The other day six men sat around a
stove in a Detroit tobacco store. There
had been long period of silence when
one of them rubbed his leg and remark
ed:
"That old wound feels as if it was
going to open again. l shall always
remember the battle of Rich Mountain"
There was slight stir around the
stove and second man put his hand to
his shoulder and observed:
81 shall not soon forget Brandy Sta
tion. Feels to day as if the lead was
going to work out
The interest was now considerably IN
creased, and the third man knocked the
ashes off his cigar and said.
"Yes, those were two hard fights, but
you ought to have been with Nelson at
Franklin. But wasn't | excited that
day When these two fingers went with
grape-shot never felt the pain II
The fourth man growled out some
thing about Second Bull Run and a
saber cut on the head, and the fifth
man felt of his left side and said he
should always remember the lay Of the
ground at the Yellow Tavern. The
sixth man was silent The other five
looked at him and waited for him to
speak, but it was a long time before he
pointed to his empty sleeve and asked:
"Gentlemen, do you know where l
got that? ?"
Some mentioned one battle and some
another, but he shook his head sadly
and continued
Boys, let me be honest and own
right up. l lost my arm by buzz-saw
and now we will begin on the left and
give every one chance to clear his con-
science.
Now then, show your wounds.
The five men leaued back in their
chairs and smoked fast and chewed
hard and looked at each other, and each
one wished he was in Texas when a
runaway horse few by and gave them a
chance to rush out and get clear of the
one-armed man. 1t was a narrower es-
cape than any one of them had during
the war.

CEMENT FOR RUBBER. = Powdered
shellac is softened in ten times its weight
of strong water of ammonia, whereby a
transparent mass is obtained, which be-
comes fluid after keeping some little
time without the use of hot water. In
three or four weeks the mixture is per-
fectly liquid and it will be found to
soften the rubber. As soon as the am
monia evaporates. the rubber hardens
again-it is said quite 6rmly-and thus
becomes impervious both to gases and to
liquids. For cementiug sheet rubber,
or rubber material in any shape. to met
al, glass. and other smooth surfaces the
cement is highly recommended.

A 1eshy girl-Addie Pose.

A pugnacious girl-Hitty Magin.
A girl to be avoided-Black Maria.
A city woman recently sent letter to
a friend living in Franklin farming town
asking the number of eggs hen would
lay in day. She knew, she said, that
they would lay dozen or more, but she
wished to know the exact number, as
eggs were so high, and she thought con-
siderable money might be made by keep
ing a hen.
A few days ago youthful Zulu of about
twelve summers, named Pea-Blossom,

An advertising agent for one of the
great circus combinations has been in

he sat down long enough to answer a
few questions. The interview started
off as follows:

A MARVELLOUS FEAT.

The publication of the details Of the
battle at Spitzkob between the Beers
and the English was one of the most
marvellous feats of newspaper and tele-
graph enterprise ever known. The Lon
don Standard sent Mr.. Cameron, the
hardy, resolute, fearless African explor-
sr, with the British advance to report
its operations. He accompanied it in
its difficult march to the summit of the
fatal height. When the Beers made
that gallant charge in the face of the
English bayonets, about which they brag
so much, and poured over into the basin
from which they drove the English like
sheep, Mr.. Cameron was knocked down.
run over, trampled upon, and captured.
He showed his newspaper credential
and notebook, and, having established
his professional identity, was requested
to act as flag of truce bearer to enable
the English to take care of their wound
ed. He reached the British camp that
night and wrote his dispatch of $500
words. That dispatch was put upon the
army field wires and reached the coast.
Hence it travelled up the east coast of
Africa, over 5000 miles, and tapped
the East India wires in the Gulf of
Alden; thence on the bottom of the Red
Sea, another 1000 or 5000 miles, to
the Mediterranean thence on the bot
tom of the Mediterranean to Italy
thence through Italy and over the Alps
and through France and across the Brit
ish Channel to London. Not stopping
there, it goes to Valentia, on the west
coast of Ireland, and speeds across the
Atlantic to Newfoundland, thence to
New York, and from New York across
the continent to San Francisco. and on
the following morning it IS printed in
every daily newspaper in the civilized
world-a thousand of them in this
country.

