New Orleans Times-D emocratl
The manufacture OF "buffalo-hornn funi-
ture has become an industry in New York.
Tho horns are not those of the bison, as Is
commonly believed, but are from the cattle
killed ia the abAttoirs. They are sold at the
slaughter houses for n little more than what
the button manufacturer give, Are cleaned,
dried, scraped and polished. The cost Of
making these horned goods is less than that
OF carved wood, but taey bring two and
three times more than the latter. The new
industry Is almost m~enOpolised by Germans
from Saxony.

France Going Down.

France b not prosperous. Allowing for
the million and a half taken away by Ger
many, the population has made no progress
at all since 1850. Its numbers are smaller
now thai they we're fifteen years ago, while
the load OF taxation has almost doubled.
Equally stationary has been the export
trade. The average OF recent years has in
deed been lower than for the years immedi-
Rtely succeeding the war. Imports have, on
the other hand. augmented much, but not
because the country has been internally pros
porous. The increase is the consequence OF
bad harvests, and indicates "a further denu
dalton Of the wealth of the people.

LIE rAERMosTATIo NURSE.

philadelphia Tines
An English inventor has devised and pat
ented a machine for taking care Of babies
without the Intervention OF "A nurse-maid- II
is called the "thermostatic nurse 1t Is de
scribed as an artidcially-warmed and thor
oughly- ventilated box, in which u crib OF

even temperature, varying only about one
degree from the standard decided upon. All
this machinery IS described in the specifca-

the personal watchfulness that may be de

This machine is supposed 10 be accompanied

And, best OF all, It cannot firt with young
soldiers or policemen or with the driver Of
the grocor's cart out in the parks or at the
back door.
Everything considered, the thermostatic
uurre has many advantages over the old plan
But from the illustrations Of the machine the
doting mothers suspicious are likely TO be
aroused. IL has the appearance OF one Of
those labor-saving devices which will double
the risk and worry, and require about three

Is not probable that the inventor will make
a fortune out of his machine the first year.

CHAT ny THE A

The breezy political expose made by
THE LEADER yesterday morning was
town talk after the appearance Of the
paper. Nobody who was at all acquainted
with the facts attempted to deny any
thing there stated, and the only criticism
passed upon the article was that it did
not go far enough One thing is very
certain, and that is that it caused u good
deal Of hedging around
~
The treachery of Mr.. Slack toward Mr..
Sharpless and Mr. Jeffrey, who have con
tributed very largely TO the support of the
san during the past several years, seemed
30 unreasonable ON its face that many
people did not at first credit it, A very
little investigation, however. demonstrated
the truth Of the statement and developed
some further facts which will be forth
comin- at the proper time

this season he is going back on a c%ast.iron
principle which has hidhHrtoIguided him
in his glitterine career.

and claims a heavy proportion Of the city

A MAGIC POWER !
A Secret Agent at Work.

We we're surprised the other day TO
learn that certain individuals in this city,
who had for many years yielded to what
was apparently an Inevitable fate, were
startled from their torpid condition of
semi-stupidity, into asserting their right
to ''life, liberty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness." These parties had besn bound by
an influence as powerful ss it was incom-
prehensible. They knew not the cause,
yet they were victims to the result, They
were enchanted, but they could not dia>
Germ by what means they had been man
scled. They had long sought deliver
ance In vain. Their appeals to science
and the knowledge contained in books
were equally unsvailing. At last, relief
came. It was not through any action of
the President, or Of Congress. for their
trouble was not of q political character.
Neither did the Governors message re-
lieve them. nor any aetien Of the new
Legislature, for it was out Of their power
and foreign to their Jurisdiction. Yet
! they were suddenly and effsctuasly re-
leased from the bondage they suffered,
and placed on the equal scale of human
happiness. "Wba. was their trouble?"
is what our readers will ask. They had
been rendered helpless By that universal
enemy-rheumatism. They bad not
walked or even moved without pain for
years, and on the strong recommends
lions of friends "who had been there, {"
they tried Britannia. and were at once
relieved and radically cured. Britannis
is what did it. It acted like q msgic
power. This secret sgent quietly coursed
through their veins, removed the cause
of the trouble, liberated the eaptives
from their doomed condition, and pov
they congratulate each other on the
Accomplishment Of such q triumph, and
the acquisition of the knowledge. by
which they csE at any time resist The
encroachments OF their common foe. We
could give the ames OF the parties, bu
will wait future lime.
