cul de sac from which there was no es

The writer, being midway between the
column and the scouts, had full view a
the fleeing herd as it charged two Oh
three hundred yards past him. Seeing
several stragglers he dismounted, picketeG
his horse and killed two or three.
He was beginning to enjoy this battuC
shooting, when "A volley of bullets came

Tho Willy Italian.

An Italian who conducts q confoc-
tioncry stand in Park Row has adopted
novel idea to force custom, says'thc
New York Tribune. He leaves n silver
half dollar lying upon the glass case in
which his wares arc incloscd. Natural
~ every one who comes along looks ut
the half dollar, and as consequence
has his attention called to the goods be-
meath the glass. Occasionally so,no
wcll-mcaning individual, thinking such
n reckless exposure of money unintcn-
tional and due to carclcssncss, will
pause, call the attention of the Italian
and point to the coin. The Italian pre-
tends to misunderstood the reason he is
called. Half pound car'mcls, did
you say?" he inquiries, blandly, rs he
picks up the half dollar and puts it in
his pocket. "Er-cr-a-ycs," the victim
replies about nine times out of ten.
Why he does so reply it would be diff
cult to say, except on the theory that
his good sense mclts beneath tho SUI
preme blandncss of the Italian.

A Fortunate Town.

From tho Richmond Times.
Our Bucna Vista letter of a few DAYS
ago contained tho following suggestive
paragraph:
"Tho electric light plant here is tho
property of the town, and has been in
operation less than year. 1t now has
patronage of 500 incandcsccnt lights.
and the profits arising from them enable
the town to pay all the expenses of
operating the system, making tho street
arc lights free. This plant promises to
be source of great profit to the
town The wator-workS, it is believed,
Will in short time yield an equal
profit to the town. There is no doubt
That IN tho near future the town i'm
prorcmcnts will yield a revonuc con-
sldorably more than will DO needed to
pay the current expenses OF govern
ment."
Some time ago. in discussing tho ques-
ton of the policy of selling out the
richmond gas-works we quoted from
The Nation abundant testimony to tho
TACT that in England, after long eXpcr-
lencc in private ownership of gas-works,
the people of the various cities were
gradually becoming convinced that
every city or town ought to own it's own
gas-works. Theoretically it is fine
thing to keep city FREQ from "cntang-
ling alliances" resulting from it's own
ing gas or water or electric plants; but
in point Of fact those cities arc best cir
cumstanccd which do not depend upon
any private company or corporation for
It's convcnicnces or for any of the ne
cessarics Of lifo.
Professor Ely, Of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, lays down a proposition which
cannot DO successfully dcnicd-that no
franchise ought ever TO be given away
innany city. The franchises at the dis
posal Of a city's council are too valuable
to be bestowed as gifts. For example.
Richmond might as well as not have
received one-fourth Of cent for every
passenger carried over her street rail
ways.

The biggest Stationary Engine in til,
World.


At the Fricdensyille Zinc Mines. six
miles south of Allentown, Pa, thcro is

underground drainage, nearly every orc
pit, spring and small stream within a
radius of five miles. Tho engine is
known as the "Prcsident," is of 5000
horsepower, and is run by Ii boilers.
AT each revolution of its ponderous
wheels small stream is thrown out,
the number Of gallons raised every
minute being 1900.
The driving wheels are 81 feet in
diameter and weigh 40 tons each. The
sweep rod is 40 feet long. Tho cylin-
der is 40 inches diameter, while tho
piston rod is Is inches in diameter, and
makes a 10 foot stroke. The engine has
ballast box capable of holding 60 tons
and to feed the boilers IS tons Of coal
are required daily. On the engine is
tho largest nut in tho world. II is
heXagonal shape, and weighs l,6OO
pounds. TO tighten or loosen the nut
twenty men are required, while the
wrench that fits it is 90 feet long.
From the end of the walking beam of
the engine to the bottom of tho shaft
tho distance is 800 feet. The masonry
on which the engine rests is los feet
deep some of tho foundation stones
weighing five tons. The engine oper-
ates four pumps, three Of which are
