A Ladies' Bonnet with a Blush-P roduc-
ing Attachment.

The London Telegraph has the follow
ing: It is not every maiden, in these
prosaic days who can summon the tell
tale blood" to her cheeks at will, or silently
reveal, by an opportune roseate flush, those
inward feelings to which many young ladies
experience such difficulty in giving verbal
expression. But as the value of the blush,
as highly effective weapon in the feminine
armory, is still universally recognized by
the sex, although it would appear to have
fallen into desuetude. French ingenuity
has been at the pains of devising a fine
mechanical appliance for the instantaneous
production of fine natural show upon
upon the cheek of beauty, no matter how
constitutionally Emphatic or philosophicaay
Unconditional its proprietoress may be.
This thoughtful contrivan ce is called "The
Ladies' Blushing Bonnet" to the side
ribbons of which-those usually
tied under the fair wearers
chin-are attached two tiny but powerful
steel springs, ending in round pads, which
are brought to bear upon the temporal ar
teries by the action of bowling the head,
one exquisitely appropriate to modest en-
barrassment, and by artifcially forcing
blood into the cheeks cause them to be
suffused with the crimson hue Of shame"
at a moments notice. Should these in
genious head coverings become the fash
ion among girls of the period, it will be-
hooye young men about to marry" to take
a sly peep behind the bonnet strings Of
their blushing charmers Immediately after
proposing, in order to satisfy themselves
that the heightened color, by them inter-
preted as an involuntary admission of re-
ciprocated affection. is not due to the
agency of carefully adjusted ablushing
bonnet.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
of His Character to An ENGLISH
= "A y

Presentation of His Character to An ENGLISH
Audience.
The Hon. Isaac n. Arnold, of Chicago,
has been attempting to enlighten the En-
glish about the character of Abraham Lin
coin, delivering All address on the Martyr
President before the Royal Historical
society of London. His introduction was
piece of good work in presenting the
character Of Lincoln to British audience.
He said:
When Thomas Lincoln. the father of
the president, was six years old, his father
abraham, the grand father of the president
was shot and instantly killed by an Indian.
The boy and his father were at work
in the corn field near their log cabin home.
Mordecai, the elder brother Of the lad, at
work not far away, witnessed the attack.
He saw his father fall, and ran to the cabin,
seized his ready-loaded rifle and springing
to the loop hole cut through the logs, he
carrying him away. Raising his rifle and
aiming at a silver medal, conspicuous on
the breast of the Indian, and instantly fred.
The Indian fell, he the lad, springing
to his feet, ran to the open arms
of his mother at the cabin door. Amid
such scenes, the Lincoln family naturally
produced rude, rough, hardy and fearless
men. familiar with wood-craft; men who
could meet the extremes of exposure and
fatigue, who knew how to find food and
shelter in the forest; men of great powers
of endurance-brave and self reliant, true
and faithful to their friends and dangerous
to their enemies; men with minds to con-
ceive and hands to execute bold enter
prises.
1T is curious fact that the grandfather,
Abraham Lincoln, is noted on the surveys
of Daniel Boone as having purchased Of
the government, 500 ac1es of land. Thorn
as Lincoln, the father, was also the pur-
chaser of government land, and President
Lincoln left, as part of his estate, quar-
ter section 160 acres) which he had re-.
ceived from the United States for services
rendered in early life as volunteer soldier
in the Black Hawk Indian war; Thus for
three generations the Lincoln family were
land owners directly from the government
He grew up to be man Of majestic stature
and Herculean strength. Hadhe appeared
in England or Normandy, some centuries
ago, he would have been the founder of
some great baronial family, possibly of q
dynasty. He could have welded, with ease,
the tn O. handed sword Of Guy, the great
Earl of Warwick, or the battle-ax of Rich
ard, of the Lion Heart.

