= The victory..ku , obtained in this wise :'
Any one that isat all acquainted with wor—
sted goods knows that their peculiarity eon—
sists in the smoothness of "the thread, and the
destitute of. These effects are produced by
the fibres being all laid longitudinal and is a
result that can only be produced by "comb-
ihgl’V the wool instead of “carding” which'is
ing it. In order to makea successful imitaé‘
tion 'it was only necessary to produce a
worsted effect, and the imposition and fraud
was complete, and it was and still is done
asfollows: Cotton is spun with a “slack
twist" then doubled and twisted, which
yarn. . This is for the warp which makes the
figure or pattern when wOveii.' The fillings
er weft is not even as good .as the warp, for
that is" composed of cotton wdsto and other
3,rulibz'all., such as jute and cow Mir, better
’lkuown among this class of manufacturers as
iéoamol’s hair. We are net writing to be per-
. soual, but. for the information of tho Giznrrn
readers. therefore we expect to be excused
bylthose that are alluded to. We have seen
tons upon tons of cow and bufi'alo hair worked
into ladies’ skit-tings and sold in , New York
at large prices as oavwl'o hairmnd these goods
were manufactured by an automating firm
iu Franklin;~VMass., and appreciated by that
class of ladies that could afford to indulge in
goods that were rich‘and'rare. PardOn this

what is the result? Why, simply this, they
are not satisfactory, they don’t. meet his ex-
pectations, he has been deceived. This is
his first experience with worsted clothing,
and “like the burnt child that. dreads the
fire" he will not get near enough to be burnt.
again, and as he does not know the difference
between the real and the sham article they
are both brought alike under the ban of
suspicion, while the genuine is the real and
only sufferer.
It is Wonderful to see how tamely the peo-
ple submit to this outrageous fraud, and yet
it is more marvelous that the people do not
demand laws that shall control the sale of
these and kindred goods that are so highly
calculated and intended to deceive and
defraud the people. ' We have laws that
:fipunish severely those who obtain goods' by
ifalse pretenses, and why should we not have
equally as severe laws for those who sell
goods byfalse pretences .9 Surely what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the goose’s hus-
band. We are personally acquainted with
four establishments in New England where
these spurious worsteds are made, whose
proprietors have accumulated large fortunes,
V while the honest men in the trade have been
driven to financial ruin. Nearly all the
worsted machinery that is running at the
uot‘lbsstlihu t 0 nerilmdi‘é‘éth "ten years 3:! hprcseut time is upon yarns for braids, tassels,
fringes, etc., instead of that higher grade of
goods that Bradford, England, is celebrated
for. This is wrong, it is deplorable, it is
mortifying to think that honest goods canno
find sufficient favor and support from the
. American people to make importatious from
.' v,='_abroad unnecessary and unprofitable while
' we have the 4 mac hinery and skill in our
own borders that is not surpassed by any
thing foreign. Our desire to ape the foreign
is ruinous alike to our mannorc and business
interests, or why should we allow Europe to
send us what we ourselves can produce as
fester our own business interests and indus-
tries cau we reasonably expect foreigners to
do it for us? Let us be honest, at least hou-
est enough to make honest goods, and then
let us be selfish enough to wear them and
thereby show our appreciation of honesty.
. We have shoddy in the necessaries of life,
we have shoddy in our medicine, We have
.shoddy in our religion; but nowhere is it so
‘ conspicuously contemptible as in our clo-
thing. The remedy for this “shoddy evil"
insure and effectual if the means are employ-
ed, and not without.
The individual that thinks he is getting a
cheap suit of clothes when he pays $4.50 or
.even when he pays $12, never labored under
a greater delusion, for if they were made of
wool the raw material would cost more
money and leave out the expense of manu—
facturing, audthe profit that should accruc‘to
the manufacturer for“ his risk and trouble.
There is no such a thing as cheapness in
‘fshoddy clothing" for they destroy self—
respect, and after that is gone our morals
will soon follow in the same wake.
? A thread made from pure wool has the fol-
lowing characteristics :It is smooth, without
lumps or buncheaquite‘elastic'aud will stand
a strong tension before breaking. Just the
opposite tothis is a thread made of shoddy
or part shoddy and part wool, and in both
cases the material must be reduced to a
thread before it can be woven into clolb,
which operation does not change the thread
only as its associates with it forms cloth after
being wove. There can therefore be no bet-
ter general way of detection than by getting
hold of a thread of the suspected article and
examining it, and if it breaks brittle and the
fiber is short let it alone unless you want
to buy shoddy. These points are known by
the ready made clothing men, .henc it is that
the seams of- ready made clothing is so slu-
diously concealed from the gaze and fingers‘
of the too curious customer. We hold that
there is no reasonable necessity for any man
to wear “shoddy" in these United States, and
we think without looking far that we could
find facts and logic sufficient. to convert any
. reasonable skeptic to the same belief. There
is no man too poor to wear a good article.
but there are tattoo many that are too poor
to buy it, and from the fact that they prefer
to indulge in such lucuri'oa, as whiskey and
tobacco, at the expense of their pride and
our towers: .. . ,
coffiitry and hand dawn toothem
establishments that are producing ‘ textile
fabricé sccOudt‘o none on the globe. Very
much more'might be said in condemnation
of this miserable stuff called‘shoddy, and
. nothing can be said in itspraise. Therefore
let us wilhold from it our individual support
and compel ‘it to die of starvation.

