Artificial Ice.

Every town OF any size in the south
has its artificial ice factory, and the
business is one paying good profit.
The difference in the ice has been tested
repeatedly by placing pieces side by
side in the sun, and the victory has al
ways been with the artificial ice. 1t is
made after several different processes,
but what is called the ammonia process
is most common and perhaps involves
the least labor.
The water, as pumped from the ca
nal, is the color of half.burned brick.
Let barrel full Of it stand long enough
to settle and it will deposit three or four
inches of mud at the bottom 1t is
pumped into condenser No. /, and when
it leaves that for No. 2 it is pretty clear
well water. When it has passed No. 2
il has still further improved in color. 1t
PASSES from No, 2 into what are called
the baths. Each bath is huge, square
bin, provided with apertures for holding
ninety-SiX tin cans. These cans are
sixteen inches long, four inches thick
and about eight inches wide, and may
be called molds. They are open at the
top, aud when filled with the clear, cold
water, are placed in the bath or bins,
each can in a compartment and wood
en- lid falling down over the top. Am
monia gas circulateS through the bath
in pipes. and salt water is churned to
and fro by means of paddles worked by
the machinery. II takes seventy pounds
of salt to make 4 "bathN for the three
bins, holding 2SS mods, and the bath is
renewed once week, One barrel of
ammonia lasts from a week to ten days
The factory starts with every mold full
of water and placed in the baths, and in
few minutes the hands can begin tax
inc out ice Each mold is carried to
sink provided with hot water, giving
dip to loosen the ice, and the crystal
slab is then slid upon table. The wa
ter is very clear and the ice is conse-
Quently rs pure rs ice can he made.
Three slabs, or sixty pounds are placed
together, freezing solid in a brief time.
One can read the finest print through q
considerable thickness of this artificial
ice. II sells in Augusta at fifty cents
per hundred wholesale, and the factory
is run day and night and Sundays
througS the warm season, AT trial
made in Augusta last year the artificial
ice lasted two hours longer under the
sun than Northern ice. People who
used to pay from S3 to $3.50 for North
ern ice, and used ii eight months in the
year. now refuse it at dollar per hum
Clred. The genius of man has given
Nature setback in the ice business.
The artificial ice is harder, and comes
forth in better shape to be handled. A
slab of it looks rs clear and neat as n
cake Of loai-sugar.

And the Free Press ventures to make
the following.
We tell the Cairo disorganizers that the
Republican party had enough of their bull
doing proceedings, and will have no more
OF them II they want row at the sen
atoraI convention, they will be apt to be
accommodated, And if they want their
man Thomas defeated, they can be accom-
nodated in that also.
We close our quotations for toe day with
the choicest bit of political satire and GOV.
ent sarcasm that we have recently
read and which we copy
from the Mound City Patriot:
In fact all the Democratic papers in the
district were exceeding anxiousfOr THOMAS
nomination, and the words of praise that
fell from their lips were legion. But since
his nomination they can not, now, see any
good III him and never could. They not
only threaten to dig up new charges Of
corruption GA the captain, but will rehesh
the old, But our Thomas will smole his
blandish smile, and turn up his
classical proboscis at his ac-
cuseIs, and on the day Of the cleo
ton he will have the Democrats hard on
the brink, and, with the apparent sllg ht ezer.
ton on his part the loyal captain will hurl
them all, "over the battlesments of hell,
the fit abode Of traitors and the damned"
Our captain has promised to do this, and
you can depend on it, the captain will
make the dead carcass of each and every
Democrat a plank in his official bridge,
over which he will proudly step TO fortune
and to fame. With his logic and his elo-
quence, our captain will strike down more
mossbacks than ever SAMPSON slew of the
Philistines with a jaw bone Our captains
first victims will be the Argus man and
The BULLETIN man. Then will follow the
Metropolis Democrat man, then the
Valley Clarion man, then the Egyptian
Press man. The job will be bloody one,
but our captain is equal to the task and
anxious for the fray Our captains ma
jorty will be not count less than two
thousand. Captain Halliday will see that
he gets 400 of this in Alexander county.

Mr.. Simmons Revenge.

While Mr. Simmons was awaiting the
distribution of the mails at the village
post-oiiice the other morning we'll
dressed and courteous young man APP
preached him and asked to be furnished
with list of such persons of Belltown
as would be likely to subscribe for q
work he represented, THE History of
the World from the Creation of Adam
to the Resumption of Specie Payments"
Just then Mr., Simmons remembered
that he had recently been made the vic
tim of q very bewildering joke, in the
connection of which score or so of his
friends had participated and thinking
this would be good opportunity to
crafty lurking desire for revenge he
gave the agent their names. That day
he walked the streets of Belltown inilat-
ed with sense of his superiority as a
strategist lie smiled on everybody he
met in a most unusual way, and at the
dinner table he broke out in fit of I'M
comfortable laughter the cause of which
he attributed to the sudden remem-
brancc ul % .il'c story he had read that
morning, and which being related be-
tween bursts of laughter his wife pro-
nounced pointlcsS. and said he was get
tine foolish But what was his surprise
the next morning to see the agent him
self walk into his library
"Oh. YES he commenced, helping
himself TO a seat, you are the gentle
man who gave me those names Nester-
day Well, sir, several of those men
told me that your Endorsement of my
work would help its sale amazingly in
this place. They say you are regarded
ms Il sort of guide in literary matters
here"
"But don't want your work." said
Mr.. Simmons; my library is now half
full of historical works covering the en-
tire history of mankind"
But he changed his mind afterward,
During the forenoon he summed himself
in the Garden of Eden, saw the pvra-
mids built, witnessed the fall Of Nine
web and Babylon, waltzed around an
Client Troy, listened to Socrates in the
streets of Athens, applauded the Phil
lipics Of Demosthcnes, was with Alex
andcr when he cut the Gordan knot,
followed Caesar in all his campaigns
and fell in love with Cleopatra, After
dinner the agent found him in his office,
and then Mr.. Simmons iloated down
through the Middle Ages, saw the rise
of Churlemagno went on eight crusades,
bcheld the fall of feudalism, was with
Columbus at the discovery of America,
took u whirl round the world with Ma
gellan, and finally after labyrintMne
Journey to many climes and nations,
was about to see General Jackson in
auguratcd President when he gave up

