The Buckeye Challenges the World.
The improved Buckeye Table Rake
and Mower combined, exhibited at the
State Fair, as usual, took the First Pre-
MUM. The manufacturers of this cclc-
brated machine, c. Aultman & Co., not
satisfied with the high degree Of excel
lence they have already attained,
which, in every trial, has rendered them
victorious over all competitors-are
still striving to render the Buckeye as
perfect as possible. They are out with

to cut lodged and matted grass, and
gives them the utmost confidence in
the ability of these machines to cut any
grain or grass that grows. The second
improvement consists Of 1,.v frame,
Dery light and strong, all the boxes
being so covered and protected as to
exclude the grit and dirt. In all trials
on soft, rough grounds. in wet and
heavy grain, which will test the capa.
bilities of any machine, the Buckeye
comes out with fresh laurels as the
champion machine of the age-a n a.
chine without competitors. It is of
light draft, can be easily worked with
two horses, and need only be seen to be
appreciated.
Air. r. H. Jones of Minneapolis,
Agent for Minnesota, represented the
machine at the State Fair, and knowing
as lie does Of it's great merits, confident-
y recommends it as being the best ma.
chine in the world.

Terrible Calamity at Fall River,

Mass.
About o'clock on the morning of
Saturday, Sept. 10th. fire broke out
in the Granite Cotton Mills, Fall River.
five story building. The operators,
some seven hundred in number, had
just commenced their daily work. when
the flames burst forth and, spreading
with lightning rapidity, cut off some of
the avenues Of escape. Under these
appalling surroundings, large major
ity Of the operators became terror
stricken. and made feeble efforts to es-
cape, while still others, maddened by
the threatened danger, wildly
threw themselves from the
fourth and ffth story windows. The
firemcn were promptly on the spot,
and in something like an hours time,
had tho fire fully under control, but
not before there had been an appalling
loss of life and great destruction Of
property. The latest estimate of the
killed is forty, and twice that number
injured. Among these were several
firemen, who lost their lives in trying
to save others. The scene while the
fire was in progress, and after, among
the relatives Of the imprisoned victims
was truly heartrending, and not soon
to be forgotten by those who witnessed
it. The loss Of property is estimated
at $500,OO0, almost ifnot quite covered
by insurance in Eastern companies. A
coroncrs jury has been summoned to
thoroughly investigate the sa catas-
trophe.

truth. ff
As to first condoning his wife's fault
he says he forgave her because he loved
her; for her children's s sake; and be-

which condenes such faults in men but

COmetic Centers.

There is no doubt that all the fixed
stars are brilliant suns and the centers
of systems in every respect resembling
our solar system, and that comets are
revolving round and receding to i'm
mense distances from those centers, and
yet they do not Craze or even come near
to the boundaries of our solar system.
The distance of the nearest fixed star is
computed at Is, 91S, 900, 900, 00Oof miles.
Now, supposing that a comet whose
period of revolution is about 1000 years
(Which is about the period of our largest
comets) and travels at the rate OF mill
ion miles an hour in every part of its
orbit, which Is never the case, and in q
direction approaching our solar system,
il would recede from It's luminary to
the immense distance of nine billions OF
miles, and yet it would be at an equal
distance from the confines of our sys-
tenn. And as comet shines with bor-
rowed light, how family must it be illu-
minated at that distance and how vain
the attempt to catch glimpse Of it,
even with themost powerful telescope

Bound TO DO a Full DAYS Work.

Mr.. M, of Oxford, don't object to
having a hired man do full days
work at least so we should judge from
the following story
A short time ago, man went to his
place for work. Mr.. M-set him to
blowing around forty-acre field. After
he had plowed faithfully all day, until
the sun was about half an hour high,
he expressed his opinion that it was
about time to quit work.
"Oh, no." said Mr.. M, "you can
pillow around six or eight times more
just as we'll as not"
So the hired man plowed around six
or eight times, then went to the house,
took care of his team, MIXED nine
cows, ate his supper, and found ten
o'clock staring him in the face from the
old time piece.
Said the hired man to Mrs. M,
"Where IS Mr.. M"
The good woman answered, "He has
retired do you wish to see him ?"
He replied that he did. After being
conducted to the bedroom, he said,
"Mr. M, where is the ak %
Why" said Mr.. M, "what do
you want with the AK ?"
"Well," said the hired man, CT
thought you might like me to split wood
till breakfast is ready"

The french Military System.

France is putting herself in military
order after the Prussian model. The
catastrophe of 1870 was great edu-
Gator. There is q fine lad of II in my
"pension, who has been helping me
with my correspondence. He talks
English, and yesterday he said. CT
must now go to my Professor. Your
Professor, Armand how is that !"
" Why, You see, when am 10 1 go into
the French army, under the law passed
after the war, by which all of our young
men must serve five years, unless they
show themselves qualified in certain
branches of education, as history,
geography, arithmetic. If they are up
in these, they need only serve one year.
l have my teacher an hour every day,
and L feel sure of good number and an
early and honorable discharge for SUI
perority in geography, algebra, and the
natural sciencies. If prove proficient
in these branches, 1 serve only one
year so 1 am working to get the other
four years to myself" 1t is unneces-
sary to discuss the advantages OF such
q system in a military power. The
government secures good soldiers and
Intelligent citizens at the same time.-

EATING ULLETs.-According to an
account given by the Scotsman, a COW
belonging to a farmer at Balglass, near
Lennoxtown, was found dead on the
grazing ground few days ago. As it
had seemed previously in perfectly
healthy condition, its owner had it
opened, and the cause of its death, was
at once manifest. Inside the cows
stomach was ten pounds of lead all in
small pieces. 1t had been in the habit
of picking up on its grazing ground
portions of bullets shot against targets
by the Campsie volunteer companies,
who have their shooting range on the
field it lately occupied. The COW had
in fact thought that, the sword being
converted into the plowshare, bullets,
in like manner, were converted into
grass. and hence the fatal errors which
undermined its constitution and led to
IFS premature decease. Cows will do
we'll to remember that the time has not
vet come when bullets may be safely
taken as food.

Where the nest, deserted, clings,

Squirrels frisk and spring;
