waking ON THE WATER.
A Curicu\ &vention by which VIC.
sOuie tMuked Across Harlan
River and Back Again.

y. Y. Telegram.
A Young man named w. c. Soule, walked
across Harlan river yesterday on the face of
the water, at spot about 100 yards above
High bridge. His feet were shod with what
he calls "water skates" an invention of his
own. and he was dressed in a suit of ordinary
summer clothing, and wore straw hat. The
skate is an air vessel, made of zinc and her
medically sealed The continuance is about
five feet in length, ten inches broad and five
inches deep, with vertical sides, and tapers off
fore and aft, or at the toe and heel, like
steamboat. On the deck or upper surface
there ia socket, shoe shaped and about four
and half inches deep, into which the foot
is set, the opening being guarded by rim of
metal one and half inches high, to keep the
water from washing into the socket. The
bottom of the skate is fitted with double
gang ofautomatic paddles, one gang forward
and the other aft, with five blades in each
gang. The blades are set on swivels in q
frame ten inches square, that hangs vertically
from the bottom of the skate. As the skate
is pushed forward through the water, the
blades are opened and offer no resistance, but
when the foot rests so as to begin forward
movement with the other foot the pressure
backward closes the blades and gives a pur-
chase on the water that materially aids in
propulsion. Each skate weighs actually
about eight pounds, but in the water, owing
to its bouyancy, it has no perceptible
weight on the foot.
Mr.. Soule weighs about 125 pounds, and
when he stands on his akstes in the water
they sink about three and half inches, leav-
ing the deck and one and a half inch of the
sides above the water.
Mr.. Soule put the skates in the water
alongside boating float, and without any
support stepped into one then into the other,
and started off on his walk The tide was
running out at the rate of perhaps two miles
an hour, but he made his way directly across
the stream and turned and came back to his
starting point. The total distance Travelled
was perhaps 500 yards. The movement in
walking is sort Of gliding step, the skate
being at no time lifted out of tn water. The
progress, of course, is necessarily slow, as
there ia recoil or retardation at every step,
notwithstanding the resistance offered by the
paddles.

Fast Trains-YandaIia Line.

The era of fast timo on the Eastern rail-
ways seems to be approaching; indeed is at
hand. Only week ago, the Baltimore and
Ohio road started in, "giving 'em the dust"
as its advertisements stated. Now the Van
dalia Panhandle and Pennsylvania roads
com 10 the rescue, as will be seen by no.
tices in other columns of this paper, an
nouncing the same time to Baltimore as the
b. & o., and four or five hours quicker time
to New York. Other lines will undoubtedly
follow and the public will have the oppor-
tunity by travelling by fast trains in all di-
rections. For perfect track, elegant equip
ment and intelligent and successful manage
ment the Vandalia Line and its "Great Faith.
en-" the Pennsylvania railroad can always be
truly commended.--[St. Louis Globe-Demo'

An active brain, sparkling with q cheerful
mind, bright eye, a robust body, pure, rich
blood and vigorous, bounding circulation,
add many charms to female society-yet, ah |!
how few ladies' can boast Of all these signs Of
health! While they remain victims to those
terrible female complaints, they will be COM
PEELED to be mere feeble, delicate drones up
on society. But awake from the dark and
dismal night of gloom that mantles your
brow, you can be restored to health and hap
piness by the use Of English Female Bittsrs.

To Travellers by Sea and LaDd.-The effect
of change of air and of travel is to produce
constipation, which is followed by headache,
piles and general dissrrangement of the
system. The stomach, already nauseated,
gags at the very sight of pill, while other
mixtures, sweetened or not sweetened, or
acid, are revolving. Nothing of the kind is
ever complained ofin taking Simmons Liver
Regulator. 1t is always grateful to the
stomach, whatever its condition may be--in
fact, the slightly bitter taste Of the Regulator
Is pleasant in removing the sick taste from
the mouth. A dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator, say from half to full teaspoonful,
will impart grateful warmth and glow to
the weak and nauseated stomach, will reg
ulate the secretions aud gently assist nature,
slowly and surely, without gripping or nausea,
as though no medicine had been taken.

Feels Young Again.

Shocking II True.

Canada has an electric girl who discharges
from her person electric shocks which can be
transmitted to circle of fifteen or twenty
persons. Her hands possess the qualities Of
magnet, and any person shaking hands
with her is subjected to a violent
shock. The other Sunday night
her young man called to see her, and
he thoughtlessly wore steel buttons on. hii
vest The result was that when he went to
kiss her the human magnet pinned, or rather
buttoned him to her, and this was not so un'
pleasant for while, but when it was time
for the young man to 60 home he couldn'l
release himself until he had pulled all thu
buttons out by the roots.

friends were invited to meet his family circle
for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
OF the Captains wedding. Of course such an
invitation was heartily accented, and a most
agreeable evening passed at the Coyle man
sion in Deering The house was brilliantly
lighted, and the family and friends present
were warm in their congratulations. The
Capt ain and Mrs. Coyle appeared in excellent
health and spirits, and received with unaf-
fected pleasure the many compliments of
which they were the recipients The vener-
cradle Dr. Carruthers made a congratulatory
address, which could not easily be surpassed
in dignity, aptness and propriety. Capt. Coyle
replied briefly in his happiest manner. An
ample and elegant supper was served, and the
evening closed with an appropriate selection
OF music, and an invocation of the divine
blessing by Rev. DIR. Allen, formerly of this
city. The musical part was we'll rendered. as
matter OF course, since it was under the di.
rection OF the accomplished President of the
Haydn Association. The guests departed
with sincere wishes for the continued health.

Joanna B. Gilman, which, it will be remem
bered, was an action to settle the question of
the dividing line between their respective es-
tates in Waterville, and out of which grew the
Gilman shooting affair, has Just been finally
settled by the full court. The action was be-
gun Oct. ID, 1877. 1t was first tried before
Judge Libbey and jury at the October term,
1878, and resulted in disagreement of the
jury. Sat the March term, 1879, it was again
tried, Judge Danforth presiding, and verdict
found for the plaintiff. Exceptions were taken
by the defendant and motion filed for a new
trial. The printed case, as prepared for the
law judges, made a volume of six or seven hun
bred pages, letter press size. The case was
argued in this city. last July. A rescript has
just been received from the law court ordering
motion and exceptions overruled," giving the
plaintiff Judgment on the verdict.