Sir William Thompson lately suggested
that hot water might probably be economi-
cally distributed through the streets of a
city in the copper tubes used to convey
electricty for power, the heat being produced
by the resistance of the tube to the electric
current. Prof. Geo. F. Barker has made
experiments confirming the theory and: ex-
presses the belief that boiling water may be
distributed for heating purposes wherever
the electric light is in use, without interfer—
ing with the efilcieucy of the latter or in-
creasing matcrially the expense.I 3 '
less, a rather surprising question to most pcr‘
sons; but the question has been asked and
answered afiimatively. The studies of M.
Trantschold, of Moscow, upon the matter
leads him to these conclusions: 1.:vIu pro-
portion as certaiu‘parts of the earth’s crust
rise from the bottom of the sea above its level.
the latter must be lowered. 2. The surface
of nearly all the present continents has been
at one time the bottom of the sea. It rises
from the water partly ‘by reason of upheaVo
als,partly because of the retreat of the ocean.
3: As continents are formed, a part of the
water of seas is transported to them in the
form of lakes, rivers, eternal snows, glaciers,
and organized substance. Owing. to these
actions the water of the ocean has diminish—
ed iu_a constant manner, and its level has
been lowered. In proportion as the earth
mountains, water is imbibed more deeply
into the terrestrial crust, and the formation
of hydrated minerals is manifested every-
where. It results from all these facts that
since water existed on the earth’s surface the
level of the sea has been gradually lowered.
The weather is an ever-present topic of in-
terest, rendered unusually attractive by the
anomalies of the present season. Generally
considered, the earth’s climate may be said
to have ‘two sources—the heated belts of the
equator and the cold districts of the poles.
Between theseregions currents of air are
rents sweep to‘the tropics, chilling the lands
over which they pass, while the mild winds
from the equator exert a V corresponding in—
fluence uponlocal temperature. It has been
claimed that mild and cold winters may be

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
$30 them the cheapest and best Safes now
o. I
let. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placi the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently am-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate ‘of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Looxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED nvsiDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre—
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ‘ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFEithat
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of ‘cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are new in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

.A man STORY.
BY ED. 1. TLRILLE,
The father took his little boy,
And placed him on his knee,
And told him all about the fish
That swam around the sea.
“What crazy things the fishes are
To get caught in a not;
If I" said Johnny, “was a fish,
I’d have more sense, you bet I” .
They are indeed, a crazy set,”
The father did explain;
“For when they’re found within a net,
They always are ill-seine.”

