How to Purchase Clothes Wringer

In purchasing a clothes wringer we
prefer one with cog-wheels as they
greatly relieve the rubber roll from
strains which would otherwise occur,
and add much to the durability of the
machine. The next point is to see
that the cog wheels are so arranged as
not to fly apart when large article is
passed between the rollers. 1t matters
not whether the cog-wheels are on one
end or both ends of the shaft; if large
articles disconnect them, they are en-
tirely useless. This is very important,
for as the larger the article, the great
er the strain, therefore if the cog-wheels
separate SO as to disconnect, they are
of no service when most needed. We
have taken some pains to examine the
various wringers, and much prefer the
" Universal as lately improved, be
cause it has long and strong gears (Ro-
wells Patent Double Gear, and is the
only wringer with patent stop" for
preventing the cog-wheels from separa-
ting SO far as to lose their power.

the kind of wringer mentioned above,
we fully endorse all that is said of it
by our New England contemporary

Archaeological Discovery.

In one Of the towers of the Porta
SAHARA, at Rome, the most important
archaeological discovery of the present
year was made. T. was that of the
monument of boy of twelve years of
age. He was most wonderful. scholar,
and had made such progress in Greek
poetry that he had composed Il lyric of
great merit His parents, wishing to
keep his memory green, sculptured his
likeness dressed in the manly toys,
which he had bee allowed to assume
and engraved the poem in the niche in
which the statue was placed. The po-
en- is SO excellent that it is considered
an addition to the ancient Greek litera-
ture One wonders how long this stat
ne and all its inscriptions might have
been buried IN the towers at the Porta
SAHARA, but for the bombs of the Doth of
September, which made them SO unsafe
that they were pulled down, and thus
the hidden treasure was brought to
light

y correspondent of the St Jouis
republican of the DIST inst writes as
follows concerning the way In which
cattle are raised IN Texas:
As the cattle item seems to be oener-
ally understood as the big thing in this
State, | Will go through with the bust
ness iirst, and begin by saying that in
the very rich and fiat lands near the
gEif and west OF the Brazos, cattle viii
keepin good order ON therange through
the winter, but in the greater part OF
the State they suffer for food in the
months OF January and February, and
sometimes us late as March. A visitor
here will he told by an old settler that
he has seen as fine, fat beef at the end
of winter, from grass alone as ever was
seen III the corn-helds Of the Northern
Safes. | will explain this 50 that no
one will fail to understand the matter
properly.
In parts of Texas the grass grows
sufficiently rank and thick to protect
itself from frost during the winter,
and will furnish very good TODD for
cattle until the spring growth comes
mp and grazing is plenty everywhere
This Is only the case where there are
few cattle ranging. for ii the grass is
eaten off short during summer, my
word for 1t the pastures will be poor
through the winter, and ere the spring
months bring fresh supply many of
the broad-horn tribe Will be stretched
out on the plains to be proved on by
the crows. Now all this cattle buis-
ness is a splendid hUmbug, ia one res
pect, and has done more injury than
good to the State. The ranger fills the
place of the Indian, and is an improve
ment on Mr.. g o only in having Il
winter skin. He is worth no more to
the State than an Indian who has no
gun and no tomahawk or scalping
knife Their number is very limited,
but they have ruled the country with
their Wild cattle, which roam every
where, to the injury of every settler
who might choose to come here and
pillow the ground.
Instead OF being a blessing as many
suppose, this embarrassing business, IN
the way ii is done here, is positive
curse to the State, and had it not been
Tor tins very thing tine advantages OF
Texas rs a farming State would have
drawn Il population here long since

worth as much as the butchers pay

Missouri pay for veal month old.
The difference Is that il costs some
thing to keep a calf one month IN the
blue grass land, but it does not cost
the ranger here anything to keep a
calf four or five years. His cattle roam
over and live on land owned by other
people La this way it is an easy mat
ter TO raise cattle. All one has to do
is to get some cows, mustang and
branding iron, turn Indian, and chase
the calves IN the summer with a lasso
and burn your name ON their sides,
and in four or five years you viii have

way cattle raising is carried on at pres
ent, and until the ranger Is played out,

fashioned like a tray, with one side two
and half feet high and the other four
inches. The front end is opened, and
the rear end closed. 1t is drawn by
