AN INTERESTING CONTEST.

During the last three or four years politi-
 cal contests in Brooklyn. New York, have
 been unusually interesting. It was in
 Brooklyn that the Independent movement
 first took shape, and the problem of munici-
 pal government has received much attention
 there, and not little has been done towards
 its solution.
 This year the voters of Brooklyn have four
 candidates for mayor to choose from. Dan iel D. Whitney is the regular Democratic nominee; General Isaac s. Catlin the candi date of the Republican city convention; John B. Woodward the choice of the Citi- zens' league, and Rev. Isaack Frink the pro- hibition candidate All the independents and reformers are doing their best for Wood ward, who has been identified with the Citi zens' league since it's beginning. Among his supporters are ex-Mayor Low, ex-Mayor Schroeder, Alexander Orr and Ripley Ropes. The growth of independence in Brooklyn is strikingly illustrated by the action of the Young Mems Democratic club. This club is an organization of progressive young men who have thrown their influence in favor of the best movements in their party. After the nominating conventions had been held and the candidates of the two parties were in the field, a minority in the club manifested a desire to help the regular Democratic nominees. A meeting was held the other night, which was largely attended. The issue was thoroughly discussed, and the friends of reform won 8 decisive victory, motion to endorse the candidate for mayor of the Democratic machine being defeated-92 to SO A mo- tion to support General Woodward, the h. dependent candidate, received even larger and although it lacked the two thirds vote which the clubs constitution re- Quires to constitute 8 formal endorsement, the whole moral influence of the larger and better portion of the organization will be exerted in General Woodward's favor This action is one of the most signi cant and hopeful developments of recent politics. The immediate and local bearing of the clubs course is extremely important, since it gives great impetus to the Inde- pendent canvass in Brooklyn and justifes the hope of non-partisan uprising which will elect General Woodward over the candi dates of both the Democratic and the Repub- lican machines.
 The Brooklyn reforn1ers are very hopeful and they are working vigorously. General Woodward, their candidate for mayor, is man worth working for. His quality is indi- cated by what he says in his letter of accep- tance, as follows: F'I am absolutely free from any obligation whatever, expressed or i'm piled, to any party or any man or any set of men. My only obligation is, and to the end will remain, to Brooklyn and Brooklyn alone"

A WOMAN AS A NACHINIST.
Egnerant of Mechanical Principles, But All Powerful With the Sewing Machine.

Ignorant of Mechanical Prlncip les,
 Hut All Powerful With the Sewing
 Machine.
 From the Chicago Ledgerl
 A woman don't know any more about mechanical principles than a man does about feeding babya but the manner in which she doctors up bulky sewing machine and makes it go, is one of the worlds great wonders that has not yet been put in the cat alogue with the other marvels. She never has the slightest idea what the trouble is, but her manner of taking the difficulty by the ear is about the same in all cases. She gets a hammer and pounds everything breakable for five minutes, without doing the slightest harm. Then she takes screw driver with the corners so broken off that it has point like gimlet, and pokes around until she gets it wedged fast somewhere. She jerks and pulls, pounds, tugs and pries in four directions at once; gets red in the face and white around the mouth; loses her temper and the concerns that hold up her back hair with considerable simultaneousness; gets her toes pinched under the treadle, and her apron wound tight around the main shaft, but just before she gets mad enough to swear, the screw-driver loses it's grip and comes out with a suddenness that results in two broken fin ger-nails and considerable battered up skin in the neighborhood of the knuekles. And then she jumps backward with a. rashness of impetuosity that upsets the baby's crib and breaks the milk bottle, as the poor dis couraged woman squats with unstudied grace in the middle of the floor, and lifts up her voice in the plaintiff melody of prinordial man. But all things have an end, and so has her song of woe. She jumps up and gives the machine few shakes that makes the gearing rattle, pours lot of oil on the balance wheel and the business is done. The thing resumes it's stitching, and goes right along as smooth as prosperity, without any more kick. After a course of treatment like this, any sewing machine can be guaranteed to run equal to $2 watch for four months.

Farm and Garden.

