OLD PorNr COMFORT, Va, February
11.-Colonel Frank. post commander
has received orders from the War De-
partment to send five batteries OF artll-
iery and the band OF twenty pieces to
the inaugural parade, and arrangements
are now being made for the trip. Ihey
will leave here Friday night, March 81,
by the steamer Washington, Captain
Davis. and return by the same boat
Saturday evening. -,
The North Carolina contingent, which,
by the way, numbers siXty-three men,
since December LIST has been distributed
among the batteries, and will be IN good
shape TO take part in the parade.
A personally conducted excursion OF
about 100 visitors from New York and
the New England States arrived here
Thursday evening over the Cane Chsries
route. They will spend few days at
the Point and return North r'd hlch-
mond and Washington.
NEW HALL.
The Secretary of War has granted
permission to the Masous and Odd-fel-
Iowa 10 construct hall on the reserya-
ton for their Joint use, to cost about
g. 900. II will be located on the lot adj
Joining the present ball, over the Gov
eminent stable, which will shortly be
torn down.
The officers Of the garrison are not
enthusiastic over the proposed naval re-
view. as it will entail upon them con-
siderable EXPENSE in the way OF enter
tanning foreign officers, which will have
TO come out Of their own pocket. IL IS
one thing to entertain the officers OF a
single ship, hut quite a different matter
when it comes to a dozen or more.
The officers and ladies OF the garrison
gave a german at the hop-room, which
will be the last OF the season.

GOOD SPEED THEN.

to some seventy miles per hour, and If you
will contrast the mud roads and small |
rails of that day with the L rails, fish
bar. and ballastcd roads of to-day, II will
look as If they have not increased their
speed very much since then.
Power is nothing moro or less than
power, be it Of whatever character 1t
NAV. II Is u law Of mechanics that
"no machine is stronger than ITS weak
est part, and it is equally true that the
strongest power II properly applied Will
give the greatest propellng force, and
/ believe that steam Is by far the
strongest power Of the two. The whole
question turns upon the plan or manner
Of tho application. Steam is yet IN It's
infancy 4; 1t is a powerful agent, and It's
strength and might are scarcely yet
known.

STEAM VS.. ELECTRICITY.
Former still in It's Infancy, and
Strength Scarcely Known.

To ne Editor Of ne Dispatch:
read with interest your editorial in
last Sundays Issue IN reference TO the
relative merits OF steam and electricity
as motive powers.
While / know that in the praise and
strong words OF encouragement you
gave the electric-power faction You but
voiced the almost unanimous sentiment
Of the scientists and experts (so-called)
OF the present day. yet ! am confident,
from long, careful, and impartial CON
sidcration Of the two motors steam and
electricity, that the popular opinion is
faulty.
We hear OF the proposed electric road
from St Louis 30 Chicago. to make 100
miles per hour, and you give intorma-
ton OF the proposed electric roads OF
Europe 10 mako 100 or more miles per
hour.
After all that has been or can be said
or written, electricity, like steam, IS
only a motive power, and | certainly
fail t. see where the former has any
more power than the latter, If rs much.
/ have never heard and do not believe 1T
eau be shown where 1t has ever exer-
cised power as great as from 200 TO 0OO
pounds pressure per square inch, and
steam is capable Of all of that or more II
properly confined; and again, ] have
never heard Of electricity tearing
asunder sheets of steel Of a quarter or
half-inch thickness in which IT WAS con
fined as If it had been mere paper, and
it is not likely that we ever will, while
steam power has shown lis ability to do
! that and more.

them when they were making "duccd

When ! was boy lived for several
wears iii Portsmouth, Va (say in 1880,
and at that time it was a debatable mat
ter whether railroads would ever be pay
ing institutions. ! often looked at the
machines and hea d the engineers
talk, and You may believe that to be
ian engineer then was to he
"a mighty big man in a small
boys estimation On on occasion
when il was being discussed whether
railroads would ever pay l remember
we'll the remark Of Mr.. Knight, one OF
the engineers. He said "Of course
they will pay. Why, 1 can make eight
miles m hour with my freight train, and
a wagon and horses OOaded) can only
make about two or three miles and II a
man is going TO haul his stuif forty or
fifty miles he'll be apt TO put 1t on the
railroad and 90 quick, If they don't
charge too much
am told that knight Is still living
and is yard manager in Wilmington,

Several years after this they thought
they were doing big things" when
they made twelve or thirteen miles per
hour and lust a-Aying" when the
speed was from fifteen to eighteen miles.

In old time variation was supposed
to be a special property of the seed
to get new varieties; now it is found
that buds will vary as well as seeds,
and many of the popular flowers in
use by .lor,sts have been raised from
branches which have "sportcd," to
use u technical term, from other
kinds. 1t is further found that even
