Tobacco.
Three things in Nature, good lacks,
Are given to using tobacco—
The tobacco worm gnaws,
And the fetid goat chaw's,
And man stuffs his jaws
With tobacco.
Three uses in Nature, good lacks,
Are commonly made of tobacco—
We protect carpets and rugs,
Kill sheep—ticks and bugs,
And man kills himself
With tobacco.
And now, don’t forget it, good lacks,
Three counsels concerning tobacao—
Never buy the vile weed,
Never sell it for greed,
Never use it, indeed,
This tobacco.

WEST STRATFORD.
ANON.
Deferred-from last week.
Shortly after four o'clock on Friday after-
nooa last, the people ofthis vicinity were
startled by a loud report, similar to the dis-
charge of a cannon. ,In a few moments it
became kuownthat an explosion had occur-
red in the works of the Cartridge Company
in East Bridgeport, and that a number of
lives bad in all probability been lost. Thou-
sands of people at once flocked to the scene
of the disaster, when a terrible scene met
their gaze. The ground was strewn in all
directions with the ruins of what had once
been the building where exploders Were
charged. Search was at once begun for
missing persons, and in a short time three
bodies were found; one on the bank of
Pembroke Lake, about eighty feet distant;
another further toward the Lake, and the
third lay in one corner of the store house
used for boxes and barrels, still further dis-
tant and in another direction, where it had
been blown through the board covering of
the building and was crushed into a shape-
less mass. It was known that there had been
five persons at work in the building a short
time before the explosion occurred. Search
was made for the bodies. of the remaining
two. A portion of one was found at the
foot of a tree near the Lake, and higher on
the tree spots of blood were discovered
showing that a body had been buried through
the air. Some men then began searching the
Lake for the missing remains, and shortly
after five o’clock a body was found which
was identified as that of Michael Dempsey.
Search was kept up for the remains of the
fifth person till darkness came on. A por—
tion of a jaw was~forind,with a chin whisker
on it,and as Wilbur Ficrshinger wasthe only
person at work in the building, who .wore
whiskers, it was identified as belonging to
him, but no. other portions were found which
would furnish any means of identification.
We visited the scene of the accident on Sun-
day last, and while there saw portions of
brains, a piece of a skull, and a knee cap
picked out of the debris, which goes to show
that the body missing must have been blown
to atoms. The names of the killed are as
follows: Capt. Philandcr Clark, aged 50
years: Michael Dempsey, aged 24 years ;
Wilbur Fiershinger, aged 32 years; Joseph
Sullivan, aged 14 years; James Tobin, aged
16 years.
The dancing pavilion in Pembroke Grove
is badly shattered and the ground is strewn
with'fragmcnts of the destroyed building.
The lessee of the Grove, Mr. H. M. Carter,
is night watchman at the Frary Cutlery
shop'in‘East Bridgeport, and was absent at
the time of the explosion. He had not been
away from the grounds during the day time
for thirteen months till Friday last, When he
went to the Norwalk Fair. He called at our
house on Thursday morning last and invited
us to go to the Fair with him, as he was a
stranger in Norwalk. He wanted to see the
bicycle race; we told him that it would be
better to go the next day for that, so he
waited. It is fortunate for him that he did
so, for if he had been in his room he would
have been seriously injured, if not killed.
During his lifetime Mr. Carter has been for—
tunatc in escaping accidents. He came near
being on board the Adelphi when her boiler
exploded, but went on the cars instead. At
another time he was working on a planing
machine, 'when-itwas blown into fragments,
but strange to say escaped uninjured. He
also missedheing in the smoking car of a
train on the Boston and Maine R. R., some
years ago, for the first time in a year, and
that car went' off . the track, and he escaped
by being on a rear car on that morning. We
met him on Sunday morning last, when he
cordially shook-hands with us and said he
owed the preservation of his life to us, be-’
cause he'would have been .in the pavilion
when the explosion took place if we had not
advised him to go to the, Fair on that day.
The horse railroad depot was badly shatter-
ed; there is scarcely a whole pane of glass
left on the castéside of the building, and in
many instances the window sashes as well as
the glaSses are demolished. . The walls were
also badly damaged; inside of the building.
