The horse boats between the cities of New York and Brooklyn may be cited aa early attempts to scire the problem of transport by water. An interesting feature of these early constnictions waa tbe use of a water wheel 1 3 feet or so in diameter, with 24 floats, tbe latter In clined slightly to tbe radius so as to avoid tbe lifting of tbe water, which is so troublesome a feature of the radial float. These horse boats appear to have been of three general designs. In the flrct a frame, shaped somewhat like the letteT "A" or an inverted "TJ," was mounted to turn around its vertical axis. Four of these frames, dividing the circle into eight parts, made a sort of skeleton cone, and this cone was caused to revolve eight horses moving in a horizontal circular path about 30 feet in diameter. The face gear, 15 feet in diameter, drove a three foot pinion mounted upon tbe axis on tbe water wheel shaft and the wheels were within the frame in an opening between half hulls. Tbe second plan waa of a conical skeleton frame at an incline cf about one in two, so that tbe horses bad to travel up this inclined surface, causing it to rotate with their weight and trac tion. In tbe third plan a smaller design tbe paddle wheels were brought into a well between tbe two half bulls of the boat, catamaran fashion, aa in the first anangement, and tbe frame was mount ed above tbe wheels, and its rotating motion waa transmitted by intermediate idle wheels to tbe water wheel shaft. Boats of tbe first and second class seem to have been about 75 feet long. It is interesting also to observe tbat the swinging bridge for ferryboat serv. ice had been already thought out by Fulton early in this century, with its counterweight construction and its windlass for making the boats fast Such boats seem to have drawn a little over two feet of water and to have had perfectly flat bottoms, like scows. Pro fessor F. B. Hutton In Cassier's Maga zine. SHELBY AND THE PRESIDENT Bow Be Clinched Bla Appointment aa United Statea Blarahai. "One of General Shelby 's saving traits was his ubility to say exactly tbe right thing to' the right man in the npht place. A heavy tight was made on him when be was a candidate for the mar shaiship. His opponents had told Presi dent Cleveland that Shelby had been concerned in the assassination of the of ficers of Cass county who had issued some railway bonds against the wishes of the people. Shelby prepared himself with affidavits from leading citizens and went to Washington. Disdaining assist ance, be obtained a personal interview with Mr. Cleveland. When he entered the executive office, Representative Dcckery, the banker at Gallatin, one of his bitterest opponents, was present. " 'I have been accused of assassina tion, Mr. President, ' said General Shel by, 'and have been informed that tbe appointment to the United States mar shalship for the western district of Mis souri hinges upon tbat charge. In jus tice to a Democrat I want you to exam ine these papers at your leisure. ' " 'You have been correctly informed, General Shelby,' said tbe president. 'That charge has been made. I will look at your papers. ' "Congressman Dockery interjected a remark. 'I will bid you good morning, Mr. President, ' said the general 'There is nothing that man' pointing to Dcck ery 'can say to me in this office or in your presence. There are many places in which he can meet me if he desires.' "There was a distinct challenge in bia manner and glance, but it never came to anything. Within an hour Mr. Cleveland caused General Shelby to be infermed that be would be given tbe appointment. The entire business waa settled in less than half a day. It was the guiding principle of General Shel by's life to go straight for any thing that be wanted and straight against anything that he didn't like." Detroit Free Press. - Kiss Noah. The scholar should know his text books, else he may have the mortifica tion of being outmatched in his own specialty by a layman, as in this story Irom an exchange: A child waa brought to a Yorkshire vicar for baptism. Aa be waa told that the name was to be Noah he naturally referred to the infant as "he" in tha course of the service. Soon he felt bia turplice pulled by one of the women, who whispered to him that "it waa a lass." "But Noah is not a girl's name," said the'parson. "Yea, it is," spoke up the child's fa ther. An adjournment was made to the vestry to settle the point. Tbe father said that whenever he bad a child to be named be opened the Bible and chose the first name of the proper sex tbat met bia eye. The clergyman insisted that in the present case a mistake had been made, whereupon the father opened the Bible at Numbers xxvi, S3, and read, "The names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Noah," etc. There was no mora to be said. 1 wee it Ceaqanen, m A recent bulletin of the department of agriculture points out tbe fact that within the past IS years there baa been a complete change in the chief insect foe of the cotton plant. Previous to 1831 tbe cotton warm was not only tbe principal, but almost the sole, insect depredator dreaded on tbe cotton plants tiona. Since that year the cotton worm has gradually disappeared, and s new enemy to tbe cotton plant the boll worm, has taken its place. Such revo rntiana in tha insect world not infre euently occur, and sometimes they take oa tbe appearance of actual conquests effected by one epeciea over others. Ia the 8andwich Islands, tor instance, a species of ant istradaced from abroad driving oat all other insects, tha only native species thai annua able to with stand it being the earwig.

