Twenty 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 «w*Hsful experiments have been made at Met/, with a navigable balloon, propelled by on electric motor. The balloon is the invention of a German engineer named IN elker, who for some time was employed in America, where he ]>erfccted his dis¬ covery. r l he German Government has bought tho invention, paying for it 1,000,000 marks down and another 1,000,000 which is to be paid in install¬ ments, I he speed of tho balloon ex¬ ceeds that, of a railway train, and it may be stopped and directed at will, moving aginst tYie wind. 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.

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.

Y., Altera 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 € tires of his deceased wife and friends, who have been bound to him from boyhood by the closest ties of affection, were grouped with his pastor and physician about him when the final summons came.

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 serve a warrant on John and William Logan, well-known as desperate charac¬ ters in Morehead County, Ky. They are the sons of Dr. Henry D. Logan, who is now in Lexington jail for.murder. When the sheriff was told the brothers were not in, he attempted to search the house, when the two boys came out of their hiding place and shot Capt.
