A CAMPAIGN SLANDEn.-When DR.. r,
V. Pierce was candidate for State Senator,
his political opponents published pretended
analysis of his popular medicines, hoping
thereby to prejudice the people against him.
His election by an overwhelming majority
severely rebuked his traducers, who sought
to impeach his business integrity. No notice
would have been taken of these campaign lies
were it not that some of his enemies (and
every successful business man has his full
quota of envious rivals) are republishing
these bogus analyses. Numerous and most
absurd formulas have been published, pur-
porting to come from high authority and it
is a significant fact that no two have been
at all alike-conclusively proving the dishon.
esty of their authors.

In the beginning of 1866, when the
had become very bitter one, young
Hungarian maguate desired an audi
ence of Bismarck. This same young
man, Baron, was known in his ma
tive country as very eccentric person.
age. He had not paid a single farthing
in the shape OF taxes during the long
reign of absolutism: his lands had been
left uncultivated to save his being oblig-
ed to pay any dues. On being admitted
to Bismarck's presence, he stepped up
TO the latter and informed him that he
had invented a shirt of mail that was
not only bullet-proof but was not uu-
comfortable to wear. The Chancellor
smiled. upon which the magnate OBJ
served that he wore such Il shirt. and
requested Bismarck to test its po vers of
resistance. The Chancellor is not a
man 10 be tritled with, and seeing he
had not 4 fool before him, seized his
revolver and fired five shots successive
ly aU his visitor. The latter remained
unharmed and immove2ble, while the
bullets stI uck him and fell TO thegrOund.
Hereupon, he showed the Chancellor
his invention. 1t was a shirt of many
folds sown together. The elasticity
and denseneSs of the stuff gave it such
a powerful resistance. The Hungarian
noblemen now advised the Chancellor
TO accept his invitation, and, when the
latter inquired what was TO be the price
of it, he said BEAT the Austrians."
.'We shall do that in any case, - replied
Bismarck. Some days after this occur
renee, Blind made an attempt Oh Bis
marck's life, firing five shots at the lat
Ter at a distance of two or three PAGES
only. The newspapers stated that the
Chancellor appeared quiet, cool, and
even smiled while being shot at. Not
one Of the bullets had hurt him. \
month later Bismarck had kept his
promise-thc Austrians were beaten.

How Needles are Made.

All needles are made out of steel wire
which is furnished of various sizes.
The wires having been cut and straight
ened, are first roughly ground by wa

of the dry grinder, who sits before his
grindstOne pointing each wire (Which
is to make two needles) at both ends.
4 fan wheel as he works, drives the
deadly dust away from him. The wages
of the needle pointer remain the same
as Of old, bur each man is taxed about
twenty-five cents a week for extra ex-
pense of life saving machinery. Next,
the two pointed wires are ''guttered"
in 4 stamping machine and then the
eyes are punched. The twir needles are
then separated, but they look rough and
rusty, and are soft enough to bend at q
touch. They are hardened by being
heated red hot, and then plunged into
cold water. They are subsequently,
tempered by great heat on metal
plate: if they get too little heated they
bend; if too much they break. Lastly,
they must be polished. For very SUI
periOr needles this has TO be done six
times, for none less than three. The
polishing is accomplished in sort OF
mangle, by oil, soap and emery. Each
polishing requires eight hours; and
when all il finished they have still TO be
cleaned, dried, sorted and put up for

The Siocking-Bird

During the hot-spell l removed my
writing materials to the front porch, +,
overlooking the lake, and a bright view
of shining water, broken by islands of
oak, hickory, magnolia and the far line
of crankling coast, with tree trunks
visible in the clear air, two miles away.
Try to distinguish such objects across
the Ohio, at Cincinnati, dark mass of
foliage, not light background. There
are mockiDg-birds nestled in the orange
trees all about me, who keep up a con-
slant medley of song. One fellow es-
pecially, likes to perch on the castles
Uopmost peak and sing his very heart
out. My appearance on the porch this
morning was a signal for rapturous
shout among them. for these birds learn
TO know that you like their voices, as
well as any prima donna at Springer
Hall. One voice l distinguished, par
ticularly, by the rapidity with which its
troulGdes ran from one 10 another; wren
finch, linnet, chick, partridge were all
run together IN q marvellous phantasy
of notes. AS the hearing of one ear is
slightly affected, was at loss TO get his
position, aud stepped from the porch to
see if he was on his favorite perch on
the peaks, "a did so, l saw has grace
full gray coat snd white lining fluttering
on pine. But soon as the gay fellow
saw that ] noticed him, he went mad
with vanity and conceit. Down he
jumped on lower branches, until he was
just above my head, executing variety
OF fantastic trills, and fluttering and
throwing his body about in state OF
intense excitement. A fellow likes TO
be appreciated, and know it, in this
world. whistled back and he stopped,
cooked his head aside, as if to say" Fry
that again old fellow, but you don't do
it right; here's the way" then of he
went. They are very fearless. One
flew into the room and l caught it on
the window pane. In five minutes or
less, holding it by the feet, it was eating
rice from my open hand. But the wild
bird dies in confinement; and even OF
the young taken from the nests, five out
of six are lost in raising. IL is pitifui
TO see the mother bird come 70 the cage
to feed those taken in this way; and a
popular superstition asserts that the
mother bird poisons her young, cap
tured and Gagged, if you let her at them.
Poor thing! Isuppose the worst TO be
said of her is, that in her over anxiety,
she over-ieeds them.

Found at Last.

sinister, no doubt you have all the
learnin' that's required In school,
teacher, but it wants more than learnin'
to make man able to teach school in
Cranberry Gulch. Youth soon find
that out if you try. We've had three
who tried it on. One lays there in the
graveyard I; another lost his eye and left ;
the last one opened school and left be-
fore noontime for the benefit of his
health. he hasn't been back since. Now
you're a slender build, and all your
learnin' will only make it worse, for ali
our young folks are roughs and don't
stand no nonsense"
This was what one Of the trustees OF
the district said to my friend Harry
Flotee, when he made application for
the vacant position of teacher.
"Let me try. 1 know | am slender,
but am tough, and have strong
WILL" said Harry.
"Jest as YOU like. There's the school
house, and I'll have notice given If you
want it DONE" said the trustee.
IL do" said Harry, land III open
next Monday, at a. m.
The notice was given, and there was
a good deal OF excitement in the gulch
and along the Yuba flats. More than
fifty young people of both sexes made
an excuse to drop into the tavern to
get sight at the fellow who thought he
could keep school in that district, and
many contemptuous glance fell on the
slender form aud youthful face of thl
would-be teacher.
Eight O'Clock on Monday morning
came, and Harry Flotee went down Il
the school-bonse with key in one hano
and valise in the other.
.Ready to slope, if he finds we arr
too much for him." said crOss-eyed
broad-shouldered fellow Of eighteen.
The school house was unlocked and
the new teacher went to the desk
Some of the young folks went In TO se'
what he was going to do, though schoo
was not called.
Harry opened his valise and took Ou
a large belt. Then after buckling !
around his waist, he put three Colt
navy revolvers there each of six barrels
and a bowie-knife, eighteen inches il
the blade.
sThunder He means business.
muttered the cross-eyed chap.
The new teacher now took out
square card about four inches each way
walked to the other end of the school
lhouse and tackled it up against the wall
Returning to his desk, he drew q revol
