THE SOUTHERN WORLD, SEPTEMBER 15,1882, 18 Having placed the watch on the table, the not be out of place to speak of sitting on signor shook the hat and turned it towards the audsence, showing it to be partly filled with loose bank-notes. These he began to remove by the handful, placing them on the table with the watch with many excla mations of surprise, amidst roars of laugh ter from the spectators. Then he shook the hat again to see if was empty at last; and hearing something rat tle, fished out a ring. “ A gold ring," he exclaimed, holding it up before theaudience. “ Adiamond ring!" letting it sparkle in the light. “ Now what a temptation this is to place before an hon est conjurer! I’ll have nothing more to do with this hat and its contents." With these words he produced the climax of astonishment by handing the h <t back to the owner witli the bank-notes crowded into it, and giving him the watch and ring. The most pleased and wonder-struck per son present was probably the planter him self, as he showed the treasure to his wife and children, and they recognized the genu- iness of the articles. Perhaps George was not so surprised as the rest, but be had reason to feel a keener joy than anybody else. Meanwhile the signor stepped back to the platform and said, with a bow,— 11 Ladies and gentleman, the evening per formance is ended.” Mr. Oatman called on the conjurer again the next day, and urged him to accept a re ward for the recovery of his property, and also to explain the way the thing was done. The signor declined to do either, saying that if he should explain his tricks to every body who asked about them, he would soon have no surprise left for the public. The planter thanked him most heartily, and they parted the best of friends. Ttie youth he had helped to rescue from ruin also called, and begged to know how he could show his gratitude to the friendly conjurer. “There is only one way," said the signor, taking him by the hand and looking earnest ly into his eyes. “ Be kind and true to your good parents and dear sister, and keep your promise, never, never to fall into the odious vice of gambling again." . The youth renewed his vows, which the conjurer had the satisfaction, long after wards, of knowing had been faithfully kept._ As for the planter's family, wo may be sure that they never ceased to think with gratitude of the wonderful Signor Blitz.— Youth’s Companion. The Old Ball Fence. The placing of barbed wire fences around farms, usurping the place of the old rail fence, destroys half of the pleasure of farm ing There is something about the old rail fence that is real comfortrble, ami the barbed wire fence is forbidding, cold, repulsive. Until you come to think of it, there does not seem os though there was a great deal of solid comfort in a rail fence, but there is. Did you ever see two old farmers leaning against a rail fence, whittling, and talking politics or a horse trade for hours together 7 They are more comfortable, and rest more than they would if they were occupying the softest sofa, or the best stuffed arm chair in the world. There are so many shapes a man can get into, to rest, about a rail fence. First the furmer will fold his arms and rest them on the top rail, and lean his breast on the fence, and talk for half an hour, until his legs are tired, then lie will step one foot up on the second rail from the bottom, and stand and whittle for half an hour, until the top of the rail is as polished as a piece of mahogany. Then he will change feet and lean one elbow on the second rail from the top, and sharpen bis knife on his boot, and talk for half an hour about how he is going to pay the mortgage on his farm next year. After that position becomes irksome he will turn his back to the fence, stand on his heels, and place his two elbows on the top rail, and lean against the fence, and for half an hour he will tell about how the old mare that he was trying to trade off cleaned out all the teams on the road coming back from the celebration at lown, after the fire works on the 4th, and how, if he wasn't fixed just as he is, and wanted the twenty dollars boot money to send Nathan off to the select school, there is no man on ear. h that could buy that mare. Then he will get tired and stand around sideways, put his left arm up on the fence, and begin to whit tle again, and swear the man that runs the cheese factory down at the corner is skin ning us farmers out of our eye teeth. With out going into details as to ninety-nine other combinations by which a farmer can rest on, about or against a rail fence, it may top of a fence. The farmers, after trying several positions, will instinctively climb up the fence and rest on the top rail, their feet resting on the third rail from the top, which is always laid with projection enough to make good footing, and an hour will pass as the fellows talk of the times when they set tled in the countrv, and of the hardships they have endured, aud how the children have grown up and gone away, and the con versation will drift in a sleepy channel, and the sun will begin to sink in the west, and the horny-handed sons of toil will suddenly remember that the chores are to be done, and with a “good night, L'ge," and a, “Drop around agin to-morrow, Ike," they will sep arate and one will take a milk pail and a one-legged stool and go towards the lot where the cows have come home, while the other will go across the road to ills barn and throw down some hay for the horses, and they will both go to bed at eight o'clock as tired as though they had been mowing. But they had a splendid, easy visit on the old What Younq Men Should Do.—Every young man should make the most of him self intellectually, morally and physically. He should depend upon his own efforts to accomplish these results. He should be willing to take advice from those competent to give it, and to follow such advice unless his own judgment or conviction, properly founded, should other wise direct. He should never be discour aged by small beginnings, but remember that all great results have been wrought out by apparently slight causes. He shonld never, under any circumstan ces, be idle. If he cannot find the employ ment he prefers, let him come as near his desire as possible—he will thus reach tin- object of ambition.

