4 Netc Electric RaiIroad.

The model of an electric elevated railroad,
run by new motor invented by DIR. W. F.
Adams, of st. Louis. was put in order in the
exposition building in that city. The power
is distributed from central station, and runs
along a wire laid under the car track, similar
to the cable of a cable road, and gripped in a
similar manner by wheeled grip which com
municates the current to a revolving arma-
ture set between two magnates under the
body of the car. The armature is on sleeve,
which revolves and communicates motion to
minor wheels curiousy geared inside the
track wheels, which then in turn revolve,
check or re-revolve, being at the will of the
conductor. The machine appears to be sue
cess. The length of the model road is $50 feet,
twenty seconds. A full-sized car of twenty
five horse power will shortly be set running in
machinery hall, and this winter it is intended
to have built and in operation an elevated
street railroad the franchise of which is ap-
piled for.

Two beggars, Lame and Lazy, were
in want of bread. One leaned ON his
crutch, the other reclined on his couch.
Lame called on Charity and humbly
asked for cracker. Instead of cracker
he received loaf.
Lazy, seeing the gift of Charity, e1-
claimed, "What, a cracker, and receive
a loaf? Well, L will ask for loaf"
Lazy now applied to Charity, and
called for loaf of bread.
"Your demanding loaf" said Chari-
tv. "proves you a loafer. You are of
that class and character who ask, and
receive not; you ask amiss."
Lazy, who always found fault, and had
rather whine than work, complained of
ill-treatment, and even accused Charity
of a breach of an exceeding great and
precious promise: 'sAsk, and you shall
receive.
Charity pointed him to the painting
in her room, which presented to his VS.
ion three personages, Faith, Hope and
Charity. Charity appeared larger and
fairer than her sisters. He noticed that
her right hand held pot of honey which
fed bee disabled, having lost its wings.
Her left hand was armed with whip,
which kept off the drones.
"Don't understand it, :" said Lazy.
Charity replied, "It means that Char
ity feeds the lame and fogs the lazy"
Lazy turned to go.
"Stop p said Charity. Instead of
coin L will give you counsel. Do not go
and live on your poor mother, for l will
send you to rich ant"
erich aunt p echoed Lazy. "Where
shall find her?"
"You will find her in Proverbs, sixth
chapter and sixth verse;"
Moral Instead of waiting and wish
ing rich uncle to die, go and see how a
rich ant lives.

A Merry Heart.

"I'd rather be poor and merry" says
q writer, ethan inherit the wealth of
the Indies with a discontented spirit
A merry heart, cheerful spirit, from
which laughter wells up as naturally as
bubble the springs of Saratoga, are worth
all the money-bags and mortgages in
the city. The man who laughs is doc
tor with diploma Endorsed by the
school of nature his face does more
good in a sick-room than pound of pow
ders or gallon of bitter draughts. If
things go right he laughs because he is
pleased if they go wrong he laughs be
cause it is better and cheaper than cry
ing. People are always glad to see him,
and their hands instinctively go half
way to meet his grasp, while they turn
involuntarily from the clammy dyspep-
tic who speaks on the groaning. He
laughs you out of your faults, while you
never dream of being offended with him,
and you never know what pleasant
world you are living in until he points
out the sunny streaks on its pathway.
Who can help loving the whole-souled,
genial Laughter? Not the buffoon, nor
the man who classes noise with mirth,
but the CHEEKY, contented man of sense
and mind A good-natured laugh is the
key to all breasts. The truth is that
the people like to be laughed at in a
genial sort of way. If you are making
yourself ridiculous you want to be told
of it in pleasing manner, not sneered
at. And it is astonishing how frankly
the laughing population can talk without
treading on the toes of their neighbors.
Why will the people put on long faces,
when it is so much easier and pleasanter
to laugh? Tears come to us unsought
and unbidden. The wisest art in life
is to cultivate smiles, and to find the
flowers where others shrink away for
fear of thorns.

negro troops had already indicated themselves
on nearly a score of battle-tields.
TWAS a month later on June 21 1864, that
Mr.. Sumner moved that the senate proceed to
the consideration of the bill to repeal the fugi-
tive slave act Of 1850 and all acts FOR the rendi
ton of fugitive slaves. This bill had already
passed the house of representatives. Mr. Hen
dricks nevertheless, declared that the bill was
not worthy of consideration. He opposed it
bitterly, saying that all the time of the senate
was given to the negroes and none to white
men. His colleague in opposition, Salisbury,
OF Delaware, was even more frank as to the
motive of his antagonism of the measure, say
ing that If there might be still any slaves to
escape he did not wish them to have the benefit
of the repeal Of the acts. On the next day, Mr..
Hendricks gave formal notice to the senate
'thst on all questions In regard to the bill re-
pealing the fugitive slave law he had paired
with Mr.. Wilkinson, from Minnesota. 'The
senator" he said, ''from Minnesota favors the
bill; am against it,

