In this arrangeihent a bldfk is secured to the piston rod, this block being prbvided with a diagonal slot, through which thd , crank pin passes. The slot, has con- ! bare fdges facing each other, and ia provided with d fecesS at each end. The slide valve is attached to a tod pivoted at the lower ends with tappets, against which the ends of the sliding block strike, thus reciprocating the slide valve rod. The levers from which iho rods aro suspended are provided with spring arms ftJr giving the desired degree of expansion. Ix the new rension building, at Washington, D.

The cvlinder, l4-inc11 aiflttfeMr and 24- inch stroke, is bolted t o a hollow ti'ihi- nion, with stuCUng box at the top foi ateam passage, and is provided on the bottom with a stud which is connected by a link with the tipper end of Iho fan shaft.

Sher- man became interested in the Fort Wavne and Chicago KaHroail, through tho\ relations of liis law firm with that corporation, and lived for some time in Chicago. He waa appointed .Judge ot the Xorthem District ot Ohio by President Johnson, bnt while cn the bench wrote letters demanding the payment of fees for services rendered before he was a .ludge, in connection with associates m railroad affairs. These letters came before tlie i»ublie in such a way as to cause retiections to l»e made uiKin liim as a .Inilgc, and he resigned, though advised bv those who knew the whole case to -lit and appeal to public justice upon all tho facts. Ho was a man of strong characteristii-s, and his sensitive- ness -was so keen that ho Buffered be- yond endurance, when men of coarser organiyation could have lived compla- centlv. He left a wife and two sons and two daughters. Tho eldest daughter is Mrs. Gen. Miles. The youngest is Mrs. Don Cameron. Mr. Lincoln gave the first intimation of a desire for re-election one evening in December, ISKt, when he sat chat- ting with Leonard Swett ot Chicago, and Thnrlow Weed ot Albany. Mr. Swett remarked: \I suppose you are thinking about a re-election?\ Mr. Lincoln replied: \Swett how did you know that the bee was buzzing about my ears? Until very recently I ex- pected to see the Union safe and the authoritv of the Government restored lieforo my term of service expired. But, ns the war has l>e«n prolonged. I confess that I should like t o see it out in this chair. I suppose that everybody in niv position finds some reason, good or bad. to gratify or excuse his am- bition.\ Mr. W'eed, who narrated tliis conversation, added that Mr. Lincoln was cot in favor of the nomination of .\ndrcw Johnson as Vice Tresident, but that his choice was Daniel S.

It «aa tm lb: BiUvwit ^'Shmmmr-^ SUiu There is very little, if any, real chamois skin sold in this country, though there are no imitations made here on account of the cheapness of the French and English goods. It ia said that there have not been a dozen ol chamois pelts imported here for at least a decade, for the simple reason that the chamois have become so scarce that a successful chamois hunt is oi rare occurrence. The nTiimsl, which inhabited the .\lpine regions of Central Europe, freiineats the wfldest and most inaccessible pealts and rarines of it. mountain home. The sport of the chamoia hunt waa at one time a very popular one, and expeditiona to the animal's browsing jilaces were in the past fre-iuently organized, and the few animals that existed between the snow line and the glacier line of the Alps - were so thinned out by these hunting larties that they are now veiy rare, ;n the entire year the total numlte^al chamois killed by the hunters was nine hundred and eighteen, and if the trade deoended upon the chamois for the commercial''shammy\ skin there would not have been enough skins thrown un the market in that year to give each imi>orting house in this country a liall skin. Time was when tho chamoia skin of the trade was genuine, but the scarcity of the luimal and the rapidlv growing demand for the ar- ticle neceiiitated a substitute, and thia was found in the skin of the common sheep, which now ma-i juerade* under the apjtearance and name of the orig- inal article. All the chamois skim* that are brought to this country coma from France or from Kngland. I'p t o within a few years ago the entire trade in country was furnished from England, the skins coming from tbo backs of sheep that were raiaed and grazed on English pasture lands. There is little difference in the value of the French and Knglish chamois, liotb answering the imrjKjse for wiiirh thev are purchased eiiually well The only. real difference—and it is a differenco in which the French lose their claim for the superiority of their goods over the English goods—is that, on count of the peculiar projwrty of a cer- tain fish oil with which they prepare their skins, the I'rent h chamois, in- stead of drying hard and sliff-like parchment, dri»t as soft as before i t is put in water. The English chamois i* prepared in oil and lime, and is bleached to any desired shade- The best ijnality ot goods comea from the liacks ot the voung animals. After the wo*'l has Wn removed the skins are ilmved down t o the required thickness, which is regulated by tho poriioscs for which the skin is to l^c used. Alter it has been tanned it is jiut into a Tirejtaration of oil and lime, softened, and then tA-ijfc^l to tho desirea shade.
