WHERE THE Ivory CONES FROM

WHERE THE Ivory COMES FROM
About "a 900 oxen are killed each
week to supply the city of New York
with meat. The bone known as the
shinbone " and all the leg from the
knee to the hoof, falls into the hands Of
Mr.. Peter Cooper. lie contracts with
the butchers aud market men to sup.
ply him, and in this way about 100000
shinbones per week fud their way to
his establishment. All the muscles are
taking from them, the glutin is extracted,
and The clean white bone, is kept to be
worked up into parasol handles, In
this way Mr. Cooper has made an inn
meuse fortune, aud many ladies who
suppose they were admirng beauti'
tulivory handle to their sunshades, rid.
ding whips, etc. have only been gazing
upon the shipbone of an ox,-.tho very
animal, perhaps, which supplied them
with their mornings beefsteak.

REoRATIoNs OF A PuILosoPHER.-
Professor Dormns once placed linen
handkerchief in the explosive condition
of gun cotton, and threw it into the
wash. Bridget washed, dried, and
sprinkled it ready for ironing, without a
suspicion of its character. The moment
she placed the hot iron upon it, the
handkerchief vanished into thin air,
nearly frightening the poor girl out of
her senses, Had this occurred an age
ago the professor would have passed as a
+" limb Of satan"

VILLAGE PRINTING-On Monday eve
ming last the Village Board awarded O..
B. Smith & Co. the contract for doing
the public printing for the ensuing year,
their bid being considered t,oo per cent
lower than any ether. We are happy to
state that We get much better terms this
year than last for this work; for then we
received but 99cts, while the present con
tract allows us -Four dollars, ninety foul
and $40 cents. g.. ~
We hardly know what to do with all our
money; we had in contemplation the pur
chase of the Northeast, but after close
calculation we have come to the conclu-
sion that in one hundred years we could
only save enough from the Village print
ing to buy one foot of gas pipe. an arti

TIN New STEAMER NORTHWEST. -
This floating palace arrived here last even
ing on her first trip to Lake Superior.
Since her departure from our port last
week, she has received her tout fit, all
of which is elegant and princely, and sur
passes anything on the lakes. At Chica-
&c and Milwaukee, hundreds of ladies
and gentleman have visited her, and their
admiration of the boat has been universal
The compliments paid the Northeast are
highly fattering to Manitowoc; for she
is the handiwork OF her skilled mechanics.
The construction Of the boat has been
watched with the mos. intense interest,
and now to witness the great favor with
which she isreceived. is the crowning gi6r =
OF our people. May she prove profitable
investment for her owner, and for many
years ride the foaming pillows of our in
land seas ike thing Of life. Our best
wishes attend her. Elsewhere we pub
iish accounts Of her from the city papers.

New HOSE. Our Village Board has
passed a resolution to have Mr.. Cha
Luling purchase 500 feet of new rubber
hose for our engines, the old Leather and
Hemp hose being nearly worthless. This
is good move, and may save the loss
of half our town by fire some windy day.
When we read of the immense loss sus-
tanned by Oshkosh, Fond Gu Lac and
other towns it makes Us feel as though ev-
cry reasonable precaution should be tax
en- to save us from like fate. 1t would
seem that huge wells might be dug in
springy places in localities distant from the
lake aud river, kept covered and locked,
which would supply sufficient water for
any ordinary FIRE, but this is merely an
idea Of ours.

- The Sbeboygan Times says: ''The
Northeastern Record, we understand, will
be started again soon, this time as a seven
column paper. We hope better luck is
in store for its publishers than that here
tofore experienced. And it further
says had the Northwest been built in
Sheboygan, as was first intended, she
could have left the river loaded, instead
of lying empty on sand bar for days,
at the risk of serious injury. Yes, per-
haps she might and then perhaps she
mightn't If the day was perfectly calm
she might have left the river but if there
had been little breeze she might have
been left on the pier as the Nay Queen
was The Northrest left our place ali
right with larger load than Sheboygan
could furnish In a month,
La regard to our harbor we have not
yet expended $4,000 on it. 1t is in its
natural state and yet has about the same
amount of water on the bar at the mouth
Of the river that the flushed Sheboygan
harbor has We advise our Sheboygan
friends to say less about the depth of
water, but keep their dredge at work to
make channel for their 'musketo feet. :"

INTERESTING VERY.-It always ex-
cites derision to see toothless cur snap
ping at the heels of one who cares moth
ing for it but goes straight along and
minds his own business. We thought of
this last Monday evening while witness
ing the deliberations of our Village Board.
A question came up for discussion, but,
before there was any possible chance for
action, an outsider asked and obtained
permission to address the Board. This
is not an infrequent occurrence, but 1T Is
always expected the speaker will be brief
and respectful On the occasion referred
to, the outsider was exceedingly disrespect-
full, and, if the Board had had true
sense of their dignity or a Just regard for
the feelings of one of their own body,
they would have silenced the interloper
and instructed the Marshal to show him
the door. However he was very politely
saubbed, and was finally obliged to sim
mer." The cause of the commotion was
this
"ouly this and nothing nore:"-
The Chairman of the Committee on
Printing was authorized to furnish Prin-
tiers with specification of the Village
Printing in order to get their bids for the
work. Having business at this Office, he
brought the copy intended for US directly
here, while that for our neighbor was
dropped in the Postoffice. We contend
the Chairman did his whole duty, and if
he wished to accommodate us it was no
ones business but his own.
