Planting Oyster Sod.

- The planting of Virginia oysters is now in
full blast down the harbor. Thefollowing
named vessels have thus far arrived: J. H.

total, 74,500 bushels. .Several of these ves-
sels have sailed to load again. Oystermen es-
timate that 200,000 bushels of plants will be
laid dowu the present season. The planters
have had considerable difliculty in loading
owing to bad weather and other causes.
Formerly there was little trouble in spcuring
cargoes. An oystermen captain said recently
. that he once took on board 1,660 bushels of
plants in a single day.
The three-nested schooner John Brace-
well of Dover, N. H., brought 7,000 bushels
which is a large cargo for these times. Years
ago many of the vessels would load from
9,000 to 10,000 bushels each. When a vessel
arrives with plants she anchors down the
bar r, and a fleet of sharpies transfer the
oysters to the beds on the “beach.” From
eight to fifteen boatsjhover around the vessel
aflording a very interesting spectacle. The
cargo is discharged at, both branches-and the
work is pushed with'gr‘cat vigor. The David
Currie once discharged a cargo of 7,000lbush-
e1sinoneday.' ' .. " :' _

A consumptive who recently died at Nor-
wlch became subject to a strange hallucina-
tions few months ago. While apparently
sane and reasonable concerning all things ex-
cept his own complaint, he came to believe
that a brother who had been long dead had
escaped from the grave and was destroying
his vitals. This freak became so fixed in his
mind, and was ‘occasioning him such sufier-
ing, that it became necessary to dislnter the
remains of his brother to rid him from the
eflects of his wild imaginings. This was
done by a kind and indulgent fdther, to
whom the. registrar :‘lssu'sda permit for dis-
interment. ' ’
A St. Paul (Minn) correspondent of the
New York Tribune graphically describes

predicts for St. Pauland Minneapolis a pop-'

already' occurred, looks for a population
within that time of four million in Minneso-
ta, two million in Dakota, and’as manv mom
on the line of'thc Canada Pacific; Consid-
ering these figures respecting the growth of
.Dakota, how futile is any talk of 'oppbsing
its admission into the Union because of an
insufficient number of inhabitants just now.

