The Confederate Debt.

From the Ellcnve (N. " Banner Of Liberty.
When a stalwart Republican is driven
into bis hole in political argument, he
tries to cover his retreat by bawling
out: "lf Gen. Hancock ia elected the

crate war debt"
This is the boshiest of all bosh. The
Constitution of the United States pro.
hibits it. So does the Constitution of
each and every one of the Southern
States. If this we're not the case, the
debt is about all held in Europe, was

have no desire to burden themselves
with taxes to feed European capitalists

A Brave Fireman's Work.


From the Altoona (ra.) Tribune.
The fireman on engine No. SIT, which
is a modoc, and runs on the Pittsburg
division, has proved himself a hero and
worthy of the place he holds. Before
daylight one morning this week he per.
formed a deed which old railroad men
say was one of the bravest ever execut.
ed on the mountain. The train was
coming toward Altoona from Gallitzin,
and when near the latter station the
rear end of the train parted, leaving
the conductor and all the brakemen but
one on it. The break was not noticed
on the engine, and the train ran on
through the tunnel. While still in
there twenty.three cars broke from the
rear end of what was left and came
spinning along without brakeman on
them. The brakeman on the front
section, when they sIackened up, saw
that a collision on the heavy down grade
was inevitable, and he and the engineer
both jumped TO save themselves. Then
it was that the true qualities of the
fireman were displayed. He sprang to
the vacant seat, opened the throttle
and started down the mountain. In a
moment the collision came, but its force
was so weakened that nothing was brok.
en-. lie was the only man on train of
thirty three cars running rapidly down
the, heavy grade. Ii took but short
time to reverse the engine and apply
the brake. Then back on the cars he
climbed and put on the brakes. 1t was
a three mile run before he succeeded in
getting them stopped, but by his nerve
he saved tremendous freight wreck,
as had the cars got a start they would
heve every one landed in the ditch at
the horseshoe curve. il not sooner. The
Pennsylvania Railroad can afford to keep
such men in its employ, and show them
any reasonable favors they ask, too.
This was another apparently inevita.
ble accident which a faithful employe
aveTted.

NJ. Covuelin observes with truth that,
even in interpreting the work ola great
genius, a great actor puts into the part
which he plays something of his own i'll
Gus studies and he strengthens his argll-
ment that the actor is all artist III the sense
which he gives to the word, by pointing to
the many second and third rate plays
which owed their success merely to the
overmastering genius Of Talma, while lie
takes occasion to refer to the latter case of
the great Frederick's success in the charac-
ter of ''Robert Macare." Ia speaking of
| this hc quotes what the actor himself las
left on record concerning his famous i'll
vention.
The piece in which Robert Macairc first
appeared, IL I'4Aubarge dies =Adrets; was
intended by IFS authors for sombre and
impressive mclodrama. s!Cc Ii 'etait meme
plus lie ncIodramc, use, demode, descend

cttondrcment soudain.' In reading over
his part again and again, he was at his
wits end What to do with it.; then it sud-
denly struck him that, if the two chief
characters, Robert Macaire and Bertrand,
were played from comic point of view,
they would be excessively funny, He
communicated what he called his 'sidee
bizarre folle" to i7irmin, who was to play
Bertrand, and who jumped at the notion.
They rehearsed their effects in secret, and
letno one know till the first night Of the
piece Of the curious Improvement on the
I authors idea which had occurred to
1 Lenaitre, and the immense success OF
which is a matter of history.

ance
| 1t consists of Il wooden tank seven feet
long, three feet wide and two feet aecp3
divided into three com partments. The
| hot water is let into the first compartment,
and when full it oYerfloWs into the second,
while the third is Il little lower still, and
receives its water supply from the over
flow of the second, and from this it escapes
into the w;tste-pipe. A zinc tank made
little smaller than these wooden cOmpari-
ments has an open-Work wire bottom and
holes in its sides. It is strengthene ny
two iron rods, which project far enough
to form handles This is the receptacle
for the dishes. One hundred or more
soiled dishes, the dirty side down, may be
put into the zinc tank at one time. Two
persons then plunge it into the lower Of
the compartments and churn it up and
down Il few times, which removes the
thickcst Of the refttsc from the dishes. 1t
is next lifted into the second compartment
and the operation repeated, and then put
into the highest ono, which is connected
directly with the hot-water pipes.
The water in this compartment is very
hot and after Il little vigorous churning
the zinc tank is lifted out with the dishes
all smoking hot and absolutely clean. If
allowed to dry by themselves, even clean
water leaves Il light blush tinge ON dishes,
and AS the bowls and plates arc taken
out they receive a little dab with a cloth
dampcncd III cold water. The sudden
change Of temperature thus produced upon
tic surface causes an instant evaporation,
which leaves the dishes entirely dry and
thoroughly clean The whole operation
takes no more than onc minute.
Lii the establishment where this ma
chine is now used it saves the labor Of two
women, and does the work more satisfac-
torily than it would be if done i'll the old
fashioned way. 1t also saves the crockery
from getting nicked, 1t seems as if such
a machine might be made Of service i'll
washing the milk pans in a dairy. It'll
certainly is Il very useful contriyance for
all places where there are many dishes to