More than fifty thousand of theae Washers are now in use, giving perfect satisfaction. We have thousands of testimonials front all parts of the country—from Public Institutions. Hotels, clergy men. Lawyers, Farmers, Editors and every class of people, and the Editorial Commendations of all the principal papers In the land. In 1878, The Blssell Manufacturing Company pur* chased the patent, and after two years’ experiment ing succeeded In simplifying the Washer, and In adapting It to use Inanyslsa and style of holler, as also In tne old-fashioned Iron wash-pot so much used In the South. THE PRINCIPLE OP THE WAKIIEK. The operation of tfce washer consists In rapidly and continuously forcing the hot soap suds contained In the boiler from the bottom to the surface through a tube, and then drawing It down again through the tolled clothing, while that Is expanded by the bolllnr heat—causing It to remove every purtlcle of dirt ani_ leaving the articles after rinsing thoroughly cleansed and bleached. It Is Impossible for It to tear or wear, or In any way Injure the fabric, as there Is no friction whatever. HOW DOEN THE WASHER WORK? The Washer having been placed in the bottom of the boiler or pot, as soon as the water commences to boil, all which Is beneath the washer being surround ed with heated metal becomes hotter than that In the remainder of the boiler, and thus has a tendency to rite through the tube, while at the same time all the steam formed beneath the washer Is forced to pass out through the tube, and carries along with It the water In tne washer and tube with great power. Us place being supplied by the water outside, wbteh Is rapidly drawn Into the washer and In turn heated and expelled, thus creating a constant and powerful current upward through the tube and downward through the fabric, giving a tvoter force which cannot be obtained In any other way. The fabric being ex panded to Its utmost by the boiling water, the dirt, softened by the action of the soap, Is swept away by the force ol the flow. Thus we have, 1st. The greatest possible heat: 2d. Perfect chemical actlou of the soap; and 3d. Force of water. All of which are necessary to thoroughly cleanse and purify any fabric. What it it that clt ante* the clothing In the ordinary mtx%qof washing by rubbing, pounding, squeeslng, drawing between rollers, etc.? It la the filling of the fabric with soap suds and then forcing it out again, and repeating the process until the clothes are clean. But these processes require hand labor. You must ttJMf or n,b * whn * w,lh tha ROBBIhb WABHhK the labor it dUpnued with, and any other work of the house may bedoue while the washing Is doing itteif. THE I’APAITTY OF THE WANIYER. There are two sixes—the No. I or family alee, which works In any family boiler or wash-pot having a bot tom 8S by 8 Inches or larger, and holding 10 to 12 gal* Ions of water. It will wash bed or table linen, a boil er full In 10 or 1& minutes, wearing apparel in from 30 to 90 minutes, without rubbing, and requires no pre vious preparation of the clothes, such as soaking over nl/ht. Take the clothes dry. and when the Wtinher a ktn thoroughly at WOKK. fill the boiler, gently pressing them down with a stick. Use only good soap and soft water. 1 f the water is hard It may be softened by a small piece of borax, which Is harm- pieces, from 1.500 to 2,0X) per day. We also make a Washer 5x8 in ‘ties, suitable for use In sunken bottom boilers, of the same capacity as our No. 1, and at same price. THEY ARE HARE OF NOLID It KAN'S, (except the tube), and can neither rutt, corrode, break or wear out. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Q. What kind of boiler do you use? A. Any kind of boiler or pot will do. Q. How can you have a flow of water at the rate of ten gallons per minute In a boiler holding only ten gallons? A. The same water Is used over and over again: and to be thus used. It must pass down through and through the fabric, and this with the soap aud heat does the work. Q. Can you wash flannels and colored clothes? A. We wash anything that can be washed. Flannels and colored clothes need but little soap, and from five to ten minutes of the full operation of the wash er. Flauntin nhould be rlnteil in hot water. It Is the change from boiling to coi.d water that contracts the fibre, musing them to shrink. Fugitive prints will part with their colors by any process, but fast colors will not be Injured. Q.
