Chicago. Milwaukee g. ST. PauI.

Ten new passenger locomotives have
just been built by the ST. Paul road, with
special reference to the new contriyance
to be adopted at Watlsworth with view
to expediting the fast train. The coutriv-
apce in question is long tank laid be-
tween the rails and filled with water.
The locomotives are provided with a
spout which will extend into the tank,
and the suction produced by the motion
of the train will fill the engine boiler
without stopping the train or Stacking
speed. 1t is said the tank will be two
miles long. By this means the time of
the fast train between Chicago and Mil
waukee will be reduced TO two hours and
fifteen minutes, the number of stoppages
between milwaukee and Chicago being
two instead of three.

DAVID B. OLIVER, one of the heaviest
iron manufacturers of Pittsburgh, Pa,
writes as follows to The Pittsburgh Dis
spatch, showing not only the danger to
the country from the Mills bill, but some
tof its inconsistent claims:
The Mills tariff bill proposes lower
rate of import duties on all classes and
kinds of iron than are now in use. Some
kinds it places on the free list. It's friends
claim that it is necessary to reduce the
surplus. How this is to be done by re-
educipg the duties and thereby increasing
the volume of imports and necessarily in
,ereasing the revenue derived from im-
ports, is hard to understand.
Aside from that, however, any interfer-
sence with the present tariff through the
medium of the Mills bill, or any other
bill, is fraught with great danger to the
iron trade, but more especially will it in
lure the workingmen. As between the
cost of producing iron on the present rate
of wages, and the selling price of his pro
duct, the iron manufacturer is, as it were
hanging by the eyelids, and any reduction
in the tariff must of necessity come off tbs
worklngmen, and I think they realize this

SPEAKING of the action of the New
York Democratic State convert ton, last
week, in placing President CleveIand's
course on high, patriotic and elevating
plain, and especially in claiming for him
credit for having purified the civil service
of tie government, The Madison Journal
hiss the following, which we think meets
the honest sentiment of every Repub-
licap: 1.-THE entire platform of the New
York Democracy is one of the most sub
lime presentments of bold, impudent,
shameless assumption and Lying which
has ever been Illuminated by any political
convention. There never was political
aparty SO great in promises and So absolute-
ly Disappointing in performances.

The robins and the blue birds, with the rip bling brook, lent sweet accompaniment to the singing of the choir and many hearts attested through the tears of love the presence of Gods Spirit ill the soul. Four were baptized and added to the Church the same day according to the custom of Christ's church. The ordi- nance over, the large concourse of peo- pie hurried to the after service in the House of God.
