new story, of every day American life, which is

SPOILED HIS PiErY.-Horace Greeley used
to affirm that newspaper men were the most
patient people, as class, on earth; and be
was not far from right, though there are times
when patience ceases to be virtue with the
most enduring. Nearly everybody in Michi-
gan knows Burr, who used to start newspa-
DER about once month the year round, gen.
erally bringing them out in Grand Rapids,
but sometimes making flying trip to other
points. Burr could stand to be told that he
lied about circulation, was on the fence as
politician, and that be didn't know anything
about publishing paper; and when men
threatened to sue or thrash him, he only
smiled a sad smile and wished that mankind
wouldn't get excited. During religious re-
vival in Grand Rapids, Burr was converted,
and it frequently happened that religious peo-
ple called at his office to talk with him. One
day minister came in, and after talking a
while, he proposed prayer. He was in the
act of kneeling, when his foot struck one of
the outside forms, which was leaning against
a leg of the stone, ready to be lifted up, and
over it went, making half bushel of pi.
Burr looked at the ruin wrought, thought of
the two weeks of overwork, and commepced
taking off his coat, saying:


"I'm trying to be Christian, and set a
good example, but rat my buttons if can't
lick you in just two minutes p


The clergyman backed down stairs in no
time, dodging the lye brush on the way, and
Burr backslid at once, and sent down for
pint of stimulant.

Another Strike Satisfactorily Settled.


Yesterday afternoon about clock, the
grinders and polishers in Deere & Cos,
concluded that they we're not getting
enough for their work, and left the shop
The dissatisfaction arose because the 10
per cent reduction had not been restored,

grinders asked for the old piece work
price, or $3.50 per day. The company
refused to make any change in the price of
piece work, but agreed to give them 81. so

morning we'll satisfied. The polishers,
however, think they should receive more

have always received so cents per day
more than grinders. and they will not be
satisfied with less then $500 per day, or

are confident of an amicable solution Of

1t is hardly possible to conceive a more
shorted sighted policy, than that which
taxes the manufacturing industry Of our
State. Quite apart from its being now un-
necessary, it is impolitic apd vicious in its
character. The income tax was specially
obnoxious, because of its inquisitorial char
acter, the State tax upon manufactures is
equally so,-as returns must be made OF
the amount of business one does, as the
basis of his taxable return, this exposes the
privacy of manufacturers affairs, which
of all things, he most religiously tries to
guard from the prying intrusion Of the
public. There is no State in the Union,
where industry is still fettered by the tax
alton, but in Delaware Ought not the
Legislature now in session repeal the tax on
manufactures, and by so doing tighten the
burdens, resting on the industry Of our own
workers, and invite others from abroad to
settle in our midst. We know Of one in
stance of a negociatian for the site o.
large factory being broken short. when the
parties heard, of the existence Of the tax il

We all desire the introduction o
foreign capital to enlarge our manufactur

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TREAS
URER IN DEFAULT.-The defalcations
of the Democratic county treasurers
of Brown and Butler county few
years ago, are of too recent occur
renee to be forgotten, and now
comes the Democratic treasurer Of
Auglaize county, to be added to the
list. 1t will be remembered that he
was recently found in his Office with
his hands and feet bound, and told a
fearful story about being seized and
gagged by robbers while on his way
home the night before, who tortured
him by burning his feet until he
gave up the combination of the
treasury safe, from which $4,000
was found missing. The treasurer
has now been arrested, on evidence
which is said to prove beyond doubt
that he was not robbed at all, but
that the whole affair was a "put-up
lob" in which be was one of the
conspirators, to hide a defalcation in
the county funds entrusted to his
care. Other prominent Democrats
are implicated, and it is to be hoped
the whole gang will be exposed and
punished.

may be elected both for his own

Bow-legs and knock-knees are among
the common deformities of humanity,
and wise mothers assert that the crook
edness in either case arises from the
afflicted one have been put upon his or
her feet too early in babyhood. But a
Manchester (England) physician, DR..
Compton, who has watched for the true
cause, thinks differently. He attri-
butes the first mentioned distortion to
a habit some youngsters delight in, of
rubbing the sole of one foot against that
of the other; some will go to sleep with
the soles together. They appear to en-
joy the contact only when the feet are
naked; they don't attempt to make it
when they are socked or slippered. So
the remedy is obvious: keep the baby's
soles covered. Knock-knees the doc
tor ascribes to different childish habit,
that of sleeping on the side, with one
knee tucked under the hollow behind
the other. He has found that where
one leg has been bowed inward more
than the other, the patient has always
slept on one side, and the uppermost
member has been the most deformed.
Here the preventive is to pad the inside
of the knees, so as to keep them apart,
and let the limbs grow freely their own
way. All of which is commended to
mothers who desire the physical up
rightness of their progeny.

