New WoNDER-A Revolution IN Steam Engines


The Jersey City Times has description of machine
now in operation in that city, which, it is claimed, is
destined to work revolution in one department o
mechanical industry, namely, steam engine, which
with one quarter of the weight, and occupying one
quarter of the space required for ordinary horse
engine, will give the power, with 20 per cent
less fuel This little machine sets at defiance all pre-
conceived notions the subject. Its motive power
is all contained within the circumference of broad
stout Wheel about three feeti diameter, revolving
upon hollow shaft, which receives the steam and de-


iVers it alternately into two opposite reciprocal cyn
ders, and fixed between the centre and periphery
The power, therefore, instead Of being at the centre
presents the singular anomaly Of being the circum
ference Or p other words the true centre of power
is at the periphery of the wheel. To use familiar
smle the wheel is like the band drum of squirrel
cage, in which two squirrels were consentaneousy,
one in the usual position, the Other in the opposite,
but with head down. and with motion similar to lv
walking the ceing-both, of course, in contnu.
ally reversing positions as the wheel turns. 1t is an
application of the simple principle, by which, as any
one can see, grindstone may easily be turned by
placing the hand upon its surface while only with
siderable muscular exertion mans hand grasping the
shaft can produce the same notion

spite of this large production, have regretted to
witness that not adequate to the demand for
throng of retail wagons to be in the yard,
awaiting chances in their turn. This fact, together
with the prices asked by retail wagons led to in
quire of the secretary, Mr. d. Pocheu the advantages
offered by the company to these wagons at this season
of the year. when this cooling article is necessary
to public comfort We were informed that the con-
dtons are the same as heretofore, say: Sixty FIVE
cents hundred pounds to retail wagons that have
been in the habit of patronising the company since its


Inauguration, and &C. delivered to all contractors. This
being the case shall more trouble The secretary
with our complaints and will endeayor to make our
best for obtaining justice from the retail wagons who
have SO far supplied US with this luxury. Higher
prices are offered at these works for ice by parties
that were in the habit of using the imported article
They cannot be supplied with any, because the egu


lar customers take away the whole supply aud at the
above low rates. This should be guarantee for the
success of this great enterprise and hope that the
patronage extended to it next will be such as
to enable them to carry their works through the
winter, and store away sufficient quantity of ice for
the supply Of the community next summer.


The ice factory in this city is than able to snI
ply the demand when in running order.

PETTY THIEyING IN HIGH
PLACEs.-One of the boldest
pieces of petty thieving perpe-
trated under authority from
Washington, during the past year,
was that involved in Senator
Ramsey's mission to Paris, under
pretense of negotiating a new
postal treaty. The negotiation
failed, of course, but Ramsey has
had his free trip to Europe, at
cost Of some nine thousand dol
lars in gold. We have bad a reg
ular Minister to France all this
time, and as he has nothing at all
else to do, it would certainly have
been possible for him to learn
that Imperial Government would
not accept the terms Ramsey was
sent out to offer; for that knowl-
edge could have been had at any
moment for the asking. The
whole affair is in the last degree
scandulous; and, if so many other
congressman had not spent the
summer in disporting themselves

In the recently published "Life
of Audubon" is an account of an
interview with Daniel Boone, the
Kentucky Pioneer, at Frankfort
in that State:


sWhile at the town of Frank
fort (about the year 1927 Audu-
bon had an opportunity of seeing
the celebrated Daniel Boone
"barking squirrels" or, in a less
technical phrase, driving them
out of their places by firing into
the bark of the tree Immediately
! beside the position they crouch
into. Audubon went out with
Boone to see the sport, and writes:
We walked out together, and
followed the rocky margins of the
Kentucky river until we reach a
piece of flat land thickly covered
with black walnuts, oaks and
hickories. AS the mast was a
good one that year, the squirrels
we're seen gamboiling on every
tree around us. My companion,
stout, hale, athletic man, dress
ed in q homespun hunting shirt,
|.barelegged and mOccasined, car
ried a long and heavy rifle, which
as he was loading il, he said had
proved efficient in all his under
takings, and which he hoped
would not fall ON this occasion,
as he felt proud to show me his
skill. The gun was wiped, the
powder measured, the ball patch
ed with six hundred thread, and
the charge sent home with hick-
DRY rod.
We moved not a step from the
place, for the squirrels were so
numerous that it was unnecessary
to 90 after them. Boone pointed
to one of these animals which had
observed us, and was crouched
on a branch about fifty PAGES dis
tant. and bade me mark we'll the
sDot where the ball should hit.
He raised his piece gradually un-
til the bead (that being the name
given by the Kentuckians to the
sight) of the barrel was brought
to a line with the spot which he
intended to hit, and fired.


