A Remarkable Wagon

A remarkable wagon has been in.
vented in the far West. It has four
wheels of equal size, aud pc rhaps five
feet in diameter, on which to run.
Above tho hind wheels are seats for
passengers and bed for freight. In
front of this bed and attached to the
forward axle are cog and balance
wheels, and above them on frame is a
large cog wheel, one revolution of
which turns a small cog wheel fas.
tened to the axle a dozen or more
times. The inventors theory was that
when the wagon was once set in mo.
ton its speed would be accelerated by
its own motion, and that the only
trouble would be in preventing it from
running too fast. To keep it from run
ming away with itself, across valleys
and over mountains and never stop
ping until worn out, brakes were ar.
ranged to control it, and steering ap-
paratus was fixed over the wheels
within reach of the driver. Much was
expected of the machine by the inven-
tor, who was positive that it would
outrun locomotive across the desert,
and revolutionizs the carrying trade,
as neither fuel nor power of any kind
WAS required to keep it going when once
started.

THE WtFE.-Lord Beaconstield, in
the dedication of 1" Lothair describes
the person Of the dedication, as "a
severe critic, but perfect wife,"
Here is an incident illustrative of her
character. She was driving down to
the house to hear an important speech
from her husband at the time of q
grave political crisis. He, full of his
subject and pre-. occupied as he aiighted
from his carriage, shut one of her
fingers in the door. Agonizing as
must have been the pain, she uttered
no Cry till he was out of sight. Then
she besought her footman to open the
cruel door. my DEAR" she said to
one to whom she told the incident. 81
would not have cried out for the whole
world; in thinking of my pain he
would have been so agitated that he
would have forgotten all the chief
points of his speech" Such q woman
deserved that coronet of viscountess
which her husband, refusing all honor
himself, laid at the feet OF his wife.
