Lcnoak Picnic.

The pupils of Lonoak Female Col
lege, accompanied by a number of
friends of the institution, went out to
Bedington on Saturday on a picnic
excursion. The morning opened mp
delightfully."- and the party went off
in high glee, and arrived at the
grounds in good time, and at once
set about enjoying themselves in the
freedom characteristic Of picnic hol-
idays. The beautiful grove was
made to ring with the merry voices
of the young people engaged in the
fascinating game Of croquet, which
was kept up until noon, when, with
sharpened appetites, all sat down to
an excellent and bountiful repast
spread forthe occasion. Dinner was
scarcely over when the entire party
were compelled To seek shelter in an
adjacent barn from the rain storm
which came up. about half past one
o'clock. The rain spoiled the after
noon pleasure in the grove, but not
withstanding, all enjoyed the day in
a high degree, and returned home ON
the evening train highly delighted
with the excursion. WhenneXt Lion
oak" goes pic-nicing may we be there
to see.

THE NEW HAPSHIRE TROU-
RLE.

The difficulty in the New Hamp-
shire legislature continues, but is
not likely to lead to bloodshed. The
House, which has a Republican
working majority of about a dozen,
has passed a resolution referring the
question of the disputed Senatorial
contest to the Supreme Court of the
State, which is constituted of three
judges, two of whom L democrats.
The question referred to them blythe
resolution of the House is as to the
right of the Governor and Council to
declare the two democrats, Priest
and Proctor, elected. The democrats
offered to refer the question, not of
the right of the canyassers to declare
these men elected, but of.the legality
of their election, to the court. The
distinction between these two propo-
sitions lies in the fact that adecision
upon the legality of the action of the
Governor and Council if adverse will
vitiate the proceedings already had,
by which the Democrats have secured
the organization, while a decision by
the court upon the legality of the
election of Messrs. Priest and Proc
tor would, if adverse, only have the
effect to unseat them, l%eavingthe or
~ganization as effected by their votes.

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. John Martin, Of this place, an
Engineer on the j. 81 O.. r.. r., had
d narrow escape from q horrible
death on Saturday night last. He
was coming up from Baltimore on
the fast freight, and, not being on
duty, took q bunk in the caboose and
went to sleep. The train stopped at
Harman for water, and while stand
ing Oh the track, the train following
came up under full bead, it being
down grade, and plunged into the
train taking water. The engine
struck the caboose in which Mr.. Mar
tin was sleeping, splitting it wide
open and passing the hoppers.H-
Mr.. Martin was thrown to one side
with the wreck, and when cxtricat-
cd presented q fearfnlly dilapidated
appearance. His clothes were torn
almost to shreds and stuck full Of
"slivers'' and splinters from the bro
ken car; he was covered with grease
and begrimmed with dirt and ashes
and blood. But singularly enough he
escaped without serious injury. He
received several painful bruisesabout
the face and head, and an ugly twist
in the shoulder, but his injuries will
not keep him off duty but a short
time. His watch, which was in his
vest pocket, was literally torn to
pieces ait scattered around. The en-
CINE which ran into the train was
thrown sideways off the track and
completely dismantled. 1t is said
the engineer was asleep, and his en-
CINE struck with an open throttle
Under the circumstances, Mr.. Mar
tin, who was the only person in the
caboose at the time, made a narrow
and fortunate escape.

Fresh Eggs.

An exchange processes to have
found out a convenient and satisfac-
tory way to keep eggs fresh. 1t is as
follows /:
"Take an old tin pail and punch
numerous holes in its bottom and
Sides, and after filing it with fresh
eggs, lower it into a kettle of melted
sallow, as hot it can be, without burn
ing ones fingers when thrust into it /;
then lift the pail out quickly, and if
the melted tallow will flow out, leay-
ing a thin coating on every egg. Re
move the eggs from the pail and pack
them on their ends in a keg or barrel {;
place In a cool cellar until wanted
for use. Eggs have been kept thus
more than six months, so fresh that
expert judges supposed they were
fresh. The eggs being somuch cold
er than the melted tallow, athin GOV.
ering of cold tallow will be formed
instantly, which viii render the shell
impervious to the air.

The Death Of George Laieyre.

