By scattered rocks and turbid waters shifting, By furrowed glade and dell,

To feverish men thy calm, sweet face uplifting, Thou slayest them to tell

The delicate thought, that cannot lind expres­sion,

For ruder speech too fair,That, like thy petals, trembles in possession

And scatters on the air.

The miner pauses in his rugged labor,Ami leaning on his spade,

Laughingly calls upon his comrade neighbor To see thy eharms displayed;

But in his eyes a mist unwonted rises,And for a moment clear.

Some sweet home-face his foolish thought sur­prises,

And passes in a tear,—

S om e bo y ish v is ion of his eastern village,Of uneventful toil,

Where golden harvest followed quiet tillage Above a peaceful soil;

One moment only, for the pick, uplifting, Through root and fibre cleaves,

Andon the uiudy current slowly drifting Are swept thy bruised leaves.

Aud yet, O poet, in thy homely fashion,Thy work thou dost fulfill.

For on the turbid current of bis passion Thy face is shining still.

This done she sat down to think. The wretch, meanwhile, cursing and swearing, had gone into her father's chamber; she could hear him ransacking and dashing about the desk, the drawers, the very trunks that were piled in one corner containing tilings that had belonged to her dead mother. She reflected, her father coming back presently would enter the house quite uuprepaied for an assailant, and that the first act of the robber would be to knock him dowu. Then she wondered where Jane was. She bad left Jane in tiie little (lining parlor, going to take her own tea and then to wash up the things. All was silence below. Perhaps Jane was lying stunned in the kitchen—perhaps she had fled to raise the alarm. They had no neighbor within a quarter of a mile from the house, and it would take a little time for help to come. She opened her window to listen. No sound of foot­steps or voices, or sound even of distant wheels. Nothing but the rampaging of thisawful wretch,up stairs, occasionally flying at her door with blows and im­precations.

nerve was gone at the sight of him. The door of her room shook and the miscreant cried aloud the vilest threats, if he had missed the chance of escap­ing,(for the firemen had broke in be- low,)he wanted them to find him in her company, not knowing of the entrance of the foreman and his friends by the ladder.

Signing to her to keep back, they in an instant moved the furniture, undid the bolt, aud the man fell headlong in­to the room, just as the other men were mountain the stairs. Overpowered by numbers, he was quickly bound hand and foot and taken below. The little lobby table was occupied by the bun­dles he had made ready to carry otf, and his pockets were found tilled with articles stolen from the parlors. At this juncture Mr. Stanhope drove up in a hack which he had been half way to Bostou to procure, and it was im­mediately made available to carry the burgular otf to jail with as many of liis captors as could find room in it or on it.

Mr. Stanhope was perfectly frantic on reaching bis quiet bouse, to find it in tho possession o f tiie lire brigade. He bud beard the tire alarm, without tiie least apprehension for his own be­longings. ‘Hester, Hester,’ be cried in an agony of terror, whilst the firemen were too busy with their capture to have any answer to give biin. Indeed, those below bad not seen any woman.

He was called up stairs by a friendly voice, and found Hester explaining and excusing herself to Hie two or three, who, divested of their helmets, she could recognise as acquaintances. They were, in reply, reassuring her she had done good service to tiie community in tiie seeming of so desperate a scoun­drel. As soon as she saw her father

to throw herself in his arms. As he embaraced her she shrieked.

‘Uh, my darling child, what has hap­pened to you? Are you hurt?’

It was a cry of terrible pain, but she said faintly, ‘Oh, it is nothing—only my hand.’

And the foreman, taking otf the sing- J ed cloak, revealed a hand and wrist, burnt and swollen, and blistered. The sudden rubbing against the rough over­coat her lather wore, bail rubbed the skin oil', and the poor arm looked very, very sore.

The fire brigade, now drawing off, were hastily told to send the doctor ; and in searching for liniments and soft rags, and lime water and sweet oil, and molasses, aud all or any of the rerae-

wish her to fold < he doll’s clothes and lay them in the drawer when her play is over; I am sure t l is room will look very nice when 1 return.’

If this kindly training is begun early, do you not know how proud and happy these miniature men aud women will feel when this work is entrusted to their care—a token el mother's confidence in their ability? Of course, it may be necessary to be a little short sighted. when you return, and pass over for the time some few items that will bear im­provement; but let these wait. Appear pleased—be pleased— with their efforts. Give as milch sweet praise as is judi­cious to gladden their little hearts. I t will be time enough when the next trial is made, to say, ‘I think I would fold this little dress so ;’o r ,‘Put thoSe books here.’ Gentle hints, interspersed with all possible approval, willlixtlie lesson, so that yon can soon feel safe to put the play-room almost wholly in the care of quite young children, except tiie sweep­ing, or work beyond their strength. But their lesson, as we said before, must begin early, else the child will learn to prefer being waited upon to doing tiie work itself.

As your child can bear it, add, year by year, to the trust and responsibility. Accept the labor us a love-offering, to save your time and strength, and it will not be long before willing hands aud happy hearts will really lighten your labors, and save you many weary steps, while a t t:ie same time they are learning a lesson that will do them good through life. Vary the teaching by sending the child, by-and-by, out to do a little shop­ping—some small tiling, but such as will call for the exercise of taste aud a little judgm ent; nothing of much im­portance, so that, should there chance to be a slight mistake, no great harm will follow; yet so much that the child,

must ha,ve an experience of her own. When young, we seldon are ready to profit by the experiences of the old, or think them of much more importance than ‘old wives’ fables,’ but when, after many mistakes, we arrive at middle age, we are able to estimate their value.— Christian Union.

H oy.In January fast, says the Leavenworth

Commercial, John Wilson, a lad about sixteen years of age, left his home on Muscatine Bottom, in company with his father and two neighbors, for tho purpose of hunting buffalo on the upper Arkansas. Hie weather was all that could bo wished game was found in abuiidauee, and the hunters secured as much as their teams were able to haul back so long a distance and on tho morning of the 10th prepara­tions were made for a return home.

Not so, however, with young Wilson, who hafl become enchanted with the wild scenes and wilder sports. To him it was a new life, of which he had often read, but had now become a living actor in its fascinations. To the left of the river, and beyond the skirt of timber in which the hunters were encamped, stretched the un­broken plain, on which, within range of vision, quietly grazed a small herd of buffalo, and here and there scattered groups of antelope. At this sight our young hunter became excited, and ‘‘only one more shot” before departing was in sisted on. Shouldering his gun hastily, lie started out, and was soon Io3t to view as lie picked his way quietly along the river bank aud timber.

Nothing further was thought of the young man’s whim by the father and his companions, who were cooking rations for the return trip, and peacefully smok- !ag their pipes.

Young Wilson found the distance to the arne much further than he anticipated,

but on getting within long range shot his presence was discovered, and a general scamper was the result. Nothing daunt­

How to have Good F ish.— We all know how much superior is a fish pre­pared lor tho pan as soon as it is eaught, compared to one that has been allowed to die. Few, however, are aware of the cause of the difference.

