of our invention, but IN its stability
by any agent that will handle it with
energy, Our agents now at work are
making from $3.50 to 5000 month
clear. and this fact makes it safe for
us to make our offer to all who are
out of employment. Any agent that
will give our business thirty days
trial and fail to clear at least 800 in
this time, ABOVE ALL EXPENSES can
return all goods unsOld to us and we
will refund the money paid for them.
Any agent or General Agent who
would like ten or more counties and
work them through sub agents for
ninery days, and fail to clear at least
$3.50 ABOVE ALL EXPENSES, can re-
turn all unsOld and get their money
back. No other employment of ag-
ents eyer dared to make such offers,
nor would we if we did not know
that we have agents now making
more than double the amount we
guaranteed, and but two sales day
would give a profit of over 1925
month, and that one of our agents
took eighteen orders in one day. Our
large descriptive circulars explain our
offer fully, and these we wish to send
to every one out of employment who
will send US three one cent stamps for
postage. Send at once and secure the
agency IN time for the boom, ana go
to WORK on the terms named in our
extraordinary offer. We would like
to have the address of all the agents,
sewing machine solicitors and carpen-
tiers in the country, and ask any
reader Of this paper who reads this
offer, to send us at once the name and
address of all such they know. Adj
dress at once, or you will loose the
best chance ever offered to those out

There was nothing mean about the
Maine Republicans in electing their
state senators. They didn't want
two or three lonesome Democrats to
go off and commit suicide because
they couldn't hold a caucus and set
up candidates for pages and pastors
and folders, so they just made clean
job and elected all Republicans Phil
adeLphid Times.

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER
To all Wanting Employment.

We want live, Energetic and Cap.
able Agents in every county in the
United States and Canada, to sell a
patent article of great merit, ON ITS
MERITS. An article having large
sale, paying over 100 per cent. profit,
having no competition, and on which
the agent is protected in the exclu-
sive sale by deed given for each and
every county he may secure from us.
With all these advantages to our
agents, and the fact that it is an ar
ticle that can he sold to every house
owner, it might not be necessary to
make an EXTRAORDINARY OFFER"
to secure good agents at once. hut we
have concluded to make it to show.
moi only our confidence in the merits

The Prospect.

The Astounding falsehoods and un-
limited boasts of the Democrats lead
some Republicans to ask for Il candid
statement of the prospect. The only
objection to such statement is that
it may encourage over. confidence and
neglect Of needed effort. 1t must be
clearly understood, as a basis and
necessary condition of every estimate,
that the supporters of Mr.. Blaine are
to work as faithfully and earnestly
as if each doubtful vote might turn
the scale; that their organization,
already the best ever seen in . Presi-
dental campaign, is to be perfected
at every point; and that their vigil
lance in detecting and exposing Dem
ocratic frauds and forg is to know
no relapse.
The clatter of Free Traders about
supposed uncertainties at the West
need not disturb anybody. With
anything like full vote, the Repuh-
licans have clear majority over all
forms of opposition, as past returns
indisputably prove, in every West
ern State except Ohio and Indiana.
The last full vote in Indiana was in
1880 the Democrats have not since
polled as many votes as $3.50 cast
for Hancock, and President Garfield
then had $500 majority. The last
full vote in Iowa was for Governor !;
Republican $4,000, Democratic 1884,
900, Greenhack $4,000. The last full
vote in Michigan was in 1880; the
greatest vote since polIed for fusion
candidate falls $4,000 short of the
votes then cast for Hancock and
Weaver, and those together were
10000 short of the vote cast for gar
field. Finally, in Ohio the Demo.
Gratis succeeded by bare majority of
1900 last year, with the liquor inter.
est, the w0ol-growers, and much Re.
publican indecision of purpose to help
them. Everybody who helped them
then has been cheated, and resents it.
In brief, as to all these States the Re-
publican start with clear lead, and
in all they are more united and en-
thusiastic than they have been in any
other campaign for many years,
while the open support of Mr.. Blaine
by thousands of Democrats in each of
these States gives them increased as
surance of success. Add to this the
fact that General Butler is candi-
date and that Mr.. Cleveland is per-
sOnally repugnant to his own party,
and the situation is not unfavorable.
The contest turns, as was known
from the first upon the votes of New
York and New Jersey. There are
at least four Southern States in which
Mr.. Blaine will have a majority of
the honest votes. But these votes
will never be counted for him if it is
possible to defeat him by counting
them falsely. In New York and New
Jersey the result turns on the opin-
ions of the men who are engaged in
manufactures and mining in regard
to the tariff. If they desire to sustain
the party by which the Morrison bill
was framed and almost passed last
spring, they will support Mr.. Cleve-
land. 1t does not seem to the Tribune
that there is much chance of Free
Trade victory in either State, but no
one can tell what infamous frauds
may yet be devised by party which
selects the contriver of the Morey
forgery as its manager.-N. Y. Iri.

