Distress iter eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, " all gone feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregn- . larity of tbe bowels, are DlStreSS some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does . not get wen of Itself. It baling requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsa parilla, which acts gently, yet sorely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus Sick overcoming the local symp- Uaj.-i.tt toms removes the sympa-"UCil thetie effects of tbe disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. -I have been troubled with dyspepsia. X had but little appetite, and what I did eat Uo,i distressed me, or did me nea" little good. In an hour bum after eating I would expe rience a f aintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of, a painter, and from being more or less shut np in a Sour room with fresh paint. Last . . spring I took Hood's Sarsa- StOITiaCn rflla took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good.

Wild animals were plenty wolves and bears and deer and panthers. We did all our own work, spinning, knitting, .weaving, tailoring, every thing but shoe-making. I was a very 'capable' girl. There was little that I couldn't do, and though I was fond of Eben, I was very independent. Women were scarce, and were valued accordingly, and I had just as good a time as I cared to have. Plenty of work to do; baking, brewing, dyeing. Father's clothes, all our dresses, din ners for troops of farm bands in sum mer time. Plenty of fun, too; bees and parties and singing schools and straw rides. More beaux than I could count. I didn't want to give it all up and marry and settle down. I told Eben I'd have him some time, and thought he ought to be contented, though I'd kept him off and on for five years. I was five-arid- twenty, big and strong, with black eyes and kinky black hair, and cheeks like peaches. A beauty, they called me. All I had to do, If I wanted to settle, was to say 'Yes' to any one of twenty. was the sort of wife they wanted there, and I knew it. So it seemed to me Ebenezer had no business to be impatient. I'd said I'd have him some time; that should have been enough. He courted bard. for he was in earnest. He was al ways bothering, and I don't call my self an angel. It put me out of tem per. One Sunday night, he had come over early, and he'd been staring at me all the evening. I was spinning. No need of it particularly, but it kept him from talking. I sat in the sit ting room, though we might have had the parlor, pretending that work pressed., It was as dark as Egypt out of doors ; neither stars nor moon, and the snow a foot deep; but the big wood-fire blazed on the hearth, and we naa lots of lamps and candles. About nine o'clock, the children went up-stairs. About ten. mother took a amp and went off, and father smoked out his pipe and followed. We were alone, Eben and I; and that minute, what did he do. but come over to where I sat, kneel down beside me, with his arm about my waist, and say: 'Peggy Piggot, what do you think I'm made off I've been courting you five years to-night. When will you marry met' I pushed him away. 'Dear me, said I, 'when I'm ready to be a married woman, good and ready, too, and that time hasn't come yet. Everybody says that courting days are twice as pleasant as married life, and I believe what everybody says must be true. There I I won't be kissed. Get up.' He got up and sat down in ma's rocking chair. 'You don't make my courting days over pleasant, ne Baid. 'and I want to settle down. TPe're neither of us very young I'm thirty and you are twentyfive. Do stop spinning F Oh, yes; I'm an old maid,' said I 'You'd better go and find some girl in her teens, don't mind me, I have plenty of cbauces when I choose to take them, 'Peggy, you know how dearly love you,' he said. 'I never look at another girl, but I don't like to be made a laughing stock of, to be jilted after all, pertiaps, for you are a flirt as you know well, Peggy.' Now I was fond of Ebenezer. At heart I did not believe bis equal was to be found west of the Rocky Moun tains, but I was not to be forced into making myself cheap. My idea was that a man values more what is hard est to get. I went on spinning as if life depended on it. 'It's according to the way you be have,' I said, ' whether I jilt you or not, remember that. 'I behave well enough, I'm sure too well, said Eben. 'I care for no one else.- I come five miles to see you every night, horse or no horse., I work hard. I've built a pretty home for you; I'm ready to furnish it, and I put by all I can. I do all I can.' 