'l‘hurlow Weed's Death.
LONG AND HONORABLE CAREER OF THE VETER-
AN JOURNALIST AND POLITICIAN.
Mr. Weed was born at Cairo, Green county.
N. Y., November 15, 1797. He learned
printing in the ofiice of Machy Crosswell,.at
Catskill. In the war of 1812 he served on
the northern frontier as a private and as
squattermaster-sergeant. After becoming of
age he established the Agrr'cultm-z’st, at Nor-
wich, Chenango county, N. Y., and during
the next ten years. edited various ournals.
the last being the Antilfifasom'c nquirer,
published in Rochester. During the anti-
M-isonic excitement in New York in 1826—7
be identified himself with the party opposed
to the Masons. and was twice elected. by it to
the Lower House of the State Legislature.
His tact as a party mansger, and his sermon
in 1826 in securing the electionof _De Witt
Clinton as Governor, suggested him as a
competent person to oppose the “Albany
Regency," who had general management of
the Democratic party in New York. At. the
expiration of his second term in the Legisla-
ture, in 1880, he accordingly removed to
Albany, and assumed the editorship of .‘the
Albany Evening Journal. a newspaper estab-
lished in the interest of t antlJackson
party. From 1830 he was a political leader
of the Whig and of the Republican party.
He was prominent in procuring the Presi-
dential nominations of Harrison, Taylor and
Scott, acting in each instance as an indepen-
dent adviser of the respective conventions.
He warmly advocated the election of Fre-
mont in 1856 and of Lincoln in 1860, al-
though his influence hsd in each case been
exerted in favor of the nomination of Wm.
H. Seward. In November, 1861, he-was
sent to England by Mr. Lincoln in seemi-
diplomatic capacity. He returned home in
1862, and shortly afterwards withdrew from
the editorship of the Evening Journal. _In
1865 he became a resident of New York city,
where be edited for a time the Commercial
Advertiser. In 1868 infirm health compelled
him to.withdraw from active editorial labor.
Six or seven years ago Mr. Weed’s eye-
sight began fsiling him, and from that time
he gradually grew blind. His physicis’n
explained recently that the old gentleman s
blindness was caused by the regular course
of cataract. His unmarried daughter Har-
riet, who has given her entire life thus far to
her father's service, was his constant com-
psnion, and the almost helpless old gentle-
man trusted her and leaned upon her implic-
itly. It was she who read the papers to him,
and she to whom‘he dictated whatever he
desired to have written. . .
Mr. Weed was taken seriously ill two
years ago this present Fall, and many of his
friends gave up all hopes of his recovery.
His illness was exactly similar In origin and
character to the one which has just proved
fatal. He was prostratedby a cold, lost his
appetite and became physically languid and
weak. His extraordinary mind. however,
retained its vigor, and he seemed to take an
enthusiastic interest in the Garfield-Hancock
campaign. When the great mass meeting in
the Academy of Music in New York, which
0 ned the Presidential campaign, was held,
r. Weed, summoned all of his strength and
attended it. The excitement seemed to help
him, for he. gained strength very rapidly
thereafter, and two weeks after the mass
meeting he was able to walk out of doors.
Since then, until his last illness, he was quite
feeble, but his love of excitement and of
meeting people induced him to go out on
various occasions. One of the last social
entertainments that he attended was the re-
union given by the veterans of the war of
1812. Mr. Weed upon that occasion took
pride in showing a faded commission, duly
attested, whichbore testimony to his appomt-
ment October ii, 1814, as quartermaster-
sergeant of the Fortieth Regiment New York
State Militia. .
Mr. Weed was a Presbyterian, and he had
a pew in the First Presbyterian Church, of
which the Rev. Dr. Paxton is pastor. He
frequently, however, went to hear the Rev.
Dr. John Hall preach. and at 911 times mani-
fested an enthusiastic interest in Moody and
Ssnkey’s services.
In the death of Thurlow Weed and of
John D. Defrees (who so recently preceded
his life-long friend and cosdjutor,) two of
