CENTENNIAL TRIAL OF MOWERS.

It seems that. after all, there was q
great Centennial trial OF moving ma
chimes in connection with the Centennial
exhibition, at Philadelphia. We extract
from special dispatch from Philsdel-
phia to the Chicago Tribune. 1t will be
seen that the trial must have been one
OF unusual interest:
"The official trials of moving ma
chimes in connection with the Centen.
nial have been taking place at Eddlng-
ton, q station some 10 miles from here.
during the past two days. The tests
have been made under the control Of
the jury, of which Mr.. Coleman, the
British Commissioner, is the head. A
large number of the prominent moving
machines of American manufacture have
been allowed TO give practical exercise Of
their capacity and powers. The tests
proved quite severe in several respects.
The jury ordered heavy roller to be
drawn over the grass, and the owners OF
the various machines were invited, one
nj time, to follow the roller and show
tuerr ah ,ty h; cutting fattened gross.
To render :ur tests still more trying,
heavy rs,' -t,rmS have come up each day,

arly hard 10 cut, especially when rolled

trials have been witnessed by journalists,

standing men of many nstionalities."

EATON, OHIO THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1876

and throwing the bed-clothes off his tall,
lean, sinewy form, he half leaped from
the bed, and seizing the box of diamonds,
which he had throughout his illness
never allowed from beneath his pillow,
in one hand, he shrieked-
"Never, never! Will you allow me to
be poisoned like dog! Help! some of
you" The effort was too much, claspiDg
the box to his bosom he fell back on his
pillow-a convuisive shudder passed over
bis frame-he was dead.
l don't pretend to analyze my feelings
at that moment. My reason well-nigh
deserted me. did not stop to think of
the possible consequences. Snatching
the box from the relaxing grasp of the
corpse l rushed from the cabin and fell
over Pete, the negro, who was just out
side.
"See to the captain. He is Dead" and
l sped onward; but the powerful negro
had his hand upon my arm.
Massa Doctor not go so quick-Massa
Grierson dead, Cap'n die, too-Doctor
got his box of jewels. Give up dat box" !"
aud the negro seized me in his grasp and
struggled with me for the possession of
the box.
At that moment the strength of a
lion was in me; wrestled with my as
sailant, and, freeing myself from his
grasp, made for the companion stairs. /
had reached the deck, with what inten-
tion knew not, but Pete was again with
me, wrestling with the strength of de-
mon for the possession of the prize.
The ship was rolling heavily in adead
calm, and, as We fell together, we slid
across the deck toward the lee scuppers.
With superhuman effort I freed my
right arm, and, with all my force, threw
the box over the quarterback ratings.
1t flew open asst fell into the sea, and in
the moonlight the diamonds fell like
shower of falling stars in the black
water.
The negro, seeing my movement, left
his hold of me, and sprang forward to
catch the box as it fell. A heavy lurch,
and was alone on the deck.
The rapidity with which everything
had taken place seemed to have stunned
me, and deprived me of the power to ut
ter even one cry for help. When 1 re-
covered myself it was too late-Pete and
the diamonds were gone forever.
l looked aroind-the deck was de-
serted, save by the man at the wheel,
who, half hidden by the wheel-house, had
not seen the struggle.
Can l be blamed? / held my tongue.
The captain was buried at dawn, and the
chief officer took command of the ship.
1t was clear that Pete mtist have fallen
overheard, and no one suspected the
share l had had in the catastrophe. In
due time we arrived at Bristol, and for
my own satisfaction l instituted the
necessary inquiries as to the individuals
named by the man Grierson. The bank
had long since ceased to exist. / traced
some vague rumor of man having died
suddenly in stage-coaeh while passing
through an obscure village in Somerset
shire, but could never obtain any clue to
his representatives. 1t was, perhaps, as
well that l failed. am still poor man,
but would rather die so than accept
the possibility of becoming rich at the
terrible risk which attended the unlucky
bequest of the Box of Diamonds.

Australian Shell Jewelry.

A Sydney paper states that a great de-
mand has arisen for very pretty bivalve
shell, the Tligoniu costata, dredged up in
the harbor. Nearly every jewelers. shop
in Sydney contains specimens of these
beautiful shells, mounted as brooches or
earrings. Placed hinge to hinge, with
gold body between, they are made to give
a very fair representation of butterfly
with outstretched wings; and the shell
being lined with the most lustrous
iridescent pearl, the effect is very beauti-
full. There are several species of mollusca
obtained in the colonies, the largest and
most beautiful being procured from North
Tasmania. Some very beautiful speci-
mems of the shells referred to by our
Australian contemporary have been OBJ
tained from the Hebe Reef, at the en-
trance to Tamar Heads.

