N either the plug, or stake brace, two po6t, or a wire brace seemed to be satisfac­tory, when used long enough to need re pairs and something better, was sought. W e believe it has been found in the brace described below:—

As repairs are alm.ost yearly required especially where plugs are used, and the substitution of new plugs entails a greater expense than this brace will cost, it be­comes of interest to every owner or worker of a vineyard to use some plan that will not let the vines of the trellis sag or hang down, when the grapes are beginning to ripen. The territory of the New Y ork portion of the grape belt is covered by a patent deed, to J . H . H all, and those interested, should inquire about it in person, or by letter, for the cost of farm nghts, or instruction about its use, of

1 } d . R e p u b l i c a n : — 1 was w*ry. 'Bsnch pleased and edifiied to tead a s Sdfejle in the R e p u b l i c a n from the.pen of my old friend and classmate, Bro. Tennant;

T rue indeed the great object of Tem ­perance R eform ation is to educate the moral sense of th e people sd tha t dram selling will be regarded as a crim e. W e have undertaken in ' this reform ation to renovate the en tire social body, to break down the old and time-honored customs of the days of *drink, to purify ' m ankind by the blessed Gospel, by agitation from the pulpit, rostrum and press. W hat changes [ have witnessed in ten years of fighting

the rum power in Iowa. Yes, I go back th irty years and I thank God the work Ys more than half finished of reform ing the drink habit. T he whole body of society has changud. T he light of tru th has been spread abroad until men understand the evil of the rum traffic; to know it is as a baleful and God-forbidden business. To that number of voters mentioned by Bro. T ennant, let me ask you to look for one moment a t the visible results of the traffic on all the dearest interests of yqur towns­people. Look at its handywork as written out in woe and desolation on the whole face of your society. Oh look at the in­numerable hearts that have long silently bled over the ruin- of all their dearest hopes till they can bleed in silence no more. Thousands of 6uch still sigh among the living of the land; and oh how many thousands have hidden their crushed and weary hearts in the grave. Tbe sad, sad memory of one such as these comes to me, and oh, how it makes my heart ache. Look for a moment a t the rum seller, who sells all forms of distem pered fancy, wild and evil desires; he reads h is work all arorfbd him in dilapidated dwellings and mortgag­ed farms, that have dropped bit by bit in ­to his (ill; it is w ritten on the pale-haggard faces of his victims around him . Day by day as they visit his counters fie sees the progressive debasement and shame he is working. H e marks the fierce th irst that drives the ripening sot more frequently to his haunt, the hand more tremulous today, the raim ent more filthy and worn; he sees the growing marks of debauchery in the bleared eyes, the trembling limbs and the unsteady step; still he gives the cursed dram that has caused it all. Of all that vice and woe and growing infamy, he is there the master spirit. Let the saloon keepers of Westfield understand tha t their business has no claim on the forbearance of the Christian fathers and mothers of Westfield. Perverted law has long allowed the dealer his ponnd of flesh and patiently we have bourn it. We look at the d runk­ard maker with all the license earth could give him simply as a privileged malefactor. In all his wealth he is rich in blood bought bank stock and potter-field farm a^betw een him and all good men is only a th in p a r­tition, a bit of paper called a license. The wealth he has got is the monument of his infamy and the measure 3f his crime. Among the abused ones that awaken our tenderest sympathies and appeal to our deepest sense of compassion are the women and children who never touch tbe vile stuff; the deepest pangs the greatest anguish are endured by the wives, mothers and children of the 60ts of today. Back of the visible ravages of intemperance there lies a black burnt field which has never been fully explored and which can never be more than partially exposed. *It is the burnt field of social affection. I t is here that all the higher and more ffoble aspi­rations of woman are cruelly crushed and blighted. ' Fathers, you who voted a curse deep as.hell itself upon that fairest of all eastern cities, Westfield, reflect, I pray you, upon what you have done! Reflect uwon that immense load of grief and anguish that is sure to fall with crushing weight upon more than one home in W est­field ! T hat little g irl of yours, whose joyous laugh and merry song cheers your home, may in after years return to your home with a broken heart, her life with all of its hopes ruined by a drunken hus­band ! Y et by your vote you open the flood gates of hell itself and l^ t flow into your beautiful city the. wet dam nation that may make possible your own grief-stricken mothers and wives of today, made so by rum, we would want no better evidence of a law against the destroyer of woman’s peace, of woman’s joy. So let us labor and pray until the drink habit, that relic of barberism and ignorance, is banjshed from the world.

statue of David, at Eloreaeo, by Michael Angelo.] *

In a fair and ancient city,‘Neath the bine Italian sky,

Where rich treasures art has gathered, As the years rolled swiftly by ;

Treasures vast of painting, sculpture, Rare mosaic, carving strange,—

Stands a statue that has witnessed Font long centuries of change. .

Long ago a block of marble v To that fair city yas borne,

Marble free from stain or flaw mark, Pnre as pearly cloud of morn ;

And the rulers sought a sculptor,Bade him carve a statue grand,

T hat it m ight adorn tha t city,F a ir as any in the land. ,

But the sculptor’s hand unskilful,M arred the beauty of the stone ;

I t was cast aside as worthless,L eft unheeded and alone ;

Covered o’er with dust and rubbish.V anished all its beauty ra re ;

So it lay—spoilt, ruined, wasted !Lay through many a weary year,

T ill a young and unknown sculptor, Passing by, with thoughtful brow,

Saw the stone, and said. “ An angel ' H ides within it even now,”“ Take the stone, and free the angel,”

Said the rulers, half in scorn.Many a day the artist labored,

U ntil one fa ir summer morn.

