An Automatic Horse.

An automatic horse has been con-
structed which is designed to bring the
salutary effects of horseback motion to
those who are prevented from using the
live animal. The rider seats himself
upon saddle firmly attached to a
small wooden platform below by means
of metal connections. The operator
can be swayed about in all directions.
Beneath the platform are four padded
buffers, corresponding to the horses
feet, and by the weight and motion of
the operators body these buffers strike
or bump at each depression upon the
foundation below, SO that an automatic
imitation of horse exercise can be pro-
duced. The movement can be made
either way easy or very violent, and the
imaginative rider can fancy himself on
real steed or boys hobby-horse, at
will But there appears to be no pro-
vision made to keep him from looking
supremely ridiculous--Mea0 York

At The Tent.

"The Old and New Dispensations OF
the Gospel" was the theme of last
night The Gospel belongs to the past,
as well as the present age. 1t was
preached to the Israelites in Moses
time, Hebrews Az. Moses believed
in Christ, Hebrews II:26 Abraham
had the Gospel, Galatians 3:8. 1t was
shadowed forth in Adams time, Gene
sis 3:I5. Christ is the mediator for
those who lived before his death, as
well as for those who live since,
Hebrews 9;I5. But his work as priest
is done in this dispensation, Hebrews
1I:36-4o. How then could they have
gone to heaven in the past, when their
sins are not atoned for till this dispen-
sation2 1t is true, God made exceptions
of Enoch, Elijah and probably of
Moses, Jude 9. And other cases at
the resurrection of Christ, Matthew Ell:
52-s3. These cases are mentioned in
Romans S:2S-3o. This scripture has
no reference to Gods foreknowing, and
foreordaining, the salvation of certain
individuals from the beginning But
that God foreknew these to be right
eous. That is, knew it before the
general judgment, which of course he
has power to do. These cases being
mentioned as exceptions, show that the
majority have not yet gone to their
rewards. The sacrificial offerings Of
the past dispensation were typical Of
faith in Christ, Hebrews 8:5. And
with the laws regulating them ended
when Christ died on the cross, Colos-
slams 2:14-17. The Sabbath days, here
mentioned, are defined, as those that
were shadows of Christ, and Leviticus
% gives us list of those Sabbaths
that belonged to the law of shadows,
and in verse 38 mentions the Sabbath
Of the Lord as distinct from them.
The fact that Paul specifies which Sab
baths are ended, shows they had not all
ended. The seventh day Sabbath, the
Sabbath Of the Lord, not being a
shadow of Christ, would be left to pass
into this dispensation, with all the rest
Of the moral law We have the same law
OF God in both dispensations, it was
placed in the most holy place in the
earthly sanctuary, where an ark, or
chest, was prepared for it, Deuter-
onomy 10: a-5, First Kings 8: 9. This
law is in the true temple in heaven,
Revelation II: Io. The law in the
earthly sanctuary reads; "The seventh
day is the Sabbath of the Lord" and
as that was shadow of the one in
heaven the law in heaven must read
seventh day. We have the same law
pointing out sin in both dispensations.
The same Gospel as the remedy
for sin, but different ordinances by
which we show faith in the Gospel.
This side Of the Cross, our faith is
shown by ordinances Of babtism, and
the sacrament, instead of Offering
blood of animals and birds, which
pointed to Saviour to come and die.
Ours show faith in Saviour crucifed,
and risen from the dead They looked
to Old Jerusalem. We to the New

Awake, arise lift up your voice

And fastened on deaths awful time.

From wandering in the paths Of gloom;

Remind him of the drunkard's doom.
Offer for him the fervent prayer,
Urge him 10 bear Affections rod;
Warn him no drunkard may come near
Nor meet with favor from his God.
These are your duties; do not shrink,
For vice will fade before truths breathe
Souls may be snatch'd in from the brink
That borders on eternal death.

WILD TACTICS.

