To  tbofie  who  think  tliat  the  Americnu  woman 
is  a  frail  heinp;,  all  nerves  and  no  nniscle,  a  visit 
to  the  Exhil)ilion  wouUl  lie  a  revelation.  The 
most  painstaUiug  and  indel'atigablo  visitors  are 
the  laflies.  They  anniliilato  Hi)aei)  without  seem¬ 
ing  effort,  .and  the  notf!-book  is  in  constant  use. 
They  seem  to  apijreoiato  that  liftJ  is  short,  and 
that  another  such  chanco  for  study  Avill  not  occur 
very  soon. 
The  averago  citizen  of  the  ]tc])nhlic  thinks 
differently,  however,  if  a  conversation  I  over¬ 
heard  is  any  criterion.  A  genthnnan  was  oxiios- 
tulating  Avith  the  gaUdeeoper,  trying  to  convince 
the  latter  that  notwithstanding  the  I’xhihitiou 
was  clo.sed  for  the  night,  he  (the  A.  C.)  should 
be  alloweti  to  outer.  The  galeUiiOiier  held  his 
ground  like  a  Spartan,  and  was  as  <leaf  as  Uly.ssos 
to  the  most  seductive  apiieals. 
“  But.  my  friend, "  cried  the  A.  i'.,  ‘‘you  see  I 
have  just  arrived,  and  leave  by  the  8  X.  M.  train 
to-morroAV.  1  only  want  to  run  through  the 
grounds  and  buildings  —  to  get  an  idea  of  the 
thing." 
A  more  trille  of  lmn<lreds  of  acres ! 
The  Exhibition  daily  groAvs  more  attractive, 
ajid  the  various  departments  Avill  soon  he  com¬ 
plete.  lluHsia  is  iniikiiig  rapid  progiaASS  AA-ith  her 
exhibits  in  Machinery  Hall.  'J'his  building  is  be¬ 
coming  very  poimlar  Avith  the  hnlies,  as  some  of 
the  manufacturing  processes  apj>eal  strongly  to 
their  curiosity.  The  French  have  a  Lyons  loom 
(Bonet’s)  in  full  operation,  showing  how  silk  is 
made.  A  comi'ilote  toil(!t  soa))  Avorks  pounds 
away,  tui-ning  out  neat  cakes  of  this  useful  ma¬ 
terial,  Avhich  are  sold  as  fast  as  made  to  eager 
purehasers.  Candy  makers  hero  lay  bare  the  se¬ 
crets  of  their  trade,  and,  if  so  disjrosed,  one  may 
observe  the  various  mutations  to  wliich  the  sugar 
is  subjected  aud  turn  to  ins|5cct  the  Jacquard 
loom  Avith  a,  paper  of  ooufoctiouery  iu  his  iiockot 
still  steamiug  from  the  mold.  England  and 
America  exhibit  this  Avonderful  loom,  Avhich 
Aveaves  the  most  beautiful  and  comijlicated  de¬ 
signs  Avith  as  groat  accura(!y  as  if  it  AVAwe  a  human 
being  instead  of  a  mere  machine.  Further  on, 
J.  &  P.  Coates  have  imported  the  most  striking 
features  of  tht!  machinery  used  in  niiiking  “  best 
six  cord,"  and  after  having  seen  hoAV  Ibe  thread 
is  tortmod  audAA’orried  until,  linaUy,  it  makes  its 
appearance  on  the  neat  sjiools,  and  lh(!ii  ohscu  v- 
ing  the  intricate  motions  of  the  neiHlle  and  i>iii- 
fltiokiiig  machines,  one's  ideas  of  the.se  industries 
is  materially  enlarged,  and  you  feel  a  j'csfioet  for 
“notious”  out  of  all  proportion  to  the  si/.e  of 
the  ai'tiolos. 
