| HON. WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON,
the venerable abolitlonist and dlsting-
uished champion of the old anti-slav-
cry movement, died last Saturday at
the house of his daughter, Mrs. Vii
lard, in New York. He had been i'll
for some time with Bright's disease,
AZ d fingered for several days between
life and death. His four sons and his
daughter, Mrs. Willard, wera in attend
ance at his deathbed.
MIR, Garrison commenced the War
fare against slavery, and the battle for
freedom, in 1927. and continued it till
lin 1865, his paper, the Liberotor,
published the amendment to the Con-
stitution forever prohibiting slavery
in the United States. He was the
fearless and uncompromising advocate
of justice, equal rights and freedom,
and the irrepressible and implacable
enemy of injustice and slavery. He
denounced slavery as the sum Of all
yillanles and labored with all his
might and energies for it's abolition.
Bold, severe and scathing he made en-
emies as well Us friends. In 1880 q
Boston Judge sent him to jail for tel
ling the captain OF slave ship that he
Was q domestic pirate; and five years
later a Boston mob dragged him
through the streets with rope around
his neck. At that time it would not
have been safe for Mr.. Garrison to
have entered a border State, The Leg
islature of Georgia offered $1,000 for
his capture. Before his death he
would have been safe in any part of
| the country, and .heiwas generally re
spected and honored by the people.
He did more than any other man to-
wake the people to2a knowledge of the
crime of slavery with all it's villanies,
and to prepare them for it's abolition.
Though. neither the abolitionist nor
nor anti-slaVery party obtained much
political strength. or many in number,
they did much to bring about the caus-
es which led to the abolition Of slav-
|ery. And that being accomplished
Mr., Garrison's great life work was
done and he now departs in peace.

SalutatiOnS.

Naturally, we turn to the East for the origin
of most of our customs, and I cannot do better,
L think, than begin with the salutations OF
those Eastern countries of which we ave the
earliest knowledge. A large, if not the larg-
est class of salutations can be traced to inter-
cesson The deeply religious character of the
Oriental shows itself specially in their saluta-
tions. The Hebrew word, bdrdk, ito bless"
had all the meaning of saluting. welcoming,
and bidding adieu, the person spoken to being
in each case commended to God. "Blessed be
thou of the Lord'' ''The Lord be with thee;"
"And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out
from before him. are instances which illus
trate the use of the word. They are paralleled
by the Arabian, "God grant thee His favors,"
''May God strengthen your mornings, "May
your mornings be good;" by the Persian, II
make prayers for thy greatness and by the
Ottoman, "Be under the guard OF God, My
prayers are for thee" Forget me not in thy
prayers" And we cannot be surprised That
this kind of salutation is found TO exist IN some
shape or other among all national greetings
Our religion has come from the East and some
of their Religious salutations still survive; as,
for example, in the Esthonian "God guide
Won the "Adieu" of the French, the $50
with God, Sehor,' OF Spain, and our God be
with ye," corrupted into Goodbye" And
here It may be remarked, in passing, that the
obviously religious phrases have been pre-
served by nations in a sense less distinctly re-
ligious than the English, while they have been
lost or changed among ourselves. Has the
closer intimacy of the continent with Roman
Catholicism produced an effect upon outward
expression, or is the change due to our greater
reverence for sacred names-a reverence, oil
course, oftenzmerely Pharisaic, but which has
led us, as it led the later Hebrews, to SHRINK
Cff hn
and either to corrupt it as in "Good-by" or
eliminate it as in "Mercy me" "Saye you,

How Far Bells may be Heard.
Scientific American .

lSc1entlhc American.
In hilly locality bell will not be heard
half as far as if the land were level, or nearly
So. A bell will be heard great deal further
lengthways of valley than over the hills at
the sides. 1t is frequently the case that bell
rooms are lower than the surrounding build
ings and trees, and these distractions break
the sound and prevent its free passage to dis
tance. 1t is frequently the case, too, that tow
ers have small windows and openings, with
the lower board 30 close together as to almost
box up the sound. In cities the noise of steam
and horse cars, manufacturing establishments,
carriages and carts rattling over the pave
ments, ETC., is so great, that bells are not ex-
pected to be heard at any considerable dis
tance, and this is the reason why in all cities,
several bells are used for fire alarm purposes,
it being impossible for one bell, no matter how
large it may be- to be heard above the thousand
and one noises incident to every largo place.
The largest bell ever made in this country
weighed $1,000 pounds, and before it was frac-
tured, hung on the City Hall in New York.
On one or two occasions this bell was heard up
the Hudson river 13 miles, in the night, when
the city was comparatively quiet. Water is a
good conductor of sound, and aided materially
IN making the Dell HeafQ as ABOVE nenJlOneu.
1t is great mistake to suppose that bells can
be heard In proportion to their weight; that is,
that bell of 1000 pounds will be heard twice
as far as bell of 1000 pounds. This is not so,
for the reason that the larger bell does not
possess anything like twice the resonant sur
face of the smaller one. What is gained and
admired in the larger bell is its deep majestic,
dignifed tone, which it is impossible to secure
in the smaller one, the weight of bell inva-
riably governing its tone. A bell of 100 or 200
z1f H. H..
factory in the country, is frequently heard at a
to one of 1000 pounds in church tower near
by; and instances of this kind frequently cause
no little comment in the way of comparison.
The reason for this is, that the small bell has a
sharp, shrill, penetrating sound, that must, OF
necessity. be heard a great deal farther in pro-
portion to its weight, than the low, mellow,
''church going' sound of the church bell.
The same principle applies to the whistle OF a
locomotive, and it is heard long distance
simply because its tone is shrill and penetrat-
ing When hung stationary and struck, or
toled bells will not be heard, as rule, half
as far as when swung. The swinging motion
throws the mouth of the bell up, and not only
carries the sound off, but imparts to it rich
ness that is always absent when the bell is at
rest and struck. A great deal is to be gained
by ringing bell properly, throwing the mouth
we'll up, and not lazily jingling it. 1t is not
physical strength that is required in ringing a
bell so much as getting the knack" of catch
ing the rope Just right, particularly on the
second "down pull The windows in the
tower should be as open as possible, and the
tower should be ceiled Just above the windows
