THE MODERN MANGLE.
Ironing Machines with Dany CnpErity OF
MrnS Thousands or Pieces.


Manglcs in one form and another have been
used for hundreds of years. but the steam
manglc of the present day is essentially n
modern machine. Steam manRlcs are made Of
various sizes. with rolls ranging in length from
~ inches TO l2O inches. Unc of the ro Is is OF
hollow steel, aud heated with steam. The
auxiliary rolls are of iron, covered with cotton
cloth and blankets or fclting. Steam mangles
Rrc made also with two hot rolls. In ironing
such things as sheets and table cloths by hand,
ii is customary to iron ono side only. Steam
mangles with n single hot roll iron in that
manner; with two hot rolls the steam manglo
irons with smooth finish on both sides.
Manglcs are used only for fiat articles; for
things without buttons or buckles; for sheets
and pillow cases table cloths and napkins,

country, but they are sold in all the countries OF
Europe as well.

A Tribute to Mr.. Tucker.

On the first page of this issue OF our
paper will be found the remarks made
by the Rev. J. R. Graham of Winches-
ter, on the 18th of February last, the
occasion being the funeral of the Hon.
John Randolph Tucker. The theme
was an inspiring one and few would
have dealt so directly with cold facts
under such temptation, when speaking
of a life embodying SO many virtues
and character so worthy Of adulation.
But the tribute to his friend furnished
that day by this devoted clergyman is
a master piece of English literature,
shorn of rhetorical scintillation and
pregnant in every sentence with facts,
facts which stood out in the life and
character of the man whose ashes were
being consigned to the tomb, and
which to recount in the modest but
powerful language of this address will
doubtless inspire nobler deeds and
higher aims in those who read them
and study the character they portray
Our readers will do well to put the
paper containing this tribute where
they can re-read, and study it, for il
contains a lesson which all may learI
with profit.
We deem It a peculiar privilege thai
the readers of this paper are the first
to see this discourse in print.

The Coming Elections.

On Thursday next, 9th inst, cleo
tions take place IN the city and county.
In the city Treasurer is to be elected,
in the county the Offices of Supervi-
sors, Justices of the Peace, Road Com
missioners, Road Directors, Overseers
of the Poor and Constables are to be
filed.
Whilst the elections do not seem to
every one as of serious Importance.
they are far more important than one
would think.
In Staunton there is no opposition
to Mr.. Hoge as Treasurer, but in the
county in various districts there are
opposing candidates. It is very inn
portant to have good men fill these
various offices. All have vastly more
authority attached to them than we
would imagine, whilst the offices of
Supervisor and Justice are places OF
much power. A justice of the peace
has not only Jurisdiction over ones
property to considerable extent, but
as a peace officer he can imprison, issue
search warrants, warrants of arrest.
and try many criminal matters. A
Supervisor deals more directly with
the money, but he can spend it, or
save it, as he feels most inclined. 1t
is therefore the duty Of the people in
whom all the primary power of this
government rests, to he on hand at
every election. and exercise their right
of suffrage, and along with it their
Judgment in the selection of the men
