THE OlfEMlftt’S STORY.
nr p». noan wijjion.
I oru a chemist. Many, doubtlun*, would find
jt Jillloait to define what the duties » f a obemist
are, if saked. Toeach I say, a churnist is a ool
lie. it of facts. It is the bu-dn*H* of Its life to
aid in umuaaking, for the world'a benefit, the
and evil hovering even in the air wu
t.r« at he. burrowing in the earth wo tread, ruing
l ug with tbo food we eat, and Hwitoming in
vh«t we drink.
Then again, the law wails on the chemist,
human being has passed suddenly away. Some-
body thinks there has been foul play. The
chemist examines the body of Ibo supposed vie
lim- The law listens hat in hand to scienco.
The suspected perty trembles in anticipation.
yt»- oracular lips of tbo chemist move; be
name* one out of a fearful list of poisons. It
either strychnine, prussic acid, or that deadly
i.ilif bitter almonds. The law then pnta on
;ts 1st. takes tho decision into court, and hangs
the prisoner.
Iu short, the chemist must know the whys
»Ld wherefores of everything in the phenomena
,.f life, as far aa foe bio man can know. The
composition of the ocean he must bo familiar
with , he must l>o able to name the gasses of
ibe air, nml capable of resolving tbo buoian
body itself mb) invisible vapors. I am tbo oo-
ropant of this responsible and ini|iortant jKisi
i, , n in the Medical College of I* .
It was about eleven o’clock on a stormy even,
leg thut I bade good night to my student, Tom
Richard, »l the door of my laboratory, at the
tunth eiid of the college building.
*'(r«Ka!-i<)ght, Professor,” said Tom; wearo
going to buv« s fall of hydrogen, oxygen, and a
Irort* of Mite*."
llulrogeu mid oxygen— in onr nomenclature,
II. O — is water.
•J h«*pe,” I said, in answer to Tom’s playful
m>r«K “that it will not ra»u before I get home. ’’
“On no: it wont for an hour yet,” said Tom.”
“I’fit n," J said with a sigh, noticing that the
n creary in my barometer wmh falling, a sign of
n violent storui, *T slmll certainly get wot.”
Tow was very anxioiu* to know what would
keep mo up after twelver o’clock ; so I told him
I wMShlmutto commence analyzing the stomach
of s Mrs. Johnson, whose bnsbsnd now lay in
I 1 . jail, just across the road from tbs college,
on suspicion that he was the murderer. Tom
Mid I hsil worked bard enough that day and do-
a*nred the night to myself, lie spoke the truth.
Still 1 had delayed examining the woman’s
Ntoiiuch so long, and the trial was so near At
hand, that I could not iu conscience pat olT the
rumination farther, although I had heard seve
ral rUsaert recite at the different publio schools
iu ih* morning, had delivered a lecture iu the
college proper that afternoon, and one in the
UUiratory that eveniog, hr aides attending to
my several duties aa poiico surgeon daring the
diy.
Ah Tom was passing out cf the colltyp* yard,
through the gate, his head turned, bidding
me good night; he brushed against a man stand
ing with hia back to the college and his face
toward the prison. The street lamp showed
me that the man was clad in tbo polieo uni
form.
llo entering my laboratory, I took down a glass
jar from a shelf, and pat down bpfare my sink
to « xaminc it. The jar, which •entatuea Mr*.
JiiUijMin'ft niouiBuh. »*• aBTBsA ny a oiotn, duly
tinl with Kiting* anti pro petty sealed with my
..ffleial seal iu red mi. Breaking through the
clolti anil leal, I lifted the atomnch oat with n
th-ireting bonk «n<l l*i«i It on the white platter
U(,.re inn; then became bnaily on Raged in ap
plying than teat* to it* oontent* by which we
detect the pteaence of injurious substances.
An bonr had possetl since the depsrtnre of
Jonng Htcharda. I hatl earofnlly emptied the
canton ta of tlte atomach into a n am bar of bowls
anti basins. I had labor* d hard to discover
traces of poison in all this, bnt bad lieen nnanc-
resafnl. Joe Johnson, the anspeoted man, had
breu a atodant c.f mino a few years before. I
thought him a Rood-beartod, intelligent fellow,
only a little wild; and really began to hope that
he might prove inuocent; when tiuong the mac
erated fowl I came upon a amall. infloitesimial
white grain. Hy careful manipulation and the
nso ot my magnifying glass I managed to get
this upon a piece of amoked glass, and exam
ined it.
