Tom win, Of Ohio.

Great Tom Gorwin, of Ohio, re-
signed his seat in Congress when the
war broke out and went as Minister
to Mexico, remaining there until
1865. No one knew his reason for
adopting this course,and no one cared
to question the propriety or policy of
the choice of the "old man eloquent"
1t is hardly to be doubted that he
had no heart for participation as
actor or Legislative manager in war
that was waged by his friends for the
subjugation OF his friends, for Tom
Corwin's heart beat responsive to the
heart beats of dear ones all over the
continent. When he returned to the
United States he was depressed, dis
couraged and unhappy; to his old
friend and partner, Durbin Ward,
who received him lovingly, he said:
"Durbin, the public l once loved is
no more. The times have changed.
The whole country seems to be going
wild; to be going to the devil" His
last public appearance was at a
gathering of Ohio uotables in Wash
ington. The old spirit appeared to
have returned to its tenement; he
was brighter and wittier than he had
seemed for years. Suddenly, after
telling an anecdote, his countenance
changed. He arose with the expires
sion: at is very hot here" and the
most eloquent tongue in America
was silent evelmore. He was para
lyzed-he fingered until next day
and then they carried him home to
sleep beneath simple headstone in
the old Lebenon Cemetery. But
there are monuments in many hearts
to the memory of Tom Corwin, of
Ohio.

A family, consisting of a lady and
her four children, by the name of
Guthrie, living near Rogersville
Junction, in East Tennessee, were
fatally poisoned last week, dying in
great agony, from eating canned
blackberries. The family ia one of
the most prominent in that section,
and every known antidote to poison
was resorted to without avail. 1t is
thought the poison was the effect of
the action of the acid upon the can.

THE result of the investigation de-
manded by Representative Ellis, of
Louisiana, was his complete and
thorough vindication. The fact that
this would be so, was 50 apparent to
every member of the House that it
seemed like folly to humor Mr.. Ellis
by referring the charges to commit
tee. In fact they carried their own
refutation with them, and were repu-
dated by even his worst enemies.

The public library at Worcester
Massachusetts, was the first one in
New England to open it's reading
rooms to the people on Sunday, and
the result is most gratifying. The
class of people who frequent its
rooms on week days consists almost
exclusively of students, literary men,

made up of those confined for six
days in the week to the store, the

MAKING SCREws.-The process of
making screws is a very interesting
one. The rough, large wire in big
coils is, by drawing through a hole Of
less diameter than itself made the
needed size. Then it goes into a
machine that at one motion cuts it a
proper length and makes a head on
it. Then it is put into saw dust and
"rattled," and thus frightened. Then
the head is shaved down smoothly to
the proper size and the nick put in
at the same time. After "rattling"
again in the sawdust the thread is
cut by another machine and after
another "rattling" and a thorough
drying the screws are assorted by
hand (the fingers by those who do
this move almost like lightning),
crossed by weight and packed for
shipment. That which renders it
possible for machines to do all this
a little continuance that looks
and opens like a goose's bill which
picks up a singular screw at a time,
carries it where needed, holds it
until grasped by something eIse and
returns 70: another. This is one of
the most wonderful pieces Of autom-
attic machinery eve seen, and it has
done its distinctive work at the rate
of thirty'one screws a minaie.
although this rate is only expert
mental as yet. Ninety.three gross
