A Detroit clergyman thinks it would
be we'll for all the churches to unite and
hold Thursday evening prayer meetings
at the skating rink, most of the cOngre-
cations being usually found there.
A terrible accident occurred three miles
west of Vassar last Thursday. JnO. Road
er was in the woods near the house and
his wife was in the lot watering the
stock, when their house caught fire and
was consumed with their their three
children, the oldest 5 years. Nothing
was saved.
The "sanctifers" Is the name of re-
ligiOus sect down in Van Buren, county.
and one of the tenets of their faith Is
that there must be no shams. Therefore
one sanctified sister threw away her
false teeth and coined out her bangs with
hetchell, burned up her hustle, knocked
the high heels off her shoes, ironed down
the graceful curves of her corset, and
stopped buying the Great American Corn
and Wart EradicatOr with which she
was trying to remove q wart from her
chin.
The recent active resumption of work
at the Ropes gold mine, upper peninsu-
la, has had the effect of stimulating ex-
plOrers and prOspectOrs to renewed exer-
lions. The latest discovery is on section
35, township 40, range q, where an ex-
perienced western gold miner is now
engaged in sinking a shaft and has
taken an option from the Michigan land
and iron company. Specimens of quartz
have been shown which were, to all ap-
pearances, equal to the Ropes quartz.
The importance OF this discovery lies in
the fact that 1t extends the length OF the
gold range at least five miles, in north
easterly direction.

Washington Monument.
Telegram to the Inter Ocean.


Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean,
The wOrkmen engaged on the Wash
ingtOn monument have succeeded in
setting the keystone that binds the in
terror ribs of stone which support the
marble facing of the pyramidal cap.
This keystone weighs nearly five tons,
and is set 534 feet above the base of the
monument. 1t was hOisted few davs
ago to position above that in which 1t
now rests, and placed on secure plat
fern inside the framework of the derrick
spar. Its sides are finished in the usual
shape of keystones. but above the KEY
that completes the arch Is q fOur-sided
perpendicular extension that braces the
Interior stOneblOcks that extend to the
ashlar face. The entire stone is feet
6 inches high, as feel 10 inches from the
wedge, and feet inches square at the
top. At each corner is cOncave cut
ting on wedge and top to key the ribs so
that section of the top or bottom is
nearly uniform in shape. The plans of
the engineer officers and the prepara-
tiOns made were so perfect that every
thing worked handsomely and without
tho slightest accident or delay, With
the precautiOn which has been the rule
about the shaft ever since the work of
completing the monument was begun in
October, 1878, Colonel Casey directed
that the elevator should not be run
while the setting Of the stone was in Op-
GRAFTON, and no person was allowed on
the iron stairway, or anywhere In the
interior of the shaft. AS the last of the
four stones upon which the keystone was
TO rest was being hOisted into place
Messrs w. s. ROOse and Thomas SOmer-
vile, two well known citizens and prom
inent members of the Masonic order of
Washington, arrived on the 50O-fOOt level.
They mounted the ladders leading to the
top of the double arch, ard were allowed
to assist in setting the browning stone
of the arch, an event full Of significance
in their craft. With a small trOwel,
used on many occasions Of Masonic cor
ner stone laying, they helped to spread
the mortar which was to build that ia
nous arch under the keystone. They
were much impressed with the fact that
only very slight clipping was neces-
sary to make the stone fit with mathe-
NAUTICAL exactness the place prepared for
it, the resalt from the debris being less
than handful of chips, which we've
carefully preserved by the privileged Wis.,
itOrs.
Information has been received bv Col.
Casey of the successful casting at Phila-
delphia of the aluminium of the cap
stone. 1t is small pyramid about seven
inches high and about FIVE inches wide
at the base, the apex being point sharp
enough to prick the flesh, This is said
to be the largest casting Of aluminium
that has ever been made. The lightning
rod which runs through the capstone is
to be fastened to the button Of this cap,
and it will practically be the end of the
| lightning rod,

The Choice ofOccupation.


