These are heated and rolled to the
proper thickness and width and the
strips are then annealed and whiten-
ed. The blanks are next punched
and cleansed of the greese from the
rollers, and are then sent to the adj

II too heavy, little is filled off the
edge; if under weight it is remelted.
From the adjusters the blanks pass
TO the stamping-room. The milling
as 1t is generally termed, is then put
on, but not at all according to the
popular idea. If the blacksmith's
homely but expressive word of up

there would be but little doubt as to
the process. After it is upset, to

the beam will be noticeably detected.

being coined, but there is money
enough on hand in the mint to make
half the town rich. There is more
money than can be handled. The
reporter noticed the heavy doors for
a new vault which is to be constructed
as a storing place for the excess of
coinage. There is SIS, 100000 in one
vault, $4,000, 900 in another and S.

Poor Cetawayo's troubled life is
over. For trying to exercise the func-
tions of king in Zululand and resist
ing the efforts of the English to inter
fere with him, they made war upon
him, defeated him, and took him pris-
oner. In order to impress him with
their power they took him to London,
where he was honized for time, then
returned him to Zululand, reinstated
him on his throne, and went off and
left him. Meanwhile other ambitious
chiefs who had been his vassals made
war upon him, upset him from his
throne and killed him, and then muir
dered his wives so that they might
keep him company If the English
had only let him alone IN the first
place he might still have been king,
ruling a united country, and quietly
reposing in the large and numerous
bosom of his family. His shade, how
ever, if it is allowed to roam about
Zululand, will have the consolation OF
knowing that the English Will have 8
heap of trouble with his successor
whoever he may be.

the tug Macarthur was crossing the

The Cummings had broken her shaft,
and labored heavily in the trough of
the sea, which ran so high as to cause
the Seymour to run back after setting
out for service. But for the assistance
rendered, it is not at all improbable
that there would have been a wreck

Disease in Wool.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The secre-
tary of the treasury received letter
from prominent firm in New York,
calling attention to the fact that large
quantities of wool of the low grade
are exported from Egypt, Syria and
other countries in their vicinity to this
country, which is the principal market
for them, besides considerable GUAM
tity of bed woods, extracted from old
mattresses, from Constantlnople, etc.
These woods are frequently tran
shipped at Marseilles and in England
for this country. In view.of the cpl
denic raging in eastern Mediter-
ranean, these woods might convey IN
lection as well as rags.

To Say Nothing of the Discomfort.

Chronic constipation is an ailment very difficult
to overcome by ordinary means. and absolutely
inimical to health in the free discharge of the var
ious physical functions. Dyspepsia, liver COM

and a variety of other complaints, spring from or
are aggravated by it. Among aperientS of a ra-
tional class as distinguished from the violent

Bitters stands deservedly high. 1t is sufficiently
active, without being sudden and painful in oper-
alton, and not only affords radical relief from ir-
regularity of the bowels but invigorates them and
their kindred organs, the liver and stomach AS
a tonic. therefore, no less than as aperient it
is article of the first rank Fever and agIle
rheumatic complaints, a want of vitality and
kidney and bladder ailments, are also within the

THE telegraphers' strike develops
no important new features. The

THE American Rapid Telegraph
Company, Of the east, does not mean
to be behind the Western Union in
looking out for number one. The
Rapid" was prompt to raise the
wages of its employees ten per cent.
and then it was quite as prompt to
raise its own wages to the public 300
per cent. The public will pray for no
more strikes among telegraph opera
tives if it is to pay the fiddler at the
rate the Rapid Company charges.

THE telegraphers' strike is sub sid
ing into dullness and obscurity. A
strike is like a rebellion, only digni-
fed by success. The companies have
got along without the strikers for a
week, and the inference is that they
can get along without them indefn-
ltely. The service having been re-es-
tablished, the public naturally loses
its interest in the controversy, and it
is probable that the telegraphers will
have to be content with less space in
the newspapers than they have occu-
pied during the weeks past.

Living and the Tariff.

