I From the Scientific American. J
The completion of Knieht's "American
Mechanical Dictionary" is an event in tbe
annals oi literature in this country, as it
marks tbe substantial completion or a great 1
and elaborate undertaking, in laoor on
which has extended over a period ot eigm
inn. It is difficult to realize how colossal
Is tbe task involved in tbe preparation of a I
work ot tbis description. Thousands 01 pat
ents. American and foreign, have been di
gested, lnuusiriat processes ui evvry iiniuic i
bave been examined. and the latest I :i prove-1
menu therein noted. Engineering works, I
wl.intine discoveries. and loolsolrvery ciall
bave been studied: ana nnaliv. an tills lrn- 1
meuse collection, gathered lrom the whole
dald of applied science, baa been auDjecied
tocareJul revision and condensation, ami, by
means lit lneeniously contrived systems of
Indexing rendered invaluable for purposes I
of reference and reseaieh. Add to this the I
laoora of artist and engraver, and tbere is I
little food for aiarvel that the work has oust I
I100.UOO: that It treats of ),0U0 sutyeets; eon
tains 7,400 engravings; and that Its three vol
umes include 2 MM pagea. It is more an en
cyclopaedia than a dicilinary; it is. in fact.a I
mechanical and scientific library, carried up I
to the latent dates. A Inst estimate of the!
comprehensive nature of the work, and its I
lmoortance to inventors, engineers, aim ar
tisans of everv class and in all libraries, can
only be gained by careful examination of the I
voiumes luemaaives.

FORTY, LESS ONE.
Over by the tangled thicket,
Where the level meets the hill,
Where the mealy alder-bushes
Crowd around the ruined mil'.
Where the thrushes whistle early,
Where the midges love to play,
Where the nettles tall and stinging,
Guard the vine obstructed way.
Where the tired brooklet lingers
In a quiet little pool,
Mistress Sal mo Fontinalis
Keeps a very private school.
Forty little speckled beauties
Come to learn of her each day,
How to climb the foaming rapids,
Where the flashing sunbeams play
How to navigate the eddies,
How to sink and how to rife,
How to watch for passing perils,
How to leap for pasding flics
When to play upon the surface,
When beneath the stones to hide
All the secrets of the water,
AH brook learning, true and tried:
-That's a good-for nothing bhipper;"
"That's a harmless yellow bird;"
That the flicker of the sunshine,
When the alder leaves are stirred;"
"That's the shadow of a cloudlet"
That's a squirrel come to drink;"
That look out for him, my darlings.'-
He's a fierce and hungry mink;"
That's the ripple on the water,
When the wind the wavelets stir,
That snap quick, my little hearties!
That's a lucious grasshopper."
So the elder Mistress Salmo
Gives her council, day by day
Teaching all the troutiy virtues.
All life's lessons, grave and gay.
Well she knows the flashing terror
Of King Fisher's sudden fall!
Well she knows the lurking danger
Of the barb'd hook, keen and small !
Well she tries to warn her pupils
Of all evils, low and high!
But, alas, the vain young triflers
Sometimes disobey and die!
What was that which passed so quickly,
With a blender shade Itehind?
What is thai which stirs the alders
When no ripple tells of wind?
What send Mistress Salmo darting
Underneath the stones in fear?
Crying: "Hide yourselves, my darlings!
Our worst enemy is near!"
"I am bound to understand it,"
Says one self proud speckle side;
"When I see the dangers real,
Then, if need be, I can hide.
So he waits alone and watches,
Sees the shadow pass again,
Sees a fly drop on the water
Dashes at it might and main.
"Missed It! Well," he says, "I never!
That's the worst jump made to day!
Here another comes now for it!"
Splash! He's in the air to stay!
When the alders cease to tremble,
Silence comes and sun-glints shine,
Mrs Salmo Fontinalis
Calls the roll just thirty-nine!

A BUNCH OF ROSES.
[From Cassell's Magazine].
Maggie Denne was standing on the
terrace in the rectory garden at Wit
tles'.eigh, gazing over the lovely bay,
when a young man came close . and
placed his hand over her blue eyes.
"Frank, how dare you!" she exclaim
ed, "let me go this instant!"
