OUR WORKSHOPS.
Eleventh Day Of the Exhibition.

The disagreeable weather Saturday had some
effect ON the attendance at the Industrial Ex-
hibition but in the evening the usual crowd
was present. To-day and tomorrow will un-
doubtedly witness full rooms. This morning
the Grammar school classes will visit the hall
and this afternoon the primary school classes.
This evening complimentary benefit will be
given to the workmen at the pottery, shoe
uphostering, brush and cigar stands. These
men are working by the piece, and of course
fail to make full wages, being frequently inter-
rupted by visitors We hope that all who have
been interested by their labors will show their
appreciation by giving them good house.
Messrs G. A. Whitney & Co, are to send their
workmen to the hall, headed by the Portland
band. t
PICKLES.
ED. Pettingill makes tempting display of
plain and mixed pickles. the appetizing chow
chow and other delcaces, arranged in taste
full manner This is the second year that Mr..
Pettingill has been in the business, and he
already turns out an enormous quantity of
pickles which find a ready market throughout
the state They have made themselves name,
and are largely sought for by all who have
once tasted them. Last year six hundred bar
rels were turned out, and this year the amount
will be greatly increased because of the large
demand Already the farmers in this vicinity
are raising a large quantity of the crude ma
terial for Mr. Pettngilps use. The tasty way
in which these pickles are put up adds much to
their desirablity. eL -r
BILL HOLDER.
Quincy & Palmer have on exhibition the ex-
pansion holder, the merits of which have re-
ceived such wide recognition among business
men. The advantages of this convenient arti-
Gle can be seen at a glance.
ROCK DRILL.
Among the Portland inventions, of which
SO good showing has been made, there is one OF
a hand rock.drill, contributed by Duncan
Morrison that has, as we learn, been purchased
by company of gentlemen who will soon in
troduce it to the public. 1t is a simple and
easily worked machine Operated by a crank
which one strong man can turn that promises
to do the work of from two to four men in
drilling upon ordinary ledge operations. The
drill is raised in the frame work by cam
moved by the crank, and is shot DOWNWARD
both BIZ it's own weight and by powerful splra
springs, striking many times as fast as nam
mer can be welded by hand, and losing no
force by the transmission of the hammer blow,
since the drill itself is the hammer, and there
can be no waste of power. By an ingenious
ratchet-wheel arrangement the turning and
''feed' of the drill are regulated to the require
ments of the different kinds of work, and it
can be operated at any angle If it does the
work claimed for it by the inventor and some
gentlemen who have examined it, the inven-
ton must be of great value in our granite
quarryng operations.
Mr.. Morrison also shows an ingenious coal
sitter that works in small compass and puts
the coal in one box and the ashes in another
in a way very wonderful to behold.

The District Debt.
The President sent the following message to
Congress this afternoon: I5l -
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
l respectfully invite the attention of Con gress
to one feature of bill entitled "An act for the
government of the District of Columbia and
tor other purposes" Provision is therein made
for the payment of the debts of the District in
bonds to be issued by the sinking fund Com
missioners, running fifty years and bearing in
terest at the rate of 8 65-100 per cent. per an
mum, with payment of principal and interest
guaranteed by the United States. The govern
meDt by which these debts were created is
abolished, and no other provision seems to be
made for their payment. judging from transact
tions in other bonds. There are good grounds
in my opinion, for apprehensions that bonds
bearing this rate of interest when issued will
be worth much less than their equivalent in
current money of the United States. x
This appears to mo to be unjust to those to
whom these Londs are to be paid. The extent
of difference between their face and real value
looks like repudiating the debts of the district
Ny opinion is that to require creditors of the
District of Columbia to receive these bonds at
par, when it is apparent that to be converted
into money they must be sold at . large dis
count which will not only prove greatly injur-
ious to the credit of the District, but will re-
fleet unfavorably upon the credit and good
faith of the United States. 1 would recon-
mend, therefore, that provision be made at
the present session of Congress to increase the
interest upon these bonds SO that when sold
they may bring an equivalent in money and
that the Secretary of the Treasury be author
lied to negotiate the sale of these bonds at not
less than par and pay the proceeds thereof to
those who may be ascertaned to have valid
claims against the District of Columbia. i

Digestion and ParadIse.

