A Liberal Editor.

M. Quad tells this little story We were grieved to read the other day of the death of one of Michigan's jolliest pioneer editors-almost tho last man of a band who published weeklies in the State when coon-skin would pay for column Cad" and three bushels of corn dumped on the office floor stood for q years subscription. Never publisher was more liberal with his space. It was hard work for him to charge for any thing except the tax list and mortgage sales, and he measured short even on them. One day in the years gone by his paper copied an attack on Q county official, and old Mark was dozing at his desk when the injured party stalked in and began
 "You are q coward, sir-an internal coward P
 "Mebbe I am," was the editors com- placent reply.
 "And can lick you, sir lick you out of your wrinkled old boots 1"
 1T guess you could," answered Mark, as he busted the wrapper off his only exchange.
 "I'm going to write an article calling you fool, liar, coward, cur, slanderel and body-snatcher, and go over to Ionis and pay five cents Q line to have it pub lished p
 "Hey ?" queried the old man as ht wheeled around.
 "Yes, I'll pay five cents line to have it published p
 "Say, let me tell you something, replied Mark. "I've got two hundred more circulation than the Banner, ant I'll publish your attack on mo for tw, cents line and take it out in mill l-feet or corn stalks. Don't trot over to Toni, when you can help build up your owi town"
 Mark would have published it wor, for word, just as he said, and thrown il Q cut of horse or Q stump-puller ire, gratis, but the off cial cooled off.

Hunting for Submarine Treasure.

A schooner, owned by Q Connecticut Submarine Company" is being used in exploring a sunken wreck off Round Island, near Peekskill, on the Hudson. The wreck has been there marry years, and is reputed to have been the ship of the famous pirate Captain Kidd. A visitor found among the appliances of the schoonera great variety of machines, chains, pumps, rubber tubes, and other contrivances, for bringing treasure out of deep water. Chief among these was a large diving bell, of boiler iron, with little round windows on every side, so that the man inside can sec out in every direction-up, down and across It is kept in a we'll in the hold, and when it is to be used, bolts at the top are un- fastened, the man climbs in, and the bolts are again fastened, the top being put on so tight that the affair is both air and water proof. The sensation of being bolted into this narrow iron prison for the first time is said to Do terrible, though the experienced divers do not mind 1t. There are two rubber tubes attached to the top, one to carry off the exhausted air, the other to supply fresh air. When the man is fastened in, the air pump is started, and tho bell is hoisted out with an immense derrick and lowered over the side. This bell can operate in 300 feet of water, and is, of course, raised or lowered by steam. When all is ready it is lowered to the bottom. The man inside looks through his windows, and determines what must be done first. He has wires to pull to signal the men above. He can tell them to hoist, lower. give him more or less air, or any other signals that may have been agreed upon. Attached to theside of the diving bell, and operated by steam from above, is what is called "the arm"-a heavy attachment, provided with so many joints and swivels that it is capable of making all the many mo- tions of the human arm, with much greater strength than any human arm ever had. This arm has hand, with fingers, that hold a saw, an axe, crow bar, or an y instrument desired. If the man ill the bell desires to saw, he is drawn up, saw is put in the steam hand, and he goes back and begins work. When he wants an axe or hammer he is drawn up again, and the tool is changed. The iron bell is almost human in its capacity for work, and, with the brains of man inside, it is valuable laborer. When the work is in very deep or dark water, or at night, on electric light is attached to the bell, and the bottom for many yards around is made as bright as if the sun shone upon it. The effect upon the surface of the water of this bright light underneath is said to be dazzling and beautiful, and some of the Rip Van Winkleites who live up yonder on the hills may we'll begin to wonder when they sec the bottom of the Hudson bright with electric light and steam-man digging for pirates treasures

A FEW slices of potatoes put in the lard while frying doughnuts will keep them from burning. IN WASHING silk handkerchiefs wash in water in which the best white castillo soap has been lathered. Then snap be- tween the fingers until nearly dry, fold and press under q weight. Never iron. Z1Ncs may be secured with great econ- omy of time and strength by using either glycerine or creosote mixed with little diluted sulphuric acid.

Harrisburg Correspondence New York sun.
My connection with the Republican
committee of this state warrants me in
stating that no other private citizen in the
state of Pennsylvania has contributed
more literally to the campaign fund of
the state committee than the Hon. Jacob
.Bomberger of this city. The banker and
broker has an acquaintance with almost
all the business men and farmers in Dau-
phin county-the home of General and
also of Senator Don Cameron; therefore
what Mr.. Bomberger says respecting the
political sentiment of these people is
trustworthy. He says g: "If Grant is
nominated for president l know of one
thousand German Republicans in this
county alone who will vote for his Oppon-
ent, because of their belief that Grant S
election to third term of the prcsi-
dency is the first step toward an American
monarchy"
Mr.. Bombergcr further stated that any
Republican, in his OpiniOn-Blaine. Sher-
man, Conkling or Washburn-cOuld carry
Pennsylvania by 30, 900 majority, but that
if Gen. Grant is the candidate he would
lose the state by more than 50,OOO votes.
That this is strong evidence. from an
authoritative source, against the danger of
a third term for Grant will be confessed
by every Republican or Democrat in the
commonwealth of Don Cameron -
who knows Mr.. BOmberger.
