The organization of a Democratic Club in
Streator, La Sale, Peru, Mendoza, Earlville,
Marseilles, Utica, Seneca, Tonica, and all
the towns in this county should be attended
too at once. They cannot be organized too
early in the season, and if democratic success
is to be secured their immediate inception is
absolutely necessary. Ottawa has set the
example and nearly 1000 names adorn her
roster. Let the town committees attend to
this important matter at once.

a matter of surprise to man with tight

betoken relief. The Court seemed to
consider that the occasion was being

AUGUSTA BUERHoEFFER,


An inmate of the county asylum for many
years, was, through the Intervention of Mrs.
Bridget Wolfe, brought before the court on
Monday upon petition for the appoints
ment of congervator. She is about 30
years old, and the daughter of Professor
Buierhoeffer, who prior to the German
instruction of 1912 was at the head of one
of the most prominent universities of the
German empire. He fled the country
after Its disastrous end, and came to this
country, where he was later hunted up by
Mr.. Hegeler OF La Sale, by request of
Mrs. Hegeler's father, also Professor in a
German University, who was close friend
of Buierhoeffer. The latter died in Green
county, Wis, about two months ago, leaving
farm in trust for his demented daughter,
who had always been week-minded, but
whom betrayal placed even farther from
hope of recovering her reason. Her
brother, it is alleged, has been attempting
to hush up his fathers death, in order to
keep the knowledge away from Augustus
friends and retain the property himself
by declaring her dead. NJ. I. Moloney
was appointed conseryator, and will see
that her rights are observed.

Can Your Toy Swim?

Can your boy swim? No? Then do not
trust him in any sort of boat until he has
learned the art, and feels as much at home
in the water as upon dry land. You
might just as well send him out alone
into a crowded street before he had learned
to walk. He might possibly creep along
all right, and reach home alive, or some
body might pick him up and care for him,
but the chances would not be in his favor.
So in boating the boy who cannot swim
may get along very comfortably for q
while, and not suffer from this defect in
his education, but the time will assuredly
come when he will have cause to bitterly
regret it. 1t is one of the simplest things
in the world, too, and can be learned in
three or four intelligently directed lessons,
such as can be had many city swimming
school or from the experts in any country
Village. By al Eeans talk swim to your
boy before you talk boat, and stipulate as
one of the conditions of his having boat
that he shall first be able to swim quar-
ter of mile without resting. .-Harper's

THURSDAY EVENING" SEPTEMBER 1885,
Method Of electric writing.

A small needle is vibrated to and fro by
the alternate currents Attached to the
end of the needle is siphon about the
hundredth part of an inch in diameter,
through which ink flows constantly. The
point of the siphon or pen rests on strip
of paper which is automatically pulled
under it, and as the needle vibrates tho
pen marks the vibrations in zigzag lines
on the paper. The operator reads the
signals off as they pass before him and
writes them on the usual blanks, whilo
an attendant coils up the paper strip and
files it away. There is no noise as with
Morse instrument, and no calling"
The paper goes along continually and
when the operator at the other end of the
cable has message to transmit he goes
right ahead with it. Tho sending opera
tor sits to the right of the receiver and
manipulates two keys side by side, one
for the positive and the other for the
negative current There is no sounding
instrument except the keys, and tho
operator has no means of knowing how
well he is doing, except that when it does
not reach the other end distinctly tho
sending operator there notifies the re-
ceiver al this end, who tells his associate
where to repeat from.
A Morse operator unacquainted with
cable work would think tho sending
operator was merely drumming on the
keys, as there appears to be no system
about it to the uninitiated. York

Some Curious Garden Designs.
The art of the florist has made wonder
full advances of late. Thousands of per
sons have visited the Danvers Mass hos
pital grounds the last few weeks. The
object in view by the many strangers is
to see the marvellous flower beds designed
and arranged by the florist and gardener,
Etore Tassinari, which are now in primo
condition and rival anything of their kind
In the United States.
The largest design Is a Chinese pagoda,
seventeen feet high, with dome sup
ported by six pillars, and an archway be-
meath high enough to pass under without
STOPPING. There are three fountains and
thirty varieties of plants. The front Of
the base has calendar of growing plants
in portable boxes and the back a shield,
flags and draperies Florists from far and
near have pronounced this design the best
they ever saw. A solar clock or sun dial
attracts much attention, as it accurately
tells the time Of day by pole of growing
plants placed as an angle of AZ degs. and
pointing to the north star. The shadow
falls on floral numerals in the rim Of a
horseshoe shaped bed of plants. There
are numerous beds of lesser note, and
several photographs have been taken CT

It is well known that the nitrite Of
amyl possesses the power of causing In
sensibility very quickly in a human being
breathing its fumes. The effect is cquiva-
lent, temporarily. to paralytic stroke.
1t is very cheap and plentiful, and Mr..
Edward Weston, the electrician, proposes
to use shells filed with this chemical In
stead of gunpowder. He argues that
few gallons of this nitrite dashed on the
deck of a warship would soon render her
crew helpless. Tho most powerful iron
clads would be even more vulnerable than
the light cruisers, for they would be suck
Ing down great draughts of air through
their artificial ventilators, and the odor
would thus rapidly permeate the whole
