How PULP Is MADE-The Portland
(NIaine) Press tells us how wood pulp is
made: So much is said about the paper
pulp, which is extensively used in the man
ufacture of paper, that brief description
of the process of making it will be enter
tanning. Any white soft wood may be used
The bark is taken of, the knots and dark
and decayed places cut out. It is then put
into largo Oaliron and boiled, which ex.
tracts oil the glutinous matter and rosiu,
and renders il soft. It is then put on
large stone grinder, with water pouring on
it all the time. The grindstone wears off
the fbers until they are finer than sawdust,
which fioat away into receptacle. The
water is drained off by means of fine sieve,
leaving the pulp, which consists of fine
tuzz or splinters Of wood. 1t is white, and
requires no bleaching, but is ready to be
mixed with rag pulp or anything else that
has strong fiber, receiving the proper
constituents to make into paste. after which
it is run off into paper sheets; whereas rags
have to be washed and blcachcd with chic
ride of hme, soda, ash and alum, and such
strong chemicals, to take out the color
Then they are picked to pieces and made
into pulp. The process by which wood
pulp is made is purely mechanical. 1t can
be made cheap-say at about one cent q
pound.

"a MBssAGE AND AN ANswER. Some
days ago, gentleman who occupies the po-
sition of Postmaster at a certain station
which shall be namelcss, received circular
signed "Geo. 4. Dawson" dated at Wash
ington, requesting him to make "voluu
tary" contribution for the benefit of the
campaign fund Of the great party of moral
ideas. The document earnestly besought
the Postmastcr's assistance in clcctipg Gar
field and Arthur who seem to have settled
down to business, and gone to work at col.
locting with commendablc promptncss. 1t

the continuance of the Republican party in

complish that end aud contained an init
nation that that commodity was at present

contained, herewith enclose $40 in Con-
fcderate currency as my uohuntdry contri-
button for the success of the Republican

thcr "my principles or interest are involved" !"

Orr MON OF A CHURCH.-The Reformed
Presbyterian Synod of America, now in
session in Philadelphia, makes the following
utterances officially "Ncvcr was infidelity
more bold or blatant. Newspapers arc
published professcdly in the cause of inf
deity. New books are written and old
books reprinted, and lecturers go from city
to city and town to town in the interests of
the same unholy cause. And when an in
tidel lecturer of note appears in any of our
cities, large audiences, paying high prices
for admission, crowd the halls and hail with
applause the most profanc and blasphemous
uttcranccs Of the speaker. Closely allied
with iutidclity, and manfesting itself with
no less bCldncss in this nation and those of
Europe, is Communism. Here it declares
war against capital and seeks to put fettcrs
upon labor Especially on the Pacific coast

it clamorcd, The Chinese must 90 = that
a candidate for the Chief Magistracy of
this nation has taken up the cry and echoed
it within the walls of the capitol" The
Synod advise fasting and prayer to counter
act these adverse Influences.

KILL Your SHEEP YoUNG.-Thcrc are
few animals kept on the farm which. when
they are in their prime, pay as well as sheep,
aud there are very few, if any others, upon
whom olu age has such damaging cffcct.-
As the sheep is much shorter lived than
any other Of our domestic animals, it is not
strange that many farmers attempt to keep
them too long. At ten years Of age the
horse is just in his prime, aud the COW is
as good as ever, with the prospect of remain
ing SO several years longer. But the sheep is
very old when it reaches the age Of ten,
the natural limit of the term Of its life
Attcr reaching this age sheep are very
likely to be injured by the slight exposures
which do younger animals no harm They
are iaorc liable to be attacked by disease,
and if they live they will be likely to pro.
ducc less wool and smaller lambs than they
have done previously. We do not think it
pays, except perhaps in special instances,
to keep sheep after they are six years old.

ELECTRIC LIGHT AND ELECTRIC LIGHT
STnCkS

While Epson has been spreading himself
over whole pages of the New York papers and
shouting us deaf over his alleged discoveries
In electric lighting, SAWYER, his great COM
petitor, has kept quietly on at his work.
Reliable advices from both headquarters
leave no doubt that in all that is usefu and
practical SAWYER is a long way ahead. But
for a temporary injury to his eyes recently, ho
would ero now have thrown his invention
open and shown to tho world the astonishing
perfection he has reached, aud the simplicity
and great value of his system. But public
demonstration is at hand when all will have
chance to see and judge for themselves.
Another noticeable difference in the two
men and systems is while the friends of EDI-
SON took advantage of their own tidal wave
to sell large amounts of their stocks at Gabu-
lous prices tho SAWYER people would not and
did not, sell single share, though pressed
with numerous offers to buy at double the par
value of the shares
In our opinion, this at least proves the con-
tldence of the owners, those most likely to be
posted in the merits and value of the SAWYER
system OF electric lighting-Erchdnge.
As seen by notice in our columns yester-
day, the Washington Electric Light Com
pany are preparing for business To make
success doubly assured, it is understood the
Washington company have secured the
right to operate both the SAWYER and the
EDISON systems.
