A New Motor.

As application has been made at the
Patent Office for a patent on new
motor. 1t is called a "Zeromotor." 1t
is attracting great deal Of attention in
Washington. The President, all his
Cabinet officers and many of the Sena-
tors have taken look at it. A Wash
ington dispatch, speaking of it, says:
"The inventor does not claim that ii
is a perpetual motion, but, if he does
not claim too much in his specification,
there seems to be no good reason why
the engine, which is self-starting, should
not run forever. If there is no loss of
material from leakage, there will be no
occasion to replenish the amount with
which compartment of the motor is
originally charged. Apparently there
will be no expense attending the running
of the engine. Like Artemus Wards
celebrated horse hay-rake, the apparatus
is self expanding, self contracting and
self-righteous. 1t adapts itself to all
conditions of temperature and location.
1t can be employed to produce heat, as
well as motive power, to persons navi.
eating polar seas. 1t is not liable to
explosions, as all kinds of steam engines
are"
If il is all that it is claimed to be, it is
certainly something wonderful.

has lived with his parents, compelling
them by threats of violence to give him
money. Sunday night, while intoxi-

his father and mother unless they salts
fed his demands. His father ran out of
the room in terror. but his mother was
kept back by force. Declaring that she
had no money, Der son aimed revolver

her in the left temple. She fell on the

A POINT SCORED AGAINST Mr.. CoNK-
LISG.-An Albany On. " dispatch
,tates that the programme was to have
he Conkling- Platt designations sent to
hat city Monday, to enable the Cover,
cor to give the formal notice to the
Legislature in session to reflect them to
The United States Senate next Tuesday,
under the law authorizing the two
houses to proceed to fill a vacancy on
he second Tuesday after notification.
The authorizing Republicans in the
State Senate, by a smart maneuvre,
headed off this project. They promptly
moved and carried an adjournment Of
he Senate just ten minutes before the
Governors secretary arrived in the Sen
.te chamber with the notification. The
consequence is that no election can take
place before May 81.

The Philadelphia american having
stated that the Post Office Department
has not been a self supporting institu-

the statement erroneous. The depart
ment, says the Record, more than paid
for itself in 1881, 1885, 1887, 1848, 1849,
1850, 1851 and 1865. In each of these
eight fiscal years the revenue from the
postal service exceeded its cost, while
down to and including the fiscal year of
1859 the aggregate income of the depart
ment was $115,214. $50. as against total
expenditure of $113, SO5. 759. exhibiting
a clear profit of 81, 400. 1877.

Mr.. Thos. NJ. Nichol, who had charge
of General Garfeld's correspondence
during the late campaign, has written a
lengthy letter setting forth the circum'
stances under which the celebrated Fifth
avenue conference of last year was called,
its incidents and its results. 1t appears
from Mr.. Nichols story that General
Garfield attended this conference at the
earnest request of Mr.. Conkling's friends,
who doubted the Senator'S loyalty aud
hoped that the stimulus of some extraor-
binary occasion might cause him to enter
actively into the campaign. General
Garfield came. the Senator avoided meet
ing him, and only went into the canvass
after it had opened and was being Vigor-
ously prosecuted.

Governor Cobb, of Alabama, having
been appealed to for the pardon of a
man recently convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to the penitentiary, has
written a lengthy letter addressed to
whom it may concern" in which he
carefully reviews the whole subject of
the pardoning power. He declines to
grant the application under question,
and then says the pardoning power is a
great trust for the present committed to
him, and that he will not abuse it, as be
understands it, no matter how moved by
his own inclinations or how strongly
solicited by others.

