In promotion. 1t was this way: Early
In the summer OF 1861 the First and
Fifth Army Corps were consolidated.

of veterans (Roy Stones and Rowley's
old brigades), to which was added
fine new regiment, the One Hundred
and Eighty seventh Pennsylvania, and

position across the Norfolk Railroad,
which brought me close upon the

MACHINE.


MACHINE.
zontal screws connected by bevel
gears. In vertical planning the tool Is
traversed up and down this column by
. vertical screw, driven by bevel gear
ing below. The driving nuts which
run on these screws are very long,
and completely envelop the screws,
thus having ample wearing surfaces.
The tool saddle is balanced by a weight
inside the column, supported by verti-
cal chains Automatic and hand feeds
are provided both to the saddle and
column.
The driving is effected through two
sets of pulleys, the smaller giving the
quick return motion after the cut, and
the belts are SO arranged that one belt
leaves the first pulley before the other
begins to drive, and by this means the
wear of the belts is considerably re-
duced and their life prolonged. The
change of driving from vertical TO
horizontal can be effected instantan-
eously, and vice versa, tho feed being
also changed ut the same time.
The arrangements are such that 1t is
impossible for the driving gear of
either motion to be put into action
until the feed-gear OF the other motion
is thrown out, and thus all risk of
breaking the machine is avoided.

Innocence in his travels abroad. Gen.
'Erank Heron told me this story and
could not tell lie. Heron says that
Zone day during the Governors visit he
happened to be in the Office of the
hotel when he saw evidences of excite

man, with big cane, was going

1t seems that the Governor, with his
N ual spirit of economy, had occupied
an inside room at the hotel-that is, a
room without any windows except one
which opened into court. The sash
of this window had been fastened
down so that it could not be raised.
The Governor in the morning bad

toilet had discovered that there was
no slop kettle in the room. Wishing
to dispose of tile water from his basin
after using it he, with his Western
abit, sought to thrown it ont of the
window. He had tried the window of
the court, but could not raise it, and
just then he observed a transom over a
door which connected his room with
another. The trausom was open and

To Reduce Leakage.

An English firm has brought out .
new steam valve, the object of which
Is to reduce the liability to leakage,
owing to hard and gritty substances
getting between the valve aud the seat
ing. This has been effected by en-
ploying composition washer. which
is let into recess OF the valve. and
which wears against raised fat scat
ing when the valve is closed. By this
arrangement any gritty substance
reaching the seat OF tho valve Is
pressed into composition washer and
does not prevent the valve from
closing tightly.

According to a French investigator
the production of smoke does not re-
suit in an important waste OF fuel.
Even where the smoke is purposely
made as dense as possible. he says that
the waste of combustible material is
less than ] y per cent. lie considers
that the best method Of reducing the
smoke to minimum is to burn it by
providing for its being mixed with very
hot gases.

THE GOLD COMES BACK.

Several millions of gold from Europe
have reached this country within the
past few days, millions more are on the
ocean westward bound, and the cable an
nounces that still more millions are being
drawn from English ban ks for shipment
here. There is every prospect that within
a short time the greater part OF the eighty
odd millions Of gold shipped from this
country to Europe during the last fiscal
year will be returned.
This is interesting and pleasant news,
but there is no reason for getting excited
about 1t. Eighty millions Is a mere trine
for country where aggregate wealth II
reckoned by billions.
We were not impoverished when the gold
when It comes back. We got its value in
exchange when we sent II away, or II
would not have gone. We must be giving
its value In exchange now, or 1t would
not be coming back. The country is
neither richer or poorer in either case.
The gold itself Is a small matter, but
when 1t went away by virtue of the
peculiar condition OF the public mind
then 1t took business confidence with IL.
In the measure to which 1t restores that
confidence its return is a financial bless
ing.
But no one should quit work and sit on
the curbstone waiting for the flood Of
gold to go rolling by. Eagles and double.
eagles will still have to be earned before
they can be spent.

CONGRESS-.

We have been hoping and we still hope
that Congress will promptly repeal the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act and
relieve the country of a burden 1t has
borne already too long. But the news
that comes from Washington is by no
means reassuring. The silver men mean
fight and that is apt to mean long and
and protracted session.
In the face OF what has been said, In the
face OF the clear statement made In the
Presidents message as to what our past
experience has been with the purchase OF
silver to a limited extent, how can the sill
verite, II he has any patriotism about him
whatever, II he has any regard for the
country as whole aside from the little
patch on the earth's surface that for the
time being he represents, how can he
come In at this hour and advocate the
free coinage OF silveri II the coinage Of a
limited amount Of silver has brought dis
aster, distress and general business de-
preston, what would IL have been II II
had been unlimited coinagee No one
could foretell the baneiui, and direiul re-
suits.
In our present state of business affairs
we cannot readily await any long discus
sion OF the matter. Promptness is what
is needed, and II Congress acts quickly
the country will give great sigh OF re-
lief.
We are at least certain OF one thing,
and that 10 that no conditional repeal OF
the Sherman act to make the next stage
worse than the last will ever be approved
by the President. He stands as bull
wark between the business interests OF
the country and the selfish, sectional in.
terests OF a set Of men who are blinded by
their own folly. We know very wei
what he will do II the silyerItes get th'
upper hand. We hope they will not.
1t is time now for every public spirited
mon to rise above the demands of tn,
party. A patriotic duty remains for hin
to do, one that his constituents call upor
him to perform. To repeal the purchasing
clause of the sherman act Is the battl,
cry of the hour. Through II alone is tn
road to safety. There is no question
about our own representatives. Rhod
will be found standing with the advo
Gates OF a sound and honest currency
They will not be found wanting In tn
hour Of trial any more than they were Il