8. The said cattle moat be loaded at of shipment into clean and disin- I cars for transport to the United

States, and a ’certificate from the railroad int must accompany said cars showing t the same were duly cleaned and disin­

fected in the manner prescribed in the reg­ulations of the tJ. 8. Department of Agri­culture of February 18, 1893, entitled “ Regulations Concerning Cattle Trans­portation.”

4. All Canadian cattle entering the U nited States for exhibition a t the Colum­bian Exposition most be loaded and sh ip­ped in cars in which th e y can have proper food, w ater, space, and opportunity to rest, and said cattle are not to be unloaded un til they reach the Exposition grounds at Cni- cago, Illinois.

5.

Senator E d w a rd s D isconrces I'pon Its P reven tio n .

A special from Albany says: Senator Edw ards is greatly interested in the work of preventing the pollution of lakes and rivers. “ We have just put in Chautau­q ua,” said he, “ five miles of sewerage and an apparatus which disposes of the sewage. We could have had the sewage poured into the lake but that would have been a bad example fo r ' all tV resorts on Chautauqua, lake. I f all the sewage of the resorts was placed in the lake its water would soon be poisoned, the fishes would die, and everything would be spojjed. We preferred to erect disposal works. They are modeled on those lately erected in England to prevent the pollu­tion of rivers and lakes. At Chautanqua the sewage will all be conducted to one small building and there lime and cop­peras will be*poured into it. These chem­icals destroy eveythtng injurious ; aud by an apparatus which resembles a brick-m a­king machine the solid materia! of the sewage is pressed.into ‘cheeses.’ The wa­ter rem aining pours out from the house looking as clear as a mountain brook. I t is odorless and pure. The ‘cheeses’ can be used for fertilizing m aterial. 1 re­cently visited W orcester, Massachusetts, where they dispose of |3 ,000,000 gallons of sewage a day in this manner. I t prevents the pollution of jivera , and I should hope that it will eventually be fol­lowed at Utica, T roy, Albany and other cities along the Mohawk and Hndson riv-v ers. Lime and copperas are cheap, and it would not cost much to purify the sewage before its w ater is perm itted to enter stream or lake. In England, before this disposed system was adopted, there were streams so poisonous that men who hap­pened to fall in them were killed. Now these stream are again pure, and fishes can live in them. T he problem of parify ing sewage has been, in my opinion, solved by this system.”

—The regular monthly union service was held at the B aptist Church on Sunday evening, and was largely attended, every seat being filled. The &ermon was preach­ed by Rev. G. F . W oodbury, of R ipley, N . Y ., from I Cor. 13:13. T he subject was handled in a plain and forceable man­ner, so that every one present could not fail to understand what the speaker meant, and what we each owed to our F a th er and our fellowmen. A fter the meeting there was a conference of the members of the Baptist Church to consider the advisability of engaging M r. Brougher, of the Roches­ter Theological Sem inary, for four months. M r. Broughqr is highly recommended and we hope he may be engaged. A t this writing it looks as though he would come.

—On or about A pril 1st, the Nickel Plate will establish a new fast passenger service between Chicago and New Y ork. Three trains a day each way will be run, all of them the best W agner con­struction. They will run via the West Shore from Buffalo, although tne Lehigh Valley has been a strong com petitor for th* connecting line. Gne at least of the trains will be vestibuled, and will compete with other first-class lim ited trains by ma­k ing the distance in 26 hours. This train will leav? Chicago and New York about 3 p. m. T he other trains will leave at 8:30 a. m., and 11:30 p. m. The morning trains will run local to Cleveland and fast the rest of the way, while the night trains will reverse this process. The Nickel P late has just completed a handsome pas­senger station at Clark and Twelfth streets in Chicago, and will fit lip an elaborate city ticket office before April 1st.

—A few days ago a Polish boy was gath­ering coal on the L. S. & M. S. track near H olland street, when yard engine No. 423 came rapidly down the track, apparently unobserved by the youth, who was busily engaged picking up the dusky diamonds. Seeing the boy’s danger the engineer promptly reversed tbe engine, but not soon enough to save tbe lad from what seemed a horrible death. The engine strnck him, and throwing him passed entirely over the lad, before it was finally brought to a stand still. The trainm en looked back, expect­ing to find him mangled in a horrible m an­ner, but,were happily disappointed in this, as he had escaped without receiving a scratch. The boy pleaded for them to let him go and not have him arrested. This the engineer and firemen were *only too glad to do so, feeling that the narrow escape he had made was sufficient punish­ment for any misdemeanor he had com­mitted. Engine 423 is the only engine in the yard having a high fire box and this fact alone accounts for his miraculous escape — Erie Dispatch.

if assnred by scientific men that the world would come to an end w ithin the next twelve weeks? The long promised novel of Camille Flam m arion, “ Omega: The Last Days ot the W o rld ,” proves to be of thrilling interest. I t is the conception of one of the world’s most distinguished as­tronom ers, worked out w ithin the bounds of scientific possibility. W hile educating the reader in the most modern phase of scienee, it is as full of interesting sur- pris 8 as the A rabian N ights Fntertain- m ent. T he most inteiesting part of this wonderful novel is found in his descrip­tion of the trepidation and expectation into which the people of the w o rk '' are thrown. Im agine the condition o.: the stock exchange with a fact of snch im port­ance staring them in the face. T he opening chapters will be found in the A pril num ­ber of the Cosmopolitan magazine.

Probably no novel has ever been p re ­sented in an American magazine with such illustrations as accompany Flamma- rion’s “ Omega” whicn commences in the A pril Cosmopolitan. In the list of illus­trators are to be found the names of Jean P aul Laurens, Rochegrosse, Chovin, Vogel O. Saunier, G erardin and Meanlle.
