Directions for filling the Broom.

The top of the stirrup should be about
two inches above the top of the cone; ill a
row around the outer circle of the cone of
your straitest and best corn, and then fill
the inside with the inferior corn, if you wish
to use it, after which turn the handle
till the corn is as tight as you wish it to be,
holding your hand on the brush at the same
time TO steady the broom, Otter which put
on your bend wire and insert the hook and
stirrup wires and the broom is complete, all
of which does not take much longer than
reading the directions. Persons cannot be
too careful in keeping the handle sufficient
ly tight to keep the corn secure, as many
persons are apt to unscrew it in examining
the broom and leavs it so the next comes
along, takes hold and shakes it, and by re-
peating it the broom will become loose. and
lead some to think it was the fault of the
broom, when in fact it is the carelessness of
persons The broom is of
itself so simple that the most stupid person
cannot fail to understand it at a glance

Artemus Ward is said to have cleared S5O,-
900 by his books and lectures. This is prob
ably as much as any American writer has
made since the days Of Irving.
But then great many Others have been
blasphemers of the Almighty Dollar, which
Artemus never was to any alarming extent.
He has his reward, and let us hope they will
have theirs.

the Examiner, but which that paper is now

While the article is very cleverly and

Inducements to Capitalist and Man
m

ufacIurer.
1t is conceded fact and admitted by eve
ry one, that if the Capitalist or ManUtac-
turer can secure monopoly of the sale and
manufacture of any article of universal con-
sumption, that they have laid the stepping
stone to permanent structure of wealth.
The cause of so many failures with men of
enterprise and small capital is the compe-
tItiOn of buSnesS-the advantages of com
bined capital against the man of limited
means, with no protection thrown around
him. tits seldom that there is an article
patented that is destined to come into gen
eral use, and can readily be sold to every
family in the land. From time immemorial
THE BROOM has been an Indispensable
article in every house, and may we not safely
conclude that it always will continue So
If, then, the sale of this article is unlimited
and there is no end to the demand while
time last can there be a shadow of risk in
securing the sale and manufacture of one
of the most complete and simple made
Brooms that the world ever produced.
1t has been the custom of our foretatherS,
from the days of the Roman Empire to the
present time, to construct the Broom on the
same plan, without even an effort to inn
prOyement; but ours is an age of progress
sion-old things are being done away with
and more useful and simple machinery is
fast taking their place, thus it is that we
are advancing and keeping pace with the
age in which our lot has been cast.
The success of this Broom is 10 longer a
doubt The certainty of it being univer-
sally introduced into every house is only
question OF time. Wherever there have
been men taken hold of it, and commenced
manufacturing, the demand has no parallel
III any article ever made. We have, bv the
sale of territory in several States, got in sue
cessful operation number of factories. and
this too, all in the space ola few months as
the patent not granted till June 9th.
1868. In Chicago, H., Mr. Charles f.
Browne, the assignee of the patent. has the
/ largest manufactOry of the kind on the
American continent, and it is not vet three
months since it was put in motion in Michi-
gan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa. They are being manufactured by the
quantity, and here, in the city of St Louis
we are completing arrangements to enter ex-
tensively into the manufacture of the ar
ticle, and may we not safely conclude that
there are capitalists ready and willing to
carry this same enterprise into every State
in the Union.
We have more territory than we can con-
troll protitably, and will dispose of any of
the States remaining unsold, at prices that
can't fail to suit the purchasers: and to
men of limited means. we viii divide to you
States by county to suit your convenience

THRILLING SCENE IN THE CIRQUE NAPo-
LEoH-A LtoEssS on the RGmPGge.-An unprece
dented scene occurred at the Cirque Napoleon
on Monday night, during the performance Of
Mr.. Baiiy, the successor of Van Amburg, who
is now exhibiting in Paris. The moment he
entered the wild beasts cage the lioness was
observed TO be in a terrible rage. The lions
were also roaring and jumping about, and Mr..
Batty seemed to have lost his usual influence
over them. The public, fearing TO see him torn
IN pieces, cried go out, 90 outr' Mr.. Batty
took the advice and cautiously w thdrew,
walking backwards. The cause of the extra
ordinary commotion in the cage was soon as
certained. A few minutes before the com.
mencement of the performance the lioness had
given birth 10 n cub who was thought to be an
only son. The young lion was taken away
from her and given 10 a bitch to suckle; but
just as Batty entered the cage the lioness unex-
pectedly produced second one, and the lions
wanted TO eat it-a propensity said TO be very
common with wild beasts when in a state of
captivity. The fury of the lioness in defense of
her offspring, and the ferocious attitude of her
companions in the cage, produced an extraor-
binary panic among the spectators, and seve-
raj ladies tainted After a short pause Batty
contrIyed TO separate the lioness from the cub,
and the latter, about the size of a cat, was held
up by the nape Of the neck fer the inspection
of the eompany.-Pa~is Correspondence Of the