The hands were immediately with
drawn, and the fair girl turned round,
half angrily, to encounter the rude dis
turber of her reverie.
"Why, Algy, is it you? How did yon
get here ? I thought you were at Mot
combe. This is a surprise !" she added ;
''papa will be so glad and Frank, too.'
"And you, Maggie?" said Algy as he
shook hands with her warmly, ventur
ing npon a gentle pressure of her taper
fingers.
'Of course.I am delighted, particularly
as Jessie Hamblyn is coming to day.
You recollect her?1
Oh! perfectly; she used to be my
ideal of beauty until". He stopped.
"Until that terrible attack cost her
eye sight, you mean. Yes. indeed, she
was a lovely girl. I admire your taste,
Algy."
"I did not exactly mean that," he re
plied. "I meant "
"Never mind just now, but tell me,
like a good fellow, is that the smoke of
of the steamer over there ? If so, I must
go and tell Robert to get the pony chaise
ready."
Algy shaded his eyes from ihe glare
and bent all his powers of vision upon
the tiny cloud on the horizon.
It was indeed a fair scene upon which
his eves rested. The blu waters of the
bay were flecked with foam as the brisk
breeze met the restless sea on the flood
tide. Till now, Maggie had in vain
sought for a token of the vessel, and with
shaded eyes had watched the wide ex
expanse, at times almost despairing. But
now all doubt was removed. The black
streak grew more and more defined ; a
long trail of smoke extended far across
the blue distance.
Come along," said Maggie, "we must
tell papa and Frank. They will be as
tonished to see you. By the way, do you
eenerallv ereet vour lady friends at
Metcombe as you did me just now?
Aljjy blushed as he replied, "Of course
uot; besides, I have no particular friends
there."
Oh! Not Miss Luttrel? and Miss
Alice is it Alice Carrington? Fie
Algy, fie! what would they say to hear
you disown them thus? But here
Frank."
As she spoke her cousin, Frank Car
son, appeared. He walked slowly and
with a peculiar watchful gait, but he
turned his head neither to the right nor
left, as he approached the merry pair.
" Well, Frank, old fellow, how are you?"
exclaimed Algy heartily, as he extended
his hand.
"Why, Algy Vernon, back already
We thought you were studying medi
cine, or cutting people's legs off to keep
your hand in for surgery. Oh, you
truant"
The young men shook hands warmly.
"Have you been here long this timer'
asked Algernon.
"About a fortnight," was the reply
"Maggie's school chum is coming I am
very anxious indeed to make her ac
quaintance. I understand that she's
lovely not that her good looks matter
tome "
Algy was about to make some reply
when Maggie made him a sign not to
speak.
"Will you come and meet her, Frank?
We are going!"
"Of course
I shall be delighted to
welcome her. Ill go and get some flow
ers for her a bunch of roses will do."
As he sopke be walked quietly away.
"What did yoa mean by telegraphing
to me in that mysterious manner?" asked
Vernon.
"Frank doesn't know that Jessie if
blind now, so don t ten mm. Mie may
recover her eyesight, the doctors say.
Perhaps your skill may prove of use."
"Not much, I am afraid," said Alger
non, sighing. "But I've made the eves
my study, too. Now your eyes"
But whatever compliment he intended
to convey was cut short by Maggie's sud
den departure.
In half an hour the party were all
ready to proceed to the wharf. The pony
chaise led the way at s brisk pace, while
cart for the visitors luggage followed
more soberlv.
The steamer soon came alongside, and
Maggie's qu'ck glance at once described
her friend.
"There she is, Algy, and Barton is with
her. as usual What a kind creature she
!"
Barton recognized the party at the
same moment, and told her young mis
tress, who turned round and waved her
band. :
Jessie Hamblyn must have possessed
no ordinary share of beauty before the
fell ravages of small pox had deprived
her of sight Even now her almost classic
features were very striking, and her
open lids ata distance did not betray the
terrible trial to which she had been sub
jected. Fortunately the disease had not
marked her to any perceptible extent,
and had her eyes been spared, her beauty
would have remained almost unimpair
ed. Her tall, well formed figure was
drawn up as if in defiance of the pity
she knew was felt for her, and of many
kind expressions which her quick sense
of hearing caught and resented. At first
she had rebelled terribly against the
Will that had mercifully chastised her,
but lately she had bowed her head to the
decrees of Providence, and almost with
out a murmur.
