The youngest member ofihe Senate, VIII
ian, Sprague finds himself at thirty-seven,
a, the summit Of ambition, having been Gov
ernor Of his State, aud now Senator of the
United States for six years. His father was
u senator before him, and gave him An ed1-
cation, (chiefy At Irving Institute, Tarry-
town, New York. which fitted him admira-
bly, for the counting room. In person, he is
. little specimen of a man, thin, light built.
and weighing scarcely more than hundred
pounds. With pair of spectacles ever
across his nose. aud usually quiet and re-
served, young Sprague looks far more like
student Of divinity, with AL earnest face,
than manufacturing millionaire with seat
in Congress. The Spragues are noted for
enterprise and thrift. Exactly how much
Of Rhode Island is owned by them is not
known, but they have just bought prodig>

County Aid - Railroads.

Nr. Murry Of Madison county has intro
dlced in the House of Representatives bill
to enable counties to aid the construction oi
railroads, BY means of an issue o. bonds, the
payment of which shall be provided for by q
tax not exceeding three mills in any one year
The limit of Issue o. the bonds is an amount
not exceeding $1,000 for each 200 inhab-
itants. The total amount allowed to be
issued BY any county is not - exceed one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Ths
is intended to enable those sections cut off
from the leading lines to place themselves
in communication with the markets of the
country. Iowa's chef dependence is agri>
culture, and her farmers feel that there is
but little progress made in attaining the ob-
jects Of their labor without cheap transpor
ta,ioas. 1t is OF little consequence to any
one, how rich the soil may be, or how easily
tiled. il the proceeds go back again into the
soil through the old doorway Of costly trans
portation. Liberal grants Of land have help
ed to push forward the back bone lines Lead
ing to the principal river cities. and some
interior ones. OF untold value as these
roads undoubtedly are, they cannot by any
means be made to serve the W; nts of agri-
culture in every part of the State 1t may
be said the construction Of all of the main
lines is reliably assured, and that the
branch lines are as much a necessity TO per
feet the system as are branches necessary to
the trunk of tree.
Railroad iron has reached comparative
ly low figure and now is probably
. favorable time to secure the branches,
and at less cost TO our citizens, perhaps,
than At some future day. The blood of the
Hswkeyes is fairly up and their cry is for
railroads. Confidence in the finances and
the future of our State is firm and We see no
reason why the demand should not be salts
fed and that too with immense advantage

A correspondent ofthe Chicago Times says
81 this road is about graded and bridged from
Muscatine to Upton, and from Upton TO a
point on the North Western road, some isht
miles distant, the road>bed is ready for the
iron. The whole project is so far completed
that the company are now prepared to put
the whole line from Musca,ine to the juno
ton with the North Western road in condi>
ton for the iron, and to entertain PROPOSE
tions te run the road. The people Of Upton
and along the line Of the road have certain.
ly shown their confidence in the roads pay
ing by investing more than $l00, 900 in cash
in grading, bridging, etc. They have no,
appealed to outside aelp, bn. have put their
own shoulders to the wheel, and now they
seek the aid Of some company to iron ana
run the road. Now, if the North Western
company are one>half as shrewi as they usu.
ally are in securing feeders to their main
lines, they will not be slow in taking advan-
tage Of the liberal proposition the NJ. I. 4

by this bran,h, furnish all this splendid sec>
ton Of country with the nearest and most

HOW NAILS ARE NA DE.

The following is an abstract rom Parton
article about Pittsburgh in the Ata.tic
Monthly:
Nails are made thus: |. Pig iron is
rolled into long bars; 2. These long bars
are cut into lengths Of one foot; 3. These
lengths are piled into heaps of nine; 4.
These heaps Of nine are rolled into sheets as
thick as the nail is to be; 5. These sheets
are cut into strips little wider than the
nail is to be long; 6. These strips are Gu,
into nails by the mailing machine, which al>
so heads the nails as they fall A man holds
the strip Of iron in the machines jaws, which
instantly bites of nail. But nail tapers
of from the head to the point, and conse>
quently the strip has to be turned over be-
fore the machine can be allowed to bite
again. But for this necessity of turning,
the strip men could be dispensed with. I'M
agine room four times US large as the in
terror of Trinity Church, with rows of nail-
ing machines as close together as sewing
machines in clothing factory, and al on

rate Of thousand . minute.

ploys two hundred and ten men, forty boys,

QuEER EMPLOY MENr.

We heard a pretty good story the othel
day, where an honest>taced Hoosicr went to
fancy store store in Cincinnati, in hunt OF
situation. The proprietor was sitting il
the counting room, with his feet elevated
contemplating life through the soitening in,
1uence OF cigar smoke.
Our Hoosier friend addressed him as fol-
lows:
"Do you want to hire any man about
your establishment -
The clerk looked indifftre ntly, but seeing
his customer, concluded to have little fun
out OF him, So he answered very briskly, a,
the same time pulling ont q large and costly
handkerchief, and wiping his nose on It.
"Yes, sir what kind Of situation do you
want n
well, . I'm not particular, Tn out Of EN-,
ployment and almost anything win do me
for awhile"
Yes, can give you situation, if i,
will suit you.'

may begin at once"

Here, take this handkerchief and com,
mence with it.

putting the handkerchief into his pocket
walked out, remarking:

srEREOrYPING WITH PAPER.

To some Of our readers. it may be
interesting to learn how the forms
are prepared for use on the large
presses used in the daily offices.
The following account from the
Scientific American fully describes the
nsoti,4s operandi:
This is now in common use in ali
the principal daily newspaper estab-
lishments in New York. II is con-
Quoted substantially as follows: The
stereotyper first dries the form Of
types upon an iron steam table. The
form is then partially unlocked and .
hand brush is rubbed over the sur
tace Of the types, cleansing them pre-
paratory to placing over the entire
form sheet or sheets OF thin blank
no:e paper, Of the finest quality, pre-
viously wetted to insure the required
pliability. This paper being evenly
laid over the type., the workman takes
long handled brush made of short,
stiff Lristles With which hs beats the
vet paper evenly forcing it into all
the depressions Of the types, taking
care not to break the paper. This
work finished, dampsned sheet Of
thicker but more ordinary paper is
placed over the frat. This is also
brush-hammered down upon the types,
and followed by another sheet Of pa
per, thinly coated with preparation
of waiting and starch. Again the
brush is used to beat this LONE, after
which brown paper banking is put
on. and then the form Of types, COW
cred by the aforementioned sheets
Of paper, is trundled to another steam
table, where it 10 slid under . power

until the paper matrix is dryharden-

ing about twice as many. The matrix
is now peeled off from the form and
prepared for casting, by sitting it with
finely powered borax, which with
soft brush Is thoroughly rubbed into
the sunken surface left by the types.
The surplus borax having been re
moved, the matrix, which now resem-

ready for the casting box, which is
made Of iron, either straight or curved,
to suit the press bed. Handle irons
hold the matrix in its proper place at
the exact distance (about half al inch)
necessary for the thickness Of the
stereotype plate, which is made by
pouring a quantity OF hot type metal
into an open end of the casting box.
This metal dropping between one sui
face of the casting box and the sunk
en- surface OF the matrix, fills up the
latter without burning it. A few mo-
ments are allowed for cooling, and
then the matrix is stripped from the
warm plate, which il subsequently
prepared for the press by trimming
down all thick lines, or chiseling
away any superfluous metal, pairing
