INVISIBLE INK.-If We write with Q very
dilute solution Of chloride Of copper, which
has scarcely more color than pure water, the
characters are invisible but if gently heated,
they become distinctly yellow, aud are easily
read. Let the paper cool, and they vanish
and they may be made to appear and diSGp-
pear an indefinite number Of times. heated
too strongly, the compound is dseomPosed
and the writing becomes permanently brown
from the deposition Of the copper. The
chloride Of copper may be conveniently made
by mixing solutions Of ammonia ohlsride (BAl
lmmonisC) and OF cupric SulpsAtS (bluo
vitriol.)
The change of color IN this and kindred
cases is due TO the removal OF the WItST of
crystAlization by the heat. In chemical eSn-
binttion with the water, tho salt Is trans
parent; without the water, il is opGquS.-
The salt, being very deIiquescent, rapidly
abIorbs moisture from the air when cool.

We are pleased to learn that Arnold &
Co. have taken the contract TO manufac-
ture The Hamilton hand corn shelter for
this State. We spoke OF this shelter on
the 10th, as very simple and effective
machine. We have been told since, by
EIwOod Chapman, ana others who have
been using it, that 1t Is, in their opinion,
just the machine for farmers TO use, and
that 1t Will become very popular WHEREBY
er introduced, and sell largely. Mr..
Hamilton has, by This contract with Ar
mold & Co., done good thing for Em-
poria manufacturers. The foundry here
We hope, the Hamilton shelter Will be
known and sold largely all ever the State,
and Its manufacture will keep 3 number
OF hands here actively employed. and
bring money into our city. The policy of
getting the manufacture OF standard ma
chimes located here is a good one, and no
surer way Of building up our manufac-
turing industries can be devised. We adj
wise dealers in agricultural implements,
or people who want the agency Of good
and saleable machine, to confer with Mr.
Hamilton in regard to selling this corn
shelter.
Now If Arnold & Co. will engage also in
the manufacture Of some simple, cheap
and effective machine for grinding corn
into meal to feed to stock, they will find
that it will be called for largely, and If
no one has invented such 9 machine, it
ought to be gotten up in q few days by
and body who gives his mind to it.
Farmers are invited to examine the
Hamilton Star corn shelter.

The ElecsOraIvo,e

Senator Morton, who has studied
the subject for years, and attempted
to reform the evils of the electoral sys-
tenn, made the following important
statement recently 10 San Francisco
interviewer:
Can you tell me how the question
of q disputed electoral vote can be set
tied ?"
1.-THE old politicians eye CLEANED,
aud his tone became excited as he
said: In 1855 the twenty-second'
joint rule was adopted. IL worked as
follows: When the senate and House
assembled in joint meeting 10 cognt
the electoral vote, ii any objection, no
matter how trivial, was made " it'll re-
gard to the vote in any State, the two
bodies separated and = vote without
debate was taken. If either of them
support the objection, the vote of that
State was cast out. Recognizing the
suicidal policy OF this rule, l battled
against It until It was finally repealed.
[ then introduced bill providing that,
Ia the event of an objection being
raised to the vote of any State, that
objection could be sustained by a con-
firmatory vote from both Houses. For
three years 1 struggled to get the bill
through, and it did pass the Senate
twice. On the first occasion IL was
quashed by Democrats in the House,
but on the second, last winter, Senator
Thurman, who had been its strongest
advocate, from over caution moved
that the vote be reconsidered, and the
bill went to the wall. I was wearied
with striving, and said, Do as you
will. just before the close of the
session the Democrats became alarmed
at the situation, and were anxious TO
have prompt action In the matter, for
they fonnd cut ktheir mistake; but it
was too late. And now we. are thrown
back upon the rHle or misrule, which
prevailed prior to the twenty-second
joint rule, thus leaving the power en-
Cirely in the hands of the Vice Presi-
dent. The present Vice President is
not Democrat, and the party fears
the sting of its own action. This
custom of leaving the decision to the
Vice President arises from 3 caucus
omission in the constitution, and the
fact was made evident by the case OF
Wisconsin In 1867. Before your time,
Ell! Well, the matter stood thus:
Owing to q severe sRow-storm, the
Presidential Electors In Wisconsin
tailed to meet on the appointed day,
but cast their vote at q later date.
When the Electoral vote was being
counted by Congress, an objection was
raised concerning Wisconsin, on the
ground of non-conformance with the
law. Vice President Mason, of Virgin
ia, refused to entertain the objection,
and the vote of Wisconsin was count
ed, as he alone had right to throw it
out. So you see we are in precisely
the same position to-day, and must
depend upon the judgment and Impair
to remedy it,

