Respect- ing the street cars and the method of working them, s reporter of the Cincinnati Enquirer says: “ There is Simply to be attached to the back axle s cog wheel 16 inches in diameter, by which the power is communicated to the_ car wheels.

There, is one revolution of this motor to ten of‘ the generator, which gives seventy revolu- ‘ tions of the generator to one of the car axle. The generator consists of one wheel of emery and one of steel, with their peripheries in contact, and revolvnng toward each other. What is applied in the way of pressure to the wheels to cause friction, or by what, whether by copper brushes or otherwise, the current is received, was not explained, and it is not important. In what manner also the posi- tive and negative currents thus generated are to be applied to the motor, the smaller cogwheel mentioned, was not explained. Such an application resulting in motion has been for a long time an accomplished fact ; and in regard to the degree of power involved, when Mr. Everett aflirms that a single drop of water will con- A‘ ,__r J-.. veal-v w nap-o... __ â€" tain the electric renergy of a thunder- bolt, sufficient to scatter the strongest towers, and bring them toppling to the earth, there can, of course, be no doubt that suflicient can be obtained from the emery and steel wheels somehow. The remarkable feature of the invention appeared to be in the fact that this genera- tor is run by the revolutions of the very oar axles which they are assumed to keep in motion. On reception of this informa. tion, the press reporter, having some suspicion of the invention's kinship to per- petual motion enterprises. whistled softly and inquired, " When aear stops, supposing it will ever run, what is to start it again ‘2" “ Oh. this isn’t any perpetual motion businessfi' replied! the inventor. There ,__A_._ is a pedal attached to the generator, and the manager of the car can revolve it with his foot. A dozen revolutions will start the car, and then with that electric cafiacity on hand it con- tinues to run itse . “ Why, if it runs it is simply immense, and if it continues to run it is too stupendous in its results for any but the most comprehensive minds to grasp l" exclaimed the reporter as he bade the inventor good-bye. He saw, in imagi- nation, as he wended his wa homeward, one of those street cars wi an electric motor attached, and from which the eon-1 ductor had fallen, going along Broadway at the rate of a mile a minute, gathering momentum as it moved, with its axles ablaze and its inmates paralyzed with fright, knocking men, women and children topieoes on its way, a perfect besom of destruction. For it seems quite apparent that the faster the axle revolved the faster the generators will cause them to turn, so that the eventual speed of this forthcoming electric carriage, uncontrolled. is terrible to contemplate.

King Kalakaua, of the Sandwich Islands, occupied one of‘ the Royal carriages. The Princess of Wales, attended by Lord Col- Ville, Hon. Mrs. Francis Stoncr, Lady Suflield, Hon. Mrs. Arthur Harding and Lady Emily Kingscote, drove up shortly afterwards, and was received with enthu- siastic cheering, the multitude having in mind the cruel Stock Exchange canard circulated a few days ago that her eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, had been drowned at Melbourne. As the outriders to the Queen's carriage, which was drawn by four greys, were seen trotting up from the Castle into the great park, the royal i standard was run up on the flag-staff at the saluting int, the bands, fortyJive in number. p ayed the national anthem, and the volunteers, drawn up in long lines, presented arms, while the artillery bat- teries fired a salute, heard distinctly at Primrose Hill. The Duke of Cambridge. who had gene- ral charge of the day’s work, occupied a position next to the Queen at the saluting int, and with Her Majesty was Prince hristian in the antique garb of the Ranger of Windsor Park, and an array of army oflicers in all the pomp and circumstance of the Horse Guards. Behind them and along the main pavilion clustered the largest and most brilliant gathering of lords and ladies ever assembled in England since the old jousting days. Although. through oversight, Prince Christian had neglected to provide accommodation for the members of the House of Commons until the last moment. there was a large turn~ out of that body. and nearly forty Com- ‘moners besides took part in the review} with the volunteer corps to which they belong. The Radical element, however. was conspicuous by its absence. Sir Hu h Cbilders, Secretary for War, was warm y thanked by the Queen for his efforts in making the great show successful. The House of Lordswas well represented. A group of griazl veterans, headed by Lord trathnairn. arl Lucas and Earl Hard- wicke. mounted and in full uniform, stood close behind the royal carriage, with Earl Ksnmare. the Lord Chamberlain’s corps of gentlemen-at-arms under Earl File, a number of lords-in-waitin , and quaintly oaparisonsd yeomanoot-t e-guard under Lord Morison.

