They expressed themselves ns being much gratified at the success of the electrio motors which have taken the place of horses on their line.— There Bre two motors, the “Morse" and “Faradny.” The motor weighs about 4,500 pounds, nud with the or dinary horse-car ottnebed, with its quota of passengers, can make the trip to Woodberry and return, about four miles, in less than twenty-five minutes. Thu road is uphill nearly all the way to Woodberry, and at ono place is very bleep and at the same time makes a considerable turn. It is not proposed, however, to run the motors at an excessive rate of speed, ns the road along tbe railway is quite a thoroughfare for people living at Hampden, Woodberry and beyond, and too great n speed might result in accident to the pnsser-by. The manner of running tbe motor is as follows: Between the rails upon which the wheels of tbe cars run has been placed a third rail, which is in sulated from the ground, and where n break is uecessary at switches, etc., the continuity is preserved by means of insulated wires. At the stableB on Huntingdon avenue is a 35 horse power engine, which drives two dy namo machines. Only one machine is renily uecessary to run the motors, but tbe second machine is to be used in case of accident to the first. By a system of switches and safety switches tbe engineer turns a curren of electricity .ntfo-kba third railfby which it is communicated to a smaller dynamo machine in the motor, nnd thus the motor ie started. Tbe re' turn current is made through the wheels, outside rails and tbo ground. Stops are made by tbe engineer in the motor breaking the current by means of a switch. The motors are tbe in vention of Prof. Leo Daft, of the Daft Electric Light Company, who has been in Baltimore superintending tbe starting of the motors. Tbe motors are now transporting passengers, though on account of some temporary 'difficulties are run ning at rather long intervals, but a number of stages suffice to meet the demands ol the public. Tbe only difficulty now in tbe way of perma nently successfully working the motor sjstem is the fact tlmt there is some little danger to stock and horses re ceiving a shuck from tbe middle rail. The directors, however, at their meet ing yesterday, decided to ooviate this danger by placing planks on each side of uutl a .little higher tlmn tbe mid dle rail. This lias already been done nt ro.ut crossings, but in spite of cau tions elsewhere has hem found to be ueetssnry the win le lergtb of tbe road. 1'l.u experimonts on the Baltimore and Hump'lt'h line have demonstrated the practicability of the motor sys tern, which, moreover, does away with dust, cinders, smoke and noise, for the motor mov.s .dong with hardly u sound exeept a low, hissing noise, which, it is said, will uut be benrtl lif ter tlie motors have been rnnniug some little time. It is understood that the same kind of motor will be intro duced npou the Nintb Avenue Ele vated Road iu New York City very soon.

And i saving bank nnd tho in itially, would SMAU SAVINGS. Tbe lesson of making small savings and of avoiding small extravagances will never be learned nntil human na ture is essentially changed; and that is why it is necessary to repent and enforce tbe lesson so often. When we remember that tbe whble earnings of tbe people of the United States, rich nud poor, old nnd yonng, male and female, amounts to tut average of lees than fifty cents a day. tbe impor tance of a cent is iuorensed. An ex change puts tbo ease of little cxtrnva- gauces thus: Five cents each morning. A mere trifle. Thirty-five cenlsja week. Not much, yet it would bn; ar for a whole family. Inrs and twenty-five con this amount invested ii at the end of each yeai terest compounded a amount to more than six hundred and fifty dollars. Enough to buy a good farm in the West. Five cents before breakfast, dinner and supper. You’d hardly miss it, yet its fifteen cents a day, one dollar and five ceDtn a week. Sufficient to buy a wife or daughter* dress. Fifty- two dollars and sixty cents a year.— Enough to buy a small library of books. Invest this as before, and in ‘.wenty years you would have over two thousand dollars. Qaite enough to buy a good bouse and lot. Ten cents each morning. Hardly worth a thought, yet with it you can buy n paper of pins or a couple of spools of thread. Seventy cents week.

Flah Culture In Georgia. Americas Recorder. Mr. R. T. Baisden, of Schley coun ty, has been for seme time engaged in fish raising. Iu this pood he no ticed a small “red eye" fish beddiug, July 1st. On the 21st she hatched her dimiuutivo brood in number be tween 1,100 and 1,500. They were very amall, so s nail ns to lie seeu with difficulty. Mr. Buisdeu watched them carefully, mid says that the mother nourished them from tbe small tilaiueuts around her gille, as un ordinary nnimal is nourished from the udder. She carried them to tbe-nest every uiglit and covered them iu tbe sand and trash. He is confident that lie can raise n thousand fish from each mother every season with proper oa re.

