News comes from Chicago that Mir. J. B. Atwater, an inventor of some prominence, has received patents on sn unique motor. It is founded on this principle: The poles of an electromagnet are changed to 6 point distant from where they are usually located. By this transfer a stroke of from five to thirty inches is secured in a reciprocsting or an oscillating engine, without breaking the current which connects the bat. tery with the motor. With the greatly increased power thus gained there is no increased bat tery necessary. The power gain ed is said to be continuous and the cost is at a minimum. The machine will shortly be placed on exhibition. Scientific men agree that many of it's principles are new to science, and that if may work revolution in motors.

Remarkable EscaDes

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind, had a very narrow escape from death. This is hls owu story: "One year ago was in the last stages of Consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up. finally got so low that our doctor said l could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased me a bottle of Dr. Win Halls Balsam for the Lungs, which bene- fitted me. continued until I took nine bottles. 1 am now in perfect he alth. hay ing used no other medicine"
 Dr. M. H. Hinsdale, Kenawee, III. reports another remarkable case: "A neighbours wife was attacked with violent lung disease. and beyond help from Quick Consumption. As last resort, the fami- ly were persuaded to try DR. VIM. HALLS s BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS. To the as- tonishme ent of all, by the time she had used six bottles she was able to do her own work. had no idea she could re- cover"
 F.. J. Duesler, of Clayville, N. Y. gives account of hls escape from the same dis ease: "1 was attacked with severe cough which gradually wore OF until found 1 was going into QUICK CONSUMPSION, and some one advised me to try your Dx, WI. HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS which dId, and by the use of two bottles was cured of my cough and regalned my health entirely"
 From the above it is plainly evident that there is 8 cure for consumption, even in the most hopeles cases, and that cure is DR. WM. ALL's BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS. Cures all coughs and colds.

PILES PILES! PILES! A Sure Cure Found at Last Nc
 One need Suffer 1!

A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itch. ing and Liberated Piles has been discov- cred by Dr. Williams, Gan Indian remedy), called Or. Willlam's Indian Ointment. A single box has cured the worst chronic cases of 25 or 30 years standing. No one need suffer five minutes after applying this wonderfully soothing medicine. Lo- tions instruments and electuaries do more harm than good. Williams Ointment absorbs the tumors, allays the intense itching, (particularly at night, after get ting warm in bed,) acts as 8 poultice, gives instant and painless relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itching of the private parts, and for nothing else.
 Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffin berry of Cleveland says about Dr. Williams h. dian Pile Ointment: Ihave used scores of Pile cures, and it affords me pleasure to say that I have never found anything which gave such immediate and perma- nept relief as Dr. Williams Indian Oint. ment.

A dispatch from Washington, dated August 2lst. says: Acting Secretary of the Interior Joselyn yesterday received report from Governor Tritle, of Arizona, in relation to the Indian raids in that part of the country. He states that all is quiet in Arizona, with the exception of raids by several small bands of Indians from the San Carlos agency, in which five citizens were killed, but the perpetrators have escaped punishment. A feeling of inse- cUrity exists among persons liv- ing near the reservation, and work has been abandoned on some mining property near Cliff ton. The inability to get teams to them is the reason for stopping work. Although the miners in one or two places have been threatened by bands of Indians, he does not anticipate trouble to any such extent that the local authorities will not be able to ov- ercome it.

The New York and other pap- CTS are receiving large amount of correspondence from Alexan- dria, but unless one knows what is the constituency of the paper to which the correspondence is sent, the reading of it affords very litte information. There are newspapers which are obliged to assert English cowa rdice and failure and predict English dis- aster and there are others which are not compelled to lean to either one side or the other. This subscription-list bias must always be though of and allowed for.-Ex.

The wheel of progress has turned it's progressive side to Arizona. The valley lands of our great rivers have yielded good crops. Their towns, Phoenix, Florence, Stafford, Tempe and St. John are fiourishing. The mines of Southern Arizona are rich and permanent. The northern section of the Territory has never before been treated so well by Dame Furtune. Mining camps are filled with joyous workers; far mers, tock-rsisers, townsfolk-.all are happy in the enjoyment of peace and plenty.
 Were it not that we have in our midst thousands of treachervus Indians, there would be nothing to cause alarm to the most timid. Courier.

A complication is about to arise in the working ofthe bill restrict. ing Chinese immigration. En . trance was sought at Baltimore the other day for 6 number of Chinamen from Defnarafs, on the ground that they are naturali8ed citizens of Great Britain and Christians, bearing Christian names. The Collector of the Port expressed an opinion that these ChiDamen are exempt from the operations of the law. The fact of their being so-called Christian Chinamen, and bearing Christian names, can have no bearing upon the question. The thing to be considered and decided is the question brought up by their naturalization as British subjects. Should the courts hold that Chinamsn ceases to b. such upon taking the oath of allegiance to the English Government, the act will b. virtually 6 dead letter. Hong Kong, the shipping point and seat of the coolie trade, is c British port and 1colony; and it would be no hard matter to
 evsde the restriction act by giving these coolies naturaliza- tion papers from the British government. It is hardly to be supposed, however, that our Courts will take such 8 view of the case as to make this course possible. The only real danger will be in the attituoe in which We will be placed towards the English government. Should that government look upon it as op- pressive to. its subjects, more serious complications might arise than the nulliflcation of the restriction bill.