society, says: ''The dock porters, whose
wages per week are from 21s to 24s., do not
average more than 14s. or lbs per week
throughout the year, and therefore, the money
he spends in dissipation and drink tells very
heavily upon the comforts and physical con-
dition of himself and family"
CONCLUSIONS OF MORTALITY COMMITTEE.
Drink is the cause of the poverty, over
crowdlng, dirt, disease and high death rate of
the people,"
''Publie houses are the causes of drunken
Hess"
'sDo what you will, unless the cause is re-
moved, the evil will remain"
DRs. PARKS AND sAUNDERsoN's REPORT.
In 1871 there was another outbreak and
another inquiry. This time two of the most
distinguished experts in sanitary science were
invited to report upon the condition of Liver
pool, DR.. Parks and DR.. Saunderson. Again
it was the old, old story, drink. drink /.
drink -! Example from their report "a
tin-plate worker earns 22s. a week He has
wife, careful, respectable women, and
four children. The husband drank heavily
Sometimes he brought home 1885,. sometimes
16s., sometimes 12s. Last week he drank it
all. If he would bring 22s. a week he
would be happy as the day is long. This
family of six persons were living in one back
room, 1O4x9 feet, and 81 feet high, paying
{ week rent. Furniture, bed, table, and
two rickety chairs. Two of the four children
were sick
PIG IN A PALACE.
1t was proved that sober people, with thrift
and cleanly habits, did manage to live with a
comparative degree of health and comfort in
the closest courts and alleys, while in roomy
houses in wide streets the greatest squalor
filth, disease and wretchedness are found it
is evident that far more depends upon the
personal habits of the people within their
dwellings than upon the structure Of the
dwellings themselves. It has become almost
a proverb in Liverpool, ''Put pig in pal
ace, and he will soon make pig of it.
wAsTEFUL SYSTEM.
The cost of pauperism alone in this dis
trict about one-fourth of the population of
the (Foxteth) township is double the cost in
the rest of the township, and amounts to
e1O, 600 per year; equal to five pence in the
pound direct cost. The purchase of the
public houses and the demolition of the in
sanitary property here on some such plan as
suggested would be about the best investment
ever made for the rate payers The cost
would be refunded four-fold in very short
time besides wiping off the reproach which
strangers visiting our city charge upon u.s.
that we are breeding race of savages in the
midst of our civilization, and that for the
benefit of a few bloated monopolists.
The Monitor., 1884-06-06
INDUSTRIES OF CITIES.

