The washburn 4 Mo,n Manuf.o,u 4, ),

The Washburn d Moen Manufacturing
Company of Worcester, Mass, is about
communicating the purchase OF 60 acres
OF land near Chicago, for tho purpose of
erecting factory there at cost OF not
less than 81 600, 900 which lie to give ON.
pioyment to at least ], 900 men. This is
good thing for Illinois, but II Is regarded
In Massachusetts as "another of the
many striking proofs we have had OF late
OF the way in which those who are repre-
ssnting New England in the halls of Com
gress are, by tina policy they are purnu-
ing, in effect kicking her industries out
side OF her borders" The Wash
burn q Moen Company is the largest iron
and stsel manufacturing concern in the
New England States. Six months ago
Philip Il. Moen went to Washington to
press upon Senator Hoar, his friend,
neighbor and political associate, New
England's crying need Of fiee coal and
ore aud cheaper pig-iron. II this need
were needed, he informed Mr.. HoRr, the
great manufacturing concern which he
represented would be able to continue its
business III Worcester. II motif New
England wers to continue deprived of
the natural advantages which lay at her |
door, then he aud his associates would |
havs no alternative but to pull up stakes
and move to section more favored by |
congressional legislation. The appeal
has not been needed and the Boston
Herald wants to know:
How long are the people OF Massachu-
sets to suifsr this utter disregard of their
lnterestsr There has thus far been In this
resi- eot blindness which is almost incom-
nrehensi 10. We have b sen told that sys.

A Curious Anasthetic.

A curious anasthetic used by the
Chinese has recently been made known
by DIR. U. Lambuth In his third annual
report Of the Soochow hospital. 1t is
obtained by placing a frog in a jar of
-four and irritating it by prodding 1t.
Under these circumstances il exudes a
liquid which forms a paste with the
-four. This paste dissolved in water
has well marked anesthetic properties.
After the finger has been immersed in
the liquid for a few minutes il can be
cut to the bone without any pain be-
ing felt. st. Louis Republic.

Avenged His Mothers Death.

A ~l7-year-old boy, whose mother had
suffered death and worse at the hands
If Hermanezillo Cllaves. a notorious
bandit, has been the means Of bringing
Chavez TO his end. Chavez had NAL
treated. robbed and killed the woman.
The boy, when he heard the manner OF
his mothers death. threw down the
implements with which he was working
on a coffee plantation, seized his ma
chete and declared he would never do
another days work until his mother
was avenged, and disappeared.
Ten days afterward he came to police
headquarters, and said he had discov.
cred the rendezvous of Chavez and his
~accomplices on an abandoned ranch a
few miles out from the city. He led
the troops to the place in the dead of
night. The bandits, finding themselves
trapped, surrendered without a shot.
Chavez was tried, convicted and shot.

Antiquity Of the Either.

The either is no child of these later
days. Quite the reverse. Tie ancient
Egyptians had an instrument which
they called a kinnor, and which in all
essential points was the prototype of
the either. This was some three thou
sand years ago, and from that time
down TO the present there has always
been an instrument in the hands of one
of the leading nations of the world that
was in most respects identical with the
either. In the time Of David and Sol
ONION the either vas played in the great
temple Of Jerusalem, and the ancient
Greeks valued their kithara very high
ly, and the names of Terpander of
Lesbos and Of Aristonikos of Chios
have come down to us as those Of vir-
tuosi on this either like instrument. -

4 Young Authors Good Fortune.

The experience Of Mr.. +. Eaton, the
winner of The Youths Companion
prize Of 81, 900 for the best story for
girls in the ecent competition, is strik-
ing illustration of the successes that
are occasionally won at a bound by
wholly unknown writer's of fiction. His
prize story, Way Out N the Prary
Kentry," which appeared in the me
mortal day issue of The Companion,
was the second short story he ever
wrote and the first one that he ever
submitted 10 a publisher. Mr.. Eaton
is 80 years of age, married and a law
yer by vocation. He enjoys a lucra-
tive practice at Clean, n. Y. tie place
of his birth, and is now serving his
seventh term as city attorney.
In his fifteenth year Mr.. Eaton re-
ceived a severe gunshot wound while
hunting pigeons, which deprived him
of the end of one finger and filled an
arm with bird shot. NJ the age of 10
he conceived the idea that a farmers
life would perhaps restore lis health,
and accordingly he went 10 Slsaneat-
eles, n. u. ''hired out" to a farmer,
and officiated as IA farm hand for six
months. There seemed to be so little
money in the ia ming business, how
ever, that he res ned. and in 1877 be-
gan the study of law at Olean. The
pecuniary rewards of a law student are
not usually great, and to swell his in
corne Mr.. Eaton went to Clerlont, Pa,
and taught school among the miners
for a time, keeping bachelors hall in a
little cabin. In 1850 he was admitted
TO the bar. Mr.. Eaton has always been
an omnivorous reader, and "A great adj

The State Agricultural Department.

