[Prairie Fanner.!
j
r a few weeks I have been
!)fr a contrivance foi copying
icli is so simple, anil yet so use
that I send you this receipt
making it, for the benefit of
•iv readers,
J call it tlie copying pad, and
hink u essentially the same as
K.-.iiig advertised, under a dozen
more names, such as Electro
pb, Copygram, Curatype,
.p^rogram, Manegrapb, etc.,
] is being sold in all the prin
rii ost'es by peddlers at from
to $7 each.
Directions for Making. —Take
> ounces of gb.10 (a'hite glue or
larino looks best, but any clear
1e will do), soak it in cold water
til soft, then pour off all the
.ter, add one ounce of brown
!^ar to tlie glue, heat until dis
!ved, then thoroughly mix in
.1 ounces of glycerine and poor

How to Use It,— Suppose you
ve lost a horse and wish to
nd fifty or sixty postal cards
neighboring places to publish
0 fact. You write your notice
)On one card, and when the ink
dry, you place the ink side
>wn upon the copying pad.
"ter a minute or so when you
move it, you will find most of
k has remained upon the pad.
■iy an unwritten card upon the
id; press it gontly down with
ur finger, and then remove it.
>n have a copy of that written
pon the first card, and so on
itil you have taken fifty or one
mdred copies. Theu wash off
) iak from the pad with a wet
>nge, and you can copy another
Write the original with purple
!<, good copying ink will do, if
is reduced one-half in quan
y by evaporation. The ink
id for rubber stamps is just
'it, it can be bought at most
>i.hecaries. The following is
receipt for making the ink I use:
1 to o'tnee of purple aniline dis
!vc " in seven ounces of weter;
.Id one half ounce alcohol; also
Iphuric ether. This also makes
oo 1 common writing and copy
{ink by doubling the quantity
water. Nurseymen will de
vo great benefit from this
; «f. hod of copying; a sort of ad
i'h to their regular printing,
under a late ruling of the Post
Tice Department, matter dupli
ed in the above manner pas
in the mails at tho sa*ue rate
printed circulars.