How glad I am to see you !" she cx
claimed ! mean, to know that I am
willi you once again, dear Maggie! How
kind vou are !"
Dearest Jessie," whispered her friend,
we are all delighted that you have come.
and you are looking so well, too. Here
are two young gentlemen waiting to be
introduced ; though I think you have
met Algy Vernon before."
"Oh, yes ! I recollect Mr Vernon quite
welL We had a famous picnic at the
Glen, I think it was."
"Quite right, Miss Hamblyn. What a
memory you have !" replied Vernon as
he shook hands with her.
"This is my cousin, Frank Carson, of
whom you may have heard," continued
Maggie. ' He has brought you a bou
quet" Maggie took them from her cousin and
placed them in the blind girl's grasp.
Jessie inhaled the perfume for a few
moments, and then placed them in the
bosom of her dress. "Oh, what lovely
roses !" she cried. "Thank you so much,
Mr Carson !"
"Now, dear, let me escort you," said
Maggie. "I see your invaluable Barton
has already got your luggage ashore.
This way, dear."
"Algy, you and I must follow as we
cannot lead," said Frunk, as he took his
friends arm. "I say" he whispered.
what a beautiful voice she has, hasn t
she? Youll be falling in love, old fellow,
eh?"
Not I," replied his friend; "I'm not
equal to a goddess like Miss Hamblyn.
Besides, you know " He stopped, sud
denly, remembering Maggie's caution.
"Well, besides what ? Don't mind me."
said Frank.
"Oh, dear, no ; the fact is, I am rather
sweet on some one else, you see. blie
was delighted with those roses, lean tell
you. hat a thougli'ful fellow you are.
I neyer can do those pretty things."
"Then, Iriend Algy, take a lesson no.v
and a rose the next time."
They all drove rapidly back to the
Rectory. Mr Denne met them on the
teps.
"Welcome to Wittlesleigh," he ex
claimed in his cheery voice. "Jessie, my
dear, I am delighted to see you." Come
in ;" and pressing a fatherly kiss on her
wide forehead, he led his beautiful visi
tor into the "drawing room.
Luncheon is ready," he said, "so when
you young ladies have exchanged confi
dences we will sit down. Do not le too
long, dear," he added to his daughter.
"We shall be ready in a minute, papa,"
replied Maggie.
Scarcely, I think," said the liector,
LtuEhing. "But do not forget I break
fasted at seven this morning."
What a nice fellow your cousin must
be, Maggie! fancy his taking the trouble
to gather these lovely roses! I wish I
could see." she added with a sigh. "But
Maggie, dear, what do you think? one
doctor in London told papa that per
haps I might some day recover my
sight I do so hope he is right He
wanted to galvanize me, or something !"
"Of course he is right, dear ; he never
would have been so cruel. He could
not have held out hopes if he were not
quite sure!"
"Oh, Maggie, fancy! Just fancy being
able to see the sea, the sky, the flowers
and you, you darling, once again. But it
is too good to be true. It is quite lm
possible !" A weary sigh closed the sen
tence.
Not impossible, dear. So let us hope
for the best Hope and pray, and trust
in God's mercy."
Jessie bent down and kissed her kind
friend, and then the two girls had a
good cry" together.
Nearly two months passed away and
still the party at Wittlesleigh Eeciory
remained the same. To those of my
readers who have stayed in sweet South
Devon, I need not explain the pleasant
life which young people can, and I be
lieve do, lead in the land 01 picnics. Love
in these latitudes ripens with the straw
berries, and comes as naturally as cream;
so the young couples at the Rectory
paired off almost unconciously. Such
an arrangement in the case of Algy
Vernon and Maggie Denne was not
surprising, for they had been acquainted
from childhood. Mrs Vernon and the
late Mrs Denne had been schoolfellows.
They had never severed the friendship
thus initiated, and what was more natu
ral than that, the affection entertained
by their parents should descend to the
children? At any rate, Algy was deeply
in love with the pretty Maggie ; and she,
though not so preoccupied respecting
him. thouehther old friend very nice
indeed, and, if the truth were told, pre
fered him to all her numerous admirers.
