ORlGIN AND SECRECY OF INVENTIONS

| On''lN AND 0ECRECY OF INVENTIONS
century ago what a man discovered
III the arts he concealed. Workmen
were put upon oath never to reveal
the process nscd by their employers.
Doors were kept closed, visitors were
Vigorously excluded from admission.
and false operations blinded workmen
themselves. The mysteries of every
craft were hedgcd in by thick-sc,
fences OF cn'piracle prctentions and
judicial affirmation. The royal manu-
factories of porcelain, for example,
were carried on in Europe with spir-
It Of jealous cxclusivercss. His Mai
csty Of Saxony was especially ci:cum.

secresy imposed upon his people, he
would not abate his kinsly suspicion

neither the bribery Of princes, nor the
garrulity of the operatives never re-.
vcalcd it. Other discoveries have

cooling. In practice, however, the
process is one Of the most difficult in
the arts. 1t was discovered in Hol-
land and guarded from publicity with
the utmost vigilance for nearly half a
century England tried in vain to dis
cover the secret, until James Sherman,
a Cornish miner, crossed the channel,
insinuaicd himself master Of the secret
aud brought it home. The secret of
cast steel was also
obtained, and is now within
The reach of all artisans.

RECENTLY foreign embassy sought
the assistance Of the English police to
find young girl who had just become
the heiress of many millions. The In
structions were vague, and the task
was necessarily given to one of the
keenest detectives. At the end of six
weeks the detective reported at head
quarters and handed in his resignar
ton. "Well," said the chief, land
what about the young girl" Il found
her about a month ago in dress

ceived her six millions"

FRIDAY AFTERNOON,
Sept. Sd, '75.

OUR town was Just full of them-all last
ek-school-marms. We didn't care for
business, eating, drinking, lodging, health,
wealth, happiness, or playthings. They staid
with, and blessed us, one whole week. s. .
''Oh, l want to be a angel,
And with angel stand,
Or sit among the school-marms,
And hold EN- by the handI"
If we went to the post-offiee, they were
there. If we went to the jewelry store, they
were there. If we wandered forth for locals,
behold! they were there. Go where we would
they were always haunting us. They all look
like they would vote for Hayes. Things of
beauty are joys forever. We sigh for the
good old days when we used to stay after
school-because- e-handnt-our-ahem
Institutes Go it, boys! How many hearts
followed them home. Pillars of Smoke by
day, and waterfalls of fire by night Never
mind the "spanking machines never mind
anything. 'Hold your hush; what are you
bout ?" We again think of the past-of our
little boyish days-when we rested across the
knees of school-marm. It's tender subject.
We can't tell the particulars-hers was stern
duty. They are good thing, and we
can't have too much of them. We wish them
well-hope they had pleasant visit-had
glorious ride home-had lots of fun-selected
'Browney"-will be courted, kissed, caress-
ed-get married-go to house-keeping-and
always be happy.

PALNIER.-On June Is, 1876, at her home
in Bureau county, Illinois, Mrs Mary
Palmer, aged 63 years. She formerly re-
sided near Loydsqille, this county, and with
her husband and family left their many
friends and relatives for the west in 1868.
OBITUARY. ..s
She is gone; an aged mother, devoted hus-
band and dutiful children with brothers, and
numerous other relatives and friends, weep
over her grave. But with the consolation that
she has gone to rest in peace. Few have lived
the life that she has lived; at home, as wife,
she was ever dutiful and affectionate; with
her children, kind, ever ready to advise and
instruct them and administer to their wants.
In the church-Society of Friends, of which
she was member-she was leading spirit
and constant christian, as her whole life in.
dictated. Her body rests in LaMoille GENE.

it, and basks in the sunshine of immortal ex
istance. 80

The Central Ohio Railroad transported to
Burr's Mills Camp p-meeting, on Sunday, about
40 car loads of passengers, or about 5000 peo-
pie. Although there were nearly twice the
number of passengers to transport from Bel
laire and Wheeling, expected by the company,
yet through the prompt action of Capt. De
vries at Bellaire, cars were provided for the
accommodation of all from those points. VIM.
Franklin, the efficient Master of Transporta-
tion of the road, had an office at Burr's Mills
and directed the movement of trains from all
directions Conductors Lane, Church, Peck
and McCune, were in charge of the excursion
trains and performed their onerous duties in a
highly satisfactory manner to the public II
is source of congratulation, no doubt, to the
company that such surging mass of humani
ty as that which attended Burr's on Sunday
was transported without serious accident.

The Teachers Institute which was in ses-
sion, last week, in this place, was the best and
most successful gathering of teachers in the
county for many years. The members and
officers of the Institute by their punctuality
in attendance and close attention to all of the
exercises evinced a desire to excel in their vo-
cation. The citizens of St. Clairsville and vi
cinity were not slow to show their interest in
the cause of education by a large attendance
on the sessions of the Institute, and by tangi-
bic evidence in the shape of hospitality ex-
tended to the teachers. That we may not de-
tract from the credit due to any who worked
earnestly for its success, we simply state that
the entiIe corps of Instructors were untiring
in their efforts to entertain and instruct.

Mr.. Cady is not the strongest candidate by

With the knowledge the people of Harrison
