and was called the ''double-ender." Be-
sides it's passengers, there were several
demijohas of whisky, boxes Of cigars,
and fruit. "Old Tecumseh" occupied
the center seat and his travelling suit was
covered with q linen buster. Before they
had gone five miles from town everybody
was covered with dust, and the soldier
could not be distinguished from any OF
his companions. The trip was q most
enjoyable one, and the general grew as
merry and mellow as any Of them, and
joined in their songs and story telling
with the greatest glee. Arriving at
Pentz, q wsyside place, they found
great crowd gathered to greet the dusty
travellers, and to have hand shake with
the veteran. There were loud calls for
speech from Sherman. Jumping upon
one of the seats OF the wagon he scraped
the dust from his eyes, raised his dusty
hat, made bow and threw kiss to the
ladies.

john, and throwing it upon his arm he
placed the "muzzle" t. his lips and took

A Story of Faith.

The conversation drifted to publish
ers, and he told me a pleasing little story
in which Mr.. Moore, publisher of the
Rural NeU- Yorker, was the benefactor.
A naturalist of considerable note resided
in Lancaster city at the time. He
owned little home, had a profession,
but was not rich in this worlds goods.
Mr.. Moore used to send TO him all queries
in connection with obnoxious insects,
etc. The naturalist would make draw
ing of the insect, give it's proper name,
explain it's habits, peculiarities, etc., all
of which would appear in the Rnral Ne,c-
Yorker. One Christmas morning the
naturalist said to his daughter: my
dear, there is turkey in the stove, to be
sure, but this twenty -five-cent piece is
all the money I have in the world. Not
a bright outlook, is it?' Presently a
needy neighbor dropped in to solicit
aims, and the naturalist promptly hand
ed her the quarter. He was big heart
ed man, devout christian, and with sub
lime faith in Providence. daughter,
the money will come back to me four
fold," he said. just then the postman
handed in a letter. The naturalist
opened it and found in it a check for
$50. It was from Mr.. Moore, who wrote
in substance: "You have been very kind
in preparing those articles for us from
time to time. You, no doubt, regard it
as "a labor Of love- but we must ask you
to accept this check, not az complete
compensation, but IS slight expression
of our appreciation of the value of your
work." "There, Mary, what did I tell
your the old naturalist cried, his eyes
filing with. tears. This is a true Incl
dent, and should the Lancaster daiies
copy it they will have no trouble in sup
plying the neturalist's name

"Why, certainly" he replied; "Taylor

Then they laughed q little, INGRAM

"But, Charley" she continued, I'm

Many chronic cases OF stomach troubles
have already found its effects as a radical
cure, complete. Those employing its viz
tues will be Immediately relieved of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and all maladies di-
rectly affecting the digestive apparatus.
Many persons supposed to be suffering
from some dreaded disease, but who in
reality are chronic dyspeptics, need just
such mineral composition as this spring
affords. This spring also has a direct infu-
ence over liver complaint. Being of saline
nature it unloads the lower bowels, thereby
stimulating the portal system and carrying
away the engorging detritus, so detrimental
to the liver, which organ influences to an
unlimited degree the perfect standard of
good health. Persons suffering from bill
liousnees, headache, bad taste in the mouth,
and sensations Of oppression in the chest
and bowels, will surely obtain relief by use
ing this mineral water.
The Calico spring is indi cated in kidney
diseases. Obstinate cases of nephritis have
besn, and are being, greatly benefited by
its employment. Even Bright's diseases
succumb to its wonderful influence, as those
afflicted will testify who have drank of its
waters. Persons suffering from blood dis
orders would do well to use this water freely,
both internally and as hot baths. There is
curative agency contained therein, which,
when better known, will be heralded as
king of blood purifiers, and which this

to explain to them the doctrine OF thl

The Manufacture of Plush.

The manufacture of plush, which
has hitherto been made exclusively in
foreign countries, has recently been
begun by q firm in Pawtucket, r. /.
A start was made four years ago, but
only within a few months have the
goods been put on the market. More
than three years were spent in expert.
menting in their machinery, and even
vet the business is not entirely per.
fected. New methods are constantly
being adopted and fresh improvements
made. The company was hindered in
it's enterprise by ignorance of wen the
kind OF machinery employed in this
branch of manufacture across the
water. A representative of the firm
was sent to Europe, when the project
was first formed, but he experienced
great difficulty in obtaining admission
to the plush mills, and in many cases
was completely unsuccessful. Almost
the only result of his trip was thepur.
chase of a plush loom, anda few stray
ideas obtained under the greatest diff.
Guilty. The loom was shipped at once
to Pawtucket, and experiments were
begun upon it. These extended over
mor than three years, and are
still being carried on. Flattering sue.
cess has attended this experimenting.
From this single piece OF machinery
the whole system of manufacture had
to be evolved. But the loom has
been improved upon, the other neces-
sary machinery has been worked out
and constructed, and in many re-
spects the new methods are claimedto
surpass in nicely and utility those of
the foreign manufacture. All this
work has been carried on with closed
doors, and even now none but en-
plOyes OF the firm are permitted with
in the room where the weaving and
finishing of the plush is performed. So
carefully was the secret guarded, so
quietly the work of experimenting and
perfecting carried on, that no one out
side the firm was aware of the new in
dustry that was being developed until
the fabric was placed in the market.
There are two or three other concerns
in various parts of the country ex-
p~erimenting in plush manufacture,
but the Pawtucket firm were the plo-
neers in the industry. Their pushes
are manufactured both for the car
and upholstery trades. The car
trade is now almost exclusively con-
trolled by foreign mills.-Philadel-

The greater uneasiness of labor in
the New Englshd manufacturing dis.
tricts is beginning to awaken general
attention. La Maine, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts, the boot and shoe
trade is affected morethsn any other.
In Rhode Island, where cotton and
wool manufacturing predominant, the
textileindustries are threatened. There
are hints of comprehensive demands
iorhigher wages throughout that state,
and of widespread strike in case OF
a refusal of tho employers TO yield. A
feeling of distrust prevails on all sides,
and this prevents active operations.
Arbitration is looked upon by many
as the only solution OF such difficulties,
and it viii probably be the resort OF
both sides ere long.
