Bill English telegraphs to the ST. Louis
Post that the result of the election IN
Maine will greatly help the Democratic
cause in Indiana. Does that hard-mon-
eY, close listed Shylock endorse the in
fiation hcrcsy whose advocates secured
the fruits of doubtful victory in Maine,
and who outnumbcr two Ia one the
Democrats of the Pine Tree state. Can
any man of sound financial views ielici-
tate himself upon the "moral effect" of II
victory for the party which would foist
upon the country an illimitable paper
currency, and whose financial vagaries
if generally adopted, would wreck the
credit and business interests OF the ma
ton in less than five years. Such an
argument will scarcely hold water with
voters of average business sagacity, and
men who are actuatcd by motives OF
even common prudence in the manage
mcnt of their individual affairs.

cede Thy 50. Cumberland county is di-
vided, a Fusion sheriff being elected,
two Republican and two Fusion sena-
tors elected. The vote is very close and
will require the official count to decide.
The legislature will be evenly divided in
both branches.

MONTH OF MAY.

This is the fifth month of the calendar
year-the, confine of spring and sum-
mcr and a,nong the Romans was sacred
10 Apollo. There is \ tradition that the
title of the month was given by Romu-
lus in Difference to the Roman Senators
who were called Majores; but another
tradition says that the appcllation was
derived from Maia, the mother of the
god Mercury. On tho 9th, 18th and
18th days was celebrated the festival of
the Lemuria, or festival Of the dead.
From the ancient Floralia, or festival in
honor Of Flora, the goddess Of spring,
celebrated from April 2sth to May I'd,
r.. perhaps derived the medieval and
modern custom Of observing May LIST
with festive and floral rites. The Dru-
ids wsre accustomed to light large fires

Nsy. Numa Pompilius by adding JAN
ussy and February to tLs year made
this month the fifth which was, previ-
ous to the addition, which was made B.

position in the season makes IL . most
enjoyable one, combining as it does the
warmth Of summer tempered by the
genial influence Of spring atmosphere.

WATER AS A FUEL.


The second trial Of the Holland retort
in which water and naptha are used as
fuel to produce steam for the propulsion
Of . locomotive engine, came off at COL
lege Point, on the Long Island Railroad
yesterday afternoon, in the presence Of
o number Of experts and scientific gen.
tiemen. The retort was attached to an
engins belonging to the railroad compa-
ny, which had been standing in the re-
pair shops for SIX months. II was not

have selected to fully demonstrate the
utility Of his invention. 1t was, how
evcr, the only one that was available.
II was stated by competent engineers
present that even with . coal IRE it
would be difficult to raise steam enough
to move the engine itself, let alone q
load. The run was made from Flushing
to whitcstonc and return, distance Of
six miles, with one coach filed with pas
sengers. Only two gallons of naptha,
worth three cents per gallon, were con-
suncd. As tho apparatus was only
temporarily attached to the engine, the
combustion was not absolutely perfect,
though the operator assure the gentle
nncn present that such result could be
secured under favorable circumstances.
The highest pressure of steam attained
was about l25 pounds to the square inch
The engine was rum out Of the round
house and on the turn-tablc in 40 min
utcs after lighting the fires under the
boilers It then had 60 pounds Of steam

idea embodied in his patcnts in 1856, and
be has been working ut 1t ever since.

Long ago, before the grading fan
ming mill was invented, good farmers
tried various means to separate the
the large heavy kcrnals from the small.
One way was to dip up the little wheat
from the pile At one end of the barn
floor, in . saucer, and throw as far Is
practicable. The heavy grains would
20 farther than the light ones; so, by
taking only the wheat that was At the
fdther end of the whole mass, the best
seed was secured. Other men put up
wire sleeves many feet long. and gave
gave them some slant; and then, pour
ing some seed ON the highest end, and
gently shaking the sleeves, the small
grain would SO through, and the large
ones 60 over the end. Others would
select the perfect heads from The bum
dies of wheat, shell them by hand, and
thus secure some good seed. The grad
ing will save much Of this trouble; but
do not think it sufficient alone to &C
all we want. Ny advice is to
first, select the best heads; shell, and
md then grade them, throwing sway |