lag the farmer hears of tho

•'Somebody ou the Line. 1 '
A young fellow od Main street j
annouuce j Lis intention, one day j
not long since, to make an en
gagemement with a certain young
lady to go to the theatre. The
announcement was made in tlie
presence of another young fellow,
who had privately determined to
do the same thing with the same
lady, but had deferred it, because
he was not certain that he could
get away from business in time.
He didn't like the idea of No. 1
getting ahead of him, Lot, nor
having a messenger at his dis
posai just »hen, concluded he
would have to submit. No. 1
sent his note, addtes^ed and
couched a la mode, ancl in the
course of half an hour was in
foimed that the missive bau been
left at tho lady's residence, but
that she was not at home, and
would not be there for several
hours.
"Where is she?" inquired he
of the messenger.
"She had just gone out to call
on Miss ," was the response.
"Darn the luck," said No. 1.
"I'll have to wait in suspense
now, uutii she goes home, and
may be she won't get my note
after all,"
No 2 heard this converation
with grim
delight, and he
chuckled to himself contentedly.
Maria was safe for that night—
but, ha! the telephone! Miss
's papa had one in his house,
and he might by its aid, get
ahead of No. 1. The experiment
was worth trying, at any rate.
He rushed to the instrument,
called the exchange, aud desired
to be connected with Major s.
Doue.'
"Good evening, Miss
"Good evening, sir—who is
that?"
•'0, I'm Gawdge "
"Isthat you Gawdge? Why,
how nice"—
"Is Miss at your house?"
After a moments hesitation.
"Yes, sir."
"I would be pleased to speak
to her."
Another pause, thon
"Here she is."
"Miss , is that you?"
"Yes, sir."
"I would like to make aud en
gagement with you for Macau
iey's to-night."
"The devil you would," was
the reply.
Astonishe 1. Gawdge knew not
what to say. Again he made his
proposition. The answer came
back in dulcet tones:
"Oh, cheese that racket; I'm
going with a better looking fellow
than you."
The telephone dropped from
his nerveless grasp, and he fled
the spot. It is even now doubt
ful if he has found out that No.
1, suspecting his design, had
"fixed things"—gotten "on the
line"—and replied for the young
lady from a house on Main street,
The ladies, who had not caught
the interpolated answers, were
. . „ , , .
much surprised at Gawdge s sud
■i it t , i
den silence, aud chagrined at
the fact that repeated calls failed
to get him to answer. But when
the cares of business were over,
and No'. 1 had a chance to get
out towards Maria s home, they
found out all about it, and
laughed until they nearly split
their corsets.
Moral—Don't fool with a tele
phone unless you know who is
"on the line."
Rell&gg made a defamatory
speech about Senator Hill, of
Georgia, the other day. Kellogg
is in a close place, and he knows
it.
A Mouotonons Crinr
The latest accusation the Ii
publicans bring against >1.'' D ;m
ocrais is that of proposing to
"steal Kellogg's seat in the sen
ate." The Ilepublicans have
never been at peace sinja 2876
without some sort of pretext for
charging their opponents with
an attempt to "steal" something
—probably because their own
famous ex; doit in that line haunts
their imagination and lends its
color to ;tll their phantasme.
Everything presented to their
vision takes *!•:■ form of theft or
robbery. The IX m jcv.its tried
to ''steal" tho state ef M ;
they aie preparing to "steal the
presidency; to steal Washburn's
seat in the house un i t % "steal
Kellogg's seat in the senate. Bat
does it never occur to our esti
mable and honest enemies, who
suspect all else of being thieves
but themselves, that there is a
slight inconsistency in yoking the
Main case and the Louisiana
case under the same name ? If
the Maine affair was a§ attempt
to steal a state from the hands
of its people, then the proposi
tion to unseat Kellogg muât be
something other than stealing,
for it is a proposition to restore
a state to its people. Kellogg
does not represent the State of
Louisiana. He was not chosen
by its legislature. It might be
said, to borrow a term from the
Republican vocabulary, that he
stole his present seat with the
aid of a Republican senate two
years as/o, and if ho should now
be ousted it would only be a re
storing of stolen property to its
rightful owners.
The Republicans onght to dis
cover some other crime to im
pute to their opponents. They
must not imagine that because
they are most familiar with steal
ing public positions, stealing is
the only offence that can be
committed.—[St. Louiu liepub

THE TARIFF ON PAPER
I-Iou. J. Floyd King, of Louis
iana, has attained a very envia
ble position during the compara
tively Brief term of his service in
the Hou -e of Representatives.
His management of the inter
oceanic canal question was es
pecially judicious and able.
Mr. King has shown a com
mendable solicitude for the in
terests of the reading public by
introducing a bill to amend tne
existing tariff so as to place on
the free list "All chemical sub
stances and materials imported
exclusively for the manufacture
of printing paper aud printing
iuks, and all sized or glued or
unsized printing paper used ex
clusively for books, magazines,
pamphlets and newspapers."
This chenge in the tariff is abso
lutely necessary in order to coun
teract the large artificial advance
in the price of printing paper
which has recently been estab
lished by a combination of man
ufactures. The highost of civili
zation require that no such tax
bo placed on knowledge. We
hope congress will pass Mr,
I King's bill without delay.— FN.

I could get twice as many names
within two miles of town. A. CuRTIS
To those that wish to go into the bus
iness, the plain facts are : I am (iß years
old aud can dig and brick 30 feet in sand
iu 10 hours with the assistance of two
common laborers. This is a well three
feet in diameter, requiring :i(> brick to
the foot. The price I a>>k is S- per foot
which no one, knowing the cost of dig
ging, etc , and the disposition to be made
of the profits, can say is too much.
I patented the well for charity's sake
and will put tlieni down on the follow
ing terms : 1st. Ten per cent, of the
profits shall be deposited with the au
thorities of the town, city or palish in
which they are made, said fund to bo ap
propriated to the benefit of the poor and
helpless. '2d The balance, 1)0 per cent ,
to bo deposited in any safe bank subject
to my order or my agents order. The
reason that so small a portion of
the profits are left where they are
put down is that there is not more than
one tenth of the United States that thev
can be put down in. It is a plenty and
will clothe the naked and feed the .starv
ing wherever they can be. used. Not. one
cent shall lie appropriated for education.
While I don't wish to sell territory I can
c-ive employment to thousands for a roy
