last three months, and are increasing daily. Pri-
vate sales in the city will amount to nearly as much
more. Lots that sold for $500 only a short time
ago are changing hands at from $500 to $4,000 now.
This rapid increase in real estate, population and
enterprise is due solely to the magnificent mineral
and agricultural resources of this section, its de-
lightfui location and its unparalleled healthfulness.

COST OF BUILDING and LIVING.

The cost OF building a house in Tallapoosa is
in the North. The cost of living is much less than
in New England and the West, and with the mild
equable climate very little fuel is necessary, and
prices. Sickness is a stranger to Tallapoosa, and
vegetables can be raised eight months in the year.
With the present advance in real estate a home that
now costs the settler $500 can probably be sold for
four times that amount one year hence.

A Canine Compliment.

"Perhaps the greatest compliment
ever received by any electric light COM
pany is that nightly rendered to the
Thomson-H Houston plant by a yellow
dog,n writes a correspondent from
Canon City, Col. Regularly taking
his position under the bright ray of
one of our street lamps, he proceeds to
stretched himself out with all the de-
light that a dog exhibits in basking in
the sun. 1t is amusing to see him, upon
being disturbed, seek the opposite side
of the street, look up at the lamp as if
calculating the brightest spot, then re-
lapse into slumber, as though he were
actually summing himself.

Electric hallway in Richmond.


New York Post: The Sprague cleo
trio railway was put in successful opera
tion at Richmond, Va, recently. This
road, which is an entirely new one, has
been built by n New York syndicate,
and is remarkable not only for the eX-
tremely difficult conditions met with,
but as being the most extensive applica-
ton Of electricity to street railway pro-
pulsion in existence.
The total trackage of the Richmond
street railway is about twelve and q
half miles. 1t run q very irregular
course, and reaches tho principal parts
of the city. About nine miles Of street
are embraced in it. The central sec
ton is double track for a distance of
something over two miles, q part being
laid on paved streets and the balance
on macadam or unpaved streets, while
all the extension and branch lines are
on unpaved streets, many OF them in
clay soil, where 1T would be almost an
impossibility to operate horses. The
double-track section partly encircles
the old state capitol and presents great
difficulties. This part of the line, in a
distance of less han l ,000feet has on both
east.and west-bound tracks, four curves,
the inner rails of the west-bound track
being about ~, so, 40,and 30-foot radius.

curves with a track of standard gauge
and with a wheel basis OF six feet, is
much increased by the fact that grades
are encountered on the curves as high
as 7 per cent, and the lay OF the street
has required some of the outer rails 10
be some inches below the inner one. 2
The electric circuit consisted of two
parasitic overhead and the ground
circuits, each being OF compound
character, a technical description of
which is omitted, as it could scarcely be
understood by any except trained cleo
tricians. Each ear is fitted with a du-
| plicate and very powerful motor equip
ment. This is carried entirely beneath
the a body, is very compact, and nee
essitates no radical change in the con-
struction OF the car. One Of the great
objections which has been met with in
applying motors, whether steam, cleo
trical, or OF any other character, to the
propulsion of street railways, has been
! the difficulty of Petting sufficient track

England and the channel Cables.

The negotiations between the French
and England governments for the joint
working OF the submarine cables across
the English channel have progressed so
far that no doubt whatever is now en-
tertalned but that a satisfactory work.
ing arrangement will be arrived at.
The French government are SO far COM
mitted to The proposals OF the English
government, that they distinctly de-
~prolongation of the concession to the
Submarine Telegraph company. The
English government have been equally
firm, the final resolution of the cabinet
lust communicated to the Submarine
company setting lorth that having
thoroughly exami ned the question,
they nave decided not to grant a pro-
longation of the company's license to
land cables on British shores, and not
to renew after January II, 1856, the
working agreement between the post
master-general and the Submarine COM
pany.' The communication really con-
cludes the matter so far as the company
is concerned, as If they cannot ''land
cables on British shores" it puts an end
to their business. The only hope of the
company lay in their being able to pur-
suade the French government to thwart
the scheme of the British %postoffce.
So far as cables are concerned, the
four which connect with France are in
good order, recent repairs having made
them almost as good as new. The two
singld cables TO France now used by the
American telegraph companies are also
working very well. The two Belgian
cables are in u fair condition, and pos
sibly, taking all these facts into consid-
GRAFTON, the British treasury may make

Electricity as a Prime Mover.

