Chicago, Sept. 20. The committee hav

tition begging mercy for the condemned
Anarchists nave concluded that the mud
form of praver, originally adopted, will
not meet the voices of those who have ad
vanced ideas on the subject, and consider
the convicted seven not ns criminals but
as martyrs. To obtain the signatures of
such-the following has been adopted aud
will be circulated, in addition to the first
petition :
To His Excellency BichanlJ, Oglesby, Gov
ernor of Illinois:
The undersigned, having watched with
great interest the progress of events in
connection with and since the trial in
Chicago of the so-called Anarchists, Au
gust Spies, Michael Schwab, Oscar Ncebe,
Albeit R. Parsons, Samuel Fielden, Adolph
Fisher, Louis Lingg and Geo. Engel, aud
believing the sentence against them, was
and is unwarranted bv the evidence, ex
treme iu its severity, and induced by a
view of the law never hitherto sanctioned
by any well-considered precedent, and that
the accused were not shown to have been,
guilty of throwing or causing to be thrown
the bomb at the Hayniarket meetiug; and
being advised, in effeet,-by the stntemeut
of the prosecution in the said cause that
these men were selected and proceeded
against simply because of their position as
lenders in the , gent-rut labor agitation,
which seems to us as unwarranted as it is
although an exceptionally quick workman
has been known to put 800 bundles to
gether. Over one of tho machines hangs
this legend:

And wnnt our bv

The wood in the bundles sold in the
grocery stores, containing pieces nine
inches in length, is cut with a buzz raw
and fed into a machine which carries the
sawed pieces under a knife like the letter

teen minutes as a darky could chop in a
day.
From May till October very little busi
ness is done at the factory. The sale of
oak wood has fallen off greatly during the
past few years. Cut oak wood is worth
$14.50 a cord. Pine brings the same price.
There are about 12S cubic feet of wood in

Augusta, Me., Sept. 16. A celestial

XJJOWKOTHUfGISM ASD PROTECTION.
from Vancebofo, the termiuatin of
tho
the
Courier Journal.
It seems we are to have another out
break of knowiiothiugism, following, the
saint hues as formerly. It is, said there is
no rehirious persecution desisned, nor
was there formerly: but alf such move
incuts degenerate as they, proceed, until
there is a revolt iu the public inmu( and
tiie agitation and the agitators are sutnma-
r. v suppressed. -
"What is knownothingism T It is the per
fect flower of protection. The knowuoth-
inirs would make our whole system ot leg
i'lation accord with the avowed purposes
f protection. -
The tariff, we arc told, is imposed in or
der to protect American labor against the
competition of pauper foreign labor. . As
a mutter of fact, the tariff, even as it exists
to-rlav, does nothing of the kind.
Laoor is on the free list. A manufac
turer cannot import his machinery without
paying a tax of 50 per cent.; his imported
t'uei is taxed; his raw materials are taxed;
but lit hor comes in free of all duty. Half
a million immigrants all. laborers, except
the very youngest children, and they are
r..-adv for work in a few -years half a mil
lion immigrants flood the labor market ev
ery year, aud make successful strikes al
mot impossible. . . '
Here is the wrong and injustice of the
tariff; here is an object lesson showing it
to be a system of fraud and false pretense.
Kvervthiog a 1 borer needs, every house
hold utensil, every article of wearing ap-
naiel. evcrv tool he uses is higher because
of the tariff, but "competioii in the only
article h hs to sell is absolutely unre
stricted. I nstead of being protected frgainst
the pauper labor of Europe, the laborer in
America rinds that the tariff itself, by hold -
my out fjiUfi nrnmises. actually WOIKS as
an incentive to immigration.
It is a consciousness of the real situation
which misguided men hope to remedy that
leads to the organization of a new know
nothing party. The evils ot which they
;ompliiiu are real, they are palfble: year
by year they are working to bring about
aii equalization ofwagfci between England
ui'l America.
1'ut the remedy proposed is a part of the
same vicious system. It is an attempt to
cure the bitcwith the hair of the dog. One
-vil never cured another." Protection does
not help the laboring men; it hhrtsend
hinders them ; this remedy is "more pro
tection." Tiiey see the miping and manu-

