THE PERFECT DEATH.
Disco Mort.

Disco Mort.
Where shall we learn to die?
Go gaze with steadfast eye
on dark Gethsemane,
Or darker Calvary,
Where, thro' each lingering hour,
The Lord of grace and power,
Most lowly and most High,
Has taught the Christian how to die.
When I'm the olive shade
His long last prayer He prayed;
When on the Cross to heaven
His parting spirit was given,
lie showed that to fulfill
The Fathers gracious will,
Not asking how or why,
Alone prepares the soul to die.
No word Of angry strife,
No anxious cry for life;
BY scoff and torture torn
He speaks not scorn Cor scorn;
Calmly forgiving those
Who deem themselves His foes,
In silent majesty
lie points the way at peace to die.
Dellghting to the last
In memories of the past
Glad at the parting meal
In lowly tasks to kneel:
still yearning TO the end
For mother and for friend;
His great humility
Loves in such acts of love to die.
Beyond His depth of woes
A wilder thought arose,
Along Ills path of gloom
Thought for His country's doom,
Athwart all pain and grief,
Thought for the contrite thief
The ar-stretched sympathy
Lives OH when all beside shall die.
Bereft but not alone,
The world is still His own;
The real OF deathless truth
Still breathes immortal youth:
Sure, though In shud' dring dread,
That all is finished,
With purpose fixed and high
Tho Friend Of all mankind must die.
oh by those weary hours
OF slowly ebbing powers,
by those deep lessons heard
In each expiring word;
BY that unfailing love
Lifting the soul above,
When our last end is nigh.
SO teach us, Lord, with Thee TO die!
-tArthur Penrhyn Stanley.

two years, or Is more important than meteor ology. Various countries are now co-operat- ing in this work, and it's practical utility, al- ready very great, bids fair to be greatly in- creased. In this connection the extraordinary snow fall which occurred in Cashmere, in Asia, last winter, may be mentioned. In cer- tain places it showed continuously and unin- terruptedly for ten successive days, the snow upon the level plains being from thirty to forty feet deep, and in some of the mountain passes 1t was piled up to height of 150 and 250 feet. The earth was torn from the hill sides and prscipitated into the valleys in the spring by the weight of the descending ava lanches. The destruction of wild animals was very great.
 The occurrence of faminss in the East has given rise to inquiry as to their causes, and they are attributed to the wanton destruction of the forests on the hiIsidss.
 With regard to Arctic exploration, the Ba- rentz, in 1878, was the first sailing vessel that had sighted Franz Josef Land, and in other expeditions useful geographical work was done. An important event was the dispatch of tha steamer Jeannstse by tho way of Beh- rings Straits, with view of exploring Wran- gle's Land and of penetrating, if possible. as far as the Pole. The greatest event in the Arctic during the period under examination was the accomplishment of the Northwest Passage around Asia by Professor Norden- skiold.
 The numerous explorations in Africa have greatly changed the map of that country. and we now know a great deal about the center of the.continent The best estimate of the population of Africa puts 1t at 1S6, ,OOO,- GOO, being about sixteen inhabitants per square mile. The negro regions are the most populous, and their inhabit ants are estimated at 1so GOO, 900.
 There have been during the past two years 8 great number of minor explor- ations and surveys in various coun- tries, which have added much to the stock of human knowledge. A great num- Der are now in progress, and much may be expected of them in the immediate future. Fifty years, or even twenty five, of such prog ress in getting acquainted with the earth as now seems likely to be made will work great changes.

FOR GEORGE F. EDMUNDs.

We, the undersigned, citizsns of New Ha- ven, believing that sterling statesmanshp and high principles of political conduct ought to be insisted on in those whom we hope to place at the head of the National Govern ment, and feeling that the success of the Re- publican party In the coming Presidential contest, which we sinoersly desire, can best be made certain by securing candidate who will unite all clements of the party, wish to express our sympathy with the growing move msnt in favor of one who dsservedIy shares universal confidence, and whose nomination would arouse enthusiasm in all otherwise wa- vering voters, George F. Edmunds, of Yer mont. His great ability, his trained ststes- manship are unquestioned, and his public character would be party platform. We earnestly hope that Connecticut may join with other States in presenting his name to the Republican convention at Chicago.