Leaves have heir time to fall,
And flowers 10 with r at the North
winds breath.
And stars to set but all,
Thou hsss all eason for thine own,
O, death
The ending of life does not always
seem to be death. When the smile of
infancy is stilled, and the prattle of
early childhood hushed forever here,
this seemeth not death, but rather a
transfer from a lower to a higher
life. When, after the ''burden and
heat of the day." old age bids adieu
to earth and lieth down i'll the grave,
this, too, seemeth not death, but
rather the sleep of the tired and the
rest of the weary. But when the
fell destroyer, with a lightning stroke,
layeth hi s resistless hand upon bloom
ing, vigorous youth, buoyant with
the pride of present existence, and
exultant with the bright hopes ofthe
future, then does death e to be
real, and bringeth with it cruel sor-
row and the keen anguish that pene-
trates the very soul.
The death of George Lafevre has
caused a shock and stirred sympathy
rarely felt in a whole community. A
few days ago he was amongst us full
of life, vigor and promise, rejoicing
in his strength, Jealous in the dis
charge of his duties and looking for
ward tothe battle of life witha strong
heart and earnest purpose. But Prov
idence saw fit to permit this young
life to be blotted out. suddenly and
sharply, and his friends can but bow
with submissive awe before the dis
pensation, which is as overwhelming
as it is irrevocable. He was an ex-
emplary young man. Kindly in his
social and dutiful in his filial rela-
tions, respectful and polite III his in
tercourse with all. Grievous indeed
is the blow that, in his death, has
fallen not only upon those with
whom he was united by the ties Of
nature, but upon all whom he was
associated. Our sympathies go out
for the bruised hearts that throbbeC
with tender love for the departed
whilst in life, and that are filled will
bitter sorrow in his death.

REPUBLICAN, SLATER X.

nLf GDLIIIA OH Eli H..
The question of the abolitiono of sla-
very III Cuba is one that now agitates
all humanitarian circles in Christen-
dom. The infamous system offorced
labor has no hold now among civiliz-
ed nations-for we cannot, even CON
sidering the age and pristine power Of
the Castillians, consider them to be
civilized according to the recognized
code when they commit such inhu-
man butcheries as those perpetrated
in Cuba.
Slavery is not in keeping with the
progressive spirit of the age, and the
American nation especially has ar
rived at the conclusion that it ought
to be suppressed. 1t was THIS same
question as to the proprietT of the
emancipation of the dark-skinned
serfs who toiled in our vineyards and
cotton-6elds, that brought about the
terrible fratricidal strife that dis
membered for q period of four years
our country, wrecked our homes and
caused the ghouls Want and Devasta-
ton to encompass our States. Senior
Zulueta, as one ofthe representative
slave owners of Cuba seems to be grad
ually acquiring the idea that slavery
is incompatible with the progressive
spirit of the age and uncomfortable
with the principles of modern free
dom. But he adds q saving clause
he does not deem it advisable to rem
der to the miserable African serfs i'll
Cuba their freedom simultaneously.
He thinks that property owners
should be allowed flew years in which
to dispose to their best advantage of
their human chattels, andthatin the
course of time everybody resident in
the Pearl of the Antilles will be in
duced to recognize Sambo as a man
and a brother without the interfer-
ence Of the Exeter Hall p~hilanthro-
pists.
OF course as we glory i'll the knowl-
edge that we are free-born and I'M
trammelled by the bonds of serfdom,
we naturally feel very mnch disposed
to extend the pleasures of liberty to
all but we nevertheless think that
the rule of oppression, the crueltraf-
fc in human flesh, shonld be suppress
ed by the unanimous vote and sturdy
action Of all nations. The British ma
ton maintains at considerable cost a
fleet OF war vessels whose especial bus
mess it is to rescue unhappy negroes
from abduction. \ shaving vessels
considered a n pirate, and, no mat
ter what flag she flies, is a legal cap
ture whenever taken. But though
international law affords this protec-
ton to the deniZens Of "Afric's burn
ing sands it seems to have become
a recognized right that negroes once
landed on Cuban soil become mere
merchandise. Popular opinion put
down slavery in the British West In
dies, the innate love of liberty that
pulses the breast of everytrue Amer
lean, caused its suppression and ex-
termination in the United States and
the sweet and sturdy principles of
religion have taught all progressive
nations that the holding of fellow
men in bondage is an act abhorrent,
repulsive and impure.