Parents often complain to me that
their sons who have been TO school all
their lives have no choice of occupation
or that they choose to be accountants or
clerks, instead of manufacturers or
mechanics. These complaints are in-
variably unreasonable; for how can one
choose at all, or wisely, when he knows
| so little!
confidently believe that the develop
ment of the manual elements in school
will prevent those serious errors in the
choice of a vocation which too often
wreck the fondest hopes. 1t is not as
snmed that every boy who enters a
Misunderstanding SCHOOL, to be amechan-
ic; his training leaves him free. No
pupils were ever more unprejudiced,
better prepared to look below the sur
face, less the victims of false gentility.
Some lind that they have no taste for
manual arts, and will turn into other
paths law, medicine or literature.
Great facility in the acquisition and use
of language is often accompanied by q
lack of either mechanical interest or
power. When such bias is discovered
the lad should unquestionably be sent
to his grammar and dictionary rather
than to the laboratory or draughting-
room. 90 the other hand. decided APP
titude for handicraft is not unfrequently
coupled with q strong aversion to and
unfitness for abstract and theoretical in
vestigations. There can be no doubts
that, in such cases, more time should
be spent in the shop, and less in the
lecture and recitation room. Some who
develop both natural skill and strong
intellectual powers will push on through
the polytechnic school into the profess
ional life, as engineers and scientists.
Others will find their greatest useful
ness, as well as highest happiness, in
some branch of mechanical work, into
whicA they will readily step when they
leave school. All will gain intellectually
by their experience in contact with
things. The grand result will be an in
creasing interest in manufacturing pur-
suits, more intelligent mechanics, more
successful manufacturers, better lawyer,
more skillful physicians, and more use
full citizens. Prom "7he Fruits of

Bntter-Ghee.

Those who thrive to-day in the man
ufacture of oleomargarine have not the
satisfaction of filing a want of econo-
my, but are driving from the markets
an article that has for years been the
most desirable food in almost every
country in northern ATTITUDES where
oily nourishment is preferable. A few
years ago, gentleman interested In
dairy facts and statistics, sought out
the circumstances attending the intro
duction and use of butter in antiquity.
BE found that butter was not used
either by the Greeks or Romans, nor is
il mentioned by Galen, an ancient au-
thority on medical subjects, or by
Apicius, the Roman epicure who wrote
on cookery.
Butter made in hot countries is gem
orally liquid. In India it is called
Ghee, and is mostly prepared from the
milk Of buffaloes; it is generally con-
veyed in duppers or bottles made from
hides, each of which contains from ten
to forty gallons. Ghee is an article of
considerable commercial Importance in
many parts of India.
The Arabs are the greatest consumers
Of butter in the world. 1t is common
practice among all classes to drink,
every morning a cupful of melted but
ter or ghee; and they use it IN an inf
mite variety of other ways. The taste
for 1t is universal, and even the poorest
individuals will spend half their daily
income that they may have butter for
dinner, and butter in the morning.
Large quantities are annually shipped
10 Diidda and other Arabian ports.

Congressman Blackburn, of Ken.
lucky, is quoted as telling this story
-Four days before went to the front
with my regiment we had little cir
baby. She is now grown, and you al.
ways see her with me at any social
gathering. Well, in our army the fur
loughs came very rarely. When we
got into line there was no great chance
for a man to get home. Ii was about
three years afterward that few of us
were one night going down the Missis-
Sippi on q river steamer. l had been
sick and was returning to my command,
but pretty well broken up even then.
As for money, we did not have any,
and the night was hot as | laid down
on the deck, and my throat almost
parched with thirst. Pretty soon a
little girl came along with big glass of
lemonade. tell you it looked good TO
me. She saw me cycling it, stopped a
minute, looked doubtfully at me, and
finally came up to my side. You
looked as if you wanted something to
drink, she said, and offered me the
glass. 1t wasn't quite the square thing
to do, but took it and handed it back
to her empty. 1t was like nectar to
me. Then | thanked the little crea-
ture and sent her away. Soon after,
just like any child, she came back,
leading her mother to see the poor SOL
der. By Jupiter, it was my wife and
the girl was the baby whom had last
seen as a baby but just born. You can
imagine the reunion. They were with
my brothers. family and happened to
be going down the river That was the
only time during the four years fight
ing that | saw my wife and baby. and
under these circumstances what man
would ever forget it?"

