The Herald says, an interesting bit of
secret history connected with the
French expedition has just leaked out.
1t appears that while our Government
was declared to be openly opposed to the
French invasion, it was secretly fur
nishing aid by supplying the French
army with mules, to enable them to
carry their military baggage to the in
terror. This was done through Secre-
tary Seward, who authorized General
Butler to supply the French with all
the mules they required.

DEATH OF PLINY HI. WHITE.-We re-
greet to announce the death of the Rev.
Pliny II. White, which event took
place at his residence in Coventry last
Saturday, of paralysis of the brain. The
Barton Standard says: Ever since
he came to this county he has been one
of our firmest friends and supper .ers,
and our paper has oftentimes had the
benefit of his fertile pen, which the
community as we'll as ourself valued
highly. He was remarkable man,
both in the extent of his knowledge
and the readiness with which he could
apply it on all occasions. He was a
walking encyclopedia of historical facts
and dates, and it will be long time be-
fore Vermont can furnish his equal in
this particular. He was q warm and
genial friend, temperance man of the
strictest sect, and, as we believe, con
sistent christian, and the church and
people of Coventry have suffered grea
loss in his death. His remains have
been taken to Westminster for burial.

To Make Home Hap nv.

To make home truly happy, there should be no
concealments; that is the cank er-worm. Let wo-
man tell her troubles and follies freely to her hus
band, and he will assist her out Of them. He is her
other self, not her judge and master. If man con-
de in his wife, her penetration and quick wit will
often see things that escaped him. We are in the
world all day-our minds are occupied by many de-
tails: but she safe home, often alone with but
infant companion; she thinks what you have
told her, and it in many lights; she has had the
time you wanted. The discovery that there has been
secret excites jealousy, and loosens the ties of
affection, either side. Without perfect and entire
confidence, married happiness is seldom lasting.

Economy of Welles.

When that excellent gentleman, the hon. dideon
W els retired from the government of the Navy, ne
was a good deal bothered about the expense OF NOV
ing his furniture and baggage back to Hartford. The
franking privilege not being quite elastic enough to
cover his case he permitted to take one OF the
Government vessels. Who permitted him-whether
he did it himself, his successor-we are not IN
formed but the vessel was loaded and of the gallant
old salt sailed for the Connecticut River When he
got there he found that vessels drawing more than
six feet of water could not get into the Connec-
ticut River, whereas his drew eleven! Mr. Wells
had never been much astonished in his life. His
chargin was only equaled by the Vicar of " arke-
fields when that delightful person found that he had
ordered portrait big that he could not get 1t into
the house. The result of il all that Mr.. Weiies
had go beating along the coast until he found wa
ter enough at New London to float his goods, and
thence he sent them home by rail- at Just double the
cost of shipping them fromW Washngton in the regular
way. 1t may seem rather singular that a gentleman
who bad been eight years Secret ary of the Navy
should not know something about the depth Of water
on Saybrook bar, and still more singular that he
should send a vessel on voyage without inquiring
whether she could possibly get into her port OF des-
tination. But then Mr.. Wees always was a very
remark able MANI Y. Tribune.

AN INCIDENT OF THE SHOW RIJSI
NESS.

Onr readers will not have forgotten the account pub
who was being wintered in the village of Hartbor-
ough, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, killing his
keeper, Mr.. Williams. The elephant was chained BY
his two fore feet at the time and in that condition
has remained ever since. He would allow no one to
70 near him, and completely demolished everything
within reach of his huge trunk. Mr. Forepaugh, his
owner, being anxious to start on his summer tour,
and wishing to make Romeo of the features Of
the show, was at loss to know how t0 bring the
huge monster to terms. He, however, secured the
services of Mr.. Stuart Crayen, who had charge of
Romeo before coming to America, and for six years
after that event. Some time ago Mr.. Craven accom-.
panied by large number of men proceeded to Hart
borough. They took with them ropes tackle chains
etc., with which to fasten the terrible beast bring
him to terms. Upon Mr.. Craven entering the sta BILE
OF Romeo, he Immediately recognized his old keeper
and became frantic with rage After great deal of
labor they succeeded in getting lasso around his
hind leg, and finally threw him down and encom-
passed his body with chains, they commenced tor
turing him with ptchforks clubs and other devices
All that and the next day they were thus employed
but still the huge beast would not succomb. About
nine O'Clock the third day he yielded and cried for
mercy. sThis is made known by plantiye cry which
is fully understood by those familiar with the habits
of the animal He was then Immediately uncbain-
ed and taken to the city of Philadephia without diff
fculty.