BrONn.SeUuard,

A young American under treatment
by DIR. Brown-Sequard, of Paris, writes
home an account of that physicians fa-
vorite method of treatment, by the burn
ing of the flesh over the spine, which is
interesting in itself, and also as tending
to correct or modify greatly the prevail
ent conception of extreme physical tor
ture as a necessity of the operation. In
the first week of his undergoing the
actual cautery, there were four applica.
tions, the first in seven places along the
back, the second and third on the head
and the back, the fourth on the head
only. In connection with this he took
(separately) iodide of potassium and
arsenic, and subcutaneous injections of
atrophine and morphine. The burning,
he proceeds to say, is not burning at all.
"The instrument is of platinum Il. e.,
as to the tip), and is heated to white
heat in coal fire; then it is applied two
or three times and Immediately put back
in the fire for the next application.
While red-hot iron or platinum would
make terrible burn, there is almost no
pain whatever when it isata white heat.
l can't say there is no pain, for at the
moment of application there is a sensa-
tion almost like that of burn but the
instant the instrument is removed the
feeling is gone, and there is no sensation
whatever afterward. There is, of course,
scar at each point, with dry scab,
which wears of, leaving the skin in its
original state. So that it is really only a
drying of the outer layer of the skin !;
there is no rawness of the flesh. One has
only to guard against the rubbing of the
collar on one of these spots; otherwise
there isn't the least inconvenience. The
skin of the head heals more quickly,
though it is rather more sensitive; and,
in fact, the sensitiveness increases some
what after the application, both on the
head and on the back. 1t is rather worse
than mosquito bite, to which Brown
Sequard compared it, but stood it with
out yelling or groaning, and even with
out clenching my hands. The severity
of the treatment has been very much eX-
aggerated in popular estimation, and the
above account is as near the truth as
words will allow"

Oilye.Trees,

The olive is largely cultivated in the
Balearic Islands of the Mediterranean.
The olea-tree, upon which the fruit is
grown, originally appears wild in the
mountain-land as shrub, producing
fruit which bears no oil. When brought
under cultivation, grating is practiced.
The ancient historians of Majorca recount
that in olden times the olive was un-
known to the Balearic Islands, and that
the art of grating was taught to the
islanders by the Carthaginians. By the
appearance, however, of some of the
enormous and ancient-looking olive-trees
to be seen now in Majorca, one would be
tempted to believe that their existence
dates as far back as the period to which
the historian refers. An intelligent
Majorcan farmer, being asked how old
he thought some of these trees were, re-
piled, 81 believe they may well date
from the time of the flood" 1t is a
remarkable feature in the growth OF
these magnificent trees that one seldom or
never sees two alike. Almost all, in the
course of time, assume most grotesque
forms; and upon old trees whose trunks
are rent open and torn into half dozen
shreds is often to be seen the finest crop
of fruit, while in Majorca they have in
some places attained proportions
akin to those Of the forest trees of the
tropics.

Girls and BOYS.

In mind as well as in body the girl
differs from the boy. His pastimes are
ephemeral; hers are prospective. The
boy, becoming man, will put away his
balls and marbles; but the girls chief
playthings, in new developments, will
always engage her heart. For what, in
fact, is her staple amusement but mater
nifty in prospect? Her housekeeping in
stinct demands and delights in her baby
house, and she will one day devote her
self to her real babies, as she now gives
her heart and hands to her dolls. Thus
early do the sexes assert themselves; (;
thus early do they show instinctively
and uncensciously that mans love is
of mans life, a thing apart; tits the
woman's whole existence" for the blind
intuition of the maternal tenderness,
stirred into action by imitatiyeness of
mamma herself, underlies the one pas.
time which is the serious pursuit of
every little girls life. Her other toys
and games are mere incidentals; her doll
is, as her child will be, at once her COM
fort and her care.

THE famous Obelish, or, as it is now
noLap of &c the svenite monOlith. "

THE famous Obelish, or, as it is now
spoken of, the syenite monolith,"
known as Cleopatra's Needle, is to be
transported to London by sea, by casing
in wood and rolling it overheard. To
make it float properly it is to be covered
with timbers and planks till the boxing
is large enough to float stone and all. To
compensate for its tapering form one end
is to be made larger than the other, and
when finished the timber dressing will
be something over twenty feet thick at
the larger end. The ends will be taper
ing, to assist the steamer in towing, and
even if the cigar-shaped mummy runs
aground, its casing will save it from
harm. The most riskful part of the
voyage will be the launching and the
l1lling ashore. In this connection it may
be noticed that cylindrical boilers are
transported through the canals in Hol.
land in somewhat the same way. The
fues are plugged up with wood, the
steam openings covered with air-tight
caps, and well painted with red lead
the boilers are rolled into the canals
and, in tow of steamboat, make theil
voy age in perfect safety.

How to Borrow Money.