umes and will cost $40. Mr.. Simmons
says he will donate it to the public Ii

THE POLITICAL CURRENT.

The attempt by Republicans to break the
power of the office holders ring in the con.
gressional district still continues, although
that power triumphed in the nomination
of congressman THOMAS. The attempt
shows itself in various ways through the
columns of the Republican papers of the
district. Sometimes vindictively and an
grily and sometimes in sarcasm,
We copy the following from the John
son County Journal;
The decapitaton OF chronic federal Office
holders has commenced We hope to see
the grand work move graLdly along. 1t is
for the good of the party
And from another article in the same pa
per we copy the following
1t is perfectly impudcnt and contempt.
BILE to charge defeated candidate with
corruption when the nomination of THOMAS
was secured by the vilest corruption and
treschery 1t is certainly not becoming
any friend of THOMAS to be changing cor
ruption under the circumstances.
A published letter from prominent
Johnson county Republican mot Judge
Damrou), contains the following remarks:
If there is anything to be told by thell
free expression of contempt for THOMAS
duplicity, and SIMPSONS and JONES treach
cry, then Hon. (O JOHN X. THOMAS vote
will grow beautifully less next November
Aside from the strength he derives from
interested parties, Ga few pensioners, anc
the postmaster with his little squad, the
ticket falls like a wet blanket, cold and
chilly.
! Barton's Free Press Is, by large odd'
the ablest newspaper in the district /
wants political blood Immediately, and al
IN one tub. Witness tho following genia
article from the paper;
Let the necks Of MoKEAId
and FISHER DO barred for the gul
lotne. And SIMPSON, and LINNELL, ant
Nicely, let them also join In tho procession
Yes, and MURPHY, too and PAP MERTz
also. Let us mourn for them oil at once
and save them.

plain the phenomenon that no nation
p.Acticing polygany has ever attained
TO true republican constitution, nor
even to that of free monarchy Nav.
il may be confidently asserted that II
would be unable to maiutain q govern
ment Of this kind even if pfesented
with it.
Polygamy at once produces domestic
tyranny by making woman a slave and
man . IYrant and socirty at large thus
becomes a com bination, not of fathers of
families, but of household tyrants, who
by the practice Of tyranny nave been
fitted tn endure it. He who is tyrAnnicaI
in authority will be abject in submission.
A plurality of wives also, as It dimi-
nishes copjugal Tenderness, saps the
foundations Of parental attachment. and
thereby impairs the interest which every
member of the state should feel in lie
preservation and prosperity. The ideas
of country and family, which Pmong the
Asiatics appear always TO have been
separated, if the first Of them be not
altogether wanting, have been ever
closely associated in the minds of the
nobler nktions.
Attachment to the one has always pro-
duced devotion to the other: the best
father of a family has slwsys proved the
best citizen; aud from this source has
flowed not oCly a respect for the author
ity of law aud the magistrates, but that
heroic courage and contempt of death
which fred the rude iDbsbitant of ancient
Germany when fighting for his wife, his
children, and bis country, to rush upon
the pixies of the Roman legions.
And so, Mr.. Speaker, all along down
the ages the human race has been mar
shaled in these two grand divisions. Asia,
ith.polygsmy Oh the one hand, after all
its struggles and conyulsIons. to-day, the
same rigid, unchsngel bic, hopeless en-
pire of force as 10 the dawn of the world.
Europe and America, with mOnogamy
on the, other, through the ennobling
influence Of the Christian home, and the
irresistible devotion to country it en-
gen ders, mounting through centuries Of
persecution aud slaughter and the loss of
all things, to the possession OF personal
liberty and constitutional government.
God, in the march of his empire, has
tEundered his warning and planted his
cross in the sky. And if you will but
listen reverently to these voices Of the
ages, you will retrace every backward
step; take up your unused powers and
proclaim 10 all the people that in the
judgment of this House il is "needful,"
yea, imperative, 10 the adoption and
practice by this embryo state of repub-
lican principles, that 80 long as this
church rules Lhis state, and polygamy in
spires its thoughts, and dictates its action,
so long as its accredited ambassador
comes 10 US in the person of al sVowed
a confessed violster of the
laws of Congress, so long will this House
refuse the territory admission to the
federal Union, and its agent admission
to this floor.