SENATOR EDmuNna.


 The weighty declaration in support of the Edmunds movement printed in another place on this page will attract great deal of atten- tion, and will have much influence on the minds of Republican voters in this and other States. All the men who sign 1t are known to their fellow citizsns ss representatives Of the best element in politics, and number of them have national rsputations which accord with their present action.
 We are glad that such action has been taken. It is a fair and proper method of influencing public opinion, and the present is as fit a time as any for the effort. There Is no question but that Senator Edmunds Is growing In public favor, and 1t is the right kind of 8 growth. The people are thinking over the various candidates for the nomination pretty carefully. Many of them find much to object to in Blaine and his record. and many also object to General Grant and a third term. But there is no objection to Edmunds, HOT is there likely to be. He is an exceedingly able man and perfectly clean one. He is RepubH can Of the most thorough kind, yet hs has the respect of every Democrat in Congress. As General Hawley has said of him: "Hs is able in every fisld-law, legislation, states manship, practical politics He is careful in making up his judgments, and firm in main taining them. He Is utterly without fear or embarrassment in expressing and maintaining his opinions. He has great qualities of equity and courage. He is psrmeatsd in every drop and fibre with the spirit of American ideas of liberty and political progress"
 His nomination would suit everybody but those who want the nomination themselves and their workers. And even they could but acknowledge his eminent fitness for the honor. The rank and file of the party would feel satisfied to work and vote for him. There would be no talk of bolting if he were tho nominee, and the progress of the campaign would be smooth and unchecked. We should not have to stop to defend him. As the signsrs of the declaration say ''His public character would be party platform"
 There is no reason why Connecticut should not join with other States in presenting his name to the Republican convention, and there many and good reasons why she should

He has once or twice been asked to re- sign his position as trustee, hut calmly an swered that he could not very well entertain such proposition. Nor has any court thus far succeeded In making the slightest impress sion upon this confusion. The progress of the case will be interesting to lawyers and perhaps to others also.
 A curious difficulty has arisen over the ar rangements for the Democratic convention at Cincinnati. It seems that the municipal au- thoritiss have refused to allow poles to be erected along the streets leading to the Music Hall, which are necessary to give proper tele- graphic facilities to the press and to ths of fcsrs of the convention and It's delegates. This state of atfairs was reported few days since by the manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company in Cincinnati to the gen. eral manager in New York, and also by the Cincinnati agent of the Associated Press to the general agent in New York. Both these gentlemen, in their reports, stated that it would De Impossible, under this action or the city authorities, to do the prsss-work for tho convention. These letters were referred to Mr. Barnun, chairman of the executive com mittes of the National Democratic committee, and the local committee in Cincinnati has been notified that unless the city authorities revoke the order and allow the telegraph com- pany every facility for constructing such lines to Music Hall as 1t thinks necessary to do the work of the convention, call will be imme- diately issued for meeting of the full con- mittee to select another oity for the meeting of the convention. The order will probably be revoked.

Radlshes at short Notice.

-Radishes may be grown in very few days by the following method: Let some good rad ish seed soak in water for twenty four hours, then put in a bag and expose 1t to she sun. In the course of the day germination will commence. The seed must be sown in a well manured hot bed, and watered from time to time with lukewarm water. By this treatment the radishes will in a very short time acquire 8 sufficient bulk and be good to cat. If it be required to get good radishes in winter during tho severe cold; an old cask should be sawed in two and ons-half of it filled with good earth. The radish seed beginning to shoot as before must be then sown in, the other half of the barrel put on top of the full one, and the whole of the apparatus carried down into the cellar. For watering lukewarm water should be used as before. In the course of five or six days the radishes will be fit to eat.
