I desire to give your readers a par tial description of areoent invention of a ateam eneine by a mecaanic of our town, which bids fair to supersede everv steam engine now in use. The inventor. Mr. Smith, is a ingenious German mechanic The advantages he claims over the ordinary one is the con tinuous application of the expansive force of steam, utilizing au us power. Then tne mocnan cai Bimpiicy oi con struction no steam-chest, no piston, no crank. The motion la direct on the main shaft.

A slight move of a lever, and the motion is re vera ed. and awav It eoes on the other tack. Triumph For Tllden. N. Y. Tjibuue. Mr. Randall's nomination for Speak er of the House oi Representatives is without doubt, a triumph of the Til- den element in the Democratic party, and a real reinforcement for Mr. Til- den himself. Whether the latter had much to do with the contest or not, Mr. Randall will be iu a position during the next two years to be a powerful friend to the next Democratic candidate tor the Presidency, and there is little question that the new Speaker holds amicable relations with the Demo cratic CUimaut.

The good people of Lexington a e very much excited over a scandal in high life in their midst, which has cul minated in a suit for abduction, seduc tion and breach of promise, with danir ages laid at $25,000. Miss Sallie Hill- yard, of Lexington, a very handsome cirl of aome seventeen years, had re oeived some marked attentions from her cousin, Alfred T. Hargraves. Some time since he sent her to Char loitsville, Ya., and followed himself in a few weeks, from thence he carried her to St. Louis, and to Texas. It ap pears that another young man was travelling with them, and in Texas, gave this young man f 25 and sent him with Miss Hillyard to St. corns, tewing them that he would follow in a few days. They went to St. Louis but Har graves didn't, and it took but a few das for them to get out of money. The young man who had charge of the girl wrote home and got some money; and after pavine expenses they had enough left to get to Greensboro. From there the young man walked nome.ana money was sent to the girl, who, after many trials and tribulations arrived at home, and has brought suit against Mr. Hargraves. The fact that the par ties belong to one of the best and most wealthy families in the county gives it considerable notoriaty. The best coun sel in the Statehas been employed on both s des, and a bitter fight may be expected . Trouble lu a Graveyard. Co respondence of the News. Rowan Co., March 14. We have a very singular circumstance to write you that took place at Liberty Church in Mogaa's township, last Tuesday, the 11-th. In the past two years there has been a new Methodist church built on the Stokes Ferry road, one mile and a quarter from Salisbury, and last fall the trustees bought a plat of ground for a graveyard; after it had been cleared off, it was then made known that all persons who desired to bury their dead they were at liberty to do so. Last Monday Iaac Goodman's little inlaut died, only six moruhs and three days old.and he desired to have it buried in the graveyard at Liberty, for two reasons: 1st. that it was a church graveyard and, second, that he had furnished a lot of timber to build the church. So Mr. Goodman sent to the trustees of the church, and two of them selected a spot to dia: the crave, . At 3 o'clock, the hour aoDointed tn bury, the corps came, and 40 or 50 peo ple were present when Joe Eagle, a member ot the church and tke same man that had .proclaimed it a free buiy- mg ground to all, then and there for bid Mr. Goodman to bury his infant there, declaring that if he that he (Eagle) would dig it up and remove it. which caused the greatest excitement that has ever been seen or known in this county. We do not believe there was a half a dozan persons but what was weeping:, praying, or shoutinc. There was a heavy thunder cloud gain ing, the people dispersed, and the little corpse was takan to a neighbor's house and there kept over night and ouried in another graveyard next dav at 10 o'clock, the grave, at Liberty is still open, and is a memorial against that bold bad man whs was so enrao-en1 that he looked more like a demon than human. With clenched tiaLs. and black and pale in bis face with mad ness, he spoke with such rage and lorce that he was heard from a auarter to a half of a mile. Now this bad man is a great boaster of h is rfihVion ha , has claimed many a time that he was itfcedo' ma of old, "as for him and his house they wi'l serve the Lord, let others do as they may." Heaven save the man, for I have never hcai-H i.f Jcshua forbidding the burial of a little infant; or have we ever heard from the word of God that Joshua had a pair of steelyards that laws of his country and soM t h;a At the Capital.

Whyte, the new chairman of the committee on printing, moved to print 3,000 copies. Gov. Whyte said it was the best message that ever came from a Republican President, and he was in favor of disseminating it.