'You really do toomuch,' said I, 'Don't be so very economical for my sake. You know I have a home rN rr"4f, r-Vr-i f ----- , It was hateful of me, but Eben had brought it on himself, by being so ready to coax ne into good nature again when I was cross. He had never resented anything before. This time I'd gone too far. He just got up, took his lantern from the corner and lit it at the fire; put his bat on bis head and went to the door. Then, without so much as a" good bye, he shut it after him. I laughed. I expected thai he'd come back to beg pardon in a minute, but I heard bis steps crushing away through the snow until the sound died out; he was not coming back ; I bad done it, this time. I ran to the window and saw far away the lieht from his lan tern fading into a little speck of red. and all my pride aud vanity and sausiness seemed to die within me. What if Eben never should come back! It looked like it. A thing was seldom lightly done with him. And if he bad gone, I could marry if liked. I bad my choice Doctor Crane and Lawyer Lynn, the hand some music teacher and organist at Tallahee, and either of tbe three clerks at the store. 'Ricb old men with forty cows to milk,' and 'poor young men with pockets lined with silk ;' but you see I didn't love one of them, and I did love Ebenezer. I tried to thiuk why. for there was no denying that he was lean and lank and had red hair. I couldn't give myself any answer! Somehow he was my choice. He wasn't rich, and he wasn't handsome, but the though that he would never come back again nearly broke my heart. First I cried and then I want ed to beat myself for doing as I'd done. I gave the wheel a push that overset it and sat down before the fire, in mother's rocking chair, with my elbows on my knees, and my chin in my hands. The pan of boiled chestnuts was resting on tbe hearth. I'd meant to offer them and some apples and cake before he went off. I'd really intended to have a good time, but the old boy was in me, tempting me, and I'd spun, without a word hardly, all that evening. Queer spells like that come to folks, you know, sometimes. And he hadn't been cross j he'd played with the children and told them conundrums, and agreed with father about politics, and listened to mother's descriptions of the style she used to live in when she was a girl. He'd given me a lot of candy and he'd whispered all sorts of sweet things in my ear, and there I'd gone and packed him off without a good word or a mouthful to eat, with a nasty speech for him to think over. 'Oh, Eben,' said I, 'what did I do it fori' It was cold, winter weather, but I grew hot with my thoughts. I shoved up the window to cool my face, for I'd never felt so in my life, except once, when I had a fever. Tbe marks of Eben'8 feet going away from me were plainly to be seen, where the light from the room fell out on the packed snow. Beyond, all was dark ness; the sky dark; the bare tree branches blacker lines on its dark ness. The wind was rising; I heard it moan, but I heard another sound also, that made my blood run cold. A low, long, dreadful sound that I knew only too well. The howling of a pack of wolves. The weather had been cold and ev ery thing frozen of late. The wolves were fierce with hunger. Tbe wind brought their voices down toward me. I knew which way the wind blew. Eben had gone that way. He hadn't a pistol ; he hadn't even a stick ; and the wolves had killed more than one man, on hungry winter nights, on Hawkleigh Acres. Had I been kind, had he sat with me later, the beasts would have pass ed on; buLhe had just gone out to meet tnem. Plundering oa, angry and thinking only of me, he would meet them, and then I gave a shriek as I thought what would happen. Then I made ud my mind to save him if I could, and I ran to the hearth. A good, long brand I bad only put on a while before was blazing at one end like a torch, and father's pistols were on the wall and always loaded. I buckled the belt around my waist, stuck them both into it, seized my torch and only stopped to shut the window and pull to the door, for the wolves might come that way. Then away I went, led on by the black holes on the white snow where Eben's feet had been set on toward Hawk leigh Acres. The howling of tbe wolves grew louder, nearer I heard a man's voice, now I saw a little gleam of red light. and now I was in the midst of it. A great crowd of the lean, famished beasts pressing down upon one man. who faced them and still kept them a little at bay by tbe swinging lantern with which he flashed the light in their eyes as he walked backward. It was Eben. -1 was at bis side in a moment. flourished the blazing log over , my head, and showered the sparks "to ward the beasts. For a moment they were held in check by it. Eben turned. -; , 'Great Powers I , You here, Peggy t he cried v But I answered with shriek cf: no time for words. We dared not turn our backs. Facing the horrible creatures bow many I shall never know we fought our way backward through the deep snow, firing among them, and flinging the fiery sparks into their red eyes. One or two dropped, but the rest kept on, angrier and more determined than before, until we stumbled and nearly fell over the edge of the old porch at home, burst the door open, and dash ed the burning brand in the face of the beast who