PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS,
Which may be done with one-f0urth the
usual expense, by using our
PATENT SLATE PAINT,
Fifteen Years Established.
MIXED READY FOR USE.
Fire.proof, Waterproof, Durable, Eco.
nOmical and Ornamental.
A roof may be covered with very cheap
single, and by application Of this slate be
mace to last from 20 to IS years. Old roofs
can be patched and coated, looking much
better and lasting longer than new shin
sizes without the slate, for
One.third the Cost of Re.shingling.
The expense of stating new shingles is
only about the cost of simply laying them.
The paint is Fire-proof against sparks or
flying embers, as may be easily tested by
any one.
1T STOPS EVERY LEAK,
and for tin or iron has no equal, as it ex-
pands by heat, contracts by cold, never
cracks nor scales. Roofs covered with Tar
Sheatng Felt can be made watcr-tight at q
small expense, and preserved for many
years.
This Slate Paint is
EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover hundred square
feet of single roof, while on tin, iron, felt,
matched boards, or any smooth surface,
from two quarts to one gallon are required
to 1U0 square feet of surface, and although
the paint has heavy body it is easily ap-
piled with a brush.
NO TAR Is USED IN THIS COMPOST
TON,
therefore, it never cracks in winter, nor
runs in summer.
On decaved shingles, it fills up the holes
and pores, and gives new substantial roof
that will last for years Curled or warped
shingles it brings to their places,and keeps
them there, 1t til's up all holes in felt
roofs, stops the lcaks-and although slow
dryer, rain does not affect it a few hours
after applying. As nearly all paints that
are black contain Tar, be sure you obtain
our genuine article, which Qor single
roofs is
CHOCOLATE COLOR,
when first applied, changing in about q
month to a uniform slate color, and is, to
all iutcnts and purposes slate. On
TIN ROOFS
our red color is usually preferred as one
coat is equal to five of any ordinary paint
For
BRICK BALLS
Our bright red is the only reliable Slate
Paint ever introduced that will ctirc,ually
prevent dampHcss from penetrating and
discoloring the plaster.
These paints arc also largely used on
houses and fences, or Us !. printing coat
on fine buildings.
Our only col"rs are Chocolate, Red,
Bright Red, and Orange.

Colorado wonder

The Mountaineer relates the following:
We have Just received call from Mr.. l.. Al
len, an elderly gentleman from Rochester,
n. Y, who came to Colorado about a year
ago. BY the advice of physicians Mr.. Allen
was instructed to keep in the open air as
much as possible, and so has travelled extern
sively through southern Colorado, prospect
ing and viewing the country. He gave us
the particulars of a strange discovery he
made on one of his tramps, but de-
clined at present to state the exact
locality; mentioning only that it was some
distance south from Pueblo. At the place
mentioned several large mounds or foot hills
appear rising from the plains, and situated
some distance from the mountains. Mr..
Allen visited these, and the first thing pecu-
liar he noticed was what appeared to be a
petrified cocoanut. 1t was much larger than
the ordinary fruit of this kind, but almost
perfect in formation. The three eyes of a
breaking open the strange stone or
petrifaction the shell appeared per-
feet being some half inch in
thickness and the inside was composed
of white crystal quartz. Mr.. Allen contin-
ued his investigations and discovered num-
Der of other specimens similar to the first;
also others resembling other kinds of fruits.
Some of these contained what appeared to
be seeds embedded in quartz Specimens of
petrified wood in large quantities were also
found. The mounds or hills appeared to be
made up of loose, sandy soil, and shells were
found of great variety and quantity. The
strangest part of the discovery, however, was
yet to come. In digging into the side of the
hill Mr. Allen unearthed what seemed to
be a perfectly petrifed sea turtle,
and before closing his investigations about
dozen of these were discovered, almost per-
feet, and no doubt they are genuine petrifac-
lions of sea turtles such as are found in the
Pacific From the numerous specimens of
shells that are found at various places on the
plains, and numbers of which can be found
and are found in this vicinity, many persons
are led to believe that the great plains on
which we live were at one time the bed of
an immense ocean, and this discovery would
tend to confirm that theory.

