"The Catechism is recommended to all Railway Employes as an interesting and useful book; but to Engineers, Firemen and Mechanics, as indispensable. They must obtain the knowledge which it contains, in some way, in order to understand their business."-Extract from Rules and Regulations for the Government of the Employes of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Company. Grand International Union of Locomotive Firemen, (The only legitimate Organization of Locomotive Firemen in the United States and Canada.) ORGANIZED APRIL 10TH, 1866.

Y., Lock Box Gor J. B. Hotchkiss, Clinton, Iowa. The LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN'S JOURNAL. Devoted exclusively to the interests of Locomotive Firemen. This Journal is published monthly and by order of the Grand International Union of Locomotive Firemen. Terms by mail, $1.12. Address Henry Hoppman, Schenectady, N. Y. Lock Box G. HOXSIE'S POCKET COMPANION FOR Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, C. BY A. HOXSIE. Embraces practical instructions for the care and management of the Locomotive Engine under al. circumstances, and is designed for the use of the Fireman as well as the Engineer, ignoring entirely all fanciful theories, and matters pertaining more especially to Locomotive Builders or Mechanics. The Author's aim has been to condense in as brief space as possible, plain and explicit, yet comprehensive information as to the practical duties of those placed in charge of Locomotives. The work embodies numerous suggestions valuable to experienced Engineers, while the detail explanations are designed more especially for those less informed; and it is believed to be sufficient to meet every case of doubt or difficulty likely to arise. Among the subjects treated, besides the General Instructions for Engineers and Firemen, and to which separate articles are devoted, may be mentioned, Tramming, Center Marking, Expansion and Expansion Braces, Valve and Valve Motion, Lap and Lead, Pump and Valves, Eccentrics, Adjustment of Side and Main Rods, Four Principal Points of Valve Motion, Trouble on the Road and how to meet it, Pumping, Accidents, Temporary Repairs, and numerous other topics. The difficulty encountered by young Engineers and Firemen struggling for promotion, has been steadily kept in view by the author, whose experience as a practical Engineer has enabled him to fully sympathize with, and appreciate the wants of both these classes. He has, in short, aimed to produce a common sense manual of the Locomotive, free from unnecessary technicalities, abstruse science or useless theory. This work has been approved of by many master mechanics on the leading R. R. lines in the country, also by experienced engineers and by universal consent, is acknowledged as the best, and in fact the only work published on the Locomotive Engine that is entirely devoted to the use and benefit of Engineers and Fireman, that will impart that information which is so much sought for by them, as it alludes to all manner of break-downs while on the road, especially the valve motion gear, which is so much demanded by young engineers, and so plain and applicable that none can fail to understand and apply it. Price $1.50 per copy, post paid. Money must accompany all orders, and can be sent with safety by Registered Letter. All money sent to me by Post Office Orders will be made payable at Providence Post Office, R. I., and send the order to my address. C. A. HOXSIE, Box 55, Carolina Mills, Washington Co., R. 1.

