The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1877-11-08

We have upon our table handsomely-b
book of 600 pages, designed expressly for the
convenience Of the retail hardware trade of the
Northwest. 1t contains 2, 600 engravings of all
the leading standard brands of shelf and other
lines of hardware manufactured in our own
country and in Europe. The engravings are
made from photographs of the stock to be
seen in the large sample-rOOms of Messrs
hardware, Lake street, Chicago. The engrav-
ings are fac-simile Of all the best brands of
hardware known to the markets of the world,
thus, for all practical purposes, placing in the
hands of the retail hardware trade a full and
complete sample-room, from which they are en-
at home, to better advantage and more salts
factOrily than they could were they to visit Chi
cagO and spend several days in the sample
rooms of this enterprising firm.
The work before US embraces a greater variety
ofgoods, than any similar book ever published
in this country, and is better adapted for the use
of the trade for whose benefit 1t is intended.
Nearly all illustrated works of this character
have been published by manufacturers who con-
fine the illustrations mainly to the special lines
of goods they make, and are designed more es-
pecially for the jobbing trade, while the book be-
fore us groups together the products of all the
leading manufacturers. It is eminently an en-
cyclopedia of the hardware trade of the country,
and will be appreciated as most valuable book
yevery retail dealer who may be SO fortunate
astO secure copy. This volume has been
recently published by the above firm, for the
convenience of their old customers, to whom
and to others who may favor them with ar Or
der forg goods, they furnish acopy free of charge.
It has been prepared and published at a large
expenditure of time and money; and in order
that the trade generally may have an opportu-
nifty of availing themselves Of the book a large
edition has been published. The actual cost is

may want it and not wish to send them an Or

Cabinet or Parlor Orxan..

Among Cabinet or Parlor Organs, those made
by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. stand indis-
putably highest, having most remarkable
record. In its present form, this instrument
was introduced by these makers, seventeen
years since, and the almost universal result of
comparisons at competitive exhibitions, and
testimony Of musicians, is that the organs of
their make are unequaled by any others. Such
reputation have they obtained in foreign coun-
tries that London alone has purchased more
than one thousand of them in a single year.
At all the great Worlds Exhibitions for ten
years, at Paris, Vienna, Santiago and Phila-
ielphia, they have carried off highest hOnOrs.
In the whole range of almost innumerable ar
ticles placed in competition in our great Gen.
tennial Exhibition, last year, there Is scarcely
one respecting which the report of the Jury is
so emphatic in recognizing its superiority to all
competing articles. They unanimously assign
to these organs "the first rank in the several
requisites Of the class, !" which is equivalent to
saying that they excel in all important quail
ties. Mr.. George F. Bristow, the distinguished
composer, of New York, who was one of the
examining jurors, writes that the Jury had no
difficulty in deciding which reed organs were
entitled to highest Commentator; adding, ~
believe that every member of the Jury heartily
concurred in assigning to those of your make,
and yours only, the first rank in all important
qualities of such instruments"
The Mason & Hamlin Go. are Offering, this
season, new and more attractive Organs than
ever before, and at lower prices. See their ad-
vertisement in another column.

One day a friend came. "My DEAR
she said, "what is to become of these
little things when you can no longer
shed tears over themp Are they to be
buried, as sweet Lily's body was when
her soul went up to God?''
"Buried?'' said the mother. 81 do
not know; / suppose not.''
"Would you not rather give them
away YOURSELF said her friend, ethan
have less loving hands than yours do
sop
"Oh, 1 could not give away my dar-
ling's clothes. No other child must wear
Them"
"Herc are great many garments"
continued her friend: "and think how
many little children are in need. l re-
member Lily always wanted to give to
the poor"
YES unused the mother.
The friend said no more, but her
words sank deep into the stricken heart.
Before her great sorrow she had been
generous to the needy. Now she re-
membered with sharp pain that she had
forgotten all those who once depended
largely on her bounty. One thought
suggested another, and soon she saw
her future path shining in clear light
the light of love.
With tender memories, but with a
strong resolve, the boarded treasures
were brought forth. Little children
were made glad, and mothers hearts
comforted. And did the angel Lily
seem farther away for this sacrifice?
Oh, no! When the material bond was
broken, the mothers thought went
naturally to greet her child in her heav-
snly Joy. Instead of tears of anguish
over the earthly relics, there were tears
of joy that her darling was SO blessed.
Did her love lessen? Never. But her
power to love deepened as she thought
Of those things which are eternal, and
realized that her child had entered upon
them.-Harper's Bazar.

