Results from an Invention.

DIR. Larener, writing of the steam
engine, said: "To enumerate it's pres
ent effects would be to count almost
every comfort and every luxury of
life. 1t has increased the sum of hu-
man happiness, not only by calling
new pleasures into existence, but by
so cheapening former enjoyments as
to render them attainable by
those who before could never
have hoped to share them. The
surface of the land and the face of the
waters are traversed with equal
facility by its power; and by thus
stimulating and facilitating the int
course of nation with nation, and the
commerce of people with people, 1T has
knit together remote countries by
bonds of amity not likely to be
broken. Streams of knowledge and
information are kept flowing between
distant centers of population, those
more advanced diffuslng civilization
and improvement among those that
are more backward. The press itself,
to which mankind owes, in so large a
degree, the rapidity of it's i'm
prOvement in modern times,
has had it's power and influence
increased in manifold ratio by its
union with the steam engine. 1t lie
thus that literatU re is cheapened, and
by being cheapened, diffused; it lie
thus that reason has taken the place
of force and the pen has superseded
the sword; it is thus that war has al
most ceased upon the earth, and that
the differences which inevitably arise
between people and people are for the
most part adjusted by peaceful ne
collation.

The Pretty Woman.

Boston Gazette.
A pretty woman must first of all
have clearly cut, regular features.
she must have full clear eyes.
She must have q skin that is abov g
reproach, untouched by rouge or
powder.
She must have glossy hair that has
never known the touch of bleach or
dye.
She must have a good figure,
plump enough, yet slender enough,
though Dever suggestive of an angle.
She must have Q white, expressive
hand, preferably small one, but not
of necessity, if 1t is we'll kept and
white.
She must have small care. and a
throat that is like marble column for
her head.
She must know how to put on her
clothes, or she loses her beauty.
She mustfully unde stand what be is
suits her in the way of hair dressing,
and cling closely to that.
A woman may have all these at
fractions, and unless her own person
ality is charming, unless she has tact,
it dawns on you, after you have seen
her once or twice, that she is not q
pretty woman, but doll.

The PNEUMATIC OF Paris.


The entire mechanism of the pneu
matte clock system, as in use at pres
ent conists, according to the Horolo
gicsl Journal, of three distinct parts
the central clock, the receiving clock
and the tubes for conveying the com
pressed air to the several receiving
clocks. At the cen trail station air is
compressed to pressure of about five
atmospheres by means of a compress.
or, and is stored in a large tank OF
about % cubic feet capacity From
this main reservoir the compressed
air is conducted in to second reser-
voir in which its pressure is regulat-
ed at seven. tenths of an atmosphere
by means of simble automatic con
trIvance. Every minute this distri-
buting tubes by means of q distribu-
ting clock. The cen trail station is pro.
vided with duplicate apparatus, so
that if one distributing clock is out of
order or disturbed IN any way, the
other can be set in operation in few
minutes.
The mains are made of wrought
iron are about Lis inches in diane
ter and are Connected with lead tubes
three-tifths of an inch in diameter,
for conveying the air into the houses.
The tubes leading TO the several
stories are one fourth of an inch in
diameter, and are connected with
lead or rubber tub one eighth of an
inch in diameter, communicating
with the several clocks, and prefer
ably colOred the same as the wall

the pressure of seven tenths OF an at
mosphere. ana permitting the com.
pressed air to pass through the tubes
for twenty seconds, any number of
clocks can be operated on at distance
of one or two miles from the central
station.
The mechanism of the receiving
clock is alike in all cases, and is en-
tirely independent of the dial or the
location of the clock. A small
bellows, resembling that used
in pneumatic call bells, is in
communication with the tubes con-
Quoting the air from the central office

ly secured to the minute hand arbor.
The wheel rotates the distance of one
tooth every minute, and q weighted
pawl on the other side of the dial
checks the movement. The hour
hand is rotated by means of the
usual dial wheels. by means of a
second bellows the clocks may be
arranged to strike. Many of the prin-
ipal hotels, railway stations, public
offices, courts, etc., of Paris, are pro-

A miller once sold poor, but in.

a credit, for his hungry family. But
instead Of carrying the meal home
and having it made into bread for his
wife and children, he carried it to q
distillery, and had it made into
whisky for himself. This story teaches
that the best things may be converted
into the worst, and that a man who
thinks more of himself than of his
| own family, is bad citizen.

