An English Manufacturer Settling in Amer

1850
The arrival on our shores Of thousands
OF emigrants attracts but little attention
now-a-d days, but the advent of a complete
factory, including both machines and
operatives, is an event of more than pas
sing iatsrest IN 50 far as far as it may
be the fOrerunner of similar undertak-
ings, the effect of which will be marked
ly felt among us. Mr.. John Cooper, who
has undertaken this novel enterprise,
has built new and cOmOdious brick
mill for the manufacture of hosiery at
Simmensville, a small place near Proyi-
dsHse, r. /. which he has filed with
machinery imported from England, and
the operatives whom he has brought
from Nottingham, England, will begin
work at once, The party consists OF %
men, 80 women and girls and 20 chill
dren.
The cause which determined Mr.. Coop
er to undertake such radical change
ia 10y him ascribed to tho depressing eff
feet Of free trade in England. Natural
ly the undertaking created considerable
excitement, and the departure of the
crowd from Nottingham was Witnessed
by large crowd. Mr.. Cooper says that
tho eyes Of many English manufactur-
ers are upon his undertaking, and that
If he proves successful others will sure
ly follow his example. We, also arc in
terested in the outcome Of this under
taking, and see no reasOP why success
should not follow il the con Germ is work
cd on good business principles, and thus
Induce others to increase the wealth Of
this country by settling among us.-IR-

A Boston paper says that in January,
1874, the thermometer at Joanisk, in
Eastern Siberia. registered 10l degrees
below zero. Mercury in that region"
il says, sis solid for hours at time, and
can be worked with hammer like lead /;
iron is brittle like glass, and Is useless;
even fire itself seems TO freeze, for the
gases which feed it lose their heat. and
during the winter it is impossible to go
cut without mask to prevent losing the
ears or nose" Generally the man who
tells the first story gets left, but the
above takes the belt.

TIE Black Watch.

The famous "42d Highland0rs" (famil-
iarly known ia the British army as the
Black Watch. says the New York Times,
have added one mere to their countless
exploits by the storming Of the Arab In
trenchments at Brit, where poor Gen.
Earle was killed. Among the many deeds
of daring performed by them in recent
wars three stand out preeminent. They
were one Of the three Highland regi-
ments with which Sir Colin Campbell
(afterward Lord Clyde broke the Russian
center at the Alma, on the Goth of Sep
TENDER, 1854. They formed part of the
immortal thin red line topped with
stesl'' against which an overwhelming
Russian force shattered itself in the
memorable attack upon Balaklava five
weeks after. In the advance upon COON
AISLE dsriRg Gen. Wolssley's Ashantee
campaign, in January. 1874, the "Black
Watch" bore the bruRt of the great fight
at AmoafuI, suffering severe loss in ear
rying at the point of the bayonet thick
wood held 10y native sharpshooters. In
deed. every one must admit that they
have fully Obeyed the injunction with
which their chief led them up the Alma
hillside: Now, my men, make me proud
OF the Highland brigade"

HON. Roswell G. Horr. Representative
in Congress from the eighth district, has
been giving the Democrats few part
ing shots. On the Goth he made a speech
on the manner in which the money for
the New Orleans exposition was obtain
ed and how il was used. He succeeded
in convincing good many who heard
him that there was something rotten
in Denmark" and that the previous ap-
preparation had been obtained from Cen
gress by false representations. A few
days previous he gave the DENIS scor-
ing in the debate on the proposed change
Of tho rules Of the house, claiming that
the rules were purposely constructed so
as to prevent the transaction Of business.
At the close of his remarks Calamity"
Weller interrupted Mr.. HOrr With this
question: "Does not the trouble arise
from the incapacity on the part Of our
leaders," The Mehigandsr instantly
replied: "You being one of tho main
leaders on that side of the house, think
perhaps that is the trouble" After the
tumalt had subsldsd Weller went over
to HOrr's desk, and said:" Il will get even
with you Tor that, old follow, before the
winter is ever keep STILL" said Horn
"If the Democrats will let me alone tyr
naming yOa as ONE Of their leaders you
should not complain. You don't seem TO
com plshend how cruel that statement
is to your party friends over there"
Weller looked little confused and walk
cd away with blank look Oh his face,
and no one could tell whether he saw the
joke or not. Representative Horn is a
bad man fer light weights TO tackle as
many Democrats have found out to their
discontinue, and it is a great loss to the
entire state that he il to be retired for
an inexperienced man who will never
WELD the influence Of Mr.. HOrr.