But Frank Carson, and Jessie Ham
blyn had no such excuse. Yet the
th Devonshire air was
such as to kindle a spark, which showed
symptoms cf bursting out into a verv
decided flame indeed. Tbe train of
sympathy was laid, it required but that
spark to be applied to it, then the bar
riers of prudence would give way before
the explosion. If Algernon and Maggie
understood each other, so did Frank and
Jessie, and the numerous excursions
only served to rivet their bonds closer.
One sultry afternoon a last excursion
was planned to the Fairy Glen. The
party had been increased on this occa
sion by three couples from a neighbor
ing parish, and despite the threatening
appearance of certain huge masses of
cloud, the expedition started. The
romantic spot in which Maggie no
mean judge in these matters had
selected for the afternoon meal was one
of those lovely bits of landscape so famil
iar to many of us. A brawling stream
makes its sparkling way amidst moss
covered boulders, the wild flowers be
neath ita banks. Then gliding calmly
to an unruflled pool, it lazily creeps be
neath a picturesque bridge., through the
single arch of which ancient structure
the moor is extending its wild and un
dulating curves. And Uien the water,
secure in its pride of high birth in yonder
hills, takes no heed of the narrow pas
sage till, before it is aware, it is caught
in a rapid and hurried over the cascade
to the sea where it is lost forever. .
Such were the features of the wood
land dining room on th&t eventful day
a day never to be forgotten by any
member of that merry party.
The cloth was soon laid beside the
stream, and when all was ready full
justice was done to the al fresco meal
More than once a muttering growl or
subdued roll as heard over the hills but
the suggestion of thunder was met by
the reply that the sound was merely the
echoes of the blasting operations at the
quarries, or the rattling of the trucks on
the neighboring tramway.
The air got more and more sultry,
and even the insects seemed to sleep.
The trees whispered to each other, and
even their topmost branches waved a
gentle welcome to the scarcely felt
breeze that stirred the leaves. The
picnic party broke into groups after
dinner; the groups into pairs, each cau
tioning the others not to go too far, as
there wa3 a storm brewing. Frank and
Jessie did not wander away. Escorted
by Algernon and Maggie to a rustic
seat above the stream, close to a tall and
sheltering tree, they sat together while
the more venturesome of the party
climbed the tall rocks or wandered up
the stream, leaping from stone to stone,
where assistance and much holding of
hands was a necessity.
Oh, ye Devon streams, for what are ye
not responsible? How many happy
faces ye have mirrored in your sparkling
waters.
Frank and Jessie chatted for some
time on indifferent subjects, until at last
she sighed deeplyjtnd said half absently:
"Oh, how very sorry I shall be to leave
here! I have been so happy!" Then she
added, suddenly: "Every one has been
so very kind to me!"
"I am dreadfully sorry you roust go.
he said, with an answering sigh, and,
somehow, as he spoke, we know not how,
how does it ever happen? their hands
touched; his lingers clasped hers and
hers were not withdrawn. The train
was fired!
"Jessie, dearest Jessie," he whispered,
can you love me? Will you be my
wife?"
There was no reply, unless an almost
impreceptible pressure of the taper
lingers could be so termed. Frank took
it for asscntand benaing down he kissed
the ftce once, twice, thrice, till the
cheeks were as brilliant as the crimson
rose Jessie wore in her dress.
My own, my darling!" was all he said.
A sliarp peel of thunder passed away
unheeded as he spoke. Af:er a pause
he resumed:
"So vou do love me, Jessie! I never
thonpht you would care for me, dear."
"Indeed I do." she whispered, "why
should I not? !5ut I often wonder that
you selected tne as your companion all
these weeks, for I am so unfortunate."
Why, mv darling, how are yon un
fortunate?" and he passed his arm aronnd
her taper waist
"Because because oil! I cannot bear
to mention it; though I do not mind
now at least, not nearly so much.'' '
"But what is this terrible reason why
I should not love you, Jessie? Tell me
dearest."
"Oh, Frank! tltat is like your kind
sympathy for me. Of course, you guess.