the most remarkable personsges connected
with our American politics for the past two
generations, have passed away.
Thus-low Weed’s Span of Life.
Thurlow Weed's life almost spans the his-
tory of this country under its present consti-
tution. He was born before Washington
died and when Webster, Clay and Calhoun
were making their reputations, he had edited
several country newspapers and fought in
the battles of his country. He was older
than Seward, or Lincoln, or Greeley and
when Clay, Webster and Calhoun were dead
he had not entered upon the most important
' part of his career. He was shve when Na-
leon’s star appeared in the darkness of the
I‘ll-such Revolution and was already a young
man when the battle of Waterloo was fought.
He lived and worked with three generations
of public men. Most of the men who are
now beginning to attract attention might have
been 'hlS, grandsons. Benjamin Franklin
died seven years before Mr. Weed was born.
'The liver of these two journalists take the
world'biick into the re' n of Louis XiV..and
the birth of rederick the Great.
Another such would very nearly reach the
time of Shakespeare—New York Tribune.
About Advertising. .
Half the business men visited by news-
paper agents snd asked for advertisements
consider the newspaper men as a kind of
infliction of Providence, which, like the
itch, must take a certain course before being
cured. We wish to convince all such errone-
ous thinkers that they are wrong. The
newspapers, instead of being a sort of visita-
tion from the lower world, is a public neces-
sity, and for the public‘good They, instead
of dead-beating their way in the wOrld, live
from money hardearned, and for which they
frequently pay, in one way or another, two
hundred cents for a dollar. Business men
have made fortunes, have risen from poverty
to opulence, simply from the benefits of the
newspapers across their way. The money
the newspapers make is handled by the men
who patronize with their business advertise-
ments. We have frequently bad men tell us F
" We never advertise. It's too much like
throwing away money." .Onpbserving their
businsu, we invariably see their molasses
barrel leaking. their dry goods covered with
dust, their sugar filled with flies, their scales
rusty, their hands dirty. their finger nails
unclean, their pants patched, their customers
few. and their success a failure. They bobble
along in the world slowly, and are not the
men » who rise from poverty and obscurity to
riches and eminence. Shbw usnman who
advertises extensively and we will show you
a man who has the qualities essential to busi-'
ncse success. The advertisements placed in
papers are like the klndheartedness of youth,
bearing fruit at first and reaching into the
years when age comes on space. Then never
tell us advertising does not pay. Drones and
ignoramuses only advocate such views.
The men who understand the science of
advertising are not so many as might be
supposed. They used to have an auctioneer
and real estate man in London who was
famous for his advertisements. - They were
as varied and pleasant reading matter as any
one could wish. His descriptions of the
property put into his hands for sale were
charming in the extreme. One never read
the particulars about one of his cottages that
he was not seized with an intense desire to
become its owner at once. Drawbacks were
not ignored, but were deftly inserted; and in
a way to make the property still more desir-
able. “ To be frank with my- friendly
patrons," he once'wrote, " I must say, how-
ever, that there is one objection to the villa
which I now offer for their inspection. A
lady of most estimable character, but who is
troubled With a nervousness. objected to the
place as -a residence on account of the litter
of roseJeaves and the noise of the nightingale.
To many this would be nothing in its dis.
paragemcnt, but I feel bound to state every
possible disadvantage." There is as much in
the style of an advertisement as there is in
that of an essay. There are some that nobody
will read, and there are some that nobody
will pass. Try it in the GAZETTE, the paper
that reaches the largest number of readers in
this vicinity.

