Tho railroad spirit had reached the village of Mackinaw with its exciting accompaniment of land speculation. Buyers, whose resources of wealth were reported as inexhaustible, began pur chasing every available farm in the county. As Peter Dowd was the larg est owner in the township, many were the bidders for his possessions, but no body ever offered him. his "price," whiclt was always increased five or ten dollars per acre whenever a new appli cant appeared. The woman who had married him on account of his wealth soon found herself mistress of toil and poverty instead. The niggardly habits of which she had apparently cured him while she had held legal advantage as his hired help, when both were perse cuting Ellen Dowd, returned In double intensity after their marriage. No Intercourse wa3 permitted by Peter Dowd between the families. Once only, during the hard, cold winter that fol lowed the divorce and marriage, Polly escaped from home aud sought a secret interview with the one woman on earth who of all others might have consist ently scorned her. "I periled my own soul to get that man in my power so I might get my boy," poor Polly .sobbed. "And now though Peter is worth his tens of thous ands and I toil like a galley slave, I can't control one cent. O, my boy, would that you wore Indeed dead, dead, dead.' Your poor mother would give her life to see youl" Ellen calmly remonstrated. "You have other duties as a mother now. Your little waif at home cannot be taken from you. Iet your mother heart go out to him." "But, O Ellen, can't you help me to get my. boy? Pve lately heard from the old farmer who led me into the Lands of the law that took him from me, and he says that for one hundred dollars he will be given up. iero I am the slave-wife of a man worth tens of thousands, and I must cook and wash for railroad men to keep up family ex mnsBs. and can't control a hundred dollars.

"If you had not been wicked, you know" "There."' she Interrupted. "Don1 twit me with my wickedness. I have trouble enough, God knows! My pun- lsument is greater than I can bear!" "I believe it is, poor child!" was the quiet reply. "You shall have a hund red dollars to regain your boy. Here's u rou oi uius amounting to that sum, mure, uon-i mank me.

Wonders in science and improvements in mechanism will never ceae at least we hone not. One of tlie mo9t im portant and interesting subjects to the people Is that of improving upon and cheapening tlie motor powers used for Fropelling car.s on horse railroads, forses are expensive and slow; the dummy engines hitherto used are noisy and in some respects dangerous. Our attention hns been called to a new in vention, whereby it is claimed to be al ready demonstrated mat compressed air can be employed ns a motor power with more emciency anu economy man any other agency yet employed. Some of me statistics and experiments are rather startling. The Inventor of this new machinery is the well known Hor ace II- Day, of New York now, how ever, temporarily residing in this city and it is claimed not only by Mr. Day, but by scieutiuc engineers and practical mechanics and railroad men that Mr. Day Iia3 really perfected a system of rapid transit, which enables him to transport, by the agency of compressed atr, 41 passengers 11: miles at a cost tor fuel less or man 10 cents ror tno whole distance.

