Wire Nails.

The nail business has Teen rev.
olutionized by this invention. In
stead of being cast IN the old fash
ion, nails are now made of drawn
wire, chopped off, sharpened at
the point and fattened into a head.
The invention enables the artificer
to make a variety of nails suitable
to every purpose.
Barbed nails that cannot work
out may be made.
Then there are fiat, oval, blue,
black or bright nails, bridge nails
and those for slate roofing and car
finishing. The iron or steel can
be prepared in any way iirthessoft
wire beforehand. These nails are
greatly superior to the old fash
ioned kind.

oeen so widely quoted recently.
Speaking Of his paper the other

This is all right, but there isn't
much money in it; for you see
there are only $50 people all told
in Estellipe, and when you deduct
from these the women, children

have very large subscription list

of fun between times. | owe all the

An Old Printer.

Last Friday, in company with a
friend, we walked into the Palmy-
ra Spectator Office, and there be-
held sight we shall never forget.
AT a case distributing type, stood
an old man in his eightieth year.
This old gentleman was Mr.. Sosey
the editor and proprietor of the
Spectator, one of the best country
weeklies. We have seen young
fellows, twenty-five years old,
claim to be old in the business.
We have felt that we ourself had
been long in the editorial harness.
But compared with this hoary vet
eran we are but beginner in the
business. Mr.. Sosey has been a
printer for 81 years. Think Of that
you boys who have been in the
business for fifteen or twenty years.
Forty-seyen years ago he estab-
lished the paper he is now con.
Quoting. That was before a great
many of the editors of to-day were
born. And he began to set type
when our fathers were little boys
He is probably one of the oldest
printers living. And we doubt il
there is another man Of his age il
the United states that works at the
case. OF course he is not obliged
to do this work. He does it be,
cause he wishess6 Friday he sale
he was helping the boys out, SC
that they could SO to the fair. The
old mans eye is bright, and his
mind and voice are clear. 1t is ,
rare treat to talk with him. Tha
the dear old man may be with u:
yet a long time is our earnes
wish. And may his last years be
filed with peace and with content
May Gods favor be with him al
ways.-Qiuncy Journal.

Keep in good humor. 1t is not
the great calamities that emhitter
existance by any means; it iss the
petty vexations, the small jealous
les, that make the heart heavy and
the temper sour. Don't let them.
Anger is pure waste of vitality;
it is always disgraceful, except in
very rare cases, when it is kindled
by seeing wrong done to another;
and even that noble rage seldom
meuds the matter. Keep in a good
humor.

To live on your own convictions
against the world is to overcome
the world. To believe that what
is truest in you is true for ell; to
abide by thatand not be over-anx-
ious to be heard or understood or
sympathized with, certain that at
last all must acknowledge the same,
and that while you stand firm the
world will come round to you
that is independence. To enter
into the world and there live firm

own conscience-tha5 is Christian

In writing be careful to write
the names of people and places
clearly. A name is something
that no one can guess at success
fully. If there are any wsrds writ
ten carelessly or illegibly by cor
respondents, they are, in two
thirds of the cases, proper names.
If there is anything that makes an
individual mad it is to have his
name misspelled or distorted into
something else, yet, in ninety-fve
instances out of a hundred, it is the
iault of the person writing the
name.

Cinclnatti, Nov. 3.-The start
ling fact of the defeat of Speaker
John G. Carlisle was foreshadow-
ed in the returns received last
night. From the returns received
to-day, Speaker Carlisle himself
this afternoon comedies his defeat.
His successful competitor is Geo.
FL. Thoebe, native Kentuckian,
though of foreign parentage. He
is an artist in wood carving and
has been employed in Mitchell &
Rammelsberg's furniture manu-
featuring establishment. He is
described as an agitator fit to be 6
leader among workingmen. There
was so little general knowledge Of
the extent OF his popularity thai
no one dreamed OF his election. L
was said however, by the Coving
ton Commonwealth a few days be
fore the election that Thoebe hat
astrong following among the work
ingmen based largely upon thei
objection to the free trade leading
of Speaker Carlisle, and it was in
store. Other papers indicate tha
Mr.. Carlisle suffered seriousl,
, from Democratic disaffection
growing out of his course in rela
ton to Government appointment
in his district.
