An English hydraulic engineer pro
posos to make use of tho vast energy
that is to be found iu the tides. The
idea of utilizing the rise and fall of the
ocean is by no means now, and tho
various plans which have been tried
have proved quite ineilioient. It is
now proposed to put in practices means
which will likely provo a measurable
success where the difference between
high and low water is considerable. The
method is as follows: A w<>ir or dam is
built across the mouth of au inlet of the
sea. The risingtideis kept out of the in
closnr" until near about high
tide is then let in, and while it
ing in the water t.s mxdo to turn Vr-j

gates are shut and tho water retained
until about low tide, whon it is liber
ated and made to give useful results
the samo as before. The wonderful
progress made within the last few
mouths in socondary batteries raises
the hope that many other sourcos of
motive power now neglected will be
mado capable of adding to the material
progress of this wonderful mechanical

It seems that in England aud America
the tender passion is mnch the same.
A recent marriago at Hyde Park, I'a.,
completes a romance of absorbing inter
est. The young couple aro both chil
dren of farmers in England, he of poor,
she of wealthy parents. Tho farms
adjoin. They became infatuated with
each other, and u courtship began. Tho
parents of the yonng bride wcro bitterly
opposed to the match, and did every
thing to break it np. Love for parents,
however, could not repress the flame
that glowed for her lover. Tho tie
grow stronger and stronger. Even
threats of disinheriting her availed
nothing. As a last resort sbo was sent
to Scotland.
I for lover was almost broken-hearlod.
Blio was closely watched lest she might
writo to him. Not a word camo to con
sole him, and, despairing of overseeing
his love again, ho sailed for America.
This was ten months ago. After his
departure the girl was brought to her
homo in England. The hope she had
fostered of meeting her lover was
usurped by bitter grief and disappoint
ment.
Borne time after the arrival of the
young man in this country ho wrote to
a former governess of the young lady
regarding her. Through the governess
she learned whero her lover was. With
out preparation, and with the bare
means of defraying the trip, abo set sail
and arrivod in New York almost penni
less, and without a friend in the great
city. Bho was soon found by the yonng
man, and the conple were married by a
Hyde Park minister.

The Cleveland Leader tells the story
of a blighted life. After the late A. T.
Stewart had received a start in this
country ho returned to Ireland to settle
the estate of an uncle who had died
and left him quite an inheritance.
While there he renewed his acquain
tance with a family named Morrow, and
spent the greater part of one winter at
their house. One of the mem'oert of
the family was Miss Abby, a fresh
faced, bright-eyed Irish lass of some
eighteen years. ♦brown constantly in
her society, Stewart fell a victim to tho
yonng lady's manifold charms, and was
soon an accepted suitor. In tho spring
the yonng man, having sold out his in
terest in the elder Stewart's projnsrty,
began preparing for his return to Amer
ica, and suggested that the family of
his betrothed accompany him. After
due solicitation on his (art and with
great reluctance on theirs they finally
consented to emigrate, and coming to
this country settled in what was then a
small village bnt is now tho city of
Cleveland. Stewart and Miss Abby
corresponded for a year or more,
and Stewart visited her at her distant
homo. Upon his returning to New
York bis letters grew infrequent and
ultimately ceased. Shortly after, Miss
Morrow received tidings of Stewart's
, The news prostrated her
and after her recovery from
tho illness which ensued sbo was en
tirely changed. Before that time she
had been light-hearted and chcerfnl.
Afterward sho was never known to
speak above an ordinary tone, and
smiled only on ram oocasion*. The
roses ] permanently left her cheek i and
sho became prematurely aged. Her
mother died the year following Abby's
sickness, and for thirty years she kept
honso for hor two brothers. In the
early years she did not lack for
anitors, for attractive girls were even
ewer in proportion in those days
than now. None of them succeeded in
awaking any responsive emotion in her
breast, and in 1856 she died, and, with
her griefs and blighted affections, was
laid away in a grave dag by her broth
ers in front of their cottage door. Two
years after bis marriage A. T. Btewart
■cat to his former affianced a silk dreas
pattern, with the attendant trimmings.
Each following year till the time of his
death Miss Morrow received a similar
offering from her faithless and possibly
remorsefnl lover. AU the presents she
reoeived without remark, and all were
carefully laid away and Dover worn.
Alter his marriage Miss Morrow was
never known to refer to Stewart in any
manner, and after her death her broth
ers rarely spoke of the man who broke
their sister's heart.

Fifteen Million Dollar* an Acre.
A New York correspondent states
that " in the more ommon streets of
New York land is worth from f250,000
to 150,000 per acre. In the bast part
of Broadway ita value is increased to
$2,000,000 per acre ; but in the vicinity
of Wall street ita value is immensely
increased because this locality ia the
money heart of America. The land on
which the Dresel building stands coat
ita present owners at the rata of $14,000,-
000 per acre. It oooupias the oorner of
Wall and Broad streets, which may be
considered the most ralnable oor
ner on this continent—and yet
when I was a Broad street olerk in
1840 this very place was occupied by
a hat atom. The corresponding veins
of property in this neighborhood has
been illustrated by the recent sale of
the oorner of Broad street and Ex

$15,500,000 par acre. Hence the
Drexel lot was none too dear. In fact,