It is a four story building ; . the ground floor
is uscd'as a car house besides containing the
Ofilces,,waiting rooms, doc. . The second and
third stories are divided.:intoiitcnements and
are occupied by the employees. of the com-
pany..- .Mrs. Vanzandt Was: sitting in a chair
in one of the rooms and; was thrown violent-
ly to the floor but was not injured. The
rockers} were torn from the chair and other
articles: were strewn about the room. A
large amount of damage was "done in this
place. There is scarcely a house on Lake or
Meadow streets but that is damaged, some of
them badly. The large windows in Rosa’s
block, on the corner of Lake and Barnum
streets, were shattered .. into. thousands of
fragments. The first floor is used as a gro-
cery store and also contains the post office.
Goods were scattered about the floor in heaps
and a large amount, destroyed. ,. The block
across the streetwas also servedvin thersarne
manner. In Merrill‘s market, lamps were
shaken out of their sockets and thrown across
the room. At the Rogers and Brittin com-
pany’s: works quite a number of glasses were
broken out andra- large portion of the wall
was shaken frOm the ceiling of the oflice.
The tenement house belonging to S. B. Vaile
is badly damaged ;. the windows are torn
out, walls thrown down, etc. The handsome
little house of Milo C. Loomis is badly shat—
tered on the east side. and will need rebuild—
ing. John W. Bradley’s residence is badly
warped, portions of the interior being twisted
out of all shape. The walls of Lewis'new
block are badly damaged and will need re-
plastering. A Mrs. Green, who occupies one
of the tenements in that block, had been
confined to her bed for some time; the con-
cussion lifted her out of bed and threw her
clear-acrossvthe room. One can judge of
the forceof the explosion when the fact is:
taken into consideration that Lewis’ block is
a quarter of a mile distant from the scene of
the disaster; i On Meadow street the damage
to property is also very heavy. In nearly
every case where a door wasfastened, it was
torn open. locks were useless. The new
store erected by William F. Thbmpson,’ on
the corner Of Lakeland' Grant streets, has
not a whole window. left in it. . The accident
has cast a deep gloom over Bridgeport and
vicinity. Nothing like it has occurred in
this section before except the burning of
Sanford's hat factory some eleven years age,
when eleven persons lost their lives. It
was a scene never to be forgotten by those
who witnessed it. Thousands of persons
visited the grounds on Sunday, and some
brutes in human form were inclined to pass

jokes on the matter. The funerals of some
of the victims were held on Sunday last and
the remainder on Monday.
Our democratic friends crowed too soon
over the Maine election. We met one on
Tuesday morning last.» He said to us, “How
do you like the news from Maine ?" W’e met
him on Friday last, and said to him, “How
do you like the news from Maine?” The
answer was, “Well, we didn't care a
about Maine, anyway." Too thin, too thin.
"‘What a fall was there my countrymen.”
Since writing the above we have learned
the following particulars concerning the ex-
plosion. A piece of a window sash weight,
weighing about two and one half pounds,
was found in the yard of Mr. F. A. Rich,
distant about three-fourths of a mile from
the building to which it belonged. Mr.
Doyle, W110 occupies the Alvord Farm on
old Mill Hill,,who was at work with a scythe
in one of his fields at the time the time the
explosion took place, says that one of the
flying shells struck the scythe in his hands.
The field in which he was working is about
one mile from the cartridge works.
Some one is to blame for the accident, but
who, will probably never be known. The
exploders are considered the most dangerous
article manufactured at the works. The ful-
minate used is considered to contain about
fifty times the strength of gunpowder. Mr.
