Ingersell at His Sisters Grave.

Col. Ingersol, says The Erie Dispatch,
presented a striking picture as he stood by
the grave of his departed sister, Mrs. Carter,
on Saturday morning. In his 47th year, he
looked at least ten years older under the
heavy sorrow which oppressed his heart.
Despite the piercing wind, he seemed trans
figured to the spot, remaining there with his
wife and Mrs. E. @. Ingersoll for some time
after the rest of the funeral cortege had
gone, gazing at the casket which contained
the inanimate lady, and one who had acted
the part of mother to him in childhood.
Mrs. Carter was not, as has been stated, 63,
but 58 years old.
In this connection we eltempted to mar
rate an incident. Col. Ingerson reached
here, in obedience to telegTaphic sum
mons, on Friday afternoon. Soon after the
sun, setting, came out in undimmed glory.
Leading his wife to window ON the west
ern side Of DR.. Carters residence, he point
ed to it with spirit Of enthusiastic admira-
ton, and under the inspiration Of the mo.
ment poured out the poetry Of his soul, Civ
ing expression to his thoughts in language
such as only great hearts can utter, and,
fitly associating it with the death Of his sis
ter, he wept like child. Those who were
present speak Of the scene as solemn and
impressive.

THE bill introduced into Parliament by
the British ministry for the protection of
life and property in Ireland" is strong CO.
ercine measure. 1t empowers the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland to issue warrants not
merely for persons known to be implicated
in reasonable designs against the Govern
ment, or in any way connected with agrari-
an outrages, but authorizes him to arrest
any one suspected as principal or accessory
in such offenses. The powers conferred
are to remain in force until the both of
September 1882. The Irish party have de-
termined to fight this measure to the bitter
end, ON the ground that its effect will be to
place the liberty of every Irish subject in
the hands of the Lord Lieutenant, but it
will probably be forced through Parliament
by large majority.

His Solemn Warning.
From the Wall Street Daily News.


'Yaas, there's money made in stocks, no
doubt, said the old man, as he removed
his hat and ran his fingers through his gray
locks, but it's reesky bizness; it's suthin'
like betting on whar ightnings going to
strike, with the odds in favor of hitting the
tree you stand under"
Then you never speculate"
Never. l dig along on the old farm,
takin' one crop with another, and pulling
out stumps when I've nothing else to do:
and if 1 don't make any great shakes, L
haven't ANYTHING to worry over. l had a
purity solemn warning during the coal-ile
excitement, and it cured me O speculatin'. "
How was that?"
WAL, 1 was a widower then; wife fell
down the well and was drawed out as stiff
as poker. I had big farm, lots of stock,
and was called purity solid. We all got ex-
cited about lie, and all of US dug more or
less holes in search of the stuff All of
sudden a widder ivin' about two miles
from me found lie in a dozen places on
her farm. She was widder with bad
nose, and freckles all over her face,
eyes on the squint, and built up like
camel. But when she struck lie that was
a different thing Old Deacon Spooner,
who was a widower, got mashed right away
Our preacher, who had lost his third wife,

cluded she was an angel. guess some six
or seven of us begun courtin' that widder
within sixteen hours after the first sight of
lie. I know the procession reached from
the gate to the house"
"And you got herr"
Not much I didn't, and that's what I'm
thankful for. Somehow or other 1 eouldn' t
work up to the pint. That nose kinder
stood in the way every time was ready to
pop the question. She acted like she want
ed me, but Deacon Spooner got the best of
all us, and they made hitch
And what?"
Nothing, except she had desed that farm
with barrel of lie, and thus got husband
for herself and home for five children.

the backbone that they had to kiver me
up in a hoss- blanket, and since that time I

THE career of William Sha1

THE career of William Sharon of Nevada,
in the senate of the United States, is princi-
pally noted by his absence from the sessions
of that body. His record for six years, OF
to January 14th, is a curious one. The SEN
ate sat 694 days, but Sharon was only pres
ent on 53 days; he delivered only three
speeches, occupying about four minutes,
and never introduced bill. At the ex-
piration of his term ON the 4th of March he
will have received $4,000 without in
eluding mileage. Il don't care a blank fol
the pay, said Sharon. when the secretary
of the senate proposed to deduct for the
money kings absence. 'You can keep it all
ifyou want to; it's of no consequence to me.

Scientific Notes.

