NOT TRUE The Republican does
not tell the truth when it says that the
GAZETTE said "that there will be in
bank by the 1st Of January 5000 and
all floating debts paid" The GAZETTE
said So, 900 and all floating debts paid.
We cannot give eyes to the blind; nor
make the ignorant reason intelligently
But those who read the article in Mon
days GAZETTE referring to the Kent
Ne,os will discover how untruthful the
Republican is by its remark that we then
said there would be S., 900 in bank, when
we said $4,000. The deception at
tempted to be practiced is easily detected

A Terrible Fate.

The correspondent of German Swiss
paper tells of q terrible accident that
occurred recently near the Russian
town of Baku, on the Caspian Sea. A
man of the name of Rowaleff lived
with his family i'll small building
which had been erected in the neigh
borhood Of an exhausted naptha spring,
for the storage and refining of naptha
AS is the custom in Russia, Rowalef
was in the habit before going to bed Of
closing all the doors and windows of mis-
house, so as to exclude as much as pos
sible the external air. At four o'clock
in tile morning, his wife having occasion
for light, Rowalef rose and struck a
match. The next moment the air was
on fire. The gas from the old naptha
spring had risen through the interstices
Of the floor in the house, and finding
no means of egress, had filled it with
inf1ammable fumes. In a few seconds
all the eight children of Rowalef were
either stitHed or burnt alive in their
beds, and the wretched father and
mother managed to crawl to the door,
their skin hanging in shreds from their
scorched bodies, only to die miserably
a few hours later. The entire stock Of
naptha was of course destroyed and
the building burned to the ground.

4 Dutiful Husband.

There is at Moscow certain German,
blacksmith, named Jordan, who mar
ried Russian woman. After she had
lived some time with her husband, she
one day thus lovingly addressed him:
" Why is it, my dearest husband, that
you do not love me?' The husband
replied: 81 do love you, passionately."
81 have, as yet" said she, received
no proof of your love-" The husband
inquired what proofs she desired. Her
reply was: "You have never beaten
me!' Really" said the husband, 81
did not think that blows were proofs of
love; but, however, will not fail even
in this respect" And so not long after
he beat her most cruelty, and confessed
to me that after that process his wife
showed him much greater affection. So
the exercise frequently: and
finally, while was still at Moscow, cut
off her head and her legs.-Old English
Travels IN Russia.

a pleasant feature Of the place at but a
little expense. twill be better to have
an experienced gardener lay out and
occasionally superintend the garden
and grounds, unless we can afford to
keep good gardener during the sum-
per. knowledge of gardening and
lawn decoration is an accomplishment
suitably becoming the lady and gentle
man Of any well conducted rural
home. For unless the proprietors
understand their business. both within
and without doors, the employees soon
become masters and mistresses of the
situation, and the management OF the
place will be perverted to the interests
OF others. How much Of the happi-
ness of rural life depends upon the
care bestowed upon the house, the
garden: the fruit, the flowers, the horse,
the cow, and the birds by ourselves, can
only be estimated by him who has be-
slowed that care and who reaps the
pleasure flowing therefrom.

The Cure for GOsSiD.

Everybody must talk about some
thing.-The poor fellow who was told
not to talk for fear that the people
would find out that he was fool, made
nothing by experiment. He was con-
sidered a fool because he did not talk
on some subject or other. Everybody
must have something to say, or give up
society. OF course the topics of CONVEX
sation will relate to the subjects of
knowledge. If a man is interested in
science he will talk about science. If
he is an enthusiast in art he will talk
about art. If he is familiar with litera-
ture, and is an intelligent and persistent
reader, he will naturally forward litera-
ry topics in his conversation. So with
social questions and religious. Out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh. That Of which the mind is
full, that with which it is furnished, will
come out in expression. The very SIM
pie reason why the world is full of Cos
sip is that those who indulge in it have
nothing else in them. They must in
terest themselves in something-They
know nothing but what they learn from
day to day in intercourse with and OBJ
servation of their neighbors. What
these neighbors do, what they say, what
happens to them in their social and
business affairs, what they wear, these
become the question of supreme in
terest. The personal and social life
around them-this is the book under
constant perusal, and out of this comes
that pestiferous conversation which we
call gossip. The world is full of it, and
in a million houses all over the country
nothing is talked of but personal affairs
of neighbors. What is the cure for
gossip? Simply culture.-There is
great deal of gossip that has no maligni-
ty in it. Good-natured people talk
about their neighbors because, and only
because they have nothing else to talk
about. Gossip is always personal
confession either of malice or imbecili-
ty, and the young should not only shun
it, but by the most thorough culture re-
lieve themselves from all temptation to
indulge in it. 1t is low, frivolous and
to often a dirty business.