Ingham testified before the jury that they
had as high as about four pounds of the ful—
minatc in the building at the time, but he
hadinstructcd them within a day or two to
keep only one-half that quantity. It was
also the duty of the men to put away the
shells as fast as they were loaded. He pre‘
sumed‘ the men were liable to get a little care-
less in the mixing. He could not tell whether
they had put away a portion of their work
or not. He said there might be at some time
twenty pounds of fulminate in the building
but most of it would be confined in the shells
which would be ready for shipment and
packed in cases. Mr. George Baker, of this
place, who worked on the same job with the
victims of the explosion, was absent in New
York. He says (according to the Standard)
“there is no danger in, working upon this job
if the men obey instructions. If the material
is kept moist it is as harmless as clay; but
these men all worked on piece work, as it is
called, and naturally being anxious to make
all they could, probably allowed the material
to get dry, or their tools to get clogged, and
then came the end. We have heard the re-
mark made in a number of places that such
work ought not to be given out by the piece,
but should be done by the day. Another
thing, if men who had charge of the busi
ness knew their help were disobeying in-
structions by keeping such a quantity of ful-
minute in the building,why was it not imme—
diately stopped. We hear a great deal about
the small quantity of explosive material kept
on the premises. We don't believe it; we
think different; we have good reasons for so
thinking. Hundreds of other people hold
the same views. There is an awful respon—
sibility resting somewhere. W.
Buslness issues of the Canvass.
A writer upon the above topic,the October
number of the Atlantic Monthly calls atten-
tion to the fact which has become observable
to all, that there is a growing unwillingness
on the part of the great majority of the
business community in the North to let the
government pass into the hands of the demo—
crats. While the writer attributes this atti-
tude of the business men in part to the ex-
cellent record of General Garfield on all bus-
iness questions which have come before con-
gress during the past twenty years, contrast—
ing, as it does, very strongly with General
Hancock’s want of any record in these mat-
ters, he correctly judges that the positively
bad record of the democratic party has more
influence in shaping their views than the
known opinions of one candidate and the
lack of known of the other. “The demo-
crats,” says the writer, “are in the attitude
of a banker who went out of business, bank-
rupt, years ago, and applies for a renewal of
public confidence. When inquiry is made
as to what he has been doing in the mean-
while, it is found that he has been engaged
in preparing schemes and tricks for the inju»
ry of his customers, to put in. practice in
case he should again be trusted with the
management of a bank. His vehement de-
claration that he renounces all his swindling
projects, and means to be honest in future, is
hardly a reason why he should be given the
keys of the bank vault.” This comparison
is in no way an unjust one. But even if
there were no reasons to suspect any assaults
upon the debt or currency by the democratic
party if reinstated in power, there is this
fact that excites the serious distrust of all
business men, namely, that no one can pre-
dict what will happen if the democrats suc-
ceed. On the other hand, the policy of the
Republican party, in all matters affecting
business interests, is now fixed by the prac-
tice of three consecutive administrations,and
has been repeatedly approved by the plat—
forms of its national conventions. If the
Republicans are again successful, this policy
will of course be continued. The reduction
of the public debt, principal and interest,
will go on, specie payments and financial
stability will be maintained. and whatever
changes may be made in the tariff, the prin—
ciple_ of protection to our home industries
will not be abandoned.
The writer very properly lays much stress
upon the fact that the attitude of the demo-
cratic party toward the present tariff system
is one of the principle causes—of the reluct-
ance of the business public to trust it With
the administration of the government. He
calls attention to the fact that as the South
furnishes the democratic party with its vi-
tality it is only natural that Southern ideas
The South has
always been hostile to the protective system,
its manufacturing interests being inconsider-
ablc, and the bulk of its agricultural staples
seeking foreign markets. It is,then, through
the influence of its southern leaders as: the-
democratic party has been brought to make
its national platform a square avowai of op-
position to the protective idea. “The logi-
cal conclusion from the tariff plank of the
Cincinnati platform,” says the writer, “is
that the democracy intends so far to reduce
duties as to enable foreigners to fill our mar—
kets” with their goods, and undersell Ameri-
can manufacturers. Such a policy carried
into practice would have the same‘ results as
did the democratic tariff legislation of 1846,
—it would close hundreds of manufacturing
establishments, depopulate many prosperous
towns and villages in the New England and
Middle States, and throw thousands of me—
chanics and operatives out of employment.”
It is because of the danger of such results
as these that-business men allover the North
are asking themselves, “Why take the risk i”
And when they look for compensating bene-
fits that the proposed democratic “change”
would afford, they find not one. The result
is that there is a rapidly crystaliziug business
sentiment in the country in support of the
Republican party which will not only insure
a continuance of Republican administration
in the executive department of the govern-
ment, but will wrest congress even from the
control of the democracy.