LET Your WEE KNOW Your C1RcuM>
srANcEs.-It is custom too common
with the men Of the world TO keep their
families in utter ignorance of the situa-
tion of their business. The wife knows
nOthing-has not even an idea of the
amount Of her husbands fortune, wheth-
er it is to be counted by hundreds or
thousands. What can woman, kept
in such ignorance learn She spends,
as matter Of course, all he gives her to
spend, with the full confidence that when
that is gone, and she asks for it, he will
give her more.
II an unmarried woman works, she
may go with bold, unblushing face,
and demand her wages but wife can
demand nothing, her claim is for bare
necessity; and generous men, on that
account, are often too indulgent, too
fearful of letting wife know the exact
state of their finances. 'Tis all wrong.
Husband and wife have mutual in
terest; every woman should know the
exact state of his finances, understand
his plans, and aid him if possible, with
her counsels, and then these terrible
catastrophes would not SO often happen.
Many a wife who is plunging her hus-
band deeper and deeper into debt from
ignorance, would, if she knew his en-
barrassmerts, be the first to retrench,
the first to save, and with true womanly
sympathy and generosity, help him to
reinstate his falling fortunes.

A Remarkable Revival.
RICHMOND. Ind. April 20. ]

RICHMOND, Ind, April 20, 1869.
Nessrs. Editors:-The most powerful
revival we have ever experienced is now
shaking our city to its very centre.
Some few months ago, the. Methodists
dedicated a new house Of worship;called
Grace church; and Immediately began Q
series of protracted meetings. For
long time they seemed barren of results.
In the language of their pastor they
were forty DAYS in the wilderness, sur
rounded by temptations.' Gradually,
however, the interest of the community
WAS excited; the meetings grew larger
and penitent sinners began to ask the
prayers of Christians in their behalf.
The prayers were sent up to the mer-
cy. seat and they were answered, and are
still being answered in an almost mirac-
ulous manner. The church is crowded
every night, and almost tsco hundred have
been brought within its folds.
Nor has the good work stopped here
The revival spirit has spread not only to
the other Methodist, but also to the
Presbyterian, Baptist, aad Quaker
churches.
Some three weeks ago, evening meet
ings were commenced in the First Pres
byterian church, and have been kept up
with unabated ardor ever since. Nine
teen have been received by the Session,
and it is believed that many others are
about ready to come over to the Lords
sike. SIT
In the meeting house Of the Orthodox
Friends, evening meetings are held, in
which hymns are sung, prayers are Of
fered up, experiences related, and many
sinners induced to accept Christ.
All denominational walls are, for the
time. broken down; Christians Of every
creed have united and are working to-
gether for the advancement of Christ's
kingdom, and in the came meeting one
may hear exhortations and prayers from
Episcopalians, Methodists, Prssbyteri-
ans and Friends. saefa e4f
The North Indiana M. E. Conference
has been in session here for some DAYS
past, Bishop Simpson presiding. On
Sabbath, the Bishop preached in the
Pearl street church, and several of the
other pulpits in the city were filed by
ministers attending the Conference.
Every night the various churches are
crowded, and religion is the common
topic Of conversation amongst all clas-
ses. In the language of an enthusiastic
divine: sAll Richmond is afire, and the
people instead Of putting ont the flames,
are constantly heaping on fresh fuel

LiYingstone.

