A NOVELTY IN BRICK MAKING.

In adapting machinery to the manufacture
OF brick inventors have been unable hitherto to combine
in single machine the process Of tempering clay and
COMPRISING molds. This seems to have been accom-
pshed in machine now on exhibition In this city, The
mode OF operation is follows Clay dug from the
bank is thrown into cylindrical tub, where it Is ground
and thoroughly tempered by revolving knives from the
tub the clay passes under and forced into molds
revolving about central shaft each mold is provided
with false bottom running rollers along inclined
track, and tending TO compress the bricks and finally
thrust them out Of the molds AS the wheel reyoves
the bricks pressed up from below, and carried away
on an endless belt or apron in condition for the kiln
The entire work. from the shOveng In Of the clay to the
delivering OF the brick ~ drying is done by the ma
chine. Either steam or horse power can be employed,
and the practical capacity OF the machine 20 bricks per
minute. As the clay is thoroughly ground and tenn
pered and subsequently subjected to great pressure the
brick manufactured are claimed to be stronger ndmore
compact than those made by hand, while the employ
men Of metallic In place OF wooden molds supe
riorty in finish 1t Is claimed that by avoiding all the
work OF the od-fashioLad pits and dispensing with
skilled labor, the machine at least 80 per cent In
the cost OF manufacturing brick company, In which
Gov. Bross Is prominent stakeholder, Is actively en-
gagged In tho manufacture OF bricks by this process in
Chicago.

AN OLD EsTABL1sHMENT.- Firm as the
everlasting hills, established upon the prin-
ciples of ability and fair dealing, is the
practice of DR.. Bohannan, St. Louis. The
Doctor has given the best portion of his
life to a study of the nature of private dis
eases, and combining natural talent and
acquired knowledge, he has attained an
enviable position in his profession, and
claims with truth, that he can relieve and
cure all cases of private or acquired dis
eases that are within reach of human aid
Chronic ailments are also specially of his
practice, and these he asserts he can cure.
He uses no mercury, or other remedies that
exert deleterious effect upon the patient,
but only those remedies which he knows to
be effective and of merit. Nature furnishes
him the means Of effscting his marvellous
cures, and where vegetable remedies fail,
it is not wise to apply others. Consult his
advertisement.

WHAT Is VINUM VITEf

This wine ia prepared to take the place of
Whisky and other spirits known to be N ade up
of Fush Oil aud other deleterious articles. The
Wine OF Life 10 distilled with great care. espso-

and for the use of Medical Men and Nurses In
the sick room, in place of the villainous Brandy,
Wh1skey, and other Liquors now in use and 30
often depended upon. In fact, it is a constant
complaint of Physicians in this country, that is
is impossible to procure Brandy, Whiskey and
Wine for their patients. We ask the Medi-
Gel faculty and the public to give Warmers Vim
um Vita or Wine of Life trial, and we ask
chemists and physicians to enalyz it, then speak
OF 1t according to its merits, compare 1t with
Whiakey, Brandy, and other such articles and
see the difference. If they find the Wine of Life
is pure and wholesome, and the other Liquors
poisonous, (which they certainly will do,) then
they are morally bound to prescribe and recon-
mend the Wine of Life to their patients and
friends as the best stimulant and tonic in USE
an as a valuable substitute for Whiskey and
oranay but should they find it not pure and
what the proprietors claim for it, let them pub
molly denounce it. 1t is the PHYSICIANS duty to
learn and find out which is the most wholesome
sumusnt for his patients, and to do 60 he ruust
examine andlook into the quality of each article
and learn for himself if the Wine of Life has any
peculiar merits to warrant its general use. The
proprietors claim the Wine of Life to be more
wholesome and far superior and cheaper than
whlskey or brandy, or, in fact, any other article
IN common use, and ought to be used in every
family. Everybody should give it trial. 1t is
new thing, only been in use about one yesr,yet

THE BORE OF BALLs.-Msny of our read
ers who "trip the light fantastic toe will
doubtless recognize their own experience 10
the following review of the delights of a
fashionable ball, which we clip from an ex-
change:
If you are a member of that mysterious
circle called society, there will be some
painful evenings spent. in doing your duty
standing in q crowd, with white kid gloves
on your hands, and WEAKNESS in your heart.
We call this enjoying ourselves. You know
ell about it. Your shoes pinch you, but
YOU cannot sit down. Your companion
bores yea, but you must listen and smile
and smile and listen. If you move about
you tread on thirteen hideous dress trains
that drag themselves like half dead boa con-
strictors at the heels of their fair possessors.
You eat cake, drink coffee, though you
know it will give you headache in the
morning. You tell your hostess that YOU
have had a splendid time" though you are
conscious that you are telling a lie. fer your
conscience, if you have one, will reproact
you severely. This Sinking and smiling
and lying ourselves into the belief that the
torture of stand up dress party is a pleas
ure, is the greatest triumph of modern civil
izAtion.
