July Goth, 1880.
Mr. J. B. BENNETT,
Watertown, Wis.
DEAR SIR We wish to let you know
how we get along with the Watertown
Threshing Machine we bought from you
last fall, 1879. The machine has got a
first rate character all around us among
all we threshed for Your improvement
on the shoe works splendidly. We
threshed all day long and had not a
moments trouble with the sleeves or shoe,
or any other part Of the machine. The
grain of all kinds, and especially barley
and Russian Fife, came as clean as pos
sible from the machine into the half
bushel, and no grain was wasted either.
Men stood holding their hats under the
straw-carrier trying to catch grain going
over with the straw, but they found none.
Every one we threshed for last fall wants
us again, and more besides. The power
ran light and easy it was easy work fol
our horses. We did well with the ma
chine are all we'll satisfied with it
You can show anybody this letter, be-
cause they will do well to get your ma
chine. Yours Truly,
KETTLEHoN, BECKETT q WICLMAN,

Strnnae accident.

Last Thursday morning at about l
o'clock, Alexander, son of Henry Ber-
tram, Jr., aged years, fell from window
in the Sd story of the Commercial Hotel
to the ground. His cries brought the
night porter to his assistance, and strange
to say if was found that none of his bones
were broken and he was apparently unin-
iured, save considerably frightened, al
though the distance he fell was nearly
thirty feet. From the little fellows talk
the theory of his fall is that he imagined
himself climbing into hammock and
under this delusion fell. He is now as
well as ever and the hero Of remarkable
escape from death.

BLACKRURN'S MONKEY.
An Active and Intelligent Private secre-
tary for "A Congressman.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Times.
Blackburn has a monkey that he uses
as a private secretary. This distinguish.
ed monkey was presented to him by a
Kentucky naval officer. The monkey
Is very well educated and performs his
duty as private secretary with ease, ra-
pidity and dispatch. Blackburn has him
rigged out in suit of clothes, and ths
monkey has just enough of life to know
how to initiate the private secretary to
perfection. When the mail comes in,
in the morning, the monkey is very
nervous until Blackburn gets ready to
90 to work. Then the monkey sits up
right i'll a chair by the deak, opposite
Blackburn, and waits neryously. When
the mail is put down in front of him,
and Blackburn lifts his finger, the mon
ked quickly seizes and rips open the
first envelope, tosses the letter to Black
burn, and the envelope in the waste
basket. If Mr.. Blackburn takes his eye
of from him for single moment, he
rips up the letter also, and proceeds To
the next one. He has seen his master
tear up letters after taking them out of
the envelope, and he tears them up if
he is given the slightest chance. This
monkey is extraordinarily intelligent.
He is quite up to the average page of
the House of Representatives in point
of intellect. He has coat, vest and
trousers. He is very proud Of his
clothes, and will not let any body put
them on for him. He puts them on
himself. Some mornings he gets the
trousers on wrong side foremost, and
then they bother him. One morning
he had his trousers on in this way, but
they SO annoyed him that he took them
off entirely, buttoned up his coat, and
went aroud trouserless, to the great
amusement of the callers. Blackburn's
pet is an unusually bright, healthy crea-
ture. Blackburn devotcs most of his
leisure time TO the education of his in
tellect. just as soon as the monkey
has learned to read, Mr.. Blackburn will
declare him perfect. lie has him highly
trained in other ways, however. The
monkey knows the best brand of whisky
that is kept in every Kentucky head
quarters, and passes The bottle around
with great solemnty-that is to say, il
he is closely watched. There is just a
vague suspicion in the mind of the vis-
itor that the monkey may crack him
over the head with bottle sometimes
before he knows it; but the eye Of Black
burn keeps him down. This monkey
also has a way of knowing what callers
are unpleasant to his master. In their
presence, this disagreeable pet, who
shares his masters likes and dislikes,
has a great tendency to shorten the visits
of bores.

Women in tine Lobby.
n. Y. Times.

