FOUR MILES A MINUTE. A Machine to Convey Packages and People at that Rate. A new scheme of transportation is to be introduced l>etwecu New York and Boston, whereby, it is said, large packages of mail aud even ears con taining passengers can be whitked from one place to another, a distance of 200 miles, in less than an hour. This would be equal to a speed of four ruiles per miuutc. Au experiment with the new machine was held yes terday in Boston in the presence of many scientists, including Professor A. E. Dolbear, of Tufts college, who announced Ahat he was thoroughly satisfied of the success of the system. The inventor, John G. Williams, is a resident of this city. His macnjnc consists of n magnetic car hanging from a single rail, where it follows a streak of electricity. With one horse power it is said that one ton can be thus transported at a distance of 1,440 miles a day at a cost of thirty cents. This, ii mail matter, would represent 2,880,000 letters aud by this system packages of mail could be sent off every five minutes thus preventing large accumulations. The single track is to be carried on tripods some dis tance above the ground, and the car will passthrough coils of insulated wire at intervals. In the experiments yesterday the carriage exhibited was mounted on a wooded track, on posts about three feet high, with an ascent of six inches in five feet, and it ran on one wheel at each end. The scientific principle involved is said to be that by which a hollow coil of insulated wire will draw a magnet into itself, and in the aerial railway the car passing trough a coil cuts off the current, which goes on to one ahead. What next? A Tennessee Story. Col. Robertson, of Habersham, was one of the speakers at the road congress. Among other things he said: I am very much like a Teuncssceau who came down, into Georgia. Our roads are about tbe only thing that did not feel the shock of the revolution of 1861. They arc just the same they were before the war. •This Tennesseean, who was used to those enterprise in his own state, crossed the line aud came down into North Georgia. After driving through mud holes and through ruts, and out of one rut across three, he came iuto dry ground and then lie struck a root out of dry ground, that had neither form nor comeliness. Then he came along a level stretch of road and lie peartened up, and the horse pearteued up, and he came up to a house and it looked like it was all right, whcn»snd- denly, strctchiug ns far as the eye could reach in front, appeared a pine pole corduroy. Turning around he whipped his horse back to tho good stretch of road aud then hack and forth agaiu till lie attracted the atten tion of the mnu who lived in the house, and the man carac out. Overcome by his curiosity, lie said: ‘‘My friend, what does this mean? Arc you druuk or crazy?” And the man from Tennessee re plied, ‘‘my friend I am from Tennessee, lam going down into Georgia on some business and this is the first trotting road I’ve found, aud dniiin me if I ain’t ngoiu’ to enjoy it.” It Does Seem tn Work. Unjuyuiv, I a., May 22—In an inter view yesterday. Internal Revenue Collector Webster, of this district, staled that the prohibitory law in creased the sale of liquor in Iowa. This year lie has issued 2.12 more li quor licenses Ilian last year. The number of wholesale dealers is slight ly less than before the prohibitory law.'but the sales are larger and the qualilv of the liquor so d is poorer. Not only have the sales increased, but since the decision of llie United States Supreme Court in the ca c of Bowman Brothers the Marshalltown brewer's importations by express of original packages of liquor lias been enormous. Wholesale liquor houses have sprung lip all along the borders of the slate and arc supported mainly by the Iowa trade. - There is a good deal of grim humor among Texans. In the southwestern part of the state, some time since, a bank president, after making way with all the funds, posted upon tbe door of the institution the simple legend, “hank suspended.” That night a half dozen of the depositors hung the thief to the limb of a tree, fastening upon his breast a placard bearing the terse inscription, “bank president suspended.” . The Woodrow evolution theory brings up the creation of Adam. The old negro who said Adam was made out of mud and stood up against a fence to dry, evidently pinned his faith to the creation from the dust theory, though lie was a little off about that feucc. However this may be, his faith was sublime. Moral: Let these nou-esseutials alone and gire your time aud atten tion to the vital questions of rhristi- unity. ASLEEP ON THE TRACK. A little child, fin'd of play, had pillowed his head on a milroad track and fallen asleep. The train was nlmoM upon him when a passing stranger rushed forward anti saved him from a horriblo death. Perhaps you are asleep on tho track, too. You art*, it you are noglecting tho hacking cough, the* hectic flush, tho loss of appetite*, growing weakness and lassitude, which have unconsciously crept upon you. Wake up. or tho train will bo upon you! Consumption, which thus insiduously fastens its hold upon its victims while they ore un conscious of its approach, must ho taken in time, if it is to be overcome. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured thou sands of cases of this most fatal of maladies. If taken in time, and given n fair friaJ. It la guaranteed to benefit or cure In evory ease of Consumption, or money paid fur it will bo promptly refunded. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short ness of Breath, Bronchitis.
