Over 80 years ago, q youth, working
ON . farm, asked his father to give
him money enough to buy q gun. The
old man could not spare it; but the
boy nothing daunted, found an old
piece of iron about the place, and in
course of time contrived to make q
gun barrel out of it, with the very
mesgre facilities afforded by q country
blacksmith's shop. He had not the
materials for lock and stock, so he
walked to town and traded for the
necessary attachments, and was encour-
aged by the smith for having made 80
good shooter this gave him the am
biti0n to make another; so he went to
cutting out grindstones from tho ma
tive rock to raise the money for gun
materials, and in short time there
was . considerable demand for guns
OF his make.
During the French war with Prus-
sia he was called upon to furnish guns
for the army and in less than 8 months
he made and delivered to the govern
ment Of France rifles of q particular
pattern, costing $5,0O0,O0O, which
amount was duly paid.
The same man furnishes rifles now
for the United States, South America,
Rome, Spain, Egypt and Japan.
This farmers boy who wanted q gun
is Eliphalet Remington, of Ilion, NY.
His mandatory covers four acres of
ground and he employs 1900 men.
Not Satisfied with this achievement
he has recently completed q sewing
machine, which 10 reported to repre-
sent the latest and most perfect ad-
vance in the improvements OF this i'm.
portant adjunct of domestic economy
This is the type of boy who, when
there is not way makes way him.

OF currency retired In that time. 1t
states that sixty.fivc new banks have

three-fourths of this has been called

The Inter- Ocean, a. one of its reasons
for this disposition to contract, says
that II is preparation for resumption,
provided for on January l, 1879. To
our mind, this preparation for resump.
ton effects the whole business of the
country in every quarter. The gov
eminent wishes to reduce its obliga-

backs. What 10 true of the govern
ment is true of the banks and individ.

dread people have of the real or fan

on charge of having spirited away
q witness in the whiskey frauds lin

Rendelman, formerly storckeeper in
Sheehan's brewery. Rendelman's wife
made affidavit that he had been spir-
tied away by Bittengcr as charged
above. JEFF. Chandler appeared as
Bittenger's attorney, and Bittenger
was discharged, upon the ground that
inasmuch as Rendelman had not been
subpenaed, he was not legally wit

this case is most outrageous perse-

the wheat crop of 1875 will be in the
aggregate, Go per cent, oats 70 per
cent, and corn II per cent of an aver

Northwest, where the storms have
done tho greatest amount of damage,

It,nsy be that our vision is indistinct,
or that we do not quite comprehend the
meaning OF words, or that those New York
journalists have little ways about them
that are ipcomprehensible but five would
understand ourselves, and our mother
tongue, as we think we do, the following
language in the New York Times is per-
sonal: mo man with proper sense Of
honor, or of decent regard for his character,
would submit to such an accusation as that
which we deliberately bring against White
law Reid, nominal editor Of the New York
Tribune. What we say Is, that he is
guilty Of the daily attempt to obtain money
under false pretcnses; that when be says his
PAPER circula,cs $4,000 day, be utters a
gross falsehood with the intention of de-
cciving the public. And to pretend to be
deaf to this charge, or to run like coward
from it, will not save him, for unless he
withdraws his untrue and malicious asscr.

him in all the chief newspapers of the
country as q liar and q cheat. And if he
likes to put up with that in silence, he il
welcome to do &C."