The reason is this: The fish transfer­red to tho pan from the water is killed belore it is cooked, while the one that dies is diseased, and its body is not in a proper condition to eat when brought to market. The difference between them is exactly that between an animal killed by the butcher and one that dies of fever, lor the supply of oxygen that the fish re­ceives when taken out ol its native ele­ment is so great as to induce fever, of which he perishes.

The superiority of the fish of Holland is remarked by all who eat them—and the reason is that as soon as they are caught the Dutch fishermen stick an awl into their heads, and they are not brought to market with flabby-fevered flesh, as in England and iu this country.

Not only is the flavor of the flesh thus killed far superior to those that die of fe­ver, bat the effect upon the human sys

The Newburyport Herald says that ‘no one business in Massachusetts begins to compare in volume and extent to the shoe and leather. Last year it covered a value of two hundred million dollars.— Lynn alone made and sold 11,251,GOO packs of shoes, which was a million and a halt more pairs than in 1869. We are sometimes told that the profits are small. This may he; but we notice that the man­ufacturers everywhere give evidence of thrilt, and not a few of them of wealth. Let one start and ride through the towns of this vicinity and this will be demon­strated. Go through Georgetown, Grove­land, West Newbury, Bradford and Hav­erhill, and inquire the names of the oc­cupants of the finest houses to he seen, and the great majority of them will be found to be shoo manufacturers. Lynn, which was a poor town when Newbury­port was among tho first in the common­wealth, now leads the towns of Essex county, and its list of incomes surpasses that of any other town.

It was a single house, with but two parlors and a kitch­en on the ground floor, with correspond­ing bed-rooms over, whose windows in the gables of the sleep old roof, might be seen from many points glistening in the morning or setting sun.

Mr. Sianliope was a clerk in a bank­ing bouse, lie was a widower, with one pretty daughter Hester by name, living a quiet reiired life. He was able to afford to keep a sei vant to save bis dauglilerfroin the harder offices of house­keeping, and in fact to give her a sense of companionship m her lonely life, lor he was often absent f r o n an early hour in the morning nil late at night. One winter evening, Peter Stanhope came down to tea at seven o’clock, with a smiling lace. He brought an invitation for Hester to witness some private llireatieals at. tiie house ol' Mr. Smylhe, one of the •linn’ by which lie was em­ployed. i t was for that very evening. Mr. Smylhe had apologized for tiie shortness of the invitation, and explain­ed that the perfoi malice was tiie sudden whim of some visitors of bis daughters, who iiad taken part in a similar enter­tainment at their own house, aud it was not until they were satisfied that they were likely to accomplish any represen­tation worthy of spectators, that the Miss Smythes ventured to invite any friends to see it. They liked U esur Stanhope, and knowing how seldom amusements came in her way, they had very vividly impressed upon their father the imperative necessity of not forget­ting to deliver the note of invitation. I t was a very friendly note, assuring Hester no fresh toilettes were expected, just to come in her ‘house dress,’ aud not to be later than eight o’clock. So tho father and daughter hurried over their simple meal, and while Mr. Stan­hope went to hire or borrow a carriage to take them to Mr. Smylhe’s distant residence, Hester hastened joyfully to her room to make such change in her attire as her slender wardrobe permitted. She bad been thus pleasantly occupied for about twenty minutes, bad put on a •neatly fitting plain brown silk, with a clean collar, and was studying the effect of this or that colored ribbon, to make a pretty finish at her throat, when she heard a step on the stairs unmistakably a man’s step, aud hastily opened her door, exclaiming,—'W hat, papa,—back already ?’ when she saw it was a strange man approaching. If she felt frightened she did not show it. ‘is i t the carriage?' she said, not knowing why she said it, or what to say.

•Yes Miss,’ said the man, ‘Your father has sent me for your purse to pay the driver.’

Then Hester knew the man was a house breaker, because he bad ouly guessed at her meaning. He eyed her all over, she standing firmly holding the doorhandle. I f she had on any articles of jewelry, it is probable the man would have seized bold of her, but Uustei possessed neither lings nor bracelets, and her hrooell lay on her bureau.

Then closing Hie window, she rashly look up the first of the papers, lighted it and held it close to the window panes, till Hie flames neared her hand. Then she dropped it in Hie basin, and lighted another. T iie hot. blaze flared up, aud over the window frame, almost scorching her for Hie moment of its life, ami even by her agitated reatliiiig drawn in angiy licks towards herself. But impotent o f barm, the blackened fragments hissed in the basin, till paper alter paper having blazed away, Hie ewer had to give of its precious drops,' j-.ciieli the heap below her knee, imagine th e strained nerves of tiie girl, terrified by the voice oii the ruffian at her door, listening for her fathers re­luming footsteps, or the sound of wheels if he had found a conveyance, wondering if her alternation of blaze and darkness, would fail to catch any eye. Nothing that she wauled could be beard, no wheels, no voices, no hurrying footsteps, only the wretch, going up and down stairs, as if he had made all ready to go, hut wanted first to murder her or her father. She made sure he had murdered Jane, or help would have reached her ere this. And now her pile of paper was nearly ex­hausted, she was getting exhausted to : she must open her window or she would faint from heat or latigue. She paused to do so—and out on the still night air came clear and strong the clang, clanw, clang of the bell of the old meeting house. Tiie fire bell—of all sounds in the world to have evoked. A mortal terror seized her of what would be done to her for a false alarm. She had nev­er thought about her bright window creating the alarm of fire. But fast and furious rang the bell, in the old fashioned way, never stopping to count its strokes, but telling steadily on for half an hour after all the help that could be sent liad gone to seek the disaster. As she leaned out of the window, she could now hear sounds enough. Tear­ing along the main road, came the country fire brigade, the men drawing their engine, Hie lads shouting and cheering, and all the dogs far and near chiming into the chorus. She heard them hall at their very lane. She could hear the leader say, ‘Hereabouts seem­ed the burning house, but where is it now ; Hester’s high courage returned, twisting another paper a little to give it weight to fall in the yard,she lighted it aud sent it out into the darkness, another, and another, at the greatest risk to herself for the night air blew the flames back over her hand and arm Down the lane came the noisy troop, and were greeted first by the robber from the window of the front room, Mr. Stanhope’s. He shouted ‘What do you want here? There's no lire here! Oil' whilli you or I’ll lire.’ A

about the burglar, who iiad come in up­on her as she was washing the Clips, mid gagged and blindfolded her before lie lied her fast.

Hester’s arm and hand were so se­verely burnt that the doctors atten­dance was protracted over two months. But bis unremitting care, was fully equalled by Mr. Henry Lawrence, Hie young foreman of tile lire brigade, whose visits of inquiry continued even after a perfect cure was affected, and only a few sears remained to show where the deepest burns had been. He quite lost his heart to the brave girl so prompt in a desperate emergency. It may he imagined, that brave and prompt himself, lie valued courage as the very chief of virtues, blithe had the pleasure of finding that this courageous girl possessed many other virtues besides daring in danger. When the cherry trees were in full leaf, and laden witli their delicious fruit, there was a quiet wedding at the old cottage, and Peter Stanhope gave awav his only darling to a brave man who knew how to value the treasure given to him.