strove to follow us, slammed it to, and were safe. We heard tbe fiends bowling out side, but the bolts were strong, and soon they rushed. away to tbe chick en coops and the sheep-fold, where they found easier prey than we bad been. Nobody bad been awfekened. The fire burned on the hearth, the lamp was alight, there lay my spinning wheel on its side. Had it really all happened, and was it all overt I was not a girl who often cried, but the thought of what might have been the end of it set me sobbing. I looked at Eben, pale and panting. with a great scratch on his hand that a wolf had given him with its teeth, and I forgot all my airs, and fairly threw my arms about his neck. Oh I Eben, darling,' I cried ; 'what should I have done without you?' 'You do care for me, then?' he said ; and he sat down in the rocking-chair, and took me on his knee, as if I'd been a little child. We sat tbero until the gray dawn broke, and then he went away ; and I never teased him again, and a hap pier couple never lived, I think, than he and I. At least, I never knew one. N. Y. Ledger. Domestic Uses of Ammonia. Scientific .American. A little ammonia in tepid water will soften and cleanse tbe skin. Spirits of ammonia will often re- ieve a severe headache. Door plates should be cleansed by rubbing with a cloth wet in ammonia and water. If the color has been taken out of silks by fruit stains, ammonia will usually restore the color. To brighten carpets, wipe them with warm water in which has been poured a few drops of ammonia. One or two tablespoonfuls of am monia added to a pail of water will clean windows better than soap. A few drops in a cupful of warm water, applied carefully, will remove spots from paintings and chromoes. Grease spots may be taken out with weak ammonia in water; lay soft white paper over, and Iron with a hot iron. When acid of any kind gets on clothing, spirits of ammonia will kill it. Apply chloroform to restore the color. Keep nickel, silver ornaments, and mounts bright by rubbing with wool en cloth saturated in spirits of am monia. Old brass may be cleaned to look like new by pouring strong ammonia on it, and scrubbing with a scrub brush ; rinse in clear water. A tablespoonf ul of ammonia in a gallon of warm water will often re store colors in carpets; it will also remove whitewash from them. Yellow stains left by sewing ma chine oil, on white, may be removed by rubbing tbe spot with a cloth wet with ammonia, before washing with soap. Equal parts of ammonia and tur pentine will take paint out of clothing. even if it be bard and dry. Saturate the spot as often as necessary, and wash out in soap suds. Put a teaspoonfulof ammonia in a quart of water, wash your brushes and con.ba in this, and all grease and dirt will disappear. Rinse, shake and dry in the sun or by the fire. If those who pernpire freely would use a little ammonia in tbe water they bathe in every day, it would keep their flesh clean and sweet, do ing away with any disagreeable odor. Flannels and blankets may be soak ed in a pail of water containing one tablespoonf ul of ammonia and a little suds. Bub as little as possible, and they will be white and clean and will not shrink. - One teaepoonful of ammonia to a teacupful of water will clean cold or silver jewelry ; a few drops of clear aqua ammonia rubbed on the under side of diamonds will clean them im mediately, making them very brU- llttUt.

The last two issues of tbe Progres sive Farmer contained criticisms on Senator Vance for his attitude towards the Sub-Treasury Bill. The criti-4 cisms of tbe Progressive Farmer have not met with public favor. . Tbe newspapers of the State have almost unanimously spoken adversely on the subjedt, and as the Prot essive Farm er circulates largely in this section of the State we deem it our duty to say something on this important subject. As we have before stated in this paper the Sub -Treasury Bill was framed by the Alliance principally to call attention to the condition of agriculture in the United States to the end that some relief might be had. However, tbe bill has won many en thusiastic supporters, and to look at it only on one side it seems to offer the relief farmers want. But any .wise man must see that it involves some of the greatest-questions of political science that have ever perplexed a statesman. It involves the question of constitutionality and this iaaques tion of vital importance. No measure involving these questions should be hastily considered. The Sub Treasury Bill is a new measure and has only been before the public a short time. ublic sentiment has not crystalized on the subject. Citizens inside and outside the Alliance are divided as to its practicability. But the matter is being discussed fairly by all and in due time we will know the popular verdict. In the meantime it behooves the advocates of the measure not to be unreasonable. Senator Vance has carefully consid ered the bill in reference to its effect upon the welfare of