l'osI Tor fences, gates or sheds, may be
made TO last Il great deal longer by cut
ting and thoroughly drying or seasoning
before planting them in the ground. As
the sap or moisture in the timber dries
out the wood shrinks and closes up the
pores, which prevents the absorption OF
water aiterward, and thus saves the post
from decay. 1t is said, and with consid,
cradle show OF reason, that a post set
with the top end in the ground will last
longer than if set in the usual way, with
the but end down. Here is the xplana
ton: The pores which run Iengthways
of the tree are like little valves, which
permit the flow OF moisture upward, but
never downward. Mulberry, cedar,
locust and post oak are good for posts,
and, II well seasoned before being set in
the ground, will last from ten to fifteen
years, and sometimes even twenty wears.
y is said that posts painted with a com
position OF boiled linsccd oil and finely
pulvcrizcd charcoal will last for an age,
and we do not doubt the preventative
qualities OF such II paint. Posts and
pianks. or rails, make Il neat, durable

other fences, and is probably cheaper in

EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTENNIAL,
A noticeable feature of The Clark Thread
Company has always been their thoughtful
and considerate attention to the welfare and
pleasure of their employees. The Centen.
NAL Exhibition afforded an opportunity for
its practical illustration which should moi
pass unnoticed in this article. Desiring TO
give all their operatives an opportunity to
witness the great Exhibition ut PHILADELPHIA
OF what the nation had accomplished during
the first hundred years Of its existence in in.
dustry and ant, the company planned and
carried to complete success a n monster excur.
sion to Philadelphia, which embraced their
fifteen hundred employees, with invited
guests, members OF the press, and the mayor
and Common Council of the City of Newark.
Some idea of its extent may be gained when
it is known that forty.five railroad coaches
were employed for their accommodation and
the cost for transportation, admission, enter.
tainment, etc, exceeded six thousand dol.
lars. But this large sum is smi II compared
with the unallOyed pleasure which was af.
forded the grand army of industrious people
who find employment at the Clark Thread
Company works in Newark. The Common
Council passed and caused to be beautifully
engrossed and presented to the Company, a
series of resolutions from which for lack of
space we copy only the following extract:

HOW CLARK'S go. N. T." SPOOL COTTON
ORIGINATED.
Until within a few years, the great difficult
ty to be overcome in the introduction of sew
ing machines, was the objection made bv
manufacturers and operators to the then pOp.
ular threads. These complaints were 20
loud and well founded that the sale of sew.
ing machines was greatly impeded on ac-
count of the impossibil.ty OF obtaining Il
thread adapted to their use. Mr.. George A.
Clark. approaching the difficulty introduced
into the American market the now famous
Clark's go. N. T." Spool Cotton, all numbers
being six cord, from s to 100, which met the
demand, did away with all complaints, and
long since established its reputation as the
best thread in use for sewing machines or
hand sewing. To Mr.. George A. Clark belongs
the credit of being the first to supply those
fine qualities of Six Cord Spool Cotton with
which his name is associated. The thread is
used and recommended by agents of the
Wheeler IL Wilson, Grover d Baker,
Domestic, Howe, Florence, Weed, Wilson,
Blees, Remington, Secor, Home, Lathr ~ and
other sewing machine companies. The SUI
periOr quality of Clark'S 90. N. T." Spool
soon procured for it an immense sale,
Dut with the great popularity Of the goods
also countcrfeits which made it neces.
'ary for the manuf icturers TO adopt a trade
mark for their own and the public's protcc.
ion, and now upon every genuine spool of
heir thread is the following

Gov. Hampton and Attorney General
Conner, of South Carolina, left New
York for Columbia last week, having
accomplished their mission and sue
ceeded in obtaining temporary loan
OF 100000 to defray the present ex-
penses Of the State government and a
few cases demanding immediate atten-
ton. The facts presented by them at
once convinced New York capitalists
that this South Carolina loan was
a good investment and the money
was all promised. Before leaving
New York, however, it was discov-
cred that there was no absolute need
for this loan, such an unexpected
amount having been paid in taxes to
moro than supply the wants of the
State government. IT the taxes be paid
as freely at the November levy no call
will be made for this loan.
