THAT SEWING MACHINE at the top
of the stairs leading to the TRIBUNE
Office has a history peculiar history.
It was landed there one noon while
we were feasting on potatoes and
era b-apple pie On the machl was
a note saying:
"EDroR TRIBUNE:--i send you
to-day sewing machine on that ac-
count OF mine ($l5 0o). The works
are nearly all new, and think it as
good as new
This would be all right if we had
expected to settle the account by
taking a machine. But we didn t..
Then it was three weeks coming
about seven miles, and evidently had
been riding all that time on top Of a
load Of dry bone, face down, unpro-
tected, ana besides, some castings
were broken, so its condition can be
more easily imagined than described.
There's millions in 1.-THE printing
business. Who wouldn't be a prin-
ter? Or, who'll give us $l5 for the
Chine, and thus help the poor?

SATURDAY was a day for music
sure. Besides that what the lta ians
dispersed, the Dodgevile Tornado
Band came in that evening and made
it exceedin lily interesting for lovers
of sweet music This band consis s
of two guitars, two harmonicss,
comb, triangle, etc, and once hear
ing them is sufficient evidence that
they have devoted considerable time
to practioing. Each one is well up
in his undertaking and goes at it
with a vim that's praisworthy. Geo.
Schofeld, the leader, handles the
guitar with masterly skill, and left
fattering impression. This is one
of the sweetest toned instruments
known to the world, and when
played as he plays it charms the
bluntest ears. Come again, boys;
you'll find lots in Mineral Point glad
to halt and listen to your executions.

Building for Earthquakes.
LNew yerk sun.l

The volcanic eruptions in Java, the
earthquake in Ischia, and our own west.
ern tornadoes have probably caused
much more destruction Of life and prop
erty than they would have caused if
buildings had been specially adapted to
resist them. In Japan. where shocks Of
earthquake are frequent, IT Is not usual
to dig foundations for any building, no
matter how large or important it may
be. Rocks, slightly rounded at
the top, are placed where the four cor
ners Of the house are to be. The corner
posts, also rounded at the end, rest on
these. The timbers are all pinned to-
gether, not nailed, so as to allow of con-
siderable movement without coming
apart In the central portion of the
building the timbers are particularly
heavy, and act as ballast. In high
towers there are sometimes huge beams
swung from the roof andreaching to with
in foot Of the ground, which prevent
the building from being overturned
either by earthquake or storm. The
Oldest building in J apan, the Treasury
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-10-16

at Naran, is built in this mannyr, with,
out the swinging beam, but with a
very heavy ballast ia the framework in
the center Of the floor. A
well-known artist is the inventor of a
painting hut which is constructed in part
on the same principle. Itrests on stones
at the corners, the timbers are keyed to-
gether, and it carries heavy ballast un-
der the floor Its, however, in addition,
secured to the ground by ropes and
anchors. This hut will outride gale in
perfect safety. Probably II would not
Withstand the force of tornado; but it
would whirl through the air without
falling to pieces. and would reach the
ground again right side up. A larger,
heavier structure Of the same sort might
not be budged even by a tornado.

QUAINT STYLES IN HATS.
The Heads of Owls and Kittens USED
in Millinery Decorations of the
ParISlan
New York Telegram.


Paris is very animated, in the BOis, at
the salon triennial, the Hippodrome, the
Cirque, the Port St. Martin-while "Frou-
Frou' is drawing crowds-at the grand
bazaars, with their exhibitions of silks,
velvets and nouvesutes oliver, the fash
ionable restaurants-and, above ALL in the
environs of the Rue de la Paix. Elegant
mondaines and demi-mond-ines are visible
daily in full force, and the salons of the
great courturies are invaded by ladies IN
quest of new toilets-costumes de chateau,
costumes for hunting, shooting and five
o'clock tea.
Here are three new hats that were noted
at the salon yesterday. A toque OF black
tulle, embroidered with POmpadour sprigs
of bright flowers in front large. loosely
looped rosette of Rose Dubarry ribbons,
and in the midst of that richly jeweled
owls head. A Henry ". hat of the yel-
lowish, long pile beaver, the brim long and
narrow, on the side a nest of mice, form
ing bow A blue soft felt hat, on one
side bow of blue velvet and satin, on
which is placed c bird with open wings,
and from under that emeTges kittens
head.
The demand for kittens heads has be-
come so important that cat breeding has
become regular business. Pigeons wings
and cocks heads are also much worn, and
the muff of the season will velvet or plush,
to match the dress, is a kitten or hiron-
dele de mer on the front.