I was then oortain I bad discovered arsenic:
hot to make aaanraneo ilonbly anre. I deter-
tuinod to apply a well-known test for that poi
son. Accordingly, I placed in the womans
atotnach the nsnat aoida, and then tnrnod on the
hlow-pipe flime, and presently thero appeared
teat brilliant metallio mark worthy of Cain a
hrow, which is the sign and aignot of tho Poison
Fiend.
"Yes,” I exclaimed, aa I saw that fatal blazon,
"Joe Johnson in the mnrdererof biawife! With
the evidence of that mark to back me, no power
cjn save him from the rope!"
•‘Oo yon really think so ?" aaid a calm squeak
ing voioe behind me. ,
1 turned quickly and discovered a tall, lank
policeman, having red, weak and watery eyes,
■landing at my ofttoe door and staring in. Ilia
t.oJv looked aa if it had been rolled out long be
tween hia hands, like a molaaaea candy stick.
His nose was merely an elongated, Heehy ping,
and bia forehead was decorated with two red
streaks instead of eyebrow*. He hod no expro*-
moo at all in hia face, and hia policeman * bat
waa ao large that it threatened to settle down
on hia shoulders.
ilia uniform reassured me, and I addres-od
him with some impatience:
"My friend, I suppose I am wanted to attend
an ir.qneat—or what ia your purpose ^
“So, doctor, tho man ain't dead yet.'
•'Anything in the anrgieal way?"
1 was police surgeon as well ns ooroner.
"No."
••Wall, then, why am I sent for at thia time
of night ?"
“Don’t bother, Ferfosaer; the man ain t dead
vet; bnt they say ho will be before morning."
"Are doctor* attending him?"
“Ob, bo’s in good hands, Perfesser.”
"What'a the matter with him?"
"Well," said tbeofflolal, “some folk* ray be *
got ao much knowledge into him that ho can t
lire nnder it."
“Cerebral disorder, eh?"
“What ?" naked the man.
"Drain disorder, I mean; something wrong
here."
I touched my forehead, and ao did he, as be
said:
"Aye; and 1 thought I'd drop in and tell yon
if you was going to the station to-morrow to
take a look and aea if "it's poet mortem or not
Decides, I wanted to see where I canid always
find Ton in ease of need.”
I bowed, and attrtbnted hia visit to • feeling
of cariosity. He sat on the sink, one rubbered
foot thrown over the other, and wiped bis noee
with a dirty hankerehief several time*, while
his eye wandered abontlike Christopher Colom-
bn* after dUeoveriea. Finally he spoke, like
one who thought himself called to say some
thing.
"Perfeasor, there baa been an accident this
afternoon t terrible, too.”
"Ah 1" aaid L
“Awfnl!” said he.
•'What was it?" , _ , v :
“Nitro glycerine explosion np in the iron
mill, , hundred fellow-mortals bora ted!"
“Sad!"
“Affecting, very." Here he rubbed bia mouth
with the back of bit hand. “Professor what i*
that nitro-glyoerino ?” .
"It ia a very dangerous article, I answered,
hsppy to display my knowledge. “It has nearly
twice the doetrnotiveness of gunpowder, bat.
unlike it, doe* not explode on the application of
heat. A red-hot coal dropped into it will not
explode it. It will not freeze; it i* yellow and
greasy. Its symbols in our nomenclature are
03. H5, (No. 3) 3, 0«."
"Yon don’t mean to say so!" mid the officer,
interrupting me in disagreeable ton os in the
very middle of a choice extract from one of my
Wares. “Why, but yon hain't told me how it
doe* go off. If fire won't boat it, what in—(hem)
-will?"
I told him if it were pressed or anything fell
on it, it would explode.
“Plsoo it under the ornaher of a eider mill,
alrike it with a hammer, let a weight fall on it
from a height—"
“Tee," said my man, “and that mnaas it
voloanar, does it?. How does it come, Fer-
feraer?"
“In little caM—why, like these ?” said I, dis
covering that there wss a little can of it on the
marble aink, which I bad earelecaly neglected
to replace in the cellar. I then took e little of
the glycerine, spread it on an anvil and struck
it with a hammer. A alight explosion and
fiune burst from the paper.
“No, re ally, "said the policeman, staring back.
“I suppose, Professor, that that can would
make a mighty noise if allowed to explode
here ell at onoe ?"