two hundred and twenty-five teachers are

An Enormous Sun Spot.
Mr. Brashear, writing the The Pittsburg
Chronicle on Thursday last, thus describes
the great spot which has lately made its
appearance on the sun: I had noticed, he
says, the spot coming on to the sun’s edge
on Monday. and concluded .thst it would
attain enormous proportions. In the tele-
scope it was an object of singular beauty.
Yesterday morning I examined it closely.
and I think in all my life I never saw so
many besutiful;featbery bridges and arms
stretching out from the penumbral borders
of the spot across and into the great dark
nuclei. Every one of them was more or less
curved the same way, showing clearly the
direction of the cyclone storm. The pc.
numbra was very much broked up, and the
many. beautiful forms taken-by its extended
arms and bridges make up one of the most
interesting sun spots on record Its size is
simply enormous. I projected the sun‘s
image so as to give a disc 55 millimetres
diameter. The spot then measured four
millimetres. This would give it nearly one-
sixteenth of the sun's diameter, which we
will call 880,000 miles.“ Then one-sixteenth
of this would give 55,000 ’ miles as the diam-
eter of the spot. As“ was an irregular.
square, we could safely say 2,000,000 square
miles. There are a number of smaller spots
on the sun, but none so interesting as this
one." _

The Doomed Comet;
Under this title Mr. J. A. West'wood
Oliver has published in London a little
pamphlet on the great comet of 1882 which
is still visible in the southeast in the early
morning hours. Mr. Oliver discusses the
nature of comets in general, and speculates
on the “approaching celestial catastrophe"
when the doomed comet shall be absorbed
into the sun. His conclusion are, however,
not very alarming. He believes that the
absorption will he followed by nothing more
than abnormal magnetic disturbances, dis-
plays of the aurora, or possibily by nothings
at all. But he thinks that the British Isles
and Western Europe will be affected in “ a
way such as to induce warmer and drier
weather, or in other words good seasons”
while opposite conditions will prevail (with
important local variations, however) in East-
ern Europe, India, Australia, and North
America.

Railroad into the Adirondacks.
Taov, Nov. 22.——Twc wealthy New Eng-
land lumbermen propose spending $400,000
in building a railway into the Adirondack
wilderness. The people of Malone have
ing that Malone be made 'the terminus of the
new road. The projectors of the road have
bought sixty square miles of the finest land,
which they will clear of timber when the
road is completed thus deducting enlarge sec-
tion of the central forests of the Adirondacks.

Your Ballot-Box or your Life.
In Grimes county, on Saturday night, the
11th instant,‘four masked men want to the
residence of R. M. West, near Courtney, and
called him out his house, seized him and
with drawn pistols demanded the ballot-box
of the Courtney precinct. Mr. West was the
presiding officer of the election of the pre-
cinct and had the ballot-box and tally-sheet.
He remonstrated with the parties, but they
threatened to kill him un ess he delivered

The Columbia Steamboat Co.
“The well-known excursion and passen-
ger steamboats Grand Republic, Columbia,
Americus and Adelphi, and the propellers
'City of Norwalk and B. F. Brady are no lon-
ger under the control of the Columbia Steam
Navigation Complimy. They were recently
turned over to essrs. John Hoffmire and
John. English who built them and accepted
bonds in payment for their work. Mr. R.
Cornell White, President of the company,
said that the eteamboats‘ were all the vessels
the company owned and that the transfer of
them was the outcome of a Wall street trans-
action. Mr. White said there was no failure
whatever on the part of the company, as the
bonds which were issued in 1878 have six-
teen years yet to rum—New York World.

The mails between Denver, Col., and
Eastern cities have been systematically
robbed. .
Joseph A. Mullery, a boy of nine cars,
died in New York of lockjaw follow ng a
wound by a toy pistol.
The fleet of oystcrmen which came from
Virginia last week have discharged their
cargoes and have sailed to load again.
The Rev. R. H. Woodrufif pleaded guilty
in Baltimore to opening and secreting letters,
and in default 0 the payment of a fine of
$250 was commi ed to jail.
Michael Reese was arrested yesterday in
Denver, 001., charged with a brutal assault
upon Amelia Harris, of Morrissnia, N. Y.,
from the effect of which she died.
Frank E. Woodrufi has been elected pro-
fessor of New Testament at Audover Theo-
logical Seminary and Rev. Dr. Fairbsirn
Hyde lecturer on foreign missions.
The farmers of the Qulnebaug Valley have
shipped from Norwich to a large New York
packing house, eighty car loads, or an aggre-
gate of 22,120 bushels of the russet, Baldwin
and gillyflower varieties of apples.
Chesapeake Bay is now in its glory, for
the ducking season has arrived and the voice
of the turtle—the diamond-backed terrapin'
—is heard in the land. There are said to be
300 professional gunners ies'iding at Havre-
de-Grace who can make a comfortable liv~
ing by shooting red-head and canvas-backed
ducks. .
The sewerage of San Francisco is a trouble-
some problem. The lack of rain in several
months of the year adds to the seriousness of
the question. It ll now proposed to use
wind-mills and pump sea walcr to the top of
some of the hills in the vicinity, and thus a
fine force for flushing the sewers would be
available. The most constant winds prevail
during the dry season.
A little girl of Glendale, Mu, has received
I. pass good for life on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. Seeing two trains approaching
each other on a curve, she stopped one by
frantically waving her apron, thus averting
a disaster. She couldn’t have got much more,
comments the Boston Post, if she had been a
member of the legislature.
The suit of the firemen Charles Riel against
Mr. Simon B. Paige, of Oshkosh, Wis., to-
recover $5,000, alleged to have been ofiered
by the latter for the rescue of his wife, dead
or alive, from a burning hotel nearly two
years ago, is still before the courts of Wis.
cousin, its latest phase being the remanding
of the case b the supreme court for a new
trial. Mr. sige denies that he made any
:fiigr of a reward whatever for saving his