Cryolite is snowy white mineral, partial
ly transparent, of vitreous luster and of
brittle texture. 1t is SO named from its fu-
sibility in the flames of a candle. It is a
compound of sodium, fuorine, aud alumni
um, and is used for the preparation of the
metal aluminium. It occurs in veins in
gneiss with pyrites and galena; and has
been found in Western Greenland and at
Miyask in the Ural. In the United States
it is extensively employed in the manu-
facture of a white porcelain glass. and also
in the preparation of caustic soda, and
thousands of tons are annually imported into
this country.
The Sea of Azoff has a new island about
100 feet in diameter, and ten feet above the
surface of the water. This most recent ad-
dition to the territory of Russia is the re-
suit of some subterranean disturbance.
The birth of the island was attended with a
marine eruption and the appearance of a
fissure in the land on the shore near by.
A magnetic sand, imported from the Isle
of Bourbon, and since found near Morbi-
ham, is said by M. Edard to have the prop
erty of rapidly reviving plants which had
shown pronounced symptoms Of decay
through disease.
DR. Czech, of st. Petersburg, suggests to
inventors the QeSlfaDllCy OF securing some
apparatus which will collect the fine volatile
oil of the coffee bean. half of which is
lost by the present mode of roasting. The
beans contain to Is per cent. of this oil,
which has all the flavor of coffee, and which
would, if saved, form an excellent material
for iqueurs. In 1873 the quantity Of coffee
roasted is estimated at about 123 900 tons.
In a paper recently read before the French
Academy of Sciences, Prof. Fort gave
| some startling instances of the efficacy
of artificial respiration. A 3-year-
old child had apparently died, and
was considered as having passed over to the
majority for three and half hours. At the
end of that ii Prof. Fort set up artificial
| respiration and kept up the process fol
four hours, when the child returned to life.
A person had been under water for 10 min
utes, and was evidently drowned. DR..
Fournol, Of Billancourt, however, after four
hours of labor, managed to make natural
succeed artificial breathing, and SO reani-
mated his patient. In some instances arti-
fetal respiration will be found of great
efficacy in removing poison from the lungs
and glands. In any case of asphyxia hope
should not be abandoned until hours of
trial of artificial respiration gives no encour-
aging result.

years old. He appeared before the court and
threw himself upon its mercy. The sentence
was ten years in the states prison at hard labor,
the first two days of each year to be in solitary
confinement In the interview, Connors stated
that he and his pals would never have made the
robbery had they expected to get anything less
than S 10, 900 worth of plunder for their pains;
that they had spotted Mrs. Coates, now Mrs
Gen. Russell of Kansas City, for months, and
that they came near making the attempt in the
latter city at some time previous. He refuses
to give the names of his associates at present,
but says they entirely deserted him when most

STATE engineer Seymour of New York
in his annual report, refers to the question
of making the canals free. He proposes
the half measure at first of the removal of
all tolls from west bound freight. For two
years, some articles going west have been
freed from tolls, and the rate ON other re-
duced, and the east bound business is found
to increase by the operation the boats which
went full west being able to bring back
grain tc New York at half the price they
would have charged if they had gone west
empty, thus actually increasing the total of
tolls received as contrasted with the period
before the change. Free tolls in both di-
rections are likely to be the rule, within a

THE OFFICE SEEKERS.
A Good Word for Much Abused Class.
Waahinpton seftar To Phil Iimaa

A Good Word for Much Abused Class.
Washington Letter to Phil Times.
Pretty soon the Office seekers; poor fell
lows, will begin to throng here. have a
great sympathy for the ofice-seeker. He
does not seem to have friend in the world.
Everybody despises him, from the hotel
clerk and newspaper man to the President
of the United States. The editor is par
ticularly severe on him and never loses an
opportunity to ridicule and malign him.
The hotel-keeper looks upon him with sus-
picion, as though he might steal something
or run away without paying his bill. To
the Congressman the ofice-seeker is an
abomination, and to the head of depart
ment he Is a plaything. He is avoided as
though he concealed about his meagre
costume pestlental disease. He is be-
sieged by jibes and sneers. His private
character is laid bare, his family affairs are
by on means sacred, he must exhibit his
bank book and must have a breath as
sweet as a May morning. A man is
only allowed to smell of gin after he is in
| Office. Even the messengers in the depart
ments, whose laborious duty it is to tell
lies, inspect cards and fight fies-even the
messenger has contempt for the Office
seeker. 1t seems to me that all this is in
the highest degree unjust. How often do
| we hear Congressman say that they are be-
set and run down by devillish ofice-seek-
ers; how often do the heads of bureaus and
departments say that the Office seeker is a
nuisance, and how often do we read of the
terrible suffering the President goes through
| in listening to Office seekers. The office
seeker, as I think, has just as much right
| here, as a member, senator or a cabinet
| officer. The offices are not the private
property of these gentlemen, whatever they
may think. They belong to the great Amer
lean people-the great unwashed. Those
| in Office think there is no disgrace in hav-
ing been an office-seeker; the contumely
| lies in being anoffice- seeker. Every one of
the three hundred members has be en- an Of
| fee seeker; every one of the seventy six Sen
ators has beenan office-seeker; every one of
the seven cabinet officers has been an Office
seeker; every one of the twenty or thirty
bureau officers has been an office-seeker

holders should not forget. They are nc
better now (not SO good probably than they
were before they got into Office, and they

will seek the man. In these practical days
offices do not look around for somebody tt