‘ History of Concord Division.
The following sketch of the “Rise and
Progress ” of Concord Division, 8. of T., of
this place, one of the oldest temperance ,or-
ganizations in the State, was prepared by a
member of thc‘Dlvision, and read by him at
the recent anniversary celebration:
TofrunW.7P., Currenns AND Mnunnns
for Coronal) Dmsr'os:
Your com‘ 'ittee has assigned to rub the
sion on this its thirty-eighth anniversary.
The early history of this Division is so close-
ly connected with the beginning of the Sons
of Temperflce that a brief account of the
'm igin, design and progress of the Order may
not be uninteresting at this time. We need
not go back to the dark ages to search for
the birthday of the Order of the Sons of
Temperance, but within rthe, recollectionof
some of the members Il‘erclpresentpnr Order
sprang into existence, here on American
soil, and beautifully adapted to American in-
stitutions and habits.
In September, 1842,a notice was addressed
to a number of persons who had distinguish-
ed themselves in the temperance cause, and
29th, 1842, at half-past seven o'clock, is Too-
totaler'szfiall, 71 Division street, N. Y., and
there formed a society called ‘New York
Division No. 1, Sons of Temperance.
They adopted a constitution and took
other preliminary measures to commence
active operations. So well pleased were the
members with the plan proposed that they
nessed, and it was at once hailed as being
admirably adapted to the wants of the tem-
perance community. '
The constitution and principles were ex-
tensively circulated through the country by
means of a paper devoted to temperance,
called the “Organ,” and other divisions were
speedily formed in the neighboring towns
and cities, In couSequence of the spread of
the Order, and as there were not a sufficient
number of brothers legally constituted to
form a Grand Division, and as the power to
taining to that body was called. for, New
York Division No. 1, the original and at the
time the only Division of the Order, appoint‘
ed a dehgation of seven brothers to act as
Grand Division pro tem. Thus constituted
1842, for the purpose of .
only. , I . . a .
0n the 9th of January, 1842, .ufiicient
number of charters had been granted, and
there being a constitutional number of Patri-
arcbs and associates , to form the Grand Di-
,vision propemhe organization existing under
the resolution of New York Division before
referred to was dissolved, and the Grand Di.
vision of the State of New York duly organi-
ized, possessing all the powers of the su-
preme tribunal or the-Order in the United
States untilE such time as the National Divi;
sion should be organized. .
At their regular quarterly meeting held at
Sons of Temperance Hall, Monday evening,
April 10. 1843, an application was presented
from Danbury, Conn.,; for a charter to open
Washington Division, No. 1, of Connecticut,
which was granted, Brother E. L; Snow was
appointed to visit Danbury and if he found
the applicants suitable persons to open the
Division.
At an adjourned meeting held May 8th,
1843, Brother Show reported that he had
opened Washington Division No. 1 of Dan-
bury, Conn.,‘with fifteen members, alsrnthat
u had visited. Boston, where he opened?
Washington Division No. 1,01 Massachusetts,
with sixteen members. _' '
. The Grand Division of the State of New»
York, at aspecial session held at Columbian
Hall, February 26, 1844, received an applica-
tion from inhabitants of Norwalk for a char-
ter for a new Division to be called Concord
Division, No. 2. S. of T., of the State of
Connecticut. These applicants made a par-
ticular request that Brother Snow be sent .to
open their Division. He accordineg was
appointed chairman of a committee with a
view to his going out for that purpose, who
together with Brothers Johnson and Tlmson
were appointed a committee to whom was
referred the application with power to grant
the charter. '
At the same meeting applications were re-
ceived from Brookfield, to be called Franklin
Division No. 3, and also from Bethel, to
be called Bethel, No. 4. Thus began the
Order in our State and New England.
0n the 13th day of May, 1844, the Grand
Division of the State of New York, acting
as fountain head of the Order in the United
States, passed the following resolution:
Resolved, that the Grand Scribe give no-
tice to all the constitutional members of the
Fountain Head to meet on the third Monday
in June next, to organize that body in due
form at'the hall of the Grand Division of
the State of New York, on the 17th day of
June, 1844. .
.At the time appointed the constitutional
representatives assembled and on producing
satisfactory ev’ideuce of their right to seats,
were duly admitted, and the National Divi-
sion of the Sons of Temperance of the Uni-
ted States was duly -organized,and its officers
elected and installed.
A few words with reference to the design
as well as progress of the Order.
* The projectors of the Sons of Temperance
were men actively- engaged, in the great
Washingtonian inform, and they felt the‘n'e-
cessity of a closertuiiion than that organiza-
tion afforded. They wanted a stronger bond
of frieneship‘between men. feeling the re-
quirément of great effort "for those who had
acquired the insatiate thirst for alcoholic
drinks and the more securely to keep them
in the paths of rectitude and honor. They
did not intend. it only to reform the intem-
perate,but they desired the strictly temperate
to unite with them, that they might always,
”remainso, andthat the'order might receive
the benefit of their influence. They also
solicited the co-operation of the moderate or
occasional drinker that he might never be-
come a drunkard. The great object was
then to check the blighting influence of the
use of alcoholic liquids as a beverage, and
to disseminate by every laudable effort the
blessings of total abstinence throughout our
common country. .
It will be seen that our Order has now been
in existence for a little over thirty-nine years.
On Friday evening,'March’ 1, 1844,--tbir'ty.
.eight years ago-before the Grand Division
of Connecticut or the National Division was
formed, Concord Division was instituted,
obtaining her charter from the Grand Divi-
sion of New York, which she still retains—
ueither forfeitednor surrendered. You will
observe that the first meeting was held on
Friday evening, and several attempts have
been made to’ change'vlhe night of meeting
but without success, and so far as can be
learned .the Division has never failed to hold
its regular weekly sessions. '
During these years 1029 persons have be-
come. members, of which 132 were lsdies,not
including visitors. The first lady member
was admitted October 1, 1870. The present
membership of the Division is now 130.
The Division, has had several sWarmings,
two new Div' us having been formed from
her membersh p. She has also contributed
of her membership by card to swell the ranks
of other divisions. ' _
The good that has been done can never be
told. Concord Division has not lived thirty-
eight years and done no good. The temper-
ance agitation and temperance ’work have
accomplished wonders, steadily but surely
undermining the influence of the rum
power. __
This Division has contributed its share in
this work. It has moulded the character and
fixed the principle of temperance in the lives
of hundreds of members who have come
and gone and whose influence will be felt to
the remotest bounds of time and into the
endless future. The power of organization
is a_ victorious power, and may the Great
Patriarch sbove£give to each Division reprq
seated here complete success and direct us