THE Democrats held their state COR
vsHtion in Bay City on Wednesday Of
last week and nominated A. B. Morse of
Ionia, for Judge Of the Supreme Court,
and Chas. r. Whitman, of Washtenaw,

by the managers compact was made
with the Grsepback convention in SEES

Regent and the additional Judge in case
the bill to re-organiza the Supreme

A NEW YORK business man recently
made the following observation to re-
porter of the Tribune. which at first
glance seems incredible, but ho gave the
figures to prove his assertion: "Do you
know that it is fact that the largest
Volume of money invested in securities
of any one kind is ia mortgages on
farms? The total is greater than the
debt of England; several times greater
than car OWE; and larger than the sum
Invested IN railways. Some years ago
the farmers got prosperous and paid off
some mortgages, and the total was con-
siderably reduced; but / notice that it is
again annually increasing"

The PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY PRESS
promises to oatrival the magazines, in
their own field, besides giving all the
news, helping the women, and furnish
inh valuable hints to the farmers at the
Same time. 1t has levied tribute upon
the brains of the greatest of living
statesmen, scholars, and men of letters,

publish three or four of these special ar
ticles, which will make the best of good
reading until the next paper comes. AL

miral Porter. Mark Twain, Gen. Stone.
Archibald Forbes, Robert, Buchanan,
Lieutenant Greeley, Gen. Q. G. Long,
Thomas A. Edison, Prof. Proctor and
others. Those will DO followed by con-
tributions from Gladstone, Gen. Grant
and Mr.. Blaine, poems by Oliver Wendell
Holmes and Whittier, and stories by
Wilkis Collins. Bret Harts, Ouida, Miss
Bradaon. and others. In short, the fore
most men in statecraft, in art, science
and literature, will make the Weekly
Press, during the year 1885, a storehouss
of story, song, discoveries and useful
thought. la addition Mr.. Robert p. Por-
ter, formerly member Of the tariff COM
mission, and now of the editorial staff Ut

whence he will write series of popular
letters to that paper, presenting the
economic condition of the European ma
tons, showing the comparative cost OF
production, and the conditions of life OF
the European Iaborer In tho shop, the
mill, and on the farm. These letters
will be OF the highest value to every pro-

The Arizona editors have been pro
lice source Of amusement to their more
cultured brethren of she eastern press,
and the latter have from time TO time
given the public through their more
widely circulated journals many eX-
tracts that otherwise might have wasted
their sweetness on the desert air" Of Ar
iz,na. Tho following gems show that
Nh, Arizona man is maaif~stly bent on
business. The first is an obituary notice,
and while perhaps it may lack the poet
ry Of motion of one of George W. Child's
notices, it is certainly as touching:
The stalwart form of our genial friend
and fellow citizen, Abe Guaner, is stiff
and cold, owing to a little trouble he had
with Bite Off Ransom. 1t is not our
province to say which was right, but to
voice the general sentiment OF regret
that Abe is no more. AS mixer OF
drinks he reached up into the artistic,
and the patrons Of the M0nteZuma all
recognized the tact. Abe will be buried
with all the bullets which he received in
the encounter, none Of which, we are
glad to say, are in his back, as it is not
deemed necessary to get them out. The
best people in the town will unite in do
ing honor to his memory.
IL the deceased could have shaken"
with the writer across the dark ehasm
he certainly would have done it. The
next gem, we regret to say. does

ship that should exist between

Too little attention is given to the
consideration of candidates for the diff
fsrsRt village officers by the citizens of
Cheboygan. IL is only four days more
until our charter electiOn takes place
and neither party have made their nom
nations, and very little is known as to
who desires or will accept the different
Offices. This we do not believe is for the
best interests of the place. Voters shOuId
have sufficient time to carefully consid-
or the qualifications and compare tho
merits of the different candidates, and
this cannot be done under the present
regime. Cheboygan has been fortunate
in the past in thu selection Of men to
transact her business. and the admins
tration of affairs have been economically
and judiciously performed, but there is
no guarantee that this happy state of af-
fairs will last always. Bad mon are as
liable to come up for Office heie as else
where. and the present rule Of only max
ing the nominations one or two days be-
fore the election greatly enhances their
chances Of securing the position they
arc after. The light Of few more DAYS
shining upon candidates would not work
to tho detrlment Of worthy men but
would greatly tend 81 guard us against

THE SKIRMISHERS.