The follow ing card, with tho estimates of his engi neer, will be read witli interest: THE COST OF COMPRSSSHD AIR ON CITY R.UI.- IIOADS AS SUBSTITUTE KOK IIO.I3.F--i. New Yokic, July 7, 1S73. In response lo a request from Mr. Beach, of the Pneumatic Railroad Com pany, for the estimate of the cost of fuel ror running my air power car on ins proposed road, 1 reported from twelve to sixteen cents per hour as the certain outside limit of the cost to run a car seating forty-four passengers. This re port was deemed too indetinitc, aud likely to be far inside tlie actual cost, and he calls for the elements of calcula tion, whereupon my engineer lias called upon Mr. Beach, and now furnishes the following report, which I print for tlie edification of all concerned, renewing my own conviction that I t an perform more than double the service: that is. I can, by the adoption of tny system of rapid transit, transport double the mau ler of passengers upon the Greenwich Street Elevated Hal-road, (with cars leaving eacli station every five minutes) than can be done by steam as now used, without increasing the aggregate cost. It will require but superficial calculation to show that the air power would not reach oue-slxth of the cost of horses, for the transportation of a like number of passengers, now moved uy horse power on ordinary city railroads, and the engine by which this can be done is the newly invented "Mauley Engine," which weiclis less than H50 pounds, and works air expansively, in a manner bet ter than by any engine ever before built. Hokace H. Day, CI Liberty street, New York, Enrinccrs' Daft, Compressed Air Jvwer Co., JLtciamater iron Xciu York, July Assuming a car with its passengers and machinery at twelve tons, moving Ii! miles per hour, or lOoii leet per minute, the tractive force at 10 pounds per ton equals la) pounds, then lajx 1050.33000 equals 3.S4 horse power, actual duty; if we now add 20 percent. for loss or engine or I-o of 3.S4, it will stand as follows: 3.84-5 equals 77, and .S4x77 equals 4.G1 engine power, in cluding its own friction. If we take Mr. Beach's estimate that t will require six times this power to pump the air necessary to drive the car engine of 12 tons inclusive, then 4.01x6 equals 27.Wi horse power, say isa norse power, and 23 horse power obtained by an expansive high-pressure engine, non-condensing, no steam jacket, using pea coal at $2 50 per ton, will not ex ceed 2.73 pounds of coal per liorse per hour. 2.7ox'JS equals 77 pouuus, anu 2210.77 equals 29, aud S2 50 tlie cost price ota ton ot pea coal tiiviueii oysa equals S.G2-100 cents per hour, as the cost of running a car of 12 tons, as above, at 12 miles per hour. Note an engine which I put up worked regularly with out exceeding this cost per hour, high pressure, expansive, aim no steam acket. Air. lieach admits mat Eng lish high pressure engines, with steam jackets, have not cxceedet&two pounds of coal per horse power per hour, and I maintain that miiii pressure, expansive and condensing engines with steam jacket can be made to do full duty, year nrter vear. nurnintr rea coal anu not ex ceed oneantionc-uaii pounds oi coat per horse power per hour. uy itoyccs mode oi compressing air, the loss resulting from the heat ot com pression necessarily must be greatly diminished. Witli asurface refrigerator aud abundance of cold water, and the condensation being effected at two oper ations, tho saving from loss should be double that resulting from compression with one cylinder only, and if tue com press is accomplished at three opera- lir.no llinn ttm lr.&a i-oalllttnrf frrtryi llpnt h.Jl7, -u .ujj wjui w..n ..V... ..WHW should be three times less than the loss from one cylinder, and tins loss by heat being the greatest of all losses to contend against. A great saving oCyower must result from tins mode or compression; bv careful experiment onIycan the amount of this saving be correctly de termined, but it may be roughly esti mated that at least two-thirds of the loss resulting from heat may be saved by this means. Taking this view, I be lieve that the compressed air ueing worked expansively (.the inverse of com pression), that 20 per cent, would be an ample allowance for loss from heat; 20 per cent would be also ample for loss In air engine driving tho car, aud 10 per cent, for leakage and stoppages, making a loss of 30 per, cent, altogether; there fore it would reasonably ' appear that a good engine with every advantage, running constantly and doing a duty of 10 horso power, should compress su ffi cient air to run a 12 ton car.

If wo now contrast this with the prac tice hitherto adopted, viz: compressing tlie air with a common non-expansive engine, consumingat least 0 to 8 pounds of coal per hour, per H.

