NOTES OF THE DAY.

JAMES FISK, SR, is now q lightning
rod agent, and bets are now even that,
like his son, he will die violent death.
In Stuttgart, one of the healthiest
towns in the world, there is but one
spo!hecary to 7,662inhsbitants, but there
is a saloon for every 155. There is but
one beef butcher to every 1,75l, while the
hog butchers are more numerous, there
being one for ever 2,lG6.
A BosToN man named Samuel b.
Hale, who has been farming in Buenos
Ayres forty-dve years, owns now $4,000
acres Of rich prairie, 5000 cattle, 500
horses, 10000 sheep and l,400 hogs
The fences cost $4,000. Last year the
wool product of the farm Melted $4,000
pounds, and there was yield OF 100000
pounds of tsllow; also 25,jl0 sheepskins.
A PADUA publisher is to send to the
Exhibition an edition OF Dante scarcely
LARGER than the thumb-nail, and intended
for watch chain appendage. The
letters are so small as to resemble grains
of sand, and few, of course, can decipher
them without msgnifyiDg glass. 1t be-
ing impossible to distribute the type al
ter the edition had been worked of, it
was returned to the foundry. This Had
in a nutshell will be bound in red velvet
with silver clasps.
REPUBLICAN Senators have contributed
500 each toward defrsyipg the expenses
of the coming campaign, and Govern
ment clerks will be called up as usual for
contributions. A Tribune special says
they will be assured that contributions
are not to be obligatory, aud that refusal
to subscribe to the campaign fund will
not endauger the official tenure of any
one. Knowing that Mr.. Hayes leads the
list and that he will be glad to have them
follow his example, the poor devils will
hardly dare refuse to aid in greasing the
political machine.

GET UP AND DUST.

The subject of this paragraph Is dust.
We do not mean gold dust, or for that
matter the dust which is blown into our
eyes by every gale as we walk upon the
streets. What we do mean is that GER
tain kinds of dust are combustible, and
are liable at any moment to explode and
deal destruction on all sides. Explosions
are of two kinds, one being produced by
the expansion of gas or vspor confined
in too small a space, such as the bursting
of steam boiler. The other Is produced
by the sudden combustion OF highly
infammsble body, such as the blowing
up Of powder mill.
The finer the PARTICLES of such sub
stance the more rapid will be the COM
bustion. Take q stick aud light 1t, and
it will burn slowly, grind it into pow
der and let it float in the air, and 1t will
be- consumed almost instsntaue ousl y.
The recent explosion In Minneapolis, has
shown that -four dust is as highly inhsm-
able as that OF wood or of coal, and any
large manufsctury which produces a
Quantity of dust similar 10 this, will be
as dangerous to work In, unless the ut
most precautions are taken, as a powder
mill.
In some mills the danger has been
much modified by using q hne spray
of water which sllsys the dust
and renders the atmosphere more
suitable for breathing. Other mills run
only through the day so as to give the
dust time to settle at night. To work In
such q foul atmosphere would be highly
dangerous in itself, ard mill owners
should take the subject of their employees
health into consideration. 1t is general
" understood that cotton mill, q plain
ing mill, or Touring mill, where the
dust floats thickly in the air while the
machinery is running at high rate Of
speed, is about as dangerous piece oil
property as a man can own, and it Is
wonderful that more care is not taken IN
some manner to keep the dust out OF the
machinery rooms.

AS SAMPLES of the manner in which
our boys are affected by what they read
in those modern sbomiustions-dime
novels, weekly story papers, &c.-the
following may well be taken:
Two boys IN New York, whose brains
were full of all sorts of nonsense, forged
checks upon their employers for $4,000,
and started for the Barbados. On the
way out they tried to get the sailors to
1uutiny, hoist the black flag and start OF
on piratcal cruise, but the sailors only
laughed at them, and when they arrived
at the end of the voyage they were ar
rested and taken home.
The other case was that of three
Detroit boys of fourteen years old, who
armed themselves heavily with revolvers
and knives and started for the West,
they went about fifty miles, when two of
them were run over and killed on the
railroad and the other one was only too
glad to come home.

