Something about Thomas V. POwderiy,
Grand Master of the knights
of Labor.
Elniira IN. W Telegram.

Iliiirh Wv. l. IeieSrhih.
One of the greatest men of the
present day, and man who is doing
more to elevate the toiling masses
than any individual, is Thomas V.
Powderly, the head and front of the
Knights of Labor. He is singularly
earnest man, and though he might
have used his position to accumulate
thousands of dollars, he is still poor.
He was for six years mayor of Scran-
ton, Pa, and was urged to run for
congress, but declined, preferring to
give his whole time to the vast labor
organization with which he is so
prominently identified. Twice with
in a year he has made Jay Gould
come to terms, but lis demands are
far from exacting, and all his meas
ures are tempered with honesty and
strong common sense. For the com
ing year he believes that there will be
a better understanding between Ia
Dor and capital, that each side will
feel more like making concessions,
and that there will be less bitterness
in the various attempts to adjust their
several difficulties. And then he gets
right down to the marrow of the
thing by saying: II find that the
men who are cranky, obstinate and
and unreasonable, both on the side of
the employer and the employe, are
the men who seldom read the news
papers. Men who do not read the
papers, and are not acquainted with
the drift of public sentiment, are the
men, be they employers or working
men, who will not come together and
talk matters oxer, and be willing to
point or two. The power
of the press is of great avail in this
particular. If every laborer and
would regularly read
some good newspaper, and become
better posted on the topics of the
times, l feel certain shat there would
be much less trouble"

THE WAY OF THE RAIN.

I heard an old farmer talk one day,
Telling his listeners how
In the wide new country, far away
Tho rainfall follows the plow.
"As fast as they break it tup, You see,
And turn the heart to the sun,
As they open the furrcws deep and free,
And the tillage is begun,
".The earth grows mellow, and more and
more
1t holds and sends to the sky
A moisture it never had before,
When its face was hard and dry.
"And so wherever the plowshares run
The clonds run overhead,
And the soil that works and let's in tho sun
With water is always feG."
l wonder if the old farmer knew
The half of his simple word.
Or guessed the message that. heavenly true,
Within it was hidden and heard?
1t fell on my ear by chance that day,
But the gladness fingers now,
To think it is always Gods dear way
That the rainfall follows the plow.

jersey Weather-TIore.

That which have heard, and have
recorded from time to time, appears TO
have originated where now, or where it
lately was, in use. To a great extent, |
believe tito be original with the descend
ants of the immigrants that settled Cen
trail New Jersey and the country gener-
ally about Philadelphia; but a portion OF
it, very possibly, was derived from the
Indians.
At present, a portion of this weather
lore Us repeated as nursery rhymes, and
it is due to this that it has been preseTv-
ed to the present time; and, so far as |
have been able to determine, not one of
the rhymes or sayings has ever been
published. That among the earliest
papers and almanacs OF the country
there may be found some of them, or
slightly different versions of the same,
is probable, but my searchings therefor.
in the larger libraries, have not resulted
in any such discoveries.
The main interest, however, in con-
nectio1 with weather-lore. is to deter
mine whether they do or do not correct
ly represent the relationship of the ami
mails mentioned to the given condition
of the weather. In other words. is the
zoology of the weather-lore misrepresent-
ed or not? ] am forced to declare that,
as rule, those who by virtue of their
ingenuity framed these rhymes and
brief sayings did not correctly interpret
nature.
Very many of the early English
settlers were, no doubt. excellent OBJ
servers; but they appear. at times, to
have more desired to be looked upon as
weather-prophetS than as naturalists,
and strove to have glib nonseDse-sayings
pass current as evidence OF their wis
| dom, instead of taking pains to correctly
| interpret the course OF nature and deter
| mine the relation of animal life to its
| environment.
Often, during my rambles in the
neighborhood, have questioned the few
remaining descendants of the original
| settlers concerning the local weather.
| proverbs, and / find the impression is
still prevalent that the purport of all
these saying is substantially correct, and
| therefore, to 4 great degree. that my
neighbors are laboring under erroneous
| impressions. as there not wisdom in a
multitude of counselors?" they ask; and
|, standing alone, am voted the fool
while they pose as sages.

by bit, as have gathered it from time
to time, and discuss its merits. if it ha.
any, and also its absurtlities.-D C. G

An Adding Machine.

1t is announced that C. g. Spalllding,
of Springfield, Mass, after twelve years
of laborious application, has perfected
an adding machine which is marvel
of ingenuity and precision 1t is de-
scribcd by the Springfield Republican
as cased in wooden box about eight
inches square and three deep. On lift
ing the cover the interior is seen to hold
an enameled white surface on which are
two dials and which show the brass key
board in the lower left hand corner.
The larger dial of the two is on the left
of the machine and is divided into 100
sections. The rim of the smaller dial is
cut into twenty sections. The hand
which moves about the first dial is called
the unit pointer. That which moves
about the smaller one is called the hun
treds pointer. A little finger play on
the brass key board makes the object of
the dials and the reason of the pointers
names quickly understood. The keys
on the board are numbered from one to
nine and are placed IN regular order,
but also in two rows-2. 4, 6 and be-
ing above and the odd numbers below.
The KEY is brass upright, and as the
finger draws on it spring allows it to
slip back towards the lower end of the
box. The pulling of each key on the
board sends the unit pointer along on
its journey around the dial as many
points as there are units in the number
of the key. Pull the KEY, and the
dial set at D goes to 9. Pull the same
key again and the unit pointer moves to
Is. Pull the l, :. KEYS now. and the
pointer goes eonsecutiyelv with hop,
skip and jump 10 "A. When the unit
pointer, keeping up its agile athletics,
has reached its starting point again.
there is a quick little motion on the
right hand dial. The pointer then has
dotted and gone one" The machines
internal clockwork 10 claimed to be
more accurate than q human head can
hope 10 be. 1t isn't troubled with
malaria, nor is it ever larger in the
morning than it was the night before.
All the accountant has to do is TO run
his eye up and down the columns, pull
ing each respective key as he reaches
| the corresponding figure. 4 day is
sufficient In which to learn the key
board. and the motion of the hand
quickly becomes almost involuntary. II
the machine fulfills lis promise it ought
to be boon TO clerks IN hunting for an
elusive balance.