THE BEST INJECTORS, [COVERED BY FRIEDMANN'S AND OTHER PATENTS,] LIFTING AND NON-LIFTING, FOR Locomotive and Stationary Boilers, ARE MANUFACTURED BY NATHAN & DREYFUS, 108 Liberty Street, New York. These Injectors are economical and reliable. They deliver more water and will take the water hotter, with less steam, than any others. They have no moveable parts to get out of order, but, on the contrary, have fixed nozzles, that require no care or adjustment whatever. They start promptly and do their work surely. Since their introduction, many of the leading railroads are substituting them in place of pumps on new and old locomotives, having proved their superiority by repeated exhaustive trials. See report of M. M. Association, Railroad Gazette, May 19, 1876. Attention is called to our improved attachments; also our new INDEPENDENT FEED WATER REGULATOR AND HEATER, all of which are in advance of anything of the kind yet before the public. The Lifting Injector can be placed in the cab or any convenient place on the locomotive. Send for descriptive catalogue and price list. We will send them on trial if desired. CAUTION. Messrs. Nathan & Dreyfus, of New York, have commenced suit in the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, against the New York Elevated Railroad Co. and Wm. L. Chase for infringement of Letters Patent No. 57057, dated August 7, 1876, relating to Injectors for Feeding Steam Bollers, of which Messrs. Nathan & Dreyfus are the proprietors. They claim, amongst other things, that Rue's Little Giant Lifting Injector, which is used by the Elevated Railroad Co. upon some of their locomotives, and for which Mr. Chase is understood to be the agent in New York, is an infringement of said Letters Patent. They ask for $1500 damages against the former and $5000 against the latter, and injunctions against both. They declare their intention to prosecute the suits with all possible vigor, and also to commen, e at once and prosecute other suits against all who infringe their rights by either making, selling, or using any Injector like, or substantially like, their patented device above referred to. WETMORE & JENNER, New York, Solicitors for NATHAN & DREYFUS. BY SHIRLEY BROWNE. EAR me," said Letty Wyngard, "I shall go crazy! Five children all clamoring at once, the preserve kettle boiling over, the pickles fermenting, moths in my Sunday shawl, and the dog running away with the soup bone for dinner." And Letty stood in the middle of the room, holding her head with both hands, as if she momentarily expected it to sail up into the air like a balloon. Letty was very pretty, after an odd Gypsy type, with great dark eyes, a brown healthy skin, and hair as black as a crow's wing; and this round of daily cares and duties to which, as the wife of a poor young carpenter, she was condemned, had planted a wrinkle on her velvet-smooth forehead. John Wyngard burst out laughing, and that in Mrs. Letty's case, proved the one hair that broke the camel's back. She began to cry. Now, Letty, don't be a goose," said he, soothingly. Why, what do you know about real trouble?" "I don't care," sobbed Letty. "I'm sick of it all. I'm tired of patching old clothes and hashing old meats and hoarding pennies. I'm tired of "Your husband and your children," gravely interrupted Mr. Wyngard. "Is that it, Letty?" Mrs. Wyngard pouted and was silent. She didn't like to own it, but for the moment she almost felt that she was tired of them. "I might have married rich," she said, slowly twisting the baby's bib strings around and around her finger. "I might have been Howard Lindsley's wife, and he is a very wealthy man, they tell me." "It's a pity you didn't," said John, provokingly. "Yes, it is a pity," said Letty, stung be NO. 10. yond endurance, as she flounced out of the room. And then, as she sat down to sew a button on Johnny's jacket, and braid little Helen's hair, and show Rosie about the arithmetic sums, and finally, when the four eldest ones were packed off to school, to bathe the baby and rock it to sleep, Letty Wyngard could not help thinking how much brighter and smoother her pathway would be, if, instead of saying "no" to handsome Howard Lindsley, she had uttered the other monosyllable. Not but what she loved John better, by far, than Howard -but this wearing, grinding succession of petty cares and toil was sapping all the life and activity out of her. She looked disdainfully down at the faded calico dress she wore, patched and darned in more than one place. "If I had married Howard Lindsley," she said to herself, "I could have worn silks and jewels every day, with hired servants to wait on me, and an elegant carriage to drive out in whenever I pleased. Oh, dear, what a world of trouble this is!" And as Mrs. Wyngard laid her little rosy-cheeked infant down to sleep, she felt as if her lot had fallen in very thorny places. Just as she had taken her place once again over the brass kettle in which she was trying to do up some rocky pound pears, which a neighbor had given her, there came a loud knocking at the door. "Come in," said Letty, and the housekeeper from Hadfield Hall, the big mansion on the hill, came mincing across the threshold. Letty dusted off a chair, in considerable of a flurry, for Mrs. Ellison was a grand lady in her way, who wore black silks and laces, and had her bonnets directly from a New York milliner, every spring and fall. "Won't you sit down, Mrs. Ellison?" said she, coloring to the roots of her pretty hair, and secretly hoping that Mrs. Ellison did not observe the patch on her calico dress. |
