A Wonderful Cutter.-Among the many
mechanical conlrivances recently exhibited ai-ihe
late Agricultural Fair in Richmond, was Persons
patent for cutting hoops coach mouldings liners
for boxes, or any article Of similar character
from the round log; by Joseph s. Waller. This
gentleman may be addressed, at Alexandria, Va,
in relation 10 The machine, for the sale of which
he is The agent. II was warmly eulogized by
those who saw il in operation, who justly pro-
nounced il wonder in the industrial branches
To convey an idea of its workings. we state
that the log is placed on centres and passes under
the cutters, which forms the hoop or moulding, at
the same time il is cul or slit from the log with
circular saw, cutters, which cutters are ar
ranged SO as 10 give the hoop, or article formed,
any desired thickness, width, or shape, cutting
around the log with the grain of the wood, until
il is cut up. A log Two feet in diameter will cut
from one thousand 10 fifteen hundred hoops.
The simplicity and durability OF this machine,
and the speed with which hoops can be made,
renders il valuable and profitable investment.

JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION

NJ u
~ ENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
" properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by The faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual modas 0perandt" Of prescribing IL, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or GeIatinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
to some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
rienced by some individuals in the deglutition of
the Capsule or the small quantity ofCopaiba gen
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyce's l~asteless solution OF Copalba Is the
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
medical profession, as il contains 90 per cent. OF
the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by The most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists IN the old and
new worlds 10 contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Balsam Copaiba without lis dlsagreable
characteristics. .
Ii is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rheoa, Leucorrhea, elect, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic irritation OF the bladder.

The Star Of the West, a paper published al
Cincinnati, thus speaks Of Chicago and its
wondrous growth
"No city in our Union, perhaps, has grown
so rapidly as this, within the last two years.
1t has increased at the rate of. &c, 1000 per year.
The geographical location of the place the
remarkable growth of the surrounding coun-
try; the numerous beautiful villages springing
up on every hand in the interior the remark
able facilities for building railroads in every
direction the energy, thrift, and enterprise Of
the people the fine, rich soil, and the success
of the farmers through all the Western coun-
try-all have conspired TO build up Chicago.
Why, a man takes a farm makes it, fences 1T,
and pays for it in. two years. Nature has pro-
vided it for him. Some farmers have raised,
the present year, from 5000 to 10000 bushels
of wheat, and the same amount of corn. Ma.
ture has salso provided for railroading. The
land for miles is as level as a house floor. The
chief expense Of a railroad is the irons Here
is the secret of the growth of Chicago. Hi.
nois is the second State in the Union in rail-
reading. She has 2,667 miles. Ohio alone
leads her, having 1927. Nearly every rail
road in Illinois centres in Chicago. For the
reason given above, Chicago is destined to be-
come a great city. In ten years she will have
outgrown both st. Louis and Cincinnati. Dur
ing the month of September, there was re.
ceived in ST. Louis 100000 bushels of wheat
in Chicago there were received during the
same month $3.50, 900 bushels-an excess
over st. Louis of 1885, 900 bushels. The lum-
bar, pork, beef, and corn trade in this city, is
immense. Every department of business is
driven and goes on the high-pressure principle.
Everybody is fast-men, women, and children,
steamboats,, hotel keepers, and especially spec
ulators in lots, are fast. They say that they
have done their best at lying for the past five
years, with reference TO the rise Of land, but
the city has beat them. 1t has outgrown all
their falsehoods, and turned them into facts

How ~svyindIers are Punished Ia England.

How SyindIers are Punished Ia England.
Sir John ID. Paul and his partners, Messrs.
Stranhan and Bates, who we're for many years
leading London bankers, failed some time
since, and disclosed that they had, when pressed
for money, disposed of securities placed in their
hands on deposit, and applied the money to
their own necessities. They were arrested and
tried for the offence, and we learn by this mail
that the sentence pronounced upon them is
fourteen years transportation. Sir John ID.
Paul was a baronet, q magistrate, n leading
member Of the church, and Of several religious
and charitable societies; his connections, as
well as those Of his partners, were highly re-
spectacle and influential. Yet they have been
sentenced to The same punishment as would
have been allotted to them if they had been
the lowest criminals. There is a lesson in the
sentence by which we may profit. Such swim.
dies as that of Strahan. Paul Il Bates, have not
been unknown in this country. But we are not
aware that any Wall street operator was ever
sentenced to fourteen years Imprisonment, or
even four.-Neu York Herald.

ADoo SToRY.-The Sacramento Union tells
a queer dog story. A dog having deposited a
bone with some putrid meat upon it in his
masters house the cook removed il tothe crotch
Of a tree out Of reach. After circling the tree,
and concluding that he could not attain the prize
unaidei, the dog proceeded to q neighboring
house, and succeeded, by his opportunities, in
inducing a cat, with which be was familiar, TO
accompany him, mount the tree, and claw of
the "sweet morsel" which he again trium-
phantly placed in the hall.
