shoemakers daughter at the last Saturday
nights ball, story which was strung out until
foTbearance ceased to be virtuous, when the
man being clipped looked up somewhat an noyed
and exclaimed 1mpatiently, "Oh, cut it short!"

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE IN RAISING
COAL,

The history of atmospheric railways is on
the whole a record of failure and it would
appear that the system can hardly compete
with that Of the locomotive engine unless in
very exceptional circumstances Their pru
ciple however, seems to have been applied
recently with success to the raising Of coal at
one of the coal pits of Epnac, in France,
named the iottenguen Pit, by NJ Blauchci
engineer. His system is described in the
Inmates des Mines, aud It's PRINCIPAL organ j.
like pump column, and containing an up
per and lower piston, rridly connected with
au intermediate cage holding vertical seria,
or train of trucks nine in number. The tub
communicates below with the atmosphere
taking in air or letting it escape, while above
it is connected with an air-pump, but can Il =
50 be made to communicate with exterior ar
by means of orifices which can be opened or
closed at will When the train is to ascend
the air is exhausted above, and free air, em
tering below forces the cage up. Descent is
effected by admitting air above, that which
has entered below being then forced out
Doors, tap pets, registers, stop cocks, &C. are
provided, so that empty or tull Wagons eau
be introduced or Withdrawn as required
There are als) barometers, bells, counters,
and chronometers indicating where the train
is. either in ascent or descent. The system
may be applied with two tubes instead Of one;
Il. II. 81 / ]
full train rises in one while an empty train
descend, in the other air passes constantly
above from one tube to the other The vel
ocity is mathematically regulated by the vol
ume Of air admitted above the piston in de-
scent and by that withdrawn in ascent Ac-
cording as the air which forces the train up i
drawn from a fresh or warm current it j.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Last week, when we gave the result
of the Maine election, the indications
we're that the Fusionists had elected
their Governor by about 1000 major
ity. Since then, however, some Of
the back counties have been heard
from which places matters in some
doubt, rand the indications at this
writing are tnat Davis, Republican, is
elected Governor. AS soon as the
Fusion sympathizers discovered that
the Republicans had carried the
election, and the back woods towns
were showing up Repu blican gains
they began the old cry of fraud"
They didn't discover any frauds so
long as the returns were favorable to
.hem. With the Democrats it was
anything to beat the Republicans, and
they even went so far as to claim the
victory all for themselves, leaving the
OIGehUaChSIS Oub III bhS COAu' ANS'
publicans were despondent over the
result, but as the returns kept coming
in they began to cheer up, and they
are now jubilant in the happy thought
that the grand old Pine Tree State is
still true to her past record, and elects
Republican Governor, three Con
gressmen, three .fourths of the county
officers, more than two-thiros Of the
State Senate, and large najority oi

complete control of the State Govern.

are welcome to all the comfort and
inspiration they can draw from sucf
a victory. The scare has had the effect
which perhaps their opponents would
as soon not have seen. 1t has every
where spurred the Republican host
into unwonted energy and activity
They are now defiant and determined
instead of timid and despondent. The!
look forward, not backward, and tn
result of their efforts will be seen il
due time. Let the Republicans 0
little Forest be on their guard con
stantly. Push OH the column.
