A Profitable Industry.
Detroit Post and Tribune,

There is an enterprise carried on in
Detroit which Is not generally known,
and never appears in the statement of
the city's varied prosperous industries.
Its novelty is such that it has never as
yet attained the dignity of name. II
is carried on when majority OF citizens
are asleep. Those engaged in it prosper
upon the carelessness and misfortunes of
others. Their income defies definite
prediction, but can be depended on for a
handsome return on the capital invested.
The few engaged in this industry might
be termed finders The pioneers IN
the business were gas-lighters. Scarcely
one of their number, who has been en-.
gagged with the craft for any considera-
Bile length of time, has failed to find one
or more articles " hich afforded a hand.
some addition to his regular income.
Almost every night there was valua.
BILE find or two, and as knowledge of
the tact came to few men who were
waiting for something to turn up, they
saw in it golden opportunity, and are
now laying up treasures from what they
can hnd.
One of these individuals lives in
Closes alley and is a negro. At the
very peep OF day he may be seen abroad,
travelling at good round pace, scanning
the sidewalk aud doorways, and swOop-
ing down on anything OF sufficient va ue
to repay the loss oil minute or so.
There are also three men who travel to-
gether, their rounds generally beginning
about midnight and continuing until
daylight. They walk abreast, taking in
the sidewalk, scanning it as they 20, the
| center man carrying a bull's.eye lantern
attached to the front OF his coat. They
go as rapidly as is consistent with their
business, aud nothing OF value escapes
their notice. A basket is the receptacle
tor many articles, money goes into their
pockets, and heavier finds sometimes ne
cessitate the sending OF a detail of one
or two for assistance or wagon
What they pick up comprises almost ev-
cry movable commodity worn or carried
upon the streets. They secure hats,
handkerchiefs without number, coats,
money, umbrellas, feathers of value, oc-
casionaiiy valuable watch dropped by
some night marauder, purses, rings,
breastpins, canes, chains, bracelets, keys,
letters, gloves, furs, skirts and even hose,
dropped by some luckless adventures.
An invoice OF these findings would show
an immense annual aggregate. Aplume
picked up not long since netted eight
dollars to the finder A watch was
quietly disposed OF for fifty dollars, and
the purchaser had bargain. Much of
the jewelry is sent to distant market
Ready money is tucked away and tells
no tales.
Curious finds are also made. An old
lamp-lighter said to reporter; 81 have
picked up two bushels Of potatoes when
they were worth dollar and half pei
bushel, and no one even called ior the
bags.
Another had found O new suit Of
clothes, neatly done up, and found then

all, they are worked up into shingles.
The prime consideration In shingle tim
Der is to get wood that is sound and
roof, and IL must be old and brash to
prevent warping. A log may be doty in
places, and even hollow, and yet have
considerable good timber in it suitable
for shingles The logs selected, they are
''run ia" and sawed into ''bolts" sixteen
inches long by cross-cut saw
worked by stem, power. These bolts
are then placed on end and pushed
against large circular saw in
motion, and the good parts cut in the
most economical shape, as the operator
judges OF it by looking at the end. The
refuse goes to the fnrnace-room, and
tho select blocks are carried to the
shingle-machines at the other end of
the room, where they are set on end in
sort OF wise, and giggle rapidly back
md forth against circular saw, the
block being thrown out at the top and
movement, for the butt and top of the
shingle, at the same time il is moved
back to the saw, each movement max.

are of all Widths, and some taper in

doty strips through them, and sometimes
these defects run parallel with the sides
Of the shiugle, and sometimes they do

they are thrown on u conveyer and 90 to

that have doty streak or crack or knot
near the middle, are jointed and pitched
over the planer to man who holds
them against a circular saw until they
are ripped up and these defects cut out.
Then. If this operation leaves the sides
and butts at right angles, they are sent
below to the binder, but if these defects
run at an angle, the butts must be
squared, and they are sent down for that
purpose first, Shingles that are 'feath-

