The engine was directly behind the
boiler and consisted of two 13-inch
single-acting cylinders. The move
ment of the piston was transmitted
to the axle o f the driving wheel by two
ratchet wheels. The engine could be
reversed at will. There was a steer

miles an hour. Napoleon Bonaparte

a colored man who left his South Caro
line home to become a barber In an
Illinois city.
Not long afterward a
negro was lynched in this town, and
fear* of a “ race riot" were entertained.
A customer entering the shop found
the barber packing up his tools, and
learned that he proposed to return to
South Carolina.