The greatest signal industry in New York is
that of manufacturing mems clothing. Forty
eight thousand people are employed, and the
annual production in 1880 was valued at $780,
798,679 This is followed in order of their
respective Importance by meat packing, print
ing and publishing, malt liquors, mems cloth
ing and tobacco products.
In Philadelphia the most important indus
tries are the refining of sugar and molasses
valued at nearly 1915, ,000 900 in 1880; mems
clothing is the second in importance, with a
ploying nearly five thousand hands; the man.
ufacture of cotton goods and carpets is also a
very large item in this city.
Of course in Chicago, the slaughtering and
meat packing industry outranks all others.
The annual product is valued at nearly $780,
600, 900, and eleven thousand men are en-
ployed.
The bean trade is not as it might be imag-
ined the leading industry of Boston. The
refining of sugar and molasses and the manu-
facture of clothing leads. Sugar and mo-
lasses refining is also the leading branch of
business in Brooklyn SO far as the value of
the product is concerned. The annual pro-
duct of mems clothing in Cincinnati now ex-
ceeds in value the slaughtering and meat
packing interest The former is valued at
nearly $14, 600, 900 annually, and the latter at
nearly $12,000,000. In Pittsburg the value
of the iron and steel product is one-half of
that of all the industries combined. The
Touring interests in st. Louis, the manufac-
ture of jewelry in Providence, iron and steel
in Cleveland, mems clothing and the canning
industry in Baltimore, meat packing in San
Francisco, printing and publishing in WASH
ington and so on through the list.
OF course the amounts paid in wages do not
correspond with the relative position of the
leading industries of the large cities. New
York pays out more for wages in the manu-
facture of clothing alone than is paid out by
all the chief industries in the thirteen other
largest cities of the United States. In 1880
the chief industries of the fourteen cities paid
in wage $13 1907, 1870, and produced goods to
the value of nearly $780, 600, 900.

FAMILY LIFE.

If there be anything which makes life
worthy the living, it is to be one of an affec-
tionate family.
Strange to say, however, most people could
count up on the fingers of one hand the
really nice families they know-the families,
that is, in which there is not only tender
care for each other but an unselfsh deport-
ment and a kindly interest always manifested
by every member of the home circle towards
every other fellow member.
The daughters will always fetch the mother
anything she may want, and brush their
brothers top-coats and hats for them ere the
male members of the house start off for work
in the morning.
The lads. too, will often take their sisters
for walk, or pay them little attentions,
which cost nothing and mean great DEAL
This is the household into which young
man who wants a good wife will do we'll and
wisely to marry. There may not be much
show about the girls, but he will find that
they are compassionate, and that their dis
positions stand the test of wear.
1t is easy enough to fall in love with girl
when she is arrayed Tor party and feels the
flush and pleasure of the fun.
When life deepens and darkens, however,
and little family worries come in, man
wants something more than pretty drawing
room ornament for wife he needs real,
good-hearted, honest, womanly soul and help
mate.

These are some of the results of the explor-
ing expedition conducted by NJ. Alphonse
Milne Edwards, at the instance of the French
government in the Atlantic ocean, on board
the 1alisman. They were communicated at
a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences,
Paris. The ocean to the west coast of Mo-
rocco and the Desert of Sahara is of almost
uniform depth. Fish abound at depth of
1000 to / 500 metres. Between Senegal and
the Cape Verde Islands, the nets reached a
depth of from $500 to $500 metres and
brought up many living specimens which have
not hitherto been known to exist elsewhere
In these depths the fecundity of life is pro-
digious, and at one draught as many as 2,500
fishes were captured. The deepest sea-sound-
ing ever made, says the Scientific American
was made in the Pacific ocean near the en-
trance to Behring's sea. Bottom was struck
at 4, 655 fathoms The cast was made from
the United States school-ship IatscGT0rd

Atlantic, 731 fathoms, shows the subsistence

Daniel Webster was very fond both of ang-
ling and hunting. He could dexterously cast
the fly and was good shot. On his farm OF
one occasion he had visitor who was fond #
hunting, but could seldom kill on the wing
Webster had an excellent setter dog, and
while accompanying the visitor partridge
shooting the dog soon found covey of birds.
and Webster told his friend to step forward
and shoot. He did SO, but killed nothing.
The dog, unaccustomed to such shooting,
turned his head around and, without moving
his feet, looked the sportsman deliberately
in the face After some persuasion the dog
was again induced to hunt, and discovered
another covey of birds The gunner again
discharged his piece without any results,
when the sagacious animal, perfectly disgust
ed, slowly wended his way home.