A  n0Avs])aper  man  is  compelled  to  admit  that  ho 
is  a  tyro  in  the  art  of  “pulVmg,"  alter  a  glimpse 
at  the  extensive  “  hloAviiig  "  machinery  on  exhi¬ 
bition.  There  is  one  engine  that  manufactures 
hurricanes  at  a  moment’s  notice,  aud  exjtels  a 
column  of  air  so  j)owerfiil  that  it  holds  lii  suspen¬ 
sion  an  u'on  cannon  hall. 
In  lAaiuful  contrast  to  machinery  of  a  jioaceful 
order  is  the  exhibit  of  Herr  Krupp,  the  German 
gun  maker.  The  mousbjr  81-tou  gun  is  uoav  in 
position,  after  having  injured,  tiue  to  its  in- 
stinots,  seven  iaacu.  It  gives  one  an  exalted  o]jin- 
ion  of  oneself  when  ho  gazes  at  the  awful 
iustrumouts  that  are  designed  exolusivoly  to 
facilitate  the  journey  to  another  AA-orld.  Ger¬ 
mans  are  justitied  in  thiuliiug  that  they  have  the 
implemouts  to  improvise  holocausts  on  a  whole¬ 
sale  scale,  but,  on  the  other  hand,  aud  as  an  off¬ 
set  to  this  display,  is  shoAvn  thek  ambulance 
system.  Those  not  eudoAVod  Avitli  strong  nerves 
had  better  pass  this  liorriblo  huiuantarian  scheme 
for  Hcienlilically  patching  up  the  shattered  frames 
of  shot-riddled  lierocs.  The  whole  display  is  the 
Strongest  possible  iirgumeut  iu  favor  of  the  ideas 
of  the  Uuiver&al  Peace  Congress,  aud  the  glory  (!) 
of  war  hides  its  diminished  before  the  contem¬ 
plation  of  its  liiAiTors. 
One  should  vusit  Turkey,  if  for  nothing  else  than 
to  drink  moka  coffee  in  its  highest  perfection. 
The  recent  troubles  in  that  unhappy  laud  have  so 
embai-rassed  the  Commwsiou  that  they  caunut 
unpack  tlie  exhibits  for  the  Main  Building.  How¬ 
ever,  the  gastronomist  Avill  find  iu  the  Turki,sli 
Cafe  ail  Oriental  divau  at  his  servioe,  on  Avliich 
he  can  recliuo.  drink  coffee,  di8CU.-<B  a  small  glass 
of  masUo.  and  revel  in  the  delights  of  unadul¬ 
terated  Turkish  tobacco,  smoked  through  the 
medium  of  a  chibouk,  at  a  very  moderato  oxpeuso. 
The  atloudaiits  are  attired  iu  the  national  cos¬ 
tume,  but  it  is  rather  peculiar  hoAV  quickly  they 
merge  the  idiom  of  Islam  into  capital  French,  if 
they,  for  any  reason,  hoeouio  angorod.  One 
would  think,  peradventure,  they  came  from  the 
bauks  of  the  Seine  uistead  of  the  Bosphorus. 
American  agrlciiltmists  should  take  a  lesson 
from  their  Europium  co-AVorkers  in  tlie  matter  of 
investigating  cattle  diseases.  The  Netherlands 
display  18  colored  easts  of  diseased  cattle,  illus¬ 
trating  the  progress  aud  peouharities  of  the  lliu- 
derpest,  or  cattle  plague.  One  half  hour  devoted 
to  the  careful  iuspection  of  these  casts,  gives  a 
more  comprehensive  idea  of  the  course  aud  pecu¬ 
liarities  of  the  disease  than  could  be  acquired  by 
months  of  study  through  the  medium  of  books. 
Here  can  also  he  seen  models  of  dwellings  for  the 
poor,  which,  among  other  things,  shows  the  inti¬ 
mate  relations  of  the  coaa's  and  hogs  to  the  rest 
of  the  family,  as  they  are  all  domiciled  under  one 
roof. 
