Discounts Yankees Inventions.

According to the Paris GGn!ois an
apparatus has just been invented which
is simply astounding, for with it the
traveller need no longer fear any acci-
dents. Safety will be assured on rail-
roads. This apparatus permits the en-
ploye charged with the duty to see in a
mirror the entire section of the road he
is to control, with all the trains in mo-
ton, and he knows at every instant just
exactly where each train is. When one
of them approaches another at dis
tance which is dangerous. he can i'm
mediately signal the menaced train:
The apparatus consists OF sheet OF
opaque glass, on which the rails are in
dicated BY horizontal lines and the sta
tions by vertical ones numbered. Little
arrows, representing the trains, move
along the horizontal lines. They are
put in motion by aid of electricity de-
veloped by contact of metallic brushes
attached to the locomotives with zinc
bands placed along the rails. The train
thus continually traces its trajectory
on the glass indicator. The apparatus
was exhibited some days ago in Ger
many to a commission Of Berlin scien-
fists

Gen. Logan and Pugh of Alabama.

Senator Pugh of Alabama served in
the same Congress with Senator Logan
just prior to the outbreak of the Rebel
lion. They were then members of the
same political party, and were personal
friends. Near the close of the War,
when the Union soldiers went through
Alabama, a detachment of Wilson's s
cavalry approached the residence of
Senator Pugh in Eufaula. When they
saw the troops approaching. Mr.. Pugh,
who had been in the Confederate army
and in the Confederate Congress, ex-
pected to be roughly handled. He
walked out to the front yard, and, when
the detachment drew up to his gate, he
said to them, There's the house; 90 in
and take possession" The officer in
command inquired: 'Is your name
James L. Pughp'' "That is my name,
SIR" "Herc are my orders respecting
you," said the officer, extending a pa
per. Mr.. Pugh unfolded it, expecting
to read an order for his immediate az
rest and transportation to prison. In
stead of that, he read an order issued
by Gen. Logan that neither Mr.. Pugh nor
anything belonging to him was on any
account to be molested. Washington

The Napoleon OF Africa.

A dispatch from Zanzibar the other
day announced the death Of Mirafnbo,
whom Stanley called the Napoleon OF
Africa. Mirambo has for fifteen years
been the terror of East Africa, and e&-
plorers used to bring home starting
stories about the robber CHIEF. lie
proved, however, to be oae OF the pest
friends of the whites among African po-
tentates, and all the latter explorers
speak well of him.
Mirambo was the chief OF little dis
trict in Unyamwezi, about 100 miles
east of Lake Tanganyiki. He treated
the Arabs who had settled near him
with great friendliness, and often gave
fifty cattle at time as a apreSent to any
body whom he esteemed. One Of the
traders took advantage OF his good na-
ture to obtain large quantity OF ivory
on credit. He then laughed at Mirambo
for trusting him, and refused payment,
and the Arabs at Unyenycmbe turned
their backs on Mirambo when he asked
for justice They have racd the day
ever since they made him an enemy.
He never forgave the wrong. he beat
them repeatedly in battle, and finally
filled them with such abject terrcr that
they have more than once simply barrl-
caded themselves in their houses when
he entered UyenyembP. and let him
drive off their cattle without Offering
any resistance. For years he was con-
stantly on the move, extending his do
minion and bringing destruction upon
all tribes that did not submit. He be-
came the most feared and the most
powerful chief between the Indian Ocean
and Tanganyika. African mothers east
of the lake and south to Myas5a have
long used the name Mirambo as bug
aboo to subdue refractory children.
White travellers and missionaries
found another side to Mirambo's char
acter. They discovered that he had
faithfully kept his promises, and that
when he spoke he meant exactly what
he said He treated one and all kindly.
A flourishing mission station Is in his
chief town. Stores of ali sorts left in
Mirambo's charge have been carefully
kept from damage or thieves to await
the call of the owner. The caravans
from the coast that supply the Tangan-
vika mission stations now avoid the old
route through the Arab settlements, and
pass through Mirambo's country. A
few white men and the devoted follow
ers who helped him to extend his power
will mourn his departure. The rest of
East Africa is probably very glad he is
dead

Rather Rough on Wright.