MIR. Cary w. Jones, of Norfolk, Va.
makes an interesting exhibit of the in.
dustrial and commercial status of that
city and vicinity in work just issued
from the VIrgtntGn press under the title
Of Norfolk as Business Centre. 1t

ports of Norfolk, which in 1865 amount
ed to but $11, 538, rose last year to $751;
895, 15S; the cotton trade showing an in
crease from 6,174 bales in 1858-59 to
585, 514 bales for the first six months of
the cotton year of 1Ss0-s1. Norfolk has
an unrivalled harbor and possesses great
advantages as a shipping point. When

THE MISSISSIPPI SENAToRsHIP. From
letters received in Washington lately
from Mississippi, it is believed to be quite
certain that the Legislature to be elected
in the coming fall will be favorable to
the return of Mr.. Lamar to the Senate.
This will be good news, for there is pro.
baby no statesman of Mississippi who
can so well serve the interests of that

The gerrym lnder of Illinois by the
bill fixed up by the Republican Senate
Of that State, is very neat job. Il
gives the Republicans fifteen certain and
seventeen probable Representatives in
stead Of fourteen members they now
possess under the old gerrymander. This
is doing very well in view of the fact
that the two parties are nearly equal in
strength in the State.

BIr Conkling, as an able lawyer,
ought to have known that there is az
unfortunate unity about conspiracy
which renders it extremely dangerous
for one party to it to confess upor
another unless he can do so beneath the
safeguard of States evidence. Unfor
tunately there is no States evidence il
politics, and Mr.. COnkling's testimony
has sufficed 10 convict both him and the
President of a conspiracy to divide th'
great offices for political instead of gov

BUCKWHEAT CARES.
fFrom the Ne,e York TiriJuns.l

From The Nep York Tibane.l
Science has even revolutionizod the
method Of making buckwheat cakes. The
old way. setting to raise over night, sour
ing, fermentipg. accompanying and destroy
Ing the nutrient part Of tho tiour, car
bonic acid gas was produced and tho cakes
made light. But . ~well.founded suspicion
has always existed that ~buckwheat cakes
made In this manner are unwholesome
and indigestible. because the chemical
action that takes place so alters the -four
from its original character that the sour
ing or decomposing process continues In
the stomach and gives rise to dyspepsia
and kindred troubles.
The new way does away with all decom-
posing. all fermenting or %souring. and
places upon our tables smoking hot buck.
wheats in less than 10 minutes. The
leavening element Of the new process,
which 10 the "RoyAl Baking Powder" be-
ing mixed with the flour and moisture
added, evolves tho leavening gas, and In
no way changes the dough from Its orig
inal sweet and nutritious condition.
In point Of healthiulness, II 10 o positive
fact that buckwheat and griddle cakes
made in this way with the "Royal" pow
der are very healthy. and can be eaten with
IMMUNITY by dyspeptics and invalids with
out discomfort.
Various preparations and mixtures have
been put on the market from time to time
to take the place Of the Royal Baking
Powder" such a. 'sslf. raising or ''grid.
die cake" fiours, but analysis shows many
OF them to DO made from unwholesoms
substitutes and strong acids. which have .
corroding effect on the membranes OF the
stomach. It 10 much safer for all consum.
ers to purchase flour themselves that they
know to be good and reliable, and add the
baking powder ut . considerable saving.
than to purchase any OF tho so-called
'.self.raising" tiours. which are usually
compounds Of the vilest nature, contain
ing alum or phosphates. 1t Is stated that
three.fourths Of the "seli.raisins buck.
wheat sold in the market 10 nothing more
than "middlings." or tho dark.colored
siftings and impurities which form tho
refuse In the manufacture OF the higher
grades Of flour.
The following Is q good recipe and most
economical:
Quick BucxwHEAr CAKEs.-To n pint
Of buckwheat fiour. while dry. add two
teaspoonfuls ROYAL BAKING POWDER, .
teaspoonful salt. one scant tablespoonful
brown sugar or New Orleans molasses TO
make them brown, mix we'll together, and
when ready to bake add q pint cold
water or sufficient to form Q batter, stir
but little. and bake Immediately on o hot
griddle.
70 The Baking Powder should never be
put into the batter. but always mixed with
iiour in . dry state.