There .was' once a boy who went to Bab.
bath-school regularly, and learned all his
lessons well, so that he had a great many
Bible verses in his mind. He was a temper-
ance boy. This boy was one steamboat
making a journey. One day, as he act alone
on deck, looking down into the water, two
ungodly men agreed' that one should go and
persuade him to drink. So he drew near the
boy, and invited him to go and drink a glass
of liquor with him.
“1 thank you, sir,” said the little fellow,
“but I never drink liquor.”
“Never mind, my lad ; it will not hurt you.
Come and drink with me.” .
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging,
and whosoeve: is deceived thereby is not
wise.” {was the boy’s ready reply.
woulds'no‘t have you drink~ toomuchrj A
‘ little willedo you no harm,'and will make you
feel pleasantly."
“At last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder,” said the boy. “And I feel
much safer, and L certainly think it wiser
not to play with adders." ' '
“My fine little fellow," sasd the crafty
man, “it will give me great pleasure if you
with me." ~' V 1 v
“My Bible says, ‘If sinners entice thee,
consent their not,’ ” was his reply.
That was a stunning blow to the tempter,
and he went back to, his companion. , ’
“How did you succeedr?",said be.
“Oh. the fact is,” replied the man' “that
little Yellow is so- full‘of the Bible, that you
ain’t do anything with him."
So may‘itabe: with all, both young and old.

What is it-tobe a “good fellow? Some-
times death takes from a community a man
who was unsuccessful in business, neglectful
of his family, extravagant in money matters,
fond of drink, unfamiliar with the inside of
churches, and altogether worthless. 'There-
upon his cronies, an. even some of his su-
periors, finding _no other praise to speak of
him, aver that-“at any rate, he was a good
fellow.” This sort of eulogy may easily be
secured by any one who is willing to sit up
late in cluerooms, drink long, laugh loud,
and pay for his friends’ liquor instead of his
family’s necessities. But after-all, “worth
makes the man, and want of it the fellows;"
nor need one be a frequenter of groggeries
in order to leave behind him a reputation for
wit and goodfellowship that do not need
fuddled brains to’ make them seem attractive.

ooxsuurrrou or MALT LIQUOBS.
The increased consumption of malt liquors
in the United States has been over 100 per
cent. in the last ten years. The Retailer the
organ of tho brewers, says: “During 1880
taxes were paid. on 13,374,000 barrels, or
414,000,000 gallons. This is equivalent to
child in the country. Leaving out the fe-
males and the children, this' vast quanity
represented 000 glasses a year for each male-
ove meaty-one years old in the United States.
When we consider the very large number of
adult males who drink no beer at all, and the
other host who partake of it only in the most
moderate manner and at more or less pro-
tracted intervals. it is evident that some other
Americans must drink a great deal. At five
cents a glass, this beer manufacture of 1880
brought $375,000,000. or about $7.50 per
capita for every man, woman and child.
This is a quartenmore than the total expense
of running the United States Government.