Petroleum V.

A correspondent of John Swinton's
paper solemnly says: 1 have not seen
Nasby in New York for some months.
There's an odd fellow for you. He can
work harder and steadier, both at Z. demi-
john and typewriter, than ary other
literary feller in the country. He never
travels without both the articles mentioned
as his companions. His method is to hire
a whole section in Pullman, have the
curtains drawn and the table set up, and
proceed to business with the typewriter
on top of the table and the jug under
meath. He takes drink to a page, and
his eagerness for the jug makes him rush
off the pages at very lively gait. For
some years past he has been travelling
abroad, getting material for a history of
the world. 1t will be sold by the cord.
He has made great deal of money, and
through prudently buying his liquors at
wholesale and selling it to himself at re-
tail, he has saved up fortune by saving
that balance. He is short, fat and fifty,
and he smokes fve-cent cigars when he
can get seven for quarter.

The Brave Who Wanted Cannon

General Sherman, when on the plains
this summer, met at one Of the smaller
Colorado stations number Of Indians,
writes a Washington correspondent. They
came up to him and shook hands. Many
of them displayed great admiration for
him as the great white brave, and some OF
them appealed to him for gifts. One, a
lusty old buck, with greasy blanket
thrown over mis- shoulders, wanted can
non. He said:
Tell the great father at Washington to
send Indians big cannon. Me want can
non to shoot big bullets"
Sherman replied: Il don't think In
dians ought to have cannons. I'm afraid
you would use them against my soldiers
wouldn't you?"
The copper-colored brave looked at the
General and no sign of smile glittered in
his eye as he replied mo. no! no! In
dian no need cannon for soldiers; kill sol
diers with sticks; soldiers no good want
cannon for cowboys
1t is said that General Sherman was
greatly amused and somewhat disguised

TTondOn Lancet.

LONDON lancet
At Auberine-en-R -Royans, village in the
Dauphine, situated between Valence and
Grenoble may be seen an old woman living
in a hut, in narrow street, who has
reached the extraordinary age of 1913 years.
She has no infrmity except slight deafness,
being in full possession other mental facul-
ties According to her marriage certificate
she completed in January last her Tooth
year since marriage. She was can't
Mere under the First Empire, and had
two sons killed at the battles of Friedland
and in Spain. She supported entirely on
the aims given her by her visitors, who go
from great distances to see her as an object
of curiosity, and her neighbors help her to
do her household work. She lives almost
exclusively on soup made with bread, to
which is added little wine and sometimes
a little brandy. DR.. Bonne, who practices
in the neighborhood, states that she is
never ILL., Her skin is like parchment, but
she is comparatively upright and is of scru-
pulously clean habits.

How He COurted Her.

The following is Artemus Wards descrip-
ton of why he courted Betsy Jane: There
were many affectin' ties which made me
banker after Betsy Jane. He fathers farm
lined ourn their cows and ourn squelched
their thirst at the same spring; our mares
both had stars on their forehead the mea-
sles broke in both families at nearly the
same time; our parents Betsy James and
mine) slept regularly every Sunday in the
same meetin' house, and the neighbOrs
used to observe: How thick the Wards
and the Peasleys air. 1t was sublime
sight in the spring of the year to see our
several msthers (Betsys and mine with
their gowns pinned up, SO they couldn't sile
'em, effecktionately bilin' soap together and

The Way He Played 1t.
Free Press.

He was young man with thorough
understanding of the leading traits In hu-
man nature He dresses well, carries an
extra cigar, and he drops in and presents a
card to the effect that he is engaged in can
vassing for an embryo-work to be known
as "The Encyclopedia of States
Yes, but [ guess l don't care to sub
scribe replies the citizen.
''Oh, but | don't want you to. The book
will be sold on its merits. | am calling
upon few Of the most eminent"
Here he makes pause to allow the shot
to strike, and then continues,
-"Citizens of Detroit-the most eminent
and prominent citizens of Detroit to secure
brief sketches of their lives
'Har' says the other, beginning to melt
1--WE desire to take five of the most
prominent citizens of this county. In the
sketches we desire to know how they have
risen from poor boys to great and honored
men"
Here occurs another pause to allow the
victim to tickle himself
''Well-a-well-"
You were the first Of the five selected" 7"
chips in the young man. "My mission is
to secure your photograph in order to make
steel engraving. In the course Of ten
days l will be followed by the gentleman
who writes the biographies. Have you

"Well-ah-I think sO.'
"We want one which does you full JUS
tice. The engraving costs us S25 EACH
This we pay out of our own pockets, but
are compelled to make charge OF S. each
for the tint paper and the reference in the
index. Let's see. What does the initial in
your middle name stand for?"
1t invariably stands for S. bill, and the
young man leaves behind him such
pleasant impression that the victim keeps
grining for two weeks. At the end of that
time he becomes suspicious, and in the
course of a month he become dangerous
man to society.