Obituary—Dr. John Hill.
The announcement of the death of Dr.
John Hill came with startlingsuddcnness
upOn this community last Saturday. He had
only been ill on Wednesday previous, and it
was hardly known that he was sick. The
disease which caused his death was perito-
nitis. Dr. Hill came to this city from Bing—
namton, N. Y., where he was professionally
engaged in the Iuebriate Asylum.
He had practiced medicine for 13 years
in Willimantic, 6 years in Brooklyn. In the
Binghamton Asylum for a year or two and
for. the past eleven years in this city. At
the time of his death he was fifty nine years
old. His funeral washeld at the Congre-
gational church on Tuesday, and his remains'
taken to Wilton for interment. Our personal" '
acquaintance with the doctor dates almost.
from our residence in this city, and from
that time till when we last saw him Tues:
day last, ,we have always had for him the
greatest respect and a warm friendship. In
his profession he naturally had a taste for
the surgical branch, in which he earned an
enviable reputation and ranked very high.
He hated humbuggery, and nowhere more
than in his own profession, and would not
stoop to any technical deception to acquire a
reputation. He had many warm friends in
this .city. His presence was wellknown
among the men of the place, and he never
shrunk from any responsibility of citizenship,
He was well read on political questions and
familiar with many important events in the
history of the country. We cannot yet
hardly realize that he has departed from
earth forever. Here only a few days ago,

we were not determined to get as far apart

Obituary.
At half past ten o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing, Sept. 19th, the pure young soul of Mrs.
Alexander Raymond winged its glad flight
to God. She was the daughter of Theodore
and Mary Prince and was born at Five Mile
River, October 7, 1850, so that, at the time
of her departure, she was just 29 years, 11
months and 12 days old. She had borne a
long and painful illness of several months
duration without a murmur, without one re-
piniug word, save an occasional expression
of regret at the prospect of having to leave
her children motherless. On the Friday
previous to her death she showed no symp-
toms of approaching danger, but on Satur-
day morning, aftcr awakening from a re-
freshing sleep, she was taken with a sudden
hemorrhage, which at night was succeeded
by another attack, and so weakened her that
groan or sigh, without a struggle or shadow
of fear or regret, she had gone. Dead I Not
the pure and good can never die. She has
just begun to live. Gone in the glorious
zenith of womanhood. Sunk by the way-
side, when just ahead of her, stretched far
away, rose-tinted and beauteous, the Elysian
Fields of life, as seen amid the enticing but
deceitful glamour of youthful imagination.
Gone, but weep not for' her. Her’s is a
joyous lot. Freed from all the cares and
woes, the disappointments, fancies and keen
distresses which everything that’s mortal
must endure. Gone from the world of the
wailing and sad to the realm of the peaceful,
the fearless, the glad. Gone from the land
of the ailing'and dying, to a region of death-
less bloom, where sickness and sorrow, pain
and sighing are known no more forever.
Gone with the scalding tears of a broken-
hearted father and mother on her angel brow
to that abode up yonder, where all “tears
shall be wiped away from their eyes,” by the
gentle hand of Him who wept at the tomb of
his humble friend at Bethany. Bereaved
husband, disconsolatc father and mother,
words of sympathy in such an hour we
know-are mocking. But oh! remember she
lived and died a Christian. God has but
taken her home. View your own agony to-
day and say is earthly life so much to be de-
sired. Your loved, not lost, darling,is a rapt,
radiant angel now,shining in immortal beauty
in that celestial city “whose maker and
builder is God." She has been a tired pil—
grim in a strange laud; she's at home to-
day. , Oh, may some gentle gleams from her
seraph pinions lighten and cheer the now
darkened and now desolate household. And
may all the dear ones she has left behind, so
live} that they may soon be reunited, father,

The following just and indignant condem-
nation of the results of the first trial of these
murderous Gullys, appeared in an editorial
of the New York Sun, Sept., 1879. The in-
terest the Sun now takes in Hancock's elec-
tion will no doubt restrain it from further
suitable comment on thissecond legal out—
rage and so we append its article of last
year:
From the New York Sun, Sept. 14,1879.