‘ It wonld blow the entire building all to
aroma," aaid I, resuming the analysis of Mm.
Johnson's stomach.
"No!" I heard the polieeman remark, in
deliberate Yankee tones; “yon don't say ao?"
The next moment I lay on my back, a gag in
my month, terribly frightened and riek at hurt.
O ter me stood the polieeman, and the first thing
that functionary did was—looking me straight
m the flee—to take off hia nose! He then rid
bimaelf of bia red eyebrows, hair, cap, and be
came a determined looking fellow, with tho eyes
of a fiend and the nose of a Roman.
“So you think, aaid the metamorphosed, in
the tones of a gentleman, “that nothing can
save Joe Jobnaon from tbe rope ? Poor fellow!
it does look like it. Bat, my dear Professor,
Joe Johnson i* fortunate enough to have in me
a devoted friend, aa well as brother. I h«ve
undertaken to nave him, and he shall he saved!
In order to this end it will be neoanaary to re
move from tbe face of tbe earth not only the
atotnach of bi* miserable wife yonder, bnt also,
my dear professor—I'm sorry to be obliged to
««y it, for I believe yon were my brother's
teacher and friend, yourself aa well.”
I saw that he wa* in deadly earnest.
“Yonr death most apparently result from ae-
eident—at least, ao it mnat seem to the authori
ties. My brother is in jail, and they will not
an-rect him, and they certainly trill not soaped
me.”
What terrible deed waa on hia brain hatching?
Waa be going to mnrder me? The hard-earned
knowledge of a aooro of years I would have
given for power to utter one single cry.
He look me in hi* arms and plaoed me in
chair, and bonnd me to it, and then from a side
pocket he prodneed another rope.
Waa it myself who was to hang instead of
Johnson?
No j yes. lie placed the line pnlley-like over
an arm of tbe hanging chandelier. Thia waa
altogether too alight a support even for one of
my alender frame. It waa not to be hanging,
then?
To one end of tbe rope ho attached a weight,
and raised it by pulling the other six or eight
feet from the floor. The loose end he secured
to the sink. Waa he mad? Did be mean to
draw mo nnder this weight, and send me ont of
the world in a novel way by letting it fall and
dashing my brains ont ?
To the sink end he attached a long yellow
string.
Under tho weight on the Door be pltoed tbe
can of nitro glycerine ! I recognized the yellow
string: it waa a fuse, and it wonld bnrn sixty
minutes, ^^^umld born a cross the marble slab
tlicro of itakpiiting any sub
stance warn my
DoK|p> to see tbi
Johnson's brother. *
I believe I enraed bii
only broathe through
veins were swelling and gn
head.
Drawing a match from bis pocket, he lighted
and applied it to tbe fnse, that little tyrant that
gave a man an boar lo live, and killed him at
the end of it—that little irresponsible terror
that, leaa than rncrcifnl Providence, told a man
tbe second he waa to die, if fright and honor
spared him to itself!
Slowly the flame crept, anake like, aronnd the
twine.
“In one honr,” aaid the poisoner's brother,
‘yon wilt lie in heaven or hell. I will watch
with yon for half an honr, and tbe other half
yon will spend alone.”
He sat down Home minnte* in a chair watching
the dame. Then ho arose and took tbe piece
of porcelain with the murderer's mark thereon
from the table and shook hia bead gloomily.
‘•I nin chemist enongh to know it ia arsenic,”
he auid. “Yea, those bright, metallio eyes, a
betrayer of the gnilty! Science, thon wonldst
kill my brother! Thon abalt save him. Let
ns seo in whose hands thon art moat powerfnl.
Here ia a man who, by tby aid, bids tbe poison
sprite Uprise and writes in brilliant characters
a foul oonfeaaion on this piece of porcelain.—
Bnt behold, O science! It is no sooner written
than, by thy aid, the whole confession and thy
ebosen servant aa annihilated. Let the good

eyes. I con id
'Mtrils, and great
xng hot in my fore-
professor use hia chemicals, the bad brother
uDly asks—a little can of nitro-glyeerine.”
I heard thia speech, indeod; bnt great heav
ens • »t waa my eye« and not m T “ — *a-i —
bnsieat then; for beneath tho table, oovaredhy
tho crimson ©loin-t .ntuuxn
and which I faoed, appeared tho head of a
child. The hair waa rnmpled, and tho bine eyes
were just opening from sleep. The intelligent
forehead waa wrinkled strangely. It was my
boy Billy. I waa afraid he wonld cry “papa.
