made great gains in their votes as we'll

REMEMBER TnE POOR !

In every village and neighborhoOd
there are individuals or families that
are reduced BY sickness or poverty to
conditions Of distress. They are will
ing and anxious to do what they are
able for their own support. but do not
want the humiliation ofealling upon the
charity Of friends, or upon the overseer
Of the poor. If some kind person does
not discern their wants and alleviate
their distress, they will suffer on unpit-
led and uncared for. There are many
old persons living in cold and desolate
houses or novels many half-elad and
hungry children /; many feeble and suf-
fering women, whose distress might be
lessened and whose condition might be
benefited, if those who have enough Of
the Lords bounties would contribute
something Of tEeir care, in looking up
the cases Of suffering, and little Of their
store. There is a good deal Of benevo-
lence in the world, but many Of those
who possess it are too indifferent or
shiftless to exercise 1t, and SO the hun
CRY starve, and the suffering ones die
unfed and uncared for. Make your ben
evidence active seek subjects on which
it can be exercised. and you will do
much good in your life. The poor and
the sick need care, clothing, fuel and
food and you can easily spare some
hour or portion Of your time, something
from the abundance Of your granary OF
storehouse. some cast-off garment Of
clothing. or load Of wood to send com.
fort into distressed family, or a ray Of
sunshine into a fainting heart. Wher
you gather about your we'll loaded ia
bles. with happy and well-clad children
about you. a cheerful fire on the hearth
remember that the Bountiful Oliver ha
bestowed His gifts upon you, while the
are withheld from a poor neighbOr an
it is your duty to assist him in his da
of distress. "He that giveth to the pool

THE ANNExING POWERS.


The two powers, Russia and Great
Britain, which already rule one-half Of
the earth's surface, are the only great
powers Of the world which still patient
ly and successfully carry on their at
tempts to increase the extent of their
dominions. Within the last two years
the British Government has enlarged
its possessions on the west coast of At
rica by securing the territory which,
having been ceded by Holland. was dis
puted by Koffee Kalkalli. the king of
Ashantee and it has also during the
present year increased its Australasian
possessions by annexing the Feejee Is
lands, which, though inhabited by saw
ages, are fertile. valuable and beautiful,
and we'll fitted to support large popu-
lation of colonists. In the East Indies
the same Government is steadily ex-
tending its power, which has grown in
to such vast proportions by successive
eonquests during the past century; and
We may be sure that the present trOub-
les with Burmah. by whatever means
settled, will result either in annexation
or in an enlargement of British author
ity leading toward it. There is no lin
it or pause to English territorial ambi-
ton; and there are British newspapers
which since the diplomatic misunder-
standing with the PekIng Government,
have been talking about the permanent
extension of Queen Victoria's power
over the Chinese Empire.
The Russian Government, in like
manner, still continues its career Of an
nexation. The public is familiar with
the conquest and seizure of khiva, il
Central Asia, couple of years ago, and
it is not going too far to say that the
recent operations in the adjacent Khan
ate of Khokand have put the whole o
Turkenstan under Russian power. Tn,
acquisition during the present year o
the great island of Saghalien is of ex
eeeding Importance to Russian interests
This island was an ancient dependenc,
of Japan, which stretches southwark,
from it. but for quarter of eentur,
Russia has been actively engaged i
trying to secure possession of it. A
last, after lOng-continued negotiation
and cautious movements, which some
times imperiled the peace of the partie

closely watched by England, it was flu

N,por rows DREAD OF SATIRE.-His
government was despotism not temper
ed by epigrams, and it was controlled
by despot who. though not devoid of
sonse of humor. had all Corsicau's
mortal hatred of ridicule- No man in
France was less French than Napoleon,
either in lineage or in character. His
moral position in Paris was not unlike
that which Othello might have held in
Venice if Othello had been base enough
to betray and expel the Senate which he
had sworn to serve. We can imagine
how the shy. proud Moor would have
writhed under the pasquinades of the
graceful, dissolute Venetian wits whom
he despised. So Napoleon. who never
ceased to have much in him of the semi
barbarian chief (and always looked like
one when he was dressed in imperial
robes) shrunk with morbid apprehension
from the tongue of Madame De Stael,
and wrote autograph notes to Fouche
calling his attention to the placards and
verses of the street corners. There is
something more than ludierous in the
spectacle of this rude soldier. with a
million armed men under his command,
and half Europe at his feet, sitting down
in rage and alright to order Fouche to
send little woman over the frontiers
lest she should say something about him
for the drawing, rooms of Paris to laugh
at.
Instead of caricature, therefore, we
have only categorical glory in the fu-
gitlve pictures of his reign, none of
which is worthy of remembrance.