A Telling Republlcan Argument.
The acquittal of Gully in Mississippi in the
face of Mrs. Chisolm’s clear and positive
testimony will exert no little influence on the
approaching Presidential election. It is easy
to say that it has no more bearing upon Na-
tional affairs than the undue postponement
of the Rev. Mr. Hayden's trial in Connecti-
out.
But most of the Northern people ..do not
look upon it that way. They regard the
bloody outrages at the South, like that by
which Mr. Chisolm died, as proofs that the
war is not yet entirely fought out—that its
victories are not yet complete; and they are
naturally apprehensive that if the Demo
cratic party, which includes the former Con-
federates, almost to a man, were to get con-
trol of the executive department of the
Government, such outrages would increase in
number, and that Union men in the old slave
states would find life hardly endurable, even
if possible.
We believe the American ‘peoplc,by a larg
majority, are determined, first and foremost,
that the fruits of the war shall be fully pre-
served, and that the Slaveholding spirit shall
never be permitted to rule the Nation again.
They care more for this than they do for the
currency or any other question. Hence
arises the most formidable difficulty in the
election of a. Democratic candidate.
The following is a portion of Mrs. Chis-
olm’s testimony:
“When I got in I found that Johnny was
dead. His clothes were on fire, and 1 wet
my fingers in his blood and put‘out the fire.
Cornelia thought she had put out the fire,but
she did not complete the work. ‘They had.
borne the body behind the cages so as to
prevent him being trampled to pieces. The
crowd cried out, ‘Firc the jail I’ and we
feared we should be burned out. We got
everything in readiness to leave. My daugh-
ter said, as we started down the stairs, that
Johnny died an easy death, and that it was
better to be shot than to be burned to death.
When We got to the foot of the stairs we‘
were stopped by the grating door. Here
Gully had a gun pointed through the grate,
and I thought he was going to shoot me;
but he turned the barrel back and forth to
aim at my husband. I cried out to Mr.
Chisolm, ‘Downl’ My daughter threw her
arms about her father’s neck, and cried out,
‘Have you not had blood enough for one
day? If you want more, take mine, and
spare my precious papa.’ Mr. Gully turned
the gun again, and shot herin the arm,break-
ing her bracelet and driving the crushed
edges into her arm. He stepped back then,
and that let us out of the stairway to the
first floor, and we tried to take refuge behind
some boxes in the rear end of the hall. My
daughter received in all five shots in the calf
of the leg, one in the heel, one in the arm,
and her arm was shattered, for I heard the
rattle of the bones when I tied up her arm
with a handkerchief. Her face was stream—
ing with blood. We paused there, and the
crowd withdrew. She. went to the door and
asked for help, when some one shot her in
the leg. She ran back and told me of it, and
I cautioned her-not to go to the door again.
Some help came in and we carried Mr. Chis»
lm home, I carrying his head, Clay, our son,
his limbs, and the aid his arms. On our way
some men came after us, and Cornelia held
up her bleeding arm and pleaded for help ”
Sneering at the “bloody shirt" will not
counteract the effect of scenes like this,
faithfully described. They rekindle the
spirit which raised and sustained the Union
armies in the war, and politicians who think
this spirit will down at the first bidding do
not understand its power.
State Sovereignty—A question
which must be settled.
“The American mob” is what Colonel
Thomas B.‘ Swan of West Virginia, an old
confederate soldier, calls the followers of
General Hancock. Colonel Swan, in a letter
declining to run for congress says :“—I shall
give to the nominees of the Chicago conven-
tion a cordial support. I recognize in Gen-
eral Hancock a distinguished public servant
of great worth at the head of the American
mob. If the vexed question of national su-
premacy over state sovereignty is not settled
when the states holding these views are
again strong we may look for a return to
arms. No party seeking to impose these upon
the public mind after the judgment of Appo.
mattox is a safe depository of power for the
American people. We must have peace to
have national security. We cannot have
either so long as a large and respectable part
of the people cherish and seek to enforce
these revolutionary views. We must be all
nationality or all state sovereignty as taught
in the resolutions of ’98 and ’99. If the
questions are not settled and the grounds is
still debatable, the results that flow from the
controversy may at any time, and will at
some time, again lead to an appeal to arms,
because there is no other tribunal that can
in our system settle so delicate {a question.”
