The Clement Attachment.

The Clement Attachment.
In the Charleston Ners and Courier of the
2Gth, is good cut showing in detail oil the parts
and working Of the now famous "Clement At

will give any one better idea of this ma
chine than a description in words possibly
could. With the illust ration, the enterprising
managers of that paper publishes four columns

is from Mr. ii. w. Grady, who, with number
of prominent citizens of Georgia, visited the
Westminster Mill, in Oconce County:

describing to the visitors every part of the ma

plicity required explanation. After every pos

into the gin came out in the most regular and fee

had the besfopportunity of examining its work.

My Son, Post Yourself.

Lowell (Alich.) journal.
My son, you may not be able to lay up treas.
ures in heaven by reading Democratic papers
just now, but you should seek knowledge
wherever it may be found. You have heard
how all the prominent Republican statesmen
became corrupt and how the great Democratic
statesmen became heavenly saints, but there is
much more you should know before you get
any older. Did you kLow that Gen Garfield
tried to scuttle Noah's ark the time of the ex-
cursion to Mount Ararat? Have you seen the
Grand Rapids Democrat lately? Did you
know that Gen. Chester A. Arthur of New
York was the man that met Christopher Co.
lumbus at the dock in 1892 and tried his best
to prevent America from being discovered?
Do you remember how Chris told Arthur to go
west, and how the Democrats saved the coun-
try in 1861? Did you know that George Wash
ington would never have been mixed up in
that Credit Mobilier business had it not been
ior Gen. Garheld's influence in Congress?
Have you lived until now without knowing,
that Gen. Arthur was stolen from his mother
when child and Benedict Arnold was put in
his place and that the man you are asked to
vote for for Vice President this Fall was
hanged years ago? My son, do you read the
democratic papers? Don't you know that they
represent the great party that stood by the old
nag from 1861 to 1865 and saved the country
with the aid of a few scattering Republicans?
Have you been brought up in weli-regulated
family to years of discretion and side whiskers
and not learned that the only way to save this
counIry-to preserve and perpetuate this glori-
GUS Union-is 10 hand the reins Of government
over to the Democratic party? What did the
Republicans ever do for our country, anyway?
My son, post yourself.

An Excuse for Perverse Locks.

A Michigan physician has written book
upon the human hair, in which he presents
these views: "Hairs do not, as a rule, pene-
trate the scalp perpendicularly but at an
angle. When the angle Of the different hairs
is the same, it is possible to give the covering
OF the head to the easy sweeps and curves
which we generally see it take but if they are
by some freak of nature misplaced, we have
the rebellious frizzlo tops that are not suscep-
tible to the influence of the brush and comb
Many poor mother has half worried her life
out trying to train her Johnny's rebellious
locks into better ways, believing it was john
ny's perverseness of manners that induced
such dilapidated looking head gear, when it
was really none of Johnny's fault at all, but
simply freak of nature in misplacing the ra-
dating centres of his hirsute covering. Some
times fowls suffer from contrariwise placing
OF the feathers-they run the wrong way.
The authors father had a hen whose feathers
ran up toward the body, and those on the body
and neck toward the head. This gave her
perpetual out-of-sorts look, and she could never
fly. The erection of the hair of animals dur
ing anger, or of human beings in fright, is
caused by change in the skin and the angle
at which the hair enters the body or head"

BiSnarck'S Dog.

A London correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times tells the following story about Bis
marck's famous dog: "The other day two
delegates from Altoona, charged with present.
ing petition, were received by Bismarck.
The Chancellor sat in his rocking chair, the
Realm Dog stretched on the carpet, while
the delegates took their seats facing his High
ness. One OF the delegates had roll of paper
in his right hand, and being an energetic
speaker accustomed to emphasize his argu-
ments by gesticulation, he waved his scroll
about while addressing Bismarck, disregardful
of the fact that his movements elected several
successive disapproving utterances from the
watchful hound; whereupon Bismarck hastily
interrupting his interlocutor's remarks, ex-
claimed: DO put down that scroll, beg of
you My dog, like myself, entertains pro
found aversion to every kind of paper. He be-
lieves 1t to be weapon 1t is needless to add

THE Philadelphia Press likes neither I'll

THE Philadelphia Press likes neither Til
den nor his letter, and says of both: Mr..
Tilden's letter Of withdrawal is at once a
glorification Of his own career and falsif-
cation of history-.the egotistic outburst Of
a vain old man thwarted in the last great
leap of his ambition and the envenomed
stab of baffled conspirator. 1t is not true
that the greater part of Samuel j. Tilden's
life has been spent as private citizen. 1t
has been spent in the dark and devious ways
of New York politics, in CLOSING over, with
the legal trickery and political cunning of
which he is a master, the bolder, but the no
worse methods of other men. Samuel j.
Tilden will never again figure in the annals
of this country as reformer. He only
turned on Tammany because it was politi-
cal and party advantage to do so, and it is
the sublimity of impudent effrontery for a
man who has been charged in his own par
ty with having bought his nomination fer
the Presidency, to allege that he was called
to it because the nation desired him to
transferso Washington the processes he had
practiced ~. forty years at Albany and in
New York.

The Arrest of Jurkowski,

A lieutenant of the Imperial Guard Artil-
lery recently confessed to stern Russian
father that he knew something about revolu
tionary plot. The news so exasperated the old
gentleman that he blew out his sons brains on
the spot, and discharged second barrel of his
revolver in his own breast, inficting upon
himself a mortal wound. Upon entering the
house the gendarmes found father and son
lying side by side, the former dead and the lat
ter dying. All the members OF the household
were taken into custody, and among them was
discovered the notorious socialist Jurkowski
whom the Russian police had long sought for
in vain. He had arrived at the house with
the lieutenant under false name, and had re-
manned there several days as guest when the
catastrophe led to his detection and arrest.

We have said enough to show that the
American Union is still in its infancy, and