As to the burglar, lie was recognized at once as an old oll'ender, and at that time an escaped convict with a reward offered for his capture. The five hun­dred dollars was very cheerfully paid to Miss Stanhope, who gave one hundred of it to the firemen’s fund, and the re­mainder came in very nicely to help out the wedding outfit, and thus all the de­serving aud meritorious in my story <lid not come to any harm or loss by the false alarm.—Herald.

There is no lesson that so well repays the teacher as that by which children are taught to feel that they are trusted —that father and mother commit mat­ters of importance to their care, with confidence that they will not disappoint them. Begin this teaching while the child is yet young. Of course you must gauge the importance of the trust by Hie age of the child, tp' g care that you do not lax the little one beyond its capacity, but being just as careful to hare it understand that 5-011 are in ear­nest. I t is a great event in a child’s life when it first feels that you look to it with loving confidence for the perform­ance of certain duties—that you have trusted to its honor; and that feeling of responsibility which comes with this knowledge wakes up self-respect, and the care and faithfulness which the 5‘oungest sees must be necessary to the satisfactory execution of the work, will be good seed sown, that in after years will bear fruit, amply repaying all the trouble it cost to prepare thS’soil for its reception.

memories. I t was m a season of severe | time he realized that he was alone upon sickness, both at home, and in the vie-’ the vast plain, his game beyond his reach inity. Our mother was ill, the older and companions he knew not whether.— children either on the sick-list or absent.1 His reckoning was lost, and lie stood be­l t was quite necessary to send to tiie ; "dlilered. Io add to his misery, one olshire-tow,i, twelve miles distant, where, th°s.u flerc9 wlllJs‘ so common in that . ’ I section, earae up, andin those ‘long ago days, the most mi- blindill,r sleet.portant shopping was done, an 1 the foreign groceries purchased. Father had his buggy at the door just ready to start 011 this tour, and was making a list of Hie last items and charges from mother, when be was summoned in great haste to a patient. Here was a dilem­ma ! Tiie purchases must be made, the patient must be eared for. What was to be done? We were sitting in the south hall-door, playing with tiie baby, so near to the sick-room that we could not help hearing the consultation. Father must go to his patient—but who was to go for tiie articles so greatly needed? The ‘tailoress’ would be 011 hand in the morning, and ths cloth must be had for her work—a tailoress was an important character in those days, and if we lost our turn, there would be weeks to wait before we could secure her again. That would never do, for ‘the boys’ must soon return to school, and their clothes be ready anyhow. What could be done? We heard the hurried talk with a kind of dreamy wonder as to how they would settle tiie troublesome question ; lint, as one who could have no personal interest in the solution, went on with our frolic with baby, when mother said : —

‘Write out a list witli full directions, and send E .’

What a bound our heart gave! We nearly dropped the baby. We— not twelve years old—and mother thought we could be trusted to do sueli a big tiling! We felt a half-head taller only to think that mother, bless her, thought us capable o f it. Whether it was de­cided that we should go or not, was, just then, quite a secon lary consider­ation, yet we were ‘all ears’ to catch fa­ther’s rep ly :—

‘Send that ch ild! What does she know of buying anything? aud this is a very important errand.’

A ll! here our heart collapsed ; we didn’t quite want to go—the work seem­ed so great—but we, did want father to think us trustworthy and capable, as mother did.

‘If you think it safe for her to drive alone so far, I think you may trust her to do the errand well, with suitable di­rections. The merchants and grocers are old friends, aud will not take advan­tage of the child.'

•Well, it is the only thing we can do,’ said father, witli an anxious, dissatisfied tone ; and this great responsibility was committed to our care. How mueh we tliought in that long twelve miles’ ride to the town ! What anxious thoughts on the return ride fearing that we had forgotten something, or made some ill- advised purchase , hut under it all there was a dull pain to remember that lather didn’t quite trust us, which did not leave us until, sate at home, all the purchases laid out and examined, he drew us to his knee, close by mother's sick bed, and kissed us, witli ‘Well done, my brave g ir l! Hasn't she done well, mother?’

How mueh goed that day’s work did us, giving 11s courage wfcen duties seem­ed too hard for us, we can never esti­mate ; but the most precious of all was our mother’s trust aud father’s approba­tion. It is only by love and gentleness that a child can be taught to find real enjoyment in later or important cares. Exact it as a duty., sternly command, watch with coustantsuspieion and fault finding, and labor is drudgery, aud cares of any kinii a terror to the young.

The child either becomes stubborn, or, if timid and loving, is so nervously fearful of being blamed, that this very fear ensures the dreaded results. Ah ! if young mothers eauld know how many hours of self-reproach the grandmoth­ers pass as they look to the time when their little ones were around them, and see, too late, how many mistakes they made, simply by their own impatience, over-strictness, aud want of confidence in their children’s goo- inteution and

At length he came up­on a small clump of bushes, under which lie took shelter, sat down, aud was soon asleep and lost to his lonely position.

The boy not returning in a reasonable time to the eamp, his father and compan­ions became uneasy and set out in search of him. Guns were fired.

How the Wife Felt.— A man, at whose house I was a guest, told me that he had been a hard drinker and a cruel husband; had beaten his poor wife till she had almost become used to it. ‘But, said he, ‘the very moment I signed the pledge I thought of my wife— what would my wife say to that? Strange that I should think of my wife the first thing, blit I d id ; and, as I was goiiig home, I said to myself: Now, if I go home and tell her all of a sudden that I have sigi.ed the pledge, she’ll faint away, or she’ll up and do something, and I must break it to her by degrees. Only think of i t ! Why, the night belore I’d knocked tier down, just as like as not, if she hadn’t looked to please me, and now I was plan­ning to break news to her lor fear it would upset her.’

As near as I could gather from what he told me, he found his wife sitting over Hie embers, waiting for him. As I10 eaine into tiie house, he said :

‘Nancy, I think that---- ’‘Well, Ned. what is it?’‘Why, 1 think I shall—that is—I mean

to—Nancy, I mean----- ’‘What’s tho matter, Ned? Anything

tho matter?’Yes,’ said he, ‘the matter’s just th is - •

I've signed the temperance pledge, aud, so help me God, I’ll keep it.

She started to her feet, and she did faint away. I was just in time to catch her; aud as she lay in my arms, her eyes shut, her face so pale, thinks I she’s dead and I’ve done it now. But she wasn’t. She opened her eyes, and then put her irms around my neck ; and I didn’t know

she was so strong as she pulled and pull­ed till she got me down where I had not been before for thirty years—on my knees, i’lien she said, ‘O God! help him !’ and I aid, ‘Amen!’ and she said, ‘O God! help

niy poor Ned, aud strengthen him to keep his pledge,’ and I hollered Amen ! just as loud as I could holler. That was tho first time we ever knelt together, but it was not the last.’

His frozen clothes clanked about his body as he arose and picked up Uis gnu. lie now fully comprehended his situation, and his first thoughts were of tlis friends and something to eat. To choose his course puzzled him, yet no time was to he lost. He plucked from one of the hushes a twig, sat it on end, aud in his' boyisli way resolved on going in the direction it might fall. As the result will show it fell in the opposite direction to that in which his friends were, and he wandered farther and farther away.