A Sensible Idea.
A correspondent of the Norwich Bulletin
who believes in having the loose stones re-
moved from the streets, reasons in this way:
“A single loose stone, which might be
thrown out in two seconds, is sometimes
struck by wagon wheels fifty times a day,
or more than 10,000 times a year. Ten
thousand blows of a sledge hammer as hard
on one wagon, would probably demolish it
entirely, and the stone does no less harm
because it divides its blows among a hundred
vehicles. There is, therefore, probably no
investment that would pay a higher rate of
profit than a few dollars worth of work in
clearing public carriage tracks of loose and
fixed stones. If a single stone thumped
against ten thousand times in a year, costs
the community $50 (that is half a cent dam-
age for each time), and could be removed
with half a minute of labor, or one thou-
sandth part of a day, then the $50’would be
saved by the application of two mills in
United States currency, leaving a very hand-
some margin of profit.”

Algeria has a river of ink, formed by the
union of two branches, one coming from a
region 'of ferruginous soil and the other from
a peat swamp. The iron of the one and the
gallic acid of the other unite to form a true
ink.
In taking account of the differences in the
skulls of various nations, attention is at
present directed to the cubic capacity of the
great cavity of the skull, excluding the
cerebellum. By means of this method some
interesting facts have been revealed. On the
west cost of Africa there exist a race with
long, flat heads, whose skulls have the great-
est capacity yet known. Ths .Lsplanders
and Esquimaux have highly developed skuls,
their mean capacity being 1,546 cubic cen-
timeters. The'lowest stage of the English
skull descends to 1,542 cubic centimeters.
The skull of the inhabitants of the Canary
Islands measure 1,498; of the Japanese,
1,486; of the Chinese, 1.424; of the Ital-
ians, 1,4,75; of the ancient Egyptians, 1,-
464; of the Polynesians, 1,454; of the
negroes of different races, 1,377; of the Kaf-
firs. 1,438; of the Hindoos, 1,306; and of the
Andamanris,- a dwarf people, only 1,220
cubic centimeters.
Perhaps the most remarkable operation
hitherto recorded in the history ofsubmarlne
telegraphy is that which has fist attended
the work of the Eastern Telegraph Com—
pany’s steamship Chiltern. In 1870 a cable
was laid from the coast of Portugal, and
recently persevering efforts have been made
to grapple and raise this old cable at a point
where it lay in 2,000 fathoms of water. The
general idea is that a cable. must be rotten
after ;so long an immersion and cannot be
raised, but this cable has been successfully
brought to the surface, and was found to be
as good and as strong as when laid ten years
ago. To grapple a mere thread in 12,000
feet of water is a triumph even in this age.
During a series of photometric observa-
tions, Prof. W. H. Pickering has found that
the total brilliancy of the sun is equal to
about 350,000 full moons. To better illus-
trate this relation, it may be stated that if
the whole visible heavens were turned into
one full moon it would give rather less than
one-fourth of the light of the sun.
“Female. torpedoes" are an‘attraction at
Belgian fairs. In the centre of a booth is a
pit which the spectators encircle, and in this
pit a women, attired as a gymnast, walks
about on a platform. Now and then she
touches a spectator on the,band or check, and
the latter receives a smart electric shock but
the woman feels nothing. , She is evidently
highly. charged with electricity by means of
an induction coil, and the platform on which
she stands is one pole of the coil. The elec-
trified nymph is a great success, and her
stinging caresses elicit roars of laughter from
the visitors. ‘ , .
