tho past week Grant's couJitioti was nbout tho same uutl ou Tue-fday ho i Nmv York city and went to itlcCuegoi, ouo of tlie foothills of the Adirou luck luuge of rnouu- tnus, in the i pnrt of New York, about miles from Saratoga, where it is hoped the pine rur nnd health- i i i help i recover sotuo of Irs i Ijist A i i i General did not go to sleep i lite, but slept 11 i th i nnd did not get up i latd on Thursday morning. Ou 'Ihmsdiiy i he ngnm rosteel well 'iiid 0:1 I'nelay felt a com- i i i the moiuiLig ho came Hndsou River railioad, tho car window and the rear door weio opened, aud the General was turned around so that he conic! see the river, and he seemed to be enjoying himself thoroughly. About 10 o'clock General Grant turned a little bis chair in order thnt be might command a better view of the west bank of the river. He wanted to gam glimpse of West Point as the train hurried ou. The scenery was glowing very a i i a to the sick man.

At 10.15, wheu the quarters nt West Point swept into view, the General looked across tho river and again faintly smiled ns Mrs. Grant glanced toward him to see if he was noting the point they were passing. The ladies hurried to the river side of the car to watch, and Colouel Fred, Grant pointed out a pile of rocks which he bad heard his father mention tolling ot swimming adventures of his student days. The General spoke no word, but followed the scene with his eyes, looking rearward until West Point was shut out from view by a curve of the road. Once the General pointed to a residence on tho west bank of tho river, aud leaning toward Colouel Fied Grant he attempted to speak nud tell him it was the house of a friend, at which in past years he had been entertained, but so weak wns his voice the General could not make himself heard.

Dr. Douglas requested him not to make any eflbit to speak, aud bade him write what he had to say, which the General did. The tram arrived at Mount McGregor nt 2 45 r. making the trip five hours and half, nnd the General, steadied on either side by Henry and Harrison, his attendants, started to walk from tuo to the Drexel Cottage. The ascent was eat.y and the distance shoit, but his strength failed, and he was placet! in a chair, which was carried to the cottage by two potters.

The General walked to his room on the same level as the bioad piazzn, and there he sank mto a chair, with pillows bo- ueath and behind him. Perspiration was standing on his face, and the strain of the jouruoy gnve way to a leaction ot extreme weakness. Ho laid back with closed eyes nud tho nurse fanned his face. Dr. Douglas was anxious to ex and cleans tho Ganeial's throat.

He found that considerable nutation had been caused by fine black dust i had lodged the tin oat during the jomney, but said that the surface underneath, though inflamed, appeared better than he expected. The swelling outside bad steadily increased after passing Hudson and i tho lust of the it lapidly tilled forward ou the neck aud below the collar. The Goneial's voice, which was better at starting than on Monday, had utterly tailed him and any effort to spnak resulted only 111 a i nud almost inaudible aspirations. After his throat batl been treated the eueial went out ou the piazza aud sat about 10 minutes, wheii he nrose, aud i his cane, slowly walked into ronm aud laid down. Dr.

The list couclueled with sixty seven papers aud mementoes, comprising ail- clieases, honorary society commissions aud resolutions of respect, as well as the freedom of cities presented abroad. As the papers nnd smaller articles were checked they wore packed in a large box and this, when full, was covered, sealed and loaded upon a truck at the curb, where a mau stood guard over the prop Tho onyx cabinet was carried out lupacked, to be boxeel elsewhere also Propelled by Electricity. A test of the new electric motor to be used on the Baltimore Union Passenger Railway Company between Huntingdon uvcnue anil Woodbeny, in Baltimore county, was made at 1 A. on Tuesday, and recalled in many of its features the first test of telegraphy made in that city on May 24th, 1844 The trial-trip of the motor was made under the direction of Mr. Thomas Robbins, tho general manager of tho company.

In conversing on tlic subject just previous to the tnal test Mr Robhma anid "My attention was fust, called to clee- tricity ns a motor on lailronda by the little exhibition load 800 feet long, built at Coney Island. I went there, saw it in working order, and taicfully examined every detiiil. I was moie a favorably impressed i the investigation, anil icturned fully satis- lied thnt it it would stand the test of an exhibition on an 800 foot tramway it could he easily put to a practical use for commercial pin poses on the railroad I represented I sent for Mr. Daft, of the Daft Elec- tuc Company, Gieenvillc, N. and ho came on to Baltimore to examine the road.

My plans were perfected and carried out, and lueii practicability or impracticability i soon be known Tho appliances for the new motor include an engine house just noith ot the company's stable on Huntingdon avenue, in which thotc! is a 75 horse power steam eugiue and boiler and a 50 horse power dynamo for generating electricity The track was prepared under the direction of IMi II A Foster, who represented the Daft Electric Company. Theie i a i i rail (insulated) between the rails over which tho horse cars and through which the electric cm i cut passes to the coutact wheel of the motor. The Dait Electric Company also constiucted the motor or electric engine with which the test was made. This is a plain little caboose, circling, with armature, only 4,500 pounds It is almost eight teet long, four teet wide and the loot is only nine teet itorn the ground From the renter of this motor, which has boen named the haugs a little brass wheel, called the "cou- tact wheel." It runs entuely on the center lull, taking up the cuirent of electricity and delivering it into the armature located the forward end of the motor. The curient ot electricity is administered to the center rail from the dynamo generator in the engine house by means of copper wucs When the contact wheel takes it up horn the center rail the armature at once becomes "excited," and the motive power is transmitted to the axle by means of geaiing, and the wheels of the motor are thus tin own into motion.

