CLIPPER MOWERS AND

Tue CLIPPER MACHINE as now constructed
arc the only Mowers built which come up to the
advanced stage of improvement found in othei
Agricultural Implements. The light, elastic steel
hay fork, steel hoes and shovels have entirely
Superseded the heavy and clumsy wrought iron
ones, which no far would nor think of using
a Mower built of appropriate materials and like
inish, will supersede the present clumsy mac inc,
made mostly of wood and cast iron.
Builders of other Mowers have been too much
Influenced by desire to lesson their cot, and
have employed wood and cast iron, where wrought
and malleable iron ought only OF have 'een used.
n the Clipper Machine iron has been largely sub
ttuted for wood. nialeable iron tor cast iron and
steel in place of maleable or wrought iron.
An examination OF the Clippers will convince
any of their superior merits over all Others in
strength, durability OF draft aud reliability
for the work over all kinds OF ground and in every
variety Of grass. Confident OF this we invite those
in want of Machises to examine tor themselves
before purchasing elsewhere.

The Value Of Advertising.

Mr.. S. II. Paryin, advertising
agent in this city, says the Cincin.
natl Commercial, who transacted
business with a large number of
newspapers throughout the coun.
try, gives US the following curious
statement as to his experience in
these hard times:
"The necessity of a thorough but
judicious system of advertising
was never SO forcibly impressed
upon my mind as it has been with.
in the past few weeks, although I
have studied advertising Tor eigh-
teen years.
"With my customers, those that
have advertised largely, and have
not curtailed the amount of their
advertising through the stringen-
cy of our money market, have, to
my surprise, paid up in full prompt
ly as accounts became due, but not
so with those that have curtailed
and advertised sparingly. They
find it difficult to settle small ac-
counts"

CONSUMPTION.

A writer in the atlantic Monthly
gives some startling evidence TO
prove that consumption is mainly
caused by the dampness surround
ing the abodes of those attacked
by the disease. He says that ex-
tended and repeated observations
in England and Massachusetts,
show beyond doubt that, other
things being equal, consumption
among the people is in direct pro-
portion with the moisture Of the
localities where they live. He
thinks that consumption is in no
ordinary sense a hereditary disease,
and believes that with proper pre-
cautions in building houses in dry
places, and draining wet places
where houses are already built,
this terrible disease may be robbed
of full one-third of its victims at
once, and may be eventually BAN
ished from among men entirely.
If these are facts-and we do not
doubt them-they are of sufficient
Importance to invite municipal
and legislative action. We do
not see why law enforcing pre-
cautions and regulations which
which the medical faculty might
recommend should not be passed,
and inspectors appointed to carry
out its provisions. 1t is as reasona-
BILE to legislate against consumption
as against yellow fever.

The Eloquent Mullins

From the Cincinnati Times.
Mullins was the spread-eagle or.
ator Of the Tennessee Legislature.
He is now in Congress, expressing
his ideas by declaring "we are a
city on hill;" being such, the city
must "not put the light under a
bushel." We are not only city,
but Lighthouse" 'to go forth, .
and, when it is forth, to break ''fet-
ters of the enslayed and to destroy
kingly dorninions." Being city,
and also lighthouse, and doing
these extraordinary light house
performances, Mullins says we
should spread out our arms, not
as cities and lighthouses ordinari-
~ do, but ''like seas" to invite
those in bondage 70 come to US.
This brilliant imagery sis es-
pecially worthy of note, as Mul-
Inns used to say in the Tennessee
Legislature every day or two.

How a Planter Saved his
Cotton.

An intelligent planter of Ala
bama entirely escaped the ravages
of the caterpillar last year, although
it destroyed the cotton upon eve
ry other plantation in his county.
His crop was the finest he ever
raised. The caterpillars came up
to the fields of all his next door
neighbors, but they did not cross
his fences. The reason for this was
ne issued the sternest orders that
not a single bird, except the jay,
should be killed on his plantation
under any pretext whatever. He
allowed little willow groves to
grow in his fields, and 10 them he
sent sack of oats every morning,
which was scattered upon the
ground. The birds fed upon the
oats, and swarmed in thousands
around bis fields. They ex-
terminated the cotton fly. And
hence as there were no eggs, there
were no caterpillars; there were
no larve; but there was a bloom
ing garden in the midst of blight
ed wilderness. There is no evil
without a cure. We know of no
species of bird which ought TO be
killed off, except the common jay.
they are deadly enemies and the
common murderers of almost every
species of the feathered tribe
They rob nests, suck the eggs, rob
them of the young and eat them.
These ornithological oannibals
should be killed for this reason.

James Bowie and Henry
Clay.

