Chicago, March 1. Announcement is made of the discovery of a new re markable motor known as the "triple thermic motor." The new motor power is the vapor of bisulphide of carbon.

It has been in practical use in driving a sixty horee power engine for nix month past in the cement pav ing manufactory on West Forth-sixth street, New York. The diooery of the means of applying the new power and tho inventor of the machinery adapted to its use, is W. L. Colwell, formerly of Pittsburg, who it is claimed has been at work many years on the application of the same material from which tho vapor is generated. Bisulphide of carbon is a discovery of the last century.

The force and power of the vapor and its applications, far surpasses that of steam and its application, and regulation is already under more perfect and safer control than steam. The invention of discovery consists in evolving the bisulphide of carbon into a vapor for operating machinery by generating heat in a generator and transfering it into a vessel containing the bisul phide of carbon. The latent heat of the steam is utilized into vapor, only 118 degrees being necessary to produce this vapor. A prominent engineer of Chicago, giving the result of his examination of the new motors says: I saw a fifteen-horse power boiler with a very little fire under it generating steam which generated the new motor, which in turn ran an engine of sixty horse power." A syndicate has been formed which controls the invention and all its patents, with a capital stock of twenty five million, of which million dollars have already en on stock. Ex-Gov Hublwird, ol Texas, and Collector Baird, of Boston, are mentioned motor syndicatl1" Where do Sponges Come Front There are a great number of different kinds of sponges besides those of the shops, and some are to be found in nearly every sea, though they have so little resemblance to what you ordinarily see that you would hardily suppose them to be related.

The finer kind come from the Levant and Mediterranean, while the coarser sort are from the WeBt Indies and Florida. The Turks gather them by diving, while the sponge-Ushers of the islands along the coast of Greece use a kind of fork having barbed tines fixed to the end of a long pole. Those collected with the fork are apt to be injured. Be? sides, the finest kind are found in water fifty feet or more deep and can only be reached by diving. To prepare the sponges, they are covered with sand when the jelly-like portipn soon decays; after this is removed they are thoroughly washed anil dried.

The finest Quality of sponge is very costly. It is sold by weigh! and the dealers at Smyrna, the prini make it hold a great deal of very fine sand. Indeed, when a case is opened and the sponges are beaten, the sauu American Agriculturist. emaiice of a Practical Young Man. San Frnnciwo Chronicle.

A rich man has a plain and unat tractive daughter, to whom no eligible young fellows pay much attention. At last one beau is noticed to be rather "gone," and the love affair develops for a couple of weeks. Then to him the father: "Young man, I notice you are paying very marked attention to my daughter?" The young man stammers ond stutters, taken aback. "Do not be alarmed. I am will-ing you should.

I may tell you that the day I give you my daughter I will place $100,000 in the bank to your account" -YoR arevery kind, I'm aure. But if it's all tho same to yon, supposing you put your daughter in the bank to my account and give me the 1100,. 000?"

Two ther convicts interfered, and oneVwas so bndly cut with a knife Rande parried that he may die.

He was finally tnibdued and an officer was taking him to his quarters when he seized a hammer and attacked him, and would haw killed him but for another convict. He fought desperately, and although shot twice, was with diSiculity conquered without being seriously hurt himself. There are instances when the ends of justice will be subserved and the convict suitably punished by a life sentence at hard labor, but what there was or could be in the long criminal record of such a man as Rande that should command him to the tender mercies of a jury i to see.

It is about twenty miles by wagon road from Atchison, and twenty-two from Hiawatha. The country tributary to Huron is tilled by an intelligent, energetic, enterprising class of farmers whose interests all lie in the upbuild ing of Huron. This, together with other natural advantages, such as coal, tine roads, accounts for its rapid growth, and the marvelous business done by its business men. Huron acknowledges no rival among the smaller towns around it, and we guarantee to prove to any gentleman seeking a business location, that the amount of stuff shipped, both to and from Huron, is twice that of any town near its size in Northern Kan sas. Its proximity to Atchison assures Atchison prifjgV Ik "i lip I Vll''ll Hi it, and it Aimiifsbn' prohibits the sale of farm products, handise there.

Coal miners, tinners, carpenters, blacksmiths, shoemakers, brickmakers, masons, plasters and painters will also find room. Factories for the manufacture of farm implements, sash, blinds and doors, and other small wares, will do no bettor than to locate here.
