! The Erie Dispatch says: The
glory of one Of the chief points of
interest in the hsrboI Of Erie-that
which hung around the place hallow-
ed by the remnants OF Perry's vieto-
rious flagship, the Lawrence, has
departed. Her remains have been
lifted from their quiet resting place
under the waves of Misery Bay,
aRd carried shorewards to the edge
of the peninsula, bringing to view
the historical relic.
The removal is looked upon with
disfayor by the majority of our eiti-
zens, and it is not to be wondered at,
as the Lawrence had been lying there
80 long that she was accounted pub
lie property, and in the summer time
was visited by hosts Of strangers
the frame work on one side being
visible-to whom, as well as to our
own citizens, it was an object of the
greatest interest.
The remains are queer looking
mass. The port side has been cut
down nearl ' 10 the keel, planklng
having been torn off and ribs sawed
off by those who thought it no harm
to steal pi, ce Of wood of the Law
renee, and this has been kept up un-
I'll at least a third Of her bottom has
gone. The Lawrence lay on her
starbOard side, and that side is there

beams, upper works all gone years
ago), and the timber is, in general,
sound and in good condition, bat is a
purplish black, the result Of the reae-
ton of the water
The Lawrence was built in 1918,
herself aud the Niagara being COM
pIeted snd ready for service in four
months. The keels Of both vessels
were laid by Captain Daniel Dob
bins, but the boats were built by
Noah Brown, aud the Lawrence was
launched June %, 1918, and the Nj
agara on July ith, Of the same year
What they did are matters Of history
that viii never be forgotten OF the
twenty-seven killed on the American
side in the battle with the British feet,
TWENTY-FIVE were on board the Law
renee, and the proportion Of the
wounded was equally great After
the battle she was brought here, and
in 1914 she was fitted out to attack
the forts at Mackinaw, but she was
unsuccessful, and in 1915 she was
sunk, and there has remained ever
since.
She was about 100 feet long, 2s
feet beam, and feet depth of hold.
Her bulwaTks were high, and she
was lily fitted for other than a war
vessel, and accomplished Der mis-
sion.
The old boat was visited yesterday
by many hundred visitors, and We

boat. Among the visitors were relic

wheat After Potatoes.

There Is no better fallow crop for
wheat than potatoes, especially on
strong, heavy soil. The thorough
cultivation needed for potatoes leaves
the ground in excellent tilth, and on
" light plow is needed, il the pota-
toes were planted in sod that is usu-
ally well rotted by fall, and is turned
to the surface where most needed for
the young wheat plants. The OBJ
jections TO wheat after potatoes are
the difficulty Of getting the crop of
in time for sowing. With the old
fashioned peaehblow it was practiea-
bly, impossibly; but the early rose in
augurated a new era in farming. l
know several men, and :he shrewd-
est Of farmers, who makea practice
of planting three to Eve acres Of
early rose to be followed by wheat.
Planted very early on clover sod, the
crop is marketed early, much Of 1t
selling for the fancy prices generally
paid in most markets for new pota-
toes. There Is, then whole month
for pIowing and preparing the ground
Even when planted later, there Is
usually time to get early rose off soon
enough for wheat sowing. And later
planted early rose usually yield bet
ter than those got in early.
A year ago this fall a neighbor
marketed three acres Of early rose,
100 barrels, at sL5O per barrel. This
gaze a gross amount Of $50 per acre,
beside some small potatoes for seed
and feeding. The ground was sOA n
to wheat, and the yield this year Is
2s bushels per acre. There is an ex-
cellent catch Of clover, as | have no.
tieed there always IS on potato ground
OF course the land was rich, but it
does not pay to work a"y other. Two
such crops as those bave cited will
pay for a good deal of manure. TIE
exhaustion Of the soil, | am confident,
is less than it would have been If the
potatoes bad been followed By oats
and that BY wheat. The wheat crop
is fully as good as if the potato
ground had be5n summer fsllOwed
the next season and then sOwn- The
great advantage Of sowing wheat af-
ter early potatoes, or corn, is that II
enables the farmer to keep his land
in Glove: with only :wo years crop
ping instead Of three.-CouIttry Cen

