But why tli« locomotive of tlui Aitura T Of ell the |)ri^luou of modern tnoohaniool tikdiinthriitg, the uturt com- , ptal*, hoeutilui end (wrfkut is the rail way locomotive. Yet it it now, in itb developed atalc, tke whh* in pfiltCipW it wm« * hen firot in I roil need. Thru id 'thop of bre no raaaon to anticipate that* tke locomotive of tho future will be different from, the locomotive of the ]»re*#nt day, except, porhup*. we to sbe and jh«* arrangement of new detail of ; evil *t ruction to belter adapt it to the n<KWMitiee of the increasing railway t rutin*. It ie already one of those, ma chino* which best «lwp!uv the splendid joaaibiittie* of inventive genius. At the celebrated competitive trial of locomotive* at Kumhill, on the Liver* , ptjol and Main hotter Kail way, in 1*29. when Stki'ii f nuo.s and Erbkt"»x con tended for the prise ottered, tUejr, enpiiae were distinguUhed by the wine featured which appear now in every lo cotliouve eonstructed. Powerful com buation «»f tho fuel in the fire boi. j . cuusch! by tTie exhaust 'draught, and aiultitubular boilers, which gi\e great heating surfuco in a small space, have always been tho characteristic features of the locomotive. It 1ms been made! larger during the half century siuco th© competition In 1*29, iu details have been vastly improved because of the Inrrciising perfection of machines and tools/aiid the mere durable steel has •been substituted" f*»r wrought iron, for •instance, in the making of tires for tho driving wheels and in the coiut ruction j of the fire toxea. But these ur« only improvements. In principlo the ma- • chine is the mime now as it was in 1829. The most important change in the locomotive made in tho half century since tht trial at Rainhill was the contrivance of American engineers. Il L the bogie truck, a sort of frame which carries the forward wheels, and enables the locomotive to pass easily around sharp curves, which would be danger nu* if the entire wheel base of the en* gino was rigid. The bogie truck was contemporary with the very beginning of American railway practice, and was devised to meet the exigencies of our railroads, which were distinguished by sharper curved than those in use in I Rnropo. . It is now, howeVcr, .largely • used abroad, nnd its adoption, is becom* ' ing more nnd more general there, while in the United Slates it is universally j employed on tho roads. The main question to which the London "Knginoer" addresses itself is. that of the feasibility and the means of con- § i rue ting locomotives which shall draw trains at a higher continuous rate of speed than is now customary. But the question can readily be answered by any locomotive builder. That our railroads can get such locomotives if they want thorn is indisputable. The only

question is whether it would pay to buy them. Greater speed requires more perfect roads, better rails, and straight* er linos, all vorv costly. • j We already have on tho Pennsylvania Rtilroad, between New- York ami Philadelphia, the most powerful paanon- I g.-r engines in the world. They carry their heavy trains between tho tw.» cities, a distance of ninety mile*, in less than two hours, making a single stop at Trenton. They could easily make the trip at the rate of more than sixty miles an hour. They could, moreover, run 151) miles at this speed without « •top, so great is their boiler snd cylin d«r capacity, and the troughs from which locomotives bit fn*t trains now scoop iijs water furnishing tlivln with 1 material for st^aru. f>g> consider* tY>s 7m*- 1 lion whether trains, for instance, could • be run from York or l>cds to London without a stop, and at tho r.ite of fiftyfive miles mi hour. This would* being Ie rds within three and a half Hours of London, while the time from York would be ft little tii'iM, Certainly that Can b>» lone with tb»* aid of troughs, from which the locomotives can drsw water while they ere in motion. When it peys the companies to run such train* and there is • public dvvriand for them, 1 they will !>e provided. And so we shall get similar trains here when they can be made profitable. The locomotive of the present it entirely equal to its work, provided it liar steel rails to run over, and a track In perfect condition. But the roads do not see their profit in making the necessary preparations for such continuous speed as a customary matter, and in subjecting their rools to the additional w<»ar and tear it would involve. Whan you talk of fifty-five miles an hour for three or four hours running, there is no need of looking forward to the loeomolive of the future. The beautiful machine* wc have now can do the work.

I r w » • «• Worth Knowing . » 'v— ' There Is a place in Philadelphia where a stranger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew the whole city by heart ; and if he knows nothing about the value of cloths, or of clothes, he is as well off, as if he were a good judge of I both. The reason is that everything to be found there is made there — made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which corrects them, If they do occur. Oak Hall is the place; and its practice may be 1

This means a great deal more than appears on the . surface. It means that you are not going to get what you Will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it It means that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly ' made; and that they will cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means that they will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these things — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sowing, or in any way dishonest or illiberal dealing; the return of bis goods will plague the merchant, injure nis credit, and dissipate his trade. If it means these things — If it means liberal and honorable- dealing, valuable ahd trusty clothing, ease and safety in getting it, Oak Ha^l is the place for you to go to, or to send to j and it is worth your while to know how ydu can send, if it is inconvenient | to go. Write; say what your I occupation is ; say what ; sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether for every-day wear or otherwise ; what color you prefer, or what color to avoid ; say about what you want to pay ; say everything that you think may aid a stranger in choosing for you. You will get in reply samples of cloths and prices of whatever you want made from those cloths. You will get -j also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. There is only one difficulty left. Somebody has got to take the risks of the dealing ; for there are risks. Send your money along with your order. That • covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk everything else ; the fit, and your satisfaction every way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year ; there's no reason why it shouldn't . amount to five millions.
