The rush to Steinway Hall last evening
was unparalleled. The stairways, pre-

yeImenr and ruff tenrer. At s O'Clock
every seat was oca1 ed, and Standiny room

though these last were by far in the mai9ri,

the worth Of their money, aud cucored

sandwicheI between the two parts of the

the audience and the grcciousness of the

rectangular hollow wooden tubes, joiae1

attached in the middle by pivotal brass

inches and under in length, and were Of

one bar was attached an electro magnet,
out of which ran two ordinary covered
wires. Que of these continued up and out
through an aperture on the left of the back

SnarIers.

The way not to be healthy or hap
py is to keep up an .incessant snarl-
ing. If you want to grow lean, ca
daverous and unlovely, excite your
self constantly about matters. you
know nothing about. Accuse other
people of wrong-doing incessantly,
and you will find but little time to
see any wrong in yourself. We
wish here and now TO inform all men
of irritable dispositions that they
will live longer if they only keep
cool. If such men want to die. we
have nothing to say. Snarling will
kill about as quickly as anything we
know. We have had good health for
the whole period of our manhood,
and attribute most of it to the way
we take things.

ton of more shameless bribery. This
has been demonstrated by the experience
of Rhode Island, where wealthy men,
without any recommendation butwealth,
have repeatedly bought the Governor
ship by buying the electors.
Mrs. Lydia Sherman, who was SEN
fenced five years ago to imprisonment
for life for the atrocious murder of three
consecutive husbands and seven children,
escaped Tuesday, Goth ult., from the
Connecticu- State prison at Wethersford.
For year or more the prisoner claimed
to be affected by some chronic disease,
which for the greater part of the time
has confined her to her cell. Owing to
her supposed condition, she has been al
lowed more freedom than other prison
ers, and from week to week the watch
kept upon her has grown less constant,
Mrs Waterhouse, the matron, has occa-
sionally left the department under her
control while she was visiting friends in
the town. On the day of escape she
went away on one of these expeditions
and upon her return failed to lock the
inner door of the prison. In this way
the prisoner escaped, and has SO far elu-
ded capture. After her conviction, Mrs
Sherman made full confession of her
crimes. By her own showing she delib-
erately planned and executed the MUIR
der of eight PERSONS, all of whom she
poisoned by arsenic. Two others died
from poison, but their deaths, she claims
was accidental. Mrs. Waterhouse has
been removed from her position.

Frozen Kindness.

This world is full of kindness
that never was spoken, and that is
not much better than no kindness at
all. The fuel in the stove makes the
room warm, but there are great
piles of fallen trees lying among
rocks and on the tops of the hills
where nobody can get them; these
do not make anybody warm. You
might freeze to death for want of
wood in plain sight of all these fallen
trees if you had no means Of getting
the wood home and making a fire
with it. just so in a family love is
what makes parents and children
and brothers and sisters happy but
if they take care to never say a
word about tiff they keep it pro-
found secret, as if it were crime
they will not be much happier than
if there was not any love among
them; the house will seem cold even
in the summer; and if you live there
you envy the poor dog when any,
body calls him 'poor fellow"

The Stateneht

The question Of the State debt
continues to occupy a large space in
the papers, and the more It is discuss
ed the more the people are likely to
be divided about it. It seems to us
that the proposition of the bondhol.
ders to accept sixty cents on the dol
laris liberal enough, and if the press
of the State would harmonfze, take
hold and work to that standard the
subject could be disposed Of within
the present year. Otherwise it will
enter largely as a disturbing element
into the canvass of 1873, and the
meeting of the next Legislature will
find US further removed from an
equitable and honorable adjustment
than we are to-day.-Atheas Post.

Up in the morning early,
Just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk. in the dairy,
Turning the cows away;
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
Dusting the parlor chairs.
Brushing the crombs from the pantry
Hunting for eggs in the barn,
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the cotton yarn
Spreading the whitening linen
Down on the bushes below;
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red strawberries grow.
Starching the f1xings for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pale and strainer
Down in the running stream
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumpkin pies,
jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty in form and feature,
Thousands might covet to own
Checks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls
