The Year of Ninety-Two.
When looking over history's page .
Great things appear to view,
But greater things will be recorded
In the year ol ninety-two.
The country train now has started,
With few stops it will go through;
It will land in Washington 'i'iry
, In the year of ninety-twe.
The conductor is a farmer
And knows tho work to do;
'He -will gttidc them safely to the city
1 Ib ;he year of ninety-two.
All men npon this laborers train
Are dressed in gruyaud blue,
And they'll tread the streets ot the capitol
In the year of uinety-two.

We liave now arrived at an ae in
thiii cixmtry when wo should be stir
ring the parents ol Ame.ica, vounj
and old, to an active consideration of
tlip mnth'r nf d.iilv rp.he;irsm' niiscni-
ule by the fireside.
By means of this influence, persis
ted in fromjlecade. to devade, have tlij
true love and appreciation of rowd
music leen instilled into the mind and
soul of the German people. By this
influence can we quickly draw our
selves out of-the mire of promiscuous
appreciation and out of the quicksands
of perverted t;iste.
Where. can we witness a prettier an
imated picture than to look in upon a
family gathered after the labors of th
day to render some of the easier cham
ber music of the "masters a daughter
at the piano, a little fellow agitating
the violin, a robust chap menoeuveniig
tne violoncello, a rosy cheeked girl
pouting prettily upon the flute, the
father sawing upon the double bass
upon -the double bass ;
anu uie momer encouraging enner ny :
her presence or by performing upon
ii : 1 1 i
the viola.
So much for the picture. Now let j
us proeeedfoa method of practice in '
order to obtain this result.
The first move in the program is the
encouragement of the earnest study of
stringed instruments. We have had
the piano banged from early morn to
evening late, and it is high time that
the violjn family had a fair show in
the race for artistic development.
It is a bright and encouraging sig-
nificance that the fair sex ;.re making
rapid strides into tin; orche.-tr.il arena,
ami they bid fair to hold their own.
Many of the timid limit their attention
to the strings, while some of the more
courageous' are taking up the reed and
br.tss. The over nice fear that thvir
facial expression may become disar-
ranged, but I have yet to see a face
that has been dishgured or made less
kissable by the practice of wind instru
ments. The royalty of Europe are
'iiking up orchestral instruments. The
Countess of Radnor has an orchestra
of hwdies, many of whom have the
title of ''honorable1' lief ore their names.
A few weeks ago, in Detroit, a br.iss
baud f ladies headed a company, and
it was reported to me that thev exe-
cuted their work in finished style. Virginia led in the movement, and es
Ihe Czar of the liussias, Queen V ic- ( f :iil,-,lw ,1 a confederate home at Uieh
tona and members of her family, numt f(M. the su,)0,t Gf which the
Prince Henry of Prussia, Linpres of stlte expends SfO,000 a year. Pensions
Japan and gueen ot Uouiuania have t() the ;iniouut 0f S5,(.KK) annually are
their favorite instruments, I believe ' ;iS)) p;li,.
you have an orchestra entirely of la-1 ' Alabama has no home, but pays
cues in your cu
lne expense, ror instruction upon
orchestral' instruments is moderate,
and the benefits to be derived from a
better status, physical, mental and
moral, health and happiness, yield an
enormous interest. 111 countrv towns
meetings could be held from houe to
to house, or a moderate sized halt fitted
for occupation. Small groups of the
musically inclined can begin with
Haydn's duos, trios, and then march
on by degrees to a rendition of works
of other masters, quartets, quintets,
octets, &c, a class of works that rarely
receive a hearing outside of our larger
cities. Familiarize our young -folks
with works of this class and we will
quickly arrive at a high state of musi
cal civilization, when a Thomas, Seidl
or Nikisch will always play to over
flowing houses.
I wish to reiterate that here is a rich
field for our young ladies to explore
and develop. Indeed ladies' orchestras,
private and, in a few cases, public, are
Incoming quite the "tad at the pre.
M time, and are bound to become
more so 111 tne iuuire. oeiioois or
music iuid conservatories should give
encouragement to pupils to join an 01-
chestra, which body must be a regular
department .of every well organized
school of mnsic. .
Bice, of Oberlin ; Dana, of Warren,
Ohio : Jacobscdin, of Chicogo; Clans
'and Chadwick, -of Boston, are doing
g.xkl work in this line. I am doing
what I emi at l)e Pauw with an i-
amy increase tins numoer 10 nuy anu
fifty-five the coining season. The suc
cess is very euco'u raging and the stim
ulating influence upon the public very
marked.
. . What a charming picture! is pre
sented to us upon an advent of an am
ateur orchestra. Of course portions
of the rehearsals and concerts are
rather rasping to delicate nerves ; but
this is a great advance upon tne tym
panic snap and crash: of the amateur
brass band. Then again there; i. some
thing ever so much to the advantage,
from all artistic point of view! and ed

How to Sharpen a .Screwdriver.
The screwdriver is found not only in
the 'tool clrest of every mechanic, but in
most 'houses and in not a few offices. U
ranks with the hanimer,the saw and axe
in general utility, and yet - very few
ersons know anything about how' it
should be sharpened so as to do its
work -most-efficiently that is, with
the least expenditure of power and the
least injury to the heads of screws.
In driving a screw into the wood the
force . used to press the screwdriver
against the head iof the screw tends to
aid the latter in penetrating the weotl,
but wlif'ii we attempt to extract a screw
every pound of pressure that we apply
tends to render it nmrc difficult to get
the screw out It therefore becomes
very important that "the. screwdriver
should le o formed that it may be kept
in the nick of the screw by the exertion
of Uie very least degree of force, for if
it has any tendency to slip -out we can
keep it in place only by applying pres
sure, in which case we can - run great
ry of injuring the nick and rendering
it impossible to draw the screw.
If we examine a screwdriver in the
condition in which it is ordinarily found
we shall find that it presents a section
in which I lie sides of the wedge in which
all screwdrivers terminate, are curved
with convex sides outward.
Now, the effect of thus curving the
sides of this wedge is to render it great
ly obtuse.
Moi cover; when we turn the screw
driver, the tendency to slip out of the
nick is just in proportion to theobtuse-
n ess or bluntness of the wed-
wedge, and,
i i p . i p .i
inereiore, i nis lorui is Uie very worst
that can be chosen. In t lie hands of
most good-workmen, therefore, we find
that'the screwdriver ends in a wedge,
ot which t lie sides are perfectly straight.
(This is a very good form, but it is
not equal lo a form in which the sides
of the wedge are curves-, but with the
concave sides turned outward. In this
way we lessen the obtuseia-ss of the
; wedge at the extreme point, and produce
a tujusciew which nr-.y be kept in the
nick by the least possible pressure end-
wise. To grind a st rewdriver into this
form it is necessary t, ue a very small
grindstone, and many of the artilicial
stones found in market answer admira
lty. Most mechanics would (iud it to
heir advantage
o ki ep one of t he:-e
small grindstones for the purpose, and

Thc Husbands Got "Dinner.
"There is absolutely no need of hav
ing a bal cook," sajd the master of tho
house, somewhat dictatorial !y, with a
good Matured albeit lofty pity for fem
inine incompetence. He and his friend
had Jieeii listening with languid inter
est to a conversation between their re
spective wive on the ever fertile theme
of servants. "Now, I do not pretend
to know anything," he went on, "but
I am sure I could train any Biddy, and
I venture t j say that Tom here and I
could serve up a perfectly well cooked,
palatable dinner, with no other aid
than our common sense and general
knowledge of cooking, which was ob
tained during our camping out expedi
tions. I think you "women- make al
togethor too much fuss over such mat
ters; the whole affair is so simple and

I' I have often thought the same
tbir.g,"-joined in the graceless Tom,
"it ought to be easy enojigh to teach a
woman to be a good cook." His wife
turned upon him with a stare of
amazement. "Et tu Brute!' she ex
claimed, laughing. uBut I tell you
what it is, Amy," she said suddenly to
her friend, "let us challenge these men
tp produce the dinner they seem to
think is such an easy matter to concoct,
ami jnove their assertions."
Tne husbands, nothing loth, con
sented to the trial, and it was finally
agreed that the ixt evening's dinner
should be the proof of the argument.
Cook was made happy by a couple of
theatre tickets and a holiday, and the
Cvo men took possession of the kitchen
early in the afternoon; and at the re
gular hour the undeniably excellent
little repast was served.
Neither of the cooks, however, made
his appearance, so the ladies sat down
together to discuss the following menu:
A delicious, clear, clam soup; smelt
done, done to a turn with a sauce tar
tare; chicken "disosse," with a cream
sauce, wi'h very young green peas and
new potatoes; and some delightful lit
tle birds blanketed with thin slices of
pork, accompanied ' by a salid with
mayonnaise dressing (the sauce tartare,
by the way, for the tish, was the same
d re -sing, with capers and cut up cu
cumber pickles). " There is 110 desert,
ma'ani," said the giggling waitress;
"the gentlemen say they are all done
up.

young wives, finding that their hus
bands did not put in an appearance,
descended to tne lower regions in
11 .1
search of them. There they found the
conqaerers each extended on a couple
of kitchen chairs, perfectly limp and
too utterly "played out" even to boast
of their victory. "I never had a back
ache before in my life," groaned on'e,
"and how it does hurt!" "Our tri
umph has cost us dear," whimpered
the other. "I feel like going straijj
to bed." "No, we could not touch

Mr. Editor: This is a rainy

and as I heard some goinl talk on the
T1.. . . C! ..L ! 1 ' I
.-uu-Aic.isuiy, u i oeptemuer isi, 1
iiiougai l wouiu say a lew words.
Suppose our government should loan,
at one per cent., -all the money each
fK.'rson wanted who could give ample
seeurit this loan to be paid in one
year or fifty years, or at the pleasure
of the person borrowing, ami this pa
per money to le a full legal tender for
all debts and taxes or custom dues. Is
it not.proper to loan to each individual
instead of loaning to bankers which is
class legislation, and really in equity
unconstitutional.
To .accommodate the farmer aud
backwoodsman could not three com
missioners at each comity-seat Im; ap
pointed to disc barge the duties as to
he safety of each loan as hone-fly as
banks now do who monopolize the
he loans at from eight to sixteen J -per
ceiit. profit to themselves instead of
ho interests of the people. Should 1
not all the money of our nation be
furnished by the govenmiont alone
and under its control, as wefl as the
lost oifaces aud our postage starapsT
could it not be done as honestly and
md as safely. Would not the farmers
now crushed down with mortgages at
ngh rates of interest all over the
country, shake off their shackles and
tii nil upas men freed from the iwor.-t
form of slavery ?
Would not the interest at one per
cent, fully compensate the government
or each and every expense incurred in
such loans for the welfare of the
whole people instead of loaning out
he money to bankers as a class, for
hem to le-loan to t lie people to their
own private advantage and gain? As
he bankers have thus '.w, as a c!as.
lad all of these advantages, is it no!
ight that each individual be treated
dike in this matter ii) the future. II
he tool of exchange is Mil-ject to a
ligh rate of interest, why should not
each plow of the farmer or the tool of
the mechanic be subject to the same
aw? It you test it by law or nature,
will a gold or paper dollar planted in
my soil reproduce its like by an 111-
It vou test it by the law of
God, is it not condemned? Thou slialt
not give thy money upon usury nor
end thy victuals on mere. .sc.
"Take not usury, nor more than
hoTT gavest." This is Bible language,
i il 11 . wii 1
uid is unmistakable to an 1:1:1 .el, now
about believers ?
INo.v call in reason and see tne re
T 1 1 - 1 .1
sult in figures that cannot lie; One
uindred dollars at six per cent, wiih
interest compounded for fifty ) ears an
nually amounts to $1,8 12; at eight per
cent, to $t,G'J0; and one thousand at lo
per cent, to llT.'J'); but we will take
a smaller sum to show in the simplest
manner possible how unreasonable-aud
unjust is the fearful power of interest.
One dollar at 0 per cent, loaned 100
years with interest added to the princi
b d, at the end of each year amounts
1
to54U; at per cent., at 10

at 21 per cent, to $2.ool,7uS. l0 1, all
from a poor single dollar, and reason
cannot do less than condemn it as un
just and unnatural Are not those
who are most deeply interested 111 ob
taining money at one per cent, (or the
actual cost of loaning it) at lea-t one
hundred to each single person, who
.
would from self interest . oppose it?
After our late war when money was
plentiful and wheat $3 a bushel, it
would take less wheat to pay our na
tional debt than to pay it now with
wheat bringing a market at .00 cents a
bushel. If pork was $10 dollars a
barrel, no one was so poor but what
could eat it three times a day. while
laborers were paid-from $1 to $-1 per
day. To-day one hundred and twenty
thousand men in this countrv would
go hungry if it could be sold at $5 a
barrel.
As this subject of money is an opeji
one for discussion. I shall be glad to
hear from .all that are interested enough
to answer each question in detail.
