Judge X. X. Paige designs TO start from
Chicago before the middle Of the present
month with a small party Of explorers and
experts, for the purpose Of examining the
Bad Lands region Of Dakota. Prot. Aughey
of Lincoln WAS intending 70 acc 'n.any Mr..
Paige, but fad. ii impossible to up..
ly do no now The exploration rali,ea
investigation, Of the features .. he Bad
Lands il TO he made under the auspices Of
the Chicago Times. Mr.. Paige believes
that many interesting fossil remains may be
picked up or uneartied in hat region. Ii
is rich in natuarl curiosities and treasures.
During the war our soldiers we're frequently
in the Bad Lands, and use to pick up large
quantities of the rare looking things which
teemed upon it's service, and keep them un.
til they would get tired out with carrying
them, when they would pile their treasures
up in heaps and pick out the best Of them,
in the hope Of being able 10 take them
home. One day the general remarked that
this country looks like the furnaces of hell
with the fires put out" He referred to tkt
large formations and organisations Of ths
surface of the grounds, and not the small
items of curiosity. We we're informed 0
these facts last summer, while visiting i,
Dakota, by q person who was one Of tn
soldiers that we refer to. 1t was his opin
ion that the Bad Lands we're the most cur
ious and instructive portions of country tina
could be found in the confines Of our repub
lie. Mr.. Paige designs to remain in tn
Bad Lands about six weeks.

The Latest Invention IN UsefmI House
hold Articles.

Within the last few years there has
been expended n great deal of inven-
tive thought and genius upon what may
properly be chssed as household aiti-
clcs, the most noted results of which
are the production of the sewing ma
chine, the wringcr, the washing ma
chine, the carpet sweeper, etc. Almost
every week we chronicle the advent OF
some new invention by which the cares
and labors of housekeeping are le.
sencd, and woman's work made easier.
The newest thing TO challenge our at
housekeeper, is what is called the
Novelty Brush Holder, Carpet St.etcher
and Sweeper, avery simple contrivance
designed to f,Wly hold in position any
kind of IA brush or dustcr; having an
extension handle that enables one to
wash or dust windows, walls or cell
ings without the aid of step ladder.
That is one of its conveniences, and it
is also one of the best carpet sweepers
in the market, holding the brush firmly
at any angle. IT. cleans the carpet thor
oughly, raises no dust, and does not
wear the carpetlike the ordinary broom
or brush, and will outwear half dozen
brooms. AS handle for the scrubbing
brush it is the best device ever made,
no more kneelings on the floor, no
more back aches or sore fingers.
AS a carpet stretcher alone it is.wortb
its cost, as carpet of any size can be
laid evenly without any of the labor
and vexation usually attending such
WORK. 1t is strong, simple, thoroughly
made, cannot get out of order, has no
screws, lever or hinges, is compact,
cheap and durable.
Ills manufactured by Brown a. Co.,
Cincinnati, the well-known manufac-
turers of useful household articles, and
is sold only by their agents to house
keepers. The real utility OF this article
will at once be seen by those most in
terested, and we predict for it large
sale. Every housekeeper in the land
will want one.
Any reliable lady or gentleman wish
ing remunerative employment, would
do well TO secure the agency for this
county, which can be done by enclosing
stamp for descriptive circular and
terms, TO BROWN IL Co., Grand Hotel

Wool for Australia.

The executive board of the Vernon,
Sheep Breeders Association, at a meet
ing this spring, instructed the secretary
of the Association to make arrange.
ments for, select and forward sample
fleeces of Vermont Mcrino woods fol
exhibition at the International exhibi
ton to be held at Melbourne, Australia
during the time of our winter of 1880
81, provided the expense should moi
exceed $75. After investigating the
matter, we found it would not be nee
essary to select and forward the wool:
for that exhibition until the spring Of
1880, and accordingly made no selec'
tions or efforts in that direction unit
few days since, when we received no.
tice of an International show to be held
at Sydney, Australia, during the time
of our winter of 1880, and an urgent
request from Messrs. r. w. Cameron &
Co., of New York, that we would send
to them sample feeces Of our woods
for exhibition at that show, and Offering
to take our woods by one of their ships
that would sail from New York, May
10. Although many of our best sheep
were shorn, and the time was too short
to make the best and most satisfactory
selection, we concluded to make as good
as we could in the brief time we had,
and accordingly made such selections
and forwarded number of fleeces last
week. We were necessarily confined
to few flOcks and to those in this imme-
diate vicinity, and found we were CON-
PEELED to leave out the larger part of the
fiocks we had intended to visit and Sc
lect from.
AS it is, we think the exhibit will be
creditable to our focks, but not as COM
plete as we could have made it, had we
had more time and better opportunities
in Vermont. 1t is perfectly safe to say
much better exhibit could be made
from the feeces not sent, than has gone,
provided time and opportunity to select
carefully before the sheep were shorn
could have been taken.
1t is impossible to prepare fleece
to show'to good advantage after it has
been shorn in the ordinary way, tied up
with the common sheep Irvine and
thrown into the pile with the wool from
tho rest of the flock. AS large num-
Der of our best flocks were already
shorn when we commenced making our
selections, this still mole cnrtailed our
opportunities for making those selec-
tons; as IL is, probably one-half of the
feeces sent are as good as we could
have selected for the purpose the other
half, although good, are not as superior
as we could have gathered with better
opportunities, but there is one great
advantage in sending at this time; the
woods after being exhibited at Sydney,
can be sent from that place to the exhi-
bition at Melbourne with very little adj
ditional expense, when, If we choose, |
additional selections can be made and
sent out, and the exhibit of Vermont
woods at the latter exhibition can be
made more perfect. & ~ i
We shall make detailed statement
OF the exhibit, giving the names of the
breeders who have furnished lfieeces,
with description Of the woods at a flu |
ture time. 3 ~ tE.M
