O
.. our Fallen Heroes.
GEORGE BANOROFT GRIFFIETII’.
The angel of the nation’s peace _
Has wreathed with flourers the battle-drum;
We see thefruiting flelds increase
Where sound of war no more shall come.
The swallow skims the Tennessee,
Soft winds play o'er the Rapidan;
There only echo notes of glee,
Where gleauied a mighty army’s van ? .
Fair Chaitaiiooga’s wooded slope
With summer airs is lightly stirred.
And many a heart is warm with hope
Where once the deep-mouthed gun was heard.
The blue Potomac stainless rolls,
And Mission Ridge is gcmmcd with fern ;
On many a height sleep {gallant :souls,
And still the blooming years return.
Thank God! unseen to outward eye,
But felt in every fi'eeinan’s breast,
From graves where fallen comrades lie
Ascend's at Nature's wise behest,
A prayer to bless the nation’s life,
To freedom’s flower give brighter hue,
And hide the awful stains o.f strife.
0, Boys in blue, we turn to you,
The scarred and mangled who survive;
No more we meet, in grand review,
But all the arts of freedom thrive.
Still glows the jewel in its shrine,
Won where the James now tranquil rolls;
Its wealth for all, the glory thine,
0 memory of heroic souls!

Oysters. .
The raising of native seed oysters by the
cultivators having grounds in Fair Haven
and New Haven waters has lately grown
from small to very large proportions. A great
quantity of seed or plants is still brought
fnom Virginia,but the quantity of native seed
that is exported largely exceeds it. There
will probably be shipped from this locality
this spring to Staten Island, New York and
other distant cultivators not less than 500,- ‘
000 bushels of native seed. Of Virginia
plants there will put down in this vicinity
about 20,000 bushels. They' are ready for
market after having been in native waters a
few months—N. II. Courier .

Masonic hall Hartford, on Tuesday last,a
large numberof members being present.
The annual convention of the order of the

If the Chinamen “must go” from the Pacif-
ic coast of the United States, they will not
have far to travel, for British Columbia wants
them for her railroad. 0n the first two days
of this week fourteen hundred were 'landed
at Victoria, the first installment of an expect-
ed host. As that country is engaged in the
construction of a transcontinental rgilway
through an immense uninhabited region, she
can easily employ theentire Chinese popula-

pic that disturb no one but American sand lot
orators and demagogues.
A Queer Boat.
The little tugboat Charlie, with a boat re-
sembling a large whale boat in tow, arrived
in this port Sunday, on route to New York.
The boat was built by James Beetle to go
to the Cape dc Verde Islands, and was
launched at New Bedford last Friday. She
is to be used as a passenger boat between
the various islands of the group, and is capa-
ble of carrying about a hundred persons:
She is fihy feet long, eight and a half feet
wide, and three feet two inches deep; has a
centreboard, flirt-e masts a bowsprit, and is
also arranged to be propelled by twenty-four
care. She has an oak frame, cypress outer
planking and inside finish of southern pine,
and is entirely copper—fastened and sheathed
with copper. The boat will be talrenzto New
York to be shipped by a vessel to sail early
next Week—New London Telegram.
Speaking of the dangerous illness of Sena-
tor Hill of Georgia, a Washington dispatch
toan exchange‘says: “It has been reported
that he has sent in his resignation to the
governor on account of past illness, and a
fear that if he attempted to resume his duties
in congress the effects might prove fatal.
The persons named to take his place are ex-
Seuator Gordon and ex-Govenor Colquitt.
Toa reporter ex Senator Gordon said : ‘Have
heard the report regarding Senator Hill‘s
resignation. I saw him only a short time
since and urged that he should not resign,
for the reason that we are hopeful he may
recover from his sickness. I don’t want him
to resign, even if he is not likely to recover,
and it Is the wish of Governor Colquitt that
he should not do so. There is no ground
for the statement that the governor has Hill's
resignation in his pocket, or I would have
known it. I am not a candidate at present,
but if friends urge me to go to the senate
again I don’t say what I may do. Politics
in Georgia are very quiet now.’ " ‘
The new oyster dredge steamer built at
Port Jefferson, L. I., for the Townsends of
South Haven and the Hrfyt Brothers of
South Norwalk, came up the river Saturday
afternoon with all colors flying and now lies
moored at Townsend’s wharf. The boat is
named “The Hoyt Brothers Co." and is the
largest one of the dredge steamers, has all
the latest improvements for dredging, prom-
ises to be a fast-goes, is a handsome craft
and attracted much attention Saturday af-
ternoon and yesterday—New Haven Cour-

Patent -Office Receipts.
The receipts of the Patent-Office during
the year 1880 were $749,685.32, and for the
year 1881 3585366589, an increase of $103,-
980.57. For the month of December, 1880,
the receipts were $62,603.12, and for the
same period last year $78,045.75, showing, an
increase of $15,442.63. The receipts of both
years were considerable more than the ex—
penditures of the 1 ofiice. and this favorable
showing will probably give additional energy

