anxious to engage in business here

the country tributary to il are going
elsewhere. The list OF disappointed
applicants within the past three
months is large one and it includes
banks and wholesale houses in many

portunities sought in vain here are

A CONTRIBUTION TO HISTORY.

The December number OF the ko,gh
american Repiew contains an article on
Hon. James G.. Blaine contributed by
General w. T. Sherman. When one
public man writes a magazine
article on another public man who is
still living and still prominent in pub
Tic affairs, 1t Is natural to suppose that
he has something OF real interest to
contribute to political history. Especi-
ally is this the case when the man who
is written of is not at the time a candi.

other reason brought into unusual
prominence. Evidently il there is
nothing OF an extrancous nature 10
make the article timely il il fair to
suppose that the writer has something
Of interest to the public which he de.
sircs 20 say
This reasonable expectation is not
disappointed in this instance. General
sherman makes an important contri-
button 10 recent political history. On
reading the first pages OF his article
indeed, one is at a loss to know why il
was written. II opens with a number
OF important personal "reminiscences
Of the author, speaks Of the hoyhood
of Mr.. Blaine and General Thomas
Ewing. and drifts into the relation OF
an incident IN which Mr.. Blaine
showed the generosity and nobility Of
his character Ivy his efforts for the re
lief OF the daughter OF President
Zachary Taylor There Is nothing
in all this. however, TO Justify the ap
pearance % the article at this time
IL is not until the latter portion OF III,
article is reached that the reason Tot
its writing becomes apparent.
General Sherman's object is 20 prove
that MIR. Blaine neither sought nor de
sired the Republican presidential nom
nation 10 1885, He does this by publish

HOW BANDANAS ARE MADE.
The Quaint Political Talismsn
Once a Mystery Of India.

From tho Boston Globe.
For many years the once fashionable
bandana handkerchief, now destined to
again come to the front by the action of a
political convention, was great puzzle to
the western dyers.
Formerly they were all imported from
India, and the method of producing the
white spots on uniform red ground was
a secret beyond the knowledge of the
English colorers. Now ii is we'll known
that the handkerchief was tied in places
while being colored, so the dye could not
reach the protected parts; when released
the white spots reveal themselves. -
When the discharge process" of figur-
ing dyed cloth was invented by Koechlin,
it was adopted by Glasgow manufacturers
with such success that goods we're pro-
bandanas from India. The business
extended so that Glasgow has become
celebrated the world over for the manu-
faoture of bandanas.
The cloth intended for bandanas is
generally dyed uniform red or blue, and
dozen pieces are laid one over another
and wound upon a roller placed upon
bearings behind press of peculiar con-
struction. 1t consists of a bed-plate
mounted on hydraulic gear and an upper
plate.
The printing is done by two stout
plates of lead fastened to the upper and
lower plates of the press. the lead plates
have depressions cut in them, designs
corresponding to the figure or designs to
be put on the groundwork. The places in
the plate must be exact, so that when the
two plates are brought together the de-
pressions in one shall fit those in the
other.
When all is ready the workman lays the
cloth on the lower plate, and the upper
and lower plates are brought together
with a pressure of from 200 to 300 TONS
All of the cloth is now tightly pinned, ex
cept what comes between the depressions
in the plates. Communicating with these
depressions are openings through the
upper plate, and when the pressure is or
a tap is opened and stream of bleac hing
fluid is let into the openings of the uppel
plate and drains through the cloth and
out by holes in the lower plate.
To quicken the action of the liquid and
make it penetrate thoroughly, the ex-
posed parts of the cloth, force pump is
used; as the liquid passes through IL
disolves the connection between the
mordant and coloring matter, carrying of
the latter and leaving the parts Of cloth
acted upon pure white.
A press with one man to attend it is
capable of producing $50 handkerchiefs q
day, and it can be seen that the designs
can be made as varied as desired. The
effect of the adoption of this process was
to greatly reduce the cost of bandanas
and bring them into general use until