His word is not to be taken; he is net allowed to be a witness, even on oath, and if a man trusts him, he does so on his own risk—he has no le­gal remedy against him. On the other hand if a man takes his books to the pub­lic officer, and declares that ho has given up all ho has, and it does not appear that lie has been doing business, knowing I10 was a bankrupt, and after a strict inves­tigation there are no suspicious circum­stances, his creditors must sign his pa­pers.

An atrocious murder was committed on Thursday last at Richmond, Mich., a station on the Chicago and Lake Michi­gan railroad, ten miles south of the mouth of the Kalamazoo river. A laborer on the road, named O'Brien, was returning from Holland City with $200, and stopped at a tavern at Richmond for the night. While there he was called out by two men, and was never seen again. During the night an old shanty near by was burned, and in the ruins, next morning, were found the remains of a human be­ing, which from some remnants of stock­ings were positively identified as those of O'Brien. Henry Ward has been ar­rested on suspicion of being one of the murderers.

A late despatch from Detroit states that two more murders have been committed at Richmond. O11 Thursday night an un­known man was killed by unknown par­ties, and on Friday night tho body ol another unknown man, apparently a la­borer, was found on the road about three miles north of the settlement, with a fear­ful gash in the thigh severing the ar­teries. There is no clue to the murder­ers. The town is whiskey-cursed, which is probably the source of these and the other horors.

The Boston Herald tells the following true story:

A dozen years ago George Keyes was a grocer iu Charlestown, doing a good business at tho corner of Washington street, anil computed to be worth $10,- 100 or $15,000. To-day, in his rags, he feli a victim to intemperance aud makes one of the 60,000 who are yearly (accord­ing to total abstinence authorities) march­ing on to a drunkard's grave. He was at the time of selling out of his business a thrifty, sober man, with a wife and two or three children, but tailing into intem­perate habits, his money dwindled away, aud other misfortunes overtook him. liis children died aud his wife got a decree lor divorce. Of late he has been em­ployed at wood-sawing; and has lived on Harvard llill. Although he has worked pretty steadily he has seen few perfectly sober moments, his means being nearly all squandered for rum, but bo has sel­dom or never got into a state of boister­ous drunkenness so as to claim the at­tention of tiie police. This iuornin_ about nine o’clock, he went into the store of D. B. Fox, where ho has worked quite often, and borrowed a tumbler for the purpose of taking a powder, remarking as he did so, ’the doctor told me not'to take but half of it, but I guess I’ll take the whi le? Alter this he went down to a saw filer's on Park street, by the name of Gordon. He told him he had just tak­en a powder. In a few minutes he be­gan to nod and before long he fell over backwards, aud Mr. Gordon saw that his face was turning purple. He became alarmed and sent for officer Kelley, who took him to the Station House. Dr. Fos­ter was called aud there beiug indication of poison he administhred ipecac, sul­phate of zinc and mustard; but without effect. A stomach pump was then used but the man was beyond recovery and died at about twelve o’clock. Dr. Foster and Dr. Bickford examined the paper which contained the powder, and which Keyes threw away at Fox’s, but found nothing upon it; but the indications pointed conclusively to tho lacttS it some opiate was taken, and it was probably sulphate of morphine. The deceased was about 13 years old. His lather lives at GrotouJunction, isa mostresprectahle man, and has done everything in his pow­er to reform his son. No special eause is assigned for the suicide, but despondency was probably added to an intellect dis­ordered by rum.

The Astonishing Successes of Prus­sia.—The N. Y. Herald has an article on the general uneasiness which has been produced throughout Europe by the effects of tho late war. It says:

The astonishing successes of Prussia and the marvellous organization of the military system of that nation is a subject for the consideration of European states­men. Then the fact that France dropped within tho short space of almost half of a year from the high post she occupied among European nations to that of a com­paratively weak, dismembered and de­moralized state, leaving her successful antagonist in lull possession of the field which she so recently occupied, is calcu­lated to increase rather than allay the an­xiety pervading every nation of Europe at this moment. We have only to look at the debates in the English Parliament on the subject of military reorganization, to the immense military preparations going on in Russia, to Turkey, where tho army is beiug overhauled, to Austria—in fact to all tho great governments of the con­tinent, to ascertain the feverish anxiety at the present time existing. And this feeling is not-confined to the large states, the smaller ones are also affected. The little kingdom of Sweden, isolated as it is, is not exempt from the general taint.

Iu the midst of a stormy discussion, a gentleman rose to settle the matter in dispute. Waving his hand majestically over tho excited disputants, he began: ■Gentlemen, all I want is common sense —‘Exactly,’ Jerrold interrupted, ‘that is precisely what you do want!’

Thirst Quenched Without Drink­ing.—It may not be generally known to our readers that water, even salt water, imbibed through the skin appeases thirst almost as well as fresh water taken in­wardly. In illustration of this subject,1 correspondent has sent us the following abridged quotation from a ‘Narrative of Captain Kennedy’s losing his Vessel, and his Distresses afterwards,’ which was no­ticed in ‘Dodsley’s Annual Register for 1969? ‘I cannot conclude without mak­ing mention of the great advantage I re­ceived froiii soaking my clothes twice a day in salt water, and putting them on without wringing. It was a considerable time beforse I could make the people com­ply with this measure, although Irom see­ing the good effects produced, they af­terwards practiced it twice a day of their own accord. To this discovery I may with justice attribute the preservation of my own life and six other persons, who must have perished if it had not been put in use. The hint was first communicated to me from the perusal of a treatise writ­ten by Dr. Lind. The water absorbed through the pores of the skin produced in every respect the same effect as would have resulted from the moderate drinking ■faiiy liquid. The saline particles, how­

ever, which remained in our clothes be­came iucrusted by the heat ot the sun and that of our own bodies, lacerating our skins and beiug otherwise inconvenient; hut we found that by washing out these particles, and frequently wetting our clothes without wringing twice in the course of a day, the skin became well in a short time. Atter these operations we uniformly found that the violent drought went off, and the parched tongue was cured iu a lew minutes alter bathing and washing our clothes; aud at the same time we found ourselves as mueh refresh­ed if we had received some actual nour­ishment. Four persons iu the boat who drank salt water went delirious and died; but those who avoided this and followed the above practice experienced no such symptoms.’

The Potato in France.—The intro­duction of the potato into France has been ascribed to Parmentier, who is said to have found the plant in a field near Mayenco at the time of the siege of that city about the middle of last century.— Whether this story is true or not, it is certain that, on his return from Germany lo France, Parmentier used every means to encourage the uso ot the potato as food. He is saied to have resorted to a curious stratagem lo make it popular.— Having planted a field ot potatoes, he stationed around it a lino of armed senti­nels. This extraordinary precaution, of course, excited much comment, and the precious treasure, thus securely guarded became very desirable to' the neighbors. The vigilance of the guards was judicious­ly relaxed to such an extent that the crop was gathered by the more ventnrsome among the covetous neighbors, and thus the excellence of the potato became es­tablished in the vicinity. Parmentier next undertook to place the potato upon the tables of the rich. He presented him­self before his king Louis XVI., with a bouquet containing a flower of the Sola­tium tuberosum (potato;) asked to des­cribe the pretty flower, lie spoke of the value of the tuber, and he induced the king to have it cultivated upon the royal grounds. In Germany, the potato was known as a garden plant as early as 1710; it was not cultivated on the large scale till much later, aud it required the fam­ine of 1771-1772 to overcome all preju­dices against this esculent. Even at the beginning of the present century, accord- inti to M. Pepin, very few varieties of po­tato weie cultivated, and these chiefly for cattle; it was not used by the better classes until 1818 or 1820.

