a young New Yorker has patented
what he calls water skates. The skate
is an air vessel made of zinc and her
medically sealed; is about five feet in
length, ten inches broad and five inches
deep, with vertical sides, and tapers of
fore and aft, or at the toe and heel, like
steamboat. on the deck, or upper
surface, there is a socket into which the
foot is set, the opening being guarded
by a rim of metal to keep the water from
washing into the socket. The bottom
is fitted with double gang of automat-
| ic paddles, one gang forward and the
former aft, with five blades in each
gang. The blades are set on swiyels in
a 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 Of

rests so as to begin a forward move

backward closes the blades and gives 8
purchase on the water that materially
aids in propulsion. Each skate weighs
about eight pounds, but in the water
owing TO its buoyancy, it has no per-
ceptible weight on the foot. The other
day the inventor walked across the sur
face Of the Harlem river on them. the
movement being a sort OF gliding step
in which the skate is not lifted out OF

Southern Prosperity.

There are now more merchant buy
ers from the South in New York than
at any corresponding period since 1860.
A member of the firm Of A. I. Stewart
81 Co. said to a Herald reporter on Sat
urday:
at is the universal testimony of men
from the South, and l have cOnversed
with hundreds of them, that they will
realize more money from cotton this
wear than ever before. The crop is
large and good, and the prices obtained
are satisfactory. In Louisiana the SUI
gar crop, which is nearly mature, prom
ises to be large, and prices are from q
cent to a cent and n half higher than
last year. The rice Grop is large, pri-
ces are good and promise to remain so.
Wheat in Texas, which was a failure
last year, yields more than an average
crop this year, and the growth of cot
ton Il ,3OO,000) is considerably ahead.
This l have from half dozen of the
first men in the State, and there is very
little variation in their figures. There
is better feeling than ever among
Southern men, and they are satisfied
with the political situation. They be-
| lieve Hancock will be elected, but, in
general terms, it is due to the belief
| that the bloody shirt business is buried
| for good and forever"
And in regard to the development of
cotton manufacturing at the south, the
| Herald says:
For statistics concerning the cot
ton mills of the south, the reporter
/ porter was referred to Messrs. Grant q
Co, of this city, dealers in textile ma
chinery and family supplies. In Ala
bama, Mr.. Grant calculates, there are
900 spindles and 900 looms in opera
ton, emf loving $500 operatives and a
capital of over 81 100000. Georgia has
poe, 900 spindles and between 5000 and
6,OOO looms, employs 10000 hands and
nearly S5,OO0,000 capital. North Caro-
lima has over 100000 spindles and 1900
looms, and Mississippi has 10000 spin
! invested is somewhere near $10,000,000,
and the number of employees about
| 10000. They are running principally
on the southern capital, with northern
holder here and there interested enough
to secure an account. The motive pow
er is principally water, and the labor
white. The machinery in use was most
" new and from England. Southern
men are here constantly watching
for new inventions in machinery and
taking advantage of their observations.
Mills in the south are going up rapidly,
and so great is the demand from all
quarters that an order for a complete
outfit for mill could not be executed
within year. In every quarter where
inquiry was made the same answer was
met: awe are on top of the hill OF
prosperity, and likely to remain there
for long time to come

From having been intimate for number

manufacture and its use. There are men in
the communicated known citizens-who
were victims in early life to Syphilis, the
most terrible curse that ever afflicted the hu-
man family, and who have taken the 5. s.
medicine and are now, to all appearances,
and in their own belief, and as free from
faint of disease as the first man, fresh from
the hands of his Maker. Delicacy OF course
forbids their public recommendations of this
medicine, but / am allowed to refer the
skeptic privately to those who will endorse
everything that can be said in its favor:
Being professionally much opposed to en-
dorsing or recommending nostTums OF secret
remedies, it is with hesitation ] attach my
name to this article; but l know whereof l
speak when l say that our science has not
yet made public combination equal to this
for the purpose indicated. The greatest
boon the government could bestow on hun
dreds of thousands of its citizens would be
to purchase this receipt of its proprietors,
and make it public for the benefit of the
