The Late Hon. w. a. Russell.

The announcement of the death of Hon.
w. a. Russell Of Salem, comes unexpect-
edly to bis numerous friends in this coun-
ty. Though in not the bet of health for
couple of years, no immediate fatal termi-
nation OF his difficulties was looked for
but on Friday morning last, about five
o'clock, he breathed his last. For over
thirty years William A. Russell was one of
the best known citizens of this county to
our own people and TO the state at large.
He was born politician, inheriting to a
considerable extent his fathers wonderful
power in that line, and up to the day of
his death he took an active interest in pub
lie affairs.
He was born in the town Of Salem on
the 9th of December, 1912. He was
educated at the Washington academy in
that town, and was pupil at the time
the old yellow school house was burned,
which occupied the site of the
present building. The grammar school
department was at that time taught by
Timothy D. Allen, end to him Mr.. Russell
owed much for his education. He studied
law in the Office of Hon. David A. Russell,
his father, who was an able lawyer and
prominent politician, he serving three terms
in congress-the XIV, XIV snd XXVI
SNh5iNp'eoi huo uumltttu W Tie Oar Nv
the supreme court of this state, but never
practiced his profession to any great extent.
For many years he held the office of Justice
of the peace, in the town of Salem. In
lS40 he was elected sheriff of the county.
serving three years in that capacity salts
factoriy. In 1855 he was elected states
prison inspector, and occupied that posi-
ton three years. In December 1855. he
was delegate to the national council of
the American party held at Saratoga.
December Is, 1865. Mr.. Russell was orig.
inally whig, but afterwards went into the
national American party, and when that
broke up, to the democratic party, He was
one OF the most astute politicians of this state
and influential with the old leaders of the
democratic party in this state. His iudp.
ment about public sentiment was good. and
his advice always well worth considering.
Socially he was very agreeable man. and
was endeared to a wide circle of personal
friends, Hewas generous to fault. and
even those OF his btterest political enem-
les can remember many acts of kindness
lie has fought many a good fight, given
some hard blows as we'll as taken some
but now that he is gone many pleasant
recollections will come up to the old poll
ticians or The county, aud kindly thought
VIII hold sway, and many friends will re-
gret the death OF generous, large-ht arted
man.

WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY.
In the spring of 1868 | was most severe
ly afflicted with hard, dry cough, with
its usual accompaniment of night sweats,
completely prostrating my nervous system,
and producing such debilitated state of
health that, alter trying medical aid to no
purpose, l had given up all hopes of ever
recovering, as had also my friends. AT
this stage of matters was prevailed upon
through the influence of neghbor, to try
WIsrARs BALsAM, though with no belief
whatever in its truly wonderful curative
properties, and before using two bottles
the effect was almost magical. My cough
entirely lett me, the night sweats deserted
me, hope once more elated my depressed
apirits, and soon | had attained my wonted
strength and vigor.
Thus has this Balsam, as has often been
remarked by persons conversant with the
| above facts in this vicinity, literally
snatched me from the yawn!ng grave. You
are at Liberty to use this for the benefit of
the afflicted. Very respectfully yours,

PAPER-PULP FROM CANE.
from the Paper Makers CircMkar.l

MN. Meritens and Kresser have obtained
a patent for a process for the extraction Of
~cetulose from refuse cane, which promises
to prove of some value. The refuse cane,
or trash" bagasse), which heretofore
has been used as fuel or manure, comes
from the mill crushed and nearly white,
but containing a good deal of saccharlne
matter, intermixed with gum, albumen,
and various foreign substances. To ellml-
nate the latter, the refuse is exposed to
q Jet of steam in a closed vessel, and
afterwards re-pressed, either in the mill
or 10 a special machine, where it parts
with a considerable quantity of fairly
concentrated saccharine juice, which can
be treated by some of the methods in
ordinary use in re6neries and distilleries'

Lord Granville took occasion, Ton pre-
senting the degrees and other honours
gained by the students of the University
Of London) to say that he thought the
time was coming when the admission
of women, to medical degrees more es.
pecially, must be fully and fairly consi'
dered. The demand for women as physi-
clans was increasing, and women anxious
for qualification to practice are now
driven abroad for their degrees. The re-
mark is quite correct. The present
writer happens to know that one lady-the
wife Of a cIergymon-is now studying
medicine abroad in order to qualify her
selfto practise, who would probably much
have preferred to study at home, had she
been permitted to get her diploma here.
What vast good might not the wives of
the clergy do 10 their parishes, if they
could gain the in 1uenoe appertaining
not merely to gratuitous tracts and flannel,
but to LIBERAL y-dispensed medical advice :!

