FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-Wc ighcl in
the balance of just criticism, all are
obliged to admit that the scales of Fair
banks & Co. are, without exception,
the best ever Invented. We know
whereof we affirm, because we have
tested their value, and are fully salts
fed Of their superior merits. The in
PRODUCTION Of these scales has wrought
a revolution in the transaction of vari
Gus business, and their accuracy is
snch that a uniformity in weights has
been established all over the country,
thus making them a national, leyalized
standard. Nor are they confined to
the United States; they have found
their way to almost every part of the
civilized world, and are adapted to the
standards of all countries, so that it
may be said, all nations, if not "weigh.
ID in these balances" at least weigh
by them.--U1at's Merchants Nuga

.Y We would suggest that many
OF the wives of soldiers in our midst
are really in need Of funds to obtain
the neeessaries Of life. Some of them
are out Of fuel, and for some time past
have been the recipients OF gifts from
their neighbors. Many of the regi-
ments in the field have not been paid
off for months, which explains the rea-
son for all this. Is it not our duty TO
see that they are cared for, and reliev-
ed from the huniliating position which
the compartment of troops places them
We say, aye. Let something be done,
and that at once.

THE LOGGING CAMP Last week, IN
company with about ten or dozen
others we paid a visit to Garrison's
logging camp on Mosquito Creek
Starting at about a. m, we arrived
at the camp about lOl-all singing the
"Star Spangled Banncr,' till wolves
and their kin OF the woods retreated
either in fear or disgust to a safe dis
lance from civilized humanity. cold
John Brown followed next, which
rang through the woods till the ''boys"
thou III tie Oh oca< ctliing them to
grub. En- less than twenty minutes,
about a regiment of stalwart men be-
gan to make their appearance from all
quarters of the woods, springing Phe
nix like from lofty pines and sugar ma
pies. AT first, unaccustomed to the
presence Of aconaela az camp, they SHE'D
little, but were soon rendered docile
and tractable on being assured that we
were not q devastating party, but
friends. We saw Chase, and it did
our soul good to see him; be looked as
beautiful as of old, aLd Just as full OF
humor. At the hour Of II, we spread
our table with the choice viands OF the
camp and home, and ate hearty re-
past. Chief cook Zenier got up things
in the best STYLE, that could be equallcd
only at the Metropolitan or Ncwhail.
After dinner we ''meaudered" and took
glimpse at the towering pines whose
tops were swaying in the wind and
moaning low, deep and pitiful. One
who has never been in the endless for
csts Of the Pinery can form no idea OF
IT'S grandeur and sublimity. Mammoth
pines lift their aged forms heavenward
and ia the wild nor'western shout III
exultant tones their God given liberty.
IN the gentle winds they moan and
wall rs ii. weeping over their fallen
brothers. To see them fall under the
telling axe Of the woolman is curlosi-
ty full of sublimity and wild beauty
They bow gradually in meek salbnis-
sion to the arb,ter Of their destiny, till
with one Wild crash they fall, making
the woods re-ccho With the thunder OF
tleir downfall. After INDUCING IN sport
aud jokes such as are prompted by the
free and unrostrained forest presence,
bidding all a God-speed and success in
enter rise, we took our way nome by
The sLanting," to view the result Of
the winters work. Logs, mammoth
logs, witnou. knot or blemish, lay il
piles for nearly q mile, awaiting the
spring run of water to tioat upon the
turbulent waters Of the Wisconse, t.
taeir sure destiny Of gang-saws anc
edeers. Twenty-one days work re
vealed nearly million feet of lumber
ir the log ready for the saw.
We had right joyous tins and fur
enough TO satisfy multitude.
