FRIDAY, MARCH Is, 1872.
The Granite state.

The Republicans of New Hampshire
have won a great battle. 1t is a glorious
triumph. They have set the ball in mo-
ton for Grant and victory. The people
are awake to the necessities of the hour,
remembering what it cost to gain the
situation and are not disposed to yield it.
The national issues were the only thing
prominent in the the battle, and it is
warning of thunder to the Senatorial
enemies Of President Grant. Their at
tacks reacted in favor Of the administra-
ton, and the people were not deceived
by their false accusations, The sophis-
isms Of the democracy did not lead them
astray, and they saw through the thin
disguise detecting tn" hypocritical aims
of Democratic leaders All hail New
Hampshire

Joseph yIszEiuI the italian Agi-
IatOr.

The King Of Italy has lost foe, and
the people a friend IN the death Of the
great reyolutionist Mazzini. A brief his
tory Of his life may he interesting to our
readers
Joseph Mazzini was born in Geneva,
on the 28th of June, 1903, and was 81
wears old at his death, which occurred
at Pis0 He has never been of robust
health, but his ambitious spirit was not
restrained by disease nor did pain pre-
vent his leading a life of remarkable ac-
tivity and adventure He was engaged
in many armed Instructions, beside
plots which he planned for others. He
passed but a small portion OF his man
hood life In Italy. But voluntary or
banish9d absence did not drive from his
heart 4 love for his native country.
Whether be wandered In France, or
was exied IN Switzerland, his thoughts
turned toward Italy, with constant
effort for her liberation and unity. Be
fore his death he saw her united, but
not free, and while he rejoiced in this
partial attainment, he would not assOci-
ate with the reigning government, for
the reason that it did not come up to his
ideal Of liberty and unity
His death removes a powerful oppo-
u8nt Of Victor Emanuel, while both Of
these individuals longed and labored for
italian unity, the one aimed to inaugur-
ate republic, tha other laborcL to ex-
tend his kingdom. Thus while they
labored to accomplish the same purpose
they were inspired by different motives
and adopted widely varient measures.
VI lzEini was an agitator and revolutions
ist Uo was innoculated with the liher-
al spirit Of age, and for more than four
decades had thrown his great mind into
every attempt to ovcrturn existing gov
arnments, both in his native country or
elsewhere in Europe. He was not a
fanatic but a bold cOnspirator, He
could not only destroy but could recon-
struct, aiming to build a better fabric
on the ruins Of the old He was far
above the level of the political fanatic,
becaus9 the loftiness of his principles
and his noble devotion to them raised
him to that position as was wonderfully
oxamplided in his leadership of repubIl-
can Rome after the revolution Of 1918.
He protected and preserved all old re-
ligious forms in opposition to the more
radical Of his adherents He had but a
little periot before his death, refused to
join the present International Society,
or rtOcOuntenanceits its insane doctrines. He
was one Of tho great agitators of modern
times, great In power and noble in
heart

DANGEROUS PLAYTHINGs IN CHURCH.
The New Berne North Carolina)
Courier says an accident occurred in the
Methodist church in that place, on Sun
day evening of last week, which brought
the services to a sudden close and created
much excitement. A young boy who
rejoiced in the possession of a pistol,
took it to church, and while seated in
the gallery look it out of his pocket, and
exhibited it to a companion. By some
means the pistol was accidentally dis
charged, and his companion, the elder
boy of the two, was shot in the side.
The ball struck rib and passed around
his body inf1icting a severe but not dam
gerous wound. The child was attended
by three physicians and is considered
out of danger.

Cutting !Of this city, the new church has been
erected, and is now nearly completed. The
building, which is 10 feet long by so wide, is of
wood, of the Swiss style of architecture, with
the beams and main tmbers showing upon the
outside. A graceful spire rises from the north
west corner of the building at the junction Of
Coral and Waverly streets, to height of 30 feet.
The roof which bears cross at either end, is
covered with slate, and surmounted by orna,
mental iron crestings. The building Is hand
some and neat in architectural appearance, and
admirably adapted for the purposes for which it
was designed. The main floor IS divided
into three rooms, the main audience room and
two class rooms, so arranged that they can be
thrown together by folding doors, and contain
Ing seating accommodations for about 500 peo-
pie. The building is nearly ready to plaster,
and it is confidently expected that it will be
completed and dedicated sometime in March