The Mysterious Customer.
AN aorou's MADOAP ADVENTURE.
. I was playing Mr. Spicer Rumford in
“Artful Cards,” and;you know, in the second
not he goes to an evening party, and he has
bought a pair of white kid gloves—regular
party going gloves, warranted not to split—
at one-and—six. But they do split, and here
is the fun of the introduction of those comi-
cal articles called haud shoes by the matter-
of—fact Germans.
The gloves were necessary for the fun of
the play; they must be split or there is no
fun; and I usually keep a dozen pairs ready
in case of cmcrgcncy,for I have to split them
before going upon the stage.
Vthu acting in a celebrated provincial
town, where they are extremely critical and
‘ particular down to the smallest detail, my
dresser told me that I had no gloves; I had
used them all.
It was a dreadfully wet night, pouring cats
and dogs, and all the best shops were shut up
so I told the coachman to stop at the first
glove shop he came to. We came to a halt at
a miserablehlooking fourth—rate shop, where
they sold cheap braces and mouldy neckties,
fly-blown shirts, and the most alarming brass
studs fixed into card board.
The proprietor of this dingy emporium
was just about to close, and seemed half
asleep. I could see at once that he was s
surly, ill-conditioned fellow,and1 don't think
I improved his temper by making my request
very earnestly and in a low tone, accompani-
ed by a‘gibberish which he could not under-
stand.
I heard him ‘muttering .to himself, “What
does he mean ? the man’s a foo .” When
suddenly as he washouncing about and losing
his temper, I said. as distinctly as possible,
“Have you got any white kid gloves ? I don’t
understand your provincial dialect."
It was as well to turn the tables at once
and put him in the wrong.
He groped about until at last when he was
red 'with the exertion, he found a forgotten
box of white kids. They were uncommonly
dusty, and had evidently been the original
stock of his grandfather’s shop. I picked out
a pair, and he went. through the stupid
old formula of doubling them across my
.knuckles.
“I think these will do,” he said.
“Oh! will they? Then give me a pair of
scissors.”
“They are untied; you don’t want any scis-
sors." ' '
“Yes, I do.”
I then deliberately cut the gloves in five or
six places. The man positively shuddered
and said, “Oh, don’t 1” I seemed to hurt him,
although the gloves were mine. The more
he shuddered the more I cut away.
“But I could have got'you a larger pair
without that,” he whined, as if he were in
dreadful pain.
“They are quite large enough, my dear
sir,” I replied, hacking away; “but 1 like
plenty of yentilation.”
He shuddered again. .
“Give me another pair I" I said fiercely, as
if I were thirstingvfor destruction. '
“Will you have a larger size? Do," be .
murmured. “Don't hurt them,” he added,
with retl pathos. ,
“No," I said, molodramatically. “Give me
some larger scissors. ‘
I saw a large pair of scissors on the counter,
and, seizing them, cut away at two or three
pairs as eagerly as a child cutting up paper.
The more I cut the more puzzled and dis—
,trcsscd he looked. “There, that will do,” I
said, throwing down the money and pocket-
ing the gloves.
. “Will you have any paper ?'Oli l dear!"
he roared, as if the scissors had been ripping
him open, and he was recovering from the
shock.
"No, indeed; not I. Belinda shall be re-
venged !” I groancd between my teeth.
“Thus will I destroy my hated rival. ”
Ho backed away from me as I waved the
scissors in the air, and I could see by his ter—
rified face that he thought I was stark, staring
mad. As I was leaving the shop I looked out
and said: '
“It’s a lovely morning, isn’t it ?” It was 7
o’clock in the evening, and raining in tor-
rents. .
“Don’t talk nouescnsc, sir,” he replied
angrily, but evidently very frightened and
astonished. _
With a hideous grimace I left the shop and
jumped into. the carriage. In five mimics I
was at 'tho theatre,.tryi’ng to amuse the au-
dicucc with memorplcxifies of Mr. Spiccr
Rumford, while the puzzled shopman was
brooding in the little back parlor over this
strange adventure with his “Mysterious Cus—
tomer."—l[r. J. L. Toole, in the Stage Door.
The Fast Young Man.
He belongs to that class of young men who
have white hands and wear stylish clothes,
and who are rather apt to look down‘upon
browu~fisted farm boys and youths who delve
at. the sturdy mechanical trades. To their.
mindsggentleman is a man who smokes ex-
pensive segars, wears , fine. clothes, drives a
fast horse and never works any. It is their
pride to be a little “fast," perhaps; to laugh
to scorn old—fashioned honorable dealing.
They have no reverence for church or state,
or any of the things that their ancestors vou-
eratcd. They are older men at twenty than
their fathers were at fifty—so old, indeed,
they have found out that patriotism is dead,
religion a thing for old women, and enthusi-
asm a sign of lunacy.
Life has come easy to thescAmerican
young men. Whatever they wanted have
been supplied to them from the time they
were born. Their anCestors were the strong,
pioneer farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, and
occasionally tailors and cobblcrs of this coun-
try. These ancestors may not, in all cases.
have been able to read and write,and possibly
some of them went barefoot all summer ex-
cept' when they went to church, but they
were men who were in the habit of working.
Physically, mentally and morally, they were
giants compared {with their degenerate dc-
sceudauts of to—day. to young men to whom
everything comes easy. They toiled early
and late, gathered together gold and lands, in
rain and sunshine, and left their descendants
at once the curse of nothing to do.
The new generation of young men has no
proper development .of brain or muscle. ‘
They have not had the healthy, steady exer:
else which developes either. It would be
easier for them to steal than to work at any-
thing. There are American men who wore
shoulder straps in the late war are now
tramps and vagrants. They will not work.
It is more their parents’ fault than their own,
that they are incapable of steady exertion.
Their parents themselves sometimes share the
son’s contempt for farm or mechanical labor.
The young‘man sometimes, perhaps, plays at
studying a profession,and becomes a weak-
ling lawyer or doctor in a country where
there are already ten times as many lawyers
and six times as many doctors as they ought ,
to be. But whether the youth studies a pro-
fession or not, still the misguided parents
keep up the supply of money. Everything
came easy to him, money must come easy,
therefore what. wonder if at last he steals it,
when all other sources are exhausted '1’ He is
as incapable of working for it as a South Sea
Islander would be.
