The Manufacture OF Wire.

The manufacture of wire as now car
ried out may be briefly and concisely
stated, aud consists in alternating or re-
duction in section thin rods of the metal
under manipulation by drawing them
cold through holes in draw plate, usu-
ally made of hard steel. The wire draw
er's bench is furnished with horizontal
cylinder, driven by steam or other power,
on which the wire is wound after leav-
ing the draw plate. The holes in the
draw plate are arranged in decreasing
diameters, and u fine wire may require
some twenty or thirty drawings ere it is
reduced to the size desired.
Much friction is generated in the pro-
cess, Notwithstanding the use of lubri-
cants, and "annealing" is necessary to
counterfeit the brittleness produced in
the wire. Where great accuracy is re-
quisite the wire is drawn through ru6ies
or other hard stones in the draw plate.
The speed of the drawing cylinder is in
creased as the diameter of the wire di-
minishes
Much confusion has existed in regard
to the gauges of wires, no fewer than
fifty-tive different gauges being men
toned by a recent writer, of which forty
five were for measuring and determining
the size Of wire as made and sold within
the United Kingdom. The Whitworth
gauge, introduced in 1857 by Sir Joseph
Whitworth, and the Birmingham wire
gauge (B. w. g. have been extensively
employed. In 1884 an imperial standard
wire gauge became law, and consti-
tutes the legal gauge of this country. 1t
ranges from half an inch to one-thou-
saoot tn of an inch in ameter.-C hdm.

A Jealous Elephant.

An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is told by Baker The elephant
which usually led the state procession of
raJah being SICK the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had up
to this time occupied only subordinate
place. The animal, delighted with its
finery, showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gen
eral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de-
graded beast, imagining perhaps that
he was being defrauied of his promo
ton, was with great difficulty restrained
from attacking the leader of the parade.

When Music was in Ill Repute.

The objection of the nonconformist
conscience to musical instruments did
not stay at organs, but was extended to
tiddles and harps. The drum was al
most the sole instrument which was not
Babylonish and anti-Christian and could
be heard with no uncomfortable scru-
pies. Neither did that curious con
science object simply to the use of the
harp and the fiddle upon the village
green after the common evensong upon
Sunday afternoons, but objected to them
even upon the week days. To be a
harper OF fiddler was ipso facto to be a
sinner. Any money earned by playing
harp or viol was the wages of in
iquity. "-LOndOn Sotm day Rev,ao.

NEW mARrINsvILLE INSTITUTE.

New MARTINsvILLE, w. VA, August
1.-THE Institute assembled this morn
ing at the usual hour, the only instruct
ors present being ProIs. Crago and
Powell. After the devotional exercises
and several selections OF music, the reg
ular work of the day was begun.
Arithmetic" the first subject taken
up, was discussed by Prof. Powell. A
number Of problems were solved by the
teachers. Prof. CraRo also spoke for
short time. on mental arithmetic.
"Civil Government" was then dis
cussed by Prof. Crago, and his talk was
very instructive.
The afternoon session was opened
with talk on the History and Geog-
raphy Of West Virginia" by Prof.
Crago. A number Of teachers also made
short addresses on this subject.
After the discussion Of few ques-
lions for the query box, the Institute
adjourned until morning.
There were present this afternoon
two or three teachers from other coun-
ties who, probably considering that the
schools they taught last year did not
progress, thought that all others were
retrograding. They object to the Leg
islature compelling them to pass more
difficult examinations and TO better pre-
pare themselves for their work.
There are now one hundred and sixty
four teachers enrolled.

The oIau and the Measure for the Hour.

