Cnr,linnl Ireland.

Since the return Of Bishop Ryan from
Rome rumor has gained currency in
church circles that another Cardinals hat
will come to Amer.cA at no distant day.
The names OF the dignitary upon whom
this high ecclesiastical honor will be con-
ferred has not leaked out, but a prominent
priest. who is in the closest confidence
with Bishop Ryan, in speaking of the mat
ter. gave il rs his opinion that ii the re-
port Is true, Archbishop Feehan, Of Chi
cago. or Bishop Ireland, of Minnesota,
who has Just been created an archbishp,
will be selected. The Pope. it is said, was
very favorably impressed with Bishop Ire
land, who spent some months In Rome
last year, and il would not, therefore, be
surprising, il st. Paul's eloquent temper
ance advocate were singled out for still
higher honors than the archiebiscopate.

shafts and conference was held with the
superintendent, Mf. W. l.. Gidtlers. They
struck for $l.50 per tom they were only

tha bone or shale and that the company
pay ~ sharpsning the tools, md also
complained OF the weights made by the
colnpanys weighers. Mr.. Gidders offered

The fact that the Burlington road is un.

are largely dependant on the road have
been slow tc speak Of delays and damages,
but they are not all silent. Ravenna
merchant when asked his experience said
goods from Lincoln were from eight to
twelve days ON the road. A car Of salt
from Chicago had been on the road over o

merchant in Lincoln stated they could not
get goods over the b. 4 M. Side tracks

Must Pay, but Cannot.

James, Donohoe pleaded guilty 10 Q
charge Of bastardy in the district court at
Omaha last fall. The court ordered him
to pay $l25 year for the period Of fifteen
years for the support Of the illeGitimate
child, and in dsfalt Of such payment he
was TO stand committed until he complied
with the courts order. Donohoe was
unable TO give the required bond and has
been in prison since last November. He
took the poor debtors oath and applied to
Judge Wakefield for his release from Jail.
This application was not granted. Dono-
hoe then applied to the supreme court for

statute providing assessment and i'm

FROM THE TERRITORY.
Scene on the Train-Territorial Live
Stock-An Interesting Case
The Fair-Etc,

A public speaker made the statement
recently that there really were no issues
between the two dominant parties in the
coming campaign. There is one issue,
and one that ought to enlist the
attention Of every loyal citizen from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and that is the
admission Of Dakota to the sistsrhood of
states. The bill organizing the territory
was passed March 2, 1861, SO that for
twenty seven years We have served as vas
sails. In the war for the preservation of
the union. which was begun O month later,
Dakota furnished two full ,mpanies Of
cavalry. The children Of these men, born
after the war was over, have grown to man.

to our personal knowledge, have families
OF four bright children, and still have no
voice in this government. Dakota has

some OF whom, with the writer, are near
ing As years of age, who have never cast q
ballot for president Of the United States,
who fought the battles aud endured the
privations of soldiers life for four long
years to whip the fellows back into the
union who are now doing their level best to
keep us out. This is issue enough for any
one campaign. Our enterprise, industry,
frugality. intelligence, mines, wealth, rail-
roads, rivers, churches, school houses I'VE
have too many of these to suit our south
ern friends), in fact everything with vir-
tue in it, has been brought to their atten-
tion. but it's no 60; their actions say: you
can't come in. We noticed that Central
City people ordered l,000,U 100 feet Of lum-
ber within twenty -four hours after the Are.
with which to rebuild. Compare this with
the constituency of some Of our southern
friends (?) who lie or sit on the sunny side
OF log cabin waiting for the sun to warm
them, being too lazy to build fire. Vol
umes could be written on the subject. The
fact is, we are outstripping every territory
on the continent and many of the states,
and when we see the shameful proceedings

guage of one Of old, How long, o! Lord,

Short In His Accounts.

