Lohsters are not proper models
for intelligent human beings to copy
after or to 60 by. You cannot con
vince u lobster that a fish is better
than it Is; no, not even an oyster.
HOLSTERS don't propose to have any
new ideas of improvements beat
into their pates, that were unknown
to their grandfather Holsters or grand
mother Holsters. \ Holsters motto
is about like this:
Let the world move and pro -rrss az ii will;

Now as science, ingenuity and me-
chanical skill develops in this day
and age of the world, people are ben.
Gifted thereby, if they will avail
themselves of the privilege.
Intelligent and wide awake peo-
pie will try new ways and improve
ments 10 facilitate and expedite their
daily routine Of business, occupa-
tions and WORK. Thus a wide-awake
farmer will try a INV sulky pillow, a
new mower, or q new Tiger bay rake.
A wide-awake lady and ~hCusekeep-
er will try a new sewing machine, a
new reservoir cook stove, and oth~r
new inventions for household use;
especially when such inventions and
improvements are endorsed by the
public, and thus do away with the
old style and customs Of living a
hundred years ago.
So in view of the above facts, and
reaching the object aimed at, we
now introduce The Deveaux Patent
Rotary Steam Washing Machine,
which has been sold by us, and used
by citizens of Union county, Oak.
and other localities, since the spring
of 1879, and which has proved to be
the best washing machine yet rep
resented and sold, for the following
reasons:
/. 1t washes by steam and there
is no rubbing and wear and tear of
clothes.
2. A large washing can be done
in from two to three hours, after a
little experience in using them.
3. No boiling of the clothes before
nor after washing is done, as steam
does the bleaching at the same time.
4. They require less soft water,
and less wood or fuel for washing
than any other machine or any 9TH
er way of washing.

5. Children II years old car wash
with them. Wide-awake children
can do a weeks washing in the morn
ing before going to school, Or in the
evening after coming home from
school.
6. You can wash the finest kind
of goods or ladies' apparel of any de-
scription, in perfect safety and with
out injury to them.
I. You can wash carpet quicker
and easier with the machine than
any other way.
8. The machines will pay for
! themselves in a comparatively short
time; in saving of clothes, hard
work, and especially in the short
time required for doing a washing.
The Deveaux Washing Machines
are made strong and durable and
last for years, if properly taken care
of, with but little, if any, expense.
They are wrrrantea one year with
no expense for repairs, and also to
give satisfaction. Any person pur-
chasing a Deveaux machine, after
/, giving it a fair trial from four to six
weeks according to the directions,
which will be given, they can return
the same if they choose 80 to do,
and if paid FOR, the money will be
refunded.

A STORY ron GIRLS.
By LAURA G. w. WHITE.

9Girls, you all know me and love
me: you have faithfully kept your
pledges OF delay, though inpatient
~ perhaps, for which I should not
blame you. l have waited in this
temperance matter, hoping and pray
ing that some Of those who stood
% coldly aloof, would relent, and set
Us q noble example. Some of our
brothers and friends" and the tears
glittered in her soft black eyes, "are
still indifferent. Tonight we will
do what we can for their redemption,
and, if they are not made Of stone,
wewill break down their adamantine
hauteur. There are those who, in
the price Of youthful independence,
scorn a frail bit of paper as a bar to
= drunkard's grave; but, God help
ing us, we will do what we can, to
win them from their dangerous leth-
srgy."
Then she unfolded a plan, in
which, suffice it to say, we acquies-
ced. The evening came apace. At
IN early hour we sought the hall,
ranged ourselves side by side in a
number Of rear seats, and awaited
Developments. A throng gathered
by degrees. Then ensued solemn
prayer, thrilling music, and stirring
appeals, till the familiar invitation
was at length given to those who
wished to join the great temperance
army Of the nation. With def fin
gers We loosened our cloaks, DOTTED
our plume hats, and two. by two,
threaded the long and partially filed
aisle, and assembled the elevated plat
form. There was q sudden rustic,
! buzz, and then the hush ofexpect-
ansy fell upon the vast audience.
For enc moment MARCHES arm trem-
bIed upon mine, and / felt the thrill
Of the blood in her veins, and then,
- calmly a. . moving statue, she
clasped her fair hands n over the
other, and her clear, musical voice
yibFated to the farthest recess of the
ROOM:
"Gentlemen," she said, I'VE are
here tonight, a band oftwenty, with
the bloom Of girlhood upon our
cheeks, With brows yet smooth in
the joyousness Of youth, with tresses
untouched by Times iron hand,
with hearts that beat with hope and
fove. Gentlemen, we are here toen-
list under the temperance banner.
God helping us"-here the beautiful
bead was reverently bowed-"to alb