The State Agricultural department
As stated in the GAZETTE the special joint
committee appointed 10 investigate the ex-
pendi!ulea ofthe Agricultural D. pa;tment
and the utility Of the same made their re-
port to the legislature on Tuesday. The
committee, after explaining the objects for
which the Board of Agriculture was forned'
ths manner Of appointing members OF the
board, &e, says:
The only member Of the board who re
ceives compensation beyond his actual ex.
penses is the Commissioner OF Agriculture,
Col. Tbos. Whitehead, and he is the only
member whose whole time is devoted 10
Official business. The other members, Of
course, must be closely attentive to their
private affairs, anG have but occasional op-
poyturity of considering the demands and
necessities of the Agricultural Department
For anything of praise or ceDsGre herein the
Commissioner of Agriculture should De con.
sidered as mainly responsible.
The committee then proceeds to consider
and review the work that had been done in
.be various branches Of the Agricultural
Department The committee, in referring
10 the immigration agent, states That
Judge Grattan, OF the Corporation Court
Of Staunton, is that officer; they ridiculed
the idea that his salary of 81 600 per snnum
and his annual expenses, amounting last
wear to 1882 and any year might be more, was
only charge on the State of S75 % par year,
and suggested that by such calculation the
five farms sold to immigrants or citizens.
might be very well calculated into 1000
Immigrants, with $4,000 apiece, and pro-
nounced his work proftless and expensive.
Touching the chemical department OF the
beard the report says:
"The anoiysis of fertilizers was the main
object Of this department Under the pres
ent law. without hny fault of the chemist,
this department was worse than useless.
Only such samples as were furnished by the
manufacturer or dealer were the snhjsct Of
official or published analysis. The most
honest dealer would give sample OF the
highest standard OF his goods, and dlshon
est dealer would SEIZE the opportunity OF
pslming off on the public dishonest sam
pIe. The tax on fertilizers was tax on
commodity, which only those engaged in ag.
riculture use, and the tax laid by this law
was peculiar burden upon them. The
present fertilizer law should be radically
changed
The report says the board out OF funds es-
racialiy appropriated for the benefit of aeri-.
cultural classes, had increased the salary of
the Commissioner Of Agriculture and bis
clerk, although the legislature had fixed
their salaries. They had created unneces-
aariiy the office of inspector and sampler,
when the samples were never the subject OF
an official analysis, and rarely aunlyzed at
all.
These expenditures were unnecessary and
yasteful and were none the less reprehensi-
Bile because OF an air of self interest and nep-
otism.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONTENTION The
Sunday school convention of the eighth
district OF Minnesota, consisting of the
counties OF Stearns, Douglas, Pope, Todd,
Sherburne, Mile Laos, Morrison and
benton, met in this city on Tuesday of
this week in the Methodist church with
a large attendance-there being about
nifty delegates present. The program as
presented to the readers of the HERALD
last week was carried out satisfactorily.
and great deal ofinformation and manv
suggestions of value were offered. The
proceedings were presided over by Geo.
ID. Hazard of St. Paul, assisted byD. H.
Mason OF Alexandria. Clergymen from
Little Falls, st. Cloud, Alexandria, Fer
gus Falls, Glenwood and other places
were present, and a large number of del
egates, many of them ladies, from The
several counties in the district. A num-
Der OF thoughtful papers were read and
discussed, and the result is a healthful
stimulation of Sunday school work in
the district. There remains a great
amount OF work to be done IN new fields
IN the district, and there is need of money
and voluntary labor in prosecuting the
work.

ELI PERKINS LEcrURE.-There is but
one Eli Perkins, and he delighted a fine
audience at the opera house on Wednes-
day evening. The hall was well filled
and for two hours he held the assemblage
without the slightest abatement of inter
est. 1t was something more than hu.
morous lecture, it was a philosophical
discussion of the subject of wit, humor,
ridicule and satire-what makes US laugh.
Upon this thread were strung many
bright gems of wit illustrative of the sub
ject. There were fights of oratory, pa.
thetic sketches, ridiculous illusions, an
ecdotes and descriptive scenes, which were
pure in tone and absolutely free from any
faint ofeven the suggestion of the coarse
and vulgar. 1t was as pure and spark
ling as spring water and quite as refresh
ing. The committee selected wisely, and
it is gratifying to know that the enter
tainment Melted a handsome surplus,
which will be used in venture in other
kindred fields.