Legal proceedings have been instituted
against Il. b. Tussey. ex-clsrk of the dis
trict court of Adams county, and his
bondsmen for $4,000, covering an alleged
deficiency in his accounts Of over 5000.
Allowable credits will probable reduce the
amount one-half. Tussey failed to get
the republican nomination last fall, ran
independent, and suffered an inglorious
defeat. When the term expired he lay
sick in bed unable to settle. The matter
was postponed from time to time awaiting
his recovery. His illness continued and
rumors were started that there was short
age in his accounts. An investigation by
the board confirmed these suspicious.
Tussey has many friends who honored him
repeatedly with positions Of trust. He has
. splendid family. His property is in his
wife's name. He lived freely and was ex-
tremely convivial in his habits. The con-
dition Of his affairs 10 not attributed to any
act Of dishonesty, but rather to reckless
ness and incspacity from too mucn drink.

English manufacturers of sugar
were for long time disinclined to
the use of the centrifugal machine al
though so early and eagerly adopted
in the United States, where it origin
ated, and now its popularity is we'll
known. In both countries, at the
present time, the saccharimetcr is a
favorite instrument for determining
the strength of raw sugar, its opera
tions in this respect being well nigh
marvellous. 1t is based, in word up
on the scientific fact that beam of
polarized light, in passing through a
solution of given strength of pure
cane sugar in water, is rotated or twist
ed toward the right to certain and
uniform extent, and the realtive extent
to which similar solution of any
other sugar, under the same condi-
tons, rotates the light, indicates the
relative purity and crystallizing
power of that sugar. The arrange
ment of lenses in the instrument is
such that the operation in itself is
very simple, only requiring care, the
result being read in figures on scale
attached to the adjusting thumb
screw.-Ex.

Brushes.

The vegetable kingdom is largely
drawn upon for brush material. To
say nothing of brooms, there is grass
called Tampico, from the place of its
expectation, that is used in the max.
ing of hand scrubbing brushes. 1t is
a round fibre of light straw color
quite tough and elastic and possesses
the unusual quality of retaining its
rigidity however. much soaked it may
be in water.
Flattened steel wire with the temp.
err in, is used for fue-cleaning brushes
and for street and stable use. These
are so coarse and rigid that they
would be better designated as scrap
ers. But there is a wire brush that
is the very opposite of these. 1t is
made of steel or brass wire that is so
very fine that it goes quite beyond the
finest gauge made in the country. 1t
goes to what is known rs forty four
English gauge. Brushes made from
this are employed in the production
of a peculiar finish on silver. When
silver is used in plate, whether it is
solid or an external deposit, it is not
often compressed or hardened by any
mechanical means, except when it is
FURNISHED to make polish. The
satin finish" of plate or silver orna-
ments, so much admired of late years,
is produced by these brushes of fine
steel and brass wire. The brushes
are rotary and run at high velocity.
The effect Of their action on the soft
surface of silver is to raise the parti-
cles SO that they will reflect the light
as a polished surface will, but give a
soft, velvet retroactive light to the
eyes. This elegant effect is produced
by the soft wire brushes that feel un-
der the hand almost like cylinders of
down.
The common way -of fastening bris-
ties and hairs and Tampico grass in
brushes is with common pitch. which
is kept hot at convenient bench, and
is kept fluid by the ndmixtures of a
little tallow. The workmen grasps
from a bunch or pile of bristles few
in his fingers, doubles them over at
the middle, winds bit of fine Irvine
about the butt or end, dips that end
in the hot pitch, and presses the bunch
in hole in the wooden back Of the
brush to be. But better process is
wiring or twining; in either case: the
looped brush being held by wire or

A new explosive, more powerful
than dynamite and suggestively NAM
ed "hellhoffite," after one of its
two inventors, Messrs. Hellhoff and
Gruson, of st. Petersburg, has been
subjected to comparative trials with
other explosives. The experiments
showed that it acts more powerfully
than nitro-glycerine and that it may
be stored and transported with per-
feet safety as regards conclusion,
since it cannot be exploded either by
blow or shock nor by an open
fame. Hellhoffite is a solution of an
organic combination of naphthaline,
phenol, benzine, etc., in tuning nitric
acid. Its disadvantage consists in its
being volatile liquid and so requir-
ing to be stored in perfectly closed
vessels. 1t is exploded by igniting it
with illuminate of mercury.-Ex.