The  model  of  the  city  of  Paris  is  rajfldly  going 
to  grass  and  unless  something  is  done  to  stop 
the  groAvth  of  AA  ceds,  those  avIio  roam  over  the 
ground  in  search  of  this  city  atUI  have  to  caU  in 
the  aid  of  a  inoAviug  machine. 
One  would  naturally  look  for  n  good  specimen 
of  mummy  iu  the  Egj'ptian  Department;  hul. 
Peru  displays  an  aHsortmciit  of  this  article,  pre¬ 
served  ill  its  own  juices,  that  Is  caleiilaUAd  to 
satisfy  anyone’s  idea  of  iirilstio  liidoousuosg.  A 
lady  aftji’  vioAving  them  for  a  time,  said,  *‘  What 
arc  those  things  -i.lo  they  eat  them  ?"  The  at¬ 
tendant  liastened  to  assure  her  that  though  avuII 
spiced,  they  Avero  not  good  hi  eat. 
The  flnutli  American  llcpubllos  are  generally 
thought  to  he  A'ciy  hacliAvard  in  the  indnsli  ial 
arts;  hut  when  aa'o  see  the  line  disjihiy  of  home 
made  fabrics  such  as  clothing,  leather,  and  even 
the  extent  of  the  art  of  printing  and  hook  mak¬ 
ing,  one  must  eonl'ess  that  they  are  not  on  sucli 
a  loAV  social  plane  and  tliat  tliek  chief  occupa¬ 
tion  is  not  the  nianufactiire  of  high-iii'cHsiire 
revolutions. 
After  hiiAing  Avorked  hard  at  sight-seeing,  the 
intelligent  American  is  inclined  to  agree  AA'itli 
Hood,  that  he  lias  a  pair  of  immaterial  logs  and 
it  Is  a  groat  relief  to  step  on  the  cai'S  of  the 
nnrrow-giiagerailAvay  to  ho  Avhisked  to  .any  paid 
of  the  grounds  at  a  iiindorate  charge.  This  road 
carries  the  Iriivole.r  to  nearly  all  the  iiupoitant 
hnildings  and  judging  l»y  the  oroAA'ds  it  carries  is 
an  institution  that  |ironiises  to  he  of  groat  V’alue. 
f'CAV  Avho  ride  are  aware  that  the  cars  are 
equipped  Avith  a  novel  invention  in  tlie  slitqie  of 
a  loose  AvVieel  and  paleiil  axle,  Avhich,  it  is 
elaiined,  Avill  revolutionize  nul  road  travel.  The 
merit  of  the  invention  as  regards  the  public  Is 
that  by  Ihe  use  of  tho  Avhecls  the  ear  rolls 
smootlily ;  does  not  jerk  one  out  of  tho  seat 
Avhen  going  around  curves  and  by  no  )K)Hsibility 
can  progress  be  impeded  by  hot  journals,  such  a 
thing  being  out  of  the  qnestioii  when  using  these 
Avhiie.ls.  To  the  stooklioKh'i’,  the  Miltiinore 
patent  wheels  mean  irioreased  dividends,  as  they 
save  oil,  Cotton  Aviistc,  outliist  throe  to  oiio  the 
old  wheels  and  do  not  tear  the  road  to  pieces. 
Being  adapted  to  street  cars  alsn,  we  may  soon 
expect  to  ride  as  gaily  and  ounifortiibly  as  if 
traveling  in  a  rocking  chair. 
Next  Aveek  the  interest  Avill  center  in  the  com¬ 
petition  of  luoAviiig  machines,  which  Avill  be  ro- 
ported  fully  iu  these  coluiuus  by  yom'  sprightly 
corrospondout  “  Shorthoru.”  Youno  Huk.ai,. 
THE  WILLIAMS’  NOISELESS  THRESHER. 
Tun  truth  of  the  saying,  there  is  more  than  one 
Avay  to  do  a  thing,  is  conspicuously  apparent 
Avheu  we  consider  tho  subject  of  threshing  nia- 
chiiies,  or,  for  that  luattor,  the  eutii’e  catalogue 
of  implements  designed  for  agricultural  uses. 