Conductor Robert Elms, who was at

event one of unusual interest. The

August Spies came here from Germany

beiter Zeitung ami used it as a vehicle for
his anarchistic views. His brother, Wil
liam, having been killed by a policeman
for resisting arrest, he vowed venceance
and- bgan toeach his disciples how to
manufacture 'dynamite. He is gentleman
ly in appearance, thirty-three years of
age, of an exceedingly nervous tempera
ment and grows faint at the sight of blood.
Michael :chwab is bv trade a book bind
er, and was for some time associate editor
of the Arbeiter Zeitung. He is a follower
of Most and joined Spies in 1S33.,, 'He is
of a ft-vocious appearance and is not clean
ly in his habit. He has often said that he
would like to be hanged for his devotion
to anarelry. lie knows how to handle a

Old Bud Jackson, one of the terrors of
Montana, lost his fourth wife, and came
over into Dakota for a fifth victim. He
met and married the widow Baggs, a frail,
gentle-looking little woman, who had just
been left a widow for the third time and
seemed crushed to earth by her losses.
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson wended their way

Tho Capricious Candle.
Put a lighted candle behind a bottle,
pickle jar, stove pipe or, any other object
havinir a polished surface; then station
yourself about twelve inches from the ob
iect. so that it hides the flame of the can
dle from you, and blow with yoar breath.
The candle will be very easily extinguished
in consequence of the currents of air that
yon have created around the oiject meet
ing near the flame. With a board or i
sheet of cardboard of the width of the bot
tie. extinction would be impossible.
This experiment has a counterpart that
has been communicated to use by Mr.
Harmand. of Paris. Take two bottles, in-
tp:id of one. and place them alongside o
tnh other, so as to leave a space of half
an inch between them. Place the candle
opposite this space, and, preserving the
am distance as before letween you
mouth and the candle, blow strongly
against the flame. Not only will the lat
ter not be extinguished, but it will incline
slightly toward voir as if through the ef
fect of suction, llus phenomenon, wnicu
is analagous to the preceding, is due to
the fact that as a portion of the air can
not pass between the bottles, it ttows
around their exterior and returns to the
operator. ' . ' -

asked T 'Well, you ace, it was about like
this, replied mv friend; and he gave me
the following account of his western ex
perience: 'In June last I had twenty
four hundred ewes, with their lambs. I
looked after them carefully every day to
keep off the coyotes, and built up a good
corral for them at night, down in the edge
of the timbor. One afternoon about the
20th of tho month I was sitting on pome
rocks watching them. Sheep, when they
are feeding, as you know, generally keep
together, and I should think that at this
time, mine were, most of them, on a spot
of not much more than an acre of ground.
The tky was clear, though just a trifle hazy,
but by and by I noticed a bit of a cloud In

ing down from it toward the ground. The
view to northward from where I sat was a
god one, and I could see the cloud com

stroke of the structure I could seo a brown
cloud of dust, grass, brush and timber rise
in the air and go whirling np into the sky.
It nas a tornado and no mistake. There

It is not generally known that the Fan
Bellows is an invention of a Cbataruite.
Yet such is tho case. We have had the
pleasure of examining Letters Patent
granted by our Government to Jesse Dix
on of Chatham county, in 1827.' It is done
in parchment in excellent style and signed
by John Quincy Adam. Prest.. II. Clay,
Secretary of State.and William Wirt, attor
ney General. This U a genuine docu
ment. These signatures were done by these
men themselves, and not simply a facsi
smilo ol their antographs. The great seal
of the nation is attached. It grants exclu
sive rijihts and privileges to the inventor
for the period of fourteen years.
Jesse Dixon - lived on Cane Creek and
was of 'that sane estimable family of that
name that lives in the same section. Hav
ing conceived the plan of improvement in
the bellows he proceoded to make a. moflcl
of his.invention. But how was he to util
ize it without a patent ? To secure th'u it
wa,s necessary that he should take his mod
el to the National Capitol. At that time
there was not a locomotive engine in
America, and Mr. Dixon was under the ne
cessity of rinding some other means of
transportation than by steam. Hirigsred
up a one horse' wagon, put bis machine
upon it and thus carried it to Washington
Citv. Hon. John Long was then our
member of Congress. Through his friend
ly interest the invention was brought to
the notice of the government. It was seen
at once that it was an invention of great
merit and a patent was at once granted.
It is not claimed that Mr. Dixon invent-
ed the Wllows. The nse of this machine
oos back to time immemorable. Jeremi
ah speaks of tho bellows and the blowtnen.
Ezckiel tells ns of gathering "silver and
brass aud tin and iron and lead, into the
midst of the furnace, to blow tho fire opon
it. to melt it." Homer describes the fur
nace in which the iron shield of Achilles
was forged as btinir blown upon by twenty
nairs of bellows. His was the moral and
