AN ELECTRIC CARRIACE.

AN ELECTRIC CA ARRlAGE.
 The time may come when the chief use of that noble animal, the horse, will be on the race track. It is announced that a newly invented electric carriage will soon appear on the streets of Boston. The motor is of closed field type, working at 1000 revelations per minute, with 8 poten- tial of forty volts. Upon level grade a speed of from ten to fifteen miles an hour can be accomplished. The steering appara- tus and brake attached to the same are in genious and readily operated by the person in charge of the vehicle. Relying upon these auxiliary attachments the steepest hills can be climbed with impunlty. The vehicle cannot go backward, unless so di- rectsd. Should the motor fail to act, 8 connection break, or any accident of any kind occur, the carriage will stop (and this irrespective of the brake.) The storage cells will also furnish light and heat, if re- quired, at slightly increased running ex- pense. They are two-thirds lighter than any cells heretofore used and do not in fringe upon any previous patents.
 This invention may make it possible to transport passengers over roads where it would not be profitable to build electric railroads. And the time may come when everybody can have little electric carriage of his own just as everybody can now have 8 bicycle. These are rapid times.

The salary of the Chilian president is $18,00o year. If he can do other things as well as he can eat humble pie he is worth it.
 It is asserted that false teeth increase life from four to six years. We do not know how anybody found this out, but we suppose that the statement will Ego" until it is assailed by some Old Sanitarian.
 "Unknown graves'' will not hereafter be numerous in Belgian military opera tions. The Belgian Minister of War has just decided that in future every soldier will be furnished with 8 small bone disk, bearing the name, birthplace and regimen tai number of the holder, so that in the event of his being killed or injured on the field of battle identification will be easy and rapid.
 There is nothing that will increase the military efficiency of Germany that isn't thought of. Frauleiu Helen Lange of Berlin has proposed to the German gov ernment that all girls between the ages of IS and 22 years shall be compelled to serve one year as nurses in the hospital, attendants in the peoples kitchens, the kindergartens, the homes for nurses, gov ernesses and servants in order to increase the number of capable nurses and attend ants necessary in war times.
 Some people can travel in style. The imperial railroad train that has just been made to order for the German smperior has cost the Prussion exchequer nearly | $1, ,OOO, O,O00. It is composed of eleven car | riages connected by corridors, and all con structed on a style of unparalleled luxury and magnifcence. One carriage, which is designed to be the Kaiser's study, is hung with real Gobelin tapestry from Charlott | enberg, and the salon carriage is uphol stered in white satin. The remaining csri comprise a nursery, reception room adorned with marble statuary, an oak din ing-room, kitchen, and bedrooms fol several guests. This beats even the ''lim ited" trains of this country.

Europe. The only explanation possible was that this nightingale was a new conner that was being acclimated.

It is hard to get ahead of Woman in this
 country, even when she is young. An
 Ohio paper tells 8 story of two young girls
 who were recently travelling on a train in
 that State. As the train stopped at sta
 tion, two ladies entered and took seats in
 front of them; then @ stout lady came
 forward and greeted them and kept up 8
 lively conversation until the train started. Then one of the two said: "Sit down here near us, and tell those girls to sit some where else." So the stout lady turned and said, in freezing tones: "T wish to converse with my friends, and would like that seat. I am Mrs. President R., of this road" The girls stared at her an instant, and then one of them dIawled, ''Pleased to meet you, I'm sure. suppose you know am Mrs President Harrison, of Wash ington." The other girl, settling herself comfortably in her seat, said, "And I am Mrs. Queen Victoria" Neither of them moved, and Mrs President R. had to go back to her own seat.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 About the middle of last December 8 gentleman well known as an expert in horse railroads issued bulletin to the public.
 He stated that "we are doing all we can to finish the Winchester avenue horse rail road" He was also kind enough to inform us that in few days "we will run the care from Division street to the corner Of College and Chapel street.
 To those who. like myself, have to walk a long way i'll order to reach the Shelton avenue cars, it seems as if it was about time for five" to start the Winchester ave- nue cars running. ARMoRY.

of fare in general being sandwiches and beer, while all the refreshment bars in the opera itself were literally cleaned out. A good many of the spectators in the cheap places had with commendable forethought, supplied themselves with provisions, bring ing rolls and sausages and such small eat ables with them in luncheon baskets, the opera was given and everybody was most enthusiastic, and applauded all the perfor- mers with frenzy, and insisted on calling them three or four times before the curtain at the close of each act, so that it was half past nine before the performance ended.
 At last the poorer classes of Paris have offered to them the highest form of musi- cal entertainments, at prices within their means, and they are no longer compelled to seek for cheap amusements at the cafe concerts and music halls.