Forty-seven sentences. varying from one month to two years' imprisonment, were passed by means of the society. in cases of brutal character.where the victims were the helpless and the weak. In reference to Italian organ grinders. the society reported that many persons were not aware to what an extent these men are the means of spreading corruption by inducing young English girls to become their companions. The society has done what it could to remedy this evil ; but as these girls contracted such alliances of their own accord. and refused any offer of help to be restored to their ‘friends. effectual assistance could not be . given to those who were not willing to be ;assisted. The society urged upon parents and guardians the necessity of seeing that 1 no young ple under their care should ‘correspon or enter into an engagement in consequence of advertisements without the ‘ most ample and unquestionable reference. 1 Especially did this warning apply to those ‘ who correspond with a view to going on the l Continent. Due caution in this matter ‘ would be one very eflective method of stop- ping the horrible traffic in English girls.

AMedical man writes : It is a safe rule never to drink ice water. yet those whc are in the habit of drinking ice water it will not hurt so much as those who only occasionally use it. Another pernicious habit which people have is to drink ice water immediately after eating fruit. For examples. young fellow with his sweet- heart goes to the ice-cream saloon and not unfrequently they eat a dish of straw- berries, a dish of ice-cream and then drink a glass of icewater. Such violations of nature's laws will produce congestion of the stomach, and the body becomes over- heated by increased activity of the whole vital organism in an effort to save life and rid the system of the intruder. and now ‘ this feeling of heat is attributed to the hot weather, when it comes from a want of knowledge of physiology.

Protection In- A Melbourne correspondent writes: The rabbits are increasing in some parts of the colony to an extent wholly incredible. The whole country appears one moving mass of bunnies. The odor from them, living and dead, is more than perceptible. They eat up every green thing. Dogs will not touch them. or even deign to give chase to them, after a day or two’s experience. They have been attacked in dfl‘erent waysâ€"shot, dug out. burnt out. bitched out. fenced out ; all has been found‘ useless. The injection of carbonic acid into their holes has been found effective but costly. Lately the Government has taken to poisoning them with phoephoriaed oats, and they are disappearing from the 1 districts where this is practised. They are 1 said to be killed by hundreds of thousands, so there is hope that we may yet live to see the da when the " rabbit st," as it is called ere. will be got un er. You may imagine that it is not altogether a cheerful thou ht that the rabbits you eat at table may ave come to their end by poisoning or suffocation. Mr. Thomas Greenway. says the Huron Expositor, has struck a good thing in the Northwest. About a year ago he located at town near Rock Lake and called it Crystal ‘ City. It is in the vicinity of this place that most of the Ste hen and Hay people are settled. Crystal ity has recently been made the county town for Rock Lake Count . and the county buildings are to be erec there shortly, and recently over $9,000 worth of lots were disposed of by auction. and the most of them are to be built on. So that gaunt appearances seem to indicate that r. Greenway is in a fair way for making an immense fortune out of his city. This is a good deal more profitable than representing South Huron in the Dominion Parliament for 81,000 per annum. with a certainty of having to expend twice that much ever five years to get the position. and even t on run the chance of losing both the money and the position.

