Quee.o, viosoria's Foot Guard

OF the officers inIQdeen yictoria's
foobguards, III saresof Irish, 30 of Scotch
and 205 of English birth. In the
household cavalry, 65 are English, IL
Scotch, and 10 Irish. In the whole
army there are 5,73S English, 1886
Irish, and 7s5 Scotch officers There
are three regimsntsof foot guards, the
Grenadier, Coldstreams and the Scots
guards Their officers are. as class,
more mighty connected than the officers
in the household cavalry, and a man
seldom gets into the foot guards unless
he has large infusion Of blue blood in
his veins. The members Of the, guards
club are restricted to the foot regiments.
A large proportion Of the foot guards
are con posed Of younger sons, and there
is thus great diversity Of means in ia
regiment, one officer being heir or per-
haps possessor of thrice as many thou
sands year as another has hundreds.
AS e rule, they are an inferior class of
men intellectually, but the adjutants are
almost invariably very smart offictrs.
The guards are almost always in London
or at Westminster--oc occasionally in
camp at Aldershot. Until recently. O
battalion was always qusrtered at Dub
lin, the theory being that they go where
there is court but this hasbeen given
up Of late On rare occasions they go
abroad, and thus served in thu Crimea,
at Waterloo and in Canada. To be in
the guards is considered a social diStinc-
tion, and would always enable man to
command an entrance into very good
society, even If he were not born to such
advantages.-N. Y. Sun.

Fire and Lhss q L,ce.

SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. D--The two story

street, between Powell aud Mason, took fire
about s A. M. Mrs. Daniel Haskins, her
daughter Annie. aged 10, son Edward, aged
4, and infant Adelaide perished in the flames.
The origin Of the fire is not yet determined,
but attendant circumstances render it strange
that such q loss OF life could have occurred.
Thomas, the second boy. went TO his
mothers room and saw her and Eddy lying
on the bed together. He then went down
stairs, and in a few moments heard his
mother cry ,'help" and "Ere." He ran up
stairs but fonnd the firs barred his way!
Going into the front yard he saw his mother
standing at the window of Der room. The
apartment seemed to. be in blaze. He
tried to rsiseia ladder TO the window, bat be-
fore he could do 30 his mother fell. The
house burned like tinder. md although the
alarm was st once sounded the building was
almost entirely consumed before the fire de.

A New Motor.

Mr.. A. D. Woodman, Of Chicago,
claims that he has made discoveries rs
to the disintcgration and absorption Of
water that will revolutionize existing
theories. In other words, he has learned,
he claims, the control Of water, has
rendered it inGammable, and has over
come its infammable properties. In
the course oe an interview with an
INTER OCEAy reporter, Mr. Woodman
said;
BY the operation of my theory
which really is no theory, as [ have
demonstrated its practbility-the so,
called natural laws Of nature can be
overcome by man, and man can also pro-
duce the operation of such laws. 1t is
no longer a miracle in my eyes that the
prophets of old called down rain from
the heavens. l can take one of my
disintegrating machines, constructed at
cost of $50, operate it and explodeit,
and Immediately after rain will begin
forming over the vicinity, and presently
there will be shower. That idea sent
abroad may declare me crazy, but L have
so well satisfied myself as to the causes
Of certain effects that know l have
mastered the problem. Another thing,
I can construct q machine for the navi-
cation Of the air. Of course, the only
thing to do is to overcome what they
call the attraction of gravitation, and
this l know how to do. There are so
many things to which the principle can
be applied that am staggered by the
possibilities Of my own discovery. /
shall confne my attention for the present
to the waterrburning question. In about
two weeks | hope to give public
demonstration of this wonderful truth,
and am now engaged making the ma
chine for the purpose. / con convince
the most skeptical Of two ihings--that |
really do burn water, and that l have
overcome the explosive properties of
water or steam. AS motor my inven-
tipnawill solve the problem Kelley has
so unsuocessfully struggled with. He
has not learned how to control his forces.
Il have. My first experiment was with
q very Complicated piece Of machinery.
/ testedit,ybut alas, found [ haa not
yet found the means to,contFol the terri-
,bIe agency, and my machine went to
pieces in no time, and ! was greatly dis
couraged. l persevered. however, and
produced this, aud won success. Ishall
build no machine with q thumbscre%,
because a reversal by an inexperienced
person would, cause terrific explosion,
They shall he built like this, where there
can be DO tampcring with them from the
outside Otherwise, my machine would
blow FIRE or steam according as it was
regulated. This much i do not mind
telling you. This verdono lies above the
atmosphere and in the. center of the
earth-for the earth has a hollow center.
1t is chat which comes when needed to
create heat, life, or cold. 1t is affected
by notion and is the chief property of
life as | said. is light. The proper
control of this viii effect the cure of
disease, and can be made to produce life.
The unit below the duois life, and by
the segregation Of this principle life is
produced Therefore, amachine can be
made not only to, cure disease, but to-
actually produce PARTICLES Of life. The
arrest or operation Of verdone causes all
things, and verdone is the only property
in theouniverse that can burn" i9W l7e