I11 the Grand Encyclopedia, commenc­ed in 1650, it is stated, under the title Po­tato, that the peasantry of certain dis­tricts made use o f it as an article of food but that it is a crude element, difficult of digestion.

One of the gallant naval actions daring tho war of 1812 was between the Enter­prise and Boxer, a Yankee and a British ship, off the northern coast of New Eng­land. A lady sends an account to a Port­land paper of some mementos of captured British vessels, among which is an old ‘King George’ blanket that don’t seem to know how to wear out:

The Boxer was sold by government, and purchased by my fffther and ancle; but whether she was fitted for sea by them, or broken up, I do not now recollect.— Among her relics I have in my possession asmalTcaunon aud cartridge-box, a chain- shot and a two-quart bottle (the last mark­ed G. R. with a crow’s foot.) I have also a very thick and large-sized woolen blan­ket, also marked G. R. with a crow’s foot, burnt in, I think my father has told me, with powder, by what process I cannot conceive, and may be entirely wrong in my impression. This blanket has beon in constant use in the family for more than fifty-five years—now covers my own bed —and seems to be good for as many more years, while it might have been used for as long a period before the naval battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise off our coast. This blanket is a significant comment upon these ‘shoddy’ days. As some of your little readers may not un­derstand what ‘G. R.’ means, let me say that they are the initial letters of Georgias Rex, or King George, one of the Georges being King of Great Britain at the time of tho manufacture of the articles.

Friday, M arch 17, 1871.

T h . R em oval o f Sena tor S u m n e r.The exciting event of last week was the

action of the majority of RepublicanSenators in removiug Charles Sumner from the post he has held so long as Chair­man of the Committee on Foreign Rela­tions. This action has received the em­phatic, and almost the unanimous, dis­approval of the Republican press and people. The sentiment of indignation at the act is spontaneous and general, and shows nnmistakeably that the people, were it in their power, would with gen­eral acclaim re-instate Mr. Sumner, at whatever risk ol offending the Presi­dent.

The public feeling of disapprobation of this act is not excited because the people thoroughly endorse the entire political conduct of the eminent Massachusetts Senator, for such is not the fact. But Mr. Sumner, though a statesmen who has his crochets and makes mistakes, is an honest and able statesman, and not mere­ly a politician. Whatever may be his faults, his ability, his integrity, his inde­pendence, his singleness of purpose are undoubted, and he is a representative man. whom the country will stand by, be­cause he always stands by the country, as he sees its interests. His long experience and able service in the position from which he has been deposed, his eminent abilities, his learning, and the thorough training which he has acquired for this branch of public service, place his re­moval in the light of an outrage, if no belter reasons are given for the act than have yet been made to appear.

The general conviction appears to be that the moving cause of Mr. Sumner’s removal is nothing more nor less than that Senator’s opposition to the Presi­dent's San Domingo scheme, and perhaps his views with regard to Joint High Com­mission now in session upon the Alaba­ma and fishery questions. The reason for the change assigned by Senator IIowc. in the debate in the Senate last Friday, was that “ the personal relations existing between the Senator from Massachusetts and the President of the United States and the head of the State Department were such as to preclude all social inter­course between them.” No complaint, was made that Mr. Sumner had relused to enter into all necessary official inter­course with the President or Mr. Fish, while as to the latter, Senator Schurz said that Mr. Sumner had declared he was not only willing to consult with the Secretary, but to regard him as an old friend.But if Mr. Howe’s allegation is true, the country will regard it as no sufficient reason for the action taken. Senators Wil­son and others declared that the San Do­mingo afi’tir was at the bottom of the whole business. All the New Ungland Sena­tors except Mr. Edmunds of Vt., and Mr. Hamlin of this State, stood by Mr. Sumner and refused to sanction his re-

’Taiqval. As to the President's share in the business, we find the following in the Boston Journal: —

'■ I t is stated that General Butler, in behalf of some members of the Massachusetts dele­gation. repaired to the President, to ascertain his views in the matter. Thereupon the Pres­ident explieitly said that Mr. Sumner could not be retained as Chairman of the Foreign Committee unless against the earnest wishes of both himself and the Secretary of State — Among the important matters which the Ad­ministration would have to submit to that com mittee. and which required the sympathy of its chairman, were the report of the San Do mingo Cominissioaers, ami the Joint High Commission on the Alabama claims and the fi-hery question. Mr. Sumner’s views on these questions were both very pronounced and very hostile, and his removal was tints ab- soluetlv necessary. This closed the confer­ence. It will lie seen, therefore, that no pre­tence was raised that Mr. Sumner was hostile either to the Administration or to the Presi­dent personally; but p ie whole objection was based upon the assumption as to wiiat course the Senator was going to take in a future ex­igency, which, in his speeches, lie has thus far carefully refused to anticipate.”

Whether the report of this interview - be.correct or not, it appears quite evident

that senator Sumner was removed at the demand of the Administration, and the accession to such a demand cannot be justified on any grounds that have yet been made public. If the President’s great persistency to carry out his San Domingo scheme is tile occasion of this unacceptable event, it furnishes a damag­ing contradiction of his declaration that “ he should have no policy to enforce against the wishes of (he people,” and will tend to einbarass, rather than forward that project, as well as to diminish pub­lic confidence in the Executive. And if Senator Howe gave tile best excuse that can be rendered for Mr. Sumner’s depo- -sttion, it is a yielding to Executive dicta­tion within an independent branch of the government, which we believe to be con­trary to the public interests and meriting the public disapprobation.

Inaiiffiiration o f the C ity Govern­m ent.

The members elect of the two branch­es of the City Council met at their rooms, on Monday, at 10 o’clock A. M., for or­ganization, as required by the city char­ter.

The members elect of the Board of Al­dermen were called to order by Mayor Kimball, and Messrs. Case of Ward 3 anti Lovejoy ot Ward 5 were appointed a committee on credentials, who reported that the Aldermen elect from all the Wards were present with credentials in due form.

Alderman Case was then charged with a message informing the Common Conn cil that the Board of Aldermen was tem­porarily organized and ready to meet them in Convention.

The Common Council was temporarily organized by the choice of Councilman Anderson ol Wald -1 ns President and Mr. E. Davies as SecreUiry, and a coin mittee on credentials was appointed, who reported twenty members present with p ro p er c red en tia ls . A message was then sent to the Board of Aldermen informing them that the members of the Common Council were ready to meet them in con­vention.

