The First Steam Fire Engine.

Mir. Benson J. Tossing, in a commu. nication to the Scientific American, says : "At the suggestion of the under writers, Paul Hodge, a machinist in New York city, constructed a steam fire engine which was publicly tested in front of the City Hall late in fine af- ternoon in March, 1s41. It was fail ure, as was demonstrated at the fire in the building of Harper Brothers in 1842. Meanwhile the Mechanics Insti- ute of the city of New York had moved in the matter. In the spring of 1850 its Board of Directors (of which I was a member) offered its gold medal, the highest honor within its gift, as a re. ward for the best method for applying steam to the propulsion of the fire en. zine. The reward was won by the now venerable engineer and inventor, Capt John Ericsson, before midsummer that year. The Committee on Arts and Sciences of the Institute, after a careful examination of several plans md speci- fieations offered, made an elaborate re- port in favor of the one presented by Ericsson. In that report was the follow ing paragraph "The points of excellence as thus narrowed down were found to belong in a superior degree to an engine weighing less than two and half tons that, with the lowest estimate of speed, has a power of 108 men, and will throw 5000 pounds of water per minute to a height of 105 feet through a nozzle + inches in diameter. By increasing the speed to the greatest limit, easily and safely attainable, the quantity of water thrown may be much augmented Mir. Hodges steam fire engine, which ap- peared very much like locomotive as saw it at work in front of the City Hall. was finally bought by a packing-box manufacturer, who used it as a stationary ennine

Betrayed by Bad Grammar.

"Three of these girls say they go to school regularly" remarked Justice Power in the Tombs Police Court re- gently as four children were about to step down. Agent Chiardi, who had ar- rested the three as delinquents, and the other for picking up bones, took the fourth girl one side and said he knew the others did not go to school.
 ''Aren't they all together?" asked the Court.
 "No, sir," answered the trio. "UG don't belong to she"
 "What? The next girl who goes to school-was that sentence correct?"
 ''No, sir.
 "What should she have said?"
 "Her ain't one of we"
 Horrors! The next try it"
 "She bent one of us three"
 The Justice groaned and asked the fourth girl to repeat the sentence. She had said nothing about school, but she replied, "She is not one of us.
 ''You are discharged, "replid the Court. "The others will have chance to study in a reformatory. ."-NeO York Herald.

GENERAL SWAIN.
The President Suspends Him from Duty
Pending His Trial by Court-Martial.

WASHINGTON, July 26-Before leaving here
to-day the President suspended Judge Advocate,
general Swain from duty, In month a court
martial will sit upon his alleged short -comings
and his Observation-Disclosures the army
seems only to be question of time. The deal
ings Swain had with the banker Bateman Of
this city, which led to an inquiry upon which
court-martial is to follow, will only be an Incl
dent of the trial. 1t is alleged that by proof
conclusive it will be shown that Swain, as the
chairman of theeommittee having the direction
of the Garfield memorial fair, held in the rotun-
da of the Capitol, not only Incorporated to
his own use the proceeds, largely in cash, but in
addition privately disposed OF, to his own inter-
est, a number of the valuable donations, includ-
ing rare oilpaintings.
Report has 1t that a prominent officer of the
staff department of the army, now serving in
the West, was equally guilty with Swain, but
did not have the chance to profit so largely. His
spirit, however was as willing.
Swain was appointed Judge Advocate general
by President Garfield, jumping a number of
officers who outranked him. 1t would seem, if
all the allegations against him be true. that he
used his so-called sympathy for the late Presi
dent for his own selfish profit. Being caught,
he now squeals for a chance to retire.