PRINCIPLES OF NIHILISM.

The principles of the philosophy of
negation, In other words the principles
of Nihilism, may be gathered from the
following extracts from an elaborate
speech delivered to the Congress of the
International at Berne, in 1868, by
Michael Bakunin, scion of noble
and wealthy Russian family, and who
was one of the most prominent of Mill
ist philosophers: This gospel admits
of no half measures and hesitations.
The old world must be destroyed and
replaced by new one. The lie must
be stamped out and give way to truth.
1t is our mission to destroy the lie. and
to effect this we must begin at the very
commencement. Now the beginning of
all those lies which have ground down
this poor world in slavery is God. Tear
out of your hearts the belief in the ex-
istence of God, for as long as an atom
of that silly superstition remains in your
minds you will never know what free
dom is. When you have got rid of the
belief in this priest begotten God, and
when. moreover you are convinced that
your existence and that of the surround
| ing world is due to the conglomeration
of atoms in accordance with the laws of
gravity and attraction, then and then
only you will have accomplished the
first step toward liberty and you will
experience less difficulty in ridding your
minds of that second lie which tyranny
has invented. The first lie is God, the
second lie is right Might invented the
fiction of right in order to insure and
strengthen her reign. Might, my friends,
forms the sole groundwork of society.
| Might makes and unmakes laws, and
that might should be in the hands of
the majority. Once penetrated with
clear conviction of your own might, you
will be able to destroy this mere notion
of right. And when you have freed
your minds from the fear of a God and
from that childish respect for the fiction
of right, then all the remaining chains
which bind you and which are called
science. civilization, property, marriage,
morality and justice, will snap asunder
like threads. Let your own happiness
be your only law. But in order to get
this law recognized and to bring about
the proper relations which should exist
between the majority and minority of
mankind, you must destroy everything
which exists in the shape of State or
social organizations. Our first work
must be destruction and annihilation of
everything as it now exists. You must
accustom yourselves to destroy every
thing-the good with the bad. For if
an atom of this old world remains the
new will never be created. Take heed
that no ark be allowed to rescue any
atom of this old world, which we conse-
crate to destruction" Michael Bakunin.
exiled from Russia, and unsuccessful in
Germany and Switzerland, died in 1878.
His teachings, however, became the
Nihilist gospel of faith, were incorporat-
ed into their catechism of revolution,
and the practice of them has led to the
assassination of the Emperor.

The american architect predicts that,
if the destruction of timber around the
great lakes goes on as it has for the
past 10 years, 1890 will see an advance
in the price of timber of 100 per cent
and consequent rise in rents of 90 per
cent. Dearer timber is probably close
at hand, although the supplies in Wash
iugton territory may prevent this; but
it is great mistake to suppose that
rents will advance in even half the pro-
portion that timber will. Year by year
an equal space of house room takes pro-
portionally less timber, partly because
less is used in frame houses, and in
part because more houses are built of
brick and stone and iron. The ex-
perience of Great Britain shows how
little rents are dependent on timber
The real factor in house rent is room,
not material Crowding population
into cities raises rent, unless the avail
able space for houses is increased, and
the living radius of city was never
larger than to-day.

MEssRs. c. /. HOOD & Co., Lowell, Mass:
Gentlemen : For ten years previous to the
early part of 1877 had been a constant suf-
ferer from scrofulous ulcers or sores, which
had finally reduced me to a helpless condi-
ton, as described in my letter to you in Sep
tember of that year. The continued excel
lent health which enables me to keep house
for my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps
alive my intense personal interestln HOOPS
,and cannot refrain from ex-
pressing my gratitude for the permanent
cure this wonderful medicine effected in my
case nearly two years ago, while living in
Lowell, when all my physicians gave me up
as being in an incurable condition. One
thing before close. l have recommended
your Sarsaparilla to hundreds, and 1 think
more than thousand cases, and my faith in
its invincibility in curing ScrOfula has be-
come absolute by the wonderful cures it has
effected aside from my own. l trust you
will not be slow in making the merits of
HOOPS SARSAPARILLA known everywhere,
for it is duty you owe to mankind. With
best wishes remain very truly yours,