In recent years, particularly during
the period Just after the wal, and up to
three or four years ago, the lobby per-
formed most important part in Wash
ington. Its manner of procedure, how
ever, is greatly misunderstood by most
people and thoroughly comprchended
by but few. For instance there is a
general impression in all parts of the
country women, beautiful accomplished
aud trained for the service have much
influence upon legislation. At least two
so-called American plays have been con-
structed upon this theory, aud many inn
pecunious scribblcrs have turned some
what doubtful penny by writing for
cheap periodicals howery and high
sounding descriptions of what they are
pleased to call the Queen of the Lobby
The fact is Il at in these latter days wo-
men have absolutely no general influence
in the direction indicated. To be sure,
there are isolated instances of women
who have used their influence
upon some members of Congress OF oili-
Ger of either House to secure the passage
of some insignificant measure in which
they might be interested, but there is
absolutely no regularly organized female
lobby in Washington, and for years past
it has not been customary to employ
women TO advocate or resist important
legislation. The latest notable instance
of such employment was in the case Of
DR.. Morton, who claimed to have dis
covered the anesthetic properties of
ether, and for that discovery asked Con
gress to give him reward of $4,000.
TO aid him IN pressing this demand, the
Doctor was ably seconded by his wife,
very beautiful woman, and by a num-
ber of charming ladies', who were not at
all chary in paying marked attention
and bestowing many soft caresses upon
the aged gentlemen who held prominent
positions in either House. Despite all
their Establishments, however, the Doc
tor never secured the money Tor which
he asked.

A Rothschild Autograph.

A sale of autographs at Frankfort-on-
the-Main recently brought to light let
ter from A. NJ. Rothschild, the celebrat-
ed founder OF the house of the same
name. The letter is addressed to a Hes
sian minister, and dated 1904. The CHR
ography has nothing remarkable in 1t,
but the sentiments expressed by the
great banker are worth quoting. They
are as follows, fully explaining them
selves: $50 his grand-ducal highness is
not preparing for the payment? 1t seems
that he believes that prince is not
obliged to be exact in paying up; if that
were so, confess that, although ! am
well satisfied in my humble position, /
should like to be prince for one single
day-the settlement day of the third
week of the fair (the banker alludes to
either the Leipzig or Frankfort fair OF
his time) IN order not to be obliged to
pay. But that is not the way that things
are arranged. / have to make my pay
ments exactly, even if it costs me every
thing that ! possess in the world. |
hope, therefore, that a prince will be
obliged to do the same. If prince en-
joyed such immense privileges no one
would be able to exist. i assure you
that the money preserves my honor,
and that my honor is my life. He who
does not pay me back my money takes
away my hono,.' History doubtless re-
cords the fact that the prince paid up
after this admonition, but the autograph
is dumb on the subject.

travel OF European waters, is regarded
as incontrovertible proof that they regu-
larly cross the Atlantic, and impinge
upon or assail the European coasts.
Since so much has been discovered,
the ban of ignorance removed that ex-
lsted in Scriptural times, and though the
wind bloweth were it listeth, we know
whence it cometh and whittier it goeth,
it would certainly seem that, with our
ample means of communication with all
parts of the globe, We are only within
one short step Of that knowledge which
would enable the mariner to avoid the
storm and keep his vessel where the
skies are comparatively fair and the wat
ers smOeth.

q ribaIdi and His Matrimonial Ventures

The civil marriage, which has Just
taken place at Caprcra, as announced by
cable dispatches, between General Carl
baldi and Donna Francesa. was doubt
less regarded by the old veteran himself
so far as he was concerned, as an entire
w superfluous ceremony. His relations
with Anita, the South American woman,
who bore him two sons and daughter,
and with Francesa, up to the time OF
this marriage, was not what tine world
calls legitimate, and there is no reason
to suppose that Garibaldi has of late
grown sensitive to public opinion The
purpose of the marriage Is to make his
two children by Francesa his legitimate
heirs, In order to secure for them the
inheritance of the sum voted to him 10y
the Italian Parliament a few years ago.
otherwise this money would have gone
to the child of his former wife, who was
his heir-in-law, but not his child in fact.
The old hero's curious matrimonial his
tory has been told so often that it can
hardly have been forgotten that he de-
serted the countess Immediately after
the marriage, on her conlessing that she
should soon become another. \ young
officer named Conirimi was the father
Jf the child afterward born to her. OF
Garibaldi's children born by Anti,
Menotti. the eldest, is in the Italian Par
lament; Ricciotti, who fought fer the
French in 1870, and is said to have cap
tured the only stand Of colors taken
from the Germans, Is in Australia, en-
gagged in sheep.raising; Terisiti is the
wife of Colonel Canzio, who was lately
arrested at Genoa for taking part in an
irrideatd demonstration, and was sent TO
prison for year. trancesa was tor

two children, who are now Garibaldi's
lawful heirs, are named AIanlio and

Fireless Locomotives Z.