The opponents of liquor selling in Mas-
sachusetts are banding together to opposethe
movement of the dealers through their so-
called “Personal Liberty Leagues” An or-
ganization has been formed called the “Mas-
sachusetts No License Union," the special
object of which is to secure a vote of no li-
cense in the cities of the state which hold
their elections in December.“ The contest
in many places promises to be a, hot one, and
the result will be awaited with interest.
Another group of spots which gave evi-
dence of great disturbance has appeared upon

ment is continued we may experience another
magnetic storm like that of last week. The

It is roughened with flam-
ing eruptions and pitted with enormous cav-
erns around whose jagged edges the fiery
outbursts exhibit redoubled fury. At no
previous period of sun-spot maximum have
the indications of the sun’s influence upon

numerous and striking as at present and
never before have so many observers united
in studying solar phenomena.
The New York Sun, usually well informed,
reports as a matter of some surprise that
brook trout have been found in salt water at
the mouth of Hackensack River. It. attrib-
down of reservoirs by which the fish have
been swept into unaccustomed waters. The
fact is, however, that brook trout take par-
fectly naturally to salt water. Some of the
largest and finest trout ever shown in New
York have been Long Island trout, the best
of which run up from the ocean. Even here
in Connecticut those streams which empty
into Long Island Sound furnish the largest
trout that are caught in the State. ‘
The Government method in vogue for
cleaning the brass parts of ordinance, &c., is
claimed to be the most effective known.
mixture of one part common nitric acid and
one-half part sulphuric acid is made “in a
stone jar, a pail of fresh water and a box of
sawdust being also provided ready at hand.
The articles to be cleaned are dipped in the
acid, then removed into the water, after
which they are rubbed with the sawdust.
This operation immediately changes them to
a brilliant color. If the brass is greasy. it is
first dipped in a strong solution of potash and
soda in warm water, this application tending
to cut the grease so that the acid has power
to set. This method has the advan e of a
greater deem of permanency than ors.

“ How would you like to live in s commu-
nity where nobody drank any intoxicating
sober ?" _
" I would be delighted with such a cone-
munity," said the Probibitionist.
“ And how would you like to live where
every one was industrious—where they rose
early and went to their work and retired in
season -where everybody was at home in the
evening, and where no one used profane lan-
guage ?"
“ ‘Ob, that would be bcrfectly splendid,
said the Prohibidonist.’ '
“ ‘And,’ continued the questioner, ‘ how
would you like to live in a community where
everybody attended divine service every Sab-
bath ?" -
_ “ ‘Why,’ said the Prohibitionist. ‘such a
community would make almost a heaven;
but there is no' such community.’
" 0 yes i" said the anti-Prohibitionist, ‘ I
know several such communities.’
“ ‘Where can I find one ?" said the tem-
perance gentleman. ' 7