The solid portions are now nearly dry,
and are converted into paper-making
material by passing them lightly through
an alkaline bath, aud afterwards washing
in acidulated water. The material is
handed over to the paper-maker, either as
simple fibre drawn and cleaned, or as
pulp, after bleaching with chlorine or
other reagents. The fibre SO prepared is
said to take less chlorine for bleaching,
than any other vegetable fibre. AS clean
ed fibre the material can be shipped at
IS to 40 francs per 100 kilos. As pulp,
the price is so to so francs per 100 kilos.,
with a reduction on larger quantities. The
advantages claimed for the process are =
An increased yield of sugar increased
value of the refuse increased economy
Of fuel. as it is stated that 1880 kilos. OF
refuse cane are required to do the work OF
1000 kiIos. of steam coal. M. Aug.
Pinget, a French engineer, estimates that
the general adoption of the process would
add SO million francs u two millions
s%terling) per annum to the gross revenue
Of the French sugar-growing colonies,
taking the amount of sugar annually pro-
duced bv the latter at a million kllos.
Besides this, the impetus given to sugar
culture and the paper-trade must be
taken into account.

modore Hewett, despatched to inquire
into the affair, decided that the King must
be fined 500 puncheons Of palm-oil, where
upon the King replied that he would paw
the fine at Abomey, in bullets and powder.
Tuis message, however, was improved by
his agents at Whydah into a reply that
the King would do as he pleased in his
own territory, and hoped the Commodore
would leave off p~alaver and turn trader.
Commodore Hewett has accordingly
ordered q strict blockade of Whydah,
which will be felt at Abomey in want Of
revenue, but will probably induce the
King to attack British territory. In that
case, it will be necessary to punish him,
and we trust that, in his case, the Abyssi.
Man precedent will be followed, and not
that of Ashantee. 1t is useless to attack
a barbarian of this kind, whose destruction
is slaughter, unless, as Lord Napier said,
he is made to some down from his throne.
He does not care how many of his people
IRE killed, or have their huts burned down.

The Conference of the Russian, Aus
trian, and German Chancellors, called at
Berlin to consider Turkish affairs, com
menced on Tuesday MAY 10Y. Prince
Gortschakof, Count Andrassy, and Prince
Bismarck are all attended by the permanent
heads of their departments, Count Andras-
sy being further aided by the experience
Of Baron HGbner, and the conversations
are very long. Their real object has not
transpired, beyond the fact that the Chan
cellors intend, if possible, to decide on a
common, definite policy in regard to Tur-
key, and the security to be given to the
Christians. 1t will be most difficult, as
we have argued elsewhere, to discover any
line of action on which the powers can
agree, unless it be to secure autonomy for
any Christian province which reyolts sue
cesSfully but Prince Bismark is scarcely
the man to let SO important q meeting,
announced with such pomp, pass without
adequate results. We may be sure that
he is considering Germany, and not Turkey,
or the world either, but his own view Of
the immediate interest of Germany is as
obscure as ever. He may desire time, or
an alliance with Russia, or an alliance with
Austria, or an agreement among the three
powers, and he has hitherto carefully left
himself unfettered.

sided. After the Usual afternoon exercises,
the prepossessing preceptress asked her pu-
pills if they would mot like to heara few re-
marks from Mr.-; and the unanimnity
with which the little folks answered yes,
made it equally as embarrassing fer II he

following exordium:

NIL EsPERANDUM.-A man who has ac-
q~uiredsthe habit of giving away, to depres-
sion is-on the road to ruin. When trouble
comes upon him, instead of rousing his en-
ergiestto combat it, he weakens, his judg-
ment becomes obscure, and he sinks into the
slough of despair. And if anybody pulls
him out by rnain force, and places ain safe
on solid ground, he stands there detected
and discouraged, and is pretty sure to waste
the means OF help which have been given
him. How different it is with the man who
takes a cheerfm view of life even at its worst,
and faces everything with unyielding pluck!
He may be sweptaway with an overWelns'
ing tide of misfortune, but he brayely strug-
Giles for the sffese, amd is ever ready to make
the most of the.help that is given him. A
cheerful, hopetuf, courageous disposition is
an in%yaluableeaa of character, aad should
be a~ssidnously cultivated.
