rhe E1cctro-sIagnetic Locomotive In 1881
Professor Page made a trial trip with
his electromagnetic locomotive on
Tuesday, April 20, 1851. starting from
Washington The progress Of the loco
motive was at first so slow that a boy
was enabled 10 keep pace with it for
several hundred feet. But the speed was
soon increased, and B~landensburg, a dis
tance Of, l believe, about five miles and
a quarter, was reached in thirty-nine
minutes. When within two miles of
that place, the power of the battery be-
ing fully up, the locomotive began to
run, on nearly a level plane, at tho rate
Of nineteen miles an hour, or seven miles
faster than the greatest speed heretofore
attained. This velocity was continued
for a mile, when one Of the cells cracked
entirely open, which caused the acids to
intermix, and, as a consequence, the pro-
pelling power was partially weakened.
Two Of the other cells subsequently met
with similar disaster.
The professor proceeded cautiously,
fearing distractions on the way, such as
the coming Of cars in the opposite direc-
ton. and cattle on the road. Seven halts
were made. occupying in all forty
minutes. But. notwithstanding these
hindrances and delays, the trip to and
from Bladensburg was accomplished in
ona minute less than two hours. The
cells were made of light ~earthenware,
for the purpose of experiment merely,
without reference to durability. This
part OF the apparatus could therefore
easily be guarded against mishap. The
great point established was, that a loco
motive on the principle of Prof. Page
could be made to travel nineteen miles
an hour. But it was found on subse-
gucnt trials that the least jolt, such as
that caused by the end of a rail a little
above the level, threw the batteries out
of working order, and the result was a
halt. This defect could not be over
come, and Prof. Page reluctantly aban-
doned his discovery.-Ben: Perley Poore.

When Bin-Boards First Came Into Use.
Bill-boards came into use as articles
upon which announcements and procla-
nations were pasted in London about
the year 1T40. A man by the name of
LOOMS. who had been a street crier, OBJ
tanned permission from the authorities to
erect on vacant lots a number of boards,
upon which he placed the official adver-
tisements of the city and received a
small stipend from the municipal author
tiles for the service. The erection Of
these boards and the matter placed upon
them of course attracted the attention of
the populace, and they were constantly
surrounded by crowds reading the an
n~ouncements. This fact struck the
fancy of n Jew clothier as being an ad-
mirable plan to get an advertisement of
his goods and place of business before
the people, and he applied to Loomis for
permission to have his proclamation
pasted on the same board with the Of
fetal announcements. LOOMS being I'M
der the direction and in the pay of the
city authorities could not agree to this
proposition without consulting his supe-
riors, and this was done.
The council debated long and seriously
over the matter, and at last gave their
consent on the condition that the Jew
pay the city o much a year for the priv
ilige. This was agreed to, and the bill
board and its covering wa brought into
existence as one of the necessities of COM
merce. The Jews example was followed
by other merchants, and as Loomis re-
coived a commission on all the new con-
tracts made for billboard work, he soon
did a flourishing and profitable business,
and his boards could be found in every
quarter of the city. The idea being new
and novel, spread as such things do, and
it was not long until the billboard
was found in every civilized country.

SABINE pASS or GALVESTON.

pAbfNE FIno ON NdL IESION
Pursuant to an anonymous call pub
lished in the city papers, the citizens of
Fort Worth Will meet to-day to take
some united action in favor OF having
congress provide for an harbor at some
convenient point on the gulf coast. We
do not understand that especial prefer
enco is to be given to the claims of any
single point. Presumably the meeting Is
to be for the exchange Of views by the
advocates of Sabine Pass, Galveston and
Arkansas Pass, and the peculiar advan-
tages OF each will DO presented by who
ever has a mind to take part in the dis
cussion.
The only interest Fort Worth can have
is to secure deep water at that point on
the coast most accessible TO this city.
The commercial prosperity OF our city
can alone be considered. II IL is demon
stratcd that we have more to gain by deep
water at Sabine Pass, the meeting should
resolve to support the claims of that port.
If there is more to be gained at Calves
ton, the resolution should be made to
favor deep water there. And the same
may be said Of Aransas Pass or any other
point.
The advocates OF Sabine Pass and Gal
weston have various arguments in support
OF those respective places. For the latter
1t is urged that large city already ex
lists, that much capital is invested there
aud that the means OF handling larg,
business are at hand, when the harbor is
made accessible to ships. For the former
II is contended that permanent deep wa.
ter can be obtained at much less expense
than at Galveston, and that the chances OF
getting an appropriation sufficient to
make commodious harbor there are
much better than for the greater sum
needed for Galveston. These win be
some of the arguments advanced. From
the Fort Worth point of view, however,
neither OF them is worthy Of considera-
ton. We have only 10 think of the adj
vantage OF Fort Worth, and the eject OF

Florida is becoming very much inter

since the first OF last June. lie is in love
with charming widow, one OF the most
prominent figures in Detroit society, who
has an independent fortune Of $4,000
The gallant and enraptured senator is a

has thus far been unsuccessful in his suit
with the charming millionaire widow.
The senator is persistent, however, and
is reported to have sworn no would never
leave Detroit until the widow succumbs.
II is said that the senator faithfully
sends every day TO the adored one a bou-
quot of ilowers and a written avowal Of
his undying love Notes and flowers are
never acknowledged, IL is said, but the
patient senator never permits this obdu.
rate silence to discourage his passionate
appeals. II is said that the senate will
never see Jones again unless the fair
widow succumhs TO this most romantic

The young ladies here have adopted a
charming fashion, which viii doubtless

the news get out, writes Saratoga cor
respondent. They all wear what Is known
as the infantile look of merry glee. Any
young woman who does not wear this eX-
preston when out is not fashionable
young woman, and is quite out of the
range Of good society This look of glee
must have dancing eyes, perpetual
smile, and laugh at the slightest provo
cation of the merriest character, continu-
ing for five minutes, while the head is
playfully shaken at the naughty man who
provokes the laughter. II is rather hard
to look volatile and merry for eight or
ten hours on stretch, but the truly
fashionable young women succeed very
well.

II Galveston had deep water the Santa
re railroad would have the freight

an advantage that we could not over

The distance is shorter by this route than
by tie Santa Fe, and the freight haul,
being shorter, necessarily must be cheap

What Powderly Says.


One OF the greatest men of the present
day and generation, and man who Is do
ing more to elevate the toiling masses
than any individual, is Thomas v. Pow
derby, the head and front OF the Knights
OF Labor. He Is singularly earnest
man, and though he might have used his
position to accumulate thousands OF dol
lars, he Is still poor. He was for six
years mayor of Scranton, Pa, and was
urged to run for congress, but declined.
preferring to give his Whole time to the
vast labor organization with which ne is
so prominently identified. Twice within
year he has made Jay Gould come to
terms, but his demands are far from ex.
acting and all his measures are
tempered with honesty and strong
common sense. For Tie coming wear
he believes that there will be
a better understanding between labor and
capital, that each side win feel more like
making concessions, and that there will
be less bitterness In the various attempts
TO adjust their several difficulties. And
then he gets right down to the marrow of
the thing by saying:
ind that the men who are cranky, oh
Stlnate and unreasonable, both on the
side OF the employer and employee, are the
men who seldom read the newspapers
Men who do not read the papers, and are
not acquainted with the drift Of public
sentiment, are the men, be they employ
ers or workingmen, who viii not come to-
gether end talk matters over and be will
ing to concede point or two. The mower
OF the press is of great avail in this par.
