our friend Smiths first service at the big
court as bailiif, and he brought his
long stick to an arms carry, opened wide
his eyes and apparently was ready to run.
There was perfect silence and the case on
trial proceeded. Judge Estes was look

large black eyes and covered Smith with
them AS soon as the latter saw the
Judges big eyes turned in that direction
he yelled out in an excited manner,

A Dogs Passion for Coal burners.
L.. Il. IL. ar.I-......L

The study of dogs is sometimes a very
interesting pastime. This is suggested
by sight that is very frequently wit
messed at the Union passenger shed upon
the arrival of the afternoon train from
Savannah.
The train reaches the city at 5:25
O'Clock, and Immediately upon entering
the shed the engine Is cut loose and car
ried to the coal chute, about a mile dis
tant, for the purpose Of coaling for the
remainder Of the trip.
Those who are accustomed to watch
this train come in have not failed to notice
the peculiar actions of small black ter
rier that every afternoon takes his stand
near the entrance to the depot and watches
for the arrival Of the train. AS soon as it
comes in sight he seems perfectly delight
ed, and is restless until it backs into the
shed. From experience he has gauged
accurately the place where the engine
will stop, and is ever ready as soon as the
discOnnectiOn IS made to mount the ten
der and ride to the chute. How he man
ages to reach his lofty perch, or to remain
there after he has attained 1t, is one of the
mysteries; but he accomplishes both, and
is perfectly satisfied when he has done it.
This feat be performs every afternoon,
and those who know his nature best say
he cheats any dog in the world for coal
burning engines" 1t Is certainly pecu-
liar inclination

NOVEL INVENTION.
A st. Louis Man Davises an Appliance
Which DisDenses With ships Rudders.
Fyom he So. Louis RepHbl'cda.

From the S. Louis Republican.
A very novel, simple and ingenious
device has been invented by Mr.. VIM. II.
Burns, of this city, which promises to
make u great revolution in the methods
and appliances by which steam vessels
of the propeller pattern are steered. MIR.
Burns has built his own working model,
and all steamboat men who have seen
1t pronounce 1t an as sured success. AS
steamships are now built, the pro-
peller screw is fastened at the end OF
rigid shaft, which extends from
the engines back through the stern
OF the shin. and when the screw re-
wolves the tendency Is to move the vessel
straight ahead, or straight backward, the
direction of the ships movement being
controlled by the rudder. The latter acts
very gradually In changing the ships
course, so that one of the large ocean
steamers has TO travel nearly two miles
in order to get itself turned around. Mr..
Burns invention dIspenses with the rud-
der, and puts in its place strong iron
frame, swinging Just like rudder on an
upright shaft, but with the propeller
screw mounted in il. This frame can be
swung around by the man at the wheel in
like manner as a rudder, but when it
swings the screw swings with 1t, and, OF
course, in so doing changes the direction
OF it's power, so that it no longer pushes
the ship directly ahead. For instance,
when it is desired to make quick, sharp
turn in the direction a ship is moving,
the frame like a rudder) is swung
around till il stands at right angles
with the vessels keel. The screw
continues to revOlve. and Of course its
entire force is applied to the work fpush-
ing the stern of the vessel sideways,
without contributing anything to the for
ward motion. By this method. it can he
readily understood, a ship which a rudder
would not turn in a mile, can be turned
in twice her own length. The question
will at once suggest itself, How is the
motion communicated to the screw dur
ing it's sudden shifts of position? Simply
enough; the upright shaft on which the
frame swings, and which corresponds
with a rudder post, is revolved by the
ships engines, and the motion is con-
tributed to the screw by bevelled gear
ing on this upright shaft, around which
the propeller swings with perfect freedom.
Mr.. Burns is an old soldier and carries
two bullets. He is not capitalist, how
ever, and the question as to how to intro
duce his invention into the shipysrds has
not yet been Getermined.

visibility of establishing CONNER

ALL::that Is necessary to keep flow-

cool. Instead of dipping flowers in
water, they should simply be wrapped
ped up In a wet newspaper, which
will keep them far fresher over night.
A wet towel or napkin is too heavy,
and will crush the blooms too much;
besides, it would allow the moisture
to evaporate too easily. Boston flor,