LATE INVENTIONS,

Some Of the Things Recently Brought to
Light.
From the Philadelphia News
A California man is said to have discov-
cred process for drying and pressing
potatoes by which they can be preserved
for years without any loss of flavor or nu-
tritive qualities.
A German machinist has invented a
process for cleaning oil which has been
used for lubricating machinery, by which
he claims saving of SO per cent. in the
consumption of the material is obtained.
A firm of stove manufacturers in Albany
have recently brought out new lining
tor stoves, intended particularly for those
in which soft coal is burned. It is claimed
that clinkers will not form in the stove
in which the lining is used.
A new material for architectural purposes,
said to be entirely fire-proof, is made from
cotton. After being converted into paste
by chemical treatment, it is moulded into
the desired form and allowed to dry, when
it becomes as hard as stone. It is called
architectural cotton.
A French electrician has devised a form
Of electric lamp by which intermittent lum-
nous signals can be produced. A cam mo-
WILL 10 uoou, ny WuuCu tu0 CdTDOQS are sep.
arated at each revolution, and can be oper-
ted by clock work for regular signals or by
hand alta variable rate for the irregular
ones.
A machine has been recently patented
designed for threading bolts and tapping
nuts, and so constructed that when one tap
or die is forced forward to do it's work an
other die or tap will be withdrawn. The
machine thus works continuously, and no
time is lost in withdrawing the die or tap.
A New York manis said to have discov-
cred process for the manufacture of sui
phate of quinine from coal tar Owing to
the fact that but little has been done to-
ward the cultivation of the chincona, a sub
stitute for Peruvian bark, from which the
drug has heretofore been made, it has been
sought after for years. The trade in the
article is a heavy one, and if the new pro-
cess should prove to be as successful as it
is anticipated by the inventor, it will cause
a revolution in the trade.

Ex-senator Conkling's Campaign.

Ex-senator Conkling's Campaign.
On Saturday 18th, two more ballots were
taken without material change. Wm.A Wheel
or is in Albany, and believes that Depew and
Cornell or Rogers will be elected, and before
long. Others think Wheeler may take the
prize
I On Monday, Goth, there was no material
change in the vote for Conkling's successor.
On the Platt ballot Depew had 81 to II for
Pl tt. After the first Platt ballot Senator Bra
man moved to adjourn. On this the ayes and
nays were called: The Conkling men aid
Gratis, the motion was carried, So to 81. A
hasty canvass between the Platt ballot and the
announcement of the vote on adjournment
showed that if another ballot had been taken,
five votes would have been gained for Depew,
and a third ballot would have probably elected
him. But the prospect now is for an immedi
ate adjournment, RELOCATING the whole business
to the people.
On Tuesday, 21st there were two ballots for
each vacancy. but without material change of
figures. There is much talk of adjournment,
but nothing is definite
On Tuesday, 18th, there was another ballot
ing for each vacancy, both standing about the
same as before, with no indications of q seri-
GUS break in any direction. In the investigat-
bribed, finished his story, and Lessons, the
alleged briber, while admitting that he had de-
voted good share of his career as statesman

apparently because he didn't think it necessary.
Bradley, he says, comprehended the value of
his vote 80 little that he was ready to give it
away, and voluntarily to vote for Depew.
On Wednesday, 22d, Mr.. Jacobs, the dem
ocratic candidate for the Conkling vacancy,
withdrew his name and Clarhson N. Potter was
substituted. Four ballots we're taken without
change. In the stalwart caucus Mr.. Conkling
made vigorous speech, denouncing corrup-
ton and railroad monopolies.
On Thursday, June 23rd, two more ballots
were taken with the usual unsatisfactory re-
suits, but some excitement was caused by vi
olent alteration and threatened knock
down between Mr.: Conkling and Senator Mad
den, Of Orange county. A crowd Iathered and
the two were separated. The bribery investi-
cation was concluded and the report will be
made in day or two.

The public meeting which called into ex-

on the 18th day of this month, Mr.. T. E.
Collins thairman and Jas. III. Arnoux, Secre-
tary. At that meeting all classes of citizens
were present and all interests represented.
The two oldest mercantile houses in Benton
however, did moi have a representative there
to give expression to their views or contribute
to the enterprise in hand. The fact was noticed

and cooperation in the important work.

usual, SO occupied in his Office that he had no
time to give to such work. a committee was

mercantile houses in Benton, and supposed
| to be fully alive to the interests Of the town
and anxious to work for an enterprise that will
furnish so much for our immediate benefit
Mr.. Todd being the only one Of the commit
tee present, explained to the meeting that he
would accept the responsibility Of acting on
that committee only on one condition, that
he would have the hearty assistance of the
other two gentlemen. Knowing the many
pressing business engagements Of those gen
tlemen he feared they would not have time to
devote to the work. Eighteen days have
elapsed since then.
Mr.. Todd has repeatedly called at the office
Of both Mr.. Hill and MFR. Conrad, announc-
ing his readiness to proceed with the work at
any time agreeable to them. That time has
apparently not arrived, since the gentlemen
have not yet put in an appearance signifying
their intention to move in the laudable work.
MI. Todd desires to let the citizens OF Meagher
