A venerable colored citizen on Bate.
street was shoveling coal ashes into bar
rel, Friday, and the rising dust had chung
to his features and shrouded his form.
He was working near a large pile OF
them, and in his haste he overstepped the
bounds of his physical powers, and slipping
in the mud rolled over in the ashes until
he looked like a wrath.
A man was fortunately passing by just
in time to see the better half of the mis-
placed colored gentleman rush from the
door and gaze around after her lord and
master.
"Ephrum, whar you be, chile?"
"Chile' didn't answer.
"Fo' de Lawd, whar yo' be, my Ephrum;
oh, whar yo' bef"
With long and melancholy groan Eph-
rain answered from behind the pile of coal
ashes: IAN de Lawd spoke to de chillen oh
Isrul by de piller of fire by night an by
an by de piller of coal ashes by day.
Whaffor you come out here 'sturbin "a
man we'en he's restin on dat same piller of
restitushun? Go way"
Aunt Chloe looked at the ghostly Eph-
rain once, and she said, "Yo done turned
white and FOOLISH" and she disappeared.

The March of the Caravan.

Perhaps the weirdest and most impress
i've of the many unwonted memories that
the traveller carries away with him from
travel in the east is the recollection of the
camel caravans which he has encountered
at night. Out of the black darkness is
heard the distant boom of a heavy bell.
Mournfully and with perfect regularity of
iteration it sounds, gradually swelling
nearer and louder, and perhaps mingling
with the tones of smaller bells signaling
the rearguard of the same caravan. The
big bell is the insignia and alarm of the
leading camel alone.
But nearer and louder as the sound be-
comes, not another sound and not a visible
object appear to accompany it. Suddenly,
and without the slightest warning, there
looms out of the darkness, like the appari-
ton of phantom ship, the form of the
captain of the caravan. His spongy tread
sounds softly on the smooth sand, and like
great string of linked ghouls the silent
procession stalks by and is swallowed up
in the night. Persia and the Persian

Propulsion of Trains by Compressed Air.
An ingenious method of utilizing gravity
In descending grades has been worked out
by an Italian engineer The engine in
running down grade congresses air,
which is utilized in propellng the train up
part of the next succeeding ascending
grade. The accumulators are constructed
for pressure of $50 pounds, and the
mechanism designed for the alternate com
preston and utilization Of the air com
prises three cylinders, two of which are OF
equal diameter and the third of smaller
size. These three cylinders are connected
to one of the two coupled axles carrying
the load by means of the usual crossheads
and connecting rods.
When ascending grade these cylinders
work as compound motor, and during
the descent the action is reversed, and they
compress the air into the accumulators &C.
cording to regulated pressure. The com
mittee appointed to report on this system
are of opinion that its use is at present be-
set with certain limitations, dependent
mainly on local conditions, such as grades
curves, extent of traffic. ETC.; they decide,
however. that the system would be found
most advantageous in the operation of
mountain railways, and in gradients
through long tunnels, where ventilation
is deficient, and where it is especially de-
sirable to avoid the presence of smoke and
gases. = New York Commercial Adver
