Thia ia plainly obylous even to an vutaider. Col. T. W.

Corruptfon in the sdministration of Amer- fean rafiwaya s, unfortunately, no new phe- nomenon, ms English investors are log well aware, but hitherto it has not aronsed the nanger of the workingmen. The reason fs not far toseck. Downto 1873 the prosperity of the United States was unpar- slleied, Money was made with unexampled ease, and was spent with unexsmpled profu- sfon, Industrial enterprise et at naught all bounds of prudence, and, alded by the capital of the Oid World, spread over the conth nent. No suspicion appeared to he fcit that these days of feverish activity could not last forevér, Extravagance was fostercd by the paper-money aystem which in- flated nominal incomes, while, at the same time, the burden of taxation was increased two-fold, three-fold, and four-foll. Every State and munlrlp-l[!y. every raiiway and fusurance con panv, began to spend money on public butld- ings and other outward signs of magnificence, The commercial crisis of 1873 touched this mass of {llusion witk a wand of disenchant- ment, Every man found himselldeéprived of the resources of an unnatural systewmn of credit and the opportunities of a morbid energy In thie community.

At noon yesterday the Professor grovefully glided out from a group of fricnds, and in a secund was whirling In the mazy wallz with his partner, Miss Sadic Lovoldtl, There were very few spectators in the hali to chicer Mr. Cartier at the beginning of the long work before him, but atill he procecded witn his task as iC his whole heart and soul were in It and moved about with an caso and grave that showed him at once tobe an expert, It was soon felt that New-Year's Day was a bad ono to select toattracta crowd of patrons to the exhibition, for during the after- noon the visitors wero not very numerous, and were for the most part persounl friends of the Professor. A piano and violin suppiied the musie, which wras uot allowed to weary the duncers by same- nees, aud two canary birds, splendid siugers, statloned near the piano, made the ball cheerful with their notes nnd secimed never to tiro ot thelr accompaninent, By the arrangements mage, Mr. Cartler had always ready for himn tralned partner from among a number of bis ownr puolly, and to_the lady who hind danced with him longest & bandeome gold badgu was presented after midoight a8 o souvenir of her accomplisbment. On the border of the badge oti n green grouud, was the Inscription, * Paticutla Saltandl,’” which means a compliment to the lndy's patience fu Lelng whirled around for a longer tiine than her sivals wers able .to hold ous, Very few amateur dancers were ou the llour until the gas wasligh ed [n the evening, und then somo few couples onee tn awhile ullowed the spirlt to move them, and the monotony of the exhibitlon was thereby o Httle relleved. " There wis a marked contrast in the conduct of these couples, who made brief spurt and then rested, when eeen side by slde with the steady verformance of the Pro- fessor, who scemed (0 wove arcund ke a pleco of wmachinery, bis feet never fulterlug, and every atep belng exactly the one i the same maovement that preceded it Mr, Cartier, it wus stated by his fricndas in the hall, found it much easler t walte than to walk, the dance costing him farless muscular strain thou wonld the same amount of pedestrian axcrcise, Bud this would ecem to be the truth, for hie dunced from voon until tive minutes of G o'clock without even taking n glass of water or any nourlshment atall. At the latter hour be touk a fiitle beef- tea, butdid uotstopa second In his round for the purposs, quletly awallowing tho moutnful whitlo his fecs wers in motion, - At half-past U o’clock he took another glasaful ol beel tea, and a few times again before midaight, When fio had completed his seventh hour there was o fair nuinber of speetators present, and he was hmvlllyw}ll ded. As the elghth hour was announced Mr. Cartler mado a littls murt‘ and some one cried out, “The champlon still," aud this created a cheer. The Professor was now looking a Mttle pale in the face, but otherwlise was quite as fresh in motlon and his attitude na graceful gs when Le started at noon- tie. s rival, Mr. Barron, who recently duuced for elzht conseeutivo huurs, cutered the hall just aa Mr. Carticr was about passing into the ninth hour, and as he promised, according to » rumor that went round, tq do a great feat at some future thne, it ia likely some one will bo waltzing for fourteen or sixteen hours before the scason is over, The pariners selected by Mr. Cartier were, of courso, atl first-rate asncers, and though entire- Iy unaccustomed to such o severs strain upon thetr powors of cadurance, showed wonderful pluck under the strain, But the vasu with which the ladics went through thelr part in the perlorinance was onl{ o portion of Mr. Cartler's programme, for ho claims than danclug Is only & form of athlctics, oud that it {s the abuse of the art by its practice in late hours that s cul- pable and not tho fatigue or wearlncas that is complained of ns artslug from tho exercise it~ self.

