New Power Developed A gentleman of this city believes, Uhi* ???. . bave seen the invention /agree with him, that he has develop ed a new power, and made dams in rivers and in streams unnecessary to utilise the forces of the water. Todi Justice . . Perry conceiv . ed the idea several yea-s ago, and after considerable thought and repeat ed experiment has evolved a machine simple in construction, yet with a mechanism that will certa*niy per form the work that is planned. for it. The invention is covered wrth ca veats on ali its parts, and at an early day the patents upon it will arrive in the city. Such a machine has often been at tempted, and the idea is not a new one with mechanics. Through Home faalt iu the mechanism ail previous efforts have been failures. Mr Perry perfected his machine iu two designs several months ago, and both have been given practical tests, and accomplished all that was de signed for them. One machine is in tended to utilize the revertant action of the waves of the ocean, aud evolve a power therefrom and the other to utilize the power in rivets aud streams without dams. The machines in construction are very similar aud built from the; same principle. It is a wedge shaped contrivance, sup ported from two piers in the river It swings, falling and rising with the river, and admits only a limited amount of water at all times. The salt water machine by the outgoing and incoming waves is carried to either side, the change in the posi tion not affecting the power. Thus it furnishes a uniform power at all ?imes and is not affected by the rise or iati of the river. Mr. Perry has interested some of our enterprising citizens in his inven tion, and they will posh it for all it is worth. They believe that they have a fortune in it, and careful investigation -of the motor shows that it does all that is claimed for it.?Columbia Reg ister.

We have been watching with inter est the announcement of proposed legislation at the coming session of the legislatore for some seheoie for Improvement of our puplic roads.

Gibbes, the State land agent, has in his possession the very first photograph ever taken in the Uui- j ted States, and will contribute it to the ; World's Fair collection from this State.

Otherwise tbey may disturb the process of incubation ? ?Greenvilie News. Original Compositions. Asa general thing the girl or boy of tender years dislikes wri ing com positions, and the subjects furnished in many large schools arc far from alluring. What, for instance, could very youth'ul minds make of "Edu I cation"? A small girl who eonscien- j tionsly applied herself to the task j finally produced the valuable idea that "Education is a very good tiling, and one which every child should be taught." " Whale ships," wrote a boy who had a more congenial subject, "are large, aud have an hold in which a Jobber is stored." If" a landlubber, this is scarcely to be wondered at; but the composti ion maker was evi dently writing of Hubber under a wrong name. Another youth said "Julius Caesar invented Great Britain, 55 ? a," while an equally accomplish ed historian expiaiuel that "Etbdred the Unready" was called that because he was never ready for tb Danes, lie j use to entice them away from Eng- j land by brideing them, but they use j to come again and demand a largei ! fcride." William Rufus would certainly ! <ieny, if he had the power, that "he I was gorged to death by a stag in the I forest his father had made t^ liant the j deerr; and Joan of Arc \\^. Jd hardly ; have like to i.ear that "she was the j daughter of a rustic French pheasant j which lived iu the forest." "Prince ! William was drowned in a but of j Malmsey wine; he never laughed again"?a result which no reasonable person would find fault with. A boy whose subject was plum pudding, and who was evidently not j ?CQiiainted wi'h it before it appeared j on the table, undertook io describe "how it was made, and after mention- | inga variety of queer ingredients, he i added: "When they have put all these in, they make it into a batter, and then mix it up; and wl?eu they 1 h&ve finished battering it they nut it on the fire for about an hour and a half to get it done enough, so that it will be bettor to eat, and softer to chew." A thoughtful little person?ge de clares that "a stone-mason's work is injurious because when he is chip ping he breathes in all the little chips, and they are taken into the lungs." We are also informed that "there are five ways of cooking I potatoes, and we should die if we eat our food roar." A piactical girl ad- | vises," When roasting a piece of j meat, put it in front of a brisk fire so as to congratulate it " Another thinks "we should not eat so much bone making food as flesh making at>d warmth giving foods, for if we did we shall have too many bones, and that would make us look tunny "?Harpers Young People. On one side the claim is defiantly and arrogantly announced that the functions of our goverument may be used directly for the benefit of certaio j special interest's with at best a very remote regard to the welfare of the masses of the people in opposi tion to this, an appeal is made to our fellow-citizens to hold fast to the doe triue that their government should at all time be administered directly for them, and tha' they should not be obli ged to receive, as their share of the blessings of the free government they maintain, the small portion whieh may filter through to them in the process of making special beneficiaries rich. In other words, the Democratic party is iosisting upon the honest application of the rule that a government by the people should be government for the people.?Grover Cleveland. J. W.