Very few persons have ever exam
ined closely the effect of tariff taxa
ton upon their family expenses, ane
consequently there are very few whl
realize how largely the cost of living
is increasing in this way. A citizer
of New York City, who has made al
exhaustive examination, furnishes the
results to the World for publication
and in view of the showing, his choice
of vigorous language in speaking OF
the beneficiaries of high protective
tariff is quite comprehensive and par.
donable. He says:
"I am a workingman living on the
fifth floor of ten family tenement OF
the far east side of the city, with a
family of seven to win bread for, and I
need not say it is all can possible do
to do it. During the past year my
wife and have kept a careful account
of all expenditures and compared them
with the tariff tables. have exclud-
ed every item where the cost was not
enhanced by the tariff, and find that
during the year 1882 have paid 1854
more for what has come into my house
than it was worth if bought in open
market where l could buy it cheapest.
I have not estimate the value of an ar
ticle as having been enhanced by the
full tariff. Sugar is protected by So
to 81 per cent. I have put the en-
hanced price at so. Salt is protected by
"a per cent. / estimate it at so. Rice is
protected by los per cent. / put it at
100. I bought two carpets protected at
68 per cent, and estimated their extra
cost at so per cent. Clothing of all
kinds is protected by from 56 to 78 per
cent. l took 60 per cent. for enhanced
price. have tried to be fair and just.
My income from all sources has
amounted to s2,$4O. The tariff has
taken over 2S per cent. of it, and has
not added one cent to my income.
How much of this % per cent. has gone
into the Federal Treasury, and how
much to the tariff lords? With the
exception Of a little beer, two bottles
of brandy, lemons, spices, nutmegs
and few little items of woman's ap-
parel bought by my wife, nothing pur-
chased has been imported, except,
perhaps, sugar; and that / doubt.
Coffee, tea and free list articles are of
course excluded.) TO be exact, $22
have been paid into the Federal Treas
ury as tax and $632 have been paid
as blackmail to these tariff robbers.
My wife says that our purchases were
of the regular kind, and there is not an
item that would not be down in any
family account book, and that half or
quarter the income would require
more than half or quarter the protec-
ted articles, saving being made in inn
ported articles and domestic luxuries
not protected

FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION.

Seventeen people buried ia the Rains.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 15-At one o'clock
this morning the people in the vicinity
of No. 80 Wilstach street, on the border
of the inundated district in the west
ern part of the city were startled by a
loud explosion, which broke the glass
in the windows. 4 three-Story brick
building, occupied by four families,
numbering seventeen persons, was
found in ruins, occasioned by an eX-
plosion from fire damp or sewer gas
in the cellar, and all the people were
buried in the debris. \ scene Ofterror
followed, as it was supposed the eN-
plosion was caused by the pressure of
water in the sewer, and the people
thought other explosions would follow.
Many left their houses in the utmost
alarm
AND FLED, THINLY CLAD,
to places of safety. A fire alarm was
turned in which added to the con-
sternation and the fire department
responded promptly, but finding no
fire began the work of rescuing the
unfortunate victims.
By five a. M,
ALL THE OCCUPANTS
had been taken out. Officer Mack
and wife, and two-year-old daughter;
Mr.. Miller was dead John and Henry
Brown, and Robert Rockamann, a
neighbor who was in the house at the
time, is badly injured, and can hardly
recover. Jacob J. Brown and wife
were rescued after several hours labor,
severely, but not fatally hurt, and his
were taken out compara-
lively unhurt. Mr.. Miller is badly
injured, but all the rest of his family,
except the child named ABOVE, escaped
with small injury. Harmon and
family also escaped, with slight inju-
ries. The Brown boys and Rockamann
were building raft, and wanted some
lumber i'm the cellar and went for it
with candle, when the gas or damp
exploded. The adjoining house was
injured by the explosion.

Halnline Wants Money.

Bishop Foss, president of the board OF
trustees of Hamline University, has
issued an appeal to the effect that the
institution sustained a staggering blow
by the fire of Feb. Z, and that, after
paying the Indebtedness, only $4,000
will be left from the insurance, TO
erect a building equal in cost to the old
one 10000 at least will be needed.
The friends of Christian education,
especially throughout the Northwest
are therefore earnestly appealed to.
A new building must be erected at
once, and prompt contributions are
solicited. The Bishop requests that
the appeal be not dismissed by the
pastors of the Minnesota conference
with the jingle of a few nickels.
