having had all they wanted of con-
tests at St. Louis Crossing last week.
The fight commenced at 2 o'clock
sharp, and was continued for two and
one-half hours with a vigor and
earnestness seldom ever before seen
on a harvest field. Every machine
on the ground did good work, but the
Buckeye and Esterly led all others,
and for a time it was difficult to tell
which would win. But the steady,
never-let-up vim Of the Buckeye man.
ayers and the superior excellence of
this celebrated machine soon exhibit

full work all the afternoon, passing
around other macaines that were stop
ped for repairs, and, to its credit be
it said, it missed not a single bundle
during the entire contest, and it was
the only machine Of which this can
be said.
Upon each circuit of the field the
superb work of the Buckeye called
forth cheers from the crowd. 1t was
acknowledged by all unprejudiced
persons that for lightness of draft,
freeness from side-draft, clean cutting
and perfect binding, the Buckeye
reached the topmost round of the lad

the crowd upon the work performed,
a vote was taken, with the following

Detroit vs.. OwossO.

The game of base ball between the
Detroit League club and the Owosso
amateur club, played at Pastime Park in
this city on Friday afternoon, wa a sur
prise and a pleasure to the hundreds of
spectators. The receipts were S192. 10
and were more than satisfactory. The
playing on the part of both clubs was ex.
c%ellent, the Owosso boys surprising both
themselves and their friends. The Detroit
Tribune gives the following report of the
game:
TAKING IT LIVELY FOR owosso.
The Detroit team went out to Owosso
yesterday and played with the local team
there. Knight and Trott constituted the
professional battery up to and including
the sixth inning, when to please the people
who wanted to see the regular battery at
work, Derby and Bennett took charge of
the batters, Derby striking out seven men
in the three remaining innings. The
spectators and the members of the home
team expressed themselves satisfied With
this exhibition of skill. The Rev. L. b.
Plat, Congregational minister at Owosso,
played second, the Detroits say, in superb
style. The score is as follows:

HOW TO BE HANDSOME.

| Most people would like to be hand
some. Nobody denies the great power
which any person may have who has
q handsome face aud attracts you by
good looks even before q word has
been spoken. And,.we see all sorts Of
devices in men and women to improve
their looks.
Now, all cannot have good features
they are as God made them-but
almost any one can look well, espec-
tally with good health. It is hard to
give rules in very short space, but
in brief these will do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act freely, and
it takes care of itself. Its thousands
Of air-holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough
not too much. The stomach can no
more work all the time, night and
day, than horse. 1t must have reg
ular work and rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks.
Brush them with soft brush, espec-
tally at night Go to bed with
cleansed teeth. OF course to have
white teeth it is needful to let tobacco
alone. All women know that. Washes
for teeth should be very simple Acid
may whiten the teeth, but it takes off
the enamel and injuries them.
Sleep in cool room, in pure air.
No one can have a Clearly skin who
breathes bad air. But more than all,
in order to look well, wake up mind
and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.
Il do not know that the brain ex-
pands, but it seems so. Think, and
read, not trashy novels, but books and
papers that have something in them.
Men say they cannot afford books,
and sometimes do not even pay for a
newspaper. In that case it does them
little good, they feel SO mean while
reading them.-But men can afford
what they really choose. If all the
money spent in self. indulgence, sin
hurtfal indulgence, was spent 10 books
or papers for self-improvement, we
should see change. Men would
grow handsome, and women too. The
soul would shine out through the eyes.
We were not meant to be mere ami
mails. Let us have books and read
them, and sermons and heed them.

4 NeW Method OF Purifying Copper.
The refining hearth is covered with silica,
supposed to absorb the arsenic and anti
mony which are oxidized during the pro-
cess. and 20 make them 90 into the Stag.
In reality this combination IS formed very
i1perfectly, and an amount OF two one
( thous andths of arsenic is considered suffi-
cient to impair the quality of the copper.
NJ. Gsrnier's process in some respects re
sembles the Thomas Gilchrist process. He
employs sole of chalk and tar, over which
for each separate operation. he places a
false sole of limestone and manganese pc
Ioxide. With the melting Of the copper a
generation of carbOnic acid AID oxygen
Dedins from the upper sole, which oxidizes
the charge. As soon as the metal is sutfi-
ciently liquid the lime and manganese pro-
toxde rise and dissolve the arsenic acid
By this one operation the amount OF arsen-
&c, according to NJ Garner, is reduced to
one fifth. Subsequent fusions with basic
1uyes are SAID almost completely TO eliml-
nate the arsenic. An analysis of cement
copper Of Rio TInto Is added. Of 0'S per
cent. of arsenic only OOPS could be deter
mined at the end of the thId operation,
the amount of iron contained being at the
same time all but removed. No mention
is made in this snalysis of antImony. As
special advantages OF this system NJ. Gar
nler claims that the roasting of the black
copper becomes unnecessary, and that the
loss of copper, arising from parts of the
copper combining with the silica of the
Stag, is avoided.

Tony Pastor In Trouble.

Tor Pastor. of New York, who is now
with his ininIitable variety combination,
making tour of the principal cities OF the
Uniou, is recognized as the Leading Char
acter vocalist and variety performer OF the
United States. He owns and runs first
class theatre on Broadway, New Iork
City, and has gathered about him the best
troup of variety artists that could be oD-
tanned. The company has just completed
n brilliant engagement at the Walnu.
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and after the
present tour they will reappear in Tony
Pas or's own Theatre in New York City.
Mr. Pastor is the originator OF his peculiar
school of character singing, and has made
himself immensely popular, having realiz-
ed by his talent an immense fortune.
The writer of this article met MIR. Pas
tor recently at the Bingham House. in
Philadelphia. and found him as genial In
private as he is amusing before the public.
During our conversation l inquired as to
his physical health, aud he replied that,
notwithstanding the strain upon him In
the discharge of his professional duties, 1t
was excellent. Hehad occasionally severe
pains, either the result OF rheumatic attacks
or colds, but any complaints Of that char
acter never troubled HIM long, as he had
found out q remedy FOX all sdch annoying
affections. asked him what the remedy
was, and he replied, ''St. Jacobs Oil.' |
then learned from MIR. Pastor that he con-
sidered the Great German Remedy an ex-
cellent preparation for the cure or relief
of rheumatism, and that it was about
the only thing used among professional
people for that distressing complaint. He
took bottles of it with him whenever he
went travelling, and would not be without
it, and knew that it wes very popular with
number of members of his own company.
A conversation held subsequently with
various members of the organization re-
yealed the fact that st. Jacobs Oil had
be- IN performing most invaluable service
for them in the way of curing them Of
rheumatism. Nearly every artist IN the
troupe used il, and was enthusiastic in Its
praise, and the writer was really forced 10
the CONCLUSION that Tony Pastor was GER
tanly in luck in having so valuable an
article known and employed by his in
imitably good company Of performers, tor
II enabled every one to be always IN his
place, thus insurIng comfort to the mana
cement and genuine satisfaction to the
public. Tony Pastor would certainly be
in trouble without st. Jacobs Ol. AT
least, other managers whose artists have
been temporarily unsupplied, have noticed
the difference between ST. Jacobs Oi! In
stock and ST. Jacobs Oil out OF stock
among the members OF their companies.-