In IN admirable popular article on
the electric motor and its applications,
which appears in Scribner's Magazine
OF this month, Mr.. +. l.. Pope rightly
draws attention to the ignorance which
prevails in the popular mind in refer
ence TO the true place of the electric
motor. Thus he shows that the idea
that the electric motor will be employed
to propel vessels across the Atlantic and
perform other work of a similar kind is
not based on sound scientific principles.
He says truly that electricity in its APP
plicatiou to machinery is never in itself
a source OF power, but is merely a con-
v~enient and easily managed form of
energy. But he goes further, and re-
marks that the electric motor is at best
only a secondary motor which must de-
rive its power from some other primary
motor, as the steam engine, the turbine,
etc. This, however, seems to us to be
somewhat misleading. While in the
present state of the industrial applica-
ton of the e~lectsic motor this seems
true, it would have been we'll to have
added a clause to the effect that
the present rapid strides in
thermo-electricity may at an
early date put the electric motor
on tho same footing as the steam engine
when viewed in that light. But, on the
other hand, the electric motor must in
it's way be admitted TO be as much a
prime mover as the steam engine, the
water wheel or the gas engine, all of
which are considered by competent
authorities to come under the category
of prime movers;" that is, machinery
for converting any of the natural
forces into mechanical work. The
right Of n place for the electric motor
among the prime movers can nave no
higher aokuow ledgment than that Of
the celebrated Rankine, who, in hig
book entitled ''The Steam Enginer-
hut which is, in reality, a treatise on
priLle movers-treats successfully of
the water wheel, the steam engine, the
hot air and gas engine, and finally of
the electric motor. Hence, while it
must be admitted that the heat gener-
ated by the combustion OF coal will
probably continue TO be tho prime power
employed, the position of the electri c
motor with respect to the direct ~utiliza-
tion OF that power may be changed at
no distant date. Aud, besides, the cleo
trio battery is to-day, and has for a long
time been, the source of energy for the
electric motor as u prime mover in
every sense OF the phrase.

1t is amusing in the extreme to per-.
cieve the attemptat tiattery made by

gard to Knute Nelson. Fully satisfied,
as are his own Republican friends, that
the Congressman from the 9Th is one of
the foremost and ablest of American
Legislators, being alive to the issues of
the day, and being honest in dealing
with them, the democrats would feign
call him their own. and by means Of
fattery and trickery want to seduce

1t was indeed a hard tussle in Kuute
Nelson's district last week, when the
Republican convention gathered at St.

cessor, Necessarily it had to be a

the start who would be the winner, as
Buchanan and Barto, as well as Com
stock were well and nearly equally
matched. Gilman, who by the way is
named as ,,dark-horse candidate for
the governorship, seemed to take an
interest in the proceedings, especially
Ia the welfare of Barto, and certain
murmurings were expressed to the eff
feet that the la.ter's nomination would
give Gilman clear field.

The last repor is from the Chicago
convention are to the effect that Chaun-
cy M. Depew is the leader in the race
for the presidential nomination. and
that western man, probably Alger of
Michigan or Allison from Iowa will
hold the second place on the ticket.
Gresham, who is the most popular in
the Republican West, has to meet with
opposition from the eastern states, and
the convention will presumably recog.
nize the necessity of being sure OF New
York's vote, which cuts the main
figure in the campaign.
Sherman's followers express them
selves as confident of gaining the dis
tinction they covet for their candidate,
but the youthful bloods of the Republi-
cans favor Gresham.
No matter who will be nominated,

tie the chances for dark horse are
favorable, and even this phase is not

father as King of Prussia and Emperor