Never frighten sheep.
 Introduce better males.
 Don't winter the poor hens.
 Soiling crops should have rich land.
 Defer rolling the wheat field until spring.
 Use small potatoes for feed, not for seed.
 Young stock needs a seperate feeding place.
 Filthiness of stables is the root of many disorders.
 Different animals do better for mingling together somewhat.
 Swine uneasy over dirty, wet bed do not afford pleasing sight.
 Sell pork when butchered; there is always some risk in curing it.
 Flowing under clover sod is only another name for manuring the land.
 To clear out rats put crystals of copperas in every rat hole and scatter some about the corners of the places where they trouble. This is greatly preferable to poison, which often leaves them dead between walls and in their holes.
 Good farmers rarely sell off straw; it pays better to turn it into manure. There is a big difference in the size of the manure pile by spring, whether bedding is freely used or otherwise. Beside the increase in mauures, the matter of greater comfort and warmth to the animals by the of plenty of warm, clean bedding is worth a good deal. We have observed that sick animal that cannot be induced to lie down in any other way, will take to bed of clean, bright straw. This shows that good bedding is appreciated by dumb animals.

agent when the humming was going on, while at times when the wire was evidently charged there was no sound. The humming was accompanied by rapid vibration of the wire.
 Not long ago the doctors discovered the existence of muscular disease, due to the ex- cessive strain of bicycle riding; now they have given the name of tennis elbow to a painful ailment which is sufficiently explain ed by it's title. While playing, intense pain is suddenly felt in the right elbow, the arm drops to the side, and take or service is inn possible for periods varying from six weeks to six months Such cases, it now appears, very frequent. One sufferer ascribes it to rheumatism, and another found he had fractured 8 small bone. The former tried rheumatic medicine and the latter poultces, and both got well; but the majority of the patients find that rest is the best remedy, and, indeed, the only remedy.
 The new South has made very rapid pro gress in material prosperity during the last five or six years. For instance, the assessed valuation of property in that region has in creased s90O, 100000 since 1879. Eleven thousand miles of new railroad have been built since 1879. With the improvements of old roads, this involved an expenditure of $500,0O0,000. The cotton mills have doubled in number and capacity since 1880, and are still rapidly increasing. The cot ton seed oil mills have quadrupled in num- Der and capacity since 1880, and now have capital of S11, ,QOO, ,O0o. In four years the production of pig iron has doubled, and A. 100000 tons of coal were added to the aggre- gate in the same period. The phosphate rock, we'll known as valuable fertilizer, mined on the seacoast of South Caro lima last year exceeded that of 1880 by m ore than 200, ,O0O tons.
 In the recent publication entitled f'The Worlds Lumber Room Se1ina Gage ampli- fies and illustrates the ancient saw, showing that nothing is or need be absolutely lost. The slag from our great furnaces, once pos tive obstruction and burden, is now used for concrete walks railway ballast, founda tion stones and the finest spun glass. Coal tar, which was similar dead weight on the hands of the gas makers, is made to yield up it's rich stores of carbolic acid, napthaline, benzole and parafne, from which are ob- tained the most delicate scents of perfumery; and more valuable still are the rich aniline dyes it contains, now used in producing the most brilliant colors of our woolen and silk goods. Sawdust produces sugar, regular article of manufacture in Norway, and the sugar is turned into brandy; oxalic acid, charcoal and potash come from the same source. Cotton seed, heretofore thrown away, is used to fatten cattle in this country and in England. Natures largest lumber room is, however, required for her dust "Were the atmosphere free from it we would have no reflected light, and our days would be passed beneath a sky of inky blackness and in atmosphere which would give back but dull glimmer, without glitter or color. More than this; without dust we should probably have fog, no clouds and rain D

What piece of work Is man how noble in reason how infinite in faculties in form and moving how express and admirable in action how like an angel ill apprehension how like god the beauty of the world the paragon of animals s!-SHAKEsPEARE.
 How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind ! How infinite the scope of mans power if his f;.cul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- trOyed?
 As s'aII men arc born free and equal," as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conceded question. To re- store it is an impossibility, as long as people persist ill immOr- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals.
 To this end we offer to the pub- lie remedies which have done more gOed, accomplished better results in OverthrOWing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is all infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is a reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Pr0stratiOn, Depression caused by OverwOrk, etc.
 These remedies are extensive ly prescribed by physicians, 8 recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a larger sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WAITS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. AS positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon applica- tiOn.