The Dispatch of last evening says ''The
Republican committee haven't any money to
speak Of" 1t may be that they don't want
to speak Of what they have, but if they
haven't any it isn't because they have not
been levying on the Republicans in this city
for the purpose of raising it. All day yes
terday committee of prominent ring bosses
of the Republican machine were skirmisf-
ing around over the city, calling upon pretty
much every man of the Republican persua-
sion with very earnest appeal to shell out to
the campaign fund. If the Republican
business men of the city took a sensible
view of the situation and refused to respond
to the entreaty of the ring managers they
are to be congratulated. Among the most
active solicitors of the campaign assess
ment committee were Mr.. DRIsCOLL of the
Pioneer Press, which is the organ of the
ring, Mr. UPHAM of Mr.. MERRIANf's Ma
tional bank, Mr.. AUERBACH of the Mer-
chants National bank, Mr.. LINDEKE and
Mr.. DEAN. 1t was a representative
body Of the kid-glove and silk-stocking ele-
ment who want other people to furnish
them money to crush the working men of
the city in order that the schemes of the
bosses can be carried into execution.
We apprehend that the Republican cam
paign committee will command all the
money they can use in this election. But
their money will accomplish nothing in this
contest. The honest laboring classes are
not to be bought. They know who are
their friends and they are going to stand by
them. The taxpayers of the city under
stand perfectly well that property will not
be benefited by being placed under the adj
ministratiOn of clique who only use pub
lie office for individual gain. Burnt chill
dren dread fire. Mr.. MERRIASI's exploits
in the public service are sufficient warning
to the people of this city to let him severely
alone in the future. The people of st.
Paul are not over anxious to build another
street railway for the purpose of benefiting
Minneapolis spectators. That kind OF
work belongs exclusively to Mr.. MERRIAM
and his ring.

DODGING THE ISSUE.

The Dispatch says that Mr.. MERRIAM
has not been a stakeholder in the street
railway for two years. This is an evasion
Of the point made by the GLOBE on yes
terday. We said that Mr.. MERRIAM was
stakeholder and director in the Street Rail
way company when as a member of the
legislature he engineered through that body
bill which robbed st. Paul of its valuable
franchise that was secured by ordinance No.
81, and placed into the pockets Of his rail-
way company thousands of dollars which
would not have gone there but for the pas
sage of that bill. That is the issue we
raised against Mr.. MERRIAM, and it is one
that his organs cannot meet squarely, for
the record is against him. Like the blood
stain upon the murderer's hand, it will not
wash out. He used his Office as the rep
resentative of the people to their detriment
in order to promote his individual III
terests. Is that the kind of man
whom the people Of this city want in con-
troll of their municipal affairs for the next
two years? We have reached crisis in

ABATTLE WITH THE BREEDS.

At last Gen. MIDDLETON has met the
half-breeds and their Indian allies and found
them foemen worthy of his steel, as APP
pears by the long list of casualties in the
GLOBE special from Clarke's Crossing this
morning. The troops were advancing on
the enemy's camp when he encountered
him in the bluffy and well-wooded country
some distance this side of Batoches. The
breeds and Indians were intrenched in
some houses, from which they were soon
dislodged by shells and solid shot from the
cannon, which were found to be of more
use than had been anticipated. Driven
from cover, the enemy sought shelter in a
friendly ravlne, from which they raked the
ranks of the troops with CALLING fire. For
militia the men stood up manfully against
the storm. The ravine was plowed with
shell and the atmosphere rendered sultry
for the enemy. At the time the courier
left the storm of shell and shot was
still raging. and the wounded were still be-
ing brought to the rear. Ii Is claimed BY
the commanding officer that the enemy is so
surrounded that escape is impossible. They
will. however, undoubtedly make desper-
ate defense TO the end. They could have
but little hope of clemency now that so
much blood has been shed. 1t is not made
clear in the dispatches that RrEL is with the
party; but If he is and should be captured
hanging will undoubtedly be his portion.
He will be charged with resisting the con-
stituted authorities of the government and
with the murder of mounted police and con-
stables. Death in the open field or igno-
minious fight will be his best policy. The
news that the beleagured barracks at Battle
ford have been relieved is gratifying. but
the condition of the Fort Pitt refugees in
Brave Bears camp is subject for grave
apprehension.

SUGGESTION OF THE AMER.

We are flatfooted sons of the soil, it is true,
And only our eyeballs are white;
And our rulers have found us naught better
to do
Than to worship their wisdom-and fight.
Yet fighting and worshiping grow some'at
stale
When they're both undiluted with rest;
And it's pleasanter work whiting out fence
rail
Than digging a sword in breast.
The Muscovite SEXES US by the right hand
And swears he is ever our friend
So long as we let him ride rough DER the land
And our necks in humility bend.
While Victoria murmurs, caressng our left,
That she'll deathess fidelity swear
If wen leave our black sweethearts of lovers
bereft
And help her to pommel the Bear.
Now, good friends are all very well in their
way,
And such friendship boon ought to be,
But I'd thank these, my ardent well-wishers,
to say
What good it is going to do me.
/ am grateful. of course, and feel honored-
much so;
That they're disinterested own;
But I'd rather that each his own 'taters would
hoe
And leave my row of turnips alone