From Creel'S New Stale Gazette

From Creel'S New Stale Gazette.
We regard the verdict given in the
Circuit Court of Ohio county and sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court of the
State in the Sweeney-Bsker libel suit as
outrageous. We can't persuade ourselves
to believe that Maj. Sweeneys character
was ever injured by the REGISTERS pub
locations to the extent Of $4,000 although
we have kind feeling for Major jim.
The principle of such verdicts is incorrect,
with due regard for the Judges of the
Supreme Court. $4,000 is BIZ amount Of
money; and if the members of the Su-
preme Court had to make their living by
publishing a newspaper, they never
would have confirmed such judgment
of the lower court. Maj. Sweeney's race
for the Sergeancy of the city of Wheel
ing convinCes Us that his character had
not been injured. This is our opinion,
the Supreme Court to the contrary not.
withstanding.

AGOOD TIME LEAVE.
TRe story of n Man Who was in One
of The minneapolis Flour Mills.

The following statements OF David
Day, an employee of Petit * Robinson's
mill, graphically describes his terrible ex-
perience: l went down to the MIL
about six o'clock, as usual, and had look
ed the building over, and sat down at a
desk at the front office, which faces the
Wash0urn Mill. The first knew | was
lifted out of my chair and hurled violent
ly against the stone wall of the mill, and
the desk after me. l gained my feet,
and reached the side window, when l was
thrown back again by the
same kind of leverage. The Of
fee was full of flying and falling debris.
l did not hesr any noise at all, not so
loud as the snap Of q ire-CrsCker even,
and, OF course, could not hsve any idea
of what the matter was. Though
stunned little, l did not lose my
senses, but scrambled back to the side
window, knowing that if the roof and
upper floors we're coming down, | should
be safer in the window, as the walls are
at least three feet thick, the best mill
walls on the canal. They were rocking
like q cradle, the sash was gone and l
looked out Of the front window and saw
the big mill was gone and the canal was
full of stones and stuff, and the place
where it stood mass Of flame, and the
elevator was on fire from top to bottom.
The falling of the walls into the canal
flooded the packing floor of our mill, and
the water was several inches deep until
it ran of. II seemed as if sheet of
flame had been blown through the mill,
Igniting only light stuff. The flames
were roaring overhead, and l looked up
to find the whole mill above me was a.
full Of fire as the walls would hold, and
as l knew couldn't do anything l left
the mill. l don't believe it possible that
q soul could have escaped from the big
mill, as it was blown all to pieces and sll
on fire in an instant. l can't give any
opinion as to the cause of the explosion,
but doubt if it was caused by the dust
from the middlings purifier"

OUR UNwIsE LEGISLATION.

Senator GORDON made powerful
speech IN the Senate, on Monday, on the
miserable abortion called the financial
legislation of the country. In opening
he pictured in glowing terms the pres
poets and condition of the country in
the years Immediately succeeding the
war. Then he pictured the gradual
change from prosperity to almost univer-
sal adversely, and sounded the keynote
Of his speech, which was that for all this
want and suffering and financial distress
lll-umed and unwise legislation was re-
sponsible For the sake of argument he
admitted that specie payments were des.
irable; but he denied that, because specie
payment was desirable, therefore the
shortest possible cut to resumption, re.
gsrdless of consequences, was either wise
or statesmanlike. He had known of 8
General, he said, who had deemed it wise,
when strong position was to be captur-
ed, not to capture the position by q
direct assault st the expense of his army,
but to attack by some other
and longer road, which it took
more timo to travel, bat saved many
lives. But the contrsctionists insist that
the country should march right on to
the mosts OF bankruptcy and over the
abattis of ruin TO capture the citadel at
cost which was fearful to contemplate,
and would make 1t very doubtful if
they could hold the fort after it was
taken. a strong part OF the Senator'S
speech was his comparison Of the results
Of the policy of contraction on the one
hand, as represented by the financial mis-
tory of England under Peel, end Of the
United States since the war, and of the
policy of stimulation, as represented ny
France and Italy. The kingdom Of
England and the Republic OF America,
he said, had pursued the fatal policy of
contraction. At the end of an exbsusting
war each had said that specie payments
must be resumed forthwith, and to that
end each had proceeded TO contract the
volume of circulating medium in order to
bring it to the standard Of the narrow
coin basis left over from the strain of
war. In both cases the result wa. the
sane: ruin followed. The Republic OF
France and the Kingdom of Italy, on the
other hand, pursued the opposite policy.
They started with the idea that the
wsest way TO resume was to stimulate the
industries of the country until its prOduc-
tions should bring in sufficient gold to
redeem the increased circulation which
bad been used to stimulate the industries
of the country. In both cases the result
has been prosperity. The logic of these
facts was irrefutable. and the Senator
hammered them in trst-csss style.
