Mr.. Vermilion, of this city has invented
a churn that is self-acting. You wind 1t
up with a spring like a clock, and go
off and talk love to your neighbours wife,
and when you come back the butter is
there. If Mr.. Vermilion makes a fortune
out of his invention he can afford to paint
the town a vermilion hue. He seems to
have solved the problem that has puz-
zled many inventors More ingenuity
has been spent upon self-acting churns,
and more patents taken out, than on any
other labor saving, device. The power
to keep the dasher moving must be very
great in proportion to the size of the
churn. and it must be economical. These
obstacles have heretofore defeated in
VentOrS.

PuGILnsM VS.. FOOT BALL.

Two of the greatest newspapers of this
country, the New York Tribune and the
Philadelphia Ledger, decline TO encour,

But in the matter of foot ball both papers

In this day of competition very small
profit means a big thing. The average
profit on cotton cloth is one-fifth to one
half cent a yard. In calico printing
one-tenth cent a yard is considered fair
profit. A very slight advantage in the
way of cheaper coal, cheaper labor relief
from taxation, etc. will cause one mill
to make money while others lose.

"Who is your favorite bard?"
said Ernest.
'I fear, sir, you will think me
an oddity in letters, as | am unable
to name any exclusive favorite, but
Gull from amongst all to suit my
own poor TASTE" was the maiden's
modest reply.
"Your home has been fortunately

out on the wild hills that stretched
their blue tops away to the west

'I am persuaded | would enjoy
it very much," added Ernest; "es-

The young lady blushed at this
pointed allusion of Ernest's gal
lantry, but replied
"Oh, | am quite sure there is
always enough presents itselfto the
eye of beauty to feast admiration
till the gaze grows weary"
But as Ernest was getting fairly
at1oat on the sea of sentiment with
this lovely Naiad, Mrs. Darby en-
tered the room like a dark appari
tlon of reality, dispelling all the
romantic aspirations of the young
couple in an instant.
"What in the deuce has brought
that old harpy so soon back again? ,
Ernest mentally calculated, but he
did not give utterance to his
thoughts, and Mrs. Darby was the
first to break silence.
"L-o-r-d! and this is young Mr.

"L-o-r-d! | know nothing abou

with harsh indifference.

n new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out g
way TO speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome OF the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces OF the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