The report of the recent experience
iu England with Jablochkoff's electric
candles, which created a temporary
panic in gas shares in that capital, is
interesting. 1t is said that a single
flame of the new kind gives as much
light as hundred gas jets, and with
out any increase of temperature. The
light has a steadiness, softness, and
whiteness which the best gas knows
not of; and the product of the combus-
tion is salubriouS ozone, instead of
being, as in the case of gas, unwhole-
some vapors which poison the atmos-
phere and tend to damage books, pic
lures and ornaments. The material
employed in the manufacture of the
Candles is species of hard clay,
which, being non-conductor, is
placed between two upright sticks of
carbon. With the passage of the
electric current from one carbon point
to another, the hard clay or kaolin,
becomes fused by the heat, and gives
out the brilliant light already described.
AS at present constructed, the candles
will only burn for one hour, but a
little mechanical skill will soon con-
struct an authentic device for substitu-
ting a second candle when the first has
burned out, and then the invention
may be said to be complete.


At a trial made in large tent COW
ering one of the squares of the West
India docks, four common lamp-postS
were erected in the respective corners,
and on one of these lamp-posts was plac-
ed an electric light, the electricity for
which was generated by steam power
in magneto-electric machine of thirty
two magnets, each magnet composed
of six plates. The steam engine Of two
and one half horse power effected 4S0
revolutions of the magneto-electric ma
chine per minute. The resulting light
was so strong that the finest print
could be read at distance of thirty
feet from the lamp. The electric light
was then extinguished, and when Six
teen gas burners, four in each corner,
were substituted the effect was dismal
enough. The experiment was next
tried in warehouse, the light being in
troduced through window. The elec-
trio candles were placed in tin case
which acted as a reflector, and small
type could be read at distance Of
seventy-five feet. Moreover, it was
discovered that the light did not inter-
fere with the discrimination of color,
green, blue, red, purple, and even deli
cate straw color being as easily s:distin-
guished as if it were day.


BY allowing sufficient length of in
sulated wire the light may be readily
transferred from place to place, and it
was found that all work pertaining to
the loading and unloading Of ships
could be carried on by the use of the
electric candles as well by night as by
day. 1t is reported that one Of the
towns of western England, seeing much
Importance in the principles which at
tach to the new invention, has refused
to renew its contracts with the gas
companies for any protracted period.

There are very few gardens, the soil
Of which has not been allowed to be-
come filed more or less with the seeds
of weeds. When crops spring up, the
weeds spring up with them. If num-
erous, the weeds get above the crops ;
hard work at hoeing and laborious,
finger wedding follow, The crops are
over borne and become small. Back
aches and discouragements are deyel-
oped. More weeds give plentiful
seeding another year.


With industrious gardeners, who
take time by the forelock, much of
this trouble and loss is prevented by
destroying the weeds when very small.
When only half an inch high, the bulk
Of q weed is not hundredth part as
great as when six inches high. 1t has
not yet drawn a hundredth part as
much on the crop and on the soil. A
single movement Of a steel rake at this
hour will kill fifty weeds, but when
they grow six inches high the rake will
do nothing, and the hoe must be
ground sharp and applied with many
hard strokes.


There is q better way still. Kill the
weeds broadcast just as they are COM
ing up. The main thing is to do this
right. The seeds Of nearly all garden
weeds are small. Now get your ground
or beads ready to plant, but do not
yet. A little warm weather will start
all the seeds for about an inch down ;
and as soon af you see the first green
Or yellow point peering up through
the black mould, then is the time fol-
action Do not wait till the next day
or till afternoon, for they will now
spring up amazingly fast.


Take your steel rake and go over
the surface two or three inches down,
raking and cross-raking till you have
torn all the delicate little plants to
fragments. Now then there is a pref
ty fair chance for a clean surface, fol
very few that are deeper than two inch.
