A long aud much needed want is
about to be furnished this city in the
erection of an establishment for the pur-
pose of manufacturing all kinds of build
ing materials, such as sash, doors,
blinds. mouldings, brackets, all kinds OF
turning and scroll work, and stair work
of any style or description, in short, any
and everything that woodworking ma
chiuery can do, will be done here as in
similar establishments further east
The company for carrying forward
this enterprise is composed of Topeka
men, who have long felt the necessity of
something of this Kind in Topeka. The
work will commence mt once, and will
be pushed forward as rapidly as the
weather will permit. The machinery
has already been contracted for and will
be here by the time the building is ready
for its reception. The company hopes TO
be ready to turn out work early in
March, with favorable weather, etc.
This is u worthy enterprise, and should
be encouraged by our contractors and
builders, and lumber dealers generally.
Commonwealth.
We clip the above To call the attention
of the property owners of Emporia to
the fact that similar enterprises must be
undertaken here this season, if the water
works are to pay their way and if the
growth of our city is to continue, and its
prosperity to become permanent. Mere
money loanlng will not avail for per-
mauent business. The establishment OF
water works will either be followed by
prompt and energetic efforts by home
capitalists, to establish manufactures, oil
the growth of our city will stop, and
taxes become a burden that will press
heaviest of all upon those who own the
most property. The only way to secure
our prosperity is to establish manufac
tories, and this coming season, while we
have the only water works in the state
is TO be the opportune moment for sucl
enterprises. If the opportunity is neg
lected, and temporary gains only sough
after by our monied men, they will in
few years realize that slowness Is not al

DIR. W. w. Hibben, our worthy coro-
ner, has Just been presented with a quaint
papicr mache snuff box. Colonel Whit
ley, the donor, gives us the following
points in the interesting history OF the
old relic:
This old French snuff box, with the pic
ture Of Marquis de Lafayette on its cover,
was presented to George Washington at
Philadelphia, in the month of August,
UT, by Marquis de Lafayette in person,
who was then but nineteen years of age
II was on the occasion of the first meet
ing of the enthusiastic and generous
hearted Frenchman with the father of our
country. Lafayette had just reached our

ed his services and fortune to our strug-
Cling country during the darkest hours OF
its existence. Washington was charmed
with the youthful Marquis, and at once
invited him to his headquarters, where
out OF HFnlttuuC duu uSfStAOAAs eAAS } SN--s-
patriot furnished the general with snuti
in sufficient quantities to replenish the
box whenever necessity required it. And
il is said that Washington displayed the
elegantly inlaid box with great pride
and satisfaction ON all occasions. A
the death of Washington the box wa
given TO Gen Israel Putnam, for saf'
keeping, by whom it was preserved will
great care. Before his death he caused
it to be enclosed in the chimney piece o
his residence, on Inman street. Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,. Nearly hun
dred years afterwards the old house wa
! demolished by laborers and the DO
found and purchased by the donor for
trifiIng sum OF money. The fact of tn
discovery of this remarkable box havin
( been made known 20 the Massachnseti

ed to procure it. He finding, howeye
that the relic could not be had for SUI

the best remedy for sleeplessness is TO
wet half towel, apply it to the back of

ofthe brain, and fasten the dry half of
the towel over, so as to prevent too rapid
exhalation. The effect is prompt and
pleasant, cooling the brain and bringing
on sweet slumber. Warm water is bet