The leader OF the friends OF Mr..
Cleveland in the House of Representa-
tives, as is now made evident, is Mr..
VIM. L. Wilson of West Virginia. No
better choice OF leader could have
been made, and the other able speakers
VINO share the Presidents convictions
on the silver question, like Mr. Rayner
and Mr.. BOurke Cochran, will give
loyal support TO the man whose choice
everybody must admit 10 be almost
ideal.
Mr.. Wilson's patriotic career in Con-
gress has revived the finest traditions
OF American craftsmanship. Without
money, but with education, oratory and
sound convictions, be has made himself
a power among the good people OF West
Virginia, and has year alter
year won a reelection IN
Spite OF Republican trickery
and bribery. In congress, bis mastery
Of the tariff question has not been less
complete than his dalectic skill In dis
cusslon, and the fine literary finish Of
his speeches. With these endowments
he has enjoyed that more valuable gilt
of a winning personality; and his ao-
Solute honesty Of character has i'm
pressed everybody on both sides OF the
House. To-day no member OF Congress
stands higher in the esteem OF the think
ing and honor-loving people Of the
country than Mr.. Wilson. In contrast
with the petty patronage brokers OF
the Senate, who see nothing In the
present distress OF the country but a
chance for good terms in a deal over
Office, Mr.. Wilson appears a marvel OF
upright, disinterested public spirit.
He is the best man that could have
been chosen for the difficult task of con-
vinciug suspicious and uncertain rao-
bic OF legislators like the wavering ad-
herentS OF Mr.. Bland to turn into the
path of safety. His bill is in full ac-
cord with the recommendation OF the
President for the prompt repeal OF the
purchase clause OF the Sherman act,
aud for other legislative action putting
beyond doubt the intention and ability
OF the Government to fulfil its ooliga-
tions in money universally acceptable
to the civilized world. The Wilson bill
repeals the purchase clause; but de-
clareS that this repeal shall not in any
manner affect the legal tender quality
of the silver now coined, and pledges
the full faith and credit Of the United
States to maintain the parity between
gold and silver.
With a sensible measure like this al
ready under discussion and with a capa-
bic, patriotic leader In charge of the
forces. the Democratic majority in the
House has put Itself in much more en-
yiable position than that occupied by
their colleagues and party friends in
the Senate.

New York, August 1T transpires
that John l.. sullivan, ex-champiOn
pugilist OF the world, had narrow
escape from death at the hands OF fell
low sport the other evening in the bar
room OF the Vanderbilt Hotel, at Lex
inRton avenue and Forty second street.
The particulars have been guarded,
Sullivan entered the bar room at about
elaht o'clock in the evening. BE had
been drinking heavily and was in an
ugly mood He was accompanied by
two old friends. Sullivan lurched into
the bar room and facing the counter
ordered wine for every one IN the place.
AT the further end of the bar was =
man by the name Of McCluskey, with
whom Sullivan had had trouble In Bos-
ton three years ago.
The pugilist did not see his old enemy
when he entered the room. IL was only
when he saw that McCluskey refused 10
drink that Sullivan learned his Identity
He went dowa the bar 10 induce the
man he believed was stranger TO take
a glass OF wine.
When Sullivan got within six feet OF
the man he saw who 10 was aud then be-
gan TRADE OF abuse. he accused him
Of Of Slandering behind his back. Nc
Cluskey denied thas be had ever spoken
disparagiugly Of the pugilist, aud what
was more he had not even taken the
trouble 10 give him a thought since
their quarrel 10 Boston. Sullivan glared
at his enemy for moment, and then
bringing his mighty fist down on the
mahogany, shouted IN a voice OF anger
that could be heard almost block away:
''You are a liar. McCluskey, and 1 can
prove 10. DO you hear what l say, you
cur? You have been talking about me
behind my back, and l say that you are
a liar"
McCluskey was crimson with his
anger Oy this time. He brought down
his fist on the bar, and turning TO Sulli-
van said: Il have told you that l never
spoke behind your back, aud when you
say I have, you lie and you know it,"
Sullivan shot his right forth. 1t
struck McCluskey on the left side or
the neck, knocked him down, but did
not stun him. The PROSTATE mans
hand went TO his hip pocket in twink
ling. As soon as Sullivan saw the
movement he turned 70 run for the
door, but shot sped after him before
he could reach the door. Before a sec
ond shot could be fred the puRillst's
friends rushed in and wreSted the
weapon from McCluskey.
