Color i'm Horses.

Black horses are of Il hot and fiery
temper and disposition; the chestnut
and brown bay are reckoned to have
strength and spirit; and the white are
always tender. AS to gray, it has been
observed that those which tend the
most to black are stronger than the
brighter grays. There are besides these
other colors in horses, as the roam,
which seems to be the offspring of the
bay and white or the bay and gray. The
sorrel and white seem 10 be the author
of the dun and cream color, and as for
those horses which are called strawberry
they may probably proceed from coup
ling between bright gray and bay.
There are also some horses notified or
red commonly called piebald), either
black and white in spots or chestnut
and white.
AS to the choice of color in stallion,
person of great skill says dapple bay,
the white bay and the dapple gray are
to be preferred, but does not object to a
horse of pure black, provided it has a
white star and white foot. In the
judgment of others however, he should
be all of one color.

Within the past week several trials
have been made at New York Of SUBJ
marine boat invented by Prof. j. i.
Tuck Tho result of the experiments is
to create tie belief that such boat
would make squadron anchored within
a few miles of any of our coast cities ex-
tremely uncomfortable by reason Of the
torpedoss 1t could explode beneath the
enemy's vessels. The boat under trial
called "The Peacemaker," is Of iron,
about 30 feet long by So feet broad and
az feet deep; it tapers from amid
ships to either end not unlike cigar.
Near the forward end is dome II in
ches high fitted with glass, which serves
as pilothouse. At the stern is pro-
peller and an ordinary rudder. Besides
this rudder there are two others which
are horizontal, designed to defect the
course upward or downward. There is
besides device for taking in water
sufficient to sink the boat to any depth
required. The interior is filled with
machinery. There is an engine to pro-
pei the vessel, operated by means of COM
pressed air stored in pipes running
around the interior, and an invention
for supplying from chemicals fresh all
in quantities as needed. Light is sup
piled by an electric lamp, and there is
also apparatus for firing by electricity
the torpedoes carried by the boat after
they have been attached by corked mag
nets to the enemy's iron or steel bottoms.
A gauge is provided for ascertaining the
surface of the water. Three men who
constituted the crew in the recent eX-
pertinent remained under water from
thirty TO forty minutes without incon-
venience, making an excursion during
that time Of several miles. The speed
claimed is eight miles per hour, and the
vessel has been run at depth OF fifty
feet. The trials demonstrated that
Tuck boa. can propel itself at or beneath
the surface of the water in the direction
of the enemy's vessel several miles dis
tant, can afliX two torpedoes and after
retiring a safe distance firethem without
danger to it's own crew.

A Monster Safe.

There is about to be erected in the
premises Of the National Bank of Scot
land, st. Andrew Square, Edinburg, the
largest steel strong-room or safe ever
manufactured. Its external dimensions
are fifty feet long by twelve feet broad
and ten feet high, and careful cOmpu-
tation shows that within il might be
stored about $50 tons weight Of gold
bullion, equal in value to $3.50, 000, 900.
1t is heavy in proportion to its size,
weighing 100 tons. Its walls are be-
lieved to be thicker than those of any
other steel room of similar proportion in
use in the United Kingdom. With the
view of insuring greater security than
has hitherto been obtained, its walls are
composed of triple series of plates,
similar TO those which the firm have for
many years used in the manufacture of
bankers safes. These plates are so tough
ened and hardened as to be practically
impervious alike to the force Of blows,
leverage and cutting by drills. This
compromising of the plates as it is
termed, involved an enormous amount of
drilling, no fewer than 200 holes being
pierced in each section. Admission to
the interior Of this strong room is OBJ
tanned by means Of three massive doors.
each seven inches thich and weighing a
ton and a half, but on the hardened steel
pins on which they are hung they swing
with the greatest of ease. Apart from
the great thickness Of compounded hard
and mild steel plates in these doors, the
principal feature they present is the
patent diagonal bolt. These bolts, of
which there are twenty in each door,
shoot out from the edge of the door at
opposing angles of forty five degrees,
and thus powerfully dovetail the door
into the frame at either side. Thus any
attempted wedgiug between the door
and It's frame simply tends to bind these
bolts tighter into their holes.

A young man out of work began ped
ding lead pencils about Norristowr, Pa.
He went into manufacturer office,
and, as the proprietor good-naturedly
listened, praised his pencils and drew
figures on bit Of paper to show how
good they were. His method of draw
ing and precision of touch led the man
ufacturer to question him. He proved
to be designer of ingenuity and skill,
and before he went out had secured a

Business at this place is looking up,
and seems to give promise of greater
prosperity than it has for some time
past.
We have not seen any letters from
this place for some time, we do not
know if they reached THE HERALD
or not.
Our merchants have gotten in full
supply of goods. Ifyou want bar
gain, now is the time to call and see
them.
Mr.. George Stuckey, the merchant,
seems to be doing "A reasonable
amount of business.
A few days since our business requir-
ed us to go up the Grade far as Stony
Batter, where we found our friend and
neighbor Daniel Stuckey, who is at
present engaged in the mercantile
business at that place. He seems to
be getting along splendidly.
We would be glad to hear from our
esteemed friend Fox. Wake up, and
let us hear from Lovers Gap.
Mr.. Geo. III. Stuckey purchased
valuable horse some time ago. 1t was

rearing on its hind feet and catching
one of the mems thumbs in its mouth,
bit it very severely. OCCASIONAL.

Yes, when the tables are turned after
1888, removals in Office will be in order.
The Democrats will have to get out,
but we say now and will say then,
give them an honest record or give the
evidence to the contrary. We wonder
if it would not be safer to use the
"When" and +" then" in an unlimited
sense perhaps it may be some time
after 1883 before the tables are turned.
Certainly the Democrats do not mean
to yield up at the end of four years
what it took them a years to gain.
We are no politician consequently we
are slow to advance political opinions
however in these uncertain times we
would not be much surprised to see
Cleveland, or one of his party conse-

the five Indians who have been

the Brady House, aged thirty years.
Crowds of people, including men,

hotel to see the corpse. The com
panions of the Indian placed him in
his coffin, with his implements of
war, a comb and brush, and some
bread and meat. They then all
shook hands with him, and went
through number of words in their
own language. A Methodist minis

which from two to three thousand
people viewed the remains. The
room was then locked. This morn

took place from the Brady House,

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

The working men OF Baltimore
are joining the knights of Labor in
large numbers. This order is
spreading rapidly through the coun-
try, and men are awakening to their
interest. Thousands are uniting
weekly, and it is expected within a
year or two that labor will be as
well and intelligently organized as
capital has been. This is as it
should be. The interest of both
will be consulted, and when disa-
greements occurs, as some times
they do, mutual concessions will be
made where differences exist, and
The country will be relieved of disa-
greeable g strikes and i" lockouts y
that have in the past resulted in
only loss to all parties Interested
Far play upon the part of both
parties will result in comfort and
happiness to each, and prosperity
to the nation.
