An Invention Destined 10 RevoluEiSzs:ze
the System, OF lifting water

Ever since mining attained any depti
on the ComstOrk the difficulties which
attend the hosting of large bodies o.
water, Systematically and eitectually
have been stumbling blocks in the way
OF progress. The best minds on the
coast have grappled with the subject
and at best a clumsy and inefficient APP
| paratus has been the only result. John
l.. Dixon of this city, who is employed
in the V. & T. machine shops has per-
fected the model Of a pump which,
while combining lightness with cheap
hess, will fill every requirement. The
pump consists of hollow ircn tubes fit
ting one inside the other with water
tight joints each having a fifty foot
slide. The parts are provided with
cross bars connected with the surface by
steel rods. Acting in connection with
these rods are wire ropes and traverse
pulieys. The manner in which the
hydraulic and pneumatic pressure is
utilized can only be understood by a
personal inspection of the model and Il
thorough knowledge of the laws which
govern the philosophy Of pumping.
The mere raising of water in large vol
umes in the least which the inventor
claims for it. 1t can be controlled by
the aid of electricity by the President of
the company sitting in his Office in San
Francisco. For instance, We're the Vel
low Jacket provided with Il Dixon pump
and the stock was crawling up to six on
the street, and there Were symptoms of
a rise before the President of the COM
pany and the short interest were ready;
by simply turning on \ current, the ira
verse bars would be liberated and the
pump sections would fall one inside the
other, like Il telescope or Il japanese
fishing rod. In fact, the pump and all
its belongings would disappear into the
bowels of the earth. The news report |
erS could then be brought to view the |
shaft and seeing no pump, would send |
the news abroad that there had been an |
other break of the pump and the stock,
to the ln!nfllatton, Wouli |
fall 10 So inside Of AN hour. When the |
shorts had been filled ana it becanle de-
-irable for rise, the pump gould be |
hauled i'll place ;ig III, the stock holders
.hhrged 1000 for ''rtpalfs,' and things
.ou!d go on dis before. With the Old
fashioned pumping apparatus such as
ire used III the S,tvAge, the breaks can
lot be nicely sutg~ti; frequently in
act, the pump Iuis 100 1!sl Wnen not

lew pump the conip,,uy's Office in San
Francisco can keep 4 record Of every
movement Of the rod and scOot it
Town the shaft at any time when they

Certainly, the bungling manner in
which pump rods are broken Of late

The public have always been lacking
confidence in pawnbrokers' shops, from
the fact that they were here to-day and
away tomorrow, they having no regard
for the patronage Of their customers,
merely trying to take advantage when

exception on this coast, and that is the

"And what in thunder is enough p shouted Jacob. "Speak out at once and don't barley I want to be rid of this matter. It hurts me to go back yer that dr adful day."
 "Well, sir" said John, slowly, "I shall take your daughter and nothing else."
 How Jeannette's face lit up at this. She looked like my own, old open-heart- ed child again.
 Jacob sat down and then got up and then sat down.
 John went on in the same slow tone : "Your reputation stands high, sir. never knew you to refuse just pay ment," and he kicked away slowly at the sand again.
 Jacob hesitated, then he went down the steps and seized John by the hand.
 2'' You are right, sir," said he. "I never have dishonored 8 note of my hand, and I never will besides, l be- ieve you are worthy of Jeannette, and I was an old fool after all Mote. A man is quick enough to call himself an old fool, but let not another man say it for him." There she is, go take her |: and Sally" he said to me, while I tried to keep my face from looking too happy, " if anybody says anything about this matter, tell them only paid my debts, as every honest man should"
 That joke of John Bemuth's was the touch-stone to his heart.

He Trapped Him.

In the old days when fugitive slaves found refuge in Oberlin, Ohio, MT. S., one of the local managers of the under ground railroad, had reason to suspect that 8 neighbor, who pretended to friendship, would give him away with very little ceremony. One day he told his neighbor that he wanted his assist ance. "I had couple of darkies come to my place last night" he said, "and propose to protect them. If any one comes after them let me know so that I can be prepared" That night his house was surrounded by gang in search of fugitives and demanded their surrender. He denied that he had any, and they in- sisted on searching the house, but found nothing. "Now see here," said the leader, angrily, "you've got them slaves, and do you fork 'em over. Didn't you tell MT. W. this morning that you had a couple of darkies come last night ?" s. dropped his head and could say noth- ing. "Well, now, where are they ?" "In the barn, sir" faltered MT. s. "Show them to us at once l" They pro- ceeded to the barn, and s. led them in great agitation to stable. "Oh, please sirs, don't hurt me, and you may have them" Then he tremblingly opened the stable and said: "Those are the dalkies, gentlemen p And he pointed to pair of black lambs which had been born the night previous.

Life in Bombay.

