ing, there being no shafting along the
west side. The engine used is an Erie
City automatic cutoff, of thirty-hve
horse power.
Two rival cotton gins occupy the first
space below the engine room. There are
the Cotton Bloom gin, manufactured
by the Standard Manufacturing company
of Connecticut: Outlet Gin company of
Louisiana. When the power is applied
and the machines running they are al
ways surrounded with crowd of admir-
ing spectators.
SnodgraSs & Cade. the Avenue planning
machine men and South Bend Door
manufacturers have some specimens of
their work in narrow place just below
the HofheinZ wagon, but it is busy little
place, as their turning lathe man makes
the Splinters fly during the running hours
and has always an interested crowd COM
peting for the fancy things which his
lathe turns out. 1t is one of the main at
fractions of machinery hall.
A. HeuSinger has his exhibit of agricul-
tural implements, stoves and hardware
just to the south of the turning lathe.
The Deerng Self-binder and mower, Rock
Island plowS. Moline wagons, Orr
Painter " Cos stoves, heating. crOckery
and ranges. Hooking Valley corn shelters
and feed cutters, and the Buckeye hay
rake make up very well arranged and
quite artistic exhibit.
The Staacke Bros carriage and wagon
display. and the cream separator of the
De Law. company are all that remain on
the east side of the hall. The Staacke
Bros collection of carriages is very COM
plete and some of the vehicles elegantly
trimmed. Phaetons, gigs, carts, buggies,
democrats. SurrieS and delivery wagons
make up one of the best carriage dis
plays ever made in the state.
The De Laval cream separator is Of
Swedish make. a foreign patent. 1t takes
the cream from the fresh milk as it comes
from the COW and will yield p percent
more cream than can be produced by any
natural process. The process is centrifu-
gal motion purely. the machine having
1890 revolutions per minute. and throwing
out the cream. which is lighter than the
milk, leaving the latter Invested of every
particle of cream. This invention is a
bonanza for Texas where ice is not always
available for dairy purposes. The eX-
hibit is in charge of j. NJ. Vance, who
has used the separator on his dairy farm
near this city.
The Hofheinz exhibit of brilliant
stoves. heating and cook. comes next
with the fine Mitchell wagon which this
house has generously offered as a special
premium for the best bale OF cotton
shown at the fair.

Brownsville Letter.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Oct. l.
EDITOR LIGHT:
am sure you and the readers of
your bright journal feel enough inter-
est in this far away corner 10 be
pleased to hear occasionally of our
prosperity. Crops are rather short
this year on account of drOuth, water
somewhat scarce yet not enough so to
do any material damage, as all kinds
of stock is in good condition.
The Corpus Christi and South
American Railway, have suspended
operations, for a time, but rumor says
will soon resume work and hurry
through. With the completion of
this road will dawn a new era for our
beautiful and fertile valley. Then
your boastful San Antonio had best
look to her laurels or our beautiful
city by the Grand river will surpass
her in improvements and enterprise
as she does now in her delightful eli
mate and splendidly fertile lands.
We can and do grow many of the de-
licious tropical fruits that would
wither in your rigid northers and
inferior soil. Large quantities of land
have been sold, and are still being
disposed OF to emlgrants, taking time
by the forelock, in securing
homes while the prices are
still within the reach of the man
with small means. We confidently
look for an immense rise in the price
of lands, SO soon as we have railroad
communication with the outside
world, and would advise all who de-
sire q home in the garden spot of
Texas, to secure it now. All tastes
can be suited; we have the rich black
loan for corn, cotton and cane, the
equally rich sandy lands for grapes,
melons and all kinds of vegetable
products. Gould place in northern
markets all varieties Of vegetables
six to eight weeks in advance of any
other locality. And when we con-
slider that these excellent lands are
practically inexhaustible In fertility,
prices that would seem eXorbitant for
inferior lands, for those are cheap.
With the present unusually dry
season, some fields will grow bale
of sea island cotton to the acre.

Experiments in Housekeeping.