I i i the outside wheels the current is then tinnsmittect to the outside rails nnd teturned to the dynamo generator, thus keeping up a continuous current along the entire length of the load The electric is low tension and no clanger fiom shock will lesult to man or beast if the mils aio touched, either in crossing or with the bare hands In the latter case the result is only slight tingling sensation The test was entirely successful, the motor moving the cars easily and it is said it will run 12 cars at a total cost of ijj15 per day, while the cosl of horse-powei to run one car per day is 6. Printing' by Telegraph. Au exhibition of au entirely new system of tulegraphy was given in Philadelphia recently. Thero wero present, by invitation, a of New York and Philadelphia capitalists, electricians and representatives ot tho press. The most maivelous thing about the contrivance is that a single ordinary telegraphic wire conveys the electric current aud operates the receiving macluue.

In appearance the sending machine is very much like au ordinary type writer. The instrument has 42 keys, the letters of the alphabet, the numerals, and a few punctuation marks, and every letter or sign struck by the sending apparatus was instantly shown both upon that instrument and the receiver. Pressure upon any key caused a certain number ot magnetic impulses to pass through the hue. The number of these impulses differ for each letter, and they bring corresponding letters on the t) pe wheel of the receiving instrument into such a position as to ruake the impression ou piece of paper. Any person who can read can transmit and receive messages through it.

It is as rapid as it is accurate, aud all messages by it being automatically printed, both at the point of transmission and that of reception, they can be received iu the absence as well as in the presence of the receiver. The recording of messages at both points precludes all ques- Tlie Adnilnlvtratiun Since the last issue of the HERALD the Gladstone Ministry, in England, as is the custom after Parliamentary defeat, have resigned their offices and the Queen called upon their political opponents to form a Cabinet nud take chaige of the Administration of the affairs of the Government.

The Postoffice Department continues to be the "working corner" of the Admiuistiatiou. In the Trensuiy the time appears to be occupied by the making of changes. In the Navy Department the Dolphin occupies all official minds. Tho Department of State seems to be i a i over its mistakes. The War Department has its eye on tho commencement at West Point.

The Interior is struggling with a fow land grant muddles. The Department of Justice is doing nothing, and the Poatorh'ce Depaitment is left to hang out the banners of the administration as it may see tit to do. General Vilas has a very pleasaut way of giving the why aud wherefore of many ot his official acts. When he removes an official he accompanies the announcement of the removal with tbe cause. He says that he prefers to do this to avoid newspaper guessing at it.

IS. fc O. Rrakcinen Strike. The brakemen of the B. O.

R. R. at Newark, Ohio, went out on a general strike last Saturday. The trouble was not on account of wagos, but simply the result of a reduction of forces on freight trains. The general reduction was made last Fiiday night by removing the front brakemnu ot every freight tram drawn by Mogul engines.

The brakemeu claimed that the State law required one man for uvery ten cara. Mogul engines usually draw 30 cms. When they saw two men would be required to manage a train, they refused to go out, and the trains weie kept at a standstill. An attempt by officials to send out a tram resulted in the brakemen congregating, pulling the pins, cutting the train in ton or twelve parts and threatening injuries to parties. One official drew revolver and threatened to shoot, nnd for time it looked as though a riot was imminent.

Two leadeis of the strike were airested nud placed in prison, but were soon released, by advice of the company's attorney, for fonr that their confinement would lend to greater excitement nnel further trouble. Conductors lefused to go out without their regular crews, and thus another obstacle was met and a of regular trams wore held. Lute in the i a small train was sent out. There were about 300 brakemen engageel in the strike. A i Scattered.

Thehouseaud burn of MatthewRedcly, a farmer, located in Cerro Gordo county, lown, were carried ID a terrible storm ou Sunday night. There were hardly boards enough left to build a fire and not a bit of the furniture uor a piece of clothing could be found after tho storm was over. Mr. Reddy was left in a sitting position ou tho ground and discovered his brother some yards away in field, where he had been hurled, dead. He found his wife, in her night clothes, some ten rods from where the house had beeu, in a cornfield, and his five-year old sou about 30 rods away, almost, covered up in the mud.

They were both severely injured and it was thought would die. All three of them were beaten black and blue all over their bodies by the hail. --The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the Pennsylvania railroad are having a great battle at Philadelphia. Able lawyers are busy aud council committees are enj'oymg elegant hospitality while looking over tbe proposed route of the Baltimore and Ohio road into tho city. The Pennsylvania road is naturally fighting off the competition of the Baltimore and Ohio road as long as possible, but it is only a matter of time when the latter will gam its point.

From first to last there has been great deal of able strategy carried ou by the two roadb against each other, nnd the lesult is that the Baltimore aud Ohio road has had its line to Washington paralleled, and the Pennsylvania road is having its line from Baltimore to New Yoik Sunday Times. --The Ohio State Republican Convention last Thursday nominated tho following ticket For Governor, J.

In June, 1883, Judge Foraker was nominated for Governor at the Republican State Convention, receiving a large majonty of the delegates.

A drop or two of this oil will perfume several ounces of alcohol. INFAVSPAPERf Our need now is, to grow more grass not more acres, but more to the acre, leavin- larger acre of ground for fodder and other crops raised on a mixed fanu. This can only be done by better preparation of the soil, and better seeding.

Instead of i the seed in a haphazard way upon the hard, weather-beaten surface of ground in the spring the seeding should be postponed i the grain is cut and harvested. The soil is to be plowed with a shallow furrow, thoroughly well harrowed, and made line and compact. The seed must be sown, and immediately brushed in with the smoothing and brush harrow, which is easily made. This levels and firms the soil, as well as spreads and covers the seed. It is well to use this harrow crosswise of the harrow marks, and across the line of sowing, so as to spread the seed more evenly.

is better still to sow An lOiKl to Itone Scraping-. Edward Shepherd, of Harriaburg, 111., says: "Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering humanity know it.

I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg Is now sound and well."