If be did, tbe implaeable man wonld add the
mnrder of the ahild to the mnrder of the father.
But uiy boy did none of this. He had, I sup
pose, crept nnder the table unknown to me,
and fallen asleep there. I tried to tell the little
fellow to hide again, and wait for the final half
honr when my tormentor wonld be gone. Wheth
er he understood mo or not, aided by what he
bid heard, I did not know; bnt he quickly
with Irew hia littlo curly bead, first kisaing hia
hand lightly at me. and then shaking his fiat at
the achemer watching ao belligerently his dumb
fire agents.
The half honr wore alowly away. O heavens ’
what agony did I anffer! not for myself, but
for my child. A light noise might discover hi*
presence ; the match might rnn Its tether soon
er than waa expeoted. He might be murdered
or blown to atoms. . .
Tho fate burned on—on. Tho half hour is
nP Tho brother of tho murderer rises to go! Joy!
“Commit your soul to God’s keeping, be
said. “You hold the eTidenoes of my brother s
guilt-nothing can save yon now
With that he tnrned to take his hat from off the
table covered with tbe crimson doth, beneath
which hid my priceless boy. Something at
tracted his attention. He held ont his hands
and leaned forward. I thought be had discov
ered my boy! No! ho waa lifting something in
either band—the wires of the electrio battery.
In another instant my boy had leaped from un
der tho table, and waa turning the crank fast
and furiously.
Tho murderer's brother waa in tbe power of
my boy. He conld not drop tire wires; ho was
helpless and motionless. How my boy cried
for help. Tbe old college rang again. The
prisoner's brother added hia voioe to my boy a
n hia agony. He begged, he beseeched—all
hia nerves were racked—great wave* of galvan
ism leaped, anrged, and trembled, and jarred
over every sensitive nerve and fibre. Still my
boy waa inflexible, and shouted and tnrned fas
ter. Uoperceivod, upon the marble, in the
track of tho burning fuse was a pool of inflam-
able oil. In an instant a great length burned
away. It wonld last jast fivo minutes and no
more.
"Father!” ahonied my boy, “if no assistance
cornea, thia villain mnat die with ns; I daren't;
let him free. Help! help! help!"
Alas! I conld not answer him.
Rut some one else did! Thank God! Tho
fuse is burnt np! The rope ia on fire, the nitro-
glycerine! The door opens, Tom Bichards on a
midnight visit to tbe slefc, has heard the cry.
He comprehends all, seiaes the can in hia hand—
the weight descends, indeed, but not on the
death-dealing oil No, down it goes through
the office floor, down, down, like an evil spirit,
to give back a dull, metalie echo from the atones
of the cellar beneath.
AYe are saved!
Joe Johnson, the prisoner, was banged, but
his brother remains unpunished by the law, for
he stabbed himself with a knife, and thus
escaped the hangman’s rope.

From the Chicago Journal, September 20.]
Deab Sm • You have recently aaid, in the
Golden Age: “ I hold that love, and love only,
constitutes the marriage; that marriage makes
tbe bond, and not the bond the marriage; and
that, aa the contiaet is to love and honor, so
that when the lore and honor end, the contract
dissolves and tho marriage ceases.” Doubtless
this ia practically true. If you fail to do what
vou promise to do; it the fulfliiment cesses en
tirely, end the bond U by yon utterly broken
and thrown away, undoubtedly yonr crime is
the death ol the contract That fact wm toler
ably familiar aa far back aa the Stone Age, the
savage philosophy of which yon will hardly be
able to prove a golden fruit of new culture.
There probably ia not a decent woman on the
globe who, properly comprehending your state
ment, will not confess its ugly truth. A prom
ise to psy dies when the peying finally ceases.
A promise to Jove and honor die* when the lov-
ing and honoring finally cease. The bright
honor ot the promise being gone, its veraetty
gone, everything that it waa entirely gone, of
course it it gone, with all which it created. And
that ia yonr theory ot the Irestmant of womsn,
to get rid of the marriage by getting rid ol the
contract creating it, and to get rid ot the con
tract by the method of dishonor!