It is because I am blind, you know!" 3
Frank recoiled as if he had been stung,
a choking ga?p escaped him, and he
could not speak for a moment
"Blind!" he repeated at length, as if
in a dream; "blind! Oh, Jessie! Soaml.
It was too true. Blind from his birth,
Frank Carson had never dreamed that
Jessie was afflicted like himself. Maggie
had never told him this, and the terrible
fact was now revealed to the lovers for
the first time. Frank's knowldge of
the ground and neighborhood in which
he had lived for years had enabled him
to keep Jessie in ignorance of bis in
firmity, which he, of course, f incietl she
was aware of.
And had it come to this after all!
Jessie seized his hand. "Ob, do not
tell me that' Frank, dear Frank, say
that you can see me! Have you never
seen me, never at all?"
She waited breathless f jr his answer.
It fell almost like a blow.
"Never!"
And this was the end of her dream of
love! She had been so very Happy to
think that one man at least had been so
kind and sympathetic; that one man
had seen her vacant eyes and scarred
face, and had loved her for herself alone.
not for her beauty and wealth. But
now the charm was snapped the gol
den bowl was broken! She bent her
head. A great warm drop fell npon her
hand, now clasped in his once more. She
started as she felt it He was suffering
too. She drew herself up, a beautiful
smile upon her face, then bending to
wards him she pressed a kiss, the first
kiss of her pure lips, upon his forehead.
"'For better, for worse, till death do
us part' dear Frank, I am yours, if you
will take me so.
" Till death do us part'" he repeated
solemnly, and he in turn was stooping to
his love when
A hot and brilliant flash of light rent
the cloud overhead, a rttling peal of
thunder followed it to earth, and Frank
and Jessie lay extended beneath the
river tree, hand in hand, to all appear
ances locked in sleep the sleep that
knows no waking.
Till death did them pari! Was this
to be their parting, on the threshold of
their lives!
Teal after peal of thunder rattled over
head, the lightning flushed around them,
the rain poured down in torrents, and
there they Liy unconscious of the ele
mental war asleep!
"Merciful heaven, have pilyon them".
It was the rector who spoke, as he and
some others of the pai ty came suddenly
upon the senseless forms beneath the
tree.
Was tiie prayer heard.' We dare not
speculate on subjects such as this, who
can tell?
The bodies were born to a cottage
close b- the light clasp of the fingers
were unloosened at length. Jessie, the
bunch of roses contrasting so with her
pallid face, was laid upon a bed, Frank
was in the next room, insensible still.
A stifled sigh first proclaimed to
Maggie Denne had be.-n answered, and
Jessie sat upright Turning to her kind
attendant, she said faintly:
"Maggie, dearest!"
Maggie, full of joy, hastened to the
bed. There was Jessie Hambly, indeed;
but it was the Jessie of old. Her eyes
were open wide and full of life!
"It is true, Maggie, darling, it is true,
and I can see you once again I can, 1
can! Look, here are my roses.there you
stand. Oh, thank heaven. I can see the
sky once more!"
She fell back, exhausted, then, rising
again, cried:
"Is it true about Frank? I love him,
he loves me, the lightning struck us
yes, but gave me sight for him. Thank
God! Where is Frank?" she inquired
after a pause.
"In the next room." said Maggie as
she wiped away her happy tears. "Oh,
Jessie! how thankful we all are! We
feared the worst for botlv!"
At this moment the rector entered
softly.
"Oh, come rn, papa, come in; darling
Jessie can see us all again. Is it not
wonderful? I am so thankful!"
"It is indeed wonderful,,' replied Mr
Denne. "And now," he said, after he
had affectionately congratulated Jessie.
"I have more good news; Frank has
recovered, and has asked for Jessie.
May he come in?"
"I will go tohim,"shesaid,risingfrom
the bed. And before they could stop
her she had hurried away to the next
room, where, lying upon a sofa, was
poor Frank Carson. She hastened to
wards him. "Oh, Frank," she cried,
dearest Frank, I am so glad." Then,
blushing rosy red, she whispered, "Till
death do us part God has given me my
eyesight once again to nurse and tend
you all my life. Dear, dear Frank!"
