One of the most difficult undertakings
connected with the widening of fremont
street, Boston, is the moving back of
Hotel Pelham, large freestone build
ing. The entire basement has been laid
bare, the foundations slightly raised,
aud large numbers Of small iron rollers
inserted beneath them. These rollers
will move upon stout foundation wall,
with straps Of iron bound to its top. The
moving force is some sixty or seventy
jack-screws, turned by human power,
aud capable of moving ten hundred thou
sand tons, which is the weight of the
building. At noon on Saturday the
building had been moved nineteen inches,
the length of the screws. The rollers
have to be arranged every two inches

A Domestic Romance ConcI.ded.

From the Concord IN. H. Patriot. Aug. 49,
In our daily of the 18th ult. We gave
the history of romance in real life,
whose main facts it may be well 10 re-
count The father of Rev. I. B. Eastman,
Of this city, left Concord in 1919, to bet.
ter himself in Massachusetts,. He left q
wife aud three children behind, and
finally went on whaling voyage. On
bis return, the family had left the city,
aud no trace of then was to be found.
Fifty years passed away, the first family
had grown up, and Mr.. Eastman, igno.
rant of their existence, had married
again and raised another family. By an
accident, Rev. Mr.. Eastman ascertained
that his father was living, and following
up the trace, found and introduced him
self to him, and told the story of the past
half century, so far as be knew it.
On the 18Th the aged wife, with two Of
her descendants, arrived in this city from
Nashua, aud vent to the house of her son,
where ell but one of her family now living
we're gathered. The husband entered the
room, and they looked at each other in
silence for moment. The old lady was
the frstto speak, saying lis this Sam
nel Eastman, @y husband ? " And
my long-lost wifel" be added, and they
rushed to each others arms, and kissed
with all the ardor OF sweet sixteen, BY
request of the father prayer Of thanks
giving was offered over the happy reunion
By Rev. T. Is. Eastman.
The old couple are now united, and,
though the bloom of youth has fed, both
enjoy excellent health aud spirits. The
old gentleman's eyesight is defective,
owing to straining it at sea, but he says
he oan throw hsrpoou or lance at
whale as we'll as ever. he has never had
a doctor in his life. The old lady il also
in excellent health, but with Impaired
hearing. To both We wish years of con-
tinued health and renewed happiness.

cate the truth Of history, but to hold up
Mrs. Stowe, as she deserves to be made,
conspicuous for unwomanly greed for
money, to satisfy which she rakes up
from the dead past quarrel between
husband and wife which can never re-
ceive any further elucidation which in
its examination can do no possible good
and in regard to which she is as careless
of the truth as she is regardless of
modesty, morality or the responsibility of
writer who possesses the public eye.
Does she claim TO be an historian? She
misstates facts. Does she write in behalf
of female honor and virtue2 She rakes
up story, which otherwise would never
have come to the knowledge of one in ten
thousand of the rising generation Of
girls, and which is better they should
never inquire into; and she hopes to aid
one sister by accusing, without evidence,
another of acts 80 abominable that in
other, if not purer times, they were not
80 much as named among Christians.
On the whole, we are inclined to con-
slider this article as "smart advertising
dodge" 1t will cause Mrs. Stoves name
to be paraded in all the papers, and of
course give a wider circulation to what
ever she may write, and, in consequence,
put more money in her purse. Arabella
Churchill, whose features were very
plain, sought in vain for long time to
interest the Duke of York; fortunately
for her purpose, a fall from her. horse
disclosed legs of such admirable proper
tions that the Duke succumbad at once.
What was accident In the case of Miss
Churchill is done of act, purpose, and
with aggravations by Mrs. Stowe; she
makes her fee by not merely exposing,
but by invsnting the shame of woman
who cannot answer from the grave the
hideous, and false as hideous, accusation.

Grain Transportation Routes.

The Chicago Journal, discussing the
freight question, makes this statement:
"a st. Louis barge holding ninety car
oads of wheat can be taken to New Or
eans, and there transferred and taken to
Liverpool, for less money than one grain
rain of thirty cars can he taken to New
Yerk, and for less than the same amount
aould be transferred by lake, canal and
liver. If the danger Of damage, by heat
ing especially, were no greater by the
southern than by the overland route, then
the entire surplus grain of the Mississippi
valley would eventually, and at no distant
day either. take the former route"
The Chicago papers are beginning to
tell the truth, and there may be hope that
they will soon arrive at the fullness of the
habit. Ninety car loads of wheat can be
taken down the Mississippi river to New
Orleans and thence to Liverpool, for less
money than thirty cars can be taken to
New York by the Chicago route. But the
Journal brings up the old objection that
the grain will heat in passing the gulf
Recent developments show that it will
heat in passing through Chicago elevators.
We know this objection has been made to
the river route. To prove that it is false
is the purpose of the present movement
for river transportation. If the Mohawk's
cargo arrives in New York or Liverpool
safely, some other may, and if another,
still another. By the showing Of the
Chicago newspapers, there is more rotten
grain in the elevators of that city than was
ever seen in the passage of the gulf

SPIRIT PHoToGRApHY.-The Muscatine
(Iowa) Journal publishes the results Of one
of the efforts of the photographers of that
city, which represents ghostly object
standing by the side of subject of flesh
and blood. The modus operandi is said to
be as follows:
Place the subject in the usual position.
Prepare the plate in the usual way. Take
an impression. Take the plate into the
dark room and Immediately change it from
the holder to another that belongs to a
camera, which you will have ready in the
dark room. Place your "ghost' in any po-
sition which may suit your fancy. Then
take another impression on the same plate,
either at the side of or before your picture,
giving it about half the length of time that
is required for distinct picture, which
will give the image shadowy, transpa-
rent appearance, resembling an imaginary
ghost or spirit. This is the whole process
of spirit photography in nutshell.

SAGAc1TY OF DoG.-A child about five
years of age, daughter of James Parsons,
who lives in the vicinity of little Sodus,
N. Y, last week fell into well, and was
rescued from drowning by a spaniel be-
longing to Mr.. Parsons, which had always
shown great affection for the child. The
we'll is about twenty feet deep, and at the
time of the accident contained about ff-
teen feet of water. The curb was low,
and the child leaned over and fell in. A
man who was passing along the road, some
distance from the well, heard the peculiar
cries from the dog, who was running
frantically around the WELL The man got
upon the fence, and saw the animal jump
into the well. He then ran to the spot
and saw the child upheld by the dog.
Both were Immediately rescued, although
the little girl was at first supposed to be
dead. She was resuscitated with a good
deal of difficulty, and is now all right.
