OLD DOMINION
cider Ind VINE MILL.

THE OLD DOMINION is the most popular
Mill sold in Virginia, we having sold nearly four
hundred ourselves. 1t is made with two tubs for
pressing, SO that the Mill and Press can both be
kept constantly at work.
Instead of the old fashioned graters we have
adopted the crushing rollers, which all admit to
be tie best mode OF extracting the juice from
the apple. This mill man be run by hand or
horsepower. The following may be mentioned
among the decided advantages Of the sold Do

LIST. 1t is so simple that the most incxperienc-
ed cannot fail to understand the principle of OPP
Grating it at once, and so strong that the most
careless cannot get it out of order sas.

that it be adapted to the grinding of all kinds
of fruit.

and the most inexperienced cannot misplace the
receivers.
The popularity of the grinding rollers is SUCH,
that the apple is thoroughly crushed, and larg-

same amount of apples than by the use of any
other Portable Mill

These have to do with that sweot charity
which oovereth multitude Of sins--the gal
liant consideration shown to prisoners taken ON
either side, the tender care Of the sick and
wounded, the timely and becoming burial Of the
dead. As the captured French Of Wissembourg

to offer them rest and bread and wine, and

tie field Of Woerth, almost ere the smoke began
to clear away, the white badges of the surgeons
and nurses, authorized by the International
Convention at Geneva, were seen moving
about among the heaps Of dead and dying. But
everywhere, all over Europe and America, the
angelic hand of woman Is stretched forth to
aid and save. With them-mourning mothers,
sisters and wives as thousands of them soon
may be, or, perchance, are now, even while
we writs-there is no distinction of cause or
nationality. The Empress Eugenie and tho
Queen of Prussia alike have fastened to the
blessed work, and every day adds to the army
of those who, amid oil this frightful evil, 60

Our criminal records from day to day are
BILE crimes. In fact, despite our police system
and what we claim as our advanced civiliza-
ton, the story of murder, outrages upon the
person, and rapine generally, runs along hour
by hour, one chapter more horrible than an
other. late case-we will not say the latest,
because few hours must elapse between the
writing of this article and its publication, and
new horror may arise in the meantime-but
late case of extraordinary atrocity was that
which occurred in Eighty-ninlh street on
Tuesday, where a young, virtuous girl, en-
ployed as household servant, was forcibly
violated by her emplOyer-he having obtained
entrance to her room through the fanlight-
and afterwards was savagely beaten and thrust
out into the street almost naked. 1t appears
by the statement of this rufian's wife whom,
1t is said, he treats most brutally, that the vic
tim in this case is not the first one who has been
similarly treated by Linn, for that is the fell
lows name. 1t appears that he Is in the habit
Of employing young girls as house servants, in
the Labor Exchange at Castle Garden, and
grossly matreating them when he gets them
| into his lair. So his wife is alleged to have
stated.
| We thought that the Labor Exchange excr-
| cised some precaution as to the character of
the parties to whom poor girls were
hired out If it does not, but IL the institution
simply obtains employms mt for them, regard
less of the society into which they
may be transferred or the dangers
that beset their youth and virtue,
| then we think that the Labor Exchange is but
doing half its duty. 1t is as essential for the
| good of the employee to know the character Of
the employer as 1t is for the employer to get a
recommendation with the employee. In cases
of poor friendless servant girls this is still
more important as the facts in this case of
Linn show. But there is feature In this
| peculiar manner. It is stated that two Off
GERS who were called upon by the poor out
ragged girl to arrest the offender declined to
do so on the ground that 'it would be as
much as their situations were worth TO arrest
Linn" What does this mean? Is Linn 30
desperate u praVo tnat TWO pOllcemen were
afraid to grapple with him, or is he SO potent
apolitician that the officers dare not lay hands
upon him? The Police Commissioners will
have to settle the matter with the officers and
the public If the conservators of the peace
are allowed to sneak away from duty upon
such pretexts it would be well to know it.
People will then comprehend the value of a
policeman when political rowdy tralsgresses
the law and comes into violent collision with
peaceful citizens. Il is 10 be hoped that the
authorities will follow up this case and bring
the career of the flemish perpetrator OF the
| crime to an end.

The RED RIVER INSURGENTS appear to have
been caught in the trap set for them by their
more cunning Kanuck neighbors. Before the
Canadian expeditionary force started from the
shores of Lake Superior for tho Red River
country terms Of settlement of existing diff
crlties had been agreed upon between officials
OF the imperial government and commissioners
appointed by the Winnipeg Legislature, and
one Of these terms was that full pardon and
amnesty should be granted to all parties con-
cerned in the insurrectionary movement.
With this understanding the insurgents laid
down their arms, Riel disbanded his
troops, and the Canadian forces were
sufeged to march through the wilder
ness to the Northwestern settl ements
unmolested. The Canadian government, now
that it has sufficiently large body of troops
at Winnipeg to suppress any further insur-
rectionary attempts, throws off all disguise
and declares that no such agreement was en-
tered into, and If any amnesty is proclaimed
those persons concerned in the execution Of
Scott will be specially excepted from it's pro-
visions, and that In regard to them the law
must take its course. This certainly is taking
mean advantage Of the misunderstanding by
the Winnipeg commissioners of the terms of the
agreement, and we doubt if the Wiunipeggers
will permit Riel to be arrested without q
stubborn resistance.

A BATTLE IN lRELAND.-By special cable
telegram from Dublin we learn that desperate
fight occurred between the Queens troops and
a body of Catholic citizens in Londonderry
yesterday. Three persons were killed and
quite number wounded The Orangemen
and Catholics got through the day apparently
in quiet, but the Catholics and the soldiers
came, it appears, in collision. new phase
in the Irish agitation, and of significance In
the present condition Of Europe.
COLLISION IN THE HARBoR.-About eight
o'clock last night, US the steamer Norwalk
was returning from Coney Island, having on
board some six hundred passengers, when
between Red Hook and Bedloes Island, she
was run Into by the schooner Lady Ella and
cut down nearly to the waters edge. A tug
boat was fortunately at hand and towed the
steamer to dock at Brooklyn, when she
filed and sunk. Six persons lost their lives
by this collision, and eight others are missing.
This disaster is attributed to the negligence
or incompetency of the pilot Of the Norwalk,
and his conduct on the occasion has already
attracted the attention Of the authorities.
