Following are some points about the Lttle tooomotive b&ilt at OS City, Pa., the smallest engine in the world, bring but ieight inches long and weighing but a pound and a half. Three years,: counting ten hours as a day's labor, have been devoted to its const ruction. There are 585 screws in the engine. The steam guage ia but ene-quarter of an Inch in diamo ter; the pump throws but one drop 'of water every stroke; the head-light is only one-half inch in width, 'seven-eights of an inch high and three-eights of an inch long. The space in the lamp is so small that it was almoetim possible to get enough oxygen in it to support the combustion. The fire ia kindled by using a gill ef atoohol, which runs the engine for half am hoar. The stroke of the cylinder is one inch; bore, MS; the throttle lever is bnt five-eighths of an inch long, arranged with a thumb-latch and click; the fire-box is Boven eighths of an inch wide and one inch long; the smoke-stack one and one-fourth inches high and live-sixteenths of an inch in diameter; the steam-dome is nine-sixteenths of an inch in di ameter; the driving-wheels are one and one- half inches ln diameter; the front truck-wheels half an inoh-and those of the tender are of the! same size.. The tender is but; three and three- fourths inches long, two and one-eighth inches wide and two inches high. , The metals naed in its construction are brass, solid silver, gold and steeL - -I' ' ' TUB ORIGIN O DIXIE. .

Dan went to work, and by Sunday afternoon he bad the words commencing "I wish I was in Dbue.' The expression was not Southern, but appeared among the circus people of the North. In the tr fall, when nipping- frosts" would overtake the tented wanderers, the ; boys woulcLthink of tha warmth of the Soath, and 4hS eOrnmon ex presiion would be, KWeH,l,wish J was iii Dixts." This gave the catch-line, and the rest of the Song was originaL On Monday morn ing it was rehearsed and highly commdedj and at night a crowded house caught up the refrain and half of them Went home singing Dixie. The song became the rage, and W. W. Newcomb's Buckley's Minstrels and others gave Pan $5 each foriha privilege of using it Mr. Werlean wrote to Emmett to secure a copyright; hut without waiting for a reply, published It with words by a Mr. Petera. .