A motherly old woman, considerably
troubled with the asthma, and also lame,
called at the Twentieth street station the
other afternoon to state her case. She made
the Sergeant place his hand on a copy of
Brown’s grammar, which * happened to be
there, and swear that he would not tell any-
body, and then she begun:
“ I have a daughter.”
(0 Yea."
“ And my daughter has a bean."
“ Perfectly nature ."
“ They are engaged, and the wedding day
has been set three times, but be fiunks out
of it every time. The first time he claimed
that his father was dead; the second time he
was sfrsid he hsdsmall-pox, and the third
time, which was yesterday, he said it would
bring bad luck to marry when a comet was
visible. Now, then, I don’t likcthis fooling
srbund. When me and the old man were
around.
“ Well."
“ Well, I want to bring this young man to
time. He’s either got to come up to the rack
or jump the fence."
“ Yes, he must." -
" I wanted to ask you how far I could go.
Suppose, after he arrives tomorrow evening
I walk into the room with a. pistol in one
hand, and a minister of the gospel in the
other? Wouldn't that precipitate s ell-I
max t"
“I think so."
“ If he really loves Susie I think he would
stand up and be married. If he is only fool-
ng around he'd jump through the window,
“ Looks that way to me.”
“ Well, I'll try it. Ishsn’t indulge in no
threats, you know. I’ll hold the pistol
carelessly in my left hand. and ,hsng th the
minister carelessly with the other, and I'll
simply remark that there's either going to
be a marriage or a skip. I think that
William will marry. l'ts [my opinion that
he is waiting fora little coercion, and I'm
pretty goodion the coerce when I get;stsrted."
" Well, don’t break the law."
“Oh, no, not If he skips I shan't do any
shooting. I’ll let the dog give him a run
across the commons and send the minister,
home. Ivshall boss cool ss-:ice, and it will
be all over in five minutes.” _ .
Yesterdry William and Susie were taking
their bridal tour on the elegant new Michigan
avenue two-horse street cars. The young
man had been coerced—Mus Press.

Some benighted man must have written
this : Just now the Parisian dressmakers are
beginning to display their winter novelties;
You ask what are the latest fashions. There
are no latest fashions, and there is just the
charm of it. Every woman may dress to her.

The wooin of Mollie Spurgeon by Albert
Eggleston at srsaw, Miss, made favorable
progress until the girl learned that her lever
was a forger and then she dismissed him.
But he had no intention of giving her up.
Finding her alone- in the house, he placed] ,
cocked revolver at her hesd,"an_d under :a
threat of instsnt‘desth,‘ made her go to a
boat in which he started with her down the
Mississippi. He said that he meant to keep
her a prisoner on the loneliest island he
could find until she consented to marry him.
But her friends went in pursuit so promptly
that she was soon rescued.

. Mr. George 11. Davis, a Fruit basis: at 29':
Westminster Street. bears his grateful testimony
tothe unequalled excellence of ihc production
of one of our most skillful Providence Pharma-
cists. Mr. Davis says, "Last spring 1 was very
. greatly troubled with severe infismmstion of the
kidneys, and it became so bad that at times I
printed blood, and my snfi’erings were intense.
.My condition was so painnt that for a while I
was scarcely able to attend to business, and the
covers psins would come so suddenly and se-
; vcre that I would be obliged to leave a customer
;wbom I might happen to be waiting upon. Dur-
.ing a part or the time I was unable to walk, and ‘
.sesrcely knew what to do or which way to look
, for relief. At this time a friend recommended
gtcok right hold of my disease and cured me very
speedily, and I have experienced no trouble since.
“Furthermore, Hunt’sikemedy has strengthened
fine verymnch, and since I began to use it I have
been able to attend to business. and am all right
:now. I heartily recommend it to all. What it

Hon. Joshua Tuthiil, of East Saginaw. Mlch.,
says: “Count me among the enthusiastic friends
of'finnt’s Itcmcdy. It has provon in my case all
you claim for it. Having sufi'ered for about
twenty years With severe disease of the kidneys
(which our physicians pronounced Bright’s dis-
ease,’ I made ajourney East to consult the em-

whose fame in this specialty I had heard much.
Dr. Haven examined inc carefully and simply

