FIGURING MILLS OF ROCK ISLAND.

The first Touring mills built in Rock Is
land were those now known as the Rodman
Mills, on the river bank between Ohio and
Exchange streets. They were built some
time in the year 1852, by Christian H. Leas
d Son, who were previously engaged in
mercantile pursuits. As might be supposed,
a splendid business was carried on for over
four years. no local competition existing dur
ing that period, and since that time the
mills have generally been kept well employ,
ed. Leas & Son conducted operations there
for the very satisfactory term of fourteen
years, and, about year ago, disposed of the
concern to the present proprietors, J.C. Har-
nish & Co., who did not take possession,
however, until May last. The Rodman
Mills are finely equipped throughout, and
are undoubtedly capable of turning out as
fine an article of -four as any in the country
In fact, their brands are quite popular in
the market, and meet with ready sale
wherever offered. In addition, the present
firm is entirely composed of practical men,
who know good article of -four when they
see it, and also know how to manufacture it.
They are now doing an exclusively merchant
business, TO keep up with which they are
usually compelled to run day and night
Their shipments are principally to Chicago,
Boston and New York. To keep the mill
running constantly, and to repair the made
quacy of the market at home, it is found nee
essary to purchase large quantities of wheat
at Davenport, and other Iowa towns located
on the Chicago road.
The dimensions of the mills are so by
100 feet. Employment is constantly given
to from ten to twelve hands. The ordinary
consumption of wheat is one thousand BUSH
els per day, which will figure up quite large
ly in the course of q year. The amount of
flour turned out per week will range all the
way from eleven to thirteen hundred bar
rels. To this add $1,000 pounds of bran,
and $4,000 pounds of middlings, and fair
average of the work of the concern is ascer-
tanned. There are periods, of course, when
the mills are not in operation, but the full
amount of years work is quite large.
Connected with the establishment, and To-
Gated on the opposite side of the street, is an
extensive cooper shop which furnishes all
the barrels used, besides doing something of
an outside business. From twelve to six

OLD BEN WADE AFTER ELECTION.

The Jacobin Vice President of the United
States, Ben Wade, has been having talk
with one of the editors of the Cincinnati
Commercial, which is published in that pa
per. Old Ben drinks whisky, and is not
unfrequently profane. Discussing the re
suits of the election in Ohio, he said
I'VE are id daddy whipped, bat it can't be
helped.
The niger whipped US. But won't back a
id inch. I'm in for it (nigger suffrage now
as strong as l was before the election.
Men who call themselves radicals will try to
hush the thing up, and to smother it. Hell's
full of such radicals wen have now. There will
be the d-dest crawfshing you saw from
this time forward.
"The late elections have affected the question
of impeachment. The weak kneed brothers are
taking the back-track already. What the devil
has an election in Ohio got to do with the mat
tor! If Andy johnson is guilty, put him out
ifnot, acquit him that's the way to do it.
81 have not made up my mind exactly as to
whether l ought to vote for Summers suffrage
bill or not. l believe, under the last clause of
the thirteenth amendment of the constitution,
congress has power to pass such bill.
1.-The trouble with Grant is, you don't know
where he stands. l never could bring him out
As quick as Id talk politics. he d talk horses.
''If Chase can be nominated think he would
make good president, and we can elect him.
''Thad. Stevens pending confscation bin is
id foolery. If the niggers want land, let them
work for it,"
Mr. Wade is plainly of the opinion that
Jacobinism in congress the next session will
be at a discount The elections have
''crushed its backbone" They have
"squelched" its valor. They have reduced
it to "crawfshing.r

Scarcely a day passes that there is not an
explosion in some part of the country and
in large portion OF these cases, no explsna.
ton can be given of the causes which pro-
dueed the result.
This leads to the remark that our scientific
men everywhere are devoting too much time
to abstract and useless speculation, and too
little to practical facts. Agassiz and other
learned men meet and spend a week in the
orizing over an inch of the backbone of some
extinct fish and the Swans of the Chicago
Academy of Sciences devote their valuable
time and talents to discussing ozone or some
other ethereal substance whose existance Is
problematical and whose qualities and uses
are a good deal more SO. III any OF THESE
gentlemen would investigate the subject OF
boiler explosions, and find out the name and
nature of this unknown and terrible monster
that amuses himself by rending the strongest
iron and destroying so many hves, they
would confer an infinite benefit upon human
kind. The man who win exclusively treat
this matter of boiler explosions, and Will
drag to light the mysterious agent that sports
with iron bands and human life, Will take a
higher position in the estimation OF MANKIND
than the discoverer Of America.
1t is we'll enough for able-bodied men TO
spend their lives in investigating the history
of a bit of bone, or in trying to discover the
qualities of some substance whose exlstance
| is no more than barely suspected; but 1T Is
| not such men who are the real benetactors
of mankind The man who discovered vac,
| cination will be remembered thousand
| years after Agassiz viii be forgotten. One
practical benefit is worth one hundred thou
sand theories spun in the domain of com
| parative anatomy.
| Of course the on-attention OF scientific
men is no excuse for the carelessness and
incompetency from which proceed three
fifths of all the boiler explosions in this
| country. Usually the engineer pays the
penalty Of his want of knowledge or atten
| ton with his life. When he escapes, and
the fault can be clearly traced to him, he
should be hanged as an example to murder
ers and wouldbe murderers of all kinds. /
the hanging should also include employers
who are too parsimonious to hire competent
engineers, or too careless to see that then
subordinates attend to their duty, or too mi
serly to employ first class machinery, we ART
convinced that the number of boiler explo
| sions would be at once reduced at least one
half its present Chicago Times