Ah, talk Of blessingsl What q bless
ing Ii digestion To digest Do you
know what It means2 II Is to have the
sun always shining, andthe shade always
ready for you. II is to be met with
smiles, and obe greeted with kisses.
It's TO hear sweet sounds; to sleep
with sweet dreams to be touched ever
with soft, warm hands. II is to be in
paradise. Adam and Eve were in par
adise. Why? Their digestion was
good. All then they. took liberties /;
ate bad fruit-things they could not
digest. They what We call ruined their
constitutions, destroyed their gastric
juices, and then they were expelled
from paradise by IN angel with the
flaming sword. The angel with the
flaming sword, which turned two ways,
was indigestion. There came q great
indigestion upon the earth because the
cooks were bad, and they called IL o

Fork Swallowing.

Every one, says Paris letter, will
recall the case Of the Italian, Cipriani,
who swallowed q fork, and who has been
going from faculty to faculty exhibiting
himself ever since, ard probably many
like himself are anxious to know the
end Of the adventure. The last we
heard Of Cipriani was, that he was dy-
ing slowly, and was now living Bkele-
ton. When this news arrived young
man, who is employed as q clerk In one
OF our largo commercial establish
rnents, expressed the opinion that Ci-
priani was nothing but a bungler. The
nsophagus was large enough, he said,
TO receive substances OF considerable
size, and the only thing needed was the
will TO control the muscles. A nervous
man had q sort Of spasmodic movement
which renders such experiments danger

the thing was uncommonly easy. {" For
example" !" he continued, sitting at a
table after dinner with some twenty
persons, "you see that I push this
fork down into my throat, beyond the
CONSTRUCTED point" He did SO, in fact,
but o spasmodic action Of the muscles
made him loose his hold upsn the tines,
and the fork disappeared. he was
taken to the hospital, and since that
time has had o score Of doctors about
him oil the time. Yet he was very gay,
and suffered no pain for some time after.
A little sickness Of the stomach was at.
.tributed TO the action Of metal poison
ing, the fork being, in composition,
lightly plated, and antidotes were ad-
ministered. Anumber Of attempts were
made to draw out the fork in the pres
ence Of the leading physcians Of Paris,
but all failed. The. patient begins 10
suffer, and the doctors say that he will
soon die unless the fork Is removed
AT the hour I write he is under the in
iuence Of chloroform, and his stomach
is being opened. Whether the young
man will survive the operation or not !

A PERSIAN STORY.
A Man Is BaStinadosd and then has his
Teeth Puiled Out In the Presence OF n

Mob.
A terrible story comes 10 us from
Persia. In one OF the districts labor
ing man had been sentenced TO be bas-
tinadoed for some offense, receiving
one hundred and fifty blows on the
soles Of his feet, AS he sank down on
his knees after the sentence had been
carried out, and II was believed that his
injuries were OF q serious character, he
called the Judge to his side, intimating
that he had Terrible secret to reveal.
As he could only speak in whisper,
the Judge placed his ear TO the lips OF
the fainting man, when the latter seized
it with his teeth and in his agony bit IL
completely of.
In Persia the loss OF m ear, no mat
ter under what circumstances, is con-
sidered q lasting disgrace, and the
judge so felt II. He at once gave orders
10 have the prisoner carefully cared for,
assuring the physicians that II they did
not save his life their own should pay
the penalty, and they succeeded. N
When the prisoner had fully recov.
cred he was sentenced TO have his teeth
pulled out one by one in presence Of
the mob, and this frightful sentence
was carried out, two days being ex-
hausted in the work. No pains were
taken with the horrible job, and the
jaws were broken and crushed until the
whole lower part Of the mans face was
q mangled mass, and his sufferings
were 50 great that many Of the men
tainted in witnessing the operation.
Two days after, the little life in the
man was beaten out Of the soles Of his
feet, and the Judge, having fully salts
fed his thirst for vengeance, committed
suicide. Such is the story told by q
correspondent, and youched for as true
