The hon. gents who made up the body got away from town without, bloodshed or riot. They made many hostile moves from time to time, but always ptoked either the time or the man, so that nothing came of It. In this regard the Judgment shown by the hon. geuts was remarkable.

Ha only owns, with his family, something like 16,000.000 acres of land, with a few thous and peons, and a couple of sliver -mines, and ha can't un derstand why the government should want him to help pay Its expenses. Aren't there enough people In Mexico who don't own any land, who have no family tree, whose contri butions can ba forced, to pay all tba fixes the government needs? Saprtstl! Again, cara Jol It is not to ba thought of! A Maduro never pays any thing, and the Dlas man must be losing his mind to think of such a thing as collecting taxes from one of the family, who were grandees when Diag was but a lieutenant in the army of Menlta Juares. Peete! This Dlas la a com mun person, anyhow. Juares was but an Indian, and Dlas well, he a no better. The Maduraa, a-h-h!

In 1857 I was appointed agent at Pugsley's tatloa and in i860 the Caroline depot was built, and I remained in that depot thirty years as agent." No apology ts offered for tha space yielded in -presenting the. remarkable rec ord of this vetsran railway servant, Mr. Alvln Merrill of Tompkins county, New Tork. He was born in 126. and entered the service of .this confessedly pioneer American ralUoad when -a mere boy. He continued in its employ a lifetlms; re cently he retired, an octogenarian. It is safe to say that there Is no other such character living, who has served trans portation interests In so varied and prac tical ft way, without interruption, for such ft length of time (three-quarters of a cen tury); and no other man, therefore, who can span so great a period of actual ex perience In tha evolution of American transportation. Ha has seen, every phase of It so far. Prompted by tha pleadings of his friends, he leaves this- modest record, written under the fast falling shadows of his setting sun. It will certaln'y be more Impressive to the student than aty second hand assertions, of present-day writers. Tha use of steam under pressure, sug gested by many early inventors and scien tists a poskibls source of power. Tim first conception of what might be called an ap plication ot this power is generally as sumed to have been the Aeollplls of Hero of Alexandria. However, as history it somewhat vagus on this point, perhaps It would be well to accord the distinction to Sir Isaac Newton, who In l&SO proposed to generate steam In a ball or sphere, mount the sphere on a vehicle, and propel the latter by means of the reactive effect of a Jet of steam Issuing from ft nozzle at the rear of the vehicle. The first actual propulsion by steam on land in the world was achieved In lTtff, when Cugnot, ft French soldier, built a steam carriage for moving artillery. On trial this ' machine was found unsatisfac tory and impractical, although It run, and developed .a speed of two and ons-half miles an hour. Richard Trevttlitck. In 1S04, built a loco motive which was tried on tha Merthyr Tydftl tram road In Wales, and which sue cesstvely hauled five loaded cars This was the first slsam locomotive used for transportation on rails In the world. From this time, until tha actual, practi cal, commercial application of steam as a motive power, scores of engines and ve hicles propelled by engines, were Invented and experimented with, both in Kurope and America.. This continued development of tho "steam carriage, was in response to the demand for a better tractive power than horses; and. as the construction of the so-called tram roads was considerably in advance of the practical development of the "steam carriage, tha early types of locomotives wsrs numerous in response to this demand. - , Among the early types of locomotives several are worthy of note: Trevlthlck.' In UQt, built ft second locomotive; Matthew Murray in 1SU. built for John Blenklnsop a locomotive which worked by a tooth wheel on ft rack rail; William Itedley, after a aeries of experiments to determine tha sufficiency for railroad operation of the ftdhesloa between smooth vheels and pyyn r.