bis constituents and he has expressed his opinion in plain words and he does not think it would benefit the farmer if it should become a law. Senator Vance has al ways been a friend of the people and he has not turned against them now in his old age. In opposing the Sub Treasury bill he is doing what he con siders is for the best interests of the farmers. We advise our readers who are supporters of the Sub Treasury bill to suspend their judgment over Senator Vance until the bill is further discussed and better understood by the public. It may be that ire will all agree with Senator Vance after mature consideration. It is often argued that if distillery warehouses, etc., are constitutional why not the Sub-Treasury billt But it must be remembered that Senator Vance is and has al ways been opposed to these other unconstitutional meas ures, and that these other unconsti tutional measures were enacted by the Republican party. No man in tbe Senate of tbe United States has worked harder to relieve the farmeas from the burdens of tax ation than Senator Vance. He is the leading tariff debater in Congress to day. ' He fights for tbe people in tbe Senate during the day and at night writes articles for reviews .magazines, and newspapers illustrating the evil effects of the tariff. He has grown gray and worn out one eye in the service of the people and the people are not going back on bim now, unless they have gone crazy and lost all sense of gratitude. Of coutu" we don't expect every body to agree with Senator Vance about everything, but we do expect them to have good sense enough not to condemn him until it is certain that he has done wrong. Let us keep cool on the Sub-Treas ury bill untilthe public better under stands its merits and demerits. If all publio servants were as true to tbe people as Senator Vance, the farmers of the country would be pros perous and Have nothing of which to complain. MURDERED BY HIGHWAYMEN. An Inoffensive Citizen Assaulted, Killed and Robbed on the Highway Near Wilmington. From the Star of 17th inst. The community was shocked yes terday morning by intelligence re ceived of tbe murder of Mr. Nathan Fails, an inoffensive white man who lived with his family on Masonboro Sound, a few miles from Wilming ton. Mr. George Alford, a neighbor. was first to discover tbe body. He passed Mr. Fails place about- day light yesterday morning on bis way to bis fishing boat, and seeing the mule and cart standing at the gate. looked into the cart and saw the bedy of the murdered man. Mr. Fails' family were called up and a messen ger was at once sent to the city to no tify the county authorities. Coroner Jacobs went out and summoned a ju ry and made an examination of the body. It was found that Mr. Fails han been shot in the top of the head, it is supposed while he was asleep, with his head resting on the side of the cart. His pockets had been ri fled, and one pocket of his pants had been cut out and the other turned in side out. The murderer is supposed to have robbed the body of seven or eight dollars. Mr. Fails came to the city TFednes- day with a cart load of fish to sell. He had, his family say, four dollars with him, and it is known that he sold bis fish tor three dollars. It was late in the afternoon when the unfor tunate man left for home, and from indications he was murdered and robbed between eightand nine o'clock, just beyond the city. It is believed that the murder was committed by some of the colored highwaymen whose depredations have so alarmed eur country people and wbcwo continued presence has been a reproach to the county author itles. Mr. Fails was about seventy years of age, good natured, harmless old man, small of stature and of slight build. How Grady Got an Advertisement. Borne (Oa.) Tribune. Yeais ago, when Henry Grady was struggling to bring the Rome Com mercial Into front ranks, he called one day and asked the Rounsaville Bros, for an advertisement. J. W.

Youth's Companion. The experienced farmer can make a reasonably correct estimate of tbe value of land after a short examina tion of it. He observes carefully certain signs which indicate fertility or barrenness of soil. Some of these indications are given in an article recently published by the chief of the Agricultural College at Downton, England . They consti tute a guide by which even the inex perienced agriculturist may judge with some degree of confidence of the productiveness of land. Black indicates barren soil, as the color is in most cases caused by an excess of vegetable matter or peat. White soil is also poor, as it is thin and chalky, or contains white sand near the surface. Yellow also, whether dark or light, light gray, blue, a piebald or variega ted color are indicative of pov erty. Good soil should be from twelve to eighteen inches deep. A clearly cut furrow, or a footprint made when the soil is moist, which shows clear.sharp edges and the nail marks, indicates tenacity, a necessary quality in pro ductive