How Screws Are Made,

The process of making a screw is
very interesting. The rough, large wire
In big coils is. by drawing through a
hole smaller than itself, made the size
needed. Then it goes into machine
that at one movement cuts it proper
length and makes head on it. Then
it is put into sawdust and ''rattlod''
and thus frightened. Then the head
Is shaved down smoothly to the proper
size and the nick put in at the same
time. After "rattling" again in sawdust
the thread is cut by another machine,
and after another "rattling" and thor
ough drying the screws are assorted by
hand (the fingers Of those who do this
move almost literally like lightning),
crossed by weight and packed for ship
ping. That which renders it possible
for machines to do all this is a little
thing that resembles and opens and
shuts like o goose's bill, which picks
up single screw at time and carries
it where needed, holds it until grasped
by something else, and returns for an.
other. This is about the most wonder.
full piece OF automatic skill and useful
ness have ever seen, and it has done
its distinctive work at the rate of thirty
one screws minute, although this rate
is only experimental as yet. Ninety
three gross per day, however, has been
the work Of one machine.

met His Deserts.

The man who travels on the railroad
and sits down by the side of lone fe-
males and tells them that he recognizes
q likeness of their faces to his wife's
sister, met his deserts on one of the
roads lately.
He sat down in the half of seat, the
other half of which was occupied by a
pleasant-faced young lady. He looked
at her, as such fellows will, and then
said (:
pardon me, miss, but is your name
james? / have O cousin of that name
whom you greatly resemble"
"No. sir" was the reply; ''my name
ia not James. But I think I must ask
You to pardon me il I ask is your name

"Zinc or Copper? No, ma'ain, . said
the man. "What led you to suppose ]
had such names ?"
"Pray excuse nae" was the quiet re-
ply, ''but thought you must be a first
cousin to brass foundry"
The man knocked over bird cage in
his haste to get into the smoking car,
while the young lady quietly smiled

sir John Mcdonald ana tho Cabman

Mr.. DAWN, in his most delightful
lecture on "Down the Gulf and by the
Sea" lately delivered at Winnepeg and
Regina, tells the following very charac-
teristic story Of the veteran statesman
at the head Of the Canadian Govern
ment: "In due course the party arrived
ct Quebec. The visit to the ANGLICAN
CSshedral brought on some new and
original ideas on the subject Of church
decoration from Mr. Roby, the visit
TO the Citadel, the st. Louis Hotel and
Mount Hermon Cemetary also contri-
buting to the general amusement and
interest. And the first chapter OF
what Ia really novel in three chapters
concludes with this scene, which we
believe is historical. and took place this
summer. On reaching the st. Louis
Hotel they saw Sir John Mcdonald,
with his thoughtful face and dark curls,
which still fight hard against the
blanching touch Of time. He was sur
rounded by lot Of cabmen all crying:
"I'l take you. sir, I've fine horse.
Sir John" Then our friends had the
opportunity Of witnessing one of those
acts which more than even his great
ability has endeared Sir John Mcdonald
to large portion Of the Canadian peo-
pie, Sir John asked whether Jim
Mccullough was there. Jim was not
there, but little boy said Jim was on
the stand, and he would fetch him.
Many Year, ago, when Parliament met
in Quebec, Jim always drove Sir John.
Jim now came, old and ragged, driving
the worst cab in Quebec. Sir John
shook hands with him, inquired how
Biddy and the children were, and then
amid cheers, in which even the disap
pointed cabmen joined, drove off to visit
the Governor General and the Princess
Louise.

A stone With A History.

Ben Milan, who resides in Mississippi,
near the Marshall county line, and who
is the owner Of the wonderful maidstone,
Of which we made mention some months
ago, dropped in to see us on Saturday
last while on business trip to our city.
Mr., Milan informs us that since the
stone has been in possession OF his
family 1,229 cases have been treated in
all, not one Of which failed to recover.
An average Of fifteen patients test the
curative powers Of the stone annually,
which number is about three times as
great since as before the war. The
history Of this wonderful stone, as we
get it from Mr.. Milan, is that in 1910 o
DR.. Barker, CT Alabama, brought the
stone from China, where it was known
as the "snake-stone," being used by
the Chinese to cure snake and spider
bites and those OF other poisonous in
sects. Soon after DR.. Barker returned
| to Alabama he began to test the stone
Rn persons bitten by mad dogs, and
th great success, and SO used it until
death. which occurred several years
yard, when, with other effects, the
was sold and became the property
a Garvis Milan father of Benz and
Three of his neighbors. One at a time
the joint owners sold out until Mr.. Milan
became proprietor of the stone and at
his death willed it ohis son. the present
owner, who only q few days since refused
for it 81, 800.

Daily Republican., 1882-07-28

WHERE ARE the laughing, smiling
Democrats now? Where is the ire
mendous fight predicted by their organs
that was to have taken place at the
State Convention? For two weeks
past the Democratic papers have been
9loating over the prospect Of big row
at the State Convention that would
hopelessly disrupt the Republican party
and continue the misrule of Democracy.
We informed them from time to time
that their expectations would not be
gratified; that the Republican party
would be a unit, and that united il
would sweep the Democracy from
power. There is not so much smiling
now.

beyond parallel in their allowances to
legislative attaches, they have main
tanned ring, and they are opposed to
the education of the poor mans chill
dren, believing that ignorance is ne
c6ssary to the maintenance of few in
power. They have steadily opposed
immigration into the State and pubic
improvements The declaration plain
ly meets every principle for which the
REPUBLICAN has been contending,and
representation on the basis OF popula-
ton is recommended as well as the d.
viding of the State into Representative,
Senatorial and Levy Court districts
and the people of those districts alone
to participate in the election of such
Senators, Representatives and Levy
Courtmen. As has been advocated by
the REPUBLICAN, the platform declares
that all County officers should be cleo
ted by the people of the County. The
platform further advocates q remodel.
ling of the present judicial system;
more liberal exemption laws; q repeal
of the present iniquitous assessment
and tax collection laws, and for the
calling of a State Constitutional
that will secure retrench-
ment and reform and incite the growth
and prosperity of the State.
There is not a sincere Republican in
,he state who cannot endorse every
word in the platform of resolutions, and
rs Mr.. Bird says there is not Demo
rat in the State who can honestly en-
lorse them and remain Democrat.

Tho Platform.

The ringing platform of principles
adopted by the Republicans at Dover
yesterday, are such that no reasonable
man can take exceptions to, but
they appeal with tremendous force to
the thoughtful and intelligent for SUP
port. The great constitutional doctrine
Of government "of the people, tor the
people,b the people," was re.affirmed.
Full protection to American working
men and to American industries from
competition with the pauper labor of
Europe was demanded, and protection
of our shipping interests was also de-
manded. A just and wholesome re-
fOlm of the civil service as against the
Democratic spoils system was demand.
ed and above ali free ballot, fair count
and honest returns, as against the shot
gun and tissue paper ballots. A few of
tie latter were used by the Democrats
in Sussex County two years ago. Equal
lights for all men, local self govern.
meDt, free schools and education were
made prominent and leading planks of
the platform. Dropping tear to the
memory of the lamented Garfield and
expressing the fullest confidence in
President Arthur, the resolutions pass
On to the declaration that the Demo
cratic party is found to be unworthy of
the confidence Of the people, The
Democratic party is arraigned for be-.
