In the four tests proceeding the exhibition

One 6vs-inch stream 250.5 feet.
The distance thrown BY the horizontal
four-inch stream, was Of course, immediate
" obtained by actual measurement. The
465 feet represent not the distance to which
spray vas thrown, but the distance to which
the body Of the stream extended, or in other
words the point where it fell WA at that
great distance from the stand-pipe; for the
spray certainly fell to distance of $50 feet
farther, SO that the street was vet down from

a yile In Thirty Two Seconds.

The following story Of the achievement in
respect to speed in an ice-bOst on the Hud-
son in the vicinity OF Staitsburg last week is
told by the Poughkcesie Eogte: "Thursday
last the wind blew very freeh from the south,
and the owner Of the ice-boat Cyclone de-

opportunity fer timing his yacht. The Hud-
son at this point is very wide, and at the

a xERMOM Oh SEA NDAL

Below We publish q short story, which Is
trile enough to be called a sermon. 1t will
bear reading and reflection:
The story is told Of a woman who freely
used her tongue to the scandal of Others,
and made q confession to the priest CT what
she had done. He gave her a ripe thistle
top. and told her to 90 out in various direc-
tions and scatter the seeds one by one. Won.
dering at the penance. she obeyed, and then
returned and told her confessor. To her
amazement, he babe her go back and gather
the scattered seeds; and when she objected
that it would be impossible, he replied that
il woulI be still more difficult to gather
up and destroy all the evil reports which
she had circulated about others. Any
thoughtless. careless child can scatter a
handail of thistle seed before the wind in q
moment, but the strongest and wisest men
cannot gather them again.

The Gazette by way of explanation offers
the following:

to uncover their iniduity, perFe'rated in the
very darkest days OF the war, would result,
az he feared, in destroying the confidence OF
the people.
Just in the darkest days of the whole war
these men had been pressing their diabolical
schemes. The defeat at Charlottesville had
enabled Lee to invade the North. Nallandig-
ham was exciting rebellion from the Canada
border. There were peace flgs living in the
North; there was resistance TO the dEait IN
Ohio and Indiana, and in the latter state the
Sous of Liberty were planning an outbreak
There was great gloom everywhere, and 1t

agents of the government and some oil Ill
most prominent political supporters had
been in such league for plurder. during
the darkest days of the war. And so he
strove to cover the most startling points
from the public eye. And so the court was

commanding General, wsS obliged to leave

following:
