KJfOWN.
From the IIj1! Spriugs Rep. rter.
In an humble tenement, near tlie
Miesifisifipi find Tennessee Railroad
Depot, hard by Main street, lives
Wm. Robertson, a. poor blacksmith
Jo is a Scotchman. Ilia invention
is si-j markallo ani; ihe circunjnlances
whioli prompted it are . vcnliar,
we propose to give a brief ske-cli I
of h:s life, with a description of his
... i
automatic wonder.
William Robertson was born near
Markinch, Scotland. He is now
thirty-Bix years of o.rje. The death
of his Tatlicr when e was quite
youmr, caused him to e hired to a
fanner, until ho had reiclied hi-i six
teenth year. At LiehUime he was
apprenticed to a blacksmith (or six
years. His term havings expired lie
made pn paration to Ieavihis native
land and seek his fortine in the
West.- Ho procured tht highest
letters of commendation froi his em
ployers, and started for the banarlas,
where he ariived during t severe
money crisis, and ho ou!d jret but
small wages. Xotwilhitandiku; this
he went to work eart.cstly in the
chops of the Grand Truik Railwa.".
whilo there he invented and moulded
the ''Railway Frog." Ills now uni
vcrrally used in rcpJacinr, wrecked
trains. Robertsou competed his
model and exhibited its tenderful
advantages to the master echanio
who stole the model atd hal it pat
ented. He made a vast fortine out
of it, never giving Robertson V cent.
Some two years afterward I poor
pi inter confided to Robertsorl tliat
he had certain ideas which, iS:om
bincd with machinery, would take
the most invaluable job printing iV-vs.
Robertson readily caught the ii-a?
and immediately began to reoVe
them to machinery. In three mon'
time it was a glorious success. T
printer agreed to patent it and divi
the caruings with the mechanic, b
after he procured the paknt in h
own namohe never came near Robcr
son an) more.
.After the war, Robertson removed
to Water Valley, where he obtained
employment in the shops of the Mia
girippi Central Railroad company.
II is s-kill as a mechanic Boon gained
him promotion aud ha ranked high
with bis new employers. Some four
years after this he entered Ihfl shops
of the Mooilo and Ohio Railroad
company at Jackson, Tenn. Hia
genius served iiiin again a good par
pose, as .he was again promoted to
the head of his department. Hav
ing been cheated out of both the
glory tod profit of two important
inventions he concluded not to invent
anything more that would attract man,
bat to devote his genius to the inven
tion of something that would please
the children. Some simple thing
lhat would not make such a noise
as to attract money-loving meo'a at-
tontioj.Hia automatic natural mo-

lie expected nothing from his jrenius
at all. Hitherto a!l of his efforts
had brought fame and fortune to
others he was Btill a poor obscure
bhv ksmith,
These wero his thoughts when ho
entered the .-Vein phi 9 Exposition of
last year and there he saw for the
first time I5erp;man's automaton vil
lage, winch lias received the notcc
of the press and people throughout
America. It lias been held up as the
most wonderful pieco of mechanism
ever invented. Robertson paid
twenty-five cents --to ?co it. He
laughed at it; paid there -was not a
single character that reprvsentel nat
ural motion. Yet thoiands of peo
plo crowded the plac, and said it
was wonderful. TIkb wonder, that
Robertson saw, was vast amount
ofmonpj; Voe proprietors were -mailt
jn!r. fir returned to lliis humble home
a changed man. Ho thought of
nothing e'so but Uergman's automa
ton village, and here he could
eclipse it. In.liH sleep ho dreamed
lhat ho had eclipsed it. Ho awoke
witli tho determination to begin
the work. Doing poor ho had
to work in tho Railroad SIjods
during the day and work on
the automaton at night, His bread
and that of his faini!y depended on
his daily labor. In seven months
from the night of I113 dream he had
completed to his satisfaction the au
tomaton inuiistnat village now on
exhibition in the Memphis Exposi
lion. It is far superior to Rergman's
invention in every respect. It re
quired Bergman seventeen years to
complete his, and Robertson finished
a far moro difficult mechanical tri
umph iu seven months. He exhib
ited at the Louisville Exposition and
at tho Mississippi State Fair, and it
was tho admiration of all the visi
tors.
We will now give a discription of
THE MACHINE.
It is constructed on a table 3 feet
wiJe by 8 feet, which rises 3 feet in
height. It represents the "Progress
of Civilization on" in the Railway,
,-teaiuboat, Velocipede, Steam mech
anism. Sewing machine, and other
iiturovements in incchanfcin. On
the left end ot the village is a Rail
way with a train complete, in perfect
motion on it. The engine, tender,
mail car iind pass, nger coaches are
in the train. As it nears the station
tho engineer pulls the steam-brake,
the fireman rings tho bell, the brakes-
:.ian turns tho brakes, and the pas-
ngers put their head out of the
indows, and the conductor steps
on tho platform and waits until
t train stops. In a moment be
8 his hand for it to start, tbo bell
is oV.nded by toe tircnian, me engineer
Dn tho steam and the splendid
rain moves on as before. Par-
alel st.itli tho railway is a coach
road,Upoa which a horse, in the
most I oral motion can be seen trot
ting aVg, drawing the coach after
biin. V the footway appears a maa
on a flocipcde, ia full motion.
Just ab this highway ia a steep
hill, npol rLich is located a pretty
cottage m its surroundiegs, There
is a path leading to it from toe