The Wily to Save the Country.
Let Northern people go South in the win-
ter, and Southern people come North in the
summer, and let the young of both sections
fall in love with each other, and do a little
marrying, and when Northern and Southern
grandmothers get to traveling back and forth
to visit the babies that will naturally come
upon the scene. that will end all sectional ill
feeling. From personal observation we re-
commend plenty of inter state marriages for

One of the missions with which Mr. West,
the new British minister to this country, is
accredited, unless the gossips are all wrong,
is the selection of an American husband for
the Princess Beatrice, which of course is a
piece of international strategy on the part of
her imperial mamma. .It would be presumpt-
uous perhaps to offer Mr. West any sugges-
tions as to the consummation of this delicate
matter, but if an American alliance with the
royal family, on a neutral diplomatic basis,
is really desired, we should advise him to
address the Hon. David Davis, of Blooming-
ton, IIl.—- Washington Post.

Err-Governor Washburn, of Maine, for
years a republican representative in Congnss,.
and now collector of Portland, being inter-
viewed in Indiana last week, said that he felt
sure a well—guarded, strictly enforced license
law would be better than a prohibitory law
and secure more satisfactory results, even to
the temperance people in Maine. He. also
stated, what. every person of intelligence
knows, that the prohibitory law of Maine is
openly and notoriously violated with a re-

"Tcri days or $10," said the judge, and
the prisoner, is sullen-looking fellow, chose
the bitter alternative, paid the fine and was
discharged. He walked moodily out of the
court room, but, when he reached the door,
turned and showered a wholesale tirade of
profane abuse upon the magistrate. Then
he ran into the corridor, but before he could
reach the street the officer gave chase. He
was soon recaptured and stood again at the
bar. “Ten dollars more," said the court.
The money was paid. “If you had used
more chaste and refined language,” the judge
continued, waving the fellow away, “you
bvould not have been chased and rc-flned."

A Mr. Chapman, of Jersey City, is a man
who does not intend to "get left.” An elec-
tion occurred there this week, and the law
provides for the election of a justice of the
peace, but somehow or other the election
officers and nearly everybody else had forgotp
ten or overlooked it. No nominations for
the office were made, and no tickets provid-
ed. But Mr. Chapman was more thoughtful
or better informed than the rest of his fellow-
citizens. Saying nothing to any body, he
quietly voted for himself, and his election
was unanimous.
The New York Sim, like the democratic
lawyers who have been sent to South Caro-

lina democrats are kicking up no special
devilment, andTurnishing no special scandal
to hamper and to shame their unfortunate
brethren throughout the country? We have
long hoped for it. but we can scarcely expect

“As a class, female printers are diligent and

In these houses there are echen families
that use. intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
There are fourteen men and eleven women
who indulge. Five families have: been so
reduced by its use that they are hardly able
to obtain the necessaries of life. There are
two taverns in the block, find one on eacn
corner, opposite each end of the block.
One man has spent a fair fortune in this
indulgence. It has nearly cost the lives of

A commission has been. appointed in Rus-
sia, and has been recently sitting at St. Pet-
ersburg, under the presidency at Prince
Schtacherhatoff, to consider what measures
should be taken against the spread of drunk-
enness in that country. The ;St James Ga—
zette says that “some idea of the extent of
the evil may be obtained from the fact that
in the year .1880 the receipts from the tax on
spirits amounted to 225,000,000 rubles, or
more than a third of the whole revenue.’
,The drink havoc among the peasants is very
great. A St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette says: “The peasant’s earn-
ings are almost all spent in brandy ; and this
is the chief cause of the famine which per-
iodically devastcd the country." The same
writer adds: “When last;ygar subscriptions
Were collected all over the empire to'pro-
vide for the southeastern provinces, which
were suffering from famine, with seed corn,
it was proved that the inhabitants of those
provinces had in that year paid 7,000,000
rubles in taxes for the brandy they had made
for their own consumption out 'of the corn
which would otherwise have prevented them
from starving." What brandy is doing for
the degradation and ruin of the peasants of
Russia, beer and whiskey are doing to de-
grade and destroy many of their devotees,
especially among the poorer 'classes, in this
country. Of the sixty million dollars reve-
nue which the distillers and brewers boast
that their traffic pays to the government of
this country, a very large man comes from
the scanty purses of working men and women
who continually,day by day, waste their half
dimes and dimes for mugs of beer and glasses
of whiskey.”

she anticipated an equally brilliant future as
alawyer, to wear rufiles in memory of his
grandsire. She said she would not require
him to wear them on the bosom of his shirt,
as that would be very conspicuous, since
ruffles had been so long out of fashion for-
men’s apparel, but she thought that at the
wrists they were becoming to a man’s hands,
so she wished to make some herself and put
them on her son’s shirts. He acceded to her
request, and has worn them always since,
and thus his ruffled shirts became an expo-

of hers for her father.—(Jlu‘cago Inter-Ocean.

