in that day and time it was well made
and is in a condition to serve yet for
centuries, no doubt, with proper care.

Tin and Terne Plates.

Secretary Charles Foster has received
from Agent Ira Aver a special repor
showing the production Of tin and terpt
plates in the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 30, last, and the
present condition Of the industry also
containing brief statement relative to
the production and development of the
tin mines of the United States.
The report shows that the total produc-
ton of tin and terne plates proper for the
year was 1856, 7l9 pounds.
Besides the foregoing it should be stated
further, says the report, THAT the pro-
duction of American sheet iron or steel,
made into articles and wares, timed or
terne coated during the year, as sh9wn by
the sworn statements of manufacturers
received to date, was 4,s25, 22S pounds
AS these manufactures constitute tin and
terne plates within the meaniug OF the
law, it now seems probable that when
full returns of the same are received the
total production for the year, inclusive of
such manufactures, will not fall much
short of 10000, 600 pounds.N

HFARTRHNDING

HEARTRENDISG INDEED.-A story
comes from Madison county, Ga, telling
of the sad death of four children Of a
family named Wilson IN the short space
of forty minutes-three of them from the
bite of a rattlesnake, and the other by
drowning. The affair occurred a few
days ago. Mrs. Wilson went to a spring
near the house for water, taking with her
the baby. She had left the house but a
short time when screams attracted her
attention. and Fastening there found two
of her children dead and the third one
sick. The little fellow. however, was
able to talk and said they had poked
their fingers through crack IN the floor
and the hen under the house had bitten
them, Mrs. Wilson hurried back to the
spring and there found that her baby had
crawled into the spring and been
drowned. When the mother returned to
the house she found her little by also
dead. Some time later the father
returned. A search was made and a huge
rattlesnake was found under the house.

He Ate a Gross Of Eggs.
baltimore American ]

A "reminiscences of rounder of the time
of all-night houses is that he went on d
big drunk or the proceeds of a bet won
by eating twelve dozen eggs, all at one
time. The performance was done upon
a bet of $50 on each side. The eggs were
boiled hard, and then chopped up in a
big pan after their shells had been taken
off. Upon them was Clipped a boiled
potato, an onion, and a goodly quantity
of vinegar poured on the whole. The mass
was then mixed and put on to cook.
When this operation was accomplished
the eater found before him a substance
resembling goodly-sized pancake, which
he quickly devoured, The trick was
done through the chemical action of the
vinegar upon the eggs. which reduced
them to a minimum watery substance.

A Family scourged by Diphtheria

The Alexandria Gazette avs A story o
much sadness GENES from Halls Hill, neal
Ball's Cross Roads. in Alexandria county
A few weeks ago Mr.. Lemuel Massey, a
farmer, his wife and seven children, were
all taken down with diphtheria, The
doubly-stricken parents did all in their
power to assist the little ones, bnt one by
one they began to die. Most of the
neighbors who knew of the famiiy's dis
tress were afraid of the disease and kept
away. One or two, however, were finally
80 touched that charitable help was rem
dered. Last week on the death OF the
third child Georgetown undertaken was
ordered to prepare a coffin in which to
inter it, but before it had been completed
word was received of the death of the
fourth one. The little ones were all in
TERED in Mt. Olivet burying ground, To-
Gated near the Cross. Roads. On the death
of the fourth the neighbors all became
helpful, and, thinking that the dwelling
occupied was not conducive to health, a
tent was stretched on the sur
rounding lot, and the remaining sick
members were removed to it. The family
is still in great need of assistance.

JubaI Early Durham IN New f0rk Press
Charles Thompson, a Democratic poll
tician of Alexandra county, Va, IL
evidently alarmed at the outlook 10 that
State. Like Senator Ransom, he came to
New York to tell Chairman HarrIty how
hard he has got to fight to bold Virginia
in the Democratic column. He hopes to
impress upon the COMMITTEES the NECESSITY
OF dispensing sinews Of war freely down
south. Cleveland carried Virginia by
1900 in 1854 and by only 1,460 IN 1893.
Mr.. Thompson "bopes" to see the Demo
Gratis wip By 5000 this year, but the
inference drawn from his remarks was
that he would not dare to wager on any
plurality on Cleveland. The Virginia
Democrats do not like the free trade
plank in the Democratic platform.
