Weems’ Marvelous Motor. For some months paragraphs have appealed, now and then in the news papers, concerning a new railroad system by which mails and light mat ter may be transported with a speed much greater than any yet attained by steam cars, and it was announced the other day that arra ngcmcnls were being made to put the system into operation. The inventor is Mr. David G. Weems, of Daltimore, and the motive power is electricity. About - 150patents have been taken out in the United States and in the other principal countries of the world, cov ering the vital points of the system, and among them is one for a principle intended to make it impossible for trains to jump the track, however great the speed may he. The road, at Thun.ho clasped lu r with emotion, Drew the iiiiii«l«*n to his breast, Whispered vows of truo devotion, The old, old tale,-you know the rest. From his circled arms unspringing, With a tear she turned awnv, And her voice with sorrow ringing, “I shall not see my bridal day. This dramatic speech broke him up badly ” . i ..I But when eho explained tlmt her npprehen- Jl rule, Will 1)C bllllt OU the SIt 1 (flee 01 gjons were founded on the fact of an inher- lhc ground, and will have a gunge of twenty-four inches, hut in populous districts it will be elevated if thought desirable. The cost of construction will be about $5,000 a mile. All trains will be operated from generat ing stations, about 100 miles apart, and there arc means by which the operators aro posted concerning the exact position of each train, from the time it leaves one station until it reaches another. A feature of the system is that no attendants arc need ed upon the trains. For the last year repeated experi ments of flic system have been made at Laurel, -Aid. The experimental road is a circuit of two miles, with twenty-nine changes of grade, some of which arc very heavy. From the tests made, it is thought that the train can be mil on a level track at the rate of three miles a minute, 180 miles an hour. It the Weems system can be put in to successful operation. it will bring about a revolution in railroad matters. Fcoplc who have witnessed the trials at Laura! arc confident that it will he a success. “In Dis Yere Sin-cussed Worl’.” Arkansas- Traveler. The mayor of Louisville, upon meeting an old negro, drew him aside, and, in a voice by no means gentle, thus addressed him: “Randsom, I am going to have you arrested.” “How come dat ?” “Why, for having obtained money under false pretences.” “I ain’t done nothin’ like dat, sali; I ’clar’ ter goodness I ain’t.” “Didn’t you come to me yesterday and get a dollar ?” “Yes, sah.” “And didn’t you say it was to pay the funeral expenses of your son ?” "Yes, sah.” . “Well, but, you trifling scoundrel, I saw your son on the street just now.” “Hah?*- “You know what I said.” “Yas, sah; yas, but I didn’t tell you de boy wur. dead, did I ?” “Didn’t tell me he was dead! You infernal old idiot, did you suppose I thought you were going to bury him alive?” “No, sah.” “Then what do you mean by saying that you didn’t tell me lie was dead ?’’ “Now, jes’ hoi’ on, sah; jest wait or minit. Dat boy ain’t been in good healf fur a laung time, an’ knowin’ dat I’d hatter bury him sooner er la ter, w’y I ’lowed dat 1^1 better raise de money durin’ de busy season when the folks wan’t hard pressed. I’se mighty kine-hcartcd dis way, sah; monstus kinc-hcarted, but er man doan git no credit in dis yere worl’ o’ sin fur bein’ kine-hearted. An’, ergin, I’se er man dat doan blebc in puttin’ ofT er thing dat he knows is gotter be done. Knows dat I’ll hat ter bury dat chile putty soon, and yere you come an’ wantcr punish me fur takin’ up de ercasion in time.” "You old rascal, that boy is in excellent health.” “Who, dat chile? You doan know dat chile like I docs, sah. Dat boy suffers with the genstion, but it’s jest as I says, «r hones’ an’ kinc-heart- ed man doan git no credt in dis yere sin-cussed worl’.” ited predisposition to consumption in her family, he calmed her fears, bought ft bottlo of Dr. Pierce's (JoId *n Medical Discovery for her, ftnd she is now the incarnation of health.
