being finished. externally, in much the
same manner. The drive wheels arc
about five feet in height, and are ridged
so as to give the wheels a good purchase
on the ground. The front wheels are
smaller and not ridgcd, and can b. turned
in any direction by a rod which runs back
into the cabin. Inside the cab the ma
chinery is much like that of a locomotive,
and has all of the advantages of one. The
engine is reversible, fifteen horse power,
and has an eight inch cylinder. Upon
the rcer end of the engine there is at
tached a coupling, much like that of II car,
to which the frame which holds the four
plows IS attached. One set of plows is
used for breaking the soil and the other
for stirring the same. The frame has
attached to it Il steam CYLINDER connected
with the engine. by means Of which the
plows can be raised or lowered at the will
of the operator without any real cxcrtion.
W hen the drive wheels are not wide
enough to work successfully on certain
kinds OF soil, there is an extra pair which
can be joined to them ON each side, thus
making wheels double the original width.
and thereby increasing its propclling
power. An experienced engineer Is re-
quired to work the engine, as the mechan-
ism is about the same as that OF a locomo-
tive. The apparatus furnishes its own
motive power, propelling itself from place
to place upon ordinary roads at the will Of
the operator.
1t is claimed that ten acres of ground
can be broken in one hour by this means
The engines are now being successfully
used in Dakota, Kansas and Texas.
The Wyoming Development company
will Use the apparatus upon its land on
the Sabille as soon as the ground is in a fit
condition. A man will arrive here Sun
day from the factory in Waynesboro, who
will set the engine in operation some day
during next week, and our citizens will
have a chance to witness its operations, as
the engine will propel itself around our
streets if the authorities will permit. At
present it is at Haas shop. corner of
Eighteenth and Themes streets, and is
attracting a great deal of attention.

HIDDEN FROM SIGHT.
The Remains of James A. Garfield En-
toned.

CLEVELAND. February 6.-The transfer OF
the remains Of the late President
Jamess A. Garfield has been
under consideration for some time,
and this morning James R. Garfield, Lieut..
Edwards, and the soldiers stationed at the
Garfield Post. repaired to Lake View Gem
etry for this purpose. Beyond the under
taker and the press representatives, no one
else were present. The casket containing
the remains OF the dead rested in it's usual
position in the vault, and its shellac-stained
sides presented natural appearance.
Withered flowers were there and evidences
on every hand showed that the illustrious
dead was remembered bv loving friends.
The casket was not opened but was

covering WAS then Theoretically sealed. and
the remains were lost to mortal view for ever.
The sarcophagus was then returned to the
vault. where it will remain until the
handsome monument which is to b.
erected in memory OF the honored dead il
completed. The saFcophagus is a work of
art. It is OF solid bronze metal, hand
somely ornamented, and weighs $50
pounds. The top is partially oval and
massive handles run along the sides and
end. The entire sarcOphagus rests on four

Second Corps, which he led at Frederi cks
burg in December, S62, in the assault or
Mary's Heights. and at Chancellorville
May, 1868. In June OF the same year he
was placed in command OF the Second
Corps. At Gettysburg July 1, on the fall
Of Gen. Reynolds he was sent forward from
Tarrytown by Gen. Meade to assume the
command, arriving on the field just as the
rear OF the beaten Union army was com
ing through the town. His presence was
felt instantly; he stayed the retreat and ex
ing such disposition OF the troops as to
enable him to check the advance Of the
ene,ny and fight and win the decisive bat
tie Of the war, on the I'd and Sd, a battle
in which he fell severely wounded, and for
which he received the thanks OF Congress.
10 enumerate his subsequent services,
after he had recovered from his wounds,
would exceed the limits OF this brief sketch.
Suffice it to say, that he fought and COM
manded throughout the war to it's close,
with a judgment and bravery seldom sur
passed, and that his patriotism never
tagged for moment.
In November, 1864, he was selected to
organize the first army corps OF veterans,
mand OF the Middle Military Division, and
in July, 1866, that Of the Middle Depart
ment, which latter he held until August,
1855, when he was transferred to the
department Of the Missouri, having in the
meantime been promoted to be a Major
General in the regular army. While com.
manding in this department he conducted
an expedition against hostile Indians on
the plains. From September, 1867, to
March, 1868, he was in command OF the
Department OF the Cult and after having
filled other important posts with great
ability and probity he wa finally assigned
to the command OF the Division OF the
Atlantic. where he was at the time of his
death. The name OF Gen. Hancock was
freely mentioned as desirable candidate
on the Democratic ticket in 1865 and
1872, but not being an aspirant for politi-
cal honors, he made no attempt TO put for
ward his claims in that direction. How
ever. at the Democra tic Convention in May,
1880, he was prevailed upon to allow the
use OF his name. and was nominated with
great enthusiasm for the highest Office in
the land. He was, however, defeated by
James 6. Garfield, the Republican nominee.
After the election was over Gen. Hancock
returned to his military duties and con-
tinued to perform them with the signal
ability that had always characterized his

Half the session is now gone, and all the
legislation so far passed has been to help
the polygamists evade or defeat the execu.