He said no word till, rising up, he
knelt beside the sofaand Jessie's thanks
giving and his went up to heaven to
gether. But little remains to be told. The
lovers were united before many months
had passed, Algernon and Maggie soon
followed the good ex miple set them by
Jessie and her lover. On the former
wedding day the only gift presented to
the lovely bride by her devoted husband
FranK, was a bunch of rosea.
PAPER MONEY IN VENICE.
If we invite our greenback friends to
point to a single instance in the history
of the past where paper money not
based upon coin has been held equal in
value to coin, they will point to that
spectre which was once the empress of
the seas Venice. That they are obliged
to admit is the only case they ever heard
of; and they know Venice thrived on
irredeemable paper, because the irre
deemable speakers of the Ralph Hoyt
stripe have told them so. .To dispel this
illusion if it is possible to' dispel an il
lusion from the mind of a deluded and
infatuated devotee of the greenback god
we quote the following from McLeod's
work on banking and currency, with
comments by the Adrian Times:
Venice was a small state, but gradually
became the center of an enormous com
merce; and as an inevitable consequence,
a great quantity of clipped and worn
foreign coins circulated in it brought by
the foreigners who resorted to it V ben
the practice of bills of exchange became
common, the degraded state of the cur
rency caused an intolerable inconven
ience to merchants. To obviate this, at
some subsequent time, though at what
precise period we are not informed, tne
plan was devised of the chamber of loans
receiving aeposits irom private persona.
rvery merchant deposited tnere tne
coins he received, and he was credited
with their
VALUE IN BULLION;
and the bank gave him a corresponding
number 01 its notes, payable to bearer on
demand in full weight of bullion.
As the bank alwavs pledged itself to
pay in full weight, its notes always bore
a premium as compared with the worn
and clipped coin in circulation. All
bills of exchange between mercnants
were made payable in this bank money.
The bank, however, does not seem ever
to have discounted bills upon its own ac
count and as its paper only represented
the pnee of bullion actually in 1 is colters.
it made no increase in the quantity of
currency in circulation, its only ad van
tage w:ia to save the wear and tear of the
coinage, and to insure a uniform stand

continued to enjoy great credit and
repute, until it fell, with the republic, in
17J7.

OUR PARIS LETTER
Agricultural Implements at the Exposition—
The Superiority of American
Reapers and Mowers—European Markets—
America Ahead in Printing
Presses—Marvels in Light Machinery
Kate Cameron—Gilmore's Rand.
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
HOTEL DE L' ATHENEE,
PARIS, July 6, 1878.
The United States exhibits undoubt
edly the best and most instructive col
lection of reaping and mowing machines
in the Exhibition and this arises to a
great extent from the fact that in the
east of Europe American manufacturers
have established business on so extensive
a scale that English makers are unable
to compete with them. All the great
manufacturers in the United States are
therefore well represented, not as stran
gers but as recognized suppliers of the
ever-increasing demand in the agricul
tural districts of the South of Russia,
Austria, Hungary, ic. It is not surpris
ing that in reapers and mowers the
United Suites should enjoy so great a
popularity. As much ingenuity and
skill have probably been displayed there
in tbe improvement of these implements
as in the perfection of sewing machines
and there is scarcely a crooked piece of
iron in any one of the reapers that are
on view at Paris that is not the subject
of at least one patent The American
implements have, moreover, special ad
vantages which recommend them
strongly to the purchasers where the
European trade is largest The corn-
growing districts of Hungary and Russia
correspond closely to the great grain
producing areas of the United States so
that the machines perfected for the latter
conditions are of course well suited to
the former, another point much neg
lected by a.1 but American makers of
these implements is the comfort of the
men in attendence. At best Lnghsh
reapers have a seat supported on a long
bracket on one side of the machine out
of the way of the revolving rakes but so
placed that the horses bave to be driven
in an inconvenient position. This is not
seen in American machines of any
standard type, comfort to the driver in
charge of the implement being a leading
and very necessary as well as economical
consideration. In the American ma
chines the rakes do not revolve in a fixed
plane but as they rise from the back of
the platform are gathered up into nearly
vertical position so as to be out of the
way of the driver who can therefore sit
fairly behind his horses. Leaving aside,
for the moment the consideration of
comparative ingenuity displayed by
Americans and other makers, of reaping
machines everybody ia forcibly brought
to the conclusion that the workmanship
in the former is more suitable and in
many respects far better than in tbe
latter. For example the same peculiar
skill which is shown in the construction
of American carriage wheels is Been in
the wood work of reapers especially in
the rakes and platform, the combination
of strength and lightness in which is
remarkable. Lightness in every part
indeed is a special characteristic of the
implements as compared with English
and continental machines of tbe same
class and this specialty which perhaps
was first forced upon American builders
to suit the horses of their home formers
is equally appreciated in Russia and
Hungary where a light draught is all
important to conform to the capacity of
the average horses. The special object
of the American builders appears to be
to combine strength and efficiency with
lightness and cheapness of construction
at the expense no doubt to a certain
extent of durability but apparently it
suits the American farmers to purchase
machines at a moderate price that may
wear out in a few years but not before
they have paid for themselves and many
times over and which if they were more
durable would probably become com
parati vely absolute long before they were
past service. It would Bcem as though
the American makers have succeeded in
making their European purchasers adopt
the same ideas.