We  have,  from  time  to  time,  selected  samples  of 
threshers  from  among  tho  most  popular,  and  in 
this  issue  we  give  an  illusti’atiou  of  one  of  two 
kinds  made  by  those  entei^irisiiig  gentlemen, 
Messrs.  M.  Williams  &  Co.,  St.  Joliusville,  N.  Y. 
Our  object  in  those  articles  is  to  make  our  sub¬ 
scribers  thoroughly  familial'  Avith  Uie  most  le- 
cont  improveinoiits  and  pi’ogre.ss  iu  an  industry 
that  appeals  directly  to  their  material  interests, 
and  thus  fulfill  acceptably  our  inissiou  as  an  ag¬ 
ricultural  neujspaiier. 
To  dilate  on  tlie  advantages  to  ho  derived  by 
the  use  of  a  thoroughly  elUc.ient  and  practical 
thresher  would  he  to  i^ast  an  imputation  on  the 
good  sense  of  farmers  geuerall}',  thei'cforo,  we 
merely  allude  to  this  point  iu  connection  AA'ith  the 
fact  that  emrent  foreign  events  point  to  an 
Eurojiean  war,  in  which  case,  American  grain 
will  have  an  unusually  good  foreign  market.  The 
farmer,  therefore,  who  utilizes  his  grain  crop 
most  thoronglily  will  reap  the  best  rcAA'nrd.  To 
do  this,  an  economical  thresher  is  the  most  im- 
IKirtant  factor. 
Onr  illustralioi)  represents  W.  A  Co.’s  “Under- 
sliot  Thresher  and  Cleaner  "  of  which  different 
sizes  are  luaile,  ilesigned  for  either  tread,  SAA’cep 
or  steam  power. 
They  call  attention  in  thek  ckcular  to  tlie 
frame  lifting  oonstriiotedjAvith  especial  reference 
to  handling  and  moving  from  place  to  place. 
That  all  crank  motion  in  the  macliine  is  conntcr- 
halanccd,  and  docs  not  in  its  movciiieuL  cIToct 
liio  frame  or  intorfere  Avith  mounting  on  Avheels. 
This  is  accomplished  by  coiistnicthig  the  riddle 
or  shaker  and  tlie  grain  trough  or  hopiier  under¬ 
neath  it  so  as  to  allow  thek  Avorking  independent 
of  each  other,  aud  couiiocLlng  them  to  cranks 
which  ariA  ojiposite  to  each  other  upon  the  saunr 
shaft ;  aud  also  adopting  the  same  principle  ia 
the  construction  of  the  mill  by  dividing  tho  labor 
of  shaking  the  sieves  between  tAVo  opivosiie 
cranks  on  tho  fan  shaft,  attaching  directly  to  the 
sieve,  dispensing  with  much  uselc-ss  Aveigbt,  ad- 
niittiiig  of  a  much  quicker  and  easier  mot, ion  of 
sieves  than  could  otherAviso  ho  attained.  Tho 
sieves  have  a  capacity  fur  cleaning  exceeding 
Hint  Avliicli  the  eyliuJer  has  for  ihresiiiiig,  Avill 
run  Avithoui  clogging  or  Avasting  and  do  not  re- 
(jiiire  cleiiniug  more  Ihmi  once  in  ten  days  Avhon 
in  Constant  use.  The  concave  is  made  iu  sections 
which  are  fitted  to  slide  into  groovisl  hinges, 
and  can  ho  removed  and  hlank  .^nlistituted  at 
pleasure.  Tho  toughe.st  grain  can  bo  threshed 
clean  Avithont  ditliculty.  The  straw  governor 
and  sheet.-irou  curtain  combined  regulate  with 
lirecision  the  discharge  of  l.he  stniAV  and  grain 
from  the  cylinder,  iireventing  eitlnn-  clogging  or 
shooting  and  deliver  the  haine  to  separator  and 
tossing  forks  uniformly  and  in  a  thoroughly 
loosened  condition,  The  governor  issoconstriiet- 
ed  that  there  is  not  the  least  possibility  of  its 
Aviudiug  Avilh  tho  toughest  or  longest  striiAv.  and 
AViirks  AAitli  equal  cei'l,ainity  in  every  land  of 
grain.  The  separator  has  a  ))erforated  and  slot 
bottom,  is  12  feet  long  by  tO  inches  AA’ide.  and 
has  a  quick  motion,  moving  striiAV  over  it  rapid¬ 
ly  and  without  clogging. 
