ALrHoUGu strangers to our citi-
zens on coming here, the two young
men who have opened up roller
skating rink at Lenahan's hall, have
made very favorable impression
upon all with whom they have be-
come acquainted. A large number
of our young folks have visited the
hall, and tried the experiment Of
propelling the skates on wheels, and
at the same time keep their balance.
Often, from the street below, can be
heard the pounding Of the floor by
some ones body, as if the frmness
of the building were being tested.
But they all assert that its delight
ful fun, and "woudn't miss it for
anything" Greenhorns, Of course,
are the only parties who insist on
keeping up a racket. A few trials
are only necessary to make any per-
son a wonder on wheels, and cause
those who have reyer placed them
selves in the harness to look on with
envy. Several Of our lads and Lass
es are already masters Of the rollers,
and glide around the room with ap-
parent ease.

STARTED. The product of the NJ.
p. Zinc Co is meeting with good
sale Last week one hundred tons
of zinc oxide were sold to n Dubu-
que paint factory QUERY: If par
ties in Chicago, Dubuque, Dayen-
port, and elsewhere, can pay freight
on oxide and make paint at a profit,
isn't it reasonable to suppose that
paint could be manufactured rs pro-
titably in this city? Do the capital
lists Of this community seek larger
returns for money invested in such
enterprises? Think Of it! The ap-
paratus for manufacturing a ton of
paint per day can be set in running
order for less than $4,000. And all
the material used in making paint,
(oxide, oil and colors,) if bought in
large quantities, could, in the event
of failure to produce paint protitably,
be sold for what it cost. Start a
mill with capacity of 500 pounds
per day, The st Of machinery to
turn out this amount Of paint would
not exceed 81 900. The NJ P.Z Co
took much larger risks that this, and
its product is not near so marketable
as paint is. Paint is being spread
six days week, the year round, b,
thousands Of painters, and for iaSid
work zinc paint is preferred by al
lwhounderstand house painting Blu
we are told by the painters Of thi,
city that more than half the zinc
paints in the market are adulterated
with useless and cheap ingredients
so that they do not wear well. This
adulterati N is done to increase the
profits in making. Pure zinc pain
is popular among painters, and they
recommend its use High grade zine
oxide is being manufactured in this
city, and there is a demand for it
a pure, desirable oxide paint can bt
produced as cheaply here as at an!
locality in the West, and a marke
for the same would as certainly be
found as does the product Of other
mills. Idle capital, wake up! We
have a number of men in this city
who, Individually, can, if they ,oiI
fit up and operate such an enterprise
Manufactures do add to u c0mmu-
nifty s thrift and wealth; estimate, il
you can, the money expended for la
Dor alone in constructing and oper
ating the zinc works! Have not all
classes Of trade been benefited by
their erection? Shall we not have
paint works?

Road these testimonials in very
special cases:
My daughter was taken with hip
disease; the limbs drew up aud tho
agony and suffering Tor six weeks
was terrible. Surgeons said she
might walk with crutches ia two
years, but she would always be lame.
They proposed pulleys and weights.
An aII-wise Providence led me TO
employ Dr. Flshblatt. In two weeks
she was free from all pain. In few
weeks more her limbs we're straight
aud both the same length and per-
feclly well, and she ruus as lively as
though she had never had the dis
ease. No words can express my Joy
aud gratitude. Shall only be too
happy to see those who desire 10

Ing5 OF that compaign, particularly the
financial operations necessary to calIl
ii on TO strcesS We boast, Il once uno,,
n tine that elections cost very little in
this country, AMI that the poorest man
could be elected to the highest Office
without its rusting him cent and we
used To twlf our neighbogs of England
about the large amount of money il
cost 4 matt 10 be elected to Parliament
Bit all this is changed nowadays. The
Garfield campaign, 50 Dorsey shows,
was one uf the most expensive aud
costly ones ever carried on. The idea
thai Doise., preached from the begin
ming was that the contest should bt
made II Waf Of money, and he insisted
on raising a large campaign fund, most
of it to be expended in the doubtful and
important State Of Indiana.
The total fund used, so he now de-
clares, exceeded $4,000. 900, nearly halt
of which went 90 Indiana. The Repub.
lican majority in that State was only
1000 so that it cost Dorsey and the
managers just j. $50 to obtain each ene
of these majority votes.
Such is the system of canvass that The
Republicans have introduced into this
country. Money is their chief argu-
ment, and with their control of the gov
ernment they are able to expend mil
lions to retain possession of the offices.
