A Tribute to Adelaide Nelson.

WHATEVER may have been the vicis-
STUDIES, trials, mistakes, and sorrows Of
her past, she was by nature woman Of
pure domestic Observation-Disclosures, CEN
tie, confding and true; and she would
have made that home very happy, with
the husband she had chosen. it is no
secret to few of her friends lit need
not be secret to any body now that
she was soon to be avowed the wife of
Edward Compton, who acted with her
during her farewell American tour. and
who must now endure the awful Attic
ton of seeing the sods laid upon her
grave. The story of her successes on
the London stage and all over Great
Britain, and of her four visits to Ameri-
ca, need not be rehearsed There NAV
come time for that in another form.
But it will not be amiss to note, with
some slight emphasis, the fact of her
youth, as it is seen when coupled with
such noble and brilliant achievement.
She was, to have done so much, very
young woman. She was in this sense a
prodigy-and whatever were her faults
or errors, it is remarkable that she bore
so well the always perilous burdens of
early triumph and the incense of q
worlds admiration. She had the intui-
tons of genius and also its quick 81 r,N
and wild temperament. She was largely
ruled by her Imagination and her feel
ings and had neither the prudence of
selfshness nor the craft of experience.
Such nature might easily 90 to ship
wreck or ruin. She outrode all the
storms of a passionate, hayward youth
and anchored safe at last in the haven
of duty. Her image, as it arises in
memory now, is not that of the actress
who stormed the citadel of all hearts in
the delirium of Juliet, or dazzled with
the witchery of Rosalind's glee or Vio-
las tender grace; but it is that of the
grave, sweet woman, who, playing
softly in the twilight, sang-in that rich,
tremulous, touching voice-an anthem
that paraphrases the words of Christ:
With all your sorrows am made par
taker, and | am acquainted with all your
griefs. D William Winter, in New York
Tribune.

A Useful Family Clock.

Mr.. DARIUS L. GoFF has at his home
on Walcott Street remarkable clock.
The clock in the first place has his
tory, being an heirloom of the Carpen-
ter family of Rehoboth, in whose posses
sion it has been for at least two hundred
years, and perhaps longer. 1t came in
possession of Mr.. Golf q few years ago,
he being a connection of the family, and
since his ownership of it it has devel-
oped powers which for two centuries
had lain dormant and unknown. 1t is
an old style. tall clock, and occupies a
position in the front hall of Mr.. Goff's
house, where it regulates the entire
household. The clock never requires
winding, the front door as it is opened
and shut during the day performing
that work. Within the dial is also an
ingenious mechanism by which the light
in the front hall is turned up as dark
ness approaches, and again is lowered
as the orthodox bedtime draws nigh.
AS morning dawns, and it is time that
the servants bestirred themselves, the
faithful clock rings bell in the back
hall, summoning them to their daily Ia
bors. An hour later bell in the front
hall warns the family that it is time to
rise, and half hour still later another
peal of the bell summons them to break
fast. Beside these arrangements, the
clock is connected with another in Mr..
Goff's sleeping-room, whereby the two
are struck simultaneously. All these
ingenious attachments, in which of
course the aid of electricity is invoked,
are the invention of Mr.. Golf himself.
Among other things he has invented
very serviceable machine, which is in
use in the braid factory in which he is
interested, for winding the braid upon
the spool OF core. In the office of the
company is also a thermometer with
electrical attachment so arranged that a
bell is rung when the temperature of
the room is above or below certain
point.-PaaOtetcbet Or. I. letter to Proui-

The Influence Of the Watermelon.

BOTH the School of Philosophy of
Concord and Gen. LIE Due forwarded
communications to the Limekiln Club,
inquiring what influence watermelons
had been found to exert on the feelings
of members of the club. The query
calling for general discussion, the
members were asked to give their views.
Sorghum Harris said that one big
watermelon had cured him of consump-
ton after the doctors had told him that
he must die.
Nevertheless Brown had always no.
ticed that whenever anybody around
the market gave him melon he had
scarcely devoured it before he had an
almost uncomfortable desire to go out
and steal larger and ripper one. He be-
lieved that the watermelon had done
more to tempt the colored race to steal
than all other fruit combined.
The Rev. Penstock said that water

A New Cure For Nilihism.

COUNT LoRIS MELIKOFF, on receiv-
ing the appointment to the high position
he holds, resolved to put an end to
Nihilism in a practical, business-like
manner. One of the first steps consist
ed in opening negotiations with two
Nihilists of high rank, who were con-
fined at Fort Paul. After personally
communicating with the prisoners he re-
leased them from confinement. At the
same time they received pledge from
Count Melikdff that the persons whose
names had been divulged as being
prominent among the Nihilists should
not be harmed in any way wha soever.
Count Melikoff adhered to the pledge,
and it enabled him still further to pene-
trate into the secrets of other persons.
The question was how further to en-
ploy these persons, who belonged to that
intelligent but INDECENT class of persons
so numerous throughout Russia, in or
der to render them harmless. One after
the other the persons were secretly in
vited to enter into arrangements in good
Russian fashion. No one had know
ledge Of the others doings or where
abouts. By far the larger number of
persons were sent out of the country in
secrecy as political agents to Roumelia,
Servia, Greece aud Constantinople
while others were retained on stipends
until an opportunity for employment
should offer. They may be seen moving
about freely. In conversation with 9th.
ers they profess to favor Panslavism to
the last; but they assert it is essential
for Russia to solve the problem of form
ing union among all Slavs; that being
accomplished, the great measure of re.
form may be attempted.