To the great Joy of the self-righteous and Re publican part of this region, your scribe has been quite sick. To their great grief he has improved somewhat, and hopes to be able to soon stand before the mart. It seems that during my sick ness the Observers has had a hard time with comers and goers who want relief. The trouble is blame 'em they wHl not take what they aay they want. Take, for Instance, CapL. J. B. Fortune. He had his mouth fixed for the mar shalship plum, and swore by all the gods of the G. O. P. that nothing elae could fill a long-felt want and flu it to overflowing. Well, ss Jule ha-l done the people of Shelby a good turn, we thought he ought to have It While 1 had the case of Ves Turner, C. M. Flack and others under consideration, I turned everything else loose and whooped for Julius. The editor, seeing how things stood, came to my relief. I lost a crop, brought on an attack of "yaller jandera," had four fights and had my Sunday clothes torn; besides being turned out of the church; all to help Jule Fortune. I even mounted my nag. Buckafuius, and started to fee Major McKinley. On my way. I learn ed that Julius had given the thing up, 'when it was certain, and said be could get "something better." Now, it seems to me that the "something better," so far, is tbout a ton of dally letters from the pie-hunters, who want hla help to get places. The next man I propose tn labor for in season and out of season moat have a specific want, and not a roving commission to want everything lying about loose. Consider the Rich mond Lily of the field. He toiled not; niether did he spin, and yet Solomon, in all hlsglory. was not even aa well satisfied es Rich Lily. Moreover, he invokes blesaings three times a day on the Observer, with his face toward the Queen City. These laggards who are now blaspheming this paper for not pulling them In touch with the pie-counter, have nobody to blame but themselves. They were warn ed in due time, but as In the days of Noah some thought it was not going to be much of a shower. Among this class might be mentioned ex-Brother Flake, from the State of Anson Now, I have one more man for whom 1 ask relief. 1 took him by the beard, held a Colt's six-shooter under his nose, and made him swear he didn't want but one office, and wanted it bad Also, that if he saw he could get that, he'd not go whooping around after something else. Finally, that if the Observer does land him, he will not take on airs and fail to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. The man is Brother H. K. Wlnslow, of Shelby, who wants the postofflce at that place. Everybody ad mits he Is a good fellow and calculated to fill the office acceptably. The pres ent incumbent, T. K. Bennett, has made an excellent official, but says a life of confinement does not agree with his ro bust frame. Now, my duty is done to Wlnslow, provided he meets the re quirements. I think it will not be ne cessary to see an undertaker, but if Wlnslow falls to take this place, and fails to thank the Observer, there will be a ww kind of hair on my famous blackthorn cudgel. Now, as to my mote-hunting friend. McMullan, of Hertford. It looks very much like threshing old straw to tv agttate the Kinston resolution. My articles were not against any schools the Methodists may want, but to favor practical common schools. I stick to it that with enough money I could go t i the Legislature, even if I were an atheist or an infidel. Let my friend un derstand, however, that I reverently be lieve the Holy Scriptures. I do jues tion the divine inspiration of any bish op of the Methodist Church or any oth er Church. His opinion may be clothed in graceful rhetoilc and be delivered In impassioned eloquence. In that respect it would have no advantage of any ut terance by Pagan Bob Ingersoll. A Moslem or a Chinaman would call Bish op Pierce an infidel, while I regard his teaching as that of a Christian gen tleman. While this State is generally good Anglo-Saxon, we have many Pro testant Churches, together with Jews and Catholics. Would it be good policy to say the Bible must be read and taught In a school of such conflicting religious opinions? I try to reverence the Bible and I know that perfunctory reading will lesson respect for its sacred precepts. I am a teacher by profession, and have my notions about the interpretations of the Scriptures. Were I to comment on them, I'd na turally show my belief In the creed of some church. That would antagonize many other Protestants, and all Jews and Roman Catholics. The trail of the serpent is over all things earthly. Let a German make a picture of John the Baptist and he would recemble a German, an Italian would have him looking like an It Han. a French ar tist would have him a Frenchman; while an American would have him arrayed In the starry vest and striped coat of Uncle Sam. So, every teacher If the law required, would have his In dividuality as to creeds In his school. Something over a century ago the Church of England claimed the right of way to control Church and State. Every reader of history knows the re sult. The common schools are the property of the State. The intention of them is to give rich and poor the cnance to master the rudiments of edu cation. The law provides "that every Instructor shall possess a good moral character. Take the teachers of this State as they come, and they will com pare favorably in sobriety and other moral attributes with members of the Methodist Church. Even those who belong to no church will not suffer by comparison. My contention is, that be ing a church member does not mean being a Christian, and not being one should not disqualify a person other wise competent as a teacher. CORN CRACKER. 8UPT. McKAIX INDICTED. Kaneae' Superintendent of Inanrao Charged With obstructing Justice. Tope k a, Kan.. Dispatch. 15th. The grand jury in the United States Circuit Court yesterday found an in dictment against Webb McN'Ul. the new Superintendent of Insuraut-e In this State, for obstructing the admlnixtra tlon of Justice by refusing to grant li censes to the insurance company's tnut are contesting the HUlman suit in the Federal Courts. The Hlllman case has been tried five times, and oi each" case the Jury failed to agree, or th-; verdict was set aside for Informality, with the result that the controversy Is still pend ing In the Circuit Court for this dis trict. When McNeil was made Superintend ent of Insurance he refuse! to grant a license to the New York Mutual, the New York Life and the Connecticut Mutual Insurance Companies on the ground that they had failed to pay li censes on. the life of Hainan. Tha companies protested that the loss re ferred to was in litigation, and would be paid If the court decided again them, but McNall insisted that the companies were not entitled to operate in Kansas until the. loss was paid, an l under tat Kansas statute there was no appeal from the decision. The Insurance comoames then en deavored to proceed against McNa'i for contempt or the united ftates Curt, but Judge Foster dismlvte.1 the rav. saying' that it was not a vxat punisha ble as an act of contempt. He referred the matter to the grand Jury, with in structions to Indict the officer, if. u) on proper investigation, it was found that his action was calculate 1 tn Trc-Juilice the; public against the Insurance com panies and Impede the orderly pn s-cu-tloa of cases now pending .n the I'lilstd States Court. The Jury considered the matter last week and found an indictment agaliut McNall on three counts, rne for each .f the insurance compani s cor-cei nl in the' Hill man transaction.

