yearn ago a propeller that could carry
•90,000 bushels of grain or 1,000 tons of
coal was considered a monster, but there
arn many now in the trade between
Buffalo and Chicago and Cleveland and
Duluth that carry over 100,000 bushels
of grain in a single c$gn. The Onoko,
one of the great iron propellers, takes
120,000 bushels of oats in a single cargo.
These large vessels are fast crowding the
smaller propellers and sailing vessels off
the lakes.
A Berlin correspondent writes that sue

by on electric motor. The balloon is the
invention of a German engineer named

in America, where he ]>erfccted his dis¬

Many efforts have been made in vain
recent years to introduce the one-cent
piece into common use in the South. The
New Orleans Times-Democrat recalls the
fiu t that several years ago “auewspayer
imported some barrels of the coins and
put them forth, only to find out that they
Warned in a very short time.” At last
Hie despised coin is reported to be win¬
ning favor in New Orleans. The Times
<Democrat declares that “a largo number
nf houses are now willing to accept it
:and make their change accordingly, and
ithe public is beginning to recognize that
the cent is of some value after all.
Strange to say, at the beginning of this
movement, the small dealers still hold
buck.”
What Napoleon w ittily said of Russia,
that it is a despotism limited only bv as¬
sassination, still holds true, says the
('nit i rat or. The last Czar, the father of
Hie present one, was brutally murdered,
and there is never a moment when the
autocrat is absolutely safe. Since the
invention of dynamite the position of
this poor creature has become more piti¬
able than ever, as lie may be blown to
atoms at any moment, with no possibility
of previous warning. And even more
serious than tin's is the effect upon the
millions of Russian people who seem
driven to plots anil dynamite as the only
means for effecting reforms which in
happier lands are brought about by
popular education and the enactment of
inure just and liberul laws.
Professor Brown-Sequard,” says the
Poll Moll (lazrtte , “has been informing his
students that death by throat-cutting is
painless from the moment the skin of the
nerk is severed, and that the severing of
the larynx produces complete amesthesia.
Moreover, a blow delivered with violence
upon the larynx can produce instantaneous
death, with syncopal appearances; and M.
Brown-Sequard thinks that ‘inasmuch as
most assassins seem to be cognizant of the
fact, honest people ought to be made
aware of it also.’ Just what the con
elusion from these statements is, v,-e do
not exactly see. Is it a plea for the intro
duct ion of u new method of capital punish¬
ment, or a veiled compliment to the exten¬
sive and peculiar knowledge possessed by
the French assassin!”
Within the past few years several towns
in the Western States have been experi¬
menting with street pavements of brick.
Many miles of brick pavement, it is need¬
less to say, exist iu Holland, aud there
are remains of brick in the streets of
Nantuoket. Mass., but elsewhere in the
United States this material has been
rarely, if ever, used for the purpose.
According to the Engineering News,
Bloomington, III., deserves the credit of
being the first modern town in his
country to introduce brick paving on an
extensive scale. The town is situated in
the clay region and bricks are cheap
there as well as good, and by careful
selections of material it has been found
possible to produce bricks so tough and
(hard that in Bloomington, where seven
miles of streets are laid with them, they
have been found, after ten years’ experi¬
ence. durable, as ’well as-cheap and con¬
venient. In Amsterdam, where, although
canals intersect the city in all directions,
a good deal of traffic is carried on by
means of horses and wagons, the pave¬
ments of small, whitish bricks show little
sign of wear; and, partly on account of
their porosity and partly from the numer
ous joints whieh exist between them,
they are wet weather much dryer and
pleasanter to walk over than stone, or
oven asphalt.

DISMISSED FOB CAUSE,
W. H. Green, the only colored man
ever added to the signal service, has been
dismissed from that service without char¬
acter. The only significance in this order
lies in the fact that he is a colored man
and is the man over whom Gen. Hazen
and Secretary of War Lincoln had a con¬
troversy. Green was a graduate of a
New York college and was highly recom¬
mended, and tho secretary overruled
Hazen. Green, soon after appointment,
was assigned to duty at Pensacola, Fla.
The sergeant in charge of the signal of¬
fice there refused to accept Green as his
assistant aud was court-martialed and
reduced to private ranks for disobed¬
ience of orders. Green was placed in
charge at Pensacola, but did not give
satisfaction, either to the signal office nor
to the community he served. lie was
cord sent to has Rochester, N. Y., where his re¬
been very unsatisfactory, and
it is stated that had he been a white man,
his connection with the signal service
would have been summarily cut short
long before this, but the desire to give
a colored man every possible indulgence,
led to his retention uulil his own conduct
necessitated his dismissal.

