a NOVEL INVENTION.

Trains to Take Up aud Discharge
Passengers and Goods Without
Stopping.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-Mr. A. F. Godfrey.
hairdresser and dealer in this city, has
invented a method of taking up and dis
charging passengers and goods from
railway trains which is decidedly novel.
and If adopted will work complete
revolution i'm the matter of passenger
transportation. The working model and
drawings show main track on the lev
ell and an elevated track in front Of an
elevated depot. with inclined tracks lead
ing to it. The idea is to start train
from one terminus and not have it stop
or slacken its speed until it reaches the
other end. At the same time passengers
may be taken up and discharged at any
station.
main track the rear car switches off and
turns up the inclined plane to the eleva-
ted depot. At the same time another
car runs down the inclined plane, is
caught by the passing train. whirled on
to the main track and becomes a part of
the train. The passengers who desire to
stop ut the next station pass to the rear
car, which is side-tracked as was the
previous one, and another carload of
passengers is taken on. BY very sim
pie contrivance, which acts automati-
cally. when train gets within a GER
tain distance of depot it releases the
car in waiting, which starts down the
inclined plane just "a the last car of the
train is switched off and starts up on
the other side. This transfer of cars is
made without jerking or danger of de-
railing. and the passengers would not he
aware of the operation of coupling and
uncoupl;ng. There are quite a number
of details which are remarkably interest
inr. and all form a system which is ap-
parentiy perfect. The model works
without hitch. Mr.. Godfrey has filed
Il caveAt, and has applied for patent
for his invention.

Mr.. Keppier's Journai on Mr.. C!cvc-
lUnd's Letter.
Puck.
The letter from Mr.. Cleveland to Mr..
Joseph keppler denied certain News
paper lie, and went on with n few re-
marks on newspaper lying in general.
We do not think that President Cleve-
land was in an unhappy mood when he
wrote it.. He was. very likely. in an in
dignant mood. Mr.. Cleveland has suf-
fered severely from toe readiness of
newspapers to circulate calumn,es.
There are dozens of important. repu,a-
bic papers in this country that steadily
and Systematically .ell lies about him.
Some Of them do not invent their own
lies, but only circulate the lies Of others.
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-01-12

Still, that is mischievous enough, and
Mr.. Cleveland has good right to make
public expression OF his dislike OF this
treatment.
His letter does not say or even imply
that all newspapers tell lies. He only
condemn. those that make practice of
circulating Just such baseless stories IA
the one ne was called upon to deny. And
he was quite justified in feeling and
speaking strongly in the matter. Here
was an irresponsible and name!ess writer
setting afoat slander, absolutely iu-
vented from the first word to the last
1t was not a mere exagelation or mis-
statement 1t was in every detail a
work of fiction. Two letters We're de-
scribed-their contents sketched out
which this writer said had passed be-
tween Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Keppler.
when, as q matter of fact, there had
never been a line of correspondence be-
tween them. The whole story was in
tended to cas-; discredit upon Mr.. KEEP
pier, and, to some extent. upon Mr.
Cleveland
And this story, wherever it started,
was copied. without investigation, by a
well known journal of character and
standing. Surely this was n most un-
for severe condemnation. And just as
surely it got it. at the hands Of man
who speaks with dignity and directness.

Confederate Giants Sword.

Washington Hatchet.
Among the relics Of the late war stow
cd away in the United States Ordnance
Musum on Seventeenth street, is a sa
bre fully five feet long, which was
found on the battlefield OF Manassas.
THIS formidable looking weapon was ev-
iiently made in some village black
smiths shop from the tabled plough
share, at the outbreak of the war, and
its handle appears 20 have been carved
with Il jack-knife from a cows horn. \
Viryiuian who visited the museum last
week recognized the sabre as one that
had been used by giant Virginia caval-
ryman in ''Jeb' Stuart's command.
The cavalryman in question" said
the Virginian, "was nearly seven feet
high and broad in proportion. He had
that bIg sabre made by crossroads
horseshoer and promised to hew his way
through the Yankee lines with it and
enter Washington, but, poor fellow, he
was shot at Manassas before he could
carry out his rash purpose"

INCUBATION FOR SWINE PLAGUE.