The London Times publishes the following letter
from Roderick J. Murchison:
SIs: The intelligence from the Cape Of Good Hope
which has appeared in "The Times" and other news
apers that DR.. Livingstone had arrived at Zanzibar
in January and had proceeded homeward is, regret
state, entirely contradcted by information which
possess. have letter from DIR. Kirk at Zanzi-
bar dated the 5h of March last, and at that time
Whatever respecting the great traveller had been
received for . long p,riod. Judging from his
letters Of December =, 1857, aud also from the in
&elligence derived fi,q. Arab traders, I was last
year led to believe tbs he proceeding along the
eastern shore Of the La'e Tanganyika, and that at
the place called Uja he would meet with provisions,
medicine, and letters, which sent thither from
Zanzibar. But this view can no longer be enter
tained, for Or Kirk informs that ivory traders
have recently arrived from the very region in ques-
ton, and had heard nothing of him.
In this dilemma, may suggest the following hy-
pothetical explanation: If Livingstone, when At the
southernend Of the Lake Tanganyika satisfied him.
self that its waters shout 800 feet above tho
sea, as stated by Burton and Speke, he would nec-
essary infer that th could not flow northward into
the much higher equatorial lakes.
In this case he would abandon the northern route,
in which it was supposed he might find the waters of
the Tanganyika owing into the Albert Nyanxa of
IAUQAn-
yika was fed by rivers flowing from the south and
the east would be evident under these crcumstan
that this vast body of fresh water $500 miles In
lengthy must find its way to the west and would then
follow the river or rivers which issue the west
coast of Africa. Under this supposition he may be
first heard of from those ON the Congo.
II this view be entertained, cannot be expected
to hear of Livingstone for time to come As the
stance he would have TO traverse is vast and the
region unknown.
Again, this hypothesis explains why no intelli
gence VIII atever respecting him has been received
ut Zar zibar; inasmuch he has been travelling
through a vast country, the Inhabitants of which
have no communication with the eastern coast
While, however, correct the erroneous intelli-
gence which has just appeared, beg your readers
to understand that still entert ain well-founded
hope that my distinguished frend-thanks to his iron
frame and undying energy-will issue from Africa
on the same shore at which, after a long absence he
reappeared after his first great traverse of Southern
Africa.

Death on the Rail.

One of the passengers on the Long
Island Railroad, in the awful disaster Of
last week, who was in the car where so
many were torn to pieces, describes the
death of Mr. Rushmore. the Bank Pres
ident, and lady who was with him, in
these words:
/ guess it must have been about three
minutes after we started, when all at
once there was a bang! bang! kind of n
noise up at the front end of the car,
which jumped up and down, and twisted
and strained from side to side, as though
it was off the track Then there was an
awful, tearing sound, and the front truck
seemed turned on its side, and the
wheels came ripping through the floor,
scraping it off, smashing all the seats,
and scattering chips and splinters allover
This all happennd in a minute there
was no time to think. The passengers
all, except two or three who, like myself,
clung to the top of the car, were thrown
down some were stunned, / think, by
the flying fragments. Then the truck
came grinding and splintering the floor,
until it reached the middle Of the car,
where it seemed stopped by stronger
wood work. First of all, the lady, who
was talking with Mr.. Rushmore, fell
down on the wheels and was hurled over
and over she came up twice; I think
she was killed outright. Mr.. Rushmore
first was caught by his legs, when the
truck stopped minute in the middle of
the car he was wedged in; 1 never
can forget how he looked there was
splinter jammed in his cheek close to
the eye, but / could see that ne was
moving his lips; there was too much
noise to hear anything except shrieks
and groans, but he threw up one hand
and turned up his eyes and could see
he was praying; I only heard one word,
it was "Jesus." The next second the
truck crushed him down; the car got
loose, thousands of splinters flew all
over me like needles, sticking in me
there was numbness in my head, and I
knew no more until was pulled out
from under the wreck
Such awful scenes ought to harrow
the souls of those who have the man>
agement of our railroads and leave them
in such condition as to make these acci>
dents impossible!

Birds VS.. Fruit.

We often see inquiries in our agricultural exchang-
es, as to the best means Of preventing birds from
destroying fruit. The answers to this inquiry are
almost various tie birds, and most OF them as
difficult to apply the birds are to catch.
The most effective plan ever tried was,by killing,
ourself, or hiring some boys to kill, number of
Chicken or Sparrow Hawks, skin and stuff them then
place them the tops of some OF the trees in the
orchard. But few birds would attack the fruit in
orchard with such apparent enemies to meet. The
stuffed Hawks can be preserved for years by being
carefully put away after the fruit is gathered. Try
it.-Ex.