"How are you. Pecb ?" said old
Mcrriweathcr, as Peebles walked in,
as white, as a piece of chalk and trem
bling as if lie had swallowed a cou
densed earthquake.
Peebles was afraid to answer, be
cause lio wasu t sure about that
speech. He knew he had to keep his
grip on it while he had it there, or it
would slip away from him quicker
than a greased eel through an augur
hole. So he blurted right cut:
'Mfr. Merriweather ?ir: Perhaps
it may not be unknown to you that
during an extended period of come
five years I have been busily engaged
in the prosecution of a commercial
enterprise?'
'Is that so, and keepin it a secret
all the timo, while I thoght you was
tending htore. . Will, by Geoige

'A wicliancc?' aeked old Merrl

last word, os if it was his only chance,
and went on: '
'In the hopo that someday I might
enter wedlock, and bestow my earth

call my own. I hove been a lonely
man, sir, and have fell it is not good
for a man to bo alone, therefore '
'Neither is it Peebles, and I'm all-

'Air. Mcrriweathcr, sir' said Peebles,
in despairing confusion, raising his
voice to a yell, 'it may not bo un-

been engaged to cn er wedlock, and
bestow all my commercial enterprise

Oh! Peebles, vou talk as widly as
a jackass.' I never paw a more first
class idiot in the whole courso of my
life. What's the matter with you
anyhow?' ,
'Mr Merriweather, sir,' said Peebles,
in on agony of bewilderment, 'it may
not be unknown to you tl at you pros
eence a lonely tran who is not good
for a commercial period of wedlock
for somo five years, but '
"See here, Mr. Peebles, you're drunk,
and if you don't believe bettor than
that you'd better leave. If you don't
I'll chuck you out, or I'm a Dutch
man.'
'Mr. Merriweather, sir,' said Pee
bles, frantic with dirpaii , 'it may be
unknown that my earthly possessions
are engaged to enter wedlock five
years with a sufficiently lonely man
who is not good for commercial main

'The bloody duso he isn't, i Now
you jus' g't up and git -olo ho., or
I'll kneck what little brains out of
you that you've got left.'
W ith that old Merriweather took
Peebles by the collar and shot him
into tho street as if ho had just run
against a locomotive going at tho rate
of foriy miles au hour. Before old
Mcn iweat'ier had a chance to shut the
front door, Peebles had collected hi?
leg and one thing and another that
were lying around on the pavement,
aud arranged himself in a vertical
position, and yelled out:
'Mr. Merriweather Sir It may not
be known to you which made the
old man so savagely mad that he went
out and sot a bull terrier on Peebles
who went home half a pound lighter
while Merriweather asserts to this day
that they had to draw all the dog's
teeth to get the flesh out of his mouth,
for he lmd an awful holt for such a
small animile.' , Jack McCanx.

ho felt tho operation of the stone In a
prolonged throb from the wrlt, al
most to tho elbow, and in a burning

touch the hand of tho wounded arm
was much warmer than the other

The application was made about
8 o'clock, p. in., and the stono

Eleven hundred applications of

Tho proprieties or constituents of the

Attaching a Menagerie. .
When Jones' Jlcnngcrie wa3 in
Millersburg the last time, the pro
prietor wouldn't pay h'n bill, for ad
vertising in the Morning Argus, and
so the editor attached the cage con
taining the hyena. Ihe Sheriff se
cured the cage ond brought it lound
to the Argus office, where it remains
ed for several' weeks. The bill
amounted to fifteen dollars ; and as
the animal ate two dollars' worth of
beef every day for four weeks, the
omount of profit in thai particular
form of collecting tho debt-did not
seem to be encouragingly large.
One afternoon tho hyena bioke looso
and nearly chewed up the foreman,
while the editor saved himself only
by suddenly climbing out on the roof.
The hyena tore around through that
sanctum. Upsetting typo, rolling in
printer's ink, and feeding himself
with poetry, and incendiary cditorrald
on Cuba for four davs, during wLich
the publication of the Argua was sus
pended, and tho editor remained on
the roof thinking solemnly about
things. Finally, tho Sheriff p'aced a
ladder against the building aod un
dertook to destroy iho hyena with a
phot-gun. He fired eighty-seven
times before mnicting a mortal
wound, and when, at lust, the edito
rial crops returned the room lcoked
as if battle tho of Waterloo, and three
or four skirm'shes had been fought
in it- Trobably no hyena was ever
buried with more literatrre in i's
stomach than lhat hyena of Jones'
bad : and
