generous friend, and n noble,
HONEST, MAN. With all his faults and
whom shall we point out AS being perfect

as the sternest stole of old, as proud as.
any III the land. Poor jim il dead No
more can the finger of scorn be pointed at
NM No more will he hear the ieerng
laugh which followed his too often unsteady
steps through the public highways He
can not now be insulted by the hypocritical
advice, nor reached by the cited examples,
OF Pharlsees whose sole virtue consisted IN
command of that appetite which comprised
his sole vice. He is gone. A noble heart
is stilled forever, Alone, in the darkness
of night, struggling with treacherous waves
for life 50 dear to all, his soul went out
from the frail form which we once knew rs
Jim Ware, and but clDd, a stiff, dead
corpse, remained TO point the lesson that
such shape we must all at some time as
sumo Let his friends join ns in the hope
that Jim--once young, and bright with the
light which he drew in as he contemplated
his pictures of happy future-is now laid
away where warm hearts will prompt kind
hands to sometimes drop flower. May
the God of weak, struggling, suffering
deal merciinlly with the generous,
kindly, patient spirit of JIM WARE

A pedestrian on his way form West
Jackson to the Capitol, met with an
adventure one day last week, that was
not calculated to awaken pious
thoughts in his mind, or to bring forth
chaste expressions from his lips. In
passing a locality where numerous
bee-hives are kept he was suddenly
assailed by a swarm of bees who took
up warlike position on the top of his
head, and began operations at once.
The way he fought the little workers
who were using their business ends
with their usual skill--was caution. 1t
was not until assistance arrived that
he was able to free himself from the
embrace of the busy bees. Moral
Bald-headed men should never tackle
Il swarm of bees, with head uncov-
cred.