The members of the two Boards then met in convention, and the oath of office was administered to the Aldermen and Councilmen elect by tile City Clerk.

Alderman Glover and Councilmen Eug- ley and Lawry were then charged witii a message to Samuel Bryant, Esq., May­or elect, informing him that the members of the two Boards were assembled in convention and ready to receive him and listen to any communication lie might have to make. The committee reported that they had performed their duty and that the Mayor elect was pleased to say he would attend upon the Convention forthwith.

Thereupon the Mayor elect came into the Convention and tile oath of office was administered to him by the retiring Mayor, lion. G. W. Kimball, Jr.

Prayer was then offered by Rev. Cos­tello 'Weston.

The Mayor then proceeded to deliver his inaugural address, as follows; — Gentlemen of tui; City Council:—

In assuming the control of the munici­pal affairs of our city, which have been committed tons, it becomes us first of nil to recognize the obligation resting upon us to be faithful servants of those who have, by electing us to the positions we occupy,"place their interests in otirkeep-

We should remember that the gov­ernment of Ute city lias not been entrust­ed to our care Hint we may serve class or party, bat that it is our duty with the best wisdom nt our comma.id, faithfully to watch over and care for the welfare of our ci'y, anil that by accepting the trust given u<, we have pledged ourselves as honorable men not to neglect the duties of car official positions, but to serve the city with faithfulness throughout the term of onr election, even nt the expense of personal convenience mid private in­terest. i need hardly say, gentlemen, that my confidence in you does not allow me to "doubt your determination to enter upon these duties free from personal pre­judices, unbiased by private interests or Irietidships, and with an eye single to the best interests of the city; and permit tile to assure you that it is my purpose to co­operate with you, in carryingout nil inen- ures which I may believe will promote

we consider that these reservoirs are our only sure dependeuce in such emergen­cies.

F IR E DEPARTM ENT.

It is believed that our tire department is now in good working order; and it is due o those who compose it, that we re­member the debt we owe them. It is well known that we depend in a great measure lor firemen, upon young men, who us a general rule have little or noth iug nt stake. Engines, as agenerel thing cauuot lie mantled by Hie owners of the property to be protected. These young men generously volunteer their services, and risk their lives. It is not in our pow­er Io make them financial compensation lor the work they do. But it certainly does not become us to withhold the as- -iirmiee of grateful appreciation, which is the only recompense we can make them . As a community, our conduct to­wards them should be such ns to assure them that their generous services are neither undervalued nor thanklessly re­ceived by us who are benefited thereby.

STREETS.Several appropriations have been made

lor the survey of the streets of the city. An Engineer has been employed, and the survey partially completed. It is very desirable, both for the city and in­dividuals interested, that the bounds ot our streets be established at the earliest possible day- It is recommended that I he necessary steps be taken tor the com­pletion of the survey and the settlement of those boundaries. The nature of out- soil and the diameter of our business, necessarily make the expense ol keeping our streets in repair, large, and render it impossible to maintain them in the con­dition to lie desired. But the people have a right to demand that the money appropriated for this purpose shall be ex­pended in Hie most judicious manner, and that those persons to whom its ex­penditure is intrusted shall be chosen on­ly with reference to their fitness for the place. A tnaa may be well qualified to serve the city with credit as S. S. Com­mittee and yet lack the essential qualifi­cations of n Street Commissioner. 1 am strongly impressed with the idea that our streets would be better cared lor anti our money more economically expended under the superintendence of three or more road agents, who should reside in mid would consequently be familiar with the needs of different sections of the city, than if the whole responsiblity be given to one man, however competent he might be. Such an arrangement would make it possible for mi agent to person­ally superintend all the repairs and alter­ations of the streets under his charge. 1 ought not, perhaps, to close my sugges­tions on this point, without calling your attention to the subject ol' sewerage.— Sometime since, by direction ol the city government, a survey mid estimates were made of a sewer from the foot of Pleas­ant street to the brook.

it is believed by many that a sufficient sum may be realized from individuals who would avail themselves of this op­portunity to drain their premises, to meet the expenses of building this sew­er. 1 have no means of knowing whether this opinion is well grounded. It cannot fail to tie apparent to nil, that our Mam street can never be permanently improv­ed until some system of drainage is adopted. In the mean time large sums of money must he expended annually without producing any lasting benefit.I consider this also of sufficient impor­tance ns n sanitary measure to commend itself to vour consideration.

2 7 tc Schools o f Thomaston.The graduating exercises of the High

School took place on Friday evening last, mid although the evening was dark and dreary, there was a large number in at­tendance—in fact the house was lull.— The exercises of the graduating class were very creditable indeed and making it evident to every one present that they, together with their teachers, were entitled to a large share of praises. The gradu­ating class numbered nine, mid we give their names together with the subject ol their themes below:—

•3* Au iucorrect statement has appear­ed in the papers this week concerning the escape ot a convict Irom the Slate Prison, at Thomaston, last Friday. The prisoner who escaped was not “ Henry Grant,” as tile papers have it, but An­drew F. Bland. Bland, who was con­fined in the old wing of the prison, wa» allowed to remain in his cull during the day, in cons- queneu of having a lame ankle, and managed to get out of his cell into the corridor, and thence escaped through one of the windows, the grat ings of which were very insecure.— Bland was committed ou a sentence ol live years, for larceny, and had served out not quite half his term. He is a na­tive of Nova Scotia, and is about 38 years ol age, 5 it. 10 inches in height, with grey or hazel eyes and dark complexion, lie wore "Burnside'’ whiskers, weighs about ISO pounds and was a little lame. A re­ward of $100 is offered for his capture.— This escape, and Hie fact that convicts have escaped, within a few (lays, from the State prisons of Massachusetts, Conn., N. Y., N. J. and Penn., should impress upon the minds of prison officials the tie cessity of constant vigilance in order to hold the class of criminals with which our penitentaries are now being filled.

A.mount of. Lime Manufatured in this city in 1870.—We have been furn­ished by tholnspector, Alden Ulmer Esq , witii the following report of the manufact­ure of lime during the year past:—

the public welfare.FIN A N CE.

For a full statement of our finances. I respect fully i cier you to tile report of our City Treasurer. 1 learn from him that the"total amount, of our debt—less our re­sources—is $199,000.00.

T h a t the increase during the past year has been $10,000.00.

Tilts increase is due Io tlie building ol tile new Engine House on Spring street, mnl tile completion of the Middle street school house.

Thu law of tlie State makes it our duty to provide for the retirement of $3000 of our railroad loan tile current year. On I tie Lincoln street school house loan, there will also become due $3000, and on the Middle street school house loan, $1000.

1 recommend that a sufficient sum be raised by taxes to meet these debts, pay the interest on the public debt, and pro­vide lor the current expenses of the year.

KNOX AND LINCOLN RAILROAD.The pecuniary interest in the construc­

tion of this road is so large, and its early completion of such importance to the fu­ture of our city, that 1 deem it proper to lay such information as 1 possess before you. The amount ot stock taken by the city was $100,000. In addition to this, the credit of the city has been loaned the company to the amount ot $558,000.