Meet Life BraVelT

In almost every phase of life may we
observe that manly stability follows
manly energy. In trials and suisfortunes,
those will bear them most cheerfully
who have struggled the hardest to avoid
them. The calamity that comes through
neglect is hardest to bear. The
fretful, repining, discontinued MUIR
murer is almost invariably the one who
has put forth the least effort to help
himself. So the promises that are most
cautiously made are the most firmly
kept. The generosity that is guided
by wisdom is most thoroughly depend
able. The love that is founded on re-
spect is the deepest and most perma-
ment. True manliness and and wo-
manliness must combine the element
of activity and response, of vigor and
calmness, of firm will and and gentle
p!iancy; and those who most faithfully
and energetically use all their powers
as duty calls them forth will be able to
stand the most firmly and easily, and to
rest the most camly and contetedlv
when the hour of labor ceases.

i NeW-England Romance.
Rutland (Vt.) Herald.

A correspondent from Boston writes:
eve have had April showers enough
this year in all conscience, that May
flowers ought to be abundant; but, alasi
one can only become possessed Of a
poor little withered bunch of half-a-dozen
blossoms, framed in wiry evergreens, by
buying it of some little ragamuffin of a
boy, or of our Mayfower woman. Have
YOU ever seen our May hower woman :?
If you have been in the Hub in the
season you cannot have failed to notice
her, for she always stands in some door
way near the corner of Washington and
Windsor streets, with a basket of the
little nosegays, and patient look on
her poor, pale, withered face. She wears
a simple gown, and shawl, and bonnet,
always neat, but 0 SO poor and pltiful!
Did you know that she comes from the
hills of New Hampshire, where May
flowers grow in profusion, and that,
when she was young and charming
Qike Little BatAercup), her youthful
farmer-lover used to bring her great
punches Of the lovely blossoms fragrant
with dew, end that they used to pledge
each other that this should always be
their chosen flower, and that they would
ever remember? Did you know how
they were secretly married, these young
things, because they stood In awe OF the
boys father, stern, hard old man. who
was, for that place, rich, while she was
only a poor orphan girl who tolled for
her bread? And did you ever think
that that pompous, well-to-do man, who
always stops every morning and after
noon to buy cluster of Mayhowers
from this sad-eyed woman is the very
husband of her youth, who, by long
train of misfortunes and misunderstand-
ings, was led to forsake his young wife,
and who has long been married to a
wealthy Boston woman, whose tranquil
happiness the poor forsaken wife will
never disturb, though she knows her
husband well, while he never once has
recognized in her the bride of his youth !?
Probably you may never have heard
this sad tale,-and strict regard for the
truth, as we'll as a dread of possible
libel-suits. forces from me the confession
that never heard it either; but the old
Mayfower woman is there all the same,
and pompous, well-to-do gentlemen do
buy flowers of her; and it all may be
true, you know"

Scientific.

Discussing the wearing qualities of
steel rails at meeting of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers in Balti-
more, Mr.. r. w. Hunt said: 'I am
convinced that more rails have been
broken by the treatment which they re-
ceived before leaving the rolling-mill
than from any other cause. [ allude
to the injury inflicted upon them in the
cold Strengthening press, where each
blow of the gag forms wedge of the
particles of steel pr essing upon the sur
rounding ones; and thus serving to rend
the rail asunder. l am certain that ofall
the broken steel rails that [ have seen,
fully IS per cent. have been ruptured
at the gag mark. So we'll recognized is
this cause of breakage that the Troy
works and others have spent large sums
in introducing machinery to more per-
fectly hot straighten the rails, and thus
leave less work for the cold press.
While [ admit that DR.. Dudley's physi-
cal analyses show a difference in the
broken and crushed and unbroken and
uncrushed rails, am not prepared to
accept these results as coming entirely
from the chemical properties of the
Iuetdl. IL L mistake not, OF Inc 70
samples are from crushed rails. May
not these failures have been caused by
mechanically imperfect bars, piped in
gots, Or some other mechanical defect?
Then, again, the possibility Of the steel
having been overheated in the rail roll
ing must not be ignored. For it is well
known that the same steel worked at
different temperatures will afterward
yield widely different physical results.
We who have to encounter the difficult
ties of manufacture, know how many
and vexatious they are in their physi-
cal as well as chemical FORMS"

it cured him so completely, that he
couldn't cough now if he drank quart
of vinegar, and it all went down the
wrong way. It's a we'll authenticated
fact, that a tablespoonful of this won