4 Bad State of 4fdirs.

The affairs of Newcomb, Buchanan & Co., of
Louisville, are now apparently in worse con-
dition than ever. The assignee is without
money to carry out the trust, and the plan
proposed by some of the largest creditors to
raise some by a system of charges on the
whisky in the warehouses owned by the cred
itors is so strongly objected to that it is not
likely to be adopted. In this event the estate
Will probably be forced into the chancery
court which will make final settlement of
the thing verv far in the future, and be more
costly than if the creditors plan of assessment
was adopted. In any case, it now appears i'm
possible for the creditors to obtain the whisky
on which they have claims without 1t costing
them heavily. Another letter has been re-
ceived from George Buchanan, proving
beyond doubt that he and Andrew buchanan
are in Windsor, Canada, opposite Detroit.

What Mr.. Blaine Says.
[Ne,o York Tribune


That Mr.. Blaine refused to join the know
nothing organization, though his associate in
The Kaane6oc Journal had done so, has been es-
tablished. The falsehoodthat he wrote articles
for that journal in support of prospective ideas
has been refuted by the voluntary declaration
of the gentleman who did write them, and at
that time held those ideas. What Mr.. Blaine
did think of the know-nothing movement, he
as told the whole world in his history, which
was written at time when he had no expecta-
ton Of becoming candidate for office again,
and which has been highly honored in Europe
and in this country for its calm, impartial and
candid treatment OF public questions. In his
first volume, page III, Mr.. Blaine said:
"Thenceforward new alliances were rapidly
formed. In the south those wings who, though
still unwilling to profess an anti-slavery creed,
would not unite with the democrats, were re-
organized under the name OF the American
party, with Humphrey Marshall, Henry Winter
Davis, Horace Maynard, and men of that class
for leaders. This party was founded on pro-
scription of foreigners, and with special hos
tility to the Roman Catholic Church. 1t had q
fitful and feverish success and In 1885, under
the name of know-nothings, enrolled tens Of
thousands in secret lodges But its creed tods
naroo, It's principles lcere Mberal, and its meth
DDS of procedure boyish and unidentified. The
great body of thinking men in the north saw that
the real contest impending was against slavery
and not against naturalization laws and eccle-
siastical dogmas. The know-nothings, there
fore, speedily disappeared"
1t is not to be expected that the democrats,
in this extreme emergency, will tell the truth
about Blaine. But those citizens who wish to
know his real opinions will be glad to have
them thus deliberately and frankly expressed
by Mr.. Blaine himself II is a matter of record
that he is among the earliest of "those thinking
men in the northn who "saw that the real
contest impending was against slavery" and
threw himself with all his energy and youth
full ardor into the organization of the republi-
can party in the very year in which, 1t is falsely
asserted. he was striving to keep the know
nothing pa ty alive. He left the Pennsylvania

Victor M. Hollingsworth, late divi-
sional manager of the Assam Doom
Dooma tea company, has written to
the Industrial Review a letter upon the
cultivation of tea in the southern states.
Wherever the tea-plant has been
planted in suitable situations, even as
far north as New Jersey, t'has flourish
ed. In Georgia it grows wild from plants
sent out by the department of agri-
culture in 1850-55. Mr.. Hollingsworth
states that even if tea were worth no
more per pound than cotton it would
still pay better than the latter, since
cotton must be cleared for, fenced,
planted, cultivated, picked and grubbed
cut every year, while tea is perennial
and needs only pruning and the manu-
featuring of the leaf after it has come
into bearing. AS for temperature, the
state of Mississippi stands midway
between Assam and the districts of
India The rainful in Mississippi is less
than that of either of the Indian dis
tricts, but our authority assures us that
a rainfall well diffused over the year,
and most ample in the growing months,
in fact, little and often, is preferable to
deluge in any one month. The OBJ
lection of the want of cheap labor is
met by the proof that labor in Assam
is dearer than in the southern states.
The Bengalese coolie may be cheap in
Bengal, but he has to be imported into
Assam to gather the tea crop, and costs
about $50 per head before he does a
DAYS work. The writer makes the as
sertion that one southern negro is worth
three Hindu coolies. The 'naturaliza-
ton of the tea plant is an object worthy

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiflen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-fitting, The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case -, vsg ,,,.
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