Sl—In your timely editcrial In the issuc of the 26th inst, entitled «Country Roads and Wagon Tires," you say that the Northern half-breeds wmuke constant and successiut uso of wide-tired whccls, and let me help you to an llustration in kind, It ot so much nearer home, at least amougst & people who would justly scorn the imputation of half- breed. In Eastern Pennsylvants, wheels whose tread range from four tu six {nches fn width bave been used for a alf century at least, matuly on farms, so ns not to cut up the wcudows and pastures ln the drawing of heavy loads over them, sud so have acquired the distinctive name « Plantation Wagon.” ‘These wera douuted o necessity upon farms and on muddy or very sandy roads, ond upon the turnulkes there- abouts were regarded with such favor as to pass toll free. 1. have driven guch a wagon over miry or muddy places, heavily foaded, nud drawn by six horses, whero it would have been wholly lin- possibie to have used one with the cominon or parrow tire, ‘Two days since I londed up with elehteen Lushels of coal upen my common Western wagon, and with four horses had the utmost difficulty in getting home, o matter ot six miles, and I'om positive that I could have hauled at least twiee os much with greater cas@p had iny wagon been broad-tired. 1t i o mistake to supposc that the wheels need be maude any heavler or more clulu? Tlhe same amount of wood in- the felloe, differently shapen, would Lo equally strong.

Btill less can they enlis any popular luurun for tholr warfare on the Civil- Bervice policy of Ythe President. 1In fact, they are fully awaro of thia At tho ontaet. For they dars not openly attack that policy, which s Lhe real only cause of their thostility to tha President, and fll!{ are, thorefore, obllged to seck pretexts for their declarations of war in the adsurd protense that ho is respaoneihle for the overthrow of the Ho- ruh)ltlll party in tha Bouth, Lot them commence heir war, then, when they cho ind uwr will s To the Edilor of The Tridune, Caino, 1L, Dee, 20.~The publication in your paper of my plan for tho coustruction of n steam ongine to economize the use of fuel and water, and also econowlzing In quantity of metal and welght of materfal, deserves not only my individual thanks, but that of the community at large; for whethor carrled vut suceessfully or not on the exact plan I havo outlined, the power is ascertained to bo found there, even thouch dotalls may be modified, or altered, or improved to sult constructlon or harmony ot working parts. Let any englnoer who questlons this power take a gun-barrel, one ounto bore, and fit thereto a plston with concave end sufliclent to hold threa drops of water, and attach to the other cud of the rod, which should be a lttle longer than the gun barrel, fifty pounds solld fron welght, its centro of gravity over the centre of the rod standing vertleally, Take a flm of tissue paper and wax ft, atd placo {t over the concave end of the plston to confing the water when_the piston s dropped foto the gun barrcl, Now coustruct a sec- tion of a cylinder onc iuch long, plain at the base,” ond nt the other end of s convexity to suit the concavity of thoend of the piston: lot dne-third of tho centre of the convex surface at the top of the cona be Al(gnu{‘coucnw. To the tube of the gun-barrel aitach any smallsyringo or alr-pump; give it one depression after you have entercd the plston in the gun-barrel, standing vertically. Hefore entering the plston, which should not be over three Inches In length, the rod connectin with tho welght above, of onc-third the size, of steel it convenfent, with & button fn the bore to hold t parncnflluulurl}yl: hcat the sec- tion of a cylinder described red-hot, allowing in ita conatruction for a slight increase In size by expansion; drop or rain It hoine to the botton of the bore; then enter the viston, glve ono de- pression of the air-pump, and drop the piston with the weight at the top, which drives it down upon the heated button at the bottom, and, ut thie moment it inlringes thereon, the film of ts- site-papor Is dostroyed, and the threo drops of water are {nstantly converted into steam, with only space enough for one