THE GAMBLERS LAST DEAL.
4 True StCry.


BY ELLIOTT PRESTON.
'dclt the game for twenty years,
But II never deal again,
For saw one sight that makes me loathe
The thought of the tigers den!
some three years back (as perhaps you know,
For think I've seen you there,
dealt for half the 'bloods' in town,
And my game, you can bet, was square!
one night boy strayed into my place,
Who couldn't have turned eighteen,
Md half glance was enough to show
He was what we sports call green.
H> naxen hair was fine as girls,
But | saw, TO his bright, blue eye,
The love of Play. like II serpent, creep,
or a cloud o er a summer SKY!
We'll, night after night you might see him
And his luck was ,corse than bad,
But he never 'squealed' when he lost his pile,
Aud almost pitied the lad!
E" should say in the space of a month or so
can't lust name the ume),
He dropped hundred thousand, cool,
Ifhe dropped n single dime!
one night he sat with IL haggard look
In the place we called his own,
For his pile was gone by twelve o clock'
And his final coin was blown
Then ticker and chain he handed IN
Which went my way on 'coppered ace
Twas my limit and reached by few
Quick he snatched from his breast flashing
gem,
Which he passed rue with steady hand,
But saw the cold sweat break from his brow,
Though his DIuck was something grand!
i handed him thousand more,
For saw twas peerless stone;
Welt use, for the luck had set'
AS he should
When his last chip went, for awhile he sat,
As if his sense had gone, -,
Then reluctantly, from his smooth, white mana,
He drew circlet worn

Which, new, might cost q "
Though twas worthless now, passed stack
JUST the end of his luck to see!
He 'planked il down in the poland then
Ills face on the table laid
Pom his folded arms, ana never moved
However the deal was played!
Il told him when the limit barred
But he answered never a word,
% we played five hundred on each cara
Still he neither spoke nor stirred!
Well, would you believeit?
The pot won out for it seemed that worh'
old ring,
Had changed his luck Though can't tell how,
For luck is "A 'skeery' thing)!

But his head fell back like lead;

Senator Anthony is the only Senator in
service now who answered to his name at
the roll-call on March 4, 1861, when the
Southern members resigned. OF the eight
men who took the oath of Office as Senator
in 1859, Senators Anthony and Salisbury
are still ''in harness. Judah P. Benjamin
is practicing before the English bar; Simon
Cameron Of Pennsylvania, Daniel Clark OF
New Hampshire, Senator Yulee and Jeffer-
son Davis are resting quietly in private

anticipates fortune from electrical inven-
tions; Lyman Trumbull is still practicing
law; Hannibal Hamlin is yet vigorous in
his declining years. and Harlan of Iowa is

Temperance Crusade Rhetoric.

Frank E. Bronson, druggist who sold
spirits at Oberlin, Ohio, has sued the Rev.
James Brand, the Congregational minister,
for $4,000 on account Of the latters use OF
some very lurid crusade rhetoric, nearly
two years ago. Brand talked in this fash
ion: Despair shall seize thee, agony shall
tender to thy parched lips her fiery cup,
remorse shall feel for thy heart and rend
it open. Good men shall breathe freer at
thy death and utter thanksgiving when
thou art gone. Men shall place thy grave
stone as monument and testimony that a
plague is stayed, and as borne on the blast
thy guilty spirit whistles toward the gates
OF hell, the hideous shrieks Of those whom
thou hast destroyed shall pierce thee, hells
first welcome 1t was a rather unpleasant
picture for Mr. Bronson to contemplate if
he thought it applied to him-for it seems
that no name was used.

Because you are evidently unaware that

United States mails for one cent"
This is not sealed package"
Excuse me, sir, but it is. The stamp is
partly on the wrapper and partly on the
newspaper, and the Postoffice Department
has very properly decided that it is sealed
package. Packages of that kind may get
through to theirdestination occasionally but
it is in violation of the rules. 1t is very
convenient to fasten a newspaper in a
wrapper in that way, but it should not be
