— Kossuth has nearly ready for publication three additional 

 volumes of his raemoirs. They are said to contain, among other 

 things, his remarks upon the policy of Napoleon III. toward the 

 Vienna Court, and upon the endeavors of the Pope to retain his 

 secular power. 



— " Midnight Talks at the Club " is the title of a volume shortly 

 to be published by Fords, Howard, & Hulbert. It is made up 

 chiefly of a series of articles under the same title from the Sunday 

 issues of the New York Times, which excited a good deal of in- 

 terest when they first appeared, and of an article entitled ''A 

 Protest against Dogma," by the same author, Amos K. Fiske, 

 which attracted much attention in a recent number of The Forum. 

 These papers contain free and candid discussions of various re- 

 ligious, social, political, and moral questions that interest thinking 

 people of the present day. 



INDUSTRIAL NOTES. 

 The Abbe High-Speed Steam-Engine. 



A STEAM-ENGINE of norel design is shown in the accompanying 

 illustrations. It is of the three cylinder tyi^e, and is being intro- 

 duced to the notice of power users by the Abbe Steam Engine 

 Company of this city. The cylinders are arranged around a cen- 

 tral crank-chamber, equidistant from each other. The pistons, 

 which are single-acting, are connected direct to the crank-pin, the 

 piston itself acting as a cross-head, and a siuiple device being pro- 

 vided for taking up all wear or lost motion at the crank-pin and 

 connecting-rod. 



The inner bearing of the crank- shaft is located in a partition 

 separating the crar.k-chamber from the valve-chamber. In this 

 partition are also located the steam and exhuust passages leading 

 to and from the cylinders. The valve, which revolves with the 

 crank-shaft, is at the back of this partition, being so balanced 



that there is just sufiScient excess of steam-pressure on one side to 

 keep it up to its seat without undue friction. 



To provide for thorough lubrication of all working parts in the 

 crank-chamber, a quantity of oil is placed in the lower part of 

 the chamber, each revolution of the crank distributing it to all 





parts. The valve and valve-chamber are lubricated in tho usual 

 manner by oil carried in by the steam. 



As the engine has no dead centre, it can be started with the 

 crank in any position; and as the cylmders take steam only at 

 one end, the connecting-rods are always in compression; so that. 



of pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypo- 

 phosphites of Lime and Soda Is 

 almost as palatable as milk. 

 Children enjoy It rather than 

 otherwise. A tVlARVELLOUS FLESH 

 PRODUCER It Is Indeed, and the 

 little lads and lassies who take cold 

 easily, may be fortified against a 

 cough that might prove serious, by 

 taking Scott's Emulsion after their 

 meals during the winter season. 

 Beware of suhstituiinits and imitotions.

A New Method of Treating Disease. 



HOSPITAL REMEDIES. 



Wliat are tliey ? There is a new departure in 

 the treatment of disease. It cun^i^ts in the 

 collection of the specifics used by noted special- 

 ists of Europe and America, and bringing them 

 within the reach of all Fur instance, the treat- 

 ment pur^ued by special physicians whi) treat 

 indigestion, stomach and liver troubles ouly, 

 wa> obtained and prepared. The treatment of 

 oiher physicians celebrated for curing catarrh 

 was procured, and so on till these tncompaiable 

 cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, 

 female weakness, rheumatism and nervous de- 

 biliiy. 



This new method of "one remedy for one 

 disease" must appeal to the common sense of 

 all sufferers, many of whom have experienced 

 the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the ab- 

 surdity 01 the claims of Patent Medicines wh'ch 

 are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single 

 bottle, and the use ol wh ch, as statistics prove 

 has ' iiined more stomachs than alcohol A cir- 

 cular desciibiUg these new reme(1ie> is sent free

 RemeOy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole pro- 

 prietors.