drov of cold water touecupy. The result is, tho welght is lifted to give tho'steam roum to cxpand, the helght betng determined by tho perfectlon ot the piston or avoldance of unnecessary friction, and the com~ pletoness of the fitting of the red-hot button or section at the bottom of the bore. I my experlence with one drop of water, 1 have estimated the lift to be na{’ pounds one- third of an fnch high, aud then I belicve & por- tion of the power was Just in incomplete fit- tings. ‘This ls a great achlevement, aud tho re- sult desired {s the construction of an engine that will use its steam os fast as it is produced, and no mote or less,—thus avolding the Jargo reservolr of steam {n cumbersome bollers, or the uecesslty of Iarge boller or furnace. Homio englneers nay be disposed to call in question the secming paradox of ono plut of water dolng tho same duty as ten or twenty gallons, or 3sk how one wan can pushas hard as twenty Inen—no matter how small a place you -squceze him {nto. Lot ma illustrate this' by asking in turn If every engineer does not know that o zallon of water three inclics from the eround has but trifling pressuro compared to o gallon 100 fect from the ground, vertically, with a pipe in each ot like diamotor or hollow tubo and orifice] In the matter fo question the cn- gines have the hundred men strung out, ono be- Thind the otheor, pushing tho forward mun agalst the pleton, while L put the hundred men into oneani tell him to_“spread bimself,' some- thing like Californla Joe did_with the grizzly- bear. He and he found the bear was bound to catch him, sud he wheeled ot the angle of a big rock, braced and spread blinsel, and 2 the bear Jjumped he swallowed him. 4 But, Jukes asdy, it one drop of water will make (or [tself room where there 13 compara- tively none when converted into steam. the continued sddition of other dropa will cuntinue 1o mnake more room in the cylinder until the force is suflicient for tho apace which it ia de- sired the piston should move, In the larze bollers as now mado much of thostcam is, in & rcuse, inactive, and, after all, only so much as occuples the cylinder does lfla work, for after the *cut-0fl * nio englneer would expoct that, it port. Yet, gigautlc as was this corporation, It has becn crushed by® two most Jualgntficant acel- dents—eats and women, The revenucs of the Mudson Bay Company were derived almoat en- tirely from its sala of furs. It supplicd tha en- tire world with these. The ladics of 1ashion in London, Parls, Now York, even in far distant Moscow, sported capes and mulls of fts Canadian sables. The monop- iy of this busihess was a mosy vrofitablo one, wiien, alas! fashivus changed. Costly furs are not uear as fashiouable now as they were a score of yeors ago. This change of fashion was a heavy blow to the Company, but It still survived 1t until some wretch discovered that cat fur could be converted futo tho best sables, and that rat sking would do just as well as mink. This simn- ple dluflvcr{ has wrecked the most ‘mwurhll corporationin the world, o corporation that was, to all [utents aud purposes, an Independent cpire, with a dowmaln larger than any kKingdon of Europe, Cat akina tinished what fashion had begun, For a number of years past, since theso imitatlon furs lave been on the market, the Hudson Bay Company has falled to pav divi- dends on tts immense capital, gnd has oven as- sesscd its inembers for mouey to carry on its affairs, Its forts are fast goluz to ruin, its trade has Jung sluce censed, ‘and now that thers 18 no money in the Lusing the Hudson Bay Cowmpany I8 extremely an: s to retire alto- gether from the feld aud throw up its charter. ke, “ie disussion of this matter is made hnrnm- tiva now by our mud embargo, and heuce liese Tinea to hold up your hands fu a good caise, and fib the hopo tiat tho next sud blockado may find us better prepared to succusstully ralse it, It gives us Joy to read what you say each week and every week about the *doliar of our fathers,” aud we hope vou will continue so to do, und tight tho baitle-to a auccesstul, issue, until the bondnotder und cach poor wreteh of & fatmer or laburer may haudlethosame m\mlgifly dollar. 8.J.
