Baltimore Sun.
Rev. St. Clair preached Sunday
upon the text "God is not mocked ;
for whatsoever a man sowetb, that
shall he also reap." The sermon was
a very thoughtful one, based upon
scripture doctrines, and the analogies
of nature as well. We give a part of
the closing paragraph: "Brethren,
what shall I say to the Church ? We
are sowing, but to what? Sowing to
the Spirit 'He that soweth to the
Spirit shall, of the Spirit, reap life
everlasting.' The harvest is life eter
nal, but life eternal here does not
mean simply a life that lasts forever
that is the destiny of the soul, all
souls, bad as well as good. It is not
simply the duration but the quality
of the life which constitutes its char
acter of eternal. The reward is not
arbitrary but natural. God's punish
ments and God's rewards are all nat
ural. Distinguish between arbitrary
and natural. Punishment or reward
is given, not because God said so, but
God said so because it was right, nat
ural. The man reaps what he has
sown. The seed sown in the ground
contains iu itself the future harvest.
The harvest is but the development of
the germ of life in the seed. It is a
seed life growing into more life.
'Whatsoever a man sowetb, that shall
he reap.' He that sows much to the
spirit becomes more confirmed to
God than he was before, in heart and
spirit."
COLUMBUS MILLING COMPANY.
A Fine Plant.
Last spring the Columbus Milling
Company was incorporated by J. H.
Hogan, as president, J. E. Wilson and
Chaa. Scbroeder, directors nod G. A.
Schrocder,as secretary and treasurer ;
since that, the other members of tbo
Company have purchased Mr. Wil
son's interest.
The mill has been under construc
tion all summer, and is complete in
every respect. It is located just south
of the main Union Pacific track, and
north of the Foundry on Madison
street, and is now ready for business.
We learn that Gus. Schroeder, well
known to many of our readers as an
energetic business man, is the secre
tary, treasurer and business manager
of the Company. The Company will
do a merchant and exchange business.
Those who bring grists will receive
in exchange, at once, flour, bran, &c,
without waiting. This feature will
be especially agreeable to farmers
from a distance. We give below a
full description of the mill :
The engine is of the Reynolds
Corless pattern, manufactured by E.
P. Allis & Co. of Milwaukee. This is
the latest make of this class of engine,
and contains all the recent .improve
ments. It is universally recognized
as the superior of that made by any
other manufacturer in every essential,
being moro economical of fuel, more
regular in its action, and more sensi
tive to tho load thrown upon it, be
sides being very ornamentally finish
ed. It is fed by a 90 horse power
boiler and will do its work up to that
requirement.
Going into the basement of the mill
we find tho main line shaft, running
through the building lengthwise,
driven direct from the engine a sav
ing of considerable power from
which the rolls on the grinding floor
are driven. Two Morgan scourers
and a Silver Creek separator are
driven from a counter shaft here, alBo
a dust collector which gathers the
flour dust from a plant of spouts and
elevators, a Gardner Feeder for regu
lating the feed of certain grades of
flour is here with connection on floor
above.
All the rolls are on tho grinding
floor. There are fourteen pairs of the
celebrated Gray, noiseless belt rolls.
As no buhrs are here used all the
various reductions of wheat and mid
dlings are made on these machines.
The wheat alone passes between six
pairs of these rails. The first machine
or "Break" barely opens the kernel,
when it is thrown into a "scalper"
which takes off 6uch flour and mid
dlings as may nave been made. The
broken wheat then goes to the second
"break," where it is lightly touched
by the corrugated rolls and again
sent to a second "scalper," middlings
and flour taken off and the broken
kernel again sent to third "break,"
and so on through tho six "breaks,"
when the bran is ready to go to the
Bran Duster, where it ia dressed, all
the flour removed, and the bran sent
to the bran bin. The middlings as
they come from scalpers are separated
from the flour in appropriate ma
chines, and then thrown on a series
of middlings purifiers, which separate
and remove all impurities, when the
cleansed middlings are sent to the
Porcelain Rolls and reduced, from
which product the Patent Flour is
made. Six pairs of smooth chilled
iron rolls receive stock of various de
grees of purity and fineness, from
each of which the product is sent to
its appropriate reel, centrifugal, puri
fier, &c. A complete account of the
various operations of the mill would
be impossible in the space of this arti
cle because of the innumerable divis
ion and sub-division of the stock as it
passes through the different processes
to which it is subjected.
Ascending to the third floor one
finds the reels for bolting the various
grades of flour, three purifiers with
dust collector attached, stock bins for
wheat, flour, bran and shorts, and a
forest of elevators and spouts. On
the fourth floor are tbo fourth puri
fier, three centrifugal reels and two
bran dusters.
The dust catchers heretofore spoken
of are used for gathering the fine
flour dust blown from purifiers, &c,
to be assigned its proper place in the
mill output. They are also a preven
tion of such fearful flour dust explos
ions as destroyed five great flouring
mills at Minneapolis in 1S78, includ
ing tho celebrated Washburn, a mill
then the largest in (he world.
This mill iB one of the most com
plete and perfect in all its appoint
ments in this country, and hag no
equal in the State. It has a capacity
of 150 bbls. in 24 hours, moderately
stated, and will make still more when
called upon. The mill will be in the
hands of Mr. John R. Cookus of Min
neapolis, Minnesota, one of the best
millers in that State. He comes here
from the "Zenith," a 1200 bbl. mill of
that city, and if a wide practical experi
ence of milling undtr all its recent chan
ges and phases is of any account, the
Columbus mill will not want for good
flour.
The elevator is driven by a abaft ex
tending from the mill through the boiler
and engine room and feed mill. It is
provided with a warehouse separator and
a full equipment of elevators for carrying
the grain into the different bins. It also
has a wagon dump into which wagon.
may be emptied without the necessity of
shoveling or unloading sacks. It is of
30,000 bushels capacity.
Connected with the mill and elevator
is a room to be fitted up with the proper
machinery for grinding feed of all kinds,
mention of which will be made when in
readiness for work.
Workmen are busy erecting a neat
brick office in lront ol the mill, at the
side of which the weighing will be done.
Everything is a model of neatness and
strength, and Columbus may well feel
proud of this enterprise a property
worth $40,000.