S. Henson. To H. H. Day, Esq. A Brave "Woman. Long Island has a heroine, and her name deserves to be connected with Ida Lewis. Tlie Sim tells of two men, John Mason and a friend, whose boat cap sized last Friday afternoon, near Eaton's Neck light, opposite tho residence of Mr. Couklin, a farmer. When the cries for help were heard, we learn from tho account In the Sun that Mr. Conklin was away from home, and there were only three women and a little boy in the house. All rushed to the beach and sw tho stnigglo of the drowning man, but for a moment they were so paralyzed that neither of them had presence of mind enough to make a movement to aid him. Then Miss Lucinda Conklin, without stopping to consult her mother or sister, wailed out into tlie bay, deter mined to make one effort to save Ma son. At this part of the bay the beach is broad and shelves out very gradually. so that the brave woman was enabled to wade within a few feet of Mr. Mason. But as she moved forward, clearing tho ice from her path, the water deepened little by little until at last when she was only eight or ten feet from the man she sought to save, only her head was above the water. By this time Mason showed signs of exhaustion. He clung to the Ice for so long a time, that his hands had become numb and almost powerless, and Miss Conklin saw by his ellorts to relieve his hands by placing his elbows on the cake of ice, that his chances of life were not worth a minute's purchase. With a heriosm seldom, if ever paralleled, she made a plunge into the deep water, and with a few vigorous strokes readied tlie drown ing man. Although exhausted, he was still sensible, and faithfully obeyed the instructions givou him uy tne urave woman. She had warned him against seizing hold of her in such a manner as to impede her motions; so when she reached him, he placed his hands on her shoulders, and in a few seconds, thanks to her good swimming, both stood neck deep in the ice-cold water and began wading shoreward. As Atiss Conklin reached the shore, she fainted away and was carried to the house by her relatives. .Mason, nearly frozen to death, following in their wake. Miss Couklin was thoroughly exhausted by her exertions, as well as by the tremen dous excitement under which she had labored, and did not recover for two or three days. Mason's companion stuck manfully to the keel of tho boat, and In due courso of time was hauled ashore. Miss Conklin is a young lady, of about the average size; but her country train ing has imparted for her much more than the average strength of her sex. Although not beautitul, she is spoken of as interesting aud jriquantc in style, nnd is very popular in the neighborhood in which she resides. The Woman Snflragists. We find all these good tilings in the New York Commercial Advertiser: When a jurist as eminent as Judge Henry It. Selden testifies that he told Miss Anthony before election that she had a right to vote, aud thi3 after a care ful examination of the question, the whole question assumes new import ance, aud Mr. Selden at once becomes the central object of adoration by all the gentle believers in woman's right to the ballot. And when the same able iaw- yeradvocates the cause of Miss Anthony m the l imed States Lourw, there is ibuudant reason why other men, both lay and legal, should put themselves in an attitude at least of willingness to change their convictions upon this topic, which now threatens to take on very enlarged proportions. Tne points made Iu the argument by Mr. Selden are that the defendant had a legal right to vote; mat even it no such rignt ex isted, it sue oeueved sue had such a right, and voted in such faith, that she committed no olieuse; and lastly, ho argued, that she did vote in pursuance of such belief. The point that Miss An thony had acted illegally only because she was a woman, was well put. Had her brother, under the same circum stance, done the same thing, his act would have been not only innocent but laudable. The crime was, therefore, not in the act done, but in tlie sex of the person who did it Women, remarked the Judge, have the same interest in the maintenance of good government as men. No greater absurdity, to use no harsher term, can be presented to the human mind than that of rewarding men and punishing women for tho same act, without giving women any voice In the question of which shall be re warded aud which punished. How grateful to Judge Selden must all the sullragists be! He has struck the strongest and most promising blow in their behalf that hasyet been given. Dred Scott was the- pivot on which the Constitution turned, before the war. Mis3 Anthony peems likely to occupy a similar position now. Poultry KBErns'o tor Women: There are many women who, especially within the last half-dozen years, while the price of eggs lias beett'stf high, make money much faster by tending poultry than by sowing. It is an occupation especially suited to women, because it involves patience and constant details rather than strength. Then, again, the hardest thing for many men to learn, in handling either poultry or bees, is gentleness. How many times we have seen boys, and men with no more sense than boys, jerk hens roughly from their nests, euter the poultry houses abruptly and frighten the occupants till they rush into tho furthest corner, and keep the poultry community in constant agi tation and distress. But all domestic animals appreciate the manners of fe male attendants, when they are fortu nate enough to be cared for by them. fCnw ttiorn nm Tvnmpti mirdetiers aud florists who, by commendable industry and business qualities, have risen to eminence in these callings, and while ono of tho most successful beekeepers iu the world is a woman, we : hope to see SL"' from 11 11U3 JllUlCll" nrofU tho keeping ot uuc iun.j Panov is elesant pastime, very popular withJEtHanf ladles, and we see no rea son wtiy the fashion should not bo adopted in this country;-ExK