possess the property-when chewed or
crushed—of stopping hemorrhages. To the
native Mexicans this plant was known by
a name which' may be rendered as “Fowl-
wo ." The discoverer carried a specimen
to Versailles and planted it in 1876, and it
has since flourished, flowered and fruited
without apparent 'change in its peculiar
qualities, The action of this plant is said to
exceed that of all styptics known. and this
valuable property is likely to give it a wider
extension, especially as it seems to be so
readily acclimated in foreign lands. Its
botanical name is Tradescantz'a erecta (J seq).
Speaking of “waste," a favorite theme,
Dr. Siemens lately said that he had been
experimenting at his farm at Tunbridge
Wells with the object of utilizing to the
fullest possible extent the heat applied to a
steam engine. His engine drives a dynamo-
electric machine, which not only lights his
greenhouses at night, but also furnishes ar-
tificisl sun—enabling him to rapidly grow
fruit in the depth of winter. Nor isthis all,
for the escaping steam from the engine is
made to heat the greenhouses and other
places in winter, so that he expends but little
more fuel since he started the electric light
and dynamo machine than he did before in
heating those houses.
Since 1843 an average of 575 earthquakes
a year has been known to occur. Mallet has
collected the records of 6,830 earthquakes
which took place over a period of 3,456
years previous to 1850; but 3,240 of these
occurred during the last fifty years. It
seems, therefore, that our earth is almost
constaptly shaking at some point, and no
part of the world is entirely free from trem-
ors of some degree. Prof. Milne has recently
urged that the study of earthquakes should
receive more attention in countries little
subject to their visitations. Such countries
may at long intervals be shaken by earth—
quakes of a severe character, and it is sug-
, gested that even the stable ground of Eng-
land may not be secure against disturbance
by convulsions as calamitous as that which
suddenly swept away 60,000 of the inhabi-
tants of Lisbon in 1755.
Water issuing from hydraulic pipes exerts
an astonishing erosive power. Icons by-
draulic mine a pebble- loaded stream working
eight months in a year has in four years out
a channel in solid slate rock three feet
wide and fifty feet deep—according to Pack-
ard.
battery has been produced by Mons. .erd,
of La Rochelle, which he regards as a solu-
tion of the difficulties experiencedingetting
an efficient electric current from heat. The
battery consists essentially of slabs of
prepared carbon containing nitrate of pot-
ash. When these are burned a continuous
current is generated until they are consum- '
ed. A slab six inches long, two inches wide
and an inch thick lasts an hour and shall
or two hours, and will ring an ordinary
electric bell; and three or four slabs connec-
ted to increase tension will decompose
water. ~
Archaeologists know that ropes date from
every remote period. and had reached a
state of considerable perfection at the dawn
of the historical era. The first ropes Were
probably made from the fibres of the inner
bark of trees, from grasses, or from the
hides of animals. Among the relics of the
ancient Egyptians have been found sculp-
tures showing the process of ropemsnufac.
ture practiced more than 4,000 years ago,
while the oldest records of um people rep:
resent well made ropes capable of sustaining
enormous burdens. It appears that flax and
fibres of the date tree; were employed .for
those ropes. '
HerrS.Wo endeavors to account for
sun-spots by a theory. He thinks they
may} represent areas on the sun .thst are
vastly hot'er than the bright surface sur-
rounding, instead of being cooler as astron-
omers generally believe. They are regions
so extremely hot, he supposes, that the heat
radiations have reached the intensity of ultra
[red,] rays; these being invisible the spots
consequently appear dark.
According to Prof. Loomis, about one-
fifth of the entire land surface of the globe
has an annual rainfall of less than ten in-
ches, and a still larger part has a rainfall so
small as to make it vslueless for purposes of
agriculture except in the limited districts
where irrigation is practicable. In North
America an almost rainless region is found
in Southern California and Arizona. and in
- a large district about Slave Lake the yearly
precipitation of water is only about ten
inches.
Mr. F. C. Whitehonse contends that the
caverns of the island of Staffs, including
the famous Fingal’s Cave, are artificial. and
created by the hand of man at some early
period- He bases his theory on the Gothic
shape of the roofs, the sheltered location of
the caves. the lack of evidence of erosion of
the rocks by water. and the insufficient me-
chanical_power of the sea-waves-st that is.
land to excavate such caves. -
Mr. Grant Allen has drawn this imaginary
picture of man u evolutionists suppose him
to;have in miocene times; “A tall and
hairy creature, more =or :lesslerect,'but with
a slouching gait, black-facedzand whiskered
' with protrudingijsws, and large, pointed
canine teeth—those:of each jaw fitted into
an interspaee in the opposite row. These
teeth, as Mr. Darwin suggests, were used in
the combats of the males. _ His forehead was
in doubt low and retreating. with bony hos.
ses underlying the shaggy eyebrows, which
gave him a fierce expression something like
that of the gorilla.” But already, in all like-
lihood. he had learned to walk habitually
erect, and had begun to develops human
pelvis,” well as to carry his head more
straight.”