From tho Daily FREQ Press OK September 4. !
1t was an easy matter to pick out the ofll
GERS OF the joint exhibition yesterday. Their
smiles were seen further than were their
badges and it was all owing to the glorious
weather which marked the third day of the
fair. This same weather aided very mate
rally In making the days attendance one
of tbs largest in the history OF the park.
Nearly 10, 600 people we're on the grounds
during the day, and every one seemed to be
getting his or her full share OF enjoyment
out Of the day. The exhibition of stock and
drawing by the oxen occupied tho morning,
aud In the afternoon tho track proved tho
contre of attraction, though the various OK
hibiton halls were crowded all the time.

the last day wished they hadn't Rain fell
until noon, and but few people visited

things looked brighter they usually iol
and the judges deciaed to start the races.
As the afternoon wore along old Sol came
out the track gradually dried up, and the
last few heats were trotted in a blaze of
sunlight During the trotting exhibitors
were busily engaged in packing up their
wares, and by 6 o'clock they had almost all

THE RACES.


bne lnterestlnK tOnte5t.
If the track was dusty Wednesday and
Thursday it was muddy enough yesterday
to make up for the dust OF tho two previous
days. Two or three womsn, a few horse
men and a liberal sprinkling Of children
were on the grand stand when the afternoon
races were called at 1870 ocock An the
horses in the three minute class came out at
the call, Goy. Hendee drew the pole
Charles ? seconl Tom +. third, Pate Lam
bort fourth and George LAMBERT fifth. The
horses Soc away on the third trial and it
soon became evident that the other horses
were not in it with the chestnut, He led all
the way round and considering the cond-
ton Of the track made good time : &c being
announced Th5 horses came under the
wire in this order Gov Hendee. Charles
P, Tom f.. George Lambert, Pete Lam
bert. The Lamherts were easily distances
In the second heat the horses got the word
at'the second trial. Tom Els driver imme-
diatey cut Off the other two horses but the
advantage was Of short duration, for Gov.
Hendee was in the lead at the quarter. In
this position tho horses made the mile, but
the judges set Tom back to last place for
running. He mede no less than 10 breaks
before coming to the turn the first time
round. Time, 2:4S.
The third heat was closely con infested.
GOV. Hendoe and Charles P. were side by
side until the quarter was reached Charles
i. coming under the wire at the half a
.ength ahead. On the last half Tom f.
forged ahead, with Charles p. second and
Gov. Hendee a close third. Ia this way
they finished but Tom +. was set back to
last place for running. Gov. Hendee would
have won the heat had he not broken before
the finish. Time 2.jlt.
In the fourth heat, Gov. Hendee passed
Charles ?. before the quarter was reached,
and tho horses came under the wire IN this
order, with Tom bringing up the rear.
Charles p. gained the lead for an instant,
but the driver applied tue whip and the
horse went into the air, giving Gov. Hendse
the lead again. On the home stretch, how
ever, Charles passed the governor aud in
this order they finished. Time, 300.
Tho last heat was the most Interesting
contest Of the afternoon. Gov. Hendee and
Charles p, had each won two heats and as
Tom L. was practically ont OF the RAGS this
heat was likely to decide the question, Tho
| horses kept well together during the first
AaH. In the last half each Of the three led
in turn but rs they made the last turn the
horses came down the home stretch almost
neck and neck. just before reaching the
wire Tom +. made great squirt, and came
under first in 4:5l, Wit Charles 7. second
and Gov. Hendee close third. Tom had
made no less than - breaks in the mile
however, and was set back TO last place.
First and fourth money went to Charles T.,