I take in band tbe case which yon commonly
put, that of the man against the woman. You
say, “I would no more permit the law of the
land to enchain me to a woman whom I did not
love than I wonld permit the same law to hand
cuff mesa a slave.'' I omit part of your sentenoo,
which does not affect the cise of man simply,
in hia treatment of woman and wife. In what
I quote jon declare that you will not permit the
law of the land to hold you to your own free
promise and sacred contract. Have you no
logic ? U this a question of taking you by force
and handcuffing you to a woman against your
will ? If it is not, then there is no argument in
i slave’s ft
your comparison. Ia slavery the
i free
and honorable contract? Hit is not, then there
ia not a jot of mason in the assumed analogy.
No, Sir; this ia a question of yonr contract
with a woman, made upon free and urgent de
sire, freely and deliberately made, made with
the combined seriousness and aacredness of re
ligion and law, religion for the reality or tbe
bond, and law for the never and form of the
bond, the religion not leaning one whit for truth
on tba law, nor the law intruding one hair's
breadth open tbe religion, bnt both agreeing
seal a oontraet the most firm and sure, as it
the moat free and deliberate, known to human
economy.
The matter of some other relation than a mar
riage of love and honor would of course raise
other questions. But these I need not diacufa.
If one wants a concubine, one or more, the
world ia wide and hell thereof sufficiently ao-
oessible. But 1 assume that yon mean, not that
consciously and deliberately, but good and true
marriage. Therefore, I am bound to find in
your words the declaration that yon will not let
tbe law of tbe land hold yoo to your own free
and solemn contract. And yonr reason for re-
fusing to have the form ot honor maintained by
tbe law ia that you do not mean to be held to
the fact ot honor. It is not that yon would have
religion alone oonatrain yon to fnlfiU yonr con
tract, bnt that you want a chance to violate your
contract. Yon eay “love should be like religion,
free from mandate by tbe civil law,” and you
prophesy that “tbe next generation will gild
this sentiment with fine gold. ” The sentiment
has been done in brass a sufficiently long time
to be familiar, and wonld not be mnch improved
if tbe next generation should make of it a golden
calf. I mean the sentiment of love free to vio
late contracts. Yon seem to invoke religion
ro fact, yon invoke nothing bnt rascality. Far
yon demand freedom to violate the religion, as
well sa the law, of marriage, to break yonr re
ligions promise as well aa yonr legal. Yon only
care to have the law lot yon alone in order that
yon may leave the woman to whom religion has
bonnd yon.
There is bnt one ground which I need con.
aider here to make plain the infamons character
of tbe lioenae to violate both religion and law
which yon demand for yonraelf; and that ia the
reason which the woman yon wish to pat sway
bad to require of yon a contract, a deeply relig
ions and firmly legal oontraet, aa the basic of
marriage. Y'on desired her to give yon, irrevo
cably, that honor of person and of life, which
is the sacrament of her existenoe. Yon wished
to take from her sureties of marriage which
once given are forever given. There doubtless
are females diseased in body and imagination
from their birth, to whom honor ia not honor
nnder any constraint* of solemn promise of un
changing fidelity. Bnt the average decent wo
man, to whom nakedness ia not necessary to the
perfect loxury of chastity, requires, and mast
always require, the strongest assurance of that
iroteotion for her honor which only a deeply re-
igions promise of unchanging fidelity can give.
If yon do not mean to offer this in seeking a
woman in marriage, then yon do not mean love
and honor, and propose a marriage whish ia a
swindle and an outrage. Snob rascality ia bnt
too possible where there ia question of winning
a woman, tbe winning to enjoy is so uneb more
to the average male mind than the winning to
love and honor. In a state of doable guardian-
ship of woman, by religion and by law, it is
still a fearfully common thing for men to siwn-
lato or imagine, nnder tho impulse of desire,
love and honor which do not exist Hence tbe
neoeesity to woman of law to give form to the
fact, or tbe fancy, of love and honor, which
form ber sole security in marriage. Law will
forbid tbe man to let bis desires wander; it
will, at least, compell him to maintain a decent
form of permanent protection for woman. Tbe
double contract, religions for tlie real fact, and
legal for tbe outward cover and form, i* no more
than woman may demand. v
I have spoken only of the woman’s honor. It
were enongh to speak of that. But beyond
that is ber chance iu life, which, on tUo average,
is terribly injured by the miscarriage ot a mar
riage relation. She can give bnt once tbe
fairest freshness of ber nature. Too often, if
act aside, she most remain a rejected thing,
perhaps helpless to live, except by methods of
direct toil or uttermost shame. It must be more
than a slight cause, more than an ordinary rea
son, which can make ber willing to forego the
form at least of love and honor, which may be
decent even if it be empty.
