Remarkable Genius of the Late
J. Fl. Beadle.
HOW he BEARDED THE HORIZONS.

Interesting Career of the first Gentle
JOurnaIlE In Utah-His Travels and His
Literary Work-His Marvellous Memory
and His Varied Accomplishments.
To many thousands of persons in vari-
Gus parts of the country the signature
J. H Bead1e is a familiar one. To
these the news that the man whose pen
has furnished SO much that has been en-
tertaining and instructive has passed
away will bring almost a sense of Per
sonal loss although comparatively few
of the readers who were acquainted with
his writings had any knowledge of the
man. Those who admired the author
will be interested to learn that the man
was one who was as worthy of their re-
spect as his work was of their common
dation.
For nearly 80 years his vigorous and
ready pen described scenes, incidents
and conditions in many states and re-
corded some phases in the growth Of the
Union which have been unnoticed by
other writers. Business, circumstances
and i'll health, though mainly the lat
ter, made him wanderer, but wherever
he went his comprehensive mind recog-
nized things as they were, and his liter
airy skill enabled him to reproduce the
picture for his readers. A phenomenal
memory aided him to array facts which
interested, a philosophic mind added
logic which convinced, and a vein of
droll hu1nor made it possible for him to
illuminate and enliven even the dullest
subject.
While Mr.. Beadle's earlier literary
work was done for individual newspa-
pers and magazines or appeared in book
form, for the last 5 years of his life he
wrote almost constantly for a great
newspaper syndicate, of which this paper
is member. While as a rule he wrote
over his own name, he contributed much
over the signature J. B. Parke. His
death, which occurred recently at Rock

Round BaIed Cotton.


The round cotton bale is begin
ming to make it's mark. The Amer
lean Cotton Company, of New
York, which controls the baling
machines, is making an exhibit at
Nashville in the Tennessee Cen
tennial, where the whole process,
from ginning the seed cotton,
forming the lint into one cohtinu-
GUS sheet or bat fifty inches wide,
carrying it over rollers to the
cylindrical press, where the bat is
wound on to an iron core and
turning out solid bale of some
500 pounds weight is all done con-
tinously. The completed bale is
denser than our present standard
cotton, and is then covered by a
'plain wrapper, the fibre OF the
fcotton as it is wound into the bale
form making the bales own ties,
securing denser cotton, less inju-
red and cheaper covering.
The doing of all these things at
one process, aside from securing
aycellent work. secures wonderful
ECONOMY. But ten tons pressure
is now required to compress cot
ton, against 24OO tons by the old
process, and to operate the press
a 10 horsepower engine is'compe-
tent, as against 300 horsepower
now in general use.
Another important point of mer-
it i'm the round bale is it's reduced
liability to injury by fire. Round
bales have been subjected to Sc
we're tests and found comparative
ly uninjured, the outer part only
being scorchea.
The Walburn-Swens6n Compa-
ny, the great manufacturers of su-
gar machinery, in Chicago, manu-
ture the round bale compress and
new multiple cotton gin, the whole
being under the control Of the
American Cotton Company. Our
cotton-planting friends may de-
pend upon it, the round bale has
'come to stay.

The discussion of the tariff bill
has developed the fact that there
are a number of Democrats in the
Senate who have been innoculated
with the virus of protection and
they are voting with the Republi-
cans in order to have their parti-
cular "herrings" cared for. Were
General Hancock to step from the
terements Of the grave he would
regard the speeches Of a number
Of Senators on the Democratic
side as an indorsement of the
position assumed by him in the
campaign of 1880, that the tariff
was a local issue, in spite of the
fact that that declaration resulted
in his overwhelming defeat for
President. AT the present time
it seems that Democratic doctrine
and principle have been cast to
the winds and Senators who have
heretofore claimed to be straight
out Democrats are consorting with
the Republicans for share of the
tariff pluiider, regardless of the
fact that they are piling up enor-
nous taxes on the people. - States.

Are You Indispensable!
Home Ideal.

The Ladies Home Ideal.
The question asked, we ponder
over a truthful answer. We long
to say eyes" We like to fiatter
ourselves that no other person In
all the world could fill our own
particular niche in it anything
like SO we'll as we fill it ourselves,
and yet, even if we do say Eyes,
we have feeling That, perhaps,
after all, somebody else could do
our work as well, and perhaps
(although we hate to admit the
thought) even better than we do
it.
Sometimes it is comfort to
think this; if we are forced to lay
down our arms we are glad to
think that there are others capa-
BILE of taking them up and maris-
ging them, but as a rule, we prefer
not to admit the fact that "there
are as good fish in the sea as ever
came out of it.
And yet it is true; there is no
person in the world who is abso-
lutely indispensable to it. We see
man of whom all his friends and
the public say, eve could not get
on without him." and yet if death
suddenly removes him from their
midst, they can still go on; an
other man will be found to take
his place, and in many cases he
will simply pass in a name. That
it is often awkward, fnconveni6nt,
and difficult to satisfactorily fill
his place is not to be denied, and
it is probable that at first his sub
stitute will not fill it at all ade-
quately, but he will learn to do So
and however little we may like to
admit it, It is none the less true
that veraciOus answer to the
question asked is only to be found

word mo"

The New York Sun editor has
for years past been the thick-and-
thin champion of Tammany; his
war-whoop was ever 1oudest above
the din of the fray; no clout-wear-
er could boast of so many bloody
scalps hanging from the tent-pole
of his wigwam as he. But he
proves a traitor in the camp.
In years ayone, from the obse-
quious follower of Grant he be-
came his fierce opponent, and this
because he was refused the posi-
ton of minister to the Court Of st.
James. Whether Tammany has
done thing to him" or not we
cannot say, but at all events the
old man is now ferociously brand
ishing his war-club, pouring his
choicest epithets upon the head of
the Tiger. "That organization, -
says he, "is the advocate of repu.
diation and lawlessness the de-
basement of the currency, disho-
nesty, business ruin, a DEGRADED
Judiciary, and the destruction of
civilization" and more of the same
sort. However, Tammany can con-
sole itself with the knowledge
that the venerable and cratic
editor, with facility for blunder-
ing that approaches the superna-
tural, always manages to fall on
the wrong side.-States.

To Glenn Grenadine.

Embroidered silk muslin, or grena-
dine, is a thing of beauty generally
supposed to be done with altogether
when dirty, but nothing better rCpays
careful handling and a little extra
trouble. To wash 1t, make a lather of
suds as for other kinds of silk, but not
quite so strong, with best white soap,
and let it stand till the heat is nearly
gone. Then soak the muslin in il, shake
II about, and play" with IL gently for
a few minutes amongst the suds, then
rinse in clean cold water. Dissolve
pinch OF gum-arabic I'm half a cup of
water. add a few drops of white vine
gar and dip in the silk. Put 1t in soft
towel afterwards. and clap the water
out OF it; iron at once, on the wrong
side only, with tissue paper above the
muslin. using an iron that has cooled
down a good deal.
One important point to remember in
connection with the cleaning OF silk lis
this: that you may restore the color
when II has gone i'm washing, but sell
dom, If ever. can you restore color that
has been destroyed by using too hot an
iron.
