Poke Root

Wherever Poke Root grows, 1t has local
reputation as Blood Purifier, and for the
cure, of RheuI itism. With all this local
reputation, and the praise of distinguished
Physicians (Drs. Coe, Lee, King, Wilson M.
Hunt, Grifits, Copeland and others,) who
have tested its medical powers; it has been
neglected by the profession at large, as much
through awant of proper appreciation OF
its merits, as knowledge of the proper way
to prepare it for medicinal use. DR.. Oliver
Crook, Ia physician whodevotes his entire
time to the duties of his professiony has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities of Poke
Root during the last % years, and unhesi-
tatingly pronounees it to have MORE MERIT
for diseases depending ON depraved con-
diiion of the blood, than any and all other
articles named in the Materia Medica. Un-
der his instructions our Chemist has COM
bined the active medicinal qualities Of Poke
Root with the best Tonic Preparation of
Iron, and we offer this preparation to the
public under the above name. ,uoa .T

Manufacture of Hair Cloth.

AUR readers have no doubt, often
W wondered where all the hair is OBJ
tained for the manufacture Of hair cloth,
and how the manufacture is conducted.
There is hair cloth factory in Central
Falls, r. /. The hair used is that of
horses tails, and is imported from South
America and Russia; mostly from the
latter country. 1t is purchased at the
great annual fairs of Isbilt and Mini
Novogood. That purchased in June, at
the latter place, will be received in about
sixty days; and that bought at Isbilt, in
February, in about six months. As it
comes Of various colors, it is, for the pur-
pose of this manufacture, all dyed black.
A certain proportion, however, is pur-
chased in England and France, already
prepared for the loom. 1t is worth from
fifty cents to four dollars per pound, ac-
cording to length, the price increasing
in rapid ratio after the length attains "a
inches.
The CROUCH hair" or that which is
imported in its natural state, is hackl ed,
and the shortest sold to the manufacturers
of mattresses, it being first curled After
being hackled the different lengths are
combed out, assorted, tied in punches,
and made ready for coloring, After this
process, the punches are carefully in
spected, measured, and put away for the
loom. The cloth is made in widths of
from fourteen to thirty-two inches.
Contrary to the popular idea, the hair
is not, as a rule, round A section under
the microscope shows a form as though a
third of circle had been cut off, and
the fiat portion slightly indented This
conformation causes some difficulties in
the manipulation, which require great
skill and the most delicate machinery to
overcome. A bunch of hair which has
been soaked in water is placed position,
and the individual hairs are picked mp, to
be, by the shuttle, laid carefully in the
weft. If the machine fails to take hair,
which occasionally happens in practice,
it continues its effort until it succeeds,
the other portions of the machinery stand
ing still in the mean time. The shuttle
is an awkward looking, but most delicate
ly operating implement. The hair must
not be bruised, and it must not be stretch
ed the necessity for such gentle manipu-
lation has led to the idea that no ma
chinery could be constructed capable Of
performing the operation with sufficient
exactitude and regularity; but this, as we
have seen, is now shown to be a fallacy.

HOW's This for High.

One day | was out huntin' in the Rock
les, an sgettin' leetle out O. the regular
course, l at last fotched up at the foot O.
the tarnelest, highest mountain l ever
seed. | thought I'd crawl to the top an
take look to see whar | war. Well,
continued on fur about week, an l at
last got to the top But couldn't see no.
where's an nothin'; fur wur up too
high. All on suddent, notion took
me to fire off old Roarer-this gun-an'
see if couldn't skeer up somethin'. -
But not seein' anything arter the fire, /
conclu ded to load up. Well it jest SO
happened it war about the time of the
new moon, an she war sailin' majesti-
cally by me, an having nowheres else
to put the powder-fask-ye see there war
no trees up so high,--I jes' flung the
string O. the flask round the pint O her
horn, aud perceded with the rest o the
job. But by cracky when I'd rammed
the ball an reached for the flask it warn't
there--the moon had been goin' all the
time, and war good way off,"
"Ha! ha !" laughed one of the lis
teners, thinking he had the old fellow in
a tight place, "what did you do then
without your powder ?"
"Why," said Dick, 81 jest waited
till she kim round the next night, an TUX
it off," and then concluded that was
all right for high"

Gods Ways and Ours.

We are apt to believe in Providence
so long as we have our own way; but if
things goawry, then we think, if there is
a God, he is in heaven, and not on earth.
The cricket in the Spring builds his
little house in the meadow, and chirps for
JOY, because all is going so we'll with him.
But when he hears the SOUNDS of the
plough few furrows off, and the thunder
ofthe oxen's tread, then the skies began
to look dark, and his heart fails him
The plough comes craunching along, and
turns his dwelling bottom side up, and as
he goes rolling over and over without
home he says, ooh the foundations Of the
world are destroyed, and everything is
going to ruin y
But the farmer who walks behind the
plough, singing and whistling as he goes,
does he think the foundations of the
world are breaking upY Why, he does
not 80 much as know there was any house
or cricket there. He thinks of the har
vest which is to follow the track of the
plough; and the cricket, too, if he will
but wait, will find thousand blades Of
grass where there was but one before.
We are like the crickets. If anything
happens to overthrow our plans, we think
all is going to ruin.-Beecher.

A Grammatical Decision.