TUE stories that come from the scene of
the late fierce storm in the West surpass
anything of the same type that We recall
It is reported that not only human beings,
but cattle, hogs and horses, were whirled
into the air and carried great distance.
Enos Gordon is named as man who
was thus treated by the gale, aud 1t Is ac-
tually asserted that there were instances
In which houses oil some size were carried
blythe wind to considerable distance.
Deaths from lightning are also said to
have added to the terrors OF the situation,
and names are given Of persons who so
peaished. Whatever there may be Of
overdIawing in some of the pictures sent
to Us there is unfortunately no room to
Soubt that the mortality and destruction
at Marshfeld, in Missouri, have been in
no wise oyer.stated. Further reports do
not diminish the number OF the dead or
wounded or place lower estimate on the
universal nature Of the calamity. So far
as We know, the ruin Of considerable
town by the mere force Of hurricane has
hitherto, except in the tropics, been with
out parallel.

a Talk With Mr.. NInian BeaII, ofLiberfy
District, who Imparts Much Valuable
Information TO an lnteIiIEeneer Repre-,
sentative.
A representative Of the ISrELIIGEScEH
met with Mr. Ninlan Beall, of West Lib.
erty district, this county, in the city yes
terday, and had an interesting interview
with him in regard to sheep, wool, crops
and agricultural matters generally. Mr..
Beall is one OF the noted breeders OF Sax.
ony sheep in this part Of the country. No
man raises finer wool or gets more Tor
it, take one year with another. He is one
OF the sheep men who have kept up the
sa1ony blood, resisting the temptation to
20 into the heavy wooled Spanish mixtures,
10 which most breeders in this region
have yielded. He has been in the bust.
ness since 1874, and ranks as one OF the
veterans among wool growers. He is
known to all Eastern buyers, and never
has to advertise his wool for sale,
or make any effort whatever to
market 1t. For ten years Alec. Pat.
teson Esq. has been the purchaser Of Mr..
Beall's wool, and Alec. is dealer who
knows what good wool is when he sees it.
Last year Wasthe first time that somebody
else got in ahead Of Patterson and bought
MIR. BealIs wool.
Our reporter INTERCEPTED Mr.. B. freely
in regard to wool prospects this season,
and as to the condition Of the wool at this
time on the sleeps back, and was inform.
ed as follows: He expects to see wool
open out at pretty high prices, but has no
idea that the extravagant ideas Of some
parties who have been prophesying on
the subject will be realized. He thinks It
possible that such wool as he raises will
command Is cents. Last year he sold for
so, early in the season. His wool Is in
first class condition, his sheep having
wintered well. They were fed grain twice
day, are now fat and strong, and their
fleece will be ready for shearing by the lst
OF May. They will shear from three 10
three and three.quarter pounds per head.
He has 500 head OF sheep, and last wear
they sheaIed l,s0O pounds Of wool, which
was three and thIee.fiths pounds to The
fleece. They will do full Us we'll this
season,