A BUtaop Polnu to a Rifle, and flo.pl- tably Entertain* Him. Cincinnati Enquirer. On my arrival at Lehl I was direct ed, os usual, to I lief Bishop’s house for entertainment. Rapping at tbe door, was soon confronted bv a large, heavy-built, broad-shouldered fellow, wbo asked me, in anything bat polite language, what I wanted. I informed him that I desired eutertnininent for the night. “Where aro you from?” “California, sir.” “Where are you going ?” “South,” I nuswered. After plying me with a few more questions of sim ilar nature, he iovited me in. Oa en tering tbe house, he turned to me nnd said: “Do you see tLnl rifle up there?” Looking np to the point indicated I saw one of those long, murderous rifles, commonly called Mississippi ri fles, resting snugly upon.tbe antlers of a Rocky mountain back. I told him that I saw it, and much admired tbo artistic manner of banging it. “Well, mister, that is our lawmak er. WbeD anyone comes amoDg us and commits any dirt, we do not hes itato to use it. Now, listen to me. ] am the bishop of this settlement. I have two wives and several daughters. Now if you can promise me hot to speak to, or even to look at any of my women folks, yon are welcome to re main over night. Keep your eye on that rifle and mind what I told you. Can you do it ?" It was a mighty bard job, but .1 told him I was at his command, and, if it was his honest desire, why, of courso, I would obey him. He then bade me follow him into au adjoining room, where his family was n c sem- bled. I was dimly conscious that there were stvernl females seated around the fire. He drew up a chair for mo and bade me be seated. Turn ing to tbe women, be gavo them or ders to prepare supper, lie bimself taking my orders for wbat I wished. All this time I dared not turn my head nor look toward anyone but the bishop. I knew that bis eyes were npou me, and that bis two wives and •laughters were studying me closely. I was greatly embarrassed, but witbnl managed to dispose of a hearty sup per, at tbe conclusion of wbieb we returned to tbe sitting room. It was by this time quite dark, and bis Ron, n large, athletic fellow, coming in, tbe bisbup told him to entertain me, nnd Ht the proper lime to show me to bed. Putting mi his overcoat and fur cup, for it whs quite eoM, ho bade me goodnight, sujing that be was com pelled to attend u ward meeting.— Before closing the door he pointed to the rifle overhead nnd said: “Remem ber, young mun, what I told you.” It was positively unkind of him to remind ma of it, for the confounded old gnu was cjiistautly on my mind. I Lad seeu some of their treacherous work, ami had heard much more. I kuew wbat they were capable of do ing, and, under the circumstances, dared not disohi-y bis warning. The door closed, and lie was gone. The ladies were seated to my rigid, Me son to my left. To make iissnriince doubly sure I turned my back to tbe ladies, and, facing tbe young man, en tered into conversation with him.— One of the ladies got up aud went to the dobr several times. Finally she came up and bluntly asked me if I was a Mormon. I hardly knew what to do. I bad been warned against speaking to or even looking at any of the women. Was she seeking to draw me into trouble ? She certainly knew that I had been forbidden to address her under penalty of death.— Yet there ebe stood, calmly inviting me to my fate. The eyes of tbe yonng man were upon me. Great beads of perspiration started out on iny fore head. “Do not fear to speak, young mao; be has gone, and will not be back be fore midnight,” she said, nnd at that she laid her band on my head. “It’s all right, stranger,” said tbe son. “Speak up and look around as much as you like. I’ll vouch for yoor safety.” Tbe ice wns now broken, aud turn ing to the old lady I said that I was not a Mormon. “Thank God for that I” abe said, and then tbe conversation became general. I was told all about tbe benrtnehes aud sufferings of tbe first or original wife; how in almost every case they bad been deluded into join ing tbe Mormon faith under false pre tenses; wbat shame and mortification came over them when it was found a second or third wife was to be taken into the household. I was rather reticent, nnd did not express my opinion on tbe subject as I might otherwise have done. Tbe two daughters were comely and full of life. About ten o’clook they bade me good night and retired, and I was conducted to my room by tbe young man. DON’T GIVE VP. A dull boy in a certain school was frequently reproached by bis teacher, nnd made little progress. One day be made a first attempt to write. Tbe scrawl was so wretched it excited the laughter of the boys who snt near him. A gentleman, visiting tbe school nnd witnessing His distress said to him: “Never mind, my lad, do not be discouraged, and you will be a writer some day. I recollect wbeu I first began being qaite ns awkward as you; but I persevered, nnd now look! See wbat I can do.” He took his pen nud wrote bis uame in a large, legible Lntid. Years afterward, when the dull boy had become one of the most celebra ted men of bis day, lie met again the mnu who hud spoken to him those few words of encouragement. He said to him: “It in my firm conviction that I owe my success in life, under God’s blessing, to those few words yon spoke to me that day when I sat so discouraged, trying to write.” A Bad Outlook. A South Carolina citizen thus looks tbe problem in tbe face when be oaks: '‘What is to become of na? With tbe morphine Imbit oinking u host of li ars; tbe quinine In.i.it u glnwtly band of nerveless, would-be suicides; the tobacco habit giving us a tendency to cancer and wbat not; tbe whiskey habit taking people by erooked ways to early graves; the money habit filling the country with avari cious speculators, thieves nnd bank robbers; tbe office-seeking habit turn ing honest people away from honest work to getting an office, it does seem we Hre iu n bad way generally." An old bachelor, through ro fund of bis, was shown a baby and expeCthd to admire it, of course.* > - ; “Well, Mr. Bilkins,” said the proud young mother, expectantly, “it> it not lovely ?” “Yes-er—that is to say—er-um-i about how old must such a baby Mm Mrs. Tompkins, before it begins to look like a human being?”
