OF hat city says:
NV. LouGaun Campbell, IA member of
the alexandria fire department, yesterday
gave an exhibition at the Fifth street fire
station, in this city, Of an apparatus design
ed to expedite the firing Of an engine. 1t
consists of cone-lke tin arrangement,
attached TO gas pipe and placed directly
under the fre-box of the engine. AT the
top side is revolving appliance, which IS
operated by a straight rod extending from
the cngine-gate. AS the engine moves out
this rod operates the little revolving attach
ment which instantly turns up the gas.Jet,
and the waste, saturated with Kerosene, is
ignited quick az thought. The gas is cut
off by means Of the same revolving attach
ment operated by the rod and it Is all is done
within the fractional part Of Il second. The
gas which escapes from the top of the cone
Is kept constantly lighted, but turned down
low. When the engine moves ont it flares
mp in blaze and is then almost instantly
extinguished, having first ignited the waste.
Heretofore the firemen had to put torch
to the waste in the fire box after the engine
left the house, thus occasioning considerable
loss Of time. The invention of Mr.. Camp
bell overcomes this difficulty, and will
probably be introduced here by the lire
commissioners The test yesterday in the
presence of Chief Engineer Thurman and
others was q pronounced success, the en-
CINE being fired up in short order.

Goodey's Lady's Book to every new
subscriber to the magazine for the
year 1886. The plate is a very artis-
tic one, beautifully printed OH thick
paper of a size suitable for hsndson q
framing. The sHhleet. little dim-
pied Love, adorned with nothing but
his baby charms, is lying on a soft
grassy couch, fast asleep among the
wild flowers, his round, white limbs
approaching the cool umbragc of Q
pond ofwater-lilies. One little chub-
by hand rests lightly on his unstrung
bow, which ia lying under him,
while the other hand is softly pressed
upon his cheek, the plump fingers
threading the wavy masses of his
floating hair Under the right arm
aaa shoulder one little downy wing
is snngly tucked away, while the
other peeps from the back with pret
ty suggestiveness. Overhead are
dropping, shadowy boughs covered
with rleA foliage, and the background
reveals a deep perspective of cool for,
est shade. The picture is one d
striking simplicity, yet admirable
composition. aud the figure of the

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Mr.. carlisle's Chances Fer the
Speakership.
New York Herald.


WAsHINGToN, Nov. 10.-The Her
AIDS table of Congressmen-t lect
shows that in the next House there
will be III Democrats who are men,
bers of the present House. OF this
number 66 voted for Mr.. Carlisle, 26
for Mr.. Randall and Is for Mr.. Cox.
Two were absent and the candidates
did not vote. Assuming that the
Democrats have elected lS5 members,
majority in caucus would be 93. Ii
Mr.. Carlisle's friends continue to sup
port him he is sure also of seven ad-
ditional votes from Kentucky, only
four members having been reelected
in delegation of eleven; two from
Texas, three from Georgia, one from
North Carolina, six from Missouri,
and more than enough from other
delegations to make him certain of a
majority in the nominating caucus.
The vote in the caucus last December
for Mr.. Carlisle was l06; Mr.. Randall,
81, and Mr.. Cox, 30.
Mr. Eaton is not returned from
Connecticut, nor Mr.. Morse from
Massachusetts,. Gen.sSlocpm, Messrs.
Hardy, Dorsheimer, Robinson, Potter
and llutchins are among the New
York members of the present House
who are not reelected. Mr.. Black
burn goes to the Senate from Ken
lucky. Judge Buckner, of Missouri,
retires to private life, and Gen. Rose
Grams, ofCalifornia, is hoping for rec
ognition from President Cleveland.
Congressman Scales is the next Gov
ernor of North Carolina, and Robert
j. Vance, Of the same State, who has
served for many years from that State,
will also be missed in the next Con-
gress, as will also John Hancock, If
Texas. Ex-Speaker Keifer drops out
of the Ohio delegation, and it seems
to be settled that Mr.. Burrows will
renew his Congressional life from
Michigan. Otherwise the changes are
not important The absence Of Mr..
W, II. Calkins, of Indiana, among the
Republicans Of the next House win
be regretted, for he was one of the
few members Of his party whose nNp
ularity commended him to all Of lis
colleagues in Congress,
