Ho Was tlio l'lntt to Draw lteln on tlio Iron Homo In Amerlra. Special Col ropoudenco.J Rosto.v Oct, 8. Many locomotives In theso days travel sixty miles mi hour, whllo n fow travel nt tho rate of seventy miles. A speed of eighty miles an hour is said to hnvo been occasionally uttalued. To tho people of this generation, who think nothing of travel ing over country ut such n tremendous siKsxl that thoy can't count tho towns ns they pass them, pulled along by magnificent, well proportioned, powerful locomotives, one of tho lumbering, 111 shupon, ugly masses of iron used as locomotives fifty years ngo would Bceni very ridiculous, Thcro is such a one in the National museum nt Washington. It Is actually funny. Tho boiler is low down near the ground, nud bulging out nil over with Iron warts. Tho evolution of tho locomotive is a flue study a btiuly growing more and moro in popularity nowadays, wheu nearly everybody knows something about tho iron horc. Tho first locomotlvo imported into America was bought in Manchester, Kiigtnud, of tho Stephenson company, by Kirk IJoott, for tho i Boston nud Lowell Railroad cororatlon. It arrived in America In ISM, mid for conve nience of transportation had been strlpicd ns far as possible. When it reached Ronton It was placed on soveral boats of tha Middlesex Canal company und druirn to Lowell. With tho locomotlvo caino ft planer ami tools for building locomotives, and as soon as patterns could bo prepared a new lo comotlvo vt as com menced. Tlio im ported maclilno was put together nnd named "Tho Steph enson," In honor of the builder. Tlio first eugliio made nt 1 Dwell was named "Tho Patrick," after tho president o f tho corjioratlon, Put rluk T. Jackson. This locomotlvo was completed ru coorai. threo or four days before tho .Stephenson tnauo lt.i trip, Tho litcphenson weighed eight tous, ami had four wheels with outsldo conncctloun. Tho boiler hail U.l tubes, which wero small nnd inteudod for burning coal; but In using wood they becanio clogged, and in order to clear them out tho locomo tlvo wasstopiKsl and tho fireman cleaned thorn with a long rod. The coach which was used in tho trip was a small niruir, with Bents at the bide. Tha first trip was mado from Lowell In June, ISJi'i, mid tho tllstauce, tweuty-slx miles, to Hoston,madoin soventy Eovcn mluutc3.

Ho wns bem in Stockport, England, Dec. 10, 1801, and caino to this country with his parents in 1800.

Strain on tlio Heart Every year tho vacation season claims Its quota of victims. Many who have becomo somewhat eufceblcd,ly long confinement mid close attention to tlio calls of sedentay oc cupations rush away for a short holiday nml endeavor by systematic over exertion to mako up for tho inactivity of tliopast months. Every year brings its sad warniugs of this folly in a record of fatali ties, whllo tho cxpcricnco of mat prac titioners shows Act more clearly that this ovcibtralu is followed by prolong. Illness. Tho circulatory nud respiratory hyutems work hand in baud, nud rebel against any ridden disturbance of their ordinary routine. Tho danger Is always rcutest wliun, In the presence of any cardkio weakness, tin ex ertion demands an arrest i-f respiration In moments of intense nervous excitement tho breathing is frequently, uucousciously stop ped nud tho btrnln upoutau enfeebled lic-ut then becomes vory severe.

T Oct. a-Capt, David Tlbbs, of this city, n retired Missouri river stenmlKiat captain, mndo n trip to New Or leans last winter, and has been talking over since, when n congenial listener could bo found, of the chnnges that hnvo come about In river navigation during the pnsl twenty years. Nover did I hear tlio old captain admit that any change for the better had been made until a fow evenings ngo. Wo wero sitting upon the piazza of tho captain's hotel, smoking a twilight cigar, when tho lnrge arc light in front of tlio hotel suddenly blazed out In Its cold and searching brilliance. The captain started nud half rose from his chair, ns ho Invariably doe at this nightly recurrence of this, to him, strange and unusual phenomenon, "I can't somehow get used to that damn lion light that Hares out all of u sudden," said he. "Somehow It seems ns If something Is going to explode, and the Ural time I saw ltIJmiiKsl right up and yelled! 'Draw the fires nml let oir steam,' Just us If I w.ns back ou tho old John Pexton, with my lw grind ing on n Imr." I assured the old gentleman that It was tho most natural thing In tho world fori, man of his years to bo startled, nml confessed to a certain sensation of surprise nud momen tary fear whenover tho trained Iguus-fatuus of science suddenly burst out upon tlio dark ness of the street "Queer thing, queer thing," rctlected tho old man, "queer thing this electricity. Why, you remember I went down tho river Inst winter, stoiiiH'd at Bt Iouls and saw u lot of old river men V Yes, I remembered -hnd indeed ns distinct a recollection or tlio fact its somo forty re citals of tho fact, coupled with various Inci dents of tho tilp, could give. "Yes, captain, I believe you told mo you went to New Orleans," I replied, preparing myself for the Inevitable tale of decadence, wrong nnd oppression in everything along tho river between Fort Sully nml tho gulf. "Well, I'll never forget one night Just lielow Memphis. 1 had been stopping olf along tho river, and at Memphis got ou to u now line steamer with all the modern contrivances, but none of the life and dash that u river steamer carried in old tlmo river days. Well, as 1 was saying, 1 stood ou the deck smoking u cigar. It was as dark n night us over tried n pilot's kuowlcdgo or the stream; you couldn't wo a dozen yards from the boat. There wasn't no torch ou tho Jack stair, such us you would see fhmiiug out over tho prow yenrs ngo, nml spattering blood red relleo tlons ahead. Hut all of u sudden, way out ahead, n mile or so, 1 saw u circle of light drop onto a clump of phio trees ou a head laud, and then, quicker than a Hash, jump across stream, and laud square on the ro t ctu nigger cabin Jiut olT the shore. Well, now, thnt puzzled inc. I looked around to see where it came fnnn, nml there it was dnuciug along the piles or n cotton lauding half a mile up stream. It mado mo feel queer, I'd seen tho glow balls Jump mid vanish abovo u swamp, but it wns not that kind ot u light Just then tliociqi tain came up with u lautern. He saw I was looking kind amazed, mid says he: 'Our pilot Is finding landmarks with nu electric light.' We went forrnrd, nud there, sure enough, was a contrivance like nu englnt headlight moving around ou u pivot und shooting those shots up nnd down the river, feeling of the darkness, ns it were. Tho power dynamo, thoy call It, was down by tho engine, and ihopilut could turn It onnudoir when bo wanted, to. From tho pilot house he could switch that big flaming oyo to any point of tho compass. Well, 1 tell you, wheu I thought of how many times I used to tie up nt iiii:ht jpst becaiuo my pilot had missed or couldn't mako out n laud mark to a dead certainty, I realized what a really good thing those shore searching lights are, anyhow. Rut after nil, Pvo seen men that, glvo 'em a cage full of blazing pitch Uro ou tho Jackstnir, nud they would go through tho most ticklish spots ou the river without scraping a sung or nosing onto n single bar." And tlio enptnin, ns if ashamed of his mo mentary disloyalty to the past, opened with moro than usual flro upon his favorite topic, the destruction of tbo great river tralllo by railway combinations. 1'llANK P.
