King u Hamilton Company.

First among the great Industries Of Ottawa
IS that Of the King ~ Hamilton Company,
manufacturers Of corn shelters, cutiyntOrs,
horse powers and wagons and which in the
production Of superior goods has become
famous throughout the land. OF the indus
trial affairs OF this city none has more strong

ing successful contradiction we may state
that none are held higher in the estimation
of the people. Every citizen imbued with
the clty's Interest looks upon its rapid ad-
vancement with the most profound admira
tioa, and every merchant cannot fail to realize
the benefits derived from an institution OF
such magnitude. The foundation of this
eminent concern was laid In 1857 By Wiiiam
Gilman & Co., on n most limited scale, not
even approxlmating to the extent Of the
present vast institution, the present forcible
administration being naugurated January

stitution extend over 700 feet In length by
many hundred feet In width, and are bound
ed by the Chicago, Rock Island IL Pacific
Railway on the north, the Illinois IL Michi
gan Canal on the south and the Chicago,
Burlington Il Quincy Railroad on the west,
thus affordng 1t uneXampled transportation
facilities. Here are stationed many spacious
and admirably constructed buildings, ap-
pointed for manufacturing and storage pur.
poses, the productive departments being it,.
Ted up with all the latest and best approved
machinery and appliances known to modern
science, assisted by 1870 OF the most thor
oughly educated mechanics. The products
Of this renowned industry are shipped almost
throughout the entire west, comprising eight
different states, and wherever introduced
have met with an unlimited degree OF popu.
Iarity. Among the many spccialtIes for
which this interest has become celebrated

 esting subject. If was the victim
 of an uncomfortable appetite, l want
 ed to koow it. It was curious men
 tai problem to me. Perhaps, l
 thought, if I and a lot of other ap-
 parently pretty good fellows l have
 been cloistered with are dipsomani-
 acs, some of us may next develop a
 homocidal tendency, or desire to burn
 barns. Well, the result of my obser
 vation and reading is that there is no such thing as dipsomania. It is nothing but plain, old fashioned drunk. The drunkard, ninety-nine times in a hundred, is as much re sponsible for what he does when he is drunk, as a man who kills another through anger. The so called dipso maniac gets drunk because he wants to; he likes the effect of whisky. He may have any one of dozen reasons for it-poverty, disappointment, toothache, family difficulties, idle ness-but none of them should ex- cuse him if, under the influence of liquor, he should commit crime. Like the victims of opium, the habit is often carrled to an extent that sudden cessation of stimulants is al most certain death. No; dipsomania is a sentimental humbug and social fiction of the scientific parlor fire works Of medical men of the advan ced scbool-men like Dr.. Beard and the epigrammatic, if not deep, Dr. Spitzka.

AN ENGLISH ZINCMINE.

A remarkable find of blend at the Magpie mine in Derbyshire, is excit- ing great interest in mining circles in England. The miue is near Bake well, in High Peak, and has b been worked for 300 or 400 years with the exception of a short interval from 1843 to 1869. In the latter year 1t was again opened out, but the pro prietors had a prolonged struggle against water, the great enemy of lead mining in north Derbyshire. For nearly two years, pumping was carried on at an expenditure of 80 tons of coal per week. During this period the owners raised f19,000 worth of ore at considerable profit; but in consequence of the great ex penditure of coal, it was thought ad- visable to suspend pumping, and to get rid of the water by driving a level. This work was begun in 1873, and was finished in 1881, at a cost of f14,OOO, the level nearly 2,00O yards long, unwatering the mine to depth of 196 yards. A few weeks ago MT, Simmons, the captain of the mine, made the discovery of seam of blend five feet wide, which increases in width the farther it is explored. Mir. Simmons regards the discovery as most wonderful and altogether unparalleled in England. He esti mates that there are at least 50,O00 tons of ore in the seam, worth G3 18s. Cd. per ton. The company is now making a road to it's rich deposit, and laying down a four-foot tracki on which the ore will be conveyed out of the workings. Twenty yards from this find of ore, the workmen
 came upon an immense natural cav ern, p yards long, extending for F yards overhead and for an unknown depth below water. This cavern was sufficiently large to hold the whole of the debris excavated during six months, and was of great convenience to the company.-Mining and Scien tifc Press.

Az Expert on Drunkenness.

From George Butler ill the Republic.l
 As a drinking man myself, unfor tunately better known for that one failing than for my many virtues, let me say a word about drinking men, their modes of thought, their habits, the causes of the disease, habit or vice, as the reader chooses to call it. I am not believer in the theory of dipsomania. I know that it has a few eminent advocates, advocates among medical men, ] sought infor- nation from the doctors of several inebriate asylums and hospitals, and have had the privilege of consulting the distinguished superintendent of one insane asylum upon whom inc

Such Huggin' and Kissin',

During the holidays of last week the little town of Talbotton was wis
 tied by a couple, composed of gen. tleman and lady, for the purpose of getting married. About 10 o'clock they entered our efficient ordinary's office and made their business known, and at once MT. R. H. Leonard made them "man and wife," After the ceremony they at once proceeded to their conveyance, a one horse wagon, and partook of their food, which they had prepared for the occasion. During their stay of about an hour the town was attracted by their af- fctionate love to one another. IL was an enjoyable occasion, and the young and old enjoyed hearty laugh, Seeing that their animal was not hitched to the vehicle they oecu- pied, some of our kind young men
 rendered their services and finally got them off. As they started the lady raised from her rosy cheeks a large veil and threw her arms around her husband, and he immediately let go the reins that guided the animal, and such another kissing and hug
 ging never was seen in our town be
 fore. The town was in such an up roar of laughter that the large num- her of guests at the Thornton house,

MuIlkittIe's Boy,

friends living in the suburbs of the city, the other day, and might have spent aEpleasant afternoon, but fOr an idle Eremark of the youngster which threw the expedition into an immediate change of programme They boarded the street car, and were travelling along peaceably, not to say slowly, when the boy who, in strict keeping of a promise not to ask foolish questions, had conquered every desire to harvest information, said:
 'Ma, is a street car as hard to pull as wagon?"
 ''No. I think not"
 "Why ain't it?"
 Because the street car runs on iron"
 And a wagon runs on dirt, don't it?"
 "Yes."
 ''Is a mule street car harder to pull than horse street carl"

 ''Do mules have pistols?"
 "No."

 "Of course I'd care"
 "Then why do you want to put me off"
 A fat man who, with red nose and puffy face sat opposite the boy, looked up from newspaper and be slowed an annoyed glance on the merciless questioner.
 'He don't know me; does he ma?"
 ''Hush, Willie"
 "Mister, can you read when the car jolts?"
 The man grunted and resumed his reading.
 'If you wanted to read and the car jolted so you couldn't read, you'd get off, wouldn't you?"
 The man grunted again, and Mrs. Mulkittle brushed her sons foot from the seat and declared that she would tell his father.
 Anybody can read when the car jolts if they aint on the car, can't they?"
 'Never mind, sir. I'll tell your father"
 "Ma, that mans face is red like little brothers was, amt it?
 "Hush sh sh.
 "Mister does your nose hut?
 The man glared at the boy and asked:
 "What's the matter with you? Hush, Willie, or I'll slap you," ex- claimed Mrs. MulHttle in an agony of humiliation.
 "Ain't nothing the matter with me. Whats the matter with you? Did the cat scratch your face?
 "The cat ought to have your tongue" replied the man.
 "Then I couldn't talk, couldI?
 ''It is to be hoped that you could not.
