s in the radial arms. On the axis of each paddle is an arm from which a rod proceeds to an eccentric on the paddle-wheel shaft. The effect is to keep the floats vertical at all points of their revolution. Machinery of Fulton's steamboat Clermont (1807). In Galloway's patent of 1829 the revolution of the wheel causes an eccentric collar to rotate by the action of arms, and the radius rods cause each paddle to oscillate on its axis so as to enter and leave the water obliquely. In Oldham's improvement in 1827, the angle of the paddles is constantly varying, being vertical only at the point of greatest submergence, and horizontal at the point of greatest elevation. The change of position is accomplished by the oscillation of the axis of the float, by means of rods, cranks, and an eccentric wheel on the paddle-shaft. b. Dawson's feathering paddle-wheel (A, Fig. 3476), 1814, has floats attached to radial rods which rotate on their axes so as to enter and leave the water obl

Our lands, in my opinion, cannot be made available now, and the only thing I can see, which is a certainty, is taxation, and the people must face the music. I have no doubt ample relief will be extended to our citizens by something akin to a stay law, and, indeed, there is a disposition already exhibited to extend relief wherever it is needed. Wane, Hemphill, and Oldham are in the city, all candidates for the Senate. I hear some talk of Governor Runnels being a candidate, and Milton Potter, of Galveston, has many friends who will urge his claims for that position. The votes have just been counted for Governor by both Houses, giving a majority for Lubbock of between 1,400 and 1,500. Affecting scene.