A breach of promise case at Bombay had curious ending the other day. A contract of marriage of 8 Bengalee young lad of fifteen or sixteen years of age with girl eleven or twelve sum- mers, of the blacksmith caste, was en- tered into between the parents in due form, and all the preliminary rites and ceremonies, excepting those performed on the day of marriage, were gone through; friends and relatives on both sides We're entertained with feasting, the tumeric paste was exchanged between the bride and bridegroom and presents of clothes were made, the nuptial thread was worn, etc. The marriage was to take place on the Saturday following. On Thursday the boy was absent from his home the whole night. This came to the notice of the girls parents, who at once withdrew their consent to the marriage. But as loss of caste on either side was sure to follow the post ponement of marriage beyond the hour fixed for it, the friends of the girl succeeded in hunting out a widower, and those of the boy were also fortunate enough to secure the hand of girl of nine, and thus, in place of one, two weddings took place at the same time.

Doing Nothing.

Perhaps those youths who are satis- fled with "doing nothing" may see their mistake from the following anec- dote:
 There was boy in school once who was very lazy. He would sit on his seat all day and do nothing. He never made any noise, or disturbed any one. He never whispered, or got into any mis- chief. The master never caught him at tricks.
 One day as he sat still and quiet, the master came along by him and struck him smart blow with ferule. The boy jumped at the unexpected blow, and cried out:
 II ain't doing nothingP'
 "That's just it," said the master "I want you to do something"
 So with some people. They think, like the boy, that if they do nothing wicked, they are right. We must no, only "cease to do evil," but "learn to do we'll"

Another Channel Scheme.

Another scheme for crossing the Eng
 fish channel by railway has just appear ed. The originator is MT. Bradford Leslie, the engineer of the East India railway company, who boldly proposes to travel into France through cylin- drical steel tube submerged 40 feet be- low the surface of the water. The tube would be so ballasted as to make it weigh 1} tons to the foot run less than the water displaced, it's buoyancy being counterbalanced by moorings at every 250 feet. At the shore ends it would be laid in dredged or excavated channels, and would be made to rise from the mid channel depths by easy gradients. The cost of carrying out this scheme is esti- mated at s8,OOO,OO0.

Keeping Children Home.

A mother who had several fun-loving boys so interested them that they pre- ferred to spend their evenings at home, instead of seeking amusement out-of- doors or going off with questionable companions. The way she did it is told in her own language:
 I remember that children are chil- dren, and must have amusements. I fear that the abhorrence with which some good parents regard any play for their children is the reason why children go away for pleasure.
 Husband and used to read history, and at the end of each chapter ask some questions, requiring the answer to be looked up if not given correctly.
 We follow a similar plan with the children sometimes we play one game and sometimes another, always planning with books, stories, plays, or treats of some kind, to make the evenings at home more attractive than they can be made abroad.
 When there is 8 good concert, lec- ture or entertainment, we all go togeth- CT to enjoy it; for whatever is worth the price of admission to us older people, is equally valuable to the children; and we let them see that we spare no expense where it is to their advantage to be out of an evening.
 But the greater number of our even- lngs are spent quietly at home. Some- times it requires quite an effort to sit quietly, talking and playing with them, when my work basket is filled with un- finished work, and books and papers lie unread on the table.
 But as the years go by, and I see my boys and girls growing into home-lov- ing, modest young men and maidens, l am glad that made it my rule to give the best of myself to my family.

OLD DREAMS.

Where are thy footsteps was wont to hear, OSpring, in pauses of the blackbird's song <; hear them not; the world has held mine ear With it's persistent sounds, too long, too long !! The footfalls and the sweeping robes of Spring, How, once hailed them as life's full delight. Now, little moved hear the blackbird sing, {, As blind men wake not at the sudden light. Nay, not unmoved But yestereve stood Beneath thee, throned, queen songstress in
 the beech; And for one moment heaven was that green
 wood,
 And tho old dreams went by, too deep for
 speech. One moment-it was passed; the gusty breeze Brought laughter and rough voices from the
 lane;
 Night, like mist, clothed round the darkening
 trees ...s And was with the world that mocks again So near is Eden, yet so far; it lies
 No angel-guarded gate, too far for sight; We breathe, we touch it, yet our blinded eyes Still seek it every way except the right.

Not Pleasant Drinking.

It is from the Passaic river that Jer- sey City and Newark draw their sup plies of drinking water. With what profound self-congratulation must the topers of either city read the evidence of this fact l Dead animals, dead fish and coal tar are to be found in the river ever day. Barges of manure are con- stantly unloaded above the water works. The superintendent of the Passaic gas- works confesses to pouring three gal Ions of ammonia and one gallon of coal tar into the stream daily. Chief of Po- lice, Garret H. Otis, chad noticed dead sheep, dead dogs and other animals floating in the river; and the decom- posed body of a negro, who had been missing since December, was lately taken out of the stream it was not the only human remains taken out of the river" Fom all of which it is easy to infer that, though it be a non-intoxi- cant beverage, Passaic water cannot be accused of having no body.
