? 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

Stamboul Lowers the World's
Record
Stockton, Cal., Oct. 27?A ebarp
?cool br?ese blew across the kite shaped
track today when Stamboul was started
against the world's stallion record
From the first bound the great stallion
went at a winning gait. The first pole
was made to the great time of 30? ; the j
half in the cqual'y remarkable time of
1:01^. Qe went without a skip to
the wire in 2:0Slowering Palo
Alto's record by a quarter of a second,
and his own record by two and a half
seconds.
AH the cities aud towns of this State
would do well to regulate their appro
pristi?os and expenses for the comi o g
year with a view to the probability
of a prohibition. law. Such a law
would seriously diminish municipal
incomes and may add largely to munici
pal taxation.?Greenville News.
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.
That is the subject of most practical
importance to the people, but it does
not seem to have received the attention ;
of any of the statesmen?Greenville

Col. James G. 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

somewhat faded, but is still a very
good photo. Col. Gibbes was a student

the same position, it is to be hoped !

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.