Reverdy Johnson used to tell a
tstory of Henry Clay, apropos of
himself. Think in some previous
letter have told you that Reverdy
married Mary Bowie, a cousin of
James or "Jeems" Bowie, the in.
ventor of the Bowie knife.
One day Henry Clay who had
arrived in Frederic, Maryland, by
stage coach from Wheeling, met
Reverdy Johnson in the street.
"Reyerdy," he said, II have just
had an extraordinary acquaint-
ance back here at Cumberland
A man got half of my seat in the
stage coach, a little, knotty, freck-
led fellow, and on the next seat
were a man and bis wife; on the
third seat a couple Of big men,
We had no sooner started and got
clear of Cumberland than one of
the big men on the forward seat
lit a cigar. He puffed and pulled,
till in a little while the stage coach
was tull Of strong fumes and the
woman grew very sick. She asked
her husband to raise the window,
and, still unable to bear the smoke,
told him she must lean upon his
lap.
The husband leaned over and
said to the big man
"My wife is sick. Please do
not smoke by her side"
The big man smoked like blast
chimney and paid no heed what
ever. The woman grew fainter
and coughed Ny blood was boil
ing, but | knew the man could
double me up and throw me out Of
the window.
Suddenly the little being at my
side leaned forward, pulled a bowie
knife out of his collar, and said to
the smoking giant:
"Yes,you damned son-of-a-pussy,
throw away that cigar, or I'll split
you into half applesl lam James
Bowie"
"The man" concluded Mr.. Clay, |
dropped the cigar like an autom-
atom, and we had not a word spoken |

The "Loil" Cuss OF the
South.

81 never hear of this loyal eIe.
ment in the South" writes Don
Piatt, "that l am not disposed to
grin, having had opportunity for
observation. | remember once,
during the war, calling ON the late
lamented, in company with Gen
eral Rosecrans. We were fresh
from West Virginia, and the Gen
erals kind heart was full of afflic-
tion for the loyal element of that
State. l said nothing, but MIR.
Lincoln, observing that / grinned,
at last turned and asked me what
| thought of the loyal clement of
West Virginia?
"Wel}, Mr.. President" l res
ponded, 81 have been in Virginia
nearly year, and so far as | can
discover, General Rosecrans is
correct in his division. We have
the disloyal element and the loyal
element-and the difference be-
tween them is this, the disIoyal
man joins the army and shoots
at you, on principle-the loyal
man gets behind the holly bush
and shoots at you for your boots"
"The meaning of which is" add
u. P, "that the man or woman
who was disloyal to his or her
section during thai terrible war
is hardly worth taking into ae-
count. And thatrule applies with
equal force to the North as to the
South"

THEATRES IN CHINA.--A Chinese
theatre seems to be a very droll. af.
fair; there are no reserved seats,
but those who wish for good places
climb up into the rude scaffolding.
Plays must be very popular, for
they are going on all day. A ticket
qualities the holder to stay two
hours, but 1T appears it is difficult
at times to get rid of the spectators,
who try to remain surreptitiously
for the next performance. To ex-
pedite their retreat the manager
has contrived a sort of fire engine,
which deluges with streams of
water those who dishonesty. lag

A little incident recently oc-
Cured in Nashville courtroom
which might have astonished an
English Justice, but which failed
to disturb the equilibrium or gray
ity of a Western'J udge. The de-
Tending attorney in murder case,
Major Clare, understood the Attor-
ney-General of Tennessee, Mr..
TutLill, to say that he had lied.
Major Clare thereupon struck Mr..
Tuthill in the back of the,head.-
A hand-to-hand fight ensued; the
parties were finally separated
The Attorney-General then ex-
planned that his learned friend had
misunderstood him, and he had in
tended no insult whatever. The
Judge smiled serenely, related. an
auecdote appropriate to the occa-
sion, and trusted that the little
incident would be forgotten,

The Golden Tenpter.

One had wealth, another beauty;
Oh twas hard indeed to choose
Either prize was worth the winning,
Each too great by far to lose;
One was rich, and one was handsome
Wealth was ugly, beauty poor
Beauty maketh Wealth more wealthy,
Wealth increases Beauty's store.
"Rob the one and wed the other
Silence, tempter, get thee gone;
What are both devoid of honor?
Worse than either when alone.
Conscience is not bribed by riches,
Wealth is not slave for crime;
Crime will stain the soul forever,
Conscience rack you in your prime.
Limbs to labor, brain to guide them,
Health TO keep them firm and strong,
And Il lass brimful of beauty,
Ares fortune to the young;
These are mine, and / shall leave them,
Cozened by deceitful gold?
Get thee gone, thou bold deceiver,
Tempt me when I'm getting old.
