BRITISH OFE1s1As.s TELLING SECRETS

BRITISH OFEIs1AIs TELLING SECRETS Just now there is somr trouble among British officials oa account of the disclos- nre.of state seret of great importance. The Gladstone government paid the re- spectable sum oi$S0. GOO for the exclusive secret of making the destructive @.fish"
 torpedo, doubtless intending that this new and terrihE instrument of naval war fare should be q1ietiy kept out of public view, as BismaNk kept back the needle gun which wonthe victories in the Aus tria-Prussian WIT of 1866. When ''dis- tinguished forelners' were admitted and permitted to go through the constructive departments at Foolwich, they were not allowed to see he ''fish" torpedo, and mention of it in conversation was avoided or tabooed. Fey but the persons en- trusted with the making of this enGlne of wholesale slaugEer of men and destruc- ton ot ships knw anything of its princi- pie. Nevertheless the secret has oozed out, for the Gen nan admirality has paid
 a largesprice font to an Englishman who claimed to be th inventor. When Elm peror William 8s at Kiel, the other day,
 at the launch ofhe formidable ironclad Frederlck the Geat, he was so anxious to see the capabilities of the ''fsh'' torpedo fully tested tha hn experiment, the sue cess of which m1ch exceeded expectation, was made undeihis own eye. In Prussia the secret is sail to have been entrusted only to one ofidr and to the chief of en- glneering department The authorities in England disbelkve the idea that the'sfish' torpedo was in9nted twice, and are per-
 suaded that soI D treachery at Woolwich
 has betrayed tl secret for which the Gladstone administration paid so largely.

The professional clubs will now play exhibition games every fine day and the leading amateurs will play championship games up to the regular close of the sea- son, November 26. Thanksgiving day.
 Considerable excitement has been caused about South NorWalk on account of a peculiar and fatal illness breaking out Tn the large boarding house recently occu- pied by Mir. Turney Buckley. Nearly every member of the family has been more or less afflicted. Mrs. Buckley died some little time since, and on Friday last Mr. Buckley died, while daughter, until her illness teacher in the Center District school. l.--now lies dangerously ill. The case has developed the fact that @ loose, porous, gravelly soil has allowed g Alteration from the kitchen cess-pool into the well, from which water for the family was used. Then the drippings from a large refrigerator in the cellar. which was permitted to dampen the entire bottom as the ice melted, no doubt caused vitiated atmosphere which increased the terrible scourge. This seems proven by the fact that only those who slept on the ground floor have been serously affected. It is too late to repair the fatal results in this case, but it should serve as a warning to all our people to exercise the most rigid sanitary measures with reference to drain age, because of the porous nature of our soil Too much care cannot be taken about cleanliness generally now that so over the country.

A DAY AT NIAGARA.
BY MARK TWAIN.