CIV. tn. Girl. i. chance.

The only fair way foF parents to
bring up their children is to give the
girls an equal show with the boys.
We mean 10 educate them as they do
the boys, aod prepare them in Ike
manner in all respects 70 rely upon
and support themselves. This is the
onlv true solution Of the much vexed
question Of womsn's rights The
strong tendency Of t5e age Is to re-
move all the disabilities, social as
well as legal, which have hitherto
prevented women from competing
successfully with men in all the diff
erent professions and industries. A
girl. therefore, should be brought up
in accordance with this spirit. taught
that It's or herself she should rely,
on reaching thst age at which boys
strike out into the world; and not
lean helpIessly upon father or mother,
waiting for that future model hus-
band who is TO come some day to
provide her with "an establishment"
A woman must make, in our opin-
ion, better wife and better mother
for being educated to be selfreliant
and selfdependent. Then, parents,
look TO il that your girls are thus ec-
ueated; and then, when you are fore
ed to leave them, you viii feel the
comforting assurance that whatever
happens, married or single, they have
the ability to support themselves,
and are not liable to be thrown on
the charity Of cold world.

WHY SHE STOPPED Her PAPER-
She came bouncing through the sane
tum door Ike a cannon ball, and
without pausing to say, How dye
do ?" sbe brought her umbrella down
on the table with a mighty crash and
shouted
II want you TO stop my paper"
"All right, madam"
"Stop it right of, too, f" she persist
ed whaeking the table again, for /
waited long enough for you TO do the
square thing"
She qeieted down for a moment, as
we run our finger down the list Of
names, and when we reached hers
and scratched it out she said:
There now mebbe you'll do as
you'd ought TO after this, and not
slight a woman jes cause she's poor.
If some rich folks happen to have
little red-headed, bandy-legged,
squint-eyed, heezy squaller
born to them, you puff it to the skies,
and make it out an angel; but when
poor people have baby, you don't
say word about it, even if it's the
squarest-toed, blsckest-haired, big
gest-hesded, nobbiest little kid that
ever kept a womsn awake nights.
That's what's the matter, and that's
why stopped ny paper"
And she dashed out as rapidly as
she came.

An operator sits in room darken-
ed by curtains. On his desk stands
little instrument named the ''re-
iecting galvanometer," the invention
of Sir William Thompson, without
which Atlantic telegraphy would be
a slow process, not exceeding two or
three words per minute, instead oil
eighteen or twenty, the present rate
The delicate instrument consists OF a
tiny magnet and q small mirror
swinging on silk thread, the two
together weighing but a few grains
The electric current passing along
the wire from Valencia, defects the
magnet to and fro. The mirror re-
fleets spot oflight on to scale, IN
box placed at the operators
right hand, where by an oscillation,
the spot of light indicates the slight
est movement of the magnet, follows
every change in the received current;
and every change, great or Small
produces a corresponding oscillation
of the spot oflight on the scale. A
code of signals is so arranged By
which the movement Of the spot OF
light is made to indicate the letters OF
the alphabet.
When receiving message from
Valencia, the operator watches the
movements Of light speek, which
keeps dancing about over the scale on
his right. To his practised eye, each
movement Of the spot Of light repre-
sents letter oft alphabet, and It's
seemingly fantastic motions are spell
ling out the intelligence which the
pulsings of the electric currents are
transmitting between the two benz
ispheres. 1t is truly marvellous to
note how rapidly the experienced
operator diseHtangles the irregular
oscillation Of the little speck into the
letters and words which they repre-
sent.

THE GREAT SCANDAL CASE


BROOKLYN, Dec. 2s.-Frank Moulton
yesterday Instituted, through his coun-
sci, Roger s. Kicker, suit in the su-
preme Court, Brooklyn, for $50, 900 DAM
ages against Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
The papers were served on 'Beecher
here, OF his residence, last night.
The complaint sets forth the cause for
the action as malicious prosecution or
Moulton by Beecher, the specification
being that on Oct. 10, 1874, lie procured
Moultop's indictment on a charge of
criminal libel. and pressed the suit so
far as to have him arrested and held to
bail. The specification further shows
that on Oct. 22, 1875, the District Attor-
ney entered a nolle prosecquiin the case
against Moulton's expressed wish.
THE suit Is intended to fully clear up
the scandal, and only one question will
be at issue, namely, the truth or falsity
Of Moulton's allegation that Beecher
committed adultery With Mrs. Tilton. It
is expected that Gen. b. II. Butler will
be M0ulton's e6Nns6L Mrs. Tilton will
certainly be called as q Witness as we'll