The NEW HAMPSHIRE TRAGEDY.-
The hope that the perpetrator of the
horrible murder of Josie Langmaid at
Pembroke. \. H.. may be detected, Is
revived by the announcement that
Frenchman named La Page was arrested
at Suncook, one evening last week, on
suspicion Of being the guilty man. A
story that bears out the one told by Miss
Lake, the friend of Josie Langmaid, who
testified to the fear the murdered girl
had of the suspected Drew. is now relat-
ed by another girl friend, who says that
at about the time Miss Lake was told
of Drew's indecent proposals, she and
Miss Langmaid were passing the piece
of woods where the murder was after
ward committed, when TIE latter sud-
denly stopped and as if iorewarned of
her coming fate, remarked: "lf | am
ever assaulted and my dishonor threat
ened, remember it will be death strug-
gle" A witness has also been found
who will testify that Miss Langmaid had
a terrible aversion for Drew. Yet. un.
less the alibi, sworn to by all of Drew:
family, is broken down, there seems Il
be little chance of proving his guilt, i
he is guilty, of which the townspeopl'
have hitherto been fully convinced.

RAPID FALL OF A YOUNG MAN.

In March of 1873, Mr.. James Null
Inns, the well-known grocer, on Craig
street, donated large amount of prop
erty, consisting of some $4,000 worth of
stock. bakery with plant and fixtures
and house valued at over $4,000 to
his nephew, James Lowe, young man
at that time about twenty-five years of
age. Lowe also received money to
considerable amount from his father and
his aunt and to all appearances had ex-
cellent prospects before him. Unfort.
unately for Lowe, however, he bad not
been long placed on this footing before
he fell into fast company and began to
shun the society of his uncle and seek
advisers among the frequenters of no.
tells in the vicinity. In May of this
year he sold the business which had
been left to him by his friends and en-
tered into the grocery and liquor bust
Dess. the firm being known as James
Lowe & Co. This was done much
against the will of Mr. Mullins, who
earnestly advised the young man never
to deal in liquor but to no avail. From
that Period his fall was rapid. He was
often observed in the neighboring sa-
looms in the company of men who took
advantage of his youth and inexperience
to fleece him, and that they did so mos
efectually may be gathered from the
fact that it is estimated that he squan
dered from $4,000 to $4,000 recently
within few months. Lowe has beer
observed often in the midst of a numbe
of these land sharks, treating them t,
champagne. Finally, however, the mon
ey ran out, and to obtain further mean
he forged the name of his uncle on sew
eral notes. which he succeeded in get
& tine cashed. One Of these notes bear
the endorsation of hotel-keeper. Tn
creditors have seized the stock in th
h grocery, and Lowe himself cannot
r found, and it is supposed that he Ia
n fed the eountry.-4Hontredl Witness.

Now that Pemberton, the East Bos-
ton murderer is hanged, they are say
ing that he was not in his right mind
when he committed the murder. He was
so soaked with liquor that be didn't
know what he was about. He himself
said that he had no recollection how he
came to the house of the murdered wo-
man, what be did there, or how he got
away. Now all this does not tally very
well with the facts of the case. 1t is in
evidence that he knew what he was
about well enough to entiee Mrs. Bing-
ham into the cellar on some pretenee Of
examining the pipes, and that he there
deliberately throttled her and robbed
her person of several rings, then going
quietly away. There is too much meth
ed in such madness as this to allow u:
to believe that the murderer was uncon

The Hartford herald., 1875-10-13

As it is necessary for the ends of
justice and the safety of the communi-
ty at large that we should have a new
jail, instead of the present dilapidated
and insecure disgrace to the county,
and as it is probable the proposition OF
Mr.. Bennett, the contractor who has
just finished the Jail at Calhoon, will
be favorably considered, we append
the following paragraphs clipped from
an article in the Mclean County
Progress:
Mclean county can now boast OF
having as good a Courthouse and jail
as any of her neighboring sister coun
ties, and at Il cost far below most OF
them. The original cost of those
buildings We're about $4,000 while
those of Union county for instance, ARE
said to have cost s125,090, over four
times as much.
The new Jail ordered built by the
Mclean County Court last Spring, the
construction of which was let to Mr.
Edgar Bennett, of Breckenridge coun
ty, has been completed for some time
past and on Monday last was accepted
by said Court. Mr.. Bennett, the
builder, has fulfilled his contract in thu
very spirit and letter of its meaning
and all who have seen the Jail unite i:
saying that it is at once one of tht
most conveniently arranged and secure
structures of the kind they have eve
seen.