Tavo  sizes,  also, — 30  and  31-inoh  cylinder — of 
the  overshot  thresher  are  made.  In  Hus  machine 
the  fail  shaft  has  two  crank.s  opposite  to  each 
other,  the  one  moving  I  lie  sejiiu'ator  and  tho 
other  the  grain  hopper  and  sieves,  making  acom- 
pleto  conntorhalaneo  of  jiarts,  and  admitting  of 
being  run  on  wheels.  Tho  separator  has  a  per¬ 
forated  bottom,  is  3  feet  Avido  liy  10  feet  long, 
aud  has  live  tossing  forks.  The  sieves  are  large 
and  roomy,  are  easy  to  adjust  or  change,  and,  it 
is  claimoil,  are  capable  of  cloauing  all  the  grain 
the  uylindi'r  will  thresh. 
They  also  manufacture  a  throe-horse  jioAA'er, 
moimted  on  a  ti’uck,  and  tAVO-horse  endless  ehain

WHIPPLE’S  RECTANGULAR  CHURN. 
Whim'le's  Rectangular  Churn  uianufacttired 
by  Cornish  A  Cuu'ns,  Fort  Atldnson,  Wis.,  is  of 
recent  invenlion  and  avcU  adapted  to  farm|dakics. 
It  is  sinqily  a  cubical  box,  and  haugs  suspended  on 
gudgeons  from  the  two  lUiigonal  eoruers  of  the 
eulie.  As  the  box  i.s  revolved  the  cream  con¬ 
stantly  falls  from  corner  to  corner,  thus  giving  a 
more  diversified  agitation  than  when  in  the  box 
churn  as  ordiuarly  arranged.  It  is  more  easily 
operated  than  the  ordinai'y  revolving  box  chum, 
aud  the  butter  forms  iu  coarse  grains,  its  opera¬ 
tions  in  this  respect  being  superior  for  a  first- 
class  product.

ARKANSAS  VALLEY, 
Kinsley,  Kansas,  May,  18T6. 
Ed.  Rural  New-Yorker:  During  the  last 
three  months  I  have  been  examining  the  Arkan¬ 
sas  Valley  from  tlie  Rocky  IMoiintains  to  the  Mis¬ 
sissippi  River,  a  distance  of  more  than  tATO 
thousand  miles,  for  tho  purpose  of  seemang  reli- 
ahlo  infonnutlon  concoming  tho  agricultural  and 
mineral  resourceH,  stock  raising  facilities  and 
other  attractions  or  disadvantages. 
.\t  a  certain  feast  “  the  «governor  called  the 
hridcgrooin,  and  said,  men  generally  set  forth 
the  good  wine  first,  and  lastly  the  poorer  quality  ; 
but  yon  have  kept  the  good  wine  until  uoav."  So 
it  has  been  in  tho  sottleiiieiit  and  development  of 
(inr  country  from  the  bleak,  sterile  Now  England 
coast  and  malarial  swumps  of  the  eastern  sliorei 
of  Virginia,  (Ian  ill  mis  and  Florida,  toward  the 
Itocky  .Moiintiiiiis. 
