OFFICE OF
Blanchard Maine State Boiler Co.

NNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
4 tanning 1900 feet OF heating surface, built upon a
new principle, namely that Of stsppinS the vertical
chcxt1tieR, accomplished by means Of two horisoa-
tat dtaphrogms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. BY this ar
rangement there is maintained three Temperatures of
water. :
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tuDeS IN the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
IN the third compartment. By this operation, the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace their
way to the smoke stack, or chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water. "
While doing average work, coupled with good
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will sbew so
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler Of the same heating surface in the
MARKET and will continue to do so, long it is
used, and we will back guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the iced water being gradually heated it ascends
mona the lower to theupper compartment
We would especially call the attention Of Railroad
men to the following facts that while running this
boerwith coal or wood the sparks neutralzed,
and none have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney,
before realized.
Combining ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties In want OF Steam Boilers to give us
a call.

Tom Mast at Home.

From the Washington Chronicle.l
Mr.. Mitchell was the bearer of cordial
letter of thanks from the Republican Con-
gressional Committee to his friend, Thos.
Mast, of Harper's, for effective and stirring
work during the recent campaign. 1t was
at Mr.. Mitchell's suggestion that the COM
mittee determined to Introduce Nasts
mastery cartoons into the documents of
the campaign, and the, manner in which
they were called for was sure evidence of
their convincing and telling power.
Mr.. Mitchell visited Mast at his pleasant
country home in Morristown, n. j., and
found him highly elated over the great
victory, and hard at work on a crushing
picture for the next issue of Harper's.
He is very pleasantly situated in his ele-
giant home, surrounded by a very inter
esting family, having a most estimable
Yankee girl for a helpmeet, and three
bright, well-mannered children to brighten
his household. His house is most costly
furnished, and displays high artistic cul-
ture in the selections and grouping of the
various and rich works of art and orna-
mentation.
In his library are many valuable works
chiefly pertaining to art or history, giving
evidence Of the care exercised in making
selections, as to the accuracy and value of
the matter between the covers rather than
to ornamentation or glitter of binding
His portfolios contain many rare and eX-
ceedingly fine engravings, and draw
ings, embracing different rules and
methods.
Mr.. Mast was highly gratified at the
contents of the committees letter, and
with modest pride expressed himself ac-
Cordingly. There is very little romance
about this artist. He is man Of practical
ideas and clear convictions, an artist OF
mastery conception and eXhaustless re-
source, never acting without a pure
motive. His talent is unpurchasable, and
if, with his unerring pencil, he hits people
who hardly deserve, it is because they are
in the way, or in bad company. In mat
ters of controversy he don't believe an
adversary should be handled with gloves
but rather aggressively; still, always
fairly.
The campaign has been one of severe
toll TO Mr.. Mast, but the consciousness o.
being right has given strength and agility
to the artists seemingly eXhaustles'
power.

Beecher on Labor.

Last Sunday the following passage oc-
Cured in H. w. Beecher's sermon:
A man who has been hard worker all
boy. I'll give him chances l never had.
I'll give him a good education yes, I'll
make lawyer out of him." Immoder-
ate laughter In the month of June
there will be 100000 blossoms on every
apple tree. There will be about 800 apples
and the remainder will drop to the ground.
1t is the same in all professions. Out of
100000 candidates there will only be 800
professional men.
/ venture to say that there are 5000
young men here between 20 and 80 years
of age who have nothing to do.
Thousands of young men would starve
to death on hundred acres of land be
cause they couldn't raise corn. They would
be houseless and homeless in a lumber
yard-barefooted with all the leather in
the Swamp at their command. They have
abandoned work, and want something
nice and easy. l think that the respecta-
BILE German in his six by nine attic, peg
ging away at his last, is much more re-
spectacle than the young man who left his
fathers farm before he learned to work.
You ought to go to my house and see the
number of applications. that are made to
me daily. Why, people must think that
| own Central Park, and Prospect Park,
and the post office, and the custom house,
and the navy-yard. Laughter,] They
won't believe that I've no influence ut
Washington. [Laughter.] But 1 never
turn them away. [ sympathize with them
and assist them when / can. / never say,
Young man, go West Loud laughter.
l try to encourage them.
WORD TO THE RICH.
Mr.. Beecher next addressed himself to
the wealthy members of his congregation,
and said: Even if you are worth a mil
lion to-day your son may yet be forced to
beg his bread because he can't work.
Your daughters cannot be chambermaids,
or cooks, or washerwomen-what' to be-
come of them? Laughter In one
thing I would have you Judaized. There
is an old and true Jewish proverb which
says: HE who brings up his child with
out trade, brings him up to steal" The
papers tell us of people going to seek their
fortunes in America. 1t should be, work
for their fortunes. Tell your children to
work. They say it will kill them. Shall
| they live? No. Laughter Shall they
commit suicide? No. What then
| Simply this: Eat the bread you earn, or
| don't eat.
| Mr. Beecher closed with touching
| peroration, in which. speaking of the ris
ing generation, he said: LET them be
men who earn their living by the sweat of
their brow, and who can hold up their big,
hard hands and say they never took Il
penny they did not earn"

Where is my little one hiding from me?
Where is my darling oh ! where can he be
Under the sofa aad under the chair,
Still keep looking, but no one is there
Where is my little one2 where can he be ?
Hiding so much of his sunshine from me?
Oh how his musical prattle miss
Surely l was never so lonely as this.
No little arms to give mamma q squeeze:
No one to comfort me; no one to tease;
There, on the floor, is his beautiful toy;
But where in the world is my own little boy?
Coaxing won't bring him the rogue! then I'll
TRY
How he feels when he hears mamma cry
"Oh, my dear baby come back to me, do!
Mamma is lonely ~ "Ha, ha peek-a- booW
Peek-a-boo roses that bloom on his cheek;
Peek-a-boo! eyes that so lovingly speak;

The Hog Market.

The following from our latest mail ex-
changes will prove of interest. The st.
Louis Globe of the odd says:
The hog market was in that particular
state which is difficult to describe. At the
Pacific yards there was hardly any bottom
to the market, bacon hogs selling at So 40a
so, with few extra butchers at high
figures. The larger portion of the sales
given below were made Tuesday evening
late, those of yesterday being very light.
At the North Missouri and Broadway
yards, there was no change in prices and
sales were, in manner, nominal. The
pens are filling up, and in fact are now
nearly full, and still the stock continues to
arrive by train loads. Holders are evident
ly feeling very uneasy, as it can be but
question of a short time until the crash
comes. The hog crop runs into the
millions, and with cheap corn it is impos-
sible to obtain high prices for hogs, and
l5ave the packers masters of the situation.
If lower prices are inevitable, then the
longer the present nominal values are
maintained, the worse for the sellers in the
end.
The Chicago Inter ocean of the 21st
says:
There was decided improvement in the
hog market to-day. Packers finding out
that they could not bring sellers to terms,
bought freely, regardless of any combina-
ton, and as a result prices advanced 5al0c
per 100 lbs. 1t was rumored that this pro-
ceeding was only "blind" on the part of
packers to induce liberal receipts, and
then force down prices. Be this as it may,
country shippers must judge for them
selves and be governed accordingly. Ship
pers for Boston and Providence purchased
freely, but New York operators were hold
ing back, claiming that there is bat little
margin between the prices current here
and New York values. Sales ranged at
S4a4 05 for common to fair and S4 10a4 20
for good to choice. The market closed
steady at these prices.
