ments
Messrs. Ell. K. Porter will ship six
engines to Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, S.,uth America, to be used
On raj road which runs between that
city and the coffee plantations lying
cut in the country. They are of special
sizes, with a nine-inch cylinder and a
slxteen-inch stroke. A young Law
reneeville mechanic, Mr.. William
Byers. will accompany the engines to
their destination and superintend their
reconstruction.
The greatest obstacle to be overcome
In shipping of such freight to foreign
markets is in acking them. Each of
these engines has been put together in
their works, and has been subjected
to severe test. This is necessary,
as the contract demands that the en-
gines must prove entirely satisfactory
before they are accepted by the rail
road company. They are then taken
apart, and each piece of the engine is
packed in a separate box, which is
made expressly for that purpose.
About 1000 feet of the best hemlock
humber is required to pack one of these
little engines. They are shipped TO
New York. and from thence by d sail
ing vessel to their destination.
Each is supplied with automatic and
steam brakes. The air brake has not
yet been introduced The couplings
also differ slightly from engines used
GA American railroads. The furnaces
are SO constructed that either coal Or
wood can be used as fuel.
This is the first shipment of engines
ever made to Buenos Ayres by this
firm, which enjoys the reputation of
being the first firm to introduce an en-
gine into Eastern Asia.-Pittsburg

HINTS TO RECITERS.
Why Emphasis Is No Less Import8It
Than Infection.

Why Emphasis Is No Less Important
Than Infection.
In every sentence there are particu-
lar words demanding special accentua-
ton; and by false quantity the mean
ing of phrase may be entirely mis-
represented. Nouns and verbs receive
the largest share of attention in this
regard. Contrasts must be strongly
marked, while antitheses demand the
greatest force of emphasis. To keep
an attentive eye upon the precise
meaning of the text is the great de-
sideratum. Should doubt arise as to
the correct emphasis of sentence, a
useful rule is as follows: It is a fact
that in ordinary conversation, people
even the least educated instinctively
speak with expressive accumulation; it
is only when they come to render the
F.! thoughts of others, or to read from a
printed page, that their habitual and
unconsciously acquired art fails
them. Thus the proper emphasis
j is the natural. Take, therefore,
your doubtful passage, and ex-
press the thought colloquially-.
us you would talk it to your friend
across the table. You will thus
obtain, not always the proper tone
(the due dignity might be wanting),
but you will invariably perceive the
natural, and therefore the correct, ac-
centuatiOn. Rate of utterance must
also be attended to. The gay, the
mirthfui, the amusing should speed
buoyantly along. Conversatic nal pas
sages should be spoken triptingly on
the tongue. Dignity requires a GER
tain stately, measured movement. The
reverent and sorrowful are slowly ut
tered. In the very whirlwind of pas
sion the speed is fitful, the utterance
irregular and abrupt. Sarcasm is gen.
orally obtrusive and deliberate. Tyros
usually burn to learn gesture; but
graceful, appropriate and powerful
action is almost a special genius in
itself. Let the amateur be as sparing
with gesture as he can. A great elo-
cutionist advises that no movement
whatever be used for the use of which
the reciter can not give reasons in
writing. He states that his own
method is to employ during early re.
hearsal every gesture that suggests
| itself. and thereafter to thin them
down, retaining none for which there
/ is not clear necessity. -Cassell's Maga,