"The GaSefte was uncommonly mild
in its opposition to the Government in
its last ISSUE" cries the Soab-6n6ble of
the a7th inst, and Immediately prints
two columns of soap bubble campaign
notes in a wild and illogical attempt to
overthrow the Gaseke's 'smild indictments.
The political consistency of the Soap
6H6bie is as inconsistent as the alleged
financial consistency of the Hawaiian
dollar, and the political utterances of
the SOap-6n6bls are currently discounted
more than 20 per cent when ex-
changed by the public for the gold
standard OF truth. The S0ap-6UbbLe
denies that it endorsed Mr. Bakers
financial position and adds that, when
the Adoertiser endorses any proposition
it does not do SO by indirection." That
is one of your weak points, dear Id
aeyfiser, on which the general public is
well informed from your own columns,
that you do not dare to openly endorse
a single political proposition of
your party, simply because you are
afraid Of being forced to take it back :;
you prefer to indirectly endorse
things SO that you can shift you defence,
evade the point at issue, and keep up a
show of political strength on ground
work which is generally weak.

AFRICAN TELEGRAPHY.

Primitive solution of the Problem of Com
munlcatlon Through short Distances.
The system Of sound telcgraphy used
by the people living on the border Of
the gulf of Guinea, West Africa, is o.
interest as a primitive solution of the
problem of communication through
short distances. The instrument is made
as follows:
Take log of hard wood. about two
feet long aud about foot in diameter.
Plane of one side longtudinally to
surface four or five inches wide In the
centre of this surface mark off an elon-
gated and somewhat distorted Greek
cross. The longer arms are placed
longtudinally, and occupy about one
third Of the planed surface. The trans
verse arms are three times n broad,
and extend entirely across the surface.
The natives dig out the wood within
the outline Of the cross, and from there
gradually hollow out the whole log.
The sides, beginning at the center, are
trimmed of literally toward the ends,
which are rounded of.
The instrument is now ready. It viii
be perceived that by the methods above
described We have a hollow drum with
four tongues in the center. each being
OF o different thickness. so as to produce
a different sound when struck.
Two pieces of bamboo. the size of a
man, wrist and about two feet long.
are selected and stripped Of the hard
outside, which leave, The soft, p.thy
portion for use. This bamboo is of q
pccul' kind, free from knots and solid
throughout. With these sticks, used in
q proper manner on the four tongues OF
the drum, u combination of sounds is
produced. which, in conccntjon with
time rs used in music, forms a perfect
telcoraphic language readily understood
by the initiated, the air being The trans
mittcr With this simple instrument
the natives Of the Gulf Of Guinea read
ily communicated with each other for
distance of mile at least on land
and a much longer distance by water.
Messages san be sent long distances
in short time by parties at different
point, passing them along from one to
The other.

A reporter spent nearly an hour on the
ground the other afternoon, and during
that time the visitors came and went in a
stream. The inevitable small boy was
present in force, hut the only use
he had for the oil was to sprinkle
It over dried leaves and then set it
on fire. Nearly ono dozen bonfrcs were
raging at the same time tho fuel being
supplied from the petroleum well which
was running at tho rate Of, perhaps, one
gallon per hour, not fast enough to make
Zig fortune in very short time, to be
sure, hut it was there, nevertheless.
The well, IL such it can be called, Is To-
Gated on the ten-acre tract between the
thoroughfares mentioned, and at point
little west of Perry AMI little south Of
Noble street. The ground at the intor-
section Of these two streets has been ex-
cavatet to a depth Of perhaps thirty feet,
the clay taken out baving been maio into
bricks, for The property is owned by a
firm Of bricSmaEers. The first indication
OF oil was seen six or eight weeks ago,
but no attention was paid 10 It, and II has
only been within the last two or three
days that the flow has been strong
enough to raise the suspicion that possi-
bly, there was vein somewhere in
the vicinity. The row was stronger ye.-
terday than the day before, and Is now
continuous. The oil comes to the surface
with that peculiar, hubbling sound so
common with petroleum wells, and then
floats or on the water to the pool ten or
fifteen feet away, where several hundred
gallons have already accumulated. The
oil is somewhat lighter in weight than the
product Of the more celebrated Pennsyl-
vania wells, but its quality appears to be
good. There is comparatively little grit
in It, and just as it is could be utilized for
lubricating purposes. Il burns freely and
emits that peculiar odor 50 characteristic
Of petroleum. IL possesses, in fact, all the
features Of that from regular well sup
Piled by n strong vein, but whether 1t
really comes from q vein or nst can only
be told by prospecting the ground, as is
always done in the oil regions.