J am informed that “ the road is now brought up to tlie sub-grade the entire length, the rails are laid to Wiscasset, tlie bridgesare all nearly completed, sufficient rolling stock is purchased, ferry slips com­pleted, anil freight mid passenger depots contracted for.” It is devoutly to lie hop­ed that no FRrthcr aid will be called for, and that Hie assurance given by the di­rectors of nil early completion of the road will be realized.

PA U PE R S.To provide for the welfare anti com­

fort of the city’s poor, for the coming year is a duty that devolves upon us. Any

schools.We have good cause to congratulate

ourselves on the improvements that have been made during tile last few years, lor the better accommodation of onr public schools mid the consequently increased efficiency of tins important city institu­tion. We have now two spacious and elegant buildings for school purposes, f i l l e d tip witii ail the desirable modern improvements. We also have in the City Hall building, a comodious mid well furnished room, lor the accomuio dal ion of the Miscellaneous School. These houses have been built, mid this loom lilted on mid furnished, ill addi-U“ lion Lo our former rooms, which w ere |Cl', made to accommodate our scholars when tliey were quite as numerous in tlie city us they are at the present time. It is believed that. our school buildings me­llow as good ns the financial condition ol the city warrants. By tlie erection of the Middle street school house, three buildings formerly used, are now unoc­cupied. I recommend Hint they be sold, together with tlie lots on which they stand, m ill the proceeds be appropriated towards tlie payment of the outstanding bills on tlie Middle street school bouse, us I am informed there are some which nt this time are unadjusted. Tile senti­ment of the city is undoubtedly in favor of a liberal appropriation for tlie sup­port ot our public schools, mid demands that it be wisely expended. A detailed report of the school work for the year will be l-urnished you by the proper offi­cers, on whom this duty more especial­ly devolves. It is a matter worthy of serious consideration whether a more thorough en lot cement, ot truant laws might not be beneficial in bringing more of Hie young of our city to share more fully the advantages of onr school sys­tem. With such ample educational fa­cilities, it would seem to he wise to use every means in our power to lessen ig­norance, which is tlie great hindrance lo human progress mid Happiness.

In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me through you to retain my thanks to my fellow citizens for the unexpected mid unmerited compliment paid me in my election to this position; mid to assure them, that although I eutertipou its duties witii great distrust of my qualifications to

W aldoboro A n n u a l Election.Mr. Editor:—At our annual meeting

to-day lor the election ot town officers, the public-spirited Democrats co nposed largely of young and middle-aged men and the Rnpublicans joined hands and made up a citizen’s ticket, and succeeded in defeating the old Hunker Democracy which has so long retarded the wheels ol progress in our now very quiet vil’age.

It was a glorious victory; an over­whelming triumph of right against ty­ranny. We have long looked for this eventful day, and now that the people have risen in the pride of their strength and thrown off the yoke of oppression it is hoped we may have the lostering aid ol our town for the encouragement of manufacturing interests, that our wa­ter power may he no longer unimproved.

Our people are in earnest, and think it is time for us to bury old political preju­dices and turn our attention towards building up a village which has more natural facilities and better material for developing its resources than any other of its size in the State.

The large drain of our noble sons anti daughters from our homes for the last few years in quest of employment has

character of our people. In this connec­tion allow me to recommend to your con­sideration the wisdom of some provision making it Hie duty of the City Physician to attend paupers of other municipalities who may chance to be within the limits of our city and need medical attend­ance.

As we have at present no ordinance re­quiring the City Physician to attend upon them, it lias been tile custom to pay him a salary, deemed sufficient to compensate him only lor attendance on what ar termed “domestic paupers,” while the practice among “ foreign paupers,” lias been left open to all physicians; and the charges for such attendance, which wc are obliged to collect from other towns, have in many cases, been complained of as exorbitant. Snell a provision, 1 have no doubt, would lessen the chances tor disagreement, in the settlement of these claims against other towns.

If Ibis recommendation should meet your approval, it may be well to pass the necessary ordinance and fix the salary, betore the selection of a City Physician.

TIIE STATE GONE DEMOCRATIC.

THE DEFEAT OF MR. PIKE CONCEDED ANDTHE ELECTION OF THREE DEMOCRATICREPRESENTATIVE" PRODABLE-TIIE HOUSEOF REPRESENTATIVES REPUBLICAN.Concord. March 14.—The verdict has

been rendered and lor the lirst time in sixteen te a r s a d em ocratic g o v e rn o r is elected in New Hamjisiiire. file result entirely disappoints the expectations of i he republican managers and is generally attributed to the controversy about the Senate loreign relations committee at Washington. The republican defection is much heavier than the democrats an- ticipatej, and from the returns received up to this hour (11 p . m.) there is reason to tear that not only is Mr. Pike defeated, hut that all the republican nominees for Congress have shared the same late. From figures obtained at the Monitor of­fice it appears that 127 towns and cities give a net io*s of 2149, thus giving the State to the democracy beyond a ques­tion. The vote lor the labor-relorin and temperance tickets is very light in the towns heard from, and will probably not reach 1090 in the entire State. The republican loss in Concord is 103; in Dover 353; in Manchester 41G and in Nashua 19G. The republicans accept the result good-naturedly, and are still hop­ing that additional returns may change the result, while the democrats are jubi­lant and noisy. The Statesman office gives figures from 138 towns, the aggre­gate votes of which is: Pike, 23,385; Weston, 23,659; Cooper, 250; scatter­ing, 132, being a net republican loss of 1812. Thus far, Mr. Weston lacks 114 votes of a clear majority, but his election is conceded on all hands.

'2 ^ . The most “ vexed question” which the City Council has to meet each spring is that re­lating to the care of our streets and to the proper method of administering this depart­ment. What policy shall be adapted as to street repairs? and shall the work of keeping the streets in order be entrusted to one man, or to three, or to seven ? It will be seen that the Mayor expresses the view that the streets would be better cared for under three or more Road Commissioners, or agents, than under one, and we should judge the present City Council might be inclined to take that view of the subject. Still the expressions of opinion we have heard are not sufficiently numerous to warrant us in predicting the result. The mat­ter will claim early attention in the City Coun­cil, and with no opinion of our own to urge upon the question of the number of commis­sioners, we hope it will be settled right.

It will be seen that the Mayor favors the plan of constructing a sewer through Main street. This subject has been before the City Government for several years now, and wo think ic ought to receive careful consideration and thorough investigation. I f a sewer will realize the advantages to be hoped for from it, it should be built without another year’s delay, and if it would not prove a substantial public improvement, the objections should be made to appear.

took place ri eenti}- at Las Tunas lim ing which twenty-five insurgents were killed. The people of Nuevitas are preparing articles, and the Puerto Prineipeans are arranging their houses for tlie reception of Vahnaseda, who is expected to visit the insurgents. Colonel Iloracio Simoni has been captured and executed near Ma- garabena. There iSf a rumor ol the death of the Marquis of Santa Lucia and Ed­wards Figuerocdoz. Tlie Diario to-day in an editorial favors tlie placingof a price upon the liead of Maxima Gomez, aa in­surgent general, assigning as a reason that Gomez is a foreigner and an incen­diary. The insurgent Captain Carlos Cerice Lomento, before beint; led to ex ecutiouat Gienfusros. was married.