The New York Tribune decides that
the plural of titmouse is titmouses, an not
titmice. "On the same principles" says
another paper, Z" the plural of tailor's
goose is gooses," as, indeed, we hold that
it is. l...I
This reminds us of an anecdote in re-
gard to country merchant who wanted
two of these tailors' irons, several years
ago, and ordered them of Messrs. d. & S.,
hardware merchants, then doing business
in Phila. He first wrote this order:
"Please send me two tailors' gooses."
Thinking that this was bad grammar,
he destroyed it, and wrote this one:
Please send me two tailors geese"
Upon reflection, he destroyed this one
also, for fear he would receive live geese
He thought over the matter till he was
very much worried, and at last, in a
moment of desperation, he seized his pen
and wrote the following, which was duly
mailed:
Messrs ID & s.: Please send me one
tailor's goose, and, d-n it, send me an.
other"
This was the only way he knew of to
order two Of them; but of course he had
not read the above wise decision then.

The metal Is then brushed quite violently

ations A gold eagle will gild 500 watches.
The Jewels used in the Elgin watch are
mostly garnet; for the best watches sap
phlre or ruby. The garnet is got In Brazil.
Some good specimens have lately been
brought from Montana. irhe garnet comes
in little bits, irregulnrly shaped, some half
an inch square and third thick. These
are sawn into slabs, which are fastened on
to plates with shcllac, and then sawn into
minute parts. These again are turned and
inserted into almost invisible cavities and
constitute the sockets in which the piyots
turn. All the pinions of the National watch
turn upon jewels. The garnet is also used
for the pallet of the escapement. Sohard
is this jewel that after years of constant
friction against brass and steel no marks Of
abrasion appear upon 1t.
The dial is made of enamel in a plastic
state, resting upon copper plate. The en-
amel is hardened i'm furnace and then pol
ished. The lettering and figuring which
appear on the face are done entirely by
| hand. Machinery has not as yet been APP
piled to this part of watch manufacture.
The National Watch Company claim fCr
their watches superiority over all others in
these respects: A better escapement, long
err regulator, quickness of the train a
device for preventing injury to the train in
case of the breaking of the "click," or the
handspring; the "hair-spring stud" by
which the hair-spring can be put at once
into place, when IL is removed for repairing
the watch or other purpose. They also
temper all hair-sprngs used in any grade
Of their watch, while other companies tenn
| per only those for their best Watches
The National Company are now making
IL different movements" the best of which
is the "B. w. Raymond" This can be
bought in silver cases for about $50; in gold
cases for about double that sum- Five
hundred operatives are employed in this
factory, half of whom are women. The
work is neat, and they look finely and earn
good wages. Thirty-six thousand watches
are made here annually. J.E.

A correspondent of the Keene Sentinel

which occurred on the Dist of May, is like
the removal of an ancient landmark. He
was born in Wallingford, Ct, March 10,
1888. At the time of his death he was the
oldest citizen of Hlnsdale. For few years
he resided and did business in Coopers-
town, n. v, and immigrating from thence,
took up his abode in IIinsdale In the year

ISTR.STIO.r.

Certainly the administration has not
been 50 brilliant us many might desire;
hut il has been better than we had a right
10 expect. We took man without civil
experience OF course We expected him
to make blunders in many matters of de-
TAIL; but in what great questions has Gen.
Grant disappointed the just hopes of the
people? He has made an economical adj
ministration. over two hundred millions
of the national debt have been extinguish-
ed, and the reduction still goes ON. over
eighty millions of taxes have been taken
off; and the payment of debt relieves us
besides of an annual burden of twelve
millions of interest. He has made peace
full administration. The Quaker policy
has Kept us out of serious contests with
the Indians. If we have not done all that
the case of Cuba seemed to demand, we
have at least had no war about it, when
war would have been easy, and with the
baser sort, would have been popular. If
We have not had the South thoroughly pac-
iued, we have at least avoided the harsh
measures to which a soldier must have
been provoked by the excuses in that
quarter, but from which we could only
have expected further postponement Of
The day of perfect peace. We have kept
the peace on the Canadian border even
when the temptation to the cheap popular
ity Of winking at Fenian invasion was
the greatest. And now We have put the
Alabama question, with all its terrible re-
sponsibilties behind us forever. He has
made law-abiding administration. He
has had no will to enforce against the will
of the people. Strongly sympathizing
with the Cubans, ne has yet recognized and
respected the popular Discrimination, espec-
tally at the West, to assume any response
hility for their struggle. Fervently anX-
ious for the annexation of San Domingo,
he has yet waived his policy, in Difference
10 the opposition of some of our oldest and
ablest republicans, and has RENTED the
whole question to the decision of the coun-
try. And yet, this economical and peace
lul and law-abiding administration is open
to such plausible attacks and liable to such
popular preiudices on petty but Unlocking
points, that it is not clear that it has added
to the Republican strength with which it
came into power. \ few thousand votes,
then, in three states, would have changed
the result tit is by no means clear that
We have any greater security now. In
1872, as in 1868, we may still.be found de-
pendent on the follies of the enemy for
success. But if the enemy should aban-
don his folly --? --N y. TribUnc. June

away most horrible sight was presented.
Three OF the women in the middle OF the
row between the mon were still living and
writhing in awful agony. A second volley
was fired, and third, and not until the
sixth did all the prisoners cease TO live.
The dead bodies were then flung into three
scavenger carts and carried away to be
buried.
Later reports indicate that order again
reigns in the city. The barricndes are lev
elled, the streets are cleared and there is
safety for human life. The confagrations
have long since ceased, public fears have
subsidized and trade IL reported reviving.
Yet arrests are going on and precautionary
measures have been taken to prevent fur
ther instruction. The majority of the As
sembly are said TO favor the removal of
the restrictions placed on the Bourbon
princes and to OK tend the executive power
of Theirs for two years. There are as yet
no indications of an appeal TO the the pleb-
lscitum, In which Louis Napoleon confid-
ed, and tho re are grounds for more than
suspecting that Theirs is using his influ-
ence for the restoration Of Orleanism.
Much is rumored Of the activity of the a
gents both of Bourbonism and Bonapar-