Tho  active  eiiterpriHing  spkit  of  Ncav  England 
and  tho  Northwest,  secured  a  trans-continental 
railway  from  Boston  to  San  Francisco  in  their 
OAvu  latitude,  not  hecaiise  it  was  the  host  route 
across  the  jilains  ami  mountains,  but  heoaiiso  it 
was  the  shortest  line  between  the  two  cities.  Had 
Boston  and  the  everlasting  Yankees  been  located 
at  Gharlostou  or  Kavannab,  iio  doubt  there  AAoiild 
have  been  a  railway  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  J^a- 
cirto  thirty  years  ago,  through  Arkansas,  Indian 
Territory,  Southern  Kansas,  Southern  Colorado 
and  .Arizona,  following  the  Groat  Arkansas  Val¬ 
ley  from  tho  Mississippi  to  the  mountains  in 
Southern  Colorado,  through  tho  richest,  agricul¬ 
tural,  grazing  and  minernl  country,  in  the  mild- 
e.st,  iiiost  salubrious  and  healthful  climate  on  the 
globe.  But  Boston  was  not  located  at  Charleston 
or  Savannah,  lienee,  the  best  wine  is  lash- tlie 
best  country  on  tho  Continent  is  tho  last  to  be 
fieltled  and  developed ;  and  it  is  somewhat  re- 
maikahlo  that  Boston  railway  companies  are 
doing  this  groat  Avoik,  beginning  at  Chicot  City, 
a  point  on  the  Mississippi  River  below  Napoleon, 
where  tho  Aikansas  enters  the  Jtlississiiipi,  the 
I.ittleRock,  Pine  Bluff  and  New  Oilcans  Railway 
Avill  have  their  road  completed  to  Little  Rock 
within  a  few  weeks,  and  heginniiigiil  Little  Rock, 
tho  Little  Rook  aud  k’nit  Smith  Railway  Com¬ 
pany  will  have  their  road  in  operation  to  Foii 
Smith,  oil  tlie  western  border  of  ^Yi'kaiisas,  by  the 
first  day  of  iie.xt  J  uly. 
'J’lioii  at  Wichita,  two  hundred  and  tAventy 
lyiles  above  Fort  Smith,  tho  Atchison,  Topeka 
and  Santa  Fe  RailAA'ay  strikes  the  Arkansas,  and 
extends  westward  up  tlie  VaUoy  to  Ruehlo,  about 
forty  miles  helOAv  tho  great  Arkansas  Canon, 
tlu'oiigli  Avlueh  tho  river  rushes  dowu  from  the 
niuuntuins, 
Alllbrooof  those  Companies  liave  their  geu- 
eriil  ofiiees  in  Boston.  From  Avhat  has  been  said 
it  Avill  be  observed  tliat  the  .Vrkaiisus  Valley  by 
July  1,  1870,  Avill  liavo  railAvays  exteudmg  its 
Avhoic  length,  except  about  tAvo  hundred  and 
thii'ty  miles  through  tlio  indiau  Territory,  aud 
though  the  ludiaus  luo  vciy  iinieh  opposed  to 
having  a  railway  uji  the  Valley,  botAveeu  Fort 
Smith  and  Wichita,  it  will  doubtless  be  Imilt 
Avilhiii  a  year  or  two,  because  the  products  and 
wants  of  the  country  above  ami  below  render 
the  building  of  this  two  bumlred  and  twenty 
luiles  of  railway  a  necessity.  Tho  State  of  Ai- 
kiiiisas  has  not  loss  than  fiftcon  llioiisand  square 
miles  of  the  best  pine  lands  in  the  United  States, 
and  more  than  twenty-five  thousand  square  miles 
of  excellent  hard  Avoud  forests,  including  fine 
vimetios  of  oak,  Avaliiut,  hickory,  maple,  cypress, 
])oplar,  gum,  etc.,  also  very  extensive  coal  fields 
of  excellent  quality. 
Wliile  the  vast  plains  obnntry  of  Western  Kan¬

is  almost  destitiito  ol  limber,  and  no  coal  has  yet 
been  discovered  iu  tlie  valley  iu  Kansas  Avest  of

twotu  Wichlla  and  Kinsley,  Kansus.  is  the  best