IN0CULATION O SWINE PLAGUE.
Breeders Gazette: DR.. w II. Rose,
OF the department OF agriculture,
Washington, ID c., has just complet-
ed an extended tour through the Mis-
souri, valley states looking after con
tagiOus diseases of farm animals. He
has secured from the inf cted regions
in Kansas and Nebraska much valu.
able information, particularly regard
ing swine plague. and has forwarded
to Washington Comfortable material
for use in the Investigations being
ly the cause aud nature of this dis
ease.
He stopped over at Springfield On
his way back to Washington, to con-
suit with Col. Mills, S. c~retary OF the
illinois department OF agriculture, re-
garding the health and condition of
farm animals in this state. But Hi.
nois could not, at this time, furnish
anything of especial interest in the way
Of cattle or swine dis, ase.
Experiments recently made by the
state authorities in Nebraska seem to
disprOve the Pasteur theory Of inocu-
lation as n preventive OF swine plague.
But DIR. Rose does not consider these
experiments concln.ive. Ii is still an
open question whether tho disease
known as swine plague in Europe is
the same as hat which apo in Ne
braska and Kansas. 1t is possible,
also. that the sO-called swine plague
in our eastern states may differ some
what from hat Of the west.
So long as we'll educated men, hav-
ing ut command every facility Il at
science a supply for the study of
these maladies. are unable TO master
them we are little disposed To rely on
the advertised ''sure remedies and
guesses of the many who claim to
know all about the so called hog
cholera, it's causes, and its cures. A
man who know lit le or nothing OF
physiology and chemistry, or Of study
with the micro. cope. may travel the

OF worms or Other parasites supposed
to cause or result from swine plague.

more or less talk among the women
folks, you know"
Six months later, when Rev. John
Graves received a call to settle at Bur-
banksville, he and Annie Woodruff
were married, and when he brought
her home to make a visit with his
father and mother, the deacon said:
"Well, Philury. lot John alone for
picking out a wife. he didn't need
any help, such a pretty, bright
little creature she is. To be sure she
doesn't look stout enough to hold .:her
WI against a lot Of unrsly sheep,
pushing and pulling against her, but
maybe John won't have many such
members. Sometimes such little
women get along better than the big
ones. Folks handle 'em kind of softly,
and don't jostle against them, because
they are so small there's danger Of
stepping onto EN-"
Years afterwards, when the old dea-
con and his wife visited their son John,
after he had been installed over the
largest church at Crawford City, they
heard SO much Of their sons wife's
popularity among her husbands par
ishioners, they felt sure that he owed
his success in a great measure to his
good wife.
THE truth is, Philury," said the
deacon, "a minister's wife needs to
have plenty of good common sense;
what we say in New England, good,
sound horse sense and Johns wife's
got it. That's one of the Christian
graces, just as much as charity and
long suffering and meekness, and all
the rest of 'em are"

ALL" said his wife. ''It's ring, ring,
ring from morning until nigt. That
girl doesn't more than get down stairs
before she has to 60 up again. There
isn't many girls in Il town would put
up with such sight of tramping. Halt
of the callers had better stay at home
and tend to their own business, such a
FOOLS errand as some of them come on.
Taking her time from her home work
and the children, telling long stories
without any head or tail to 'em, max.
ing complaints about their neighbors,
and trying to get her name on all sorts
Of society papers, and she has to be
so careful about signing them, because
she is Johns wife, and her name mis-
placed would iEjure his cause. But
she manages them all so well, and
doesn't ever disturb John when he is
in his study, to ask what he thinks
| about 'em all. | ask her sometimes il
she isn't tired nearly to death, but she
always looks so cheerful and says,
Oh, no., mother don't believe Miss
Catlin would have done as we'll"

can't take back and exchange if they
don't suit. Ministers are pretty much

Arizona Placers.

For years past placer miners have

Ger gold distributed all the way up

would indicate that the gold came