CLEVELAND, Oct.7.-The general depres-
sion of trade among the manufacturers Of
this city has caused several places to be
closed during the past week, while others
have reduced their wages ten to fifteen per
cent. Notably among these was the Cleve-
land Rolling Mill Company, which has been
paying but $1.15 and $1.25 per day for labor
ers. How in the name of Heaven people
will live on the low wages now being recely-
ed is impossible to tell. That, there viii be
suffering in the city during the winter
months there can be no question, and it
would be good idea for all labor organiza-
tions to meet this emergency by a thorough
investigation of the condition of the families
of the men who are members of the labor
organizations, and through a committee see
that no one is made to want as long as it
has funds at its command, Notwithstanding
it has penurious board of poor directors.
A s'print3a by name John Horner, who
had been employed on the Herald for up
ward of two years, came to this city under
cloud regarding his card. However, the
matter was arranged satisfactorily and Mr..
Horner admitted into full fellowship, and
through the assistance of the Herald men,
who desirous of securing all the offices de-
spite the opposition, elected Horner Presi-
dent. He has proven his unworthiness by
skipping" the town, leaving behind him,
for the time being at least, a sickly wife,
while he pocketed $40 of the money Of the
union, entrusted to his care to be forwarded
to Buffalo union. Such traitors should be
made well known and at no time allowed to
make peace without well paying for the same,
and that should not be a small consideration,
General Butler is to be here to the ed,
and preparations are being made to give as
good reception as possible for poor working
men to give him.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-The principal
labor topic in this city at present is the
importation of Italian laborers on the
water works extension. A letter wasad-
dressed to the secretary of war on the
subject, who referred it to the engineer
in charge. The reply states that but fifty
of-the men at work there had been
brought from New York, and that they
received $1.l24 per day. where resident
work. men receive $l25. They say the
Italians are not as good workmen as the
colored men.
The subject of the imported Italian
laborers was brought UP in the Fedora
ton of Labor on Tuesday evening last.
The members discussed the subject quite
thoroughly and very radical views were
expressed by some. A resolution was
adopted for the appointment of commit
tee to take such action as they saw fit.
The committee consists of Messrs. Fam
ming, Oyster, Donath, Bowen, Ganlt,
Mum, Ennis and Fallen. J
The coopers are still boycotting the
Georgetown milIers for using old second
hand barrels.
The printing business is. extremely
dull and there is little hopes of improve
ment until the assembling of congress.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.-The noticeable
change in the different trades here is the in
creasing dullness. Nearly every member of
a trade you meet will tell you he is unem-
ployed or doing very little. In the molding
trade matters are not what they were expect
ed to be after the adjustment of all Difficult
ties, there being fully 15V molders still un
employed.
The WoOdcarvers, as we'll as the upholster-
ers, report matters in their trade as even
worse than week ago, and at that time
nearly all were without employment. 1t is
so in all the trades. ~
Among the printers ''dull times'' is the ex
preston one will hear when a typo is met.
b There is very little change If any in the
cigarmaking trade. Some few Of the III en-
who were at first locked out have secured
employment in factories whose managere are
not members of the manufacturers associa-
tion, but the number is so small that the diff
ference is not noticeable.
General Butler will arrive here on the
twenty-third, and an ovation awaits him. In
terest in the Peoples party movement is
rapidly on the increase. M. ID. &.
