A simple Group Preventive.

Take a piece of black silk two or
three inches wide; sew it around
the child's neck, let him wear it
constantly, changing it when it be-
comes much worn and thin. Our
little one who WAS always subject
to the Group has never been trou-
bled in that way since we used the
silk, although many night he has
gone to his crib SO hoarse he could

On Saturday an aronaut of local
celebrity made a balloon ascension at
San Francisco with a young lady and
justice Of the peace, and when the
proper degree Of elevation was obtain.
ed, the two former were then and
there married in mid air. It is no
uncommon thing for persons to work
themselves into state of great exalt-
alton on such occasions, but it must be
confessed that marriage above the
clouds is the very, refinement Of bliss.
1t is pity that a groyclling magis-
trate was considered necessary to the
consummation Of the plan, and that
the two silly souls could not have

For the third time now Stokes has
had to face a jury impanneled to try
him for the murder, in the early, part
of 1872, of Jim Fisk. The first trial
resulted in disagreement Of the jury.
On the second trial Stokes was CON
victed Of murder in the FIRST degree,
and was thereupon sentenced to be
hung. Exceptions were taken to the
ruling of the presiding judge. stay of
proceedings was obtained from Judge
Davis, of the Supreme Court, and the
Court of Appeals granted a new trial.
That trial terminated last night in a
verdict Of manslaughter in the third
degree, and Stokes was thereupon
sentenced to Imprisonment in the pen

litical record is checkered one
Whom the war broke out he was
seized with q patriotic impulse, and,
under It's influence, did good service
to his country. But, in the Presi-
Dental Office, to which he was ele-

the nation in gloom, he fell under
the control Of the malign spirit of
the half quenched Rebellion. 3 From
that moment he became the antag
onist of a full restoration of peaces
from that moment every step he
took WAS false one, and he retired
from official life a disgraced man.
MIR. Johnson's long speech to his
friends at Washington was denun-
ciatory of the government, infdel
to the intelligence of the masses of
the people and the spirit of the
times, and reactionary in the ex-
treme. He sighed for that period
of our history when the Wing and
Democratic parties disputed with
each other as to which should be
most subservient to the Southern
oligarchy which finally plunged the
country into civil war. He asked
foolish guestions-foolish, because
based on false assumptions. For
instance, he queried: IF the Con.
stitntion is wiped out and Congress
is without restraint where are we!'
Assuming, then, the destruction OF
the Constitution, he declared, that

From r. a. Proctor's Boston Lecture.
We will next consider, continued
Mr.. Proctor, the suns light. This we
may compare with the oxy-hydrogen
light, which has but LAG of its in.
tensity, or with the electric light,
which is but one-third az intense.
The heat by sun is also comparable.
The estimates Of its total heat are very
variable, but that which it furnishes
TO the earth we are able to measure
and to arrive at exact results. Sir
John Herschel has found that the
heat which falls upon one square mile,
when the sun is in the zenith, is capa-
BILE of melting in one hour 5000 tons
of ice. There are 5O,OOO,OOO square
miles ON the surface which the sun
shines upon, and the heat which it
receives would be sufficient to raise
an ocean sixty-six miles deep from the
freezing to the boiling point. That
received by the earth is but a small
part Of the light emitted, for ~, 600
earths could be placed in the earth's
orbit: The planets receive only the
two hundred and twenty -seven mil
lionth part of it. What then becomes
of the rest? The stars, which are al
SO suns, are giving outa large amount
Of heat, only ajportion Of which falls
upon their planets. What becomes of
all this heat which is radiated iato
space? That is a question which is
yet unanswered. But to returnto the
sun. The heat which is actually CIV
en- out by one square yard isestimated
to be equal to that evolved BY six tons
Of coal burnt in one hour. The light
and heat of the sun travel at the same
rate, and probably the magnetic pow
er also, yet it takes eight minutes to
pass the space between US. IF the sun
gave out sound, and it undoubtedly
does give out sound, it would take
thirteen and one half years to bring II
to u.s. But there is strangely enough,
gap which it cannot pass. IF those

years would elapse before their petit
tions would have been heard, if il
would have been possible for the

he at once becomes interested and so
interests his hearers. He is an Eng

his rapid speech he seems to corr
mingle the plain Quaker language with
the accent Of both the Englishman
and the man from the north of Ire
land. But, while his voice is full and
rich, his earnestncss makes one forget
all but his words, his sound argu-
ments, his affecting stories. He Is an
eloquent man, according to our best
judgment, and while he Is in some re-
spects an enthusiast he is not one of
that kind who allow their impulses to
run away with Judgment. Most tenn
perance lecturers say things that are
harsh and Hat. He didn't. lie tells
the plain truth about whisky and God
knows that is bad enough. No one
needs to exaggerate its terrible rava-

q 'haw' for nearly one and a half
hours. The auditor did not apprcci-
ate the lapse of time and did not want
to go away when he had finished. In
his opening he spoke feelingly Of the
deplorable truth, the fact that the evil

is preached steadily and Sabbath

bar in his hotel, and was urged tc
abandon it by himself for the sake Of
his sons, when he saw one of those
sons of his friend in the spasms re:

indeed affecting. At several times
during the lecture many listeners were

Cyrus Wakefield. s
Who died suddenly at the age OF
sixty-two, on Sunday, in the Massar
chusetts town which bears his name,
was one of the men popular des-
cribed as self.made, in which our
country is SO prolific. Born in
Roxbury, N. H., o small interior
town, he went to Boston at an early
age, with no other capital than q
clear head and a common school
education He worked his way up
until he obtained a monopoly, of
the trade in rattan, and was made
rich by the sudden rise in the value
of that commodity at the beginning
of the war. He also imported other
East India goods. He manufacture
ed rattan as we'll as importing it.
He employed men by the Thousand,
and his legitimate profits reached
nearly one thousand dollars day.
He made South Reading, near Bos-
ton, the seat of his operations, and
did 80 much for the welfare of the
town that the people induced the
Legislature to change it's name to
Wakefield. He bought an immense
amount of real estate in Boston, az
well as in his place of residence
was one of the stockholders of the
Boston Globe; gave Harvard Col
lege 100000, and bought 27OG
shares of Boston & Maine Railroad
stock at cost of little less thar
$500, 900 that he might become one
of the Directors Of the road. Over
work told on him, and the panic
compelled him to pay high rate fo1
the money which his heavily mort
gaged real estate purchases and
large pay rolls compelled him tt
raise. 4 sudden stroke of apo
plexy ended his life. 1t is mo-
known whether it will net two o.
three millions. Had he lived t.