7 was astounded to find that
the ball had hit the piece of bark
Immediately beneath the squirrel
and shivered it to splinters, the
concussion produced by which
had killed the animal, and sent it
whirling through the air, as it
had been blowed up.


The snufing of q candle with
ball had an opportunity OF see
ing near the banks of Green river,
not far from a large pigeon roost,
to which I had previously made a
visit. I heard many reports of
guns during the early part of
a dark night, and knowing them
to be those of rifles, I went to-
ward the spot to ascertain the
cause. On reaching the place l
was welcomed by a dozen of tall,
stout men, who told me they were
exercising for the purpose of en-
ablino, them to shoot under night
at the reflected light from the eye
of q deer or a wolf by torchlight.


At a distance Of fifty PAGES
stood q lighted candle, badly dis
tinguished in the darkness. One
man was placed within a few
wards of it, to watch the effects Of
the shots, as well as to light the
candle, should it chance to go out,
or repair it should the shot cut it
across.


Each marksman shot in his
turn. Some never hit either the
snuff or the candle. One of them,
who was particularly expert, was
very fortunate, and snuffed the
candle three times out of seven,
whilst all the other shots either
mt out the candle, or cut it i'm
mediately under the light.''

What will We do with our Victory?


ALBANY, November 6.-Gov-
ernor Hoffman last night, in the
course of his speech, in response
to a serenade by the Jackson
ians,' said:


I notice that most of the Radi-
cal papers i'm Albany and New
York are asking, "What will they
do with it?-that is the victory -
I am hardly disposed to tell them
just yet. L prefer to give them a
little time to digest the returns;
and when these are fully digested
we propose to give them some in
formation as to what we will do
with it. In my observations I
have found that knowledge sud-
denly acquired is never very pro-
fitable. But I will tell them in
general terms one or two things
we propose to do. We propose
to make, the legislature of the
State of New York honest, and
that is what they have not done
in some time. We propose to use
the legislature for the purpose of
promoting the interests of the
mass of the people, and not the
interests of the few, which the
Radicals have not done in long
time. The Evening Journal has
stated that for many years there
have been a few men in the re-
publican Legislatures who can be
bought. We will show them that
in a democratic legislature there
will he none of that kind. We
propose to give to the people of
the State Of New York, all over,
the right Of self-government. We
propose to abolish such laws as
infringe upon the rights of locali-
ties and secure to them the right
to govern themselves. We will
not abolish such laws and give
the people something worse, but
will give them better laws. We
propose to make the State ofNew
York and the government in all
it's branches thoroughly demo-
cratic. I am aware of the res
possibilities this victory imposes
on me as executive of this State.
I realize their magnitude, and 1
will not say I have no fear Of
them. But by the help of the
people and their representatives,
and all the good counsel L can
get, I hope, in my sphere, to so
discharge it's duties that the peo-
pie will approve my action. 1
believe that the Legislature, which
is about to assemble and legislate
on the affairs of this great State,
will act with such wisdom and
discretion as to show to the peo-
pie of the State and country that
the democracy of this State can
be as moderate in the hour of
victory as they have been patient
in the hour of defeat. We will
be discreet and tolerant; we will
recognize honest men among our
adversaries; we will deal justly,
act honorably, and promote the
great interests Of the people of
the State OF New York who have
demanded and worked q change.

Mosby personally, will bear testi-