Bnt, still more, there is motherhood, adding
every way to the stringency of tbe necessi
ties already considered. The mother and chil
dren mast live, mnA have earn and kindness for
K iars onward into tbe futuro, unit depend on
a marriage already existing, and on tbe hns-
U (tbomiu'erVan3mfiBt i iM& , *K'S.^l K,n,,ihi,il y
form at least and decency, if not in faot and
blessed sweetness, to tbe man who stands be
fore God and tbe law held to render these by
the most solemn of contract*. Therefore woman
cannot bnt ask for, yea, insist on, this double
contract. Beligion alone would answer tbe pnr-
joae if it wonld enchain wandering desires and
iiandcoff libertine rascality. Bnt this religion
alone cannot do, as sorely as law, with religion,
can do it. The man who honestly means a re
ligions contract, cannot- refnse to woman tbe
added assaraoee of the legal oontraet If any
man does not honestly mean wbat bo promises
to enchain and handcuff him is utterly and ab
solutely necessary, if restraint of wrong doing,
ia anywhere a necessity. No other than a crimi
nal can feel bia oontraet with a woman as chains
and slavery.
What, then, Mr. Tilton, do yon mein by yonr
declaration that yon will not let the law of the
land bold yon to a contract which yon wish to
violate ? If yon mean criminal outrage, yon will
find tbe law of tbe land able to hold yon, or at
least able to brand yon as a monster.
In the last issne of the Golden Age, you ar
gue the matter again. Yon ray that “Love ia
love—not liking, not friendliness, not kindness,
not esteem, bnt love—and if a man has ceased
to fed it for tbe woman who sits at the other
end of hia breakfast table, which ia the most
moral—or the least immoral if yon will—for
him to break the chains which bind him, break
them as gently and unselfishly as ho may, bnt
in some arise set himself free, pnt himself in a
position to live a tree life; or to wear his fet
ters uncomplainingly, silently, bnt invoking
meanwbilo all the lightnings of heaven to do
for him what he has not the courage to do for
himself ?”
If this were meant for the personage of a gay
rake, justifying variety “at the head of his
breakfast table,” I conld understand it. Yon
speak of the man only, as if the woman were
not of mnch aocount in tho matter. Yon seem
to bold her cheaper than men of free Uvea com-
monly hold a mistress. Her honor, which you
cannot give back, her wifehood, which rests on
her honor, ber motherhood, which must con
tinue none the less for yonr discretion, and to
whiob yon owe eternal fidelity, these yon make
of no soeonnt—she merely “site at the head of
yonr table,” and it ia a question of leaving her
to sit there alone, or of driving her out into the
world. And that yon call the Age of God. It
looks to me more like the time when tools were
first made of bronze after the ooarae patterns of
the Age of Stone. There ia not so mnch man-
liness in your whimpering appeal to the moral
law aa rnled the breasts of rude cave-dwellers,
who wonld have broken yonr head with a stone
hatchet, and served you right, if yon had thus
proposed to quit yonr marital obligations. You
might easily be set down as half fool and half
knave in thia plea, if it were possible to see
that in either character yon are all deficient.
Yon ait there wishing ber dead; yon confess
that what yon thus do “hat the spirit ot mur
der in it.” Yon quote a church member who
aaid that it was impossible for human nature
not to cherish this murderous wish under such
circumstances; and then yon triumphantly ask
whether it is better to mnrder the woman or to
pnt her away. Either may be bettor for the
woman, bnt the question ia what yon are bonnd
to do, not what ia worst of tbe Crimea yon ray
yon intend to choose between.

The Greatest Improvement or the Age,

PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON GIN
7'OR the past forty years I have been engaged in
„ _ the manufacture of Cotton Gins, aud have eet
to work on plantations, and bave seen in operation
hundreds of Gin 3, and have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing this tho BEST WORKING GIN I ever
saw. It runs light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break tho roll—no use for
self-feeders—and no trouble to feed. The commit
tee at the late Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being
so well satisfied of ita superiority over anything
they ever saw, awarded me the premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any one in want of a Gin.
A sample of Exoeleior and also of the Griswold
Gin can be seen at Car hart A Curd’s Hardware
