STRIKING BACK"

There il vnigar air about the de-
meanor of leading northern editors in
what they have to say in denunciation of
silver that would suggest that they are
carriage-drivers and foot men of the gold
worshippers. They are superserviceable
in their allegiance to those whose livery
they wear, and they put on great show
of disdain towards simple honesty when
it comes too near the shining retinue OF
the devout. Even the New York World
calls the silver bill "the great swindle,"
notwithstanding its Democratic author
ship and the extensive favor the bill re-
ceived from the Democratic party.
We connot account for the extreme
severity of the denunciation that is
heaped upon the proposition to remone-
tiza silver save upon the supposition
that it ia inspired by an impulse Of a
servile nature. Silver was legal tender
in the land for greater part Of our
national history. 1t is good and very
pure metal suitable for money, and once
remonetized, will be as little liable to
variation in value az gold itself. The
attempt to dsride this metal is futile; the
exertion to exclude it from the position
as part of the basis of the paper me-
dium of this country is adverse to the
national interest, and to the energy and
prosperity of the people. To employ
both silver and gold, would give the
country a greatly-increased power and
promote intellectually progress and devel'
opment.
The taun.s and vulgar disparagemeni
which are heaped upon silver-the peo'
pies money-are of vulgar type, and
are only worthy of "dunkies. u Rib.

recently been started in this city in the
line of cheap eating for the poor which
is even more extraordinary than Miss
Juliet Corson's famous 15.cent dinners.
Not long since woman who has resided
Tor many years in this city, and who is
we'll versed IN the preparing Of food, con-
ceived the idea of opening restaurant
where working-men, shop-girls, news
boys and other poor folk could have their
meals at almost nominal prices. A few
moments figuring convinced her that she
could carry her plan into effect; not only
paying expenses but making fair profit.
Accordingly about two weeks ago she
opened penny restaurant" at 4l3

bers of handbills setting forth that a
plate OF baked beans, bowl of soup,
plate of cabbage, boiled or in the form of
'cold slaw." slice of corned beef,
plate of bread and butter, q cup of coffee,
piece of homemade pie and various
other articles of food could be had at

ant proved god.send to newsboys and

opened about five hundred were in the
habit of feeding there daily, investing
from l to cents at time. The pro-
prietress said yesterday that she con-
sidered her plan success-so much 30
that she had fitted up another restaur-
ant in the immediate naighborhood of
the one in Grand street, for the exclu-
sive accommodation of boys, while the

Respecting the Empress Eugene,
curious anecdote is told by Belgian
gentleman. who had it from one of the
aides -de-camp Of the prince of Wales.
He told him that when Queen Victoria
accorded an interview to the Empress on
the arrival OF the latter after hor flight
from France, the kind-hearted prince
was so touched by the tears and despair
of the royal fugitive that he was obliged
to leave the apartment in which the
audience was held. The emotion of the
Empress on arst beholding the Queen
was wholly uncomfortable. Throwing
herself into the kind, maternal arms OF
her royal hostess, she cried. amid tears
and sobs. "Oh! it was all my fault
Louis did not want the war-but would
have it" A singular corroboration of the
words of leading Republican paper

CAGE AND CAR IMPROVEMENTS. "A new

CAGE AND CAR IMPROVEMENTS. A new
cage floor, composed OF iron bars quar-
ter of an inch thick, with about an inch
space between, is now used at the Con-
solldated Virginia. Through this space
the air in the shaft escapes to the sur
face, and its resistance as the cage goes
up or down is reduced to minimum.
To prevent the miners from slipping off
the cages false brace has been devised,
which is slid on the uprights Of the cage
whenever men are to be carried. This
brace consists of an iron bar half an inch
thick by one and half inches in width.
One is put on each side of the cage.
These braces have not been introduced
in the other mines, but they will soon be.
Another very useful device which is
just being brought into use is car truck.
the axle of which is hollow. The wheels
on one side are loose on the axle and re-
volve freely, while the axle remains sta
tionary, and on the other side the wheels
are tight on the axle, which revolves
with the wheel. The axle being hollow,
| it will hold about quart of oil, and
need not be oiled oftner than once a
week But the main advantage to be se-
cured by the use of the new truck will
be in making curves, the wheels on the
shorter side of the curve remaining sta
tionary, or rotating slowly, as needed,
while those on the longer side of tho
curve will revolve rapidly. And this is
the special object of the invention; it is
to enable carmen to make curves easily,
and thus effect quite saving in the wear
and tear of rails, trucks and so forth

His sire is the famous Winslow horse, other

Young Hambletonian. who was sold for Sl6.-
900, was sired by Rysdyke's Hambleionian,
the greatest trotting sire known; his dam a
thoroughbred mare by a son of Henry. Thus
it will be seen that PRINCE HAMBLETON
combines in a choice style the running with
tie trotting elements. He is a beautiful
brown, full l5.3 hands in height, weighs
HOO pounds, and for beauty, style, and 90
cility, is unsurpassed by any horse in the
country. Though never specially trained for
the track, yet he made, last fall, over New
Haven Course, a record of 25l.
The number of sires per horses trotting in

| duce the best dryers, but also to have
the best machinery in fitting the fruit
for the dryers. And now having read
what we have had to say about our
machines, read what other people have
to say about them:
Jones Brothers--Fruit Dryers.
Centennial Cor Boston Journal of Commerce.
Among the many things of great interest and
practical utility exhibited in Agricultural Hall,
there are few which more nearly concern the
entire country, and especially the fruit-growing
sections, than the fruit-dryers from the firm Of
Jones Brothers, Sturgis, Michigan. These
gentlemen have been at work for several years
with the determination to produce the best that
can be made, and their success has been very
great in fact, of the most hattering charac-
ter. The testimonials in their possession, from
parties now using their dryers for drying
fruits lumber tobacco, ETC., attest the fact that
first-class inventive and mechanical abilities,
properly directed, will eventually win against
all obstacles. The firm make small dryers for
farmers and fruit-growers, and large ones for
factory use, which last can be built of any re-
quired capacity, and capable of drying several
hundred bushels of apples per day, or their
equivalent in other things. Every one that is
at all acquainted with the immense fruit re-
sources Of this country, knows the great and
increasing importance of finding the most eco
nomical means of preserving The same. Their
method of drying by the process Of 'rapid hot
air evaporation" simply amounts to taking
the watery constituents out so quickly that the
solid portion is left in condition to keep for
any length of time, and there is no doubt that
eventually this process will supercede and do
away with a very large share Of the immense
canning business now carried on so largely in
our country.
The Journal of Commerce gave very favor
able notice Of this machine as it appeared at
the Cincinnati Exposition, two years ago, and
am glad TO know that the prediction of the
great merit Of the Jones Bros dryers has been
fully substaniiated by the test of time and that
the silver medal awarded them there has been
followed by the first premium wherever exbib-
ted and their successive triumphs have been
ftly crowned by the award Of the diploma of
highest merit at the great international Exhi-
bition Just closed. Not only did their inven-
lion meet with the highest approval from the
Jury Of award, but the commissioners from
Australia to the Exposition, having decided |
that the Jones Brothers dryer was superior to |
any ether, have purchased one to take to their |
own country, their example being followed by |
several other foreign commissioners also. And /
now having called attention to a very merito-
.ious invention, it remains for any Of our read
rs who may be interested and wish to know
urther about the matter to correspond with the
irm of Jones Brothers at their office in Sturgis,
Michigan.