soil. In loamy soil tbe foot print is indistinct, the edges crumble away. The herbage, which of one kind or another usually covers land, must be taken into consideration. The quali ty and quantity of this growth is a sure indication of the yielding power of the soil. Plenty of timber is a favorable sign. Large spreading oaks, elms, mulberry, walnut, apple and quince trees grow only in good sou. A vig orous grow th of asb, sycamore and chestnut indicates a very good soil. Larches grow on barren uplands and soil which can hardly be put to any other use. Beeches thrive on the thinnest of limestone, and birch will grow in unfertile soiL crops. The evidence of plants is impor tant. Chickweed denotes fertility Nettles, dandeloins and buttercups do not grow on poor land. Thistles also indicate good soil. Certain wild grasses denote barren ness. Grass land which seems cover- ed with dead, unkempt stuff, like badly made hay, is always barren Tbe atate of the crops should be ob served also, though that may indi cats more as to the character of tbe farming than the quality of the land. Zebolon Baird Vance and tbe Farmers of North Carolina. Cor. Messenger and Intelligencer. Let him who questions the seal, integrity or patriotism of Vance, look well to his own record. For to Zebulun Vance Worth Caro lina today owes a debt this generation can never pay. I ask, who was it that led the forlorn hope, when the fates seemed al' against us in our darkest hours of peril when to us it seemed there were none able to rescue us from the terrible maelstrom? I ask who was it that stepped into the turbid current to rescue our almost stranded ship of state from the fate that seemed inevitable Shall we ever prove recreant to him who alone was able to deliver us; a thousand times no, say we. Let those who would malign him or who would question tbe honesty of his inten tions look well to self. He has never occupied an uncertain petition. We could always tell on which side the feuce to look for him, and when we needed him he was not to look f or. Who among us so pure as to question the mo tives that have actuated so pure and incor raptabla a patriot. Let my tongue be palsied when it would utter anything derogatory to the standing or influence of such an individual. Take Vance and bis influence from us and where will North Carolina be. Back in the dark days of Radical rule and misrepresentation ready for the iniquitious election law of Reed and his minions. God deliver our people from such a fate and the time when we shall be deprived of the wisdom of such mtm as Zeb- ulon B. Vance. You, who would malign him, show in only one single instance where even yo l claim he has proven recreant to the ti ast reposed in him by the right thinking people of this State. Would that we may never have a worse councelor, and that we may ever have as wise a Statesman to steer our frail barque into tbe haven of peace. Now to tbe question to wit: The Sub- Treasury bilL Vance introduced the measure but where is the authority that he ever ap proved it. He did not wish to ignore tbe wilj of his constituents ; he knew to whom he was endebted for the position he occupied, and he complied with the demands of the Armer end introduced the measure, without at the time com tnittiug himself, and when asked for his opinion honestly gave it I, with Vance, say the Sub-Treasury bill is not what the farmers of the South need. Give us more money and how? By abolishing the tax on State banks and the free coinage of silver. and then let us work for the money after having placed it beyond the power of the lnonied rings to contract, and we will be al! right. I am bitterly opposed to placing any more of my rights in the hands or keeping of the general government. The disposition of the times is too much to centralisation al ready, and besides the same law that allows the people of the South to warehouse their cotton allows the Northwest to warehouse the food supplies of the country, which would militate against all hands in factories and machine shops, saying nothing of the classes who inhabit our cities and towns engaged in the various callings of life outside of agricul ture. Farmers, yon are more fanatical than I once thought you were. There was a time when I gloried in your conservatism; now I say to you, beware of your would-be leaders, lest your last state be worse than your form. er. xne good xrd ueuver us irom tne coun cil of tbe vicious andthe hands of our would be friends.

Striking Growtb of SonLbera Citie- Y, Herald. One of the most encouraging, as i is one of the most surprising result of the census returns is the growl! of Southern Cities. I We are prepared for surprises f ron the TVest. That is a new and rapid!j growing section. Immigration f ronj abroad and from other parts of Ihe country has contributed steadily ani iberally to tbe swelling of its poptH lation. But in the South we have not look ed for any exceptional or strik-m advances in urban population.