The “Guardian Angels."
Mrs. Logan, the wife of Senator Logan,
belongs to the Iathodiat Church,and believes
in total abstinence. “It is reported," says
the Presbyterian, " that a number of ladies
in Washington, some of them prominent in

called Guardian Angels. Its purpose is the
exertion of socialinfluences, for the reform

. . .
Statement of MLWasliington Mon roe oi Catskill,
Greene County, New York.
“For many years I had suffered from a
complaint which the physician called gravel,
I had employed some of the most noted doc-
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,
and for along time my case was regarded as
hopeless. All who know the circumstances
said I must die. Finally, my wife induced
mo to try a bottle of Dr. Kennedy’s ‘Favori,c
Remedy' which she had somewhere heard of
or seen advertised. Without the slightest
faith in it. but solely to gratify her, I bought
a bottle of a druggist iii our village. I used
that and gwo or three bottles more, and-'40
make along story short—I am now as healthy
as man as there is in the country.
Since then I have recommended ‘Favorite
Remedy to others whom I knew to have suf-
fered from Kidney and Liver complaints;
and I assure the public that the ‘Favorite
Remedy’ has done its work with a similar
completeness in every single instance, and I
trust some other sick and discouraged mortal
ma hear of it and try the Favorite Remedy
as did.” 4M

SCIENTIFIC/ lllSCELLlNl.
' An examiner of recruits drafted into the
German army states that, a long series of
careful measurements have established not
only that the height of‘ a man varies very
considerably at different times of the day,
but also that this variation occurs with great
regularity i5 every individual.- The great-
est change in height observed was an inch an
a half.
A consideration of various phenomgna has
led Dr. C. W. Siemens to suggest the hypo-
thesis thatthe sun derives from interplane-
tary space hydrogen,hydro-carbons and oxy-
gen ispace, by which its heat is kept up.
The products of combustion—aqueous vapor
carbonic anhydride and carbonic oxide—are
returned to space, where they gradually
become separated. into the original gases
through the' action (of the solar rays at a
moderate temperature. Thus the heat dif-
fused in space by the sun is not wasted, but
is made to conserve its own energy by pre.
paring fuel for the continued existence of its
fires. '
Dr. Werner Siemens considers the use of
the electric light to be absolusely free from
risk of fire, even in the most inflammable
structure. Contrary to genial belief, the
electric tension required is so low that no
measurable spark can pass between two wires
or to other objects.
A Swiss experimenter is said to have pro-
duced artificial mother-of-pearl which cannot
be distinguished from genuine. -
The microscope has'detected blood corpus-
cles on steel after an exposure of two years
in the woods.
Electricity has been applied to pile-driv-
ing : a water-wheel furnishing the power,
which is transmitted by two dynamo-electric
machines with connecting wires to the pile-
driver at'a considerable distance away.
Dr._Helot, of Bolbac, France, gives a
case of an epidemic of diphtheria in a prev-
iously healthy village near Caux. A tripe-
dealer had thrown quantities of animal rc-
fuse into a pond near his house, and when it
was denounced as a nuisance the mud and
water were applied to the. land as manure.
A similar error was committed a second time
and with the same results.
The compass has been found to be sensitive
to certain atmospheric pertubrations which
do not efiectv the barometer..
A remarkable phenomenon due 'to refrac-
tion has been twice witnessed by Herr
On both oc-
casions, at about three o'clock in the after-
noon, a rose-colored stripe appeared, stretch-
ing across the sky from northwest to east.
From the middle of this rose a vertical col-
umn of a‘ somewhat lighter red color, and
inclining on its western side to a shade of
yellow, the :whole being intenely bright.
, In about ten minutes the colors gradually
faded, leaving behind a blackish-gray streak.
The striking apparotion of this vertical col-
umn recrlled to the observer the descriptions
given in past ages of bloody crosses seen in
the heavens, and regarded as prophetic of
coming wars and pestilenccs.
In a series of lectures in Chinese, the
American mission at Peking is teaching mod-

