PARTISAN Po1NTs.-It is said that, in
love, the men are always 'lorded over by
the women.
Not so.
In love the one who is slorded over is the
one who loves, be it woman or man.
If it is embarrassing for a woman to have
improprities said before her, it is perhaps
even more embarrassing for a refined man
to hear improprieties said before a woman.
Nature never loses her rights the ro-
mantle women loves the prosaic man the
wit is enamored of the fool.
An old man said Women are like wealth
crooks, never settled until they are rusty.
Beware of women who wear high-necked
dresses and always keep their eyes cast
down. They are full of pride and jealousy
natures of iron and passions of fire. When
these are welded they are dangerous.
A look may lie. a smile may be peridious,
but a wOman's dress never deceives.

one of our leading exchanges, and is daily
growing in favor in the community. Thanks,
Bro. Wolfe; and We are glad to have the
good will of your excellent people. Four
months ago we had not a subscriber in Mon
roe; now we have 26, and others in the
county. Our paper starts westward within
two hours after it leaves the press, and we
hope in time to make it serve for those who
feel unable to take a daily paper from the
capital.-ED. +. & NJ l-Messrs. A. F.

THE REMAINS OF COLUMBUS.

We have been all along, ever since the
project was mooted by the New York
World, in favor of importing that
Egyptian obelisk, the one known as
Cleopatra's Needle, with the Masonic en-
blems at its base. There is kind of
feeling prevalent in the public mind of
Americans that the country is short of
select historical relics, and one or two
would go great ways in satisfying this
longing. There are but few, if any,
authenticated antediluvian relics in
this country or any where else, and the
.postdiluvian relics, what few there are,
are stored away in the Patent Office at
Washington Or have gone into politics.
But there is one relic that America

all the. money left of the Geneva. Award
to buy it, and that is the mortal remains
of Co.umbus-Ch Christopher Columbus.

Domingo, 1t should be purchased
without delay and broughtto the United
States, even if we have to buy the whole

Destructive influences.
Contemporary Review.1

Doubtless countless myriads Of living
creatures cohe into existence, of which
by far the greater part must be de-
stroyed. One aphis may be the parent
Of 1904, 100000 individuals in five gen.
erations, and when these are swallowed
up by lady-birds and other enemies in
mass, it is no minute individual varia-
ton that can avert their fate. The un-
checked produce of one pair Of herrings
would stock the Atlantic in few years,
until there was no room to move; and
when these are engulphed by shoals, as a
mouthful for the Baleenoptera, they
can make as little struggle for their
existence as the grass can make that the
OK licks up, or the vegetation Of dis
trict that is devastated by locusts. 1t is
the unwritten law of Nature that one
race must die that another may live;
this other, in its turn, subscribing the
same end, and SO, constantly, until the
cycle be complete. Without this law,
against which there is no appeal, nature
would be a chaotic impossibility. The
destructive influences are so predom-
inant that the carnage is indiscriminate
and without struggle. 3.

ALL interest now centres in Chicago,
where the Republican Convention meets
next Wednesday morning. The clans
are gathering, and by Saturday night the
struggle will be fairly in progress. Opin-
ions as to the result are worth but little.
The fight will evidently be the most bit
ter and determined in the history of the
Republican party. Nothing like it has
been known in this country since the
Democratic Convention in Charleston
in 1860. The fight will commence
with the manner of organization and
unless there is split early in the strug-
gle will be kept up%ith intense earnest
ness till the name of the nominee is an
announced. We shall not attempt to
tell our readers daily how it is going to
end, but we shall give them all the de-
tails of the struggle as fully and fairly
as it is possible to do with full and
competent force of reporters and a free
use of the wires.

lNCW Ivan 1NChiAA5 Aoo@l
Gibbs, the father of the Alderney
Dairy business in this city has signalized
his return to business by iuventing a ma
chine. Washing dishes is pretty i'm
portant feature of domestic economy, and
all housekeepers will be interested in
description Of this very simple and effec-
tive contrivance. ..
1t consists of wooden tank seven feet
long, three feet wide and two feet deep,
divided into three compartments. The
hot water is let into the first compart-
ment, and when full it overfows into the
second, while the third is listle lower
still, and receives its water supply from
the overflow of the second. and
from this it escapes into the waste
pipe. A zinc tank made little smaller
than these wooden compartments has an
open-work wire bottom and holes in its
sides. 1t is strengthened by two iron
rods, which project far enough to form
handles. This is the receptacle for the
dishes. One hundred or more soiled
dishes, the dirty side down, may be put
into the zinc tank at one time Two
persons then plunge 1t into the lower OF
the compartments and churn it up and
down few times, which removes the
thickest of the refuse from the dishes
1t is next lifted into the second compart-
ment and the operation repeated, and
then put into the highest one, which is
connected directly with the hot-watel
pipes.
The water in this compartment is very
hot and after little vigorous churnine
the zinc tank is lifted out with the dishes
all smoking hot and absolutely clean
If allowed to dry by themselves, even
clean water leaves light blush tingt
on dishes, and so as the bowls and plates
are taken out they receive little dah
with a cloth dampened in cold water
The sudden change Of temperature thu.
produced upon the surface causes an in
stant evaporation, which leaves tn,
dishes entirely dry and thoroughly
clean. The whole operation takes M
more than one minute. ' aH
| In the establishment where this ma
chine is now used it saves the labor O.
two women, and does s'the work more sat
isfactorily than it would be if done il
the old fashioned way. 1t also saves tn
crockery from getting nicked. 1t seem
as if such machine might be made o
service in washing the milk pans in
dairy. 1t certainly is very useful con
trivance for all places where there ar
many dishes to wash.
