A fog signal has been invented by Mr..
Norman Standard, of Bath, England. The
apparatus for carrying aud exploding the
cartridges is fixed on the locomotive and
is adapted to be worked by the compressed
air or vacuum of the brake reservoirs. An
outer fixed cylinder has smaller cylinder
sliding into it, this latter having tube
fixed Numerically across 1t. The com
pressed air can only escape to the atmos-
phere through this cylinder and tube The
compressed air first forces a cartridge from
the magazine into the tube, thus closing
egresS of the compressed air The inner
cylinder is then forced along till the cart
ridge in the tube is in n safe position for
firing. In moving up the two needles have
been forced into the cartridge.
An electrical contact wheel is suspended
from the locomotive. When this comes on
a rail fixed fer the purpose an electrical
circuit is closed and spark sent between
the two needles The cartridge is exploded,
allowing the compressed air to escape, and
the tube is pulled back by a spring, to re-
peat the operation. The moving parts arc
simple and the working is free from shocks.
The electrical apparatus consists of bat
terry and small sparkling coil carried on
the engine, New York Telegram.

A CITY Victim.

1t is not always the countrymen who are
victimized by INSCRIPTIONS confidence
men. lately became acquainted with the
case of u young married lady who has re-
sided in this city all her life, but whose
knowledge of its ways was not sufficient
to warn her of its rascality. Her husbands
business compels him to be away from
New York for several months at time.
During his recent absence she was visited
by a very gentlemanly appearing person,
who persuaded the servant to allow him
into the parlor by the statement that he
had called on important business.
When the lady of the house came down
he whispered to her in an impressively
mysterious way that he was private de
teCtive, and that in the coarse of his pro-
fession he had gained possession of some
facts about her during her husbands alb
sence which would distress that gentleman
very much. The rascal then detailed the
particulars of his story, which, however
false, was cleverly constructed and showed
that he had made himself in some measure
acquainted with the friendships and the
social visits Of his victim. OF course she
should have had the fellow arrested at
once. But she was thoroughly frightened
at his manner and Mortified by what he
said. She hurriedly gave him all the
money she had at the time, and not until
he had gone did she realize the complete
folly of her act.-New York Recorder.

fact brings out the following story; On one
occasion about $4,000 people tried to pay
their respects TO him in person. He had
shaken hands for hours, aud was resting
with his hands in his pockets, while a pro.
cession of enthusiastic admirers filed by.
A little girl, six or seven years old, slipped
through the line of guards about the gen
,eral and went close TO him in dazed, awe
struck way. She looked him over with a
puzzled expression on her face, and then,
taking the right hand from his pocket,
shook it, kissed and put it back, much as
she would put down sleeping doll. The
crowd yelled for the little girl to pass it
around, and the general, taking her by the
hand, stepped forward and resumed the
handshaking. Chicago Tribune

Serious Condition of Chinese Anairs.

aries have brought to their ports numerous
foreign war vessels, and it is among the
possibilities that the great seacoast cities
of the empire may be bombarded. Be
Sides the land from end to end is afflicted
with drought, which causes much alarm
and distress. In many provinces little i'm
ages of the god of war are put out in the
sun to scorch, so that the deity may appre-
ciate the dry and parching condition of his
subjects. At one famous monastery in
Hantanshien numbers of iron tablets are
kept in sacred we'll, and when rain is
wanted in any particular district tablet
is taken out of the we'll solemnly by the
priest and sent to the distressed region.
The bearer is obliged to travel night and
day, for the inhabitants of other districts
are on the lookout to intercept the tablet
and secure its virtues for their neighbour
hood. On its arrival the tablet is wor-
shipped until the rain appears, when it is
sent back again with similar tablet bear

to complete his design, and the remainder
of the building was fitted up like an ordi-

But of all the places of interest connected
with the hero of San Jacinto in Huntsville
none has attracted more attention and COM

The summer rain beats on this lonely sod.
Where sleeps hero with an honored name;
One who in ancient times had been god,
And worshiped in the highest shrine of
fame.
But here moves on the silent seasons tread,
And deeper grows the dust above his un-
marked bed.
Who In the temple of the gods should dwell.
If genius claims place in such fame,
Sleeps here, naught his burial place to tell
Save where green Nature hath her fingers
lain,
Or some old comrade with a thoughtful hand
Hath set a stone to keep his record grand.