Mr. Edwin Wnlsli will occupy the store va­cated by Mr. Morton, in which he will carry on the Fancy and Dry Goods business.

The annual town meeting will be held on Monday. The most important articles in the wairant are to build a large school house in the central part of the village, one on the Beach Woods road near Willis Corner, and one at the meadows. These are all very much needed, as all know* W hether the town will build or not we cannot say ; but trust that the town will seethe folly of their course last year, and endeavor to correct it this. “ A penny wise and pound foolish ” course in regard to school house accommodations does not be­come a town of the wealth and intelligence of Thomaston.

£5F*The Mayor thinks that “ our school build­ings are now as good as the financial condition of the city warrants.” We have only to say that if a stranger to our city were to examine our public buildings and were to be first led to the Portland street school-house and bade to look upon that as an exponent of the city’s finan­cial condition,” he wouldn’t be willing to buy our municipal bonds at 25 cents cn the dollar. But this is the worst of the lot, and speaking generally, the city can certainly ill atf’ord to spend more money for schoolhouses just at present. S till, the Portland street scholars must bemoan their hard lot when they think of those who enjoy the privileges of the High. School building or the new schoolhouse iix

Ward 7. The new house in Ward 7 cost $ 12,000, while the ichole thirteen other sch<y>l- liouses owned by the city, exclusive of the High School building, were valued last yvar by the Committee on City Property at $0,150.— The wants of the Ward 7 schools cou’M doubt­less have been as fully met by a les^ expendi­tu re , but that part of the city has obtained a beautiful schoolhouse, which we hope will serve its needs for many years. Much still re­mains to b e done before the city schools are all well accommodated in pleasant anti health­ful rooms, but this must be a work of time, and it is a work on which faithlul care and fore- thought should be bestowed.

WATCHESThe ex tensive use] of these watches lo r the last

fifteen years by R ailway Conductors, Engineers and Expressm en, the m ost exacting of w atch-w earers, has thoroughly dem onstrated the strength , steadi­ness, durability and accuracy ot tiie W altham W atch. To satisfy th a t class in all these respects, is to decide the question as to tiie real value ot these time, keepers.

More th an 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 of these watches are now speaking io r them selves in the pockets ot the people —a proof and a guaran tee o f th e ir superiority over all o thers.

The superior o rganization and g rea t ex ten t o f the Company’s W orks a t W altham , enables them to pro­duce w atches n t a price w hich renders competition futile, nnd those who buy any o th e r watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cen t, more lo r th e ir watches than is necessary.

These time-pieces combine every im provem ent that a long experience bus proved of real p ractical use.— H aving had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-m aking orig ina ting in th is country or in Eu­rope, only those were finally adopted which seven testing by the m ost skilfull artisans in our w orks, and long use on the pa rt o f the public, dem onstrated to be essen tia l to correct and enduring tim e-keep­ing.

Among the many improvem ents we would partic­ularize :

The invention and use o f a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent dam age to the tra in by the breakage of m ain-springs, is original w ith the A m eri­can W atch Company, who, having had the refusal ol all o ther contrivances, adopted Fogg’s p a ten t pinion as being the best and faultless.

H ardened aud tem pered hair-springs, now univer­sally adm itted by W atchm akers to be the best, are used in all grades o f W altham W atches.

All W altham W atches have dust-proof caps, pro­tecting the m ovem ent from dust, and lessening the necessity ot the frequent c leaning necessary in o ther w atches.

Our new p a ten t stem -w inder, o r keyless w atch is already a decided success, and a great"im provem ent on any stem -w inding w atch in the A m erican m arket, and by ta r the cheapest watch ot its quality now of fered to the public. To those living in portions ot the United .States w here w atchm akers do not ubounti. watches w ith the above m entioned improvements which tend to ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durab ili­ty and convenience, m ust prove invaluable.

its na tu ra l V itality and Color.A dressing which

is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color with the glos3 and freshness o f youth. Thia hair is thick­

ened, falling hair cheeked, and bald­ness often, tiiougli not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where tlie follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi­ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, aud consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances whieli make some preparations dangerous nnd injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit hut not harm it. I l wanted merely for a

H A I R D R E S S I N G ,nothing else can he found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre aud a grateful perfume.

Cleanse tlie Vitiated Blood whenever you find Its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions or sores; cleanse it when you And i t ob­structed and sluggish in the veins, cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will te ll you when.

THE SCIENCE OF LIFE, OR SELF-PRESERVA­TION. A Medical Treatiso on tho Cause und Cure of E xhausted Vitality, Premature Decuxe in Max, Ner­vous and PnrsiCAL Debility, H ypochondria, and all other diseases arising from tho Errors op Youth, or the Indiscretions or Excesses of mature years. This is indeed a book for every mam Price only $1.00 285 pages, bound in cloth.

A B o o k fo r E v e r y b o d y .Flattered by the reception of, and great demand for,

the above valuable and timely treatises, and also to meet a great need of the present age, the author has just published a new book, treating exclusively of NERV0C3 AND MENTAL DISEASES. 150 pp. cloth. Price $1 00, or sent free on receipt of $3 for the other two books, postage paid.

These arc, beyond all comparison, the most extra­ordinary works on Physiology ever published. There, is nothing whatever tha t the Married or S ingle, of Either S ex, can either require or wish to know, ’out what is fully explained, and many matters of tho most Important and interesting character are introduced to which no allusion oven can bo found in any other works in our language. All the New D iscoveries of tho author, whose experience is such as probably never before fell to the lot of any man, aro given in full. No person should be without these valuable book3.

“ Valuable Books. — We have received the valuable medical works published by the Peabody Medical Insti­tute- These books are of actual merit, and should find a place in every intelligent family. They aro not the cheap order of abominable trash, published by irre­sponsible parties, and purchased to gratify coarse tastes, bu t aro written by a responsible professional gentleman of eminence, as a source of instruction on vital matters, concerning which lamentable iguorance exists. Tho important subjects presented are treated with delicacy, ability, and care, and, as an appendix, many useful prescriptions for prevailing complaints are added.” — Coos Republican, Lancaster, N . I I .

“ The author of these books 13 one of the most learned and popular physicians o f the day, and is entitled to the gratitude of our race for theso invaluable produc­tions. I t seems to be his aim to induce men and women to avoid the cause o f thoso diseases to which they aro subject, aud ho tell3 them j ust how and when to do it.” — Chronicle, F arm ington, M aine, Sep t. 7 , 1SG9.ICZEither book sent by mail on receipt of price.

N. B. The Author of the above-uiuned medical works is the Chief Consulting Physician of the Peabody Medical institute, and is so constantly employed in consultation with invalids from all parts of the country, that he has no time to attend to mere business details. Therefore all letters should be addressed to the PEABODY MEDICAL INSTITUTE, or to Dr. W. II. PARKER, the Medical Assistant of the Author, and his Business Agent, who, as well as tlie Author himself,may be consulted on all diseases requiring skill, secrecy and experience.