The Way vengeance is Pursuing John
A. Child.
Madison Evening STAR

Two rather important letters have been
received in the city this week, from Port
land, Oregon, throwing some light upon the
transactions of the Maynard Child. One of
these was from Herman w. Davis brother
in.law of Mr.. w. f. McLeland,
who went to Portland about 20
years ago, and is there located at present.
This gentleman says that John Child is car
rying on the drug business in small store,
starting rather obscurely, but now advertis-
ing largely in the local papers over his full
name. He has made loud professions among
the Methodists, and appears in the character
of jealous worker. Mr.. DAVIS asks for adj
ditional information in regard to Child, that
he may be enabledto expose his crimes.
The other letter came in yesterdays mail,
addressed to the Pastor of the Methodist
Church." which fell to the lot of Rev. G.
Tinsley to answer. 1t was from the hands of
Rev. j. H. Acton, editor of the Pacific Chris
tan Advocate, the official organ OF western
Methodism. Mr.. Acton stated that he had
seen letters from this part of the country
which placed Child in an extremely unfayor-
able light. Child, he said, was pretending
to be Christian, and taking an active part
in affairs. He inquired into the stand
ing of the writer's OF the letters he
had seen, and asked the proof of their repre-
sensations be forwarded, saying that upon
their receipt as evidence to back him he
would open the batteries of the Advocate
upon Child and show him up. Mr.. Tinsley
replied to this letter at once, giving an ac-
count of Child's residence here and at
indianapolis, and his subsequent actions.
Affidavits are also in process Of forwarding.

mans; and as to the Mussulman multitude
which is TO flock here, no one can say by
what route, from British India, it is some
thing positively battling calculation. Many
days will not pass before these suspicious
dreams fade into thin air. and the
Turks see themselves confronted by
sober and stern reality. for, indie
pendently of the madness of rely
ing on the aid of the wild warriors of the
desert, or on that of. ambitious and disaf-
fected dependents, were even all Asia and
Africa to supply the men, one does not see
whence the porte could draw the means to
support such vast hordes. No doubt her
own soldiers will fight well, and her fort
resses will hold out with great firmness; but
the want of organization and good leadership
and the exhaustion of her means will soon
tell against the Ottoman armies in the open
field, and, upon any serious reverse overtak-
ing them, the encouragement which has al
ready seized the government will soon ex-
tend to the long-enduring countries

NO ENMITY BETWEEN THEM.
How Mr. TiIden and Mr.. Cooper shook
Hands Heartily Together.


Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden sat in a box at
Booths theater Friday night, giving close
attention and cordial applause to Ole Bulls
familiar triumphs and tricks on the violin,
which was the principal object of interest to
the 5000 people who were participating in
the Norwegian's most recent farewell to
America. AT the close of the first
part, when Ole had responded to
his pristine encore Mr. Tilden
stepped to the front of the box, and handed
the white-haired Paganini laurel wreath,
which proceeding gave great pleasure to Mr.
Bull Mr.. Tilden and the audience. During
the intermission the venerable Peter Cooper
stepped from the stage to the box where his
rival sat, and the audience was treated to
the unwonted and agreeable spectacle of two
presidential candidates shaking hands. as
cordially as though one had not rigntfully
received 1876 electoral votes and the
other none at all. Then Ole Bull Joined
the merry group, and, lavishing his
ostentatious greetings upon the philan-
thropist, who sat in the front of the box, re-
tired to back seat for less conspicuous but
more mysterious converse with the states
man. At last Cyrus w. Field entered the
charmed circle, and watched Ole Bull, who
was back on the stage, with an intentness
that showed he was thinking of the fact that
he only lacked one of having as many
strings across the Atlantic as spanned the
bridge of the violinist's Cremona.