The gleam of falling water, according to
Mr. J. S. Gardner, attracts certain insects
quite as gpowerful as does artificial light.
In Iceland he has observed moth after moth
to fly deliberately into a waterfall and disap-
pear. He thinks trout prefer broken streams
on account of the abudance of food furnished
by the self-destruction of the insects, and not
-as is usually supposed—because of the
greater aeration of the water.
Prof. Tommasi—Crudeli has lately shown
that malarial infection may be caused by the
keeping of house-plants, .even in districts
. The unwholc-
some influence, however, is not due to the
plants themselves, but to the damp earth sur-
rounding them and the heated and badly ven-
tilated condition of the rooms in which they
are kept.
It has been held by some medical men
that the best treatment of frozen individuals
is the gradual application of heat, while a
few experiments have claimed that the
warming should be rapid. To settle the
matter, Laptschinski has made a series of
very careful experiments upon dogs, with
the following results: Of twenty animals
treatedflby the method of graduallresusictation
in a cold room, fourteen perished ; of twenty
placed at once in a Warmapartment, eight
died; while of twenty immediately put into
a hot bath-all recovered.
Observations upon Russian railways have
resulted in showing, for the period of six
months, that seventy-seven per cent. of the
fractures of ties occurred when the tempera-
ture was below zero. four per cent at zero,
and only nineteen per cent. at higher tem-
perature. '
7 Storing Electricity.
Charles E. Buell, of New Haven, Conn.,
now in‘Bostdn, has received a telegram from
Washington of the granting of patents for
an invention of his which secures the abso-
lute storage of electricity for electric light-
ing purposes. By his contrivance the elec-
trical force becomes as portable as kerosene
oil, and the perils to the life and property
incident to a current produced by a dynamo __
machine are entirely obiviated. To’secure
this electrical force primarily Mr. Buell’s
invention contemplates the utilizing of the
rising and falling of the tides along the sea
coast. the winds in the interior, and themov-
iug of trains and steamboats when it is de-
sired to light them with electrical illumina-
tors.—Hartford Oourant. ‘
Riding on Edison’s Electric Rail-
. way.
Several miles of Mr. Edison’s electric rail-
way at Menlo Park are now completed, and
a few days ago the pupils of Professor A. E.
Sloan’s school, of Bergen Point, N. J., about
thirty in number, were carried over this road
by electricity at the rate of over twenty
miles per hour. At the experiments in Ber-
lin last year, on‘ nine miles of the Siemens
road, the speed attained was only about ten
miles per hour. Mr.Edison's track is like
that of any ordinary railroad, involving
curves, grades (one over thirty feet to the
mile), with the various obstacles of ravines,
streams and rocks. The car resembles our
modern horse-car. The electricity is com-
- municated- from the generators, some three
hundned yards away, by two heavy wires,
one connecting with each_ track. The tracks
are insulated by covering the ends of the
ties with a non-conducting compound. The
wheels take up the electricity from the tracks ,
and communicate with- the dynamo-electric
machine and gearing in the locomotive.
'lhus is given to the train a noiseless, rapid,
pleasant motion, unattended with smoke,
cinderand clatter.
General Grant has absolutely no vanity in
the matter of dress. A strangemvho was wait-
ing with several others to see him in the coni-
dor outside his business office in Wall street,
asked a colored porter how he should recog-
nize the general when he came in. “Jess yo’
watch out fo’ do that gemman dat looks as he
nehber had his clo’s brushed, an’ dat’s him,"
was the reply—Brooklyn Eagle.

“My wife and I am one," explained the
colored gentleman ;_adding with a smile that
was childlike and bland,:“a7id I am do one."
The President a few months ago informed a
well-known congressman that his policy
would be to ignore factional lines in the Ile-
publican party. In other-‘words,he was gorng
to treat the Stalwarts and Anti-Stalwarts as
one. ‘An admirable policy. The only trouble
is that judging from his recent appointments
heregards the Stalwarts as “de one.”-—Tri'.