Bisset, the‘animal trainerof Perth, taught
an orang to wait on the table and perform
other duties. A chimpanzee has been train-
ed to feed and tend a fire ‘, under a baker's
oven. A female chimpanzee in 'the London
Zoological Gardens could look and unlock
a door or drawer, and thread any needle. In
taking her meals she used. knife, fork, spoon
and drinking-cup with as much ease as a
human being. , ‘ . *
In Scotland considerable .interest is taken
in a new method of tanning hides, effected
chrome. The new process is said to be
cheaper and more expeditious than the old
and to produce. leather stronger, more dura—
ble and especiallLlesspenliouatnmisture.
About three hundred.chrome-tanned hides
have lately been exhibitéd inGlangW, some
of them made into belting, harnesses, boots,
etc. ' . ' ,
The human body contains several metals,
and other substances which. perform impor-
tant offices in the world of science. Nitrogen
carbon and hydrogen are its, chief constitu‘
cuts, but it holds besides about two pounds
of phosphorus, upon which the health of the
bones and vigorvof the brain depend; This
phosphorus, if extracted and put to use,
would sufiice for about four thousand pack-
ages of friction matches. The body also
contains a few ounces of sodium, and half an
ounce of potassum, which school-boys know
as a curious metal that burns brilliantly on
the surface of water or when touched; by'an
icicle. In addition to sodium and potassium
there are a few grains of magnesium—
cnough to create a brilliant light‘ visible
twenty miles away. Who knows but some
reckless chemist may undertake to drive a
profitable business by extracting these valu-
able materials from dead bodies!
An experiment made in the port of Kiel,
proves that heavy weights may be readily
lifted from the bottom of the sea by means
of a balloon. The balloon is made of canvas
and metal plates, with an attached cistern
containing carbonic acid gas compressed to
a liquid state. When made fast to_ a sunken
object, the comunication betwcen the cistern
and the balloon is opened; inflation takes
place; the sunken vessel, or whatever else
it may be, is lifted, and can be towed away
at pleasure. In the experiment at Kiel, an
anchor-stone weighing fiftcen tons was thus
lifted from a depth of thirty-two feet. The
lifting power of a balloon ten feet in diame«
ter is said to be more than one hundred
tons.
In many marshy, lfevcr—plagucd districts
of Europe and Africa, the experiment of
planting in large numbers the Eucalyptus, or
fever tree, has been tried for some years,
and a late report shows that the result is the
almost total banishment of fevers from these
regions.

The brave soldier who perished in the
hurricane off the Florida coastghas left a
in arms. Soon after the nomination of Gen.
eral Hancock it was hruited by the Demo-
cratic press that this, that and the other
Union General would give him political
support. Among the names of other bogus
recruits was that of General Torbcrt. One
of the rank andfile in his brigade took the
pains to write him what the Democrats were
saying about him. In reply—and it was one
of the last he wrote before embarking on the
City of Vera Cruz—he expresses the hope
that “no Republican of the old brigade will
desert Garfield, for this fight is about as im—
portant as any we had between 1860 and
1865.” The noble soldier was right. ’

Song Of Faith-
Though the shadows quickly gather
Round about my weary way;
And the 'starless night c'nfolds me,
Still I wait the coniing day:
When the storm cloud, dark and heavy, -
Hides the shining of the sun,
This I know, that greatest darkness
Always comes before the dawn.
Light and shade, together blended,
Make the picture more complete;
Everywhere the tarcs are growing
Close beside the yellow wheat.
All along life’s rugged pathway,
Flower, and fruit and heading grain
Teach us that alike are needed
Both the sunshine and the rain.
Faith would prove a sickly blossom
Nourished only in the light ;
Earth would yield but scanty harvests
Were it not for gloom of night ;—
So, be patient, sister, brother,
Greet the shadows as they fall;
Know ye not that He who loves us,
Hearkens when His children call?
Know ye not our steps are tending
Toward a Land of sweet delight,
Where each hope has its fruition,
‘And where faith is lost in sight?

OUR CANDIDATE.
A Campaign Song.
BY N. \V. GILBERT.
When he was a lad he served a term,
On a big canal with a boatman’s firm—
With a heart so free, and a will so strong,
0n the tow-path drove two mules along,
And he drove those mules so carcfullee}
He's a candidate now for the presidencce.