In book printing the United States has
made ita way independently. As regards
the building of presses, of which there
are several exhibits, stereotype, type
casting, dec, America has paid off the
debt it owed its mother country with
interest, and the latter has frequently
adopted the invention of its oftsprings.
It is necessary only to mention the large
printing presses for newspapers with
cylindrical stereotype plates and more
recently those for endless web, as well as
automatic machines lor type casting.
On account of the great extent of the
newspaper and job printing business in
North America, inventions and improve
ments concentrate almost exclusively
upon such arrangements as may assist
these branches. No country can pro
duce printed matter as legible, and ap
parently as clear as America in spite of
the small shanks of letters. The variety
of type for job printing, especially man
uscript type in America surpasses that
of England greatly, and therefore Amer
ican and German type foundaries are in
frequent communication, especially ex
changing matrices.
Of fight machinery the United States

now be aeen working. First of all there

now being very generally adopted in
Europe. It may be seen on several of
the locomotives in English section de
partment; in the American aecuon,how
ever, it can be studied in detail and in
working, being exhibited as applied to a
luggage truck of the Chemin de Fer de
1' Ouest Near the Westinghouse air
brake ia the exhibit of the Stow Flexible
Shaft Company, of Philadelphia. This
shaft transmits rotary motion in any
direction from motive power, so that
power can be taken to the work instead
of work to the power. This invention
is particularly useful for drilling and
similar work, and whatever way the
shaft may be bent or turned, it works all
the same. The tral is attached to the
end and driven by level gearing. An
equally ingenious and useful invention
is the pneumatic boiler riveting ma
chine of Allen & Boeder, of New York.
The employment of air instead of steam
gives this machine the same qualities of
portability as the flexible shaft just men
tioned. It may be carried to its work
instead of the work being brought to it,
which in the case of boiler work would
be, of course, impossible. Jl A Fay t

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our Special Correspondent.]
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15, '78.
merely of the
sudden decapitation of Collector Arthur
and Naval Officer Cornell has subsided,
leaving the commentators tolerably well
settled as to the grounds of their approval
or disapproval Truth compels the
statement that very few have thus far
been heard from willing to volunteer
any defense of what looks like almost
anything but "Civil Service Reform,
according to the view of all but an in
significent number of those who have yet
made their verdict public. "Reformers'
have been further shocked by th
announcement of the appointment of
Alex Reed to an otfice away out in
Washington Territory. Very few have
forgotten the persistency with which
Reed was urzed on the Senate for con
firmation as Postmaster of Toledo last
winter. He was rejected each time his
name was presented, and despairing,
seemingly, of getting him confirmed in
an otlioe nearer home, he lias been ban
ished to the Western wilds. A discrim
ination of the Western over the Southern
carpet-bag officials seems to have made
an opening for a class of men who have
found it wholly impracticable to secure
such endorsement for official position
among those intimately acquainted with
them, as to induce the Senate to look on
their candidacy with any sort of favor.