Let no one hereafter complain of
having TO live in garnet alone and
without fire. For here, with all this
spacious and noble house to select from,
the widow of Washington chose a gar
ret looking to the south and out upon
his tomb. This is the old tomb where
he was first laid to rest, and where the
fallen oak leaves are crowding in heaps
now and almost filling up the low, dark
doorway.
The garnet has but one window, a
small and narrow dormer window. and
1t is otherwise quite dark. A bottom
corner of the door is cut away so that
her cat might come and go at will. And
thus is the saddest, tenderest sight at
Mount Vernon. 1t seems to me that
| could see this lady sitting here, look.
ing out upon the tomb of her mighty
dead, the great river sweeping fast be-
yond, her heart full of memory of d
mighty nations birth waiting. waiting,
waiting Her work was done. She had
lived quite the allotted three score and
ten. Her companions were in the tomb,
and so she chose this garnet, just above
the bed in which her immortal husband
had died, as a sacred pla"e in which to
sit down and cherish her memories and
wait with folded hands for the end.
And so here, after year and half Of
waiting, the angel of death found her
the hands were folded forever, and the
nation mourned for its mother.--Joa.

To MANY ShipS For Profit,

Too many ships have ruined the ocean
carrying trade. Four years ago, in
August, 1880, the twelve leading English
steams ship companies were earning 5.4
per cent. on their shares, year later
they were earning per cent. varying
from 10 per cent. for the Union Steam
ship and General Steam Navigation
Company 6 per cent. for the Cunard
and 8 per cent. for the Commercial,
to the Amazon, which earned per cent.
The aggregate capital of these com
panies, S2l0, 515, 900, was quoted at a
premium which made its value on the
market 1925, S05, 900. To-day these
shares are not worth half this. The
Union has paid no dividend since
November, 1882, the Cunard passed
its last dividend after dropping to and
per cent. and the Innlan, National,
Orient and Royal Exchange have all
had losing years. A month ago Cunard
shares were at 30 to 40, Union at 55,
National 40, Inman 25l, and others at
like figures, English quotations being
reduced TO an even par of 100 on paid
up capital. The only of the larger com
panies which made money in 1882, or
whose shares maintain their values, is
the Peninsular & Oriental, which attri-
butes its prosperity to the great number
of its routes, which furnish 1t trade in
one place when commerce is depressed
! in another.

ment. His duty is confined to carry
ing into execution the orders of Con-
gress. He is absolutely incapable of
originating a line of action or of under
taking it, save on rare and exceptional
occasions, without the direction of Con-
gress. 1t is no more possible for a
President of himhself to be ''dangerous"
than it is for boiler to explode with
out steam and fire. Weak he may be,
in himself or through his agents, in en-
forcing the law, or corrupt, he cannot
be dangerous The element of dan
ger in our Government is confined to
the legislative branch, which alone has
the power to initiate action. As mat
ter of fact the country has never had a
dangerous President and never can
have. Even the most positive men in
the position have soon felt the oonserva-
tive influence which accompanies the
possession even OF limited power.
But while no President or candidate
for President can be dangerous, the
party which puts him in nomination
and its principles very often are so. 1t
is matter of the utmost importance
to manufacturers and employees wheth-
er the Republican party is the party of
protection or free trade. As president,
MIR. Blaine would not directly abolish
the one system or establish the other.
The election of a President puts party
and its principles into power and not a
single person and his opinions.
There is a question of danger to be
considered in the coming election, but
it is not involved in the person of Mr.
Blaine or of any possible candidate of
the Democratic party. 1t is in the
ascendeney of one party or the
other. BY perfectly natural processes
during its long period in power, the Re-
publican party has gathered within it.
self all the conservative and steady ele-
ments of political and commercial life
1t is for these that Mr. Blaine stands.
BY the same processes, the Democratic
party has gathered to itself all the dis
turbing and revolutionary forces of the
community - everybody who wants
things different from what they are. 1t
is these that the Democratic candidate,
be he in himself ever so conservative
and trustworthy, will represent. Dan
ger lies not in the men, but in the par
ties.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1884-07-03

The gushing proposition Of the Re.
publican boilers to the Democratic
managers reminds one of the young
man who advertised for rooms and
board in some family "where the adj
vantages of his society and example
would be considered sufficient remun-
Grafton" That's about the style in
which George William Curtis, Henry
Ward Beecher and Carl Schurz tender
their compliments to the Democracy.
In return for the privilege of naming
the candidate and outlining the plat
form they are willing to occupy the
seats Of honor in the Democratic syna-
gogue. And that's first rate chance
for the Democrats: they have always
admired Mr. Curtis as n "Millner,' y
while language has never been found
adequate to express their admiration
for Beecher and Schurz.
