The money market rules quiet, with
little doing in financial circles. The

bankers are running close and advancing
very little on the new crop OF cotton Al
the same time the planters, in most cases,
are able to take care OF themselves hence

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1871-11-09

In the construction OF the machine
just described we have curious Illus.
tration OF the manner in which old ma
chimes are combined TO form new ones
of greater utility. The heading appar-
atus has been used in Illinois and adj
lacent states for a number of years
past. the beads being simply stacked
until dry enough to thresh; the thresh-
ing and winnowing devices, except in
being driven by the wheels of the muin
frame, do not differ materially from the
ordinary stationary apparatus, while the
outlet spout hooks and side
platform are found in the machinery of
almost any Touring mill. Nevertheless,
united with each other they promise TO
supersede the system hitherto mainly
IN use on the Pacific coast. This was
to cut the standing grain and draw it,
straw and ali, TO some central location
in the field, and there thresh it with
stationary thresher operated by belt
from steam engine mounted on a
wheeled frame, which enabled it to be
easily moved from place TO place.

Bourbon Whisky.

The way old Bourbon whisky is made
is brought to light through contro-
versy going on between n man named
Gutter who claims the right of manu-
featuring what is known as the Gutter
Whisky, and some parties chat Laye
been making spurious article. It is
contained in n letter from Louisville,
which says
"Thc tea havoring you speak Of is
very good. have also used carrots.
Take them and cut them into very
small pieces, and parch them the same
as coffee, put them IN good spirits or
rum, and let it stand for few weeks.
1t adds very much TO the age Of whisky.
Don't You think it will do vol to mix

A Bull in a Chi3a-Shop

A singular accident happened the 9th
er day in the streets OF London A
huge steam roller was III Pail Mall on
On It's way 10 St James Park to be used
on some paving work At II o'clock
the driver of the engine concluded to
go and get his dinner. He therefore
shut off steam, and left the engine
standing near a statue in front Of the
Pail Mall restaurant. A crowd OF people
soon gathered round, including some
mischevious boys, one of whom got on
the engine and managed in some way to
start it. The locomotive, to the dismay
of the bystanders, started off, at first
slowly, but continually increasing its
speed, and presently spread consterna
ton all around. Its first direction was
for the statue, which it would prob
ably have overthrown, if not de-
molished, but when close up to
it, the engine turned capriciously al
most at a right angle, went straight
across the street, and into the shop of
a photographer colorist. Its entrance
was effected by the window, which was
totally smashed, and not only this, but
the heavy stone facade underneath the
glass was also shattered to fragments.
Several ladies standing in front of the
window were slightly hurt, and one
gentleman seriously. Two other ladies
tainted III the crowd, and, being tram
pied under foot, received bad, though
not dangerous injuries. The devasta-
ton committed by the unruly machine
in the window, which was full of pic
lures and other fragile articles, is said
TO have been Understandable. A ball in
a china shop could have been nothing

Moses I'm the Bulrushes.

Il remarkable character in Dubfin,
thirty or forty years ago, was a blind
beggar, known as Zo2imus, who rosit-
ed or acclaimed pieces of his own com
position, interspersed with odd asides
10 the crowd. One of his striking and
effective readings was that of r,suan-
tic version of the story of Moses in the
bulrushes, and he always prefaoed itlby
inquirlng, lis there crowd around
me, nowl Is there any blackguard
hereto listening TO me2' Having been
satisfied on these points, Nogimus is
reported to have delivered series OF
stanzas, of which the following may
serve as specimen.
In Egypts land, upon the banks of Mia

Noble Work Done in Milwaukee.

Nothing illustrates the noble charac-
ter OF people like their efforts 10 re-
lleve the sutlerings of their fellow men.
The character of the benevolence of
our citizens is illustrated fully in their
behalf of the sufferers from our recent
devastating fires. Milwaukee was
earliest IN Che field IN getting supplies
into the burning city of Chicago, and
she dld it IN enormous quantities, and
with an energy that showed her Will.
Our citizens, men and women, are at
work, every day getting together
supplies, sorting them, and sending
them off to various points. Hundreds
are thus employed every day Supplies
from abroad are here overhauled, and
sorted and separated that the right
things may go TO the right places. This
labor is enormous. We are finding out
wants everywhere by thorough cam
vass, and supplying them with all pos
sible dispatch. And for the raising of
money, we are far from being behind.
In obedience to the expressed wish of
our citizens and a resolution adopted
by the Relief Committee, the Common
Council have levied tax OF ftty NostS-
and doI3orS, to be expended through
the city officers and the Relief Commit
tee, for sufferers by the recent fires. 49,
And our citizens have also contributed
by careful estimates, about fifty thous-
and dollars more. And when con-
sidered that the losses from the recent
fires, upon The people of our own city,
are estimated at two millions of dollars,
a good estimate of the character of