Some time ago two Glasgow constables swore that a man named Lyon had com- mitted an assault, but the evidence showed that he was assaulmd by a constable, who had mistaken him for another person. The Stipendiary said the two constables should be tried by Sherifi and jury, but the case dropped because the Fiscal found there was not suflicient evidence to sustain a prose- cution. The attention of the Crown oflicials having been drawn to the matter, the two constables were apprehended, and are now to be tried on a charge of perjury. Landlords in Scotland are wiser than their neighbors on the unhappy island to the southwest. Some weeks ago report was made of a remarkable case of rent reduc- tion and now another comes. There is a farm in Forfarshire which letin 1862 {or £800. It has just been relet for £540. It is pointed out as an example of the preva- lent over-rating of land that this farm, at a rent of £800. was not considered to be let at an unreasonable rate, or above the aver- age in the district. But the tenant was absolutely unable to make both ends meet, and the landlord had the good sense not only _to see it. but to give him practical reli'ef. A Ill-carded ”You" Lady Wield I.

On last Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock (says the Halifax Herald), a nephew of one of our most prominent real estate agents was married at St. Paul's Church, corner of Spring and Agigall atreete, wherea large assembly had gathered to witness the ceremony. Previous to the marriage the young man had been engaged to a respect- able, well-hehaving young girl. the niece of ML- uunv, "VI-*wâ€"w--â€"° J -W“ "e, , e well-to.do brewer of this city.

The pursuing force started at 4 o'clock and continued its work of massacre till 10 at night. when darkness compelled them to bring their operations to a close. There seems to have been no resistance, at least Skobelefl‘s report. which is minute enough in other matters. speaks of none durin the pursuit. There is also not the sligh st mention of any attempt being made to take any prisoners. What appears to have been done was thisâ€"the cavalry went on ahead to cut of! the retreat of the foremost fugitives and check the progress of the others. The horse artillery fired volley after volley of grape into the dense masses of fugitives behind. and :then the infantry followed with the bayonet and massacred all whose wounds or exhaustion left them powerlessto escape. When darkness prevented any more slaughter the troops returned home and Skobelefl‘ telegraphed to the Emperor triumphantly that " 8.000 Tekkes had been hacked to pieces ‘2" This massacre of the unfortunate Turcomans provoked a certain amount of adverse comment on the part of the English press at the time, but it was assumed that the fugitives were all of them men with weapons in their hands, and hence little was made of the slaughter by most newspapers. It now appears. how- ever, that this was nct the case. In his. official report. from which we take this “atrocity." for it is nothing more than an “ atrocity," General Skobeleff pens calmly the words: “ In this pursuit by our dra- goons and Cossacks, sustained by the troop of horse artillery. were killed upwards of 8.000 persons. of both sexes.” Further on, in recounting the triumphs of the siege. he says: “ After the capture of the stronghold we buried inside it 6.500 bodies. During the pursuit 8,000 were killed." There is not a word of extenuation for the troops to sustain any assumption that the slaughter of the women and children was uninten- tional and done in the heat of pursuit. Skobelefl’ treats the slaughter as a matter of course. as a thing of common occurrence in Russian warfare. and to be rather recounted with pride than explained away by excuses.

On Wednesday morning last there went to Bufialo from Lockport two workin girls, aged respectively 18 and 20. who had three months ago left the rural districts of Pennsylvania for the City of Locks. The girls were in search of employment. They had heard of Smith's Intelligence Office. Main street. and soon after arriving in Bufi'alo. by inquiry. succeeded in finding it. Smith told them. the girls say, that he would look up a place. and for them to call again in the afternoon. They called, and were directed to 82 Canal street. and told that they would there find a situation such as they desired. About 7.30 .m. the girls sallied ‘forth to find the cassic shades of the street by the canal, whose unsavory repu- tation had never reached their innocent ears. Upon inquiring the way, and stating what they were in search of. a gentleman whom they asked told them that they were being led astray. and escorted them to the Guild of the Good Shepherd. where they were taken care of. The place to which they had been directed is neither better nor worse than the rest of the houses in the immediate vicinity, which is correctly termed “ the infected district," and a more vile or degraded population than it contains cannot. it is tobe hoped. be found in any city in the Union.