Louisville has grown from a hundred and twen ty three to a hundred and eighty thousand; Memphis from thirty three to seventy five thousand; Nashville from forty three to seventy two thousand; Atlanta from thirty seven to sixty five thousand; Savan nah from thirty to forty five thou sand ; Dallas from ten to thirty siae thousand; Galveston from twenty two to thirty five thousand. Iu the census of 18S0 Chattanooga is credited with a population of less than thirteen thousand ; it now has. with suburbs, forty five thousand. Birmingham. Ala., then had three thousand ; it now has twenty seven thousand, or including suburbs, fifty- five thousand. Fort Worth, Texas, has risen from six to thirty one thou sand, an increase of three hundred and sixty five per cent. Such evidence of Southern prog ress are matters of national congrat ulation. We trust that the full cen sus returns will show a degree of in dustrial and commercial prosperity in the South that will surprise the country. Bill Arp's Philosophy. I heard a young man say to his employer. "Mr. Jones called again to get his money, but couldn't wait, and has gone back to his work. He said be had called three times and you were not in." 'Well, let him call again. I cant stay here all the time just to accommodate him. I wonder if he expects me to take his money tohimf Yes, my frieud, that is just what Mr. Jones has a right to expect. He ought not to haye been forced to call at alL You hired him to do the work. He did it, and it was your duty to have hunted him up and paid him. You are rich and he is poor! he can't afford to lose his time, but you can. This is the tyranny of capital oyer tabor, and this is the cause of the conflict between them. Money is the king and labor is tbe subject. Just let a man get rich and he gets tyrrannical. There are few exceptions to this rule. Woe unto the man who has to de pend upon the rich for his living I His man hood is crushed , and he feels that be is help less. Not long ago I saw a struggling young man writhing under this tyranny. He had worked hard in the broiling sun for a month and had well earned bis money, and it took bim three weeks to get it. His employers were rich and their money was in tbe bank, but one partner referred him to another, and tbe other was off on a trip, and when be re turned said he would attend to it as soon as he had time, and after several failures the young man was referred to the boss of the work for a certificate," and so his patience was tried for days and weeks. This is all wrong. A man should be just as anxious to pay the labarer as he was to get bis work. He should bunt him up and pay bim. 'lbe sewing woman ought not to have to wait a week for her money. Tbe wash woman out not to call but once. If you have not got it or are not at home, then send it to her as soon as possible. Labor is just as good as money. Honest labor is full equivalent for mouey, and is entitled to much consideration. Indeed, there is some. thing about tbe labor and toil of working people that - is sacred. It is a sin against heaven to withhold their just reward. know men who keep back the wages of the poor. They pay, but it is too late. "Does he pay you for your work. Uncle Sam! "Oh, yes, sir, he pay. He pay whoa he get Vli&iued to see me standin' aroun. I stand aroun' on de streets and about de postoffioe and gets in his way sometimes and den he pay. His money mighty good money dey . say. -It draws intrust in bis pocket." A Maid who Prays for Her Husband rVashingtou Post. A young lady resident of a TV euteru city, not engaged to be married, and unmistakably fancy -free, stated with an air of the most charming lugeu iousness that she prayed every night for her husband, "because yu know, if I am to be married my husband is living somewhere in this world, and I pray always that he may be deliv ered from all temptations, be kept in good health, and be successful in whatever path of busiuess he has chosen. "Aud is tfcu a!l you pray for Ir Perpetual Motion. In a Bangor (Me.) foundry and ma chine company's machine shops there has been at work for few years past well educated Russian, who was forced to leave his native country for political causes. This man, whose' name it is thought best not to men- : tion, claims to nave discovered not only a perpetual motion, but a motion of ever-increasng velocity, and capa- ' ble of furnishing power not only for smaller purposes, but the inventor claims his machine may be construct ed so as to furnish power to run ths largest mills. What this machine is like the own er refuses to disclose, but he solemnly asserts that everything is as be says, and be is only now waiting to procure funds to enable him to perfect his invention, procure a patent, and then the whole world may see the machine in operation and judge for themselves of its worth. From such meagre description as has been gathered from the crumbs let fall by this strange wizard of the ., machine shop the thing consists of the oft-tried wheel, with its swinging" weights and spring; but the method of construction and the action differs from any yet tried in that the weight. after carrying the wheel down, is sprung back with such force as to drive that side of tbe wheel up with much more force than that with which it comes down, and thus the speed is ever increasing, unless check ed. The wizard said that the first model - perfected by him had nothing to reg- -ulate its speed, so that when he bad it once started he could do nothing to stop it, so great had become the ve locity. Much to his sorrow, he was compelled to leave it and let it work out its own destruction. For twelve long hours it kept up its ever increas ing velocity, when there came a sud den crash, and the inventor rushed into the work-shop to find his model scattered in a hundred directions. pieces of it having struck the wall with such force as to have imbedded Uiem3elves in tbe wood and mortar. This was several years ago. 11a has since been busily at work on his -new model, which be says will far excel the old one in power. It will be fitted with a governor, though. ' It is now nearly completely, and ere Ion' Bangor and the work! may prepare themuolves for a grand surprise. The Russian machinest will then, if his story be true, loave his place at the lathe and take his stand in advance of such scientists and inventors as Franklin, EJiaou, Stevenson, Watta and others.
