makers have not the means to- do their work well.-
They are MD away in secret places, where 1t would
be impossi Die to have at their command the proper

business and wing extensive manufactur ring estab.

MADE always liable to get out Of order, and are
to cost considerable trouble and money to keep
them in repair.
The qualities to beloved for in machine are:-
certainty of correct action at all rat Of speed,
plicity Of reconstruction, great durability, and rapid
ity of operation, with the least labor. Machines to
combine these essential qualities. must be made ol
the best metal and finished to perfection. We have
the ways and means, on a grand scale, TO do this.
The purchasers of Machines, whose daily bread 1t
may concern, will find that those having the above
qualities not only work well at rapid we'll as slow

Career of a Rich Man.

We have seen it stated lately, upon what
appeared to be reliable authority, that the
wealth of William B. Astor, of New York
amounts to at least forty million of dollars
It is curious to trace this broad. yellow stream
to its first little beginnings in the early career
of J Ohm Jacob Astor, father of the present
millionaire.
From a sketch of this remarkable mar
which appears in work entitled Fifty Years
in Both Hemispheres,p By Vincent NoIte
we learn that j ohm Jacob Astor was born al
Heidelberg, where the original name of hi;
family is said to have been Aschter, and that
he came to New York as furrier's appren
tice. He was at that time as poor as any 9th
er apprentice boy, then or now in New Y ork
The wages he got in the petty warehouse
for beating out and and preparing various
! skins, he invested in the purchase Of all kinds
of peltry bear, milk, and rabbit skins, which
lie got from the Indians, who, at that time
wandered about the streets of New York
and as soon as he had collected certain guam
tity he sent them to Europe, particularly to
the Leipsic fair. There, it is stated, he traded
them off for Nuremberg wares, cheap knives
glass beads, and other articles adapted to
traffic with :hc Indians on the Canadian from
tiers, and took them himself to the latter points
where he again exchanged them for furs oil
various kinds. He has often told Mr.. Nolte
that he carried on this work untiringly, for
twelve long years, going in person, alternate
II, to the Canadian frontiers and then to the
Leipsic fair, and lived all the while, as he
had been accustomed to do humbly and SPAR
ingly. After he had thus managed to bring
together considerable capital, he gradually
became freighter of ships, and fitted out OK
peditions to the Northwest coast to trade with
the Indians of Nootlza Sound for furs An
other aud very considerable round up the ladder
of fortune was taken by Astor in land speou.
lation. Some of his countrymea owned land
in New York by virtue of being relations and
heirs Of German soldiers who had fought in
the American Grmy in the Revolution, and to
whom Congress had voted land in consequences.
Many Of the soldiers died without converting
their property into money, and Astor, after
a visit do Heidelberg, made arrangement with
the heirs which was mutually agreeable; they
thinking it better to have little ready cash
than to own good deal of land, the value of
which was very slow in increasing, end he
having foresight to anticipate, and patience
to await results. So the heirs got their mon
ey, and Astor obtained their land, some of
which is now among the most important in
the city of New York. In this way fortune
of twelve millions of dollars was accumulated.
The vast increase under the management Of
his son, William B. Astor, Esq, shows that
he inherits the energy and business habits of
his father, but affords no such demonstration
of money making genius as the career of John
Jacob. Indeed, the latter is reported to have
said that it cost him more trouble to make
the first thousand dollars than all the remain
der of his fortune.- Baltimore American.

Right and Just.

In a war speech at Cleveland on Monday
evening last, Ex- Governor Dennison said:
The President, as honest man as ever liv-
ed, has said that he must have three hundred
thousand men. and be shall have them. If that
will not do we will double the number, and will
fight this thing to the bitter end, if we have to
send our wives and daughters to till the fields.
Ohio has done hravely already, Ohio never has
faltered, Ohio never will falter, and Ohio will
be true ever hereafter as she has been ever
heretofore.
There is no end to be attained consistent
with the honor and safety of the country, ex-
cept the complete suppression of the rebellion,
There are those who do not go heartily into
this struggle because they don't like this or
that General, this or that poicy-this or that
law. Such men don't like their country, and
should be sent beyond the Federal lines into
the lines of the rebels, where they belong
No matter to what political party you origin
ally belonged, if you neither shoulder your
musket nor contribute of your means to the
support of our armies, you are neither Repub-
lican, nor democrat, nor Abolitionist, but a
Traitor! Immense cheering.l
And those who contribute to the support of
the families Of the men who ga to the Gea
must not lools an their contributions in the
light of gratuity. Those who go to the field
do not so look on their contributions Of life
and person, and if it is a duty for them to go
to the field in support of the government, it is
equally duty of those at home to support the
families of those who go,
The question has been asked, why not COM
promise? What compromise with treason
rebellion God forbid When man COM
promises with wrong he becomes a wrong do
er. When you compromise with treason you
become traitors. We will never compromise,
but we win fight for century, if need be-
We will desolate fields OF the South, and lay
their cities in ashes, rather than compromise.
Immense cheering. We have been asked
why not be kind to our erripg hrethrena They
have forgotten that they ever were our broth
ren, and we will forget it. If we can do it in
no other way we viii annihiIate them. There
is no middle ground. We must subiqgate or
be s99jugated. We want peace, but when it
comes we do not want temporizing peace
but peace forever. The only terms on which
peace can be had is the recognition by the
people of every State of the sovereignty and
complete supremacy Of the American Gov.

salt for stock.

Now when stock OF all kinds sub
sist entirely on grass, and particular
ly when they are confined TO red clo-
yer, (I4gfoliuna pretense,) they should
have all the salt they will consume,
and have access to it at all times
They will consume no more than they
really need, and no more than
viii be beneficial to them, if they can
have it at any time when they would
like a little.
When animals that chew the cud,
such as sheep, oxen, and COWS, feed
on red clover, they do not mastieata
it, as horses do, before it enters their
stomachg, and for this reason, they
are very liable to bloat and die In O
very short time. But when they have
free access to salt at all times, they
will consume enough of it to counter :
act the injurious effects which often
follows when animals subsist wholly
on that kind of grass. Salt appears
to rectify the acidity of their stom-
achs, and to prevent the formation Of
gas during the partial decomposition
Of clover, while it is being prepared
to be l'uminated, in the form of cuds,
after the animals have consumed
enough to fill the first stomach. For
this reason, let every animal have all
the salt it wants.
