"If the new engine L am about to
have constructed is not capable OF
of making 100 miles all hour I'll give
her TO the first person | meet"
This statement was made yesterday
by Mr.. jackson Richards, the master
mechanic of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad, who was exhibiting
to a party of deepl. interested per-
sons the drawing for a locomotive
which, if successful, is almost sure TO
revolutionize the construction of the
high-spced locomotives. Mr.. Richards
has been working on his latest invcn-
ton for the past ten years. and a few
days ago the drawings were completed
and the patent was applied for. If
the new flyer is as successful as en-
pertS predict she will be it is more
than likely that the time between Phil
adelphia and New York will be made
in less than an hour.
In outward appearance the new
locomotive will not differ materially
from the speedy engines now in Use
on the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad between this city aud New
York. The peculiarly OF construc-
ton lies in the fact that instead of
two cylinder will be located Oh each
side of the locomotive frame as at
present, and the other two will be
cast in what is known as the cylinder
saddle. The inside pair of cylinders
r to be in one piece, aud will lie ON
an angle. The outside cylinders are
TO be horizontal as at present. The
four cylinders will entirely overcome
what IS known to engineers a. the
dead centre. and the engine will be
perfectly balanced without any cOun-
terbalance in the wheels. This latter
will, TO a large degree.
do away with the vicious pounding
which has proven so destructive to
modern roadbedS. The perfect Dalanc-
ing of the engine will be largely due
TO the working of the two cylinders
near her centre. and these same
cylinders working as they do from
such a central point of vantage, will
help out III the matter of speed to a
create degree.

LAZY MARK TWAIN.
4 Glimpse Of The Man and The Cosy Den ii
Which BE Lives

In the early part of last month Mark
Twain sailed for the other side. not to return
to America for two years. The humorist's
family went with him. and after month
or two of travel they will seek some
secluded and remote French village. where
the following two years will be spent.
1.-The children" said the humorist to me-
before he left. will have their tutors,
Mrs. Clemens will enjoy the luxury of
complete rest from housekeeping and
kindred evils, while want nothing but
my pipe and my pen. l have no special
literary plans in mind, but shall probably
do little something. No. no, shall not
take the '1nnocents Abroad again; that
would mean too much travel, and | can't do
what did years ago. We are going to live
in quiet fashion, somewhere away from,
anybody, where no one knows Us, and
enjoy each others company.
Passage was engaged some time ago on
the French line by the party under fictitious
names, and perhaps the captain of the
French steamer that sailed from this port on
June 9th will learn from this paragraph for
the first time of the genial company which
was among his passengers.
Mark Twain has queer trinity of lit
erary adjuncts in his workshop, says the
Morning Advertiser, 1t consists of his pen,
his corncob pipe and billiard cue. Prac-
tically, he has two ''dens'' in his home, one
being his bedroom, where he often writes
for an hour before breakfast. But the most
of his work is done in room at the top of
his house, which serves as a billiard-room
and literary den combined. When at work
the humOrists corn OBJ pipe is his constant
companion, and when he is weary of writing
he turns TO his billiard table. He plays an
excellent game of billiards and is really an
expert with the cue. One side of the
wall is entirely taken up with case having

Misses Forney were the bellies of Hanover
town and were always attired in the most
fashionable clothes of those days. When
they retired to their hermit-like life they
laid carefully away their fine linen and
silks, which were never disturbed until the
ruthless hand of the auctioneer pulled them

family. and for many years all over the

for the hidden treasure, says tho Baltimore
Sun. Nearly half century ago mysteri-
Gus woman appeared at Triel. She bought
house and large estate and arOus ed great
curiosity among the rustcs by her meander-
lngs about the village and its surroundings
Having no dealings with the inhabitants she
was, nevertheless, soon detected in SEARCH
ing for the crown of James III by her mys-
FERROUS digsings on her lands. Rumor finally
designated the lady, who went by the name
OF Nine. Deville, as a daughter of English
royalty. An ancient bed IN her house was
adorned with crowns on escutcheons. Lord
PalmerstOn paid her a secret visit Finally
she died, but the legend did not die with

see tree with buds just ready to explode
like popcorn. and, like corn. change sud-

it has popped. But did You actually ever

growth when there was no alarm 10 call

lie down some day beside a gladiolus
bed after the recent rain and sunshine have
made thin crust over the earth, and when
the green spears are just beginning to push
through it. You will see some cracks in the
crust, and by and by little trap-door will
begin TO lift, as though some small Titan
were struggling underneath. Look sharply
now, for if you do not you may turn your
wandering eyes back to find the green
laborer pushing at the door without your
having seen him come. Soon he will throw
back the cover on its hinges and stand there
for the first time in the sunlight an inch
above the ground. All this may De done
even in an hour. Few things grow faster
than gladiolus.-N. Y. Tribune.
