Spark Conductor for Locomotives.
The last number of The Scientific
American contains illustrations repre-
senting the device for discharging
smoke and sparks from locomotive
at the rear of the train, invented and
patented by our townsman Edward j.
Brandt. Pipes extend rearwardly from
each side of the smoke box into chan
mel, being connected by a coupling
with pipe in which telescopes one end
of flexible tube, connected by Sec
ond couple with one end of a pipe held
in the front end of the first car. This
car is provided with an exhaust fan
or blower, driven from the car axle.
The pipe connection from the smoke
box leads to this blower and the smoke
drawn in as the moving train operates;
the blower is discharged into pipe
upward into a channel formed longitu-
dinally in the top of the car, this chan
mel being made of sheet metal and
forming the rounding top of the clear
story of the car. When the train is
at stand-still the smoke and gases es-
cape in the usual manner, through the
smoke stack. Should Mr.. Brandt's in
vention prove what is claimed for it,
and the device comes into general use
upon railroads, it would make travel
ing, especially in the summer season,
far more comfortable and enjoyable
than at present, with the necessity that
exists for sitting in car with closed
windows, no matter how hot the day
NAV be.

s'The one thing necessary said prominent
real estate man from New York to Republican
reporter yesterday, ''to the development of large
real estate deals in Denver is for your people to
learn to actively, extensively and practically
buy and sell options. Your owners are afraid 70
give or sell an option lest the party make some
thing on it. They do not consider that it Is
their Discrimination to sell and not the option
system that causes them to miss it on rising
market. Options facilitate sales just as adver-
tisements and real estate agents do. Many of
your own citizens who do not do so would buy
from each other were options in genuine vogue.
In New York the great majority Of large real
estate sales are preceded by options. Intending
buyers go to sellers and say, 4 win give you
syour price if you win give me an option of one
or three months so can sell my property and
make the payments. Unless I am to get your
property do not want to commence to sell
mine.' Options million-dollar properties are
often given for nothing. The owner
is indifferent. If the party to whom
he gives the option don't take
the property nothing is lost. If he does or finds
some investor to take it, the seller receives his
price, and that is precisely what he has wanted.
He don't care whether the party to whom he
gave the option makes more or less. 1t is no
more than giving an agent a net price, with this
difference, that the agent is made secure and
works the harder TO make a sale. was amused
on Tuesday, regular option day in your real es-
tate exchange, to see persons laughed at for
bidding 81 for thirty day options on property at
prices which no sane man would take an option
on as a gift. To accept an option is to under
take to work hard and spend money in efforts to
make sale in the hope of making something.
It is a great favor to an owner who holds his
property at full price to accept an option from
him. Bids at the Tuesday sales of options will
run up just in proportion the property is low
as to price and easy as to terms. Denver ur-
gently needs practical introduction of options.
Il Denver Republican.
The above might be considered with in
terest by Fort Worth real estate owners
who desire to sell. The grant OF an OPP
ton is, in fact, the employment of an
agent whose only hope of profit lies in
prompt and energetic work, for with the
option-holder it is no sale, no pay. Men
will not work without hope of reward,
and the present low price Of Fort Worth
real estate is in some measure due to the
fear of owners that the buyer may make
a profit on the land he buys. The sug-
gestions in the Republican article are
well worth consideration IN Fort Worth.

TIE DALLA& FALR.

AS will be seen from THE GAZETTE s
Dallas report, the work of disposing of
the $50 900 second mortgage bonds for
the Texas state fair and Dallas exposition
progresses slowly and draggingly. 1t is
necessary to raise this amount of money
in order to place the institution on solid
permanent basis. The delay in perform
ing duty which must be done is losing
some valuable time for the management
to say the least 1t is Indicative of lack
of enterprise and public spirit which is
anything but creditable to Dallas, and a
state of affairs which proper city pride
should never permit to exist.
There are numbers Of wealthy men in
Dallas, men whose bank accounts have
been largely added to by the exist
ence of the fair for three years. These
men should certainly be willing to do at
least small part of what the fair has
done for them. They should not let such
a splendid public institution shrivel and
die for The lack OF financial aid, which
and THE GAZETTE hopes that they will be
liberal enough TO discharge this duty to
their town and their state.
THE GAZETTE is by no means officious in
thus making plea in behalf of Dallas
enterprise. 1t takes the broad ground
that the fair is a state institution which
should be maintained at any reasonable
cost. 1t knows that the fair has been
productive of much good for Texas, and
if properly supported viii be productive
of much more good. 1t is part of THE
GAZETTE s mission to encourage every
thing that tends:to the good of Texas, and
it urges Dallas to sustain the fair in the
same spirit that it urges Fort Worth to
build the Spring Palace.
However great have been the benefits
to the state from the fair, the direct ben
efits have been reaped by Dallas. Not
less than $500 900 have been left in Dali
las each year that the fair has been held,
and win the business men of that town
lose such a magnificent revenue rather
than lend 10 per cent. OF that amount to
the Institution that creates it? THE GA
zRTTE merely suggests this point-does
not urge it. The Dallas press can urge
its local interests with propriety, but
THE GAZETTE speaks for Texas when it
urges Dallas to sustain the fair, and not
to let it die for lack of local aid.

Always Has Been Supporter of the Commits
sion Bill.
AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. s, 1853.
To the Gazette.
In THE GAZETTE of the 9th inst l no
tee news item headed Austin, Feb.
., - in which the statement is made that
the opponents of the commission bill held
consultation at the Driskill, and fur
Their, that Hamblen, Gresham, Owsley
and Jagoe viii lead the opposition for
ces on the floor. To-day / see in TIE
GAZETTE of yesterday, that McComb will
probably lead of for the opposition, and
will conduct the fight with Owsley,
Gresham and Jagoe as his lieutenants.
Each and all of those statements in so
far as they relate to me are entirely I'M
authorized and wholly without founda-
ton. 1 have never at any time met in
consultation with those who oppose the
commission bill and have never proposed
and do not now intend TO oppose the COM
mission bill. On the contrary / am in
favor of the bill and am and always have
been one of its supporters.
The bill before the house does not cOn-
form TO my views of what n commission
bill should be, and / hope TO see impOr-
tant amendments made to it, but I shall
support the bin as the best available
measure whether any amendments are
made or not.
THE GAZETTE has placed me on the
wrong side of the question and thereby
done me an injustice. 1 trust, however,
that in your next issue you will publish
such a statement as will correct your
error and set me right Yours respect
fully, ALVIN C.. OwsLEY.

tanned the following in its Austin special,
but Mr.. Owsley's letter is printed that
full justice may be done the gentleman.

The statement wired THE GAZETTE that Owsley
would be one of the leaders against the commits
sion bill was mistake. He favors the bill,

THE BEAUTIFUL.

The sunbeams fall where God willeth,
Adown from the glowing sky,
And the ways of the good are lovely
And the beautiful cannot die.
True it may fade fer season,
Or be hidden by tears of pain.
But OH marvel of faith triumphant,
It's form viii arise again.
To know the beautiful ever,
The heart must be pure and sweet,
And then above and around us,
Within us, beneath our feet.
It's blossoms will spring, and their fragrance
viii fill the air like song,
And our prayers on its breath be waited
Up to Gods glorious throne.
It's touch, like the touch of an angel,
The senses bewilder and thrill,
And its voice through all of life's tumults
Doth the soul with melody FILL
Darkness unto the dark-hearted,
Shadows unto the blind,
But the true of heart and the faithful
The lilies of love will find.
Life is burden betimes,
And full of fears and unrest,
But open the blinds to the sunlight,
The beautiful ever is best.
Harriet Smead.
