One Gent. DAILY - NCR‘W’ALKe GAZETTE. One Cent. summon"... Absolutely Independent. THURSDAY. APRIL 2, 1891. “Nearer, My God, To Thee.” Judging from the general tone of the newspaper press of the United States the observance of Easter Sunday, 1891, has gone into history as having been more widespread and seemingly heart- - felt, to say the least, than any of its predecessors. From Manitoba the Gulf of Mexi: co and from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific, people of all nationalities and of every shade of religious belief united, as never before, in celebrating the an- niversary of a risen Saviour. While there may be, and is, a wide divergence of opinion respecting the motives un- derlying this popular, and well nigh universal, recognition of Easter, and while not a few have attributed it more to a desire to listen to superior vocal and instrumental music than to any growth of purely religious sentiment, the fact must not be, neither will it be, lost sight of or ignored that a more noteworthy respect was paid the day and the church services than ever be- fore. Belieying that our Creator may be worshiped quite as earnestly through the instrumentality Of music as by the employment of any other human agency the DAILY GAZETTE is disposed to re- joice heartily over the end achieved, rather than to criticism over the means employed, and believes that the Easter of the future ‘ will be far more of a genuine religious festiVal than that of to-day. In connection with the general line 5 of thought running through the fore- going is there not greater hope, also of a breaking down of purely denomina- tional lines than has ever been dream- ed of heretofore. Springfield, Ohio dispatch of the 31st ult. read thus : and Catholic churches in this city united in holding union religiousmeet- ings Sunday in the Opera House. gregation clad in citizens’ habiliments. So, also, did the Protestant preachers. The Protestants took the initiatory in the movement.” Think of it ! The excellent example set by Cardinal Gibbons on a Philadel- phia platform, when he heartily united in prayer and praise with his Protes- tant brethren, has already borne fruit abundantly. Is it too much to hope that in the near future Protestant and Roman Catholic will loyally recognize the fact that both are children of the same parentage, possessing hopes and aspirations respecting the life beyond that are identical in scope and depth? ._, .x.___.‘..., —-—-—»———~ Read the Daily Gazette! Country. newspapers, as everybody knows, are important factors not in the intelligence, but in the business pros- perity and general progress of the re- spective communities where they circu- late. No matter how humble the news- paper of a town or village may be, it is always worth more than its cost to its business community. It constitutes a bond of union and strengthens a com- munity of interest that cannot be effect- cd by the city papers. There are items of personal or local interest transpiring every week that are not of sufficient general interest to occupy the space of journals of more extended circulation and influence, but which, intelligently and impartially reported, add interest to its columns, while as a local adver- tising medium its value cannot be meas- ured by the number of copies issued, the presumption being that it is read by the most _ intelligent and thrifty classes within its bailiwick. It is cer- tainly to the interest of such a commu- nity to patronize their local papers lib- erally and thus movethe publishers to still greater enterprise in catering to the common prosperity. +>—-———————- The Ballot Law. EDITOR GAZETTEZ—I see by the GA- ZETTE that one of the Senators has found out the cause of the deadlock of the legislature. He attributes it to the secret ballot law. Wonderful discov- ery! If he had read the GAZETTE the summer of ’89 he would have found what I stated, what it surely would re- sult in and that I dissected it thorough- ly. I then stated that it was one of the most outrageous enactments that was ever placed on our statute books, and called on Governor Bulkeley if he wanted to immortalizc himself to call an exta session of the legislature and recommend its refusal. But what ef- fect did it have? None at all; because I was onlya private citizen. I never held an office and never should, if it had been tendered to me. All the influ- ence I possess is one vote out of 150,000 but if I had been a politician of any note it would have been spread broad- cast throughout the state. That law must be repealed, and that will be a leading issue, and the old law reinstat- ed, as it was one of the best that could be devised. The Tribune seems to be the leader of the Australian sys- tem of voting. I presume they think . every town in the State is as ’corrupt as the city of New York. . ew Canaan. TBOWBBIDGE.

His lumber wassoon in demand $1850? a thou- sand feet of board measure, or twenty—fold more than he had expected when he com— menced; but not many months elapsed be- fore all the good timber trees near Coloma had been cut down bytheminers, and then the mill had to $01). He tuned his atten- tion to mining, but was not suwesful. When he had money he did not know how to keep it. When he had a good claim he with a snarl. none were intended. He complained of plots against hislife inacommunity where to him. He was irritated bythe superior popu- larity and prosperity of Sutter, by the fact that toSdEerthemaincredit of the gold discovery was given bymny news papers and influential citizens, and that, pension of $250 a month was given to Sut- ter in 1870, while the true discoverer re- ceived nothing. After the publication of Marshall’s biography in 1870, the legisla- ture perceived the injusticeof itsvexclusive favor to Sutter, and in the course of six years it gave-$9,6m as pension to Marshall, but left him to spend the last eight years of his life in poverty and privation. In 1885, at the age of 73, he died while alone in a solitary cabin which he occupied in company with another aged and indigent pioneer miner. He was buried at Coloma, the gold. His, figure, in colossal bronze, stands over his grave—John S. Hittell in Century. ' Dyspepsia and Baldness. Dyspepsia is one of the most common causes of baldnes. Nature is a. great economizer, and when the nutrient ele- ments furnished by the blood cremai- ficient to properly support the whole body, she cuts off the supply to parts the lets: vital, like the hair and nails; that the heart, lungs and other vital organs may be the better nourished. In of severe fevers, this economy isparfiuilarly noticeable. A single hair is a sort of history of the physi: cal condition of an individual during the time it has been growing, it one could read closely enough. Take a hair from the heard or from the head and scrutinize it, and you will see that it shows" some at- tenuated places, indicating that at some period of its growth the blood supply was deficient from overwork, anxiety, orundcr feeding. The hairfalls out when thestrength of its roots is insuficientto sustainits weight any longer, and anew hair will take its place unless the root is diseased. For this reason each person has a certain definite length of hair. When the hair begins to split or fallout, massage to the 'swlp is excellent. Place the tip of the fingers firmly upon the scalp and then vibrate or move the scalp while holding the pressure steadily. This will stimulate the blood vessels underneath and bring about better nourishment of the hair. A brush of un- evenly tufted br'stles is-abo emllent t6 useupon the smlp, not the hair.—Ball’s Journal of Health. ‘ Perpetual Motion So Far a Delusion. Arkwright, the celebrated English in- ventor (in his younger days), and even Sir Isaac Newton, believed perpetual motion might be discovered. All uncalled perpet- ual motion machinesthat have run have been impositions with “clockwork or some other hidden source of propulsion. Men have presumed, by the aid of levers, balls rolling on an inclined plane, the wheel and axle, the ‘ screw. the pump, the syphon, the hydrostatic bel- lows. the hydraulic ram, etc., to have dis- covered perpetual motion. An authority in the study declares: “From'the infant machine projected in the Thirteenth cent- ury to the lat hydraulic, pneumatic, weighted and lever worked pretensions patented as motions, no motion whatever has resulted from the one or the other to the present day. Not a solitary discovery is on record, not one absolutely ingenious scheme projected or one simple self motive model accomplished.”—Chicago Herald. A. Queer Train Signal. In the history of railroads it is to be re- corded that the Revere Beach and Lynn railroad is running a train without a bell cord, and that the means of communica- tion between conductor and engimer is entirely arranged by a code of signals pass- ing over an electric cable. The entire road is equipped with this signal, which works perfectly, and the code of signals which can be transmitted is only limited by the intelligence of the conductor and engineer. —Boston Transcript.
