A New Ginning Machine.

The new carlton, as described in the
English scientific journals, appears to
be quite an improvement on the ordi~
nary Ginning machines. It is fixed in
the same chamber as the clock, to
which it is fastened by means of
lever. On being slightly pulled the
lever dislodges a pin, the machine is
set in motion, and the tune begins at
once to play. Fourteen tunes are play
ed on eight bells, the tenor weighing
one ton, and the whole peal about
four and one half tons. The motive
power is obtained by weights of about
half ton each, which are suspended
from an iron barrel by steel line. At
one end of this barrel is wheel run
ming In gear with a pinion, driving a
spindle, upon which are fixed twenty
cam wheels, kept constantly revolving,
ready to do the heavy work of lifting.
the hammersthe instant they arereleased
by the musical barrel, which is also
kept revolving by series of wheels
similar to the musical box The levers
arranged at the top of the machine are
at the musical barrel eId, connected
with the hammers above by means of
wire lines and cranks and the key frame
In front of the barrel; and as soon as
the ends of the lever are released by
the small brass pins pricked upon the
musical board, the other ends of the
levers, with the point of the arms at
tached to them, fall upon The revolving
lifting cams, and are instantly raised
into the striking position and locked
by the key-franle at the other end; SO
that the two actions of releasing the
hammers by the musical barrel and
again lifting by the cams are perfectly
simultaneous, and very rapid passages
in the music can be played.

Jacob Rnbino's Efforts to Bull Gold-He
Secures Several Millions, but Decline

His Career as a SpeculatGr.
From the N. Y. Tribune of Friday.
The midsummer dullness which APP
peared to be on the point of settling
down on Wall street, was dispelled yes.
terday by break in the gold market,
the failure of the principal bull operator
in gold, and an alleged defalcation of a
large amount. Then followed series
of reports affecting the solvency of a
bank and of number of brokers. The
facts in regard to the failure of the bull
operator are as follows
Jacob Rubino, a we'll known broker
and Spectator in Wall street, for some
time past has been engaged in bulling
the price of gold. Having secured an
amount variously estimated at from
S., 600, 900 to $5,OOO,O0O, he manipu-
lated the market and succeeded In fore
ing the price slightly upward. Yester-
day morning, however, the price rapid
ly declined from $1.161 to $1.15s, and
it soon became known that Rubino had
undertaken a task which was far greater
than his means. At one o'clock, the
time at which his statement should have
been in the Gold Exchange Bank (the
Clearing House of the Gold Exchange
it was discovered that he had not
reported, and consequently the clear
ances were delayed until some settle
ment could be effected. Rubino had
had large transactions with nearly all
active dealers in the Exchange, and
when it was discovered that he had not
met his contracts there was considera-
BILE excitement. r. l.. Edwards, the
President of the Gold Exchange Bank,
however, consulted with dealers who
had contracts for the delivery of gold
Rubino, and induced them to hold
them until to-day, when they could
deliver the gold to the persons to whom
it had been sold, for Rubino's account,
at the reduced rates This arrange
ment placed the Clearing house in a
position to resume business, and the
rest OF the clearances were soon effect
ed.
Rubino's gold, however, was all
closed out for his account, some of it
privately and large portion publicly
under the rule of the Exchange. It
was estimated that between 100000
and SO, 500, 900 was disposed of i'll this
way. On the Stock Exchange Rubino
was largely interested, having been
strong bull in Lake Shore and Western
Union. A large lot of these stocks
was also closed out for his account by
those who were acting for him.
Rubinos career on Wall street has
been full of vicissitudes. At one time
he was the principal broker for Daniel
Drew. Later he operated largely for
Jay Gould, and when Bischoffsheim
Goldschmidt became SO conspicuous in
this country from their relations to
Erie, Rubino was of the firm of E. 81.
Biederman & Co., who represented the
Erie bankers in New York. They did
an immense business. but speculation in
Canton, Wabash, Quieksilver, and other
fancies in which Drew was interested,
proved too much for the firm, and the
result was that they retired from bust
ness.

Lambs Eating Cherries from a Tree.

AdHIUo I1duuS CHeTrlcS from Tree.
The West Chester (Pa. Record tells
the following tough story: Ellis Wood,
West Bradfofd, has lot of young
lambs that appear to be particularly
fond OF cherries. A very choice tree
has had all the cherries stripped from
it's lower limbs, and the tender shoots
nipped from the tree also, by these little
innocents. The lambs climb upon the
roof of small building, ard from that
to the top Of the wagon house, which
gives them g better chance at the
cherries than if they climbed the trees,
and they pick away like good fellows,
not even stopping to spit out the stones.
THROUGH all the ages of study and
investigation which have marked the
path Of scientific discovt ry. one espec-
tally alluring object has tempted the
inquiries and speculmtions of philoso-
piers. 1t is what the wizards and
witches OF olden time, the jugglers Of
India, the soothsayers of Arabia, Magi of
Egypt, necromancers of Turkey and the
Orient, and alchemists of civilized Eu-
rope have sought, but soughtin vain--0
vegetable non poisonous E'IiTar, which,
by cleansing the blood, removing from
the system all impurities, Strengthening
the nerves, the muscles, and the brain,
and vitalizing every fibre Of the system,
should bid defiance to The corroding
hand of disease.

Preserving Manure.


The Boston Journal Of Chemistry states
that the sources of loss in the storage are
two: first, the escape of volatile ammo
MIA and other gases; and secondly, the
loss of vafuable salts by teaching. The
first difficulty may be obviated by cover
ing the excrement with eight or ten
inches of good soil or loan, which will
absorb all escaping gases. A bushel OF
SO of plaster may be advantageously
scattered over the heap before the soil is
thrown on. The whole mass should be
perfectly covered, leaving no +" chimney
for gaseous emulation. The danger OF
teaching may be avoided by GOVERNS
the heap with hay or straw sufficiently
thick to shed most of the rain. If kept
in this way a sufficient time the manure
will undergo spontaneous decomposition
the products of which will be ready for
immediate assimilation by plants. The
usual process is caring manure to the
fields in the autumn to waste, by both
the above processes, some of their most
valuable constituents.
