The Weather

Perhaps no one can remember colder winter
than tho past one nor, a later spring than tho
present. To day scarcely q bud has swelled on
any tree except poplars aud naples and they are
just beginning to show. Cattle can get nothing
tn tho woods, while usually by this time leaves
are half grown and grass is plentiful. We
notice In many poaoh orchards thore will be no
blooms, the fruit having been killed in the bud.
Notwithstanding this our farmers, confident that
the seasons have novor failed, arc busy prepar-
int their land for large crops Of corn aud cotton.
IT,. right, for whom spring sets in it will be
at once. There will be no tagging Of it in the
lap Of winter, and the industrious farmer who
has his land ready can plant his crop at once
aud rapidly. In the cold winter NO have the
promise of good crop year and wo trust tho
promise will be realized. Aaother good crop
will give us real start and enable the farmer
to run on tho cash system. lie will then mako
q profit every year and be Independent.

tor the practice and it became almost univer-

in tho presence Of courts of justice in stores

buckled around them. In State of semi-
pence we seemed to be in state Of war, and
under the circumstances of heavy taxation,
corrupt legislation and stealing, the people
became desperate and upon slight affront
tho pistol was used. This practice continued
to grow and feed upon itself, liquor coming
in to enhance ts banefu effeots, so that hu-
man lifo became of little value and was
takon on slight provocation. Tho cause has
ceased to exist and the practice should cease
also. We aro 10 o stateof poace and pros.

Humbug or Not? keeiy Keep "a
komin!

1t is three years slice NJ. keely of
Philadelphia, announced the discovery
OF a wonderful "vapor," or expansive
force, capable OF the most eEtraordlnar..
things. such as running u train Of car
one hundred miles without fire og steaa.,
and with only a pint OF water
The affair was regarded as an ham
bug, or downright swindle although
the fact that Il number OF wealthy bus
ness men held stock in the "Kee,y
Motor company, seem to guarantee Il
against fraud.
And now after many experiments. II
is said kcely has demonstrated his sue
cess. The Philadelphia Rccori n u
the leading papers OF the city has the
following:
About twenty gentlemen prominent
in trade manufacture and finance wit
l c sed some experiments in the this
city last evening at the famous keely
motor. La every respect the expert
ments were surprisingly successful. The
generator was first shown TO be entirely
empty by opening Its cocks and cut-offs.
A gill of water drawn from a cooler was
then poured into the machine, after
which a couple Of movements ola small!
lever and the turning of a cutoff de-
veloped about $4,000 of energy, as in
dictated by a heavily weighted lever.
Mr.. Keely claims to have shown a pow
err of 81 900 pounds in the same way
on this machiue, and to be able to do 1t
at any time. The elastic nature of this
''etheric vapor' generated was next
demonstrated by experiments in gune-
nv. A peculiarly constructed cannon,
of inch bore, was connected with the
generator by a copper tube of small
bore, and at each expulsion of vapor
induced by the turn of a cut-off) a
bullet would be driven with terrific
force and with a loud report into a tar
get. Four inches of timber were pierre
ed with the greatest ease, although Mr..
force was used. He can discharge the
u about eight times IN a minute.
There is neither recoll, heat o smoke.
The vibratory engine was next put I'm
| motion by means of vapor conveyed %
feet or more through tiny pipes. A
large wheel was made to revolve steadily
and with SO much force that the strength
of a man exerted by means of a four
feet lever was unable to stop it. One
| gill of water is said to be sufficient
to run the engine for six hours. In de-
monstrating the power of vibration to
to produce motion, Mr.. Keely caused a
copper glcbe, ten inches in diameter,
suspended by centrepoints in a meta
ring and supported by short legs, to re.
volve with great rapldity, although 1t
was completely insulated by heavy sheets
of plate glass, and vibrations were con
Quoted to the glass through a solid steel
rod three feet long. Nr. Keely says
the tny thing that now stands betweeI
him and the complete success of his
labors is the perfection of some minor
features of his engine. Those present
last night were unanimous IN expression
of wonder at what they saw, and no one
pretended to explain the phenomena
presented. There seemed to be no OPP
portunity for trickcry of any kind, and
every facility was afforded tor the most
thorough examination Of the machine
