with her relatives while he went to
California and looked about and
then he would send for her.
The poor creature, who had MO
idea of treachery, CAME on board
cheerfully and willingly, and he set
her off at Columbus; This was in
the early spring. Week after week,
month after month, whenever his
schoo11ier stopped there, Lucy was on
the shore asking if he had heard
from Pomeroy. For long time,
he said, he couldn't bear to tell her.
At last he did but she would not
believe him: Winter came ON. She
had got few boards together and
built herself sort of hut, near d
house where lived an eccentric old
bachelor; who finally took compass
sion on her, and, to save her from
freezing, let her come into his shan
ty to sleep.
He was a mysterious old man, a
recluse, with a morbid Aversion to
women, and at the outset it was a
great struggle for him to let even an
Indian woman cross his threshold;
But, little by little, Lucy won her
way; first She washed the dishes,
then she would timidly help at the
cooking. Faithful, patieHt: unpre-

him till he died, and followed him

only human being In the country
with whom he had any tie. He left
her Ills little house and a few hun
dred dollars-all he had-and there
she is still, alone, making out to live
by doing whatever work she can
find in the neighborhood. Every
body resgsets her. SHE is known as

it is to destroy every infected article
Of the kind to prevent the disease
from spreading. The Governors
servant had the smallpox several
months ago, and destroyed all her
clothes saving one silk dress, which
was saved because Of its value.
Through that, after all the long in
terval, the disease was communicated
! to the children. We have heard Of
the disease being contracted from
studying a volume lss11ti which had been
in use by a smallpox patient at
least year previous to that. The
history Of the first outbreak Of small
pox among the Mandan and Black
feet Indians, when 10000 perished, !,
is curious case in point. One of
Chouteau's trappers, who had left
his employ, came East, ssand ZAP had the
smallpox at HaggerstoMn, Nd. He
wrote to his old employer for money:
It was not sent, and in revenge he
forwarded a bundle of his infected
clothing to the West, directed to
some one ait Fort Pierre, on the
Yellowstone. Going up the Missou-
ri, Beckwith, the white renegade
chief of the Crows, slept on this par
eel, took the smallpox, gave it to
the crew of the steamboat, and eigh-
teen of them died. Opposite the
Mandan village ah Indian swan ollt
from shore and stole Beckwithas
blanket. He took the disease, the
tribe caught it from him, and in a
short time out of 2, 800. souls there
were only sixty survivors. Facts
like these render imperative the ne
cessity of even harsh methods of
sanitary precaution. Otherwise the
disease may linger among us during

that of Hege's Improved Circular

by the Salem Iron Works, Salem,

In 1873 this industrial establish

and most uneven lots in the town of

ness rapidly grew into size and pro
minence, affording the proprietor
means for charging his establishment,
until in 1877 his attention was drawn
to the great need Of an improvedset-
ting devise for saw mills, which
resulted in the production Of set
of works which was constructed "A
upon new and more correct prin- A@
ciple than had been before adopt rs
ed in their manufacture.
On Oct. Both, 1877, letter pat W.
ents were granted on the invention y
and up to Jan. l, 1880, twenty
eight Of the saw mills had been
sold, and the same number of set
works. The demand rapidly be-
gan to manifest itself, and up to
the present the mills have been sold
in twenty States, including New
York, Pennsylvania; Maryland,
nearly all of the Southern and some
of the Western States, also in Cana
da and South America. With such
encouraging demand the facilities Of.
the Works were necessarily taxed to
their utmost capacity, and every
available room in the building Was
taken up, thus making a matter Of
necessity to erect larger and more
commodious buildings which are now
completed, and the works are now
carried on in new quarters, which tM
is an imposing three story (brick) G

10000 square feet of floor space, s4'i4

machinery Of every description for
working both wood and iron. A As
horsepower automatic cut off engine
and a so horse power boiler is kept
constantly running to furnish power
for the machinery in the several de-
partments.
Without any capital the Salem
Iron Works have risen to prominence
as one of our State representative in
dustries, along with W. z: Black

and perseverance has accomplished it
together with the inoessant and Judi
cious use of advertising. In addition
to their manufacture of saw mills
they do considerable repairing and
have an extensive trade as dealers in
manufacturing machinery. The ac-
companying illustration represents
one of the circular saw mills, with
some of its principal details.
The circular saw mill is fast re-
placing the old-fashioned upright
saw, that being too slow for the
times. One of the chief reasons for
its having remained in use SO long
has been its reliability, whereas, un-
til few years, circular saws have
been unable to produce a true and
smooth quality of lumber. With.
present improvements, the quality of
work produced by circular saws is
not only truer and smoother, but the
quantity is far in advance of any 9TH
dr style of saw mill.
The mill here shown has univer-
sal log beam, rectilinear simultane-
Gus set works, double eccentric fric-
ton feed, and improved crank attach.

THE BUSINESS of train robbing con-
tinues to pay pretty well in the West,
and the robbers don't seem to run much
risk. A few days ago, at an early hour
of the morning, four men entered a
passenger train near Danville, Illinois,
and, with drawn revolyers, persuaded
the passengers to give up about $1,000
in cash and some watches. Then the
robbers got off at Danville, boarded a
train on another road and relieved its
occupants of about $500. Now and
then a train robber in the West is
caught and punished, but the authorities
seem to try to not let it happen often.
After awhile each train robber will
have his own special route, and will
make two or three trips each way per
day, and will not need to carry anything
more destructive than toy pistol.