A Strange Case.
John Dishner is a citizen of this
county, living about eight miles north
east of Columbus. His daughter
Philomeua is a young lady twenty
years of age. About the 18th day of
October she went to sleep and did not
v. aken for nine days. She was then
awake a short time, called for water
with which to wash her face and
hands, and a drink of coffee, and then
immediately fell asleep again and has
remained thus eyer sinco, despite tho
attendance of a physician during four
days, endeavoring by mustard plas
ters, brushes, &c, to bring her back
to consciousness. Her pulse and
breathing are normal, but she is sink
ing in flesh. By Monday (Nov. 16) if
still alive, her second Bleep would be
of three weeks duration. Mr. Dish
ner was in the city Saturday, and
gave us some of the above particulars.
He desired no publication of them,
but the case is such a remarkable one
that we cannot refrain. We have
read of similar cases, but do not now
remember any bo remarkable.

est son Alva came down from Chad

business seems to be lively. The
town has been incorporated and the
new fledged burghers feel big of that
promotion and of their prosperity.
Five places whore spirits are sold on
one side and a strong lodge of good
templars on tho other, keep the
liquor question from stagnation. It
is easy to conjecture which party has
the good wishes of every friend of
law and order, of morality and real
prosperity.
The election of Joliet township
held in Postville school house went
off lively and yet peaceably a good
many voting regardless of political
proclivities for what were in their
opinion the most suitable men. A
rare spectacle was witnessed. The
present incumbent of the highest
township office, who was also the
democratic nominee and the republi
can nominee were each anxious that
the other 6hould be elected ; but the
majority of all sizes, statures, tongues,
factions, opinions, leanings and pro
clivities seemed anxious that certain
difficulties now pending should be
brought to a peaceable settlement
before the present incumbent should
be honorably discharged, hence they
voted for him although not one as I
am generally told had the least ob
jection to the republican nominee.
Yes, Mr. Editor, those difficulties
road questions they are have thrown
portions of our otherwise so res
pectable, peaceable and quiet neigh-
bornood into a fermentation with
some almost to tbo boiling point.
Several law suits have already en
sued, and who knows where and
when peace will be established. If
our dead hero U. S. Grant could
speak frTn the grave your writer
would summon him to call out again,
"Let us have peace." The fact is,
"the most peaceable man cannot have
peace unless bis quarrelsome neigh
bor wiil let him." But law snita are
always low suits and loss suits, and
the first loss is the smallest. Some
old school books represent them in a
coarse picture: Two litigants each
holding a cow one by the bonis, the
other by the tail, while a bad lawyer
sitting on a pile of law books in milk
ing her. But that picture is, in the
opinion of the writer, imperfect, be
cause in a lawsuit generally more
than one lawyer is engaged, hence if
the picture would show another bad
specimen of the honorable legal fra
ternity carrying off the feed of the
cow it would draw nearer to perfec
tion. Again some one has said : Two
litigants are as though they were
each putting his head into a bucket
of water to eeo how long the other
can bold out. Add to it two bad
lawyers holding them fast iu the
water and you have auother perfect
picture. I say bad lawyers, for the
legal profession has a honorable gen
tlemen iu its ranks as any other
One of this class in your city told the
writer once: "Wheu a nun begins a
lawsuit he does not know when and
where it will end." Many a man
might profit a great deat it he w uld
heed such a word. Admitting tl.a:
laweuiU are sotnetirueo unavoidable,
in by far the greatest number e
cases it would he far better to heed
the advice of the good old book:
"Why do ye not rather suffer vour
aelf to be defrauded?" X. Y. Z