I u closing, the governor referred to the
obliteration of sectional lines and the re¬

presence of a Federal general joining
with the Southern veteraus in honoring

Lons’ Illness.
William A. "Wheeler died Saturday morn¬
ing at his home in Malone, li. Y, after a
long illness. His death was painless, and life
went out so gradually and quietly that it was
hard to mark the exact moment of its flight.
Mr. Wheeler had no near relative in the
world to minister to him during his illness or
to watch by his side at death, but therela

YELLOW FEYER.
ENERGETIC ACTION OF THE UNITED
STATES GOYEHNIENT.
A Key West Physician Denies that the W
sease Is Yellow Fever—Rif id Qnoran
tine Regulations Enforced.
i Acting Surgeon-General Btoner, of the
Marine Hospital service, telegraphed the
president of the board of health at Tam¬
pa, Fla., for information as to what
measures have been adopted at that city
to pretent the spread of yellow fever. A
reply from the was infected received* saying passengers
districts were detained
in quarantine fifteen days and their bag¬
gage disinfected. The coast counties
south of Tampa have also established a
quarantine against Key West. In order
to insure a thorough fumigation of the
mails at Tampa, the employment of extra
help has been authorized.
A Jacksonville paper says; “There is
no yellow fever in Florida,except at Key
West, which is on an isolated island,
nearly two hundred miles south of Tam¬
pa, and nearly one hundred miles from
the nearest point on the mainland which
borders the everglades. There has been
no yellow fever at Tampa, or any other
place of the mainland. The health au
thorities are vigilaut in nearly every
county in the state. The general health
is excellent, and sanitary conditions de¬
cidedly good. The weather is simply
delightful, the heat being tempered J>y
constant cool sea breezes. A rigid quar¬
antine is maintained against Key West
and Havana, aud to make assurance
doubly sure, certificates are required of
travelers to show that they are not from
the infected localities. There is no dan¬
ger whatever in any one coming to Flor¬
ida and going anywhere in the state, ex¬
cept to Key West.”
The secretary of the treasury author¬
ized the employment of six nurses to
attend the sick in the barracks hospital
at Key West, and four guards to protect
the property of persons removed to the
hospital. I j
Dr. Moreno and other physicians of Key
West deny positively the prevalence of
yellow fover, and assert that the disease
is merely an acclimating fever of a pecu¬
liarly fatal type unless properly treated.
Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild has
issued a circular in regard to contagious
diseases, in which he says: “In order to
assist local authorities iu the maintenance
of quarantine against the introduction in section of
infectious diseases, as provided
4,792, Revised Statute-, Act of April 26,
1878, and appropriation acts authorizing
the President to maintain President a quarantine de¬ at
points of danger, the has
termined to establish, by means of ves¬
sels of the revenue service, a national
patrol of the coast of the United States,
so far as it may be practicable under ex¬
isting laws and consistent duties confined with the per¬ that
formance of other to
service.”
He has ordered the revenue cutters to
commence an active cruise upon their al¬
lotted stations, and to aid the quarantine
authorities to the extent of their power.
Quarantine affairs will be recognized as
follows:
“Medical officers or acting assistant
surgeons of the marine hospital service
in charge of the Gulf, South Atlantic,
Cape Charles, or Delaware Crookwater
quarantine, or any officer of said service
on duty at any port on interior rivers,
great lakes, or the Pacific coast, and all
quarantine officers acting under proper
state or local authority. Special regula¬
tions to aid bad quarantine authorities
will be promulgated hereafter should oc¬
casion require.”
The marine hospital bureau is in re¬
ceipt lower of numerous applications from the
counties of Florida for govern¬
mental aid to prevent the spread of yel¬
low fever and for the stationing of phy¬
sicians connected with the service at
points where the fever is likely to break
out. These applications are evidently
based on the idea that the government
may be called upon to act at any time;
whereas, according to the terms of ap¬
propriations for the prevention of the
spread of yellow fever, the marine hos¬
pital service can only act in connection
with and in aid of local authorities, in
case of necessity. No such necessity is
deemed to exist at present in Florida ex¬
cept Key West and Tampa. The bureau
has no information of the existence of an
epidemic at any point except Key W est.
A SIGNIFICANT WARNING.
The Aiuhorttles (Setting Ready for an Up¬
rising of Anarcliiet* and Horiallata.
From many points in the United States,
notably from the West, comes intelli
gence that the anarchist leaders mean
what they say, that some stirring scenes
will be enacted all over the United States
within the next few weeks. A general
uprising has been planued with a view of
to revolutionizing the present state
society, and burying in one common ruin
all existing institutions. This tremen¬
dous undertaking is to be accomplished
by a sudden revolt. The torch is to be
applied iu a hundred cities, and the cap¬
italists oi the country, their wives and
children are to be murdered—sacrificed,
as the anarchists say—in the cause of
liberty. The terrible scenes of the
French Revolution, when “the streets of
Paris were re 1 with blood;” the massacre
attending the uprising against the Carl
i-ts of E iglund in 1830. and the riots in
the sir et- of Paris in 1818; the uprising
in Europe in 1871; the rioting anil burn
iag of property i i the United States dur¬
ing the great railroad strike of ’77, and,
later still, the ILiymarket riot in ’86,
were all uprisings of the anarchists, and
unsuccessful attempts to achieve their
aims.
SHOOTING A SHERIFF.
Capt. John Mannin was directed to

Logan, well-known as desperate charac¬