Tse elans' see mt m Vw egle;d t Batatad ky Blew BvlIThat Xfcat sea-S Tstr CsUdreejf sTrtaga, " Te the Editor of the Obsarvarr ' -' There Is a disposition In soma quar ters, notably one of the leading Bos ton Journals, to cast slurs upon th manufacturing communities of the Southern States. Prom a recent Issue of tbe Boston publication tha follow ing excerpts are taken- "It la notorious that labor tn the South Is carried oa under terribly se vere conditions, largely because of the Ignorance ef the wage earners,, their incapability of combining, and the deadening effect upon ; the minds and consciences of their employer of the slave traditions of the past In the Southern States, child labor is still permitted and encouraged, and this un der circumstances almost as trying and ss fatal to the mental, moral and phys ical development of the children aa was the case in the mills and mines of Eng land, two generations ago." Others might be given. These ; re marks were suggested by the lack of encouragement which a labor agitator from New England received in his re cent efforts in the South to Induce op eratives in the cotton mills there to band themselves together into an or ganization, with special reference to limiting the hours of labor for women and children. This reflection upon Southern mill owners a disgrace to Intelligent Journalism and the forego ing remarks are totally unwarranted by facts. Now, for instance, we take the words of Mr. A. B. Sanford. of Fall River, who has recently completed a trip through the Southern mills. Mr. Sanford's observation is no isolated case, but corroborated by others. He says: "The operatives are good, native. American whites, who very quickly adapt themselves to their work, are quick to learn, happy and contented and with no disposition to strike or to join labor organizations." There Is no doubt but what the labor in the South la greatly Imposed on to the extent of children In our mills, but It Is to be hoped that at a near future day that this may be at an end. The great trouble among our mills is, the parents will place their children to work and then lounge around themselves, the whole support through their children. The writer has visited several of our State's leading mills, mostly in a line of observation, and if you believe your own eyes three-fourths of the men having children in the mills are walk ing the streets, supported by their chil dren's tireless little fingers. I know of a case where a young girl was work ing day after day to buy the daily food for father and mother and, honestly, her father was too confounded lazy to bring water for her to wash her hands. God pity such people. Do not blame the mill owners for they cannot pre vent It. But there should be a law to force these able-bodied men to work or if they will not work for their chil dren put them to work on our streets and roads, thereby reducing the ex penses of the poor children so that they may have food and have better streets and roads. I have known cases when tbe father would take the wages of his children and spend It all for whiskey and children le t hungry. I want to ask the civilized public if such should be tolerated in a land of Chris tianity, and, finally, I would say let's cast no reflection on those that toil day after day in these mills, for they deserve our credit, but to those that are able to work and live off of their children's labor they do not deserve the respect of the people and of their chil dren.

Special by Private Wire to Harrison Watts. New York. April 20. Cotton opened firm, and prices advanced five to seven points In the first half hour in sympa thy with the improvement in the stock market. The bulls tried to carry the Improvement forward, but the buylnar power subsided, and later the market re-acted, as all tbe news front the South was against It. Soot cotton was more freely offered at the South, and prices declined 1 -18 to yk. Tbe sales reported were small, at the principal Interior and shipping points, and the crop conditions were favorsble, while exports were Mght. The IJverpool markets continue Hosed, but will open for business to m low. Spot cotton here was qttlt end ea1er st 7 5-1 for middling. Tbe eeneral cr-nflltlons and outlook remain nnchsnred from previous advices, and out opinion Is thst the market will con tinue small and narrow, with a sagging tendency.

New York, April 20. IJverpool was closed again today, but the foreign financial markets were better than ex pected and thia was taken as evidence that the war was not regarded by financiers on tbe other side aa likely to Involve any of the great powers. Tbe feeling here was more cheerful and the opening was at an advance of from two to six points. The flood situation show ed no improvement and the new crop months were the strongest at the open ing. A local bear operator covered a large line jo cotton. This buying re sulted in a further advance after the opening. When these orders had been filled the market became dull and tbe advance was lost. August, which ia now the most active month of the pres ent crop, opened at 7.08, advanced to 7.13. declined again to 7.08 and closed at 7.08 to 7.09, with the tone of the market steady.