The Chicago Times announces that in a Presidential contest between John Sherman and Hendricks, Blaine and Thurman, it would support the Repub licans, but that as between Tilden and Grant it would infinitely prefer Tilden. This is what is styled "independence." Freely admitting the Times' wonderful and even profligate enterprise, and also conceding all it claims in the way ot circulation, we do not believe it could inluence a thousand votes in the next Presidential contest.

The Soutrern Students' Hand book. This contribution to our School Literature differs from all the so called ''Southern Speakers" heretofore print ed, in this: that its matter is exclu sively of Southern origin. But it makes no attempt at a complete survey of Southern oratory atd literature, its chief aim beSng to repressnt, as fully as circumstances permit, the "New South" in oratory, dialectic, poetry and general literature, and omitting the hackneyed pieces which for more than half a century have done duty iu all the Readers and Speakers in the land, as representative of the "Old South," thus presenting to our Schools a fresh and interesting compilation, illustrative of Southern lile, sentiment and thought in their best phases, during the excit ing period through which the States have recently passed. For sale by Alfred Williams & Co. Accompanying the President's mes sage are estimates from the Secretary of the Treasury of the money needed for the army and the legislative, execu tive and judicial braoches of the gov ernment, the same as those submitted as the opening of the last session, with the exception of the items provided for at that session. The last Congress made provision for the Military Acad emy at West Point, and for fortifica tions and argument. This leaves, ac cording to the vstimates, $28,340,500 yet to be appropriated for the support and maintenance of that branch. None of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriations were provided for even iu part. The estimate for these ex penses is $16,520,601.91. To these ap propriations are also to be added the item for court expenses, which is gen erally placed in the sundry civil bill, but which was left out of that bill at the last session. The estimate for these expenses is $3,000,000. THE ELECTION LAW. Leading Democrats of both houses have concurred in the declaration that they will be satisfied to retain the pro vision in the election laws for the ap pointment of supervisors of eleetion of the authority for the appointment of deputy marshals with the power to ar rest is struck out. BLACKBURN SERENADED. The serenade to Mr. Blackbura to night was an elegant affair, and great euthusiasm prevailed. Tbe gallant Kontuckian has not suffered by his de feat. ABOUT ADJOl KNMENT. I asked a member of the House what he thought would be the lengt h of the session, and he said not over six weeks. A senator soon afterwards remarked that Congress could get through in three wf eks. My own judgment is that no cne knows anything aboat it. SENATOR VANCE. Ex-Governor Vance. Ashe passed up the aisle to his saat after receiving tbe finishing touch to make him a Uni ted States Senator, numerous compli mentary remarks were made about him. One of the ablest and clearest Ihinkiug members of the Washington bureau of correspondents said : Vances genius wit and statesmanly ability will soon raise him high on the roll of distinction among the great men of the present age. VANCE AND RANSOM. The old Noith State may well feel proud of her Ransom and Vance as able representatives in the highest branch of the National Legislature. As an appreciation of their north as states men they have been honored by re cognition on the most important com mittees in the Senate. Ransom chair man of the committee on railroads and also serves on Commerce, Printing and Library Committees. Vance chairman of committee on Enrolled Bills and member of the Naval Privileges and Elections and District of Columbia committees. Ransom is regarded as the leading Senator from tbe South. He would have been on the Judiciary committee but yielded to his friend Lamar. VANCE, SCALES AND OTHER GENERALS. When the members from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina were sworn in we noticed as they stood in line in front of the Speaker three brigadiers and one full general. On the right flank stood Gen. Vance, on the left, old Joe John son, in the centre, Hunton, Scales and three Colonels and not one private. . WHO 18 THE QUIET MAJN AT THE JSASi DOOR ? Before the hour for the call of mem bers there sat a man near the east door, a few seats from the aisle, who looked lonely and quiet, but bore an air of dig nity that commanded attention from the reporters gallery. The word soon passed around, who is the man of rotund form, iron gray whiskers and rather bald head ? Is he a member, said one. I guess he is, was the reply. No one could place him, either by name or State. At last, when North Carolina was reached, he answered to the name of r. f. "arm FIELD. "Ah" says Copeland, of the Brook lyn Eagle, "tha'.'s the man that beat Robbins, there is something in him." Ramsdal. of the Philadelphia Times says: "I'll bet he is a good one; look at that fine head there is plenty ( f business in tbat cranium of a fine qu&l- Wholesale Store. Messrs.