The investigators have locked up and
gone home. Potter and his adherents
persisted to the last in their refusal to
hear Mr Sherman's witnesses. By them
the Secretary declared he could prove
tbe most frightful reign of terror ever
tolerated by a community professing
civilization, during the late Presidential
campaign in the two Felicianas. Mr
Sherman said he could show by them
that above 30 Republicans were made
to bite the dust in those two parishes
alone, besides numberless other outrages
only one degree less shocking. O
course they were not the kind of wit
nesses the honorable Potter and his
fellows cared to hear. It was much
more important to show the country
that Mr Sherman wrote a letter to vV eb
ber and Anderson. But upon such
hypocrisy Kellogg was about the only
witness examined since the Committee
reopened the show, and he appeared an
unwilling one throughout Next to
Potter, people here seem of the opinion
that Butler has proved the most lament
able failure of any of the patriots who
hoped to distinguish themselves by
sowing the seed of revolution. The
whole business has turned out too con
temptible, even to be called a farce. The
evil genius has never relaxed its grip
on Democracy nee it precipitated the
country into the whirlpool of civil war,
seems to still have full possesMon of the
party press. It couldn't do the work
the Republicans would have of it more
certainly, were that party's managers
directing it In their fear of Genl Grant
and their frantic efforts to kill him they
have brought him into a prominence
that may give him the nomination by
acclamation. Thus early we hear much
about Hayes' successor, here; and where
any other name is heard in that connec
tion once, I think it is no exaggeration
to say Genl Grant's is beard a dozen
times among Republicans, both "stal
wart and Administration. The men
tion of his name, even with the mercury
dangerously near' 100 in the shade
arouses a degree oi enthusiasm mat
reminds one of old "Wide Awake" times
in 1S60. There is undoubtedly a feeling
of confidence in him in an emergency,
not accorded any other man. Grant
and Blaine is the latest slate. Thurman
is a good deal talked about on the other
side. But it would start the party out
under such a load of ridicule to attempt
to match the "bloody shirt" with Thur
man's "red bandanner' that it would
break down before the half mile pole
was reached.
Th intelligence received this morning
from the Oregon hostiles has startled
every one and seems to conxirm tne
belief that Howards engagement was
only with a fragment of the Indian
force. The tenor of all the dispatches
now being received at the War Depart
ment ii to the effect that the Oregon
Indians heretofore depended upon as
friendly, have become wholly disaffected
and will cast in their lot with those
openly in arms whenever the opportu
nity offers. This is probably the case
all over the North-West, or soon will be.
tinlers we gain a decisive advantage
soon. jNot withstanding tne comment
ass'irances of the other day, this latest
news seems to have created something
like a panic in official circles.
Though we have been assured that
Mr Sherman contemplates no immediate
proclamation of resumption, the weight
of opinion is that it will have been
accomplished by Oct 1st and all of Mr
Sherman's movements seem to be taken
with a vtew of reaching that end as
speedily as possible. As Indian matters
have forged to the front, the Mexican
situation has receded temporarily. But
its possibilities for a surprise were con
sidered months ago quite equal to the
Indian question and may yet prove
MAXWELL.
Utah Letter.
CORINNE, July 14th, 1878.
Me Ed. This morning at 4 30 o'clock,
one of the latest enterprises of the West
viz, slaughtering and shipping dressed
cattle to Eastern cities, started to work
in this city, and dressed 40 head of very
fine 3 year old cattle, and finished at 2
o'clock. One car load cf which they in
tend to ship to San Francisco on trial.
If it proves satisfactory they will kill 80
or 100 head per week.
The grain crop has proved good this
year. Dr Roche has got a header at
work on his field, which cuts 20 acres
per day. Ilia land will produce 30
bushels of wheat to tbe acre, and this is
tbe Crst time it has been worked. Beat
that for dry and uncultivated land.
Corinne nulls are running on wheat
costing 00c per bushel, and run out
1000 bushels per day.
Sickness prevails among the young
children, much of it is scarlet fever.
Emigration is very brisk, upwards of
200 trains have passed here this spring
and summer, coming from Missouri,
Kansas and Iowa, (they had better stay
at home). The majority are going to
Oregon, some to Washington and Mon
tana. The weather ia very hot, 90 in the
hade. But the nights come with a very
pleasant breeze from the Salt Lake.