The Origin OF the Telescope.

WITH reference to Galileo's claim to
be the inventor of the telescope, M.
Wolf quotes (Annalen der Physik ind
Chemie) from a manuscript of Scheiner
(1616) in library in Zurich, a curious
passage, of which the following is part:
" 1t must be allowed, first, considering
what the telescope does, that Baptista
Porta has better right to be thought the
inventor, because he describes, after
his own way, in obscure words and
puzzling expressions, an instrument
like the telescope. But, secondly, if we
speak of the telescope, as it is now used
after general perfection, we must say
that neither Porta nor Calico is the
first discoverer of it, but the telescope
in this sense was discovered in Ger
many, among the Belgians, and that
accidentally, by one Kramer, who sold
spectacles, and either for amusement or
experimentation, combined concavc
and convex glasses, so that with glasses
he could see quite small and distant
object large and near; at which success
being reioiced, he united several SINH
lar pairs of glasses in tube, and Of
fered the combination at a high price
to wealthy people. Thereafter they
(the telescopcs) became gradually more
common among the people, and spread
to other countries. In this way two of
them were brought for the first time by
a Belgian merchant to Italy; of these,
one remained long in the college at
Rome; the other went first to Venice,
later to Naples; and here the Italians,
and especially Calico, at that time
Professor of Mathematics in Padua,
took the opportunity of improving it,
in order to apply it to astronomical
purposes, and extend its use further.
Thus the telescope, as we have it to-
day, was discovered by Germany and
perfected by Italy; the whole world
now rejoices in it. Mature.

So, ON the Sd of September, began the
advance ON Biela. The whole Of the
force encamped in front of Rasgrad
marched out under the command Of
Achmet Eyoub, and proceeded by va
rious roads in the direction of Kacelyevo.
Here the Russians had strongly in
trenched themselves in front Of the
Kara-Lom.
On the night of the 5th, the right
wing, under Fuad Pasha, reached Cos
tanza, while the center, under Nedjib,
occupied Solerick. MEANWHILE ever
since the 31st of August, Sabit had been
creeping along from Karrahassankoi,
over the hills at the back, and along the
valley of the river past Bekirin Yen
ikOi, in the same direction. On Thurs
day, the 9Th, combined attack on Ka-
celyevO was carried out in excellent
style. The Russians defended them
selves extremely well, and made the
most Of the advantages of their position;
but it was manifest that they were out
numbered. The Turks showed good
courage, and advanced with GOODNESS
against a very heavy artillery fire, de-
livered with admirable precision. The
enemy had intrenched themselves in
three lines, but the first was soon car
ried. The second was more obstinate
ly contested, and here occurred, proba-
bly,, one of the most extraordinary cpl
sodes of the war.
AS the Russians began to waver and
their fire to slacksn, as the Turks were
pressing forward with increased vigor,
Il young Russian officer was seen stand
ing just behind one of their batteries,
waving his sword and boldly encourage
ing his men to stand their ground.
Over and over again he rallied the
troops who were pouring out of the
trench, but it was Of no use; it was not
in his power alone to stem the tide of
victory. His men, animated by his ex-
ample, turned and held their own for a
few minutes, but the fire was too heavy
for any human thing to stay and live.
They could not bear it. They fell on
their knees and entrcated him to fly,
but not an inch would he stir, and, at
last, he stood for more than a minute
absolutely alone, save for the dying and
the dead piled in heaps around him.
1t could only end one way amid the
storm of bullets which were raining
round him thick as hail; one at last
found its way to that noble heart, and
he fell dead. AS the Turks swept over
the parapet, and dashed past the spot
where he lay, the Colonel, struck by the
boys extraordinary courage and devo-
ton, gave orders that he should be de-
Gently buried. In the evening he re-
ported to the Commander-in-C Chief that
the body was that of a girl. give this
most astounding declaration of the
Colonel upon the authority of one of the
English officers on the Serdar's staff,
who tells me that he was actually pres
ent when it was made. 1t seems al
most incredible; but, true or false, no
Drawer heart ever beat than now sleeps
in that little grave on the sunny slope
of Kacelyevo.-COr. London Times.
