A lady living in one of the suburbs of New York has a One large English setter whq is constantly amazing her by some unexpected and original trait of character. About a month ago be came frisking into her room just before breakfast, and laid down gently at her feet a fresh, newly laid egg. Laughingly She picked It up, won dering how he could have obtained it (for ue kept no chickens) and aiao how he could have carried it in bis mouth without breaking it. . Taking it to the kitchen (the dng follow ing and seemingly extreme!; interested as to what she proposed doing with his treas ure trove), she said to the cook, "Jim hits brought me a present; please noarii it for uy breakfast." The intelligent brote watched the processof its preparation with eager interest, and if ever dog showed and felt conscious pride, it was exhibited by "dim" as he deiigliiedly watched his be loved mistress eating his egg. To the lady's great surprise, the next morsiug he nguin appeared with ha dainty gift, aud, altaongh see feared it was stolen property, his mistress had not the heart to disnppoiut him by not baring it conked for her breakfast.

In outward appearance w new loco motive will not differ materially from the speedy engines now used, The pe culiarity of construction lies in the fact that instead of the twocylinders as used at present there will be four. One cylin der will be located on oaoh side of the locomotive frame a at ptesent, aud the other two will be oast in what is known as the cylinder saddle. The inside pair of cylinders are to be in one piece and will lie on an augle. The outside cylin ders are to lie horisontal as at present The fonr cylinders will entirely over come what is known to engineers as the dead center, and the engine will be per fectly balanced without any counter balance in the wheels. This latter improvement will, to a large degree, do away with the viinotu noundiug which lias proved so destruc tive to modern roadbeds. The perfect lsilancing of the engine will lie largely due to the working of the two cylin ders so near her ceuter, and these same cylinders, working as they do from eocb a central point of vantage, will help out in the matter of speed to a great degree.

Selling this ut ninety-live cents per bushel the young farmers realized 500.