A prejudice has existed for some time in
European markets against American meats,
due to a belief that—such supplies are largely
infected with tricbinae. M. Colin recently
assured the Paris Academy of Science that
American salt meat, as now imported into
France, may transmit trichinoais only in very
. rare cases of imperfect salting.
By causing finely divided alkaline earths
to percolate through a gas-flame, Mr. W. L.
Scott has succeeded in gaining a cousiderable
increase of light.
The general belief that the joints of ani‘
malshave always a synovial fluid serving as
alubricant is, according to Dr. Lambert, an
error. The elephant, with his relatively
moderate motions and great weight, has ado
mirable cartilages but abSOIutcly no lubrica-
tion therefor. m '
The ancient inhabitants of India were
remarkably advanéed in the art of iron-
working. The famous iron pillar‘at the
Kiitab, near Delhi, indicates a skill in the
manipulation of a large mass of wrought iron
which could hardly be surpassed by modern
founders. The pillar is 23 feet eight inches
in length, with a circumference of about
fifty feet at the base, tapering to about four
feet just below its capital. Its total weight
is over six tons. It is supposed by Mr. Fer-
guson to date from the year 400 of our era ;
and if so, has stood exposed to wind and
weather for nearly fifteen centuries without
showing signs of rust—an enduring monu-
ment to the skill of the old Indian iron-
workers.
Iii 1852 Dr. Macgillivray mentioned hav.
ing seen skulls of children at Cape York al-
tered into quite conical shape by a constant-
ly applied manual compression of their
mothers; but this was believed to be im-
possible by the celebrated anatomist K. E.
Von Baer, who fancied that there must by
some mistake in the information given by
the Scotch naturalist. In 1880, however,
Dr, Miklucho Maclay had an opportunity of
witnessing this strange operation, at Mabiak
in the islands of Torres Straits, where he
saw it performed daily on many children,
and fully convinced himself that the deferm-
ity seen in the adults is the result of, this
manuel deformation only. The mothers are
accustomed to spend many hours of each
day, during the first weeks of the child’s
life, in pressing the heads of their infants to
give them the conical shape. -At Mabiak the
deformation is designed, but Dr. Maclav
observed on the east side of New Guinea
numerous cases of non-intentional distortion
of the skulls of adult females, arising from
their practice of carrying heavy burdens
suspended by bands jresting across the head
—causing a permanent depression,sf ten quite
marked. Dr. Maclay’s testimony seems to
prove conclusively that the human skull
may be greatly altered in shape by artificial
means.
Experiments upon the action of the elec-
tric light on plants, at the Palace of Industry
Paris, have resulted less favorably than was
expected. The naked rays from the electric
arc were found to be injurious; after passing
through gliiss they ceased to have any hurt-
ful action upon plants-but their efficacy was
not great.. Illumination at nigt is not fatal
to plants, but no proof has been obtained that
it is really beneficial.
Dr. Koch, of Berlin, claims to have dis-
covered the nature of the parasite which
causes consumption. He has'propagated it
artificially, and killed animals with the par-
asites thus produced. The expectorations
from the lungs of consumptive individuals
are found to be Swarming with the highly
infective organisms. By working out the
suggestion offered by Pasteur‘s recent
achievement, ;Dr. Koch hopes to produce
through artificial culture a harmless form of
the parasite which by inoculation may pre-
vent consumption.
It has been obsosved that when liquid
manures are too much diluted trees are in-
jured thereby on account of being compell-
ed, in seeking nourishment, to take up more
water than is needed; but, on the other hand
too strong solutions cause a decay of the
roots.
Messrs. E. and H. Becqueael find that,
contrary to the general belief, a thick cover-
ing of snow does not protect the soil as effec-
tually as does turf from the severest cold and
frost.
The London Lancet says. in commenting
on an article on medicc-physiological fea-
tures of Guiteau’afpersonality; “It is re-
markable for the singular circumstance that
the author, Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton,
seems to claim the fact that the head of the
assassin ‘reveals no specialasymmety’ {as ev-
idence of his sanity, whereas asymmetry is
well known to be one of the commonest
characteristics of heads of the best and most
intellectual type. It would be difficult,
probably, to find a head belonging to any
man of mark or preeminence in science of
literature which was not asymmetric.” To
be asymmetric is simply to lack symmetry.

several irrelevant guesses the old man said,
impressively: “ Bekase de feet worries me,

Why We Have So Few Good
Riders.
It has frequently been the subject of re-
mark as to the cause of the scarcity of gnod
Jockeys. To be sure we have some excellent
riders—Barrett, Evenop. Hughes, Barbee,
Feakes, and probably half a dozen others,but
not more. The secret is explained in the
fact that unless a jockey takes great care of
himself, constant exercises in the saddle
will superinduce Piles of the most aggravat:
ing character, that itch intensely,particular]y
after getting warm in bed, and thus render
him unfit for service on the horse.“ However,
if Swayne’s Ointment Were used, the worst
casedof Itching Piles would be speedily
