An Invention Destined to supersede
Rowing,

An Auburn inventor has patented a
device for propelling boats which prom
i,es TO entirely revolulionize the pres
cnt lab1rious method Of rowing, and
which will be hailed with delight by
the young man who has TO take his
best girl and his portly prospective
mother-in-law out rowing several even
ings in each week. Those who do not
row can dilate upon the scenery of the
outlet and the beauties OF 'life on
the ocean wave rs much rs they please,
but the fa,igued aud perSpiring young
man mentally says he would prefer
saving a cord of wood to rowing many
miles farther
The new mechanical movement of
which we wish to speak in this article
will agreeably diminish, il not entirely
obviate, nearly all the sorrows of the
amateur oarsman. The inventor is
Mr. Henry n. Stats, Of this city, and
the design OF his appliance is to render
practicable the use OF q Screw-pro-
pcller upon small boats The invention
can be applied to any row boat, and
consists simply of propeller-Shaft
when projects through the stern Of the
boat aud has secured to its end screw
propeller, which, by the rotation of the
shaft by hand power applied to a
double crank, causes the boat to move
forward with greater or less speed, gov
erned by the rapidity of the revolu-
tons
The work is not nearly so tiresome
as rowing, and with the same amount
of power expended the speed attained
is far greater. The advantages of the
propeller are numerous and must be
conceded. One is that the person faces
the direction he is going instead OF rid
inc backward as in rowing, and can
c!ocr the craft himself by means OF STIR
rlps attached to II gear also invented
by Mr. Stats. In duck.hunting you
can noisolessly approach the feeding
ground and see where you are going.
In trawing this method is also far su.
perior to laborious rowing.
Two, or even more persons can work
at the handles and by simple change
of pin the handles can BIO worked In
either direction, which is often great
relief to the muscles. The appliance is
certainly ingenious and eminently prac-
ticablc. We have witnessed its opera
ton, and everybody who has rowed q
boat "for pleasure" will DO charmed
with IL. The cost of the apparatus is
but S25, and we can unhcstatingly say,
that upon trial we do not believe the
owner of boat would BIO willing to
have IL taken out and return to the old
method for quadruple the first cost.
We think Mr.. Staatz has bonanza IN
his invention. Auburn (N ~ I'D

How Peanuts are Cleaned and Prepared
for the Market,


Peanuts to be prepared for the mar
ket are placed in large cylinder,
from which they enter the brushes,
where every nut receives fifteen feet OF
n brushing before it becomes free.
Then they are dropped on an endless
belt, passing along at the rate of four
miles an hour On each side Of the belt
stand girls, and, as the nuts fall on the
belt, the girls, with quick motion of
the hand, pick out all the poor-looking
nuts, allowing only the best TO pass the
crucible. Those that do pass drop into
bags on the floor below. When the
bag is filled it is sewed up and branded
as cocks" with the figure OF roost-
er prominent on its sides The peas
caught by the girls are thrown to one
side again, picked over and the best
singled out. bagged and branded as
'ships." These are as fine nut as
the first for eating, but in shape and
color DO not compare with the cocks "
The third grade is branded as eagles"
These are picked out of the cuttings
OF cocks and ships" The cuttings
that are left from the eagles are
baggedr sent to the top story, and what
little meat is in them is shaken out by
apatent shelter The nuts being shelled
by this process, the meat drops in bags
below, free from dirt or dust Of any
kind, and is then shipped in 200-pound
sacks TO the North. where it is bought
by the confectioners for the purpose of
making taily or peanut candy. 1t may
be here stated that peculiar kind of
oil is extracted from the meat Of the
/ nut, andin this specially large trade
is done among the wholesale druggists.
There is nothing wasted, for even
shells are made useful They are pack
ed in sacks and sold to stable keepers
for horsc-bedding, and very healthy
bed they make.

The Dynamite Piano,

Several musical compostors have
turned attention of late to Eastern trag-
edies The Musical He,dld gives u
short musical story in ridicue of the
new syle. After representing rival
lovers in the usual way, the story con-
cludes:
"liaW Interrupted the tenor, "he al
ways plays the same thing, aud always
without notes. doubt he can play
anything at sight
IL can play any composition at sight,
even with one eye closed" responded
the proud pianist.
1T is WE'LL" sneered the tenor. II

several movements. You will observe
that it begins pppp and continues very
softly until this chord Ca diminished

tihf Do you think you can give the
sudden climax?'
II have force enough for two more f S
If you wish them," calmly replied the
pianist, as he sat down before the in
strument. He began very softly, so
softly that one might have heard pin
drop. Minka sat beside him in ecstacy,
although a very little of the sound was
audible. The fatal diminished seven
teenth chord approached. 1t came.
Swooping his arms wildly in the air,
he let them crash upon the piano
bang"
The fragments of the two lovers
spread over three counties. The tenor
who had fled, had smeared dynamite
upon the keys, aud achieved his re-
venge. He was never heard of any
more. BY order of the benevolent Car
the remains were carefully swept up
but as they could not be assorted will

grave, where they still remain, a fear

An Alleged interview.

New York Times.l
The story is often told about Rich
mond, Of an interview said to have
occurred just after Lees surrender.
between Secretary Stanton and Ma
jor Drewry, commander of Drewry's
Bluff at the time of the attack upon
1t by the Union feet IN May. 1862.
The major, who had been a dry goods
merchant in Richmond before the
war, and also is a common sense man
Of the world, knowing hat all further
resistance was vain, went at once to
Washington to see the secretary of
war.
Very doubtful whether Stanton.
always stern and unusually overbear-
ing, would see him, if he knew his
name and mission, he went into the
secretary's office unpnnounced. In
his presence the ex-rebel, without any
preamble, said: Mr.. Secretary, am
Major B. II. Drewry, of Richmond: /
have fought against the Federals as
well as | could for four years. But
now the war is over and | want to 20
to work again. | have hundreds Of
acres of wheat land on the James,
they have been sadly neglected ali
this time, and they ! need nv
Immediate attention. We've been
whipped, and I've got sense
enough to know it. Now that peace
has come, | want my PARDON '"On
what g%rounds2" inquired Stanton Sc
verely. First on the grounds Of
having had fighting enough; secondly,
because | have helped to improve
your navy by showing you how poor
wooden ships are in action. After [
had driven off the Galena, Aroostook,
and the other vessels. and began to
build iron boats, and made your navy
what it ought to have been in the
start. You owe me a pardon for the
valuable information | furnished to
your cause"
Stanton relaxed as the major went
on, and finally, pleased with his can
dor and bOldness, invited him to call
the next day at a certain hour.
Drewry was prompt. The two had a
long talk the secretary gaining much
needed information about the south,
its conditions and prospects, andhand-
ed the Virginian his pardon. The
major kept his word. He went to
work Immediately, and has continued
to work ever since without troubling
himself about politics or political
theories.
