a Republican to the United States
Senate in place of Harris, with the
election Of the Republican State
ticket, and this is assured. There is
danger growing out of divisions in the
Republican ranks in the First and
Second Congressional Districts, now
represented by Aouk and Pettibone,
of them losing their Districts, owing
to the nomination OF Hughes to
succeed .Woodcock as Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue of
the Fifth Collection District,
which nomination was made at the
urgent request Of Mr.. Houk, and is
bitterly condemned by the Republi-
cans of the State, and is injuring Mr..
Houk's prospects for a denomination.
Mr., Houk has aformidable competitor
fer the Republican nomination for
Congress in the person of Colonel
VIM. Rule, editor of the Knoxville
Chronicle. The feeling between the
friends Of Mr.. Houk and Mr.. Rule is
becoming very bitter, as is indicated
by the fact that in the two counties Of
the district in which conventions have
been held, two full sets of delegates
have been appointed, one for Mr.,
HoVk and enc for Mr.. Rule. In Pet
tibone's district Hon. A. A Taylor is
a strong contestant for the nomina-
ton. The contest between Pettibone
aud Taylor has already become acri
monious, and threatens a break up in
the Congressional convention, and the
running Of the two Republican candi>
dates, which would give the district to
the Democrats.

PA" said a little boy, what makes
people pray

pray fer-that is, they ask the Lord to
save their souls"
And if l pray will the Lord save
my soul?'
Yes, when you pray with faith,
your prayer will be answered"
flow with iaith?"
"Why, if you pray, believing at
the time that your prayer will be
answered"
But how can | pray that way if l
don't know. If | knowed that | could
get what [ praS for. then | could
believe that | would get it and could
pray with what did you call it, par
Faith"
Faith repeated the child. "If l
was to believe that by praying for a
goat that | could get him, and was to
pray. would | get him?'
NO"
But | want a goat, and if l was to
pray I'd have to pray for one, Pa,

POmpey's Pillar.
New York Times

Although Alexandria has lost her
obelisk, she still retains another mon
ument of almost equal historical value,
though inferior antiquity, for which
many a scientist must be trembling at
this moment. Quitting Alexandria
by the eastern gate, you see before you
on a low rising ground a tall, slender
column of red granite, IS feet in hight,
of a form or irish Enthusiastically Gre
clan. This is the far famed "Pompey's
Pillar" of European guide books,
which give many ingeniously erroneous
explanations of its peculiar name. In
reality, it seems to have no connection
with CAESARS i'll fated rival beyond
the somewhat remote one of his having
been murdered neal the spot. Prof.
Kingsly was probably right in assert
ing it to be the sole survivor OF the
400 columns of the Serapeion, or great
Temple of Scraps. 1t is an object of
curiosity with tourists of all lands,
and Arab peddlers are always lowering
around it with authentic" fragments
of granite from its base, enough of
which have been sold, not merely to
make another column of equal size,
but to build the whole Serapeion over
again. Some years ago a party of
registering British bluejackets from a
man of-war in the harbor, conceived
the idea of celebrating the anniversary
of Trafalgar by scaling the pillar and
emptying a can of grog on its top in
honor of Admiral Nelson. They ac-
complished their purpose by means Of
a large kite, with a rope attached to it,
and having enjoyed their aerial picnic
for more than an hour, descended safely
amid the shouts of several thousand
Arabs, who had assembled to witness

Improved Motive Power.

The discovery Of rotary or any other
kind Of steam engine that wonld overcome
the dead points. has long occupied and taxed
the mental powers of machinists and master
mechanics, but it seems to have been left for
Henry Thebault, Of Walla Walla, to solve
the difficult problem. and bring to light
rotary engine that meets the wants of ma
chinists where economy of fuel, frictions les
sened and simplicity Of construction, Is
secured, all combined IL one and the same
piece Of machinery.
On the 1th Of September, lSS2, Henry
Thebault was granted patent on his newly
improved motive power. The drawings ex-
hibited to the writer, show the full princi-
pies OF construction of this new motor and
display the possession Of no inconsiderable
amount Of genius, on the part OF the inven'
tor. The writer Of this is not an engineer,
but he is strongly impressed with the belief
that its introduction will supersede the Use,
in time, of the old fashioned engine.
1t is claimed for this new rotary engine,
that there is economy OF space occupied,
economy Of metal used in building, simple
ity and economy In construction, no brass or
costly metal required, other than cast iron !;
the shafts and bolts alone are of wrought
iron, no skill is required in Iutting It TO-
gether. II is claimed, too, that 1t furnishes
greater power from q given quantity of
steam; it Is less complicated than any other
form of steam engine. is not liable to get out
OF order, all the expansion of the steam
utilized, economical use Of steam and con-
seauent saving Of fuel. There being few
working parts there is comparatively little
resistance. there is no reciprocating motion,
il has a steady motion, has but little jar,
and on tina, account is easily kept in place,
IT saves packing, metal packing used exclu-
sively, and has no dead points. His is the
great desideratum attained that during the
last fig,y years the brains Of engineers las
been so much puzzled over.
In this engine there are two exhausts to
every revolution. The rock valve and eccen-
tric, common to all engines, are used in its
construction. 1t is further claimed that a
large engine will run as well as small one
and that it can be applied to all purposes for
which steam is used; that engines Of this
make can be made and equipped complete
for one-halt the price Of the old style engine
The writer concludes that II one-half is
:rue tina. is claimed for it, that i. will create
4 revolution in the manufacture of steam en-
gines.
l, is the purpose Of the inventor, as soon
as practicable, 10 demonstrate its utility,
and introduce If into general use. l: is
without doubt Just the power required to
propel printing presses, for pumping water,
grinding chop for ranchers, driving thresh-
ers, and indeed any kind Of machinery
where economy is an important considera-
ton. s