LowvILLE, n. Y. April 2o.-Fred
Wright, who is 27 years of age, IS native
OF Danotsburgh, where his parents reside,
He removed to this village over year ago,
Last summer he became acquainted with
the daughter of a village carpenter, the &C
quaintance growing into an intimacy
which the family Of the girl, who
was only II, endeavored to break.
Three months ago tie couple left
town, going, it is said, to Adams, where
they lived as man and wife, A day or two
ago they returned here, and began house
keeping about a mile east Of this village.
The night after their arrival, three persons,
two brothers and brother-in law of the
girl called on the couple at midnight. They
we're a.kod if they were married, and the re-
ply was "No" The three then grabbed
Wright, took him out Of the house to an open
field near by, and covered his body with
quarts OF tar and sack OF feathers. His
clothes were then put on him, he was led
down the railroad track and headed for
Utica, and told to go. He vanished in the
darkness, and has not been seen since.

The Keely Motor Humbug Exposed.

A short time since story was circu-
lated that one of Keely's most trusted
workmen, but who was in reality spy
in the employ of capitalist, has been
letting out Keely's secret. The secret
which this man is said to have told con-
firms the popular estimate which was
long ago formed of the so-called motor
1t proves to be cunningly-devised ap-
paratus with which contiding people,
Supplied with more means than scien-
tiGc knowledge, could be humbugged.
The story which has thus been circu-
lated, whether authentic or not, is in
teresting, and seems plausible on the
face of it. 1t is as follows: The motor
proper consists of heavy outside COW
ering of metal, shaped to deceive the
speculator in every way he may look at
it. The outside looks as if the machine
consisted of large, massive iron cy-
Under with valves, wheels and outside
pipes. These are supposed to assist in
the generation of the famous new force,
when, in fact, the outside shape has lit
tie to do with the working parts. Those
parts are on the inside. The force is
pure and simple air, the least bit tainted
with chemical to deceive, as every
thing else is made to do. The air is
pumped from seven to twenty-one steel
tubes on the inside of the shell. The
tubes are of sufficient strength to with
stand pressure of from 10000 to 50,-
900 pounds. There is mechanism in
side the shell that permits the compress
ed air to pass from one chamber or cy-
Under at time into distinct and sep
arate cylinder which contains the piston
that operates the tlywheel of the ma
chine. By this method the machine
can be kept running five minutes, or
perhaps longer, and yet show very little
change on the pressure-gauge. The plan
is to allow only-one-third of the air to
escape from the cylinder, and then that
one is disconnected, and so on until but
one cylinder has been used to that eX-
tent, when the machine is stopped and
a great show is made, as, of course, the
indicated pressure is exactly the same
as it was before the wheel went around.
Not drop of water is used at any
time. The water story is all bosh. If
this story be true it eXplodes the Keely
swindle and leaves a clear way for the
next aspirant for the honor of quilting

FRED DOUGLASS SPEECH
Causing Considerable Criticism-A Dyna'
mite Suggestion.

Causing Considerable Criticism-A Dyna'
mite Suggestion.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 18.-There has
been considerable discussion in political cir
cles here over the address Of Fred Douglass
at Lincoln Memorial church. Mr..
Douglass improved the occasion to
express his ideas Of the political situ-
alton incident to the accession Of the Demo-
cratic party to power, in so far as that
event affected or was likely to affect the
colored race, and his intimation that the
change Of administration wore a sinister as
pect to the negro Notwithstanding the reas-
surances promptly given by President Cleve-
land, is not wholly concurred in by other
leading colored men. Mr.. Douglass admit
ted that the inaugural utterances of Presi-
dent Cleveland were frank and manly and
oil that could be desired; but the general
tenor Of Mr.. Douglass remarks indicated a
disbelief on his part that the president would
be able to maintain them throughout bis ad-
ministration- He said that the president
could adopt policy of Indifference respect
ing the negroes of the south-a policy of
good Lord and good devil, by which they
would be deprived of their civil rights.
The most criticised portion Of Mr..
Douglass Grafton was his declaration that if
the civil rights of his race were not ade-
quately protected no blame could attach if
the negro, when driven from the ballot-box
and jury box and off railroad trains, should
resort to some terrible explosive force:
that such course would be folly,
but oppression made wise men mad. This
language is generally criticised as revolu-
tionary and dangerous, from the fact that
it might be construed as suggestive to the
negroes of the south to either burn and
pillage or to resort ito the dynamite process.
Anti-Rlaine Republicans discredit Mr..
Douglass assertion that he did all he could
for Blaine's success 1t is known that Mr..
Douglass was very bitter against Blaine for
his opposition to the "force BILL" which MIR.
Blaine attacked on tho floor Of the house
and finally defeated, having left the speak
srs chair for that purpose. Mr.. Douglass
always opposed Blaine's nomination for tho
presidency.
A prominent colored man, commenting on
Mr.. Douglass address, said publicly that
since Mr.. Douglass had married white
woman his influence with his people had suf-
fered a great shock; that while he was dis.
tinguished orator and strong thinker, he
had gotten a little better than his own color.