Last Wednesday Mr.. Jas. sonter met
with a severe accident at Mr.. MoFad
den's barn. Some mules tried to rup be-
tween the barn and wagon while he
was standing there, knocking him down
and inficting a severe scalp wound
about sir inches long. He was brought
TO DR.. BaiIey's office, where he was
properly treated, and IL is hoped no
very serious result may follow, though
II is shocking wound and the skull is
slightly cut also.
Mr.. Day, Of the Swamp, brought into
our Office, the other day, half dozen
empty cartridge shells. which ho had
taken from the craw Of fine fat hen.
Tho shells were worn TO about half their
usual length, and filled with dirt and
gravel. How long they had remained
IN the craw OF the chicken cannot. Of
course, be known. but finally caused her
death. Mr.. Day thought, when he had
dissected this hen, 10 ascertain why she
died. that he had found a gold mine.
Fred Rohr, who has q wine manufac-
tory about a mile east from the depot, is
preparing TO 60 extensively into the
business OF making wine this season. He
has had thirteen tanks constructed, and
will have seven more built. Some OF
these tanks will hold 1000 gallons, 9th.
ers 800 and 900 gallons. He also has
n 4, 900 gallon water tank. We under
stand no intends to purchase all the
grapes he can handle, amounting to
hundreds Of tons. paying from slS to
$50 per ton. This viii bo good news TO
our vineyardists, who were in quanda
ry what to do with the heavy grape crop
this year. An extensive winery has
been one Of the enterprises this valley
has long felt the need Of. The grape
crop is assuming immense proportions.

here on the issues Of the day. In speak

lios.s ATTY, odsshe other hand, holds to
the doctrine that in fixing tariff rates
the eject Of the rate proposed upon
American industries and upon the wages
OF American workmen should be care.
fully and kindly considered. We do
not think that the shutting up Of shops
or the cxtinguishment of Industries is n
pleasant work. We have not reached
tho plane Of that cold philosophy which
refuscs to recognize closer relationship
and higher duty to the American
workman and bis family than to the
English. The foundation Of our ma.
tional security and life are not Of stone
the good will and good conscience Of
our voting population support the state
ly fabric. Contcntment is condition
Of good will, and has M important rela-
tion to good conscience. Good wages
promote contentment. The cry Of the
free trader Is for cheaper coat, an
English coat, and he does not seem 10
care that this Involves cheapening Of
the mon and women who spin, aud
weave, and cut, and stitch, He may
even deny this. But let one OF these
gentlemen, whose lines have been so
favored that they have never had any
"personal contact with business" 20
into any great manufacturing establish
ment and tell the grimy workman that
tho product Of their work il to be re-
duccd % per cent In the market. He
will see that the men who have had
very rough personal contact with great
manufacturing establishments will tell
the griiny workmen that the product Of
their work is to be reduced 25 per cent.
in the market He will sec that the
men who have had very rough arsn..
sonql oontect with business" at once
understand TINT tho hope of better
wages are imminent. II is no answer to
say that the manufacturer ought TO
stand the reduction himself. Per-
haps in some cases he ought. In other
cases he could not without producing
HIS goods at a loss. / may admit that
seliishness is the genius that presides in
the mill office, but even this evil genius
scan bo made to serve the workman when
the produce of the mill is in demand at
good prices. | do not say that our
American workman gets all the benefit
be ought 10 enjoy from protective
tariff, but do believe that his condi.
( tian and that Of his family is vastly bet
ter than II would be under free trade, or
tariff.for-revenue-only policy. 1t is no.
ticeable that even the Mcdonald school
of Democrats take great comfort in what
they call the incidental protection, !"
which tariff for revenue will afford to
our industries and to our workmen.
They admit the benefit OF protection,
but insist that il must be an accident.
& As said once before, we. on the other
hand, prefer that the good shall be de-
signed, and so, intelligent.