Cnonns: He drove those mules so carefullee
He’s a candidate now for the pres—
idencee.
As a driver boy he made such a mark,
He came to the deck of the inland barque,
And all of the perils to boat and crew,
He stood at the helm and guided through P
He stood at the helm so manfullee,
He’s a candidate now for the presidencee,
Cnonus : He stood at the helm so manfullee,
He’s a candidate now for the pres -
idencee.
He did so well with the helm and the mules,
They made him a teacher of district schools,
And when from college in a bran new suit,
A Greek professor at the Institute,
Where Greek and Latin he taught so free,
He’s a candidate now for the presidencce.
CHORUS: Where Greek and Latin he taught
so free,
He's a candidate now for the pres-
idencee.
When the war broke out, he,took ahand
’G‘ainst foes all stamped with the traitor’s
bland ;
With shot and shell, and sabre thrust,
Till many a flag trailed in the dust.
He fought the rebels so valiantee,
He’s a candiaate now for the presidencee,
CnonUs : He fought the rebels so valiantlee,
He’s a candidate now for the pres-
idencee,
While~ thus he fought on a distant field,
In sacred cause we would not yield,
There grew it public sentiment,
That he should be to congress sent,
Where still he fought so persistentlee,
He’s a candidate now for the presidencce.
CHORUS: Where still he fought so persistent-
lee.
He’s a candidate now for the pres-
idencee.
0f legislation he acquired such it grip,
His party gave him the leadership,
And though that leadership, I ween,
Was the biggest ship he ever had seen,
He guided that ship so steadilee,
He’s a candidate now for the presidencce.
CHORUS: He guided that ship so steadilee,
He’s a candidate now' for the pres—-
idencee.
As a legislator he stood so well
That to him the grateful duty fell
In the great convention to nominate
An honored son of the Buckeye state—-
The secretaiy of the treasures—-
As a candidate for the presidencce.
CHORUS: The secretary of the treasures,
As a candidate for the presidence a
He did that duty as a faithful friend—
Did all in his power to secure the end ;
As best of the group of foremost men,
He earnestly plead for Sherman then—
For Sherman pleaded so eloquentlce,
He‘s a candidate now for the presidencce.
CHORUS: For Sherman pleaded so eloquent-
lee,
He's a candidate now for the presi-
dencee.
If hc succeeds as a candidate,
And comes to the helm of the ship of State,
By the suffrage of the gallant crew
Who vote with a righteous end in view,
He’ll guide our ship successfullce,
When he’s elected to the presidencce.
CHORUS: He’ll guide our ship successfullee,
When he’s elected the to presi—
dencee.
Now boys, who cherish ambitious schemes,
Though now you may be but drivers of teams,
Look well to the work you may chance to do.
And do with a hand that is kind and true;
Whatever you do, do it faithfullce,
And you may aspire to the presidencce.
Cuoncs : Whatever you do, do it faithfullee.
And you may aspire to the pres—
idencee.

The Democratic Richmond (Va) Whig
reports a recur-t joint discussion at Bucking—
ham court house between Attorney General
Field Speaking for the “Funders” and
Colonel Cameron for the “ Readjusters."
General Field, after condemning what he
called the bloody shirt utterances of General
Garfield, remarked that “ not enough. Yan-
kees had been killed in: the late roar ; he wished
we had killed mice as many.” To the credit
of Colonel Cameron, who saw active service
in the confederate army, it is to be Suld that
he opposed this sentiment. He made a neat
turn on the stay- at—home Field by remarking
that “if all Virginians had acted during the
war as some Virginians did there would not
have been half so many Yankees killed as »
were killed,” and then he explained his
reason for disagreeing with the other speaker
by saying :-“ I recollect, What General Field
seems to forget, that we must have ‘Yankee’
votes to elect General Hancock President.
The solid south has 138 electoral votes; but
that is not enough. 'nléss we get some oo’tos
ram tire Yalul‘ees‘rcho score not killed, Garfield
will succeed."

The simple lesson from the election in
Maine, and it is a sad one, is that the more .
a party steals, and the larger its fraudS,
the more surely will it win the next
time. Hail the fusionirts stolen more last