The result OF the election in this county
agreeably surprised even the RepubIi-
cans. No one anticipated 3 Republican
majority Of over 800. Hayes received
l,140 majority which IL less than 100 short
OF Grants majority In 1872. It WAs De-
lieVed that Hayes would run very cOnsid-
erably ahead OF his ticket, because OF his
popularity with the masses, and because
or the theory which has gained come
strength and Il plausible, that IL don't
make so much difference about local Of
ices. The result IL most gratifying to
the Republicans Of Lyon County. The

are triumph to brag on. The result
shows that Republicanism Is q deep-seat-
ed principle with our people, and cannot
be seriously effected by the fustiau Of
false issues, or the degeneracy and doub-
le-deAllng OF . few pretended leaders,
even though they have been honored
heretofore by these same voters. To the

ReoI Gambling.

A correspondent writing from New
York says, 81 apprehend that in the
future there will have TO be the same
repressive legislation brought to bear
upon the species of gambling known
as pool selling as there has been to de-
strey lotteries and gift enterprises.
Pool selling has already reached a
great development. Pools are s0ld ev-
eryWhere. and on every possible occur
renee. At first confined TO horse rae
ing, it extended to boating, base ball
and now to elections and to war pros
poets in Europe. In extent 1t is siR-
ply immense. During the recent races
at Jerome Park the daily amount OF
pools sold in three rooms alone averag-
ed over $3.50 900, making from 81 600,
600, to 81 500 900, hazarded during the
whole races in these rooms alone. II
70 this is added the pools sold at dozens
of different places the amount rises to
many millions. Ii is now q pernicioua
vice and bids fair TO do vast harm, un-
less it is dealt with speedily and ener-
getically by law"

DR.. Gentry,s Electro vapor Bath

DE-. Gentry's Electro VepOr Bath.
We are pleased to state that DR.. Gentry
has introduced into his medical practice
one Of those approved healing inventions
Of. this age, an electro vapor bath. OF the
merits OF this bath we have often heard,
and they are explained at some length in
the advertisement relative to the matter
on our second page to-day. We know
that DIR. Gentry has much practical
knowledge OF electric apparatus gener-
ally, and is well qualified to judge of the
manner and extent to which the wonder
full powers OF electricity and galvanism
can be applied with beneficial results to
the human system. The management: of
an electro vapOr bath Is no novelty to
him, as he used one for many years in
Memphis, and has an abundance Of testi-
mony in regard to the benefits that pa
tients there experienced from it. One OF
its properties Is to cause 'sweat'' to any
desired extent. In very few minutes,
without fail in any case. It is q very sim
pie apparatus, taking up very little room
and Its use is attended with but slight
trouble or exertion on the part of the pa
tient. Ladies' will have female attend
ance. DR.. Gentry has had this bath in
operation here but two weeks, and IN that
time has had q number Of calls for its use,
and IL every instance with decidedly good
effect. He requests examination Of the
bath, and will be pleased to explain the
method Of its operation to all callers.
In the way Of magnetism, DIR. Gentry
has magnetic belts which have effected
some remarkable cures. He procured
them in London, England, aud they re-
tain their curative properties to q re-
msrkable degree.I
We call the attention OF our readers t.
DIR. Gentry's advertisement to-day, and
advise All to give 1t q csrrfuf perusal.
