WASHINGTON, September 4.-Attornsy
General Maovsssh, who has conducted
correspondents with the Pennsylvania
Railroad oficials for the removal Of the
President to Long Branch. says the
route over which the special train would
proceed will be direct from Washington
to West Philadelphia and thence to
Monmouth junction. N. J. At the lat
ter point the special train will leave the
main line Of the Pennsylvania rosd and
proceed to ~Jsmesburg. N. j., where II
will take the regular Long Branch road.
The train be thought would run about
forty miles per hour. and did not think
the President would experience any dis
turbsnce Whatever from this high rate Of
speed, owing to the fact that . CON.
trivancs has been adopted which would
prevent any jarripg or jostlins to the
patients couch.

From the Independent N. Y, March a, 1881.
In a small illustrated book Of sixty.three
pages, entitled "Genius Rewarded; or,
The Story OF the Sewing Machine"
Colonel Z. II. Ropes, relates the discovery
and invention OF the first practically sue.
cessful sewing machine" by Isaac Merritt
Singer, IN the year 1850, and the growth
and extent Of the business now carried on
by the Singer Manufacturing Company.
The story Is told in an interesting manner,
commencing with an account oil the dis
appointments and trials experienced by
the inventor and his associates, who, with
q capital Of $40, carried on and completed
the work, destined 10 create oneol largest
manufacturing corporations In the coun.
try. To an impartial reader, the claim made
by Mr.. Singer, that bis invention proved
to be the first suCcessfHl sewing machine
ever produced, must seem thoroughly
Fs%ubstantiated. On the 2lst psge Of the
little volume o under consideration, the
peCuliarities Of the Howe and Singer ms.
chimes are tabulated. OF the seven dis.
tinct features Of the Singer machine, six
are not in general use, while those OF the
Howe machine are entirely obsolete. II is
also shown that Elias Howe admitted that
the FIRST inventor Of q machine for sewing
a seam by means Of an eye.pointed needle
was Walter Hunt, whose claim Ia this re.
spect has always been conceded by the
Singer Company. The process OF manu-.
iaCture ia fully described and illustrated in
Colonel Ropes book, and an entire history
given Of the rise and progress OF the Singer
Manufacturing Company, whose works at
E~lizSbethport are the largest Of their kind
In the world. Aside from settling in rea.
Bonable minds the vexed questions as 10
tho invention Of the sewing machine, the
startling, %dCtion.like manner In which the
story Is told renders Colonel Ropes little
work o most interesting contribution 10
the literature Of lite class. Ddw

GHR O~hesapeake& Ohio Canal Company
Is contemplating an Improvement, the
object Of which ia to increase Transporter
ton facilities, and to lessen the rates on
coal between Cumberland, Nd, and Wash
inEton. Incidentally, this involves q pos
sibIe reduction in rates on Cumberland
coal from Washington TO other points, as
considerable quantities Of this coal are
shipped from Georgetown by steamer.
The proposed change is due TO the fact OF q
difference between the Baltimore 4 Ohio
Road and the Cumberland Canal Compa'
ny. The railroad charges 81 81 q ton from
Cumberland to Baltimore or Wash
iugton, while the canal company
could move the coal and make q
fair profit al eIghty.6ve cents. The exist
ing Dimensions Of the canal prevent the
transaction Of the maximum Of business
at the minimum Of cost. 1t Is accordingly
proposed to leugthen the locks 100 feet,
80 that two loaded canal boats, each ninety
feet long, may be passed through the locks
together. A patented device has been OBJ
tanned, which would make but a single
displacement Of water necessary Tor the
two boats carrying 24O tons. 1t is claimed
that both boats can be propelled by .
power which only exceeds by n sixth
that which 10 required for a single boat
carrying not more than 100 tons, aud that
the two boats can be manned by the crew
required for a single boat. The cost Of
frightening the locks is estimated at $780,
900, or $1,000 for each lock.

HELP YOURsELF.-Young men depend al
together too much OH somebody else to get a
life in the world. They don't rely enough on
themselves. The day of "self-made men"
appears to be passing. The young men of the
present age fswn around politicians, doing
their dirty work and helping along disreputa-
BILE schemes, in hope to be appointed to some
position where the work is light and the pay
heavy. This is no way to succeed, You can
not build up a reputation or fortune on the
expense of others. You mast be the architect
of your own fortunes. Don't ask anybody
else to help you get an education or anything
else. Ten thousand men are now serving
their day and generation with usefulness and
honor, who never asked anybody to grind an
axe for them. Young man, paddle your own
canoe, and ten to one you will reach the win
ming stake ahead of any competitor who re-
lied upon rich relatives or political friends to
help him along.

ANOTHER ROBBERY NEAR ATHENs.-Las
night the residence of Mrs. Joseph MKin-

southeast of here, was entered by two mask
ed men who presented pistols to the heads Of
grand child, Miss Mary Wheaton, and Mr..
William Mallory, who lived with them, and
demanded money. Mallory grapped with
his assailant and would have succeeded in Sc
curing him if the other had not intcrfered.-
The girl ran for help but was pursued and
dragged back to the house. The struggle
continued for q time, but the girl and NAL
lory were overpowered, both having made Il
desperate resistance and received severe inju-

about the head. The thieves escaped with
about 5000 in money of the cid lady's, and a

unsound in the doctrines was lookei
