Miraculous EsCAPE.-Tbe engineer in the
Monte Cristo incline, at Queen City, made
miraculous escape from death. one day
last week. In adjusting rope about II
cylinder or windlass, his thumb got caught
in the coil, and in a moment more the man
was entangled in the rope, and made eleven
revolutions. The greater portion of his
body was fastened tight to the cylinder,
being pressed sorely by the rope, to which
was attached car filed with water. After
making the eleventh revolution the rope
slipped from the mans head, and the engine
was stopped. Rather remarkable to relate,
the engineer escaped with no injuries except
few slight bruises, none of which, how
ever, were of sufficient importance to pre-
vent him from working during the day on
which he made such narrow escape. Had
the car, which was being hauled up the in
cline at the time of the occurrence. been
filled with gravel instead of water, it is al
together probable that the man would have
been crushed to death.-[La Porte Messen-

FOR TIE SPEEDY CURE OF

No one remedy is louder called for by the ne

That which protects from or prevents this dis

must run in violent attacks Of this baleful dis

poison Of FEVER AND AGUE from the system and
prevents the development of the disease if takcl.
on the first approach Of its premonitory symptoms
1t IS not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
foy this clGss Oh complaints but also the cheapest
The large quantity we supply for dollar brings It
within the reach Of every body and in bilious
districts, where FEVER AND AGUE PREVAILS every
body should have it and use it freely both for cure
and protection. It is hoped this price will place it
within the reach of all = the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority OF this remedy over any
otA "a N--aAlAA4tAA 4lL tllc SPEEDY anu certain
cure OF 11termttents Is, that it contains Cuine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.


Fever and Ague IS not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. great variety Of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, rheumatism, GOut, Headache Blindness,
ToOthache, EaTache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries Pain In

the Stomach, all Of which, when originating in
this cause, put on the intermittent type or become
periodical. This Z" CURE expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.
1t is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
malarious districts If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the infection, that will be excre-
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure, and
few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they
avail themselves Of the protection this remedy
affords.

PER HOUR ATTAINED.


very valuable invention in telegraphng has
been perfected by DR.. Bradley, of New York, for
which, with other Inventions all tending to the still
further development of this great science, give
description, promising, however, that the first in
strument referred to is a partial infringement of
the Morse patent. Whether in view of the great
speed which has been attained in the transmission
of messages by means of this instrument it will be
accepted by the owners of the Morse patent
mains to be seen.


Bradley's improved telegraph apparatus embraces
all the elements of the Morse instrument, together
with ingenious and simple devices for transmitting
and recording with great rapidty by means Of type
and composing sticks, operators who read by sound
having nothing new to learn in practising their
usual mode with this new instrument. Messages,
when prepared for transmission, can be communi-
Gated and legbly recorded at the rate of from eight
to twelve thousand words per hour. On short
circuit fifteen thousand have been attained. From
one thousand to two thousand five hundred is good
work on either the Morse the printing instru
ments in use, which shows large gain in favor
of that of which we are writing.


The preparation OF the messages is performed by
setting them up in type, and when thus set the
types and composing sticks containing them are
passed through the instrument, where they meet
with such appliances as cause the opening and
closing of the circuit in such order as to produce
the record at the receiving office in the most regu-
lar and mechanically accurate manner. The record
is made sheets of paper with ink, in regular

manuscript.


The inventor has also conceived and constructed
a machine for making the type, by which he pro-
duces in finished state from five to ten thousand
in an hour, each type having teeth on one edge,
either short or broad, to represent the dots and
lines of the common telegraph letters, with the
Roman letters stamped on the 'front.' thus enabling
any one to set and distribute them, even should he
not be familiar with the telegraph letters. The
record is made with ink, in zgzag lines, producing
complete fac simile of the types as they are set
in the composing sticks.


DR.. Bradley proposes to furnish fonts of type at
cheap rates to business and famili's, who can
set up their dispatches, take them to the tee-
graph Office where they will be passed through the
instrument and recorded at the place of destination
in such clear and legible characters that any one
can read them after having given little attention
to the telegraph alphabet BY these means any
two correspondents will be able to communicate
with the greatest secrecy by simply changing the
denomination of the types and forming cipher of
their own 1t may be well to state that the record
ing instrument can be constructed with four cyin-
ders on which three copies be taken, stopping
only one at time, and changing the paper IN such
alternations that the transmitting apparatus need

True to yoursclves-true to each other
true to God. What more abhorrent
vice than deception? The face covered with
smiles, and the heart rotten as a sepulchre.
The hand first binding the eyes, and then
leading you to the brink of precipice.-
The tongue beguiling your face with hon
eyed words, and sharpening its arrows to
launch at your back.


Oh, that inestimable jewel of truth
truth in the tongue, in the life. in every
manifestation of the reason. she loves the
passions of humanity.


Terrible to the young heart is the first
deception. She who looked all purity, all
angelic goodness, betrayed your trust, and
left your soul desolate. Heaven only knows
through what depths of darkness the bruis-
ed spirit struggled to joy again. But the
light has never been as pleasant, the JOY
rekiudlcd, burns not like the brighter fires
oflong ago. The tears, the sleepless nights,
the hours of keen despair, when hand
seemed ever on your throat, and dagger
at your heart-fOr what would you live
them over? Death would be more welcome.


We could bear with petulence; smile at
unkindness-the assaults of harsh temper,
or the moody silence of frOwning brow;
but treachery, faithlessness, trust betrayed
thank God that We have never yet
known the full import of those terrible
words!


Be true, then. if you would be respected.
No power on earth can change the fiat that
even the world gives the deeeiver He
may weep tears of blood. but the monu-
ments of his shame still stand to testify
against him. Once liar, always liar.
A very child can tell where deception con-
ceals itself; and casual thought. lightly
expressed ferrets it from its foul hiding
place.


Be true if you would be loved. The
heart is liked an armOry; beautiful and
harmless seem the long rows of bristling
steel-but every one of those polished
shafts may be used as an instrument of tor

tuTe.


So if you deceive the heart that beats
warmest for your love, your appreciation,
may be converted into gallery of deadly
weapons. and you will be responsible for
the mischief that results through life S long
battle. Let truth be as dear to you as the
apple of your eye; and when the blush
springs not to your check, and your tongue
falters not even at the unuttercd thought
of deception, then be sure that you are
neither fit for earth or heaven-fOr the So
ciety of men or angels.-,Su'dard.