Complaint is made by people who do
not understand how it is done, that al
though the papers report money easy
here, and rates at from say three to five
per cent. they cannot borrow money at
less than from twelve to twenty per cent.
They do not understand that it takes
money, or its equivalent, to get money,
and that the low rates spoken of in the
papers are for loans on convertible
collaterals, such as United States bonds,
and undoubted securities of other kinds
which can be converted at moments
notice into money, and that these loans
are on call, that is, subject to be called
in at a days notice, and that if the
money is not forthcoming these col
laterals are sold. You can't get into the
money market in Wall street unless you
have the "squibulum" 1t is quite diff
ferent here as elsewhere when you come
to borrow money on mortgage, or on other
species of property, and it is extremely
difficult to borrow at all ON property any
distance from this city. We recollect
friend once wrote to us to try to get him
fifteen thousand dollars secured by mort
gage on over hundred thousand dollars
worth of unincumbered real estate in a
distant State. We could find no one
willing to touch it at all. So that you
may safely put it down as a aswindle when
you see an advertisement offering to loan
money on distant securities. Somehow,
too, it turns out that really the most de-
serving of discounts, the depositors
themselves, get the least accommodation
from the banks. This is due to the fact
that some ofthe banks arethemselves loan
ing their money on call to spectators,
instead of affording proper accommo-
dation to the business community.
Money on call has ruled steady at from
4 to 5 per cent. Gold closes to-day at
la. Commercial paper sells freely for
first class names at from 8 to 8 per cent.

The citizens of Columbus held a meeting
the other night in favor of the location of a
United States mint in this locality. The
mint fever seems to be remarkably prevalent
in Western cities.
The retiring Governor Allen has made
himself personally popular, on account of
his genial manners among all grades and
classes and forms of society, political or
otherwise, during his administration at Co.
lumbus. He is regarded as the truly fine
old American gentleman" Persons of all
parties called upon him at his rooms at the
Neil House, previous to his departure for
"Fruit Hill" his fine homestead in Ross
county, and paid their respects. The rumor
that he intends to make the tour of the
South is untrue. He informed your cores
pondent that he has no call South, and pre-
fers to remain at home, beneath his own
vine and fg.tree.
In the House, the other afternoon, Bohl, of
Washington, offered the following resolu-
ton, with apreamble setting forth that our
free schools are the foundation of our free
institutions, etc:
Resolued, By the General Assembly of the State
Of Ohio that we the representatives of the people of
Ohio favor purely secular education at the expense
Of the Taxpayers without division of any portion
OF the school funds among any other sect or secs,
we further declare that we viii support and main
tain the admirable provision of our Slate Constitu-
tion on this subject.
Mr.. McLain moved to refer the resolution
to the Committee on Common Shoots. Dis
agreed to. Yeas thirty-three, nays sixty.
The resolution was adopted by a unanimous
vote. Yeas one hundred and four.
1t seems to us that sort of resolution,
passed with such undesirable unanimity,
might set vexed question at res!.
The debating qualities of the House were
tested the other day on the introduction Of
the Partial Appropriation Bill, which occu-
pied about the whole of one day. The de-
bate proved that Buckeye legislators have
pluck, stamina, intelligence, culture, and
the logical and oratorical faculty well de-
veloped. The bill passed by seventy-two to
thirty, and allows thirty-three thousand dol
lars for the use of the Centennial Commits
sioners.
The Directors of the Hooking Valley Rail-
road have declared semi-annual dividend
of four per cent. The gross earnings of the
road for the year were 100000. Over
S130,000 were expended the past year in re-
laying the track with steel rails, and the
work continues, with perhaps similar out
lay the coming year. Kenmore.

WHOLE NUMBER 455.

1t is believed that an investigation in the
interest of economy will discover that sew
eral Offices, somewhat expensive to the State,
may, without detriment to the public ser.
vice, be either abolished or SO consolidated
as to accomplish material saving to the
Treasury.
Agreeing generally with the sentiments
of Governor Aliens recent message, l de-
sire especially to concur in what is said on
the subject of the National Centennial Cele-
bration.
No community in the world has been per-
mitted by Providence to enjoy more largely
the blessings conferred on mankind by the
great event of 1776 than the people of Ohio.
Ohio and her interests had no existence
hundred years ago. They are the growth of
less than century. The people naturally
wish that their State, and her history, and
her advantages, should be widely known.
No other such opportunity for their exhibi-
tion will probably occur for several genera
tions.
Let your session be short; avoid all
schemes requiring excessive expenditure,
whether State or local, and your constitu-
ton required to secure to Ohio a fitting rep
resentation in the approaching celebration
of the nations birth.
Portage county, Ohio, has an agricultural
society which, strange to relate, has bought
its grounds, put up large buildings, has well
attended fairs, excludes all side shows, gam
bling, and horse races, and is not only out
of debt but making money. One great secret
of its success is its practice of bringing the
farmers together for frequent council over
agricultural interests.
During a drunken brawl at Kramer's sa-
loon, at Upper Ssndusky, J. Gotchell was

ness in a car on Cincinnati train attracted

c. A. Williamson, proprietor of the Gale
donia Stair Works, at Belmore, borrowed on
the 22d of December, 5000 cash, from the
Lima banks, and has gone to Canada. The
farmers of Belmore, to whom Williamson
was owing much money, made a raid on the
Stair Works, and a store in which William
son was partner, and dismantled both. Will
liamson's liabilities are put at s1OO, 900. The
Bank of Lima holds $4,000 of his paper,
and Menonville citizens $4,000. William
son has been hitherto considered, socially
as well as commercially, gilt-edged.