From the Boston Journal.
tive housekeeping are illustrating the
efforts made by the ingenious Amert-
can family to overcome the inconveni-
epce of domestic servants trials and
other difficulties which produce dis
order in the household. At Decatur,
ILL.,, fifty-two families of comfortable
income have united in securing a
kitchen and necessary help, with a
paid housekeeper to oversee the
cooking and serving. According TO a
carefully con sidered plan, each house.
wife takes her turn for week In
experimenting the housekeeping
buying the supplies, arranging the
menu for the week and keeping the
accounts. The total cost for service
and supplies, including all the luxu-
ries of the season, is but g so week
for each person. Another similar
experiment is being tried in Utica,
n. Y. In that place tour or five
families, making a club of twenty
five members, have banded together
for the purpose of escaping some of
the veXations which are incident to
private housekeeping. They have
leased house and engaged salaried
housekeeper with such servants as
may be required to prepare and
serve meals. In this club the
housewives have no share in
the management, but leave to the
paid housekeeper the purchase of
provisions and other necessary du-
ties. Once week, or as often as may
be desired, an assessment will be or
dered to pay expenses, which are
thought to be less for each member
than those incurred by the conven-
tional method of individual house
keeping. Both clubs enter upon
their new arrangements in full con-
fidence of success, believing that the
trials of daily living will be lessened
by cooperation, and that regularity
and order will succeed the chances of
good or bad servants and other incon-
veniences. AS substitute for the
boarding house, the co-operat-
i've home will undoubtedly
prove satisfactory, as the table
will be arranged according to the
taste and direction of the club men,
bers. But its qualities do not possess
the charm of individualitywhich is the
chief attraction of the private home.
1t is possible that the cooperative
club may be the dining room of the
future, and that the house will con-
tain only parlors, libraries, halls and
sleeping rooms. The kitchen and
laundry, which are becoming smaller
each year, may be eliminated alto
gether. Such condition of affairs
does not seem visionary when one
contrasts the difference between the
supply and the demand of the domes-
tic servant condition, and when
actual schemes of cooperative house.
keeping are attempted.

MORMON PROSELNTES.-
No Amount of Persuasion Could
Turn Them From Their Course.

No Amount of Persuasion Could
Turn Them From Their Course.
New YORK. October 1.-The au-
thorities az the barge Office this morn
ing used an immense amount of moral
persuasion on the young MormoHs
that arrived yesterday on the
steamer Wyoming to induce
them to fcrego their intention
of becoming proselytes to the Nor
mon faith. The girls were sepa-
rated from the other passengers as
they landed and placed in room by
themselves. The female missionaries
from the Emigrant Girls home went
among them and tried to convice
them of the folly of the course they
proposed to follow. 1t was very
hard undertaking. One of the girls,
Karen Sylvestersen by name, who
acted as spokeswoman Tor the party,
frankly acknowledged that they were
all willing to be one of seven or eight
wives, and were fully aware of the
principles of Mormonisn. The girls
are all young, and some of them
very pretty. The attempt of
the missionaries to- influence
them proved an utter failure, and as
all that the barge authorities can do
Is to use persuasion, the entire party
will proceed on their journey tomor-
row by the Old Dominion line, via
Newport News, Va. The party COM
prises all told 200 souls, of whom
thirty-two are children. Among the
lot is a married English woman, who
left her husband in England to take
up the Mormon faith. She said she
was called and compelled to go. She,
refused to tell her name.

An Old Book.

Mr. J. Williamson Christy, formerly oi
Clay Twp, this county, and who removed
to Kansas about ten years ago, has been
back on a visit to friends here for the past
month. who are all very glad to see him
again. Last week he paid the CITIZEs
Office visit and stated among other things
that he is now near rs years of age, enjoy
ing good health, but likes and is about to
return TO his present home at Wayerly,
Kansas.
Mr. Christy, while UP among his friends
last week, came into the possession Of a
book that belonged to his father, one of the
three Andrew Christys of the early settlers
OF this county. The book is u small but
thick one, resembling some of the old
hymn books or small Bibles. 1t is Of a
religious character, and the title page,
although torn almost in two, indicates
that it was written 'By William Dyer, M.
A., and Printed at Belfast by James Blow,
1876 The sermons, or "epistles. that it
contains are by William Dyer and car in
the main be yet read, and are Of very
feryent and Christian nature On one Of
the blank leaves can yet be deciphered as
follows: Andrew Christy, his Book aud
Name, Bought June the 23d, 1163; Price
{ D" q cipher appearing under The (,
which is supposed 10 stand for pounds, and
the figure under the d, supposed to be
for pence. On another blank leaf is written
thus: Andrew Christy's Book, April 18th,
In the year Of our Lord, 1872"
Taken altogether it is one Of the most in
teresting OF old books we have seen for
some time. The printing is in old style
and can generally be yet read. II Is GER
tainly valuable relic and heirloom in the
Christy family to which our friend VIII
hanson Christy belongs.