Niagara Falls is one of the finest
structures in the known world.
have been visiting this fayorite water
ing-place recently, for the first time
and was well pleased. A gentleman
who was with me said it was custom.
ary to be disappointed in the Falls
but that subsequent visits were sure
to set that all right. He said IL was
so with him. He said that the first
time he went the hack fares were SC
much higher than the Falls, that the
Falls appeared insignificant. But
that is all regulated now. The hack
men have been tanned, numbered, and
placarded, and blackguarded, and
brought into subjection to the law,
and dOsed with moral principles till
they are as meek as missiona-
ries. They are divided into two
clans, now the Regulars and now the
privateers, and they employ their idle
time in warning the public against
each other. The Regulars are under
the hotel banners, and do the legiti-
mate at two dollars an hour, and the
Privateers prowl darkly on neutral
ground and pick off stragglers at
half price. But there are no more
outrages and extortions. That sort
of thing cured itself. 1t made the
Falls unpopular by getting into the
newspapers; and whenever a public
evil achieves that sort of success for
itself its days are numbered. 1t be-
came apparent that either the Falls
had to be discontinued, or the hack
men had to subside. They could not
dam the Falls, and so they did the
hackmen. One can be comfortable
and happy there now.
| drank up most of the American
Fall before learned that the waters
were not considered medicinal. Why
are people left in ignorance that way?
l might have gone on and ruined a
fine property, merely for want of a
little trifing information. And vet
the sources of information at Niagara
Falls are not meagre. You are some
times in doubt there about what YOU
ought to do, but you are seldom in
doubt about what you must not do.
No, the signs keep you posted. If
an infant can read, that infant is
measureably safe at Niagara Falls.
In your room at the hotel you will
find your course marked out for you
in the most convenient way, by means
of placards on the wall like these:
"Pull the bell rope gently, but don't
jerk"
'tBolt your door,"
"Turn off your gas when you re-
tire
"Tie up your dog"
"If you place your boots outside
the door they will be blacked, but the
house will not be responsible for their
return"
(This is a confusing and tangle-
some proposition, because it moves
you to deliberate long and painfully
as to whether it will really be an OBJ
jeet to you to have your boots black
ed unless they are returned.
"Give your key to the omnibus
driver, if you forget and carry it of
with you"
Outside the hotel, whenever you
wander, you are intelligently assisted
by the signs. You cannot come to
grief as long as you are in YOU
right mind. But the difficulty is tt
stag in your right mind with so muel
instruction to keep track Of For in

"Keep off the grass"
"Don't climb the trees"

COMMENCE EARLY.-The training of
children must begin at the very era
die to be thorough. The saying that
man is a bundle of habits is as true
of babies, as it is of grown children.
If an infant is accustomed from it's
birth to sleep from six o'clock at
night until daylight, the habit of
early sleep will be formed, and the
mother may have all her evenings to
herself. If the baby sleeps all night,
"a long morning nap will naturally
come about dinner time, after which
the child, except when very young
should be kept awake until SIX
o'clock. Perseverance in this routine
will soon result in securing qule'
evenings for both the child and pa
rent Some mothers have long sea-
son every morning and every night
in getting the baby to sleep. They
rock them and sing to them till Nor
nbeus enfolds them. With most chill
dren this is entirely unnecessary.
An infant can be accustomed, by a
few DAYS training, to goto sleep itself
for morning nap as we'll as for the
longer rest at night.

A Change of the Moon.


| A plain, clever man is my neighbo
Gray,
And we often take counsel together;
He lives in farmhouse over the way,
And is wise in respect to the weather
He watches all signs, night, morning
| and noon,
But pins his great faith on change in
the moon.
In the dull, drizzly May, when the
signs were all bad,
And day after dayit kept raining;
When the farmers were sad, and the
women were mad,
And all the wide world was complain
ing;
Farmer Gray went on piping the very
same tune:
'sIt will never clear off till change of
the mOOn."
admire his great faith, for the east
wind blew strong
From icebergs and isles of the ocean /:
The moon had changed thrice, while the
storm kept along.
But my neighbor still stuck to his no
ton;
At length it cleared up, near the COM
ing of June,
Two days and half from a change of
the moon!
In the long summer drOuth, when the
spring had run dry,
Not sign of rain cloud appearing,
Neighbor GRAY, who knew tile where
fore and why,
C,oolya ont an6 his apaantc were cheer
ing:
eWe are bound to have different wealth
er soon,
For tomorrow, you know, there's
change of the moon."
sit by his fire, on sharp winter night,
When the glass below zero is ranging;
My neighbOr instructs me with honest
delight,
(For his faith in the moon is unchang-
ing,)
That thaw will set in by Saturday
noon,
For just at that time comes a change OF
the moon.
Heat and cold, wet and dry, or whatever
the grief,
Under which our poor earth may be
lying,
GRAY knows the source whence
must come our relief;
No use of this groaning and signing;
He tells all he meets that change will
come soon:
'sWe must wait, my dear friends, till a
change of the moon."
He cares not iot for the college or
school,
And passes their dOings unheeded;
Still he holds by the old philosophical
rule,
To name no more causes than needed;
And as one is enough, the rest let us
prune,
And make all things proceed from a
change of the moon.