For underground railroads and tram
ways through cities, the smoke from the
furnace of the ordinary locomotives is
very Objectionable, the old device of
freless locomotives offers obvious adj
vantages, and it is being at present re-
vivcd and tested on practical scale. A
fireless locomotive is one which depends
for its supply of steam upon store of
hot water carried in q suitable reservoir
and heated at the commencement of each
journey to the temperature which CORES
ponds to that of steam of pressure OF
two hundred pouHds on the square inch.
According to recent improvement of
NJ. Leon Francq, the water is not renew
ed in the reservoir Of the locomotive
before starting on each trip, but is simply
reheated by injecting steam at high pres
sure. NJ. francois locomotives have
been for some years at work on the tram
way from st. Augustin to Neuilly, at
Paris; but a more perfect engine Of its
kind has recently been introduced on
the railroad between Reuil and Marty
le-Roi. For this purpose there is fixed
boiler at the intermediate station of Port
Marty, and the engine is charged from
II every quarter of an hour by means of
a aeAible pipe. -Four engines can he
charged this way in an hour. The
weight of the train is nineteen tons, and
the distance from Rueil to Port Marly Is
nearly five miles, SO that the longest
journey performed by the engine with
ont reDleuis shmput is about ten miles

GRANDPA's CHAIR.

Place 1t by the shady window,
In the heated summer time,
Where the cooling breezes blow,
Where sweet-scented roses grow,
Where the honeysockles climb.
BY the window in the West
Place the big arm chair once more
That his weary limbs may rest,
And his latest hours be blest.
Fer his pilgrimage be DER.
Seat him in the old armchair;
We shall miss him nom his place;
Watch him with the tenderest care,
Smooth those frosted locks Of hair,
Meet him with smiling face.
Greet him kindly-soon shall we
Miss him from his chosen seat;
Empty will the old chair be,
Never more his face Wen see.
Never more on earth wen meet.
We shall miss him, but shall meet,
On that farther, brighter shore;
There in long communion sweet,
We will rest our weary feet,
Where the old grow old no more.

The Tatooed Princes.
London Truth.


Prince Edward and Prince George Of
Wales have been relieving the monotony
of their cruise in the Bacchante by q
strange freak. II seems that on Their
appearing one day a short time since on
the quarter deck of the vessel the cap.
tain noticed something peculiar about
their appearance, and on closer inspec-
ton discovered that both the Princes
had been tatooed on theside of the nose.
The tattoo marks, though plainly 10 he
seen, were small, not being the eighth OF
an inch in diameter, and are intended to
represent an anchor. Somewhat alarm
ed, and not little vexed at this discov-
cry, the captain questioned the young
Princes as to how the tatooing had been
done and who had done it. They, Ike
spirited and honorable boys, absolutely
declined to say more than that ii had
been done with their own consent and
1t then transpised that the youngsters OF
the vessel had all been similarly tatooed
for a memorial of their cruise in the
vessel, and in order as they said, thai
one Bacchante might know another
whenever and wherever he might here
after see him. The notion Is am anus
ing one; yet it is rather absurd to think
that we shall have a King of England
with an anchor tatooed on the side oi
his nose. There is no truth in the state
ment which has been made that the
Princess Of Wales has been in great dis-
tress of mind with regard to this little
incident On the contrary, the Princes
treats it as boyish freak, and on hear,
ing of it for the first time only expressed
her surprise that her sons had not them
selves written TO her anything about IL
Lord hapier of Magdala, who had nm
self seen the tattoo marks, was able 70
