slavery and of reforms in religion and politics,
The Independent at once become recogniz-
ed power throughout the country. It's in
fuence has ever since been constantly grow
ing AS it has fought against slavery and for

all things. 1t employs the best editorial
talent, and speaks feariessly on all subjects.

the great Methdist OouAcil in London are 3

My soul looks out from its grating,
And sees without sigh
The funeral train of youthful hopes
Mournfully pass byi
Health and the joy of existence,
And the faiths that wont to be,
And love, are dead and departing,
It's winter with me.

The effort OF Professor Bell TO To-
cate the ball in President Garield's
body BY means Of, an electric indue-
ton balance is fresh IN the memory
Of all Another plan for detecting
metallic substances in the human
body has been submitted BY PROBES
sor Bell to the French Academy OF
Sciences. The method IS as follows:
A fine needle is inserted near where
the ball Cor other piece OF metaI il
supposed to be. This needle is con-
nected by wire with one terminal OF
d telephone, while a metallic plate
laid on the skin is connected with
the other terminal When the point
Of the needle reaches the ball an q
lectric current is set up between
that and the plate, producing
sound in the telephone. The nee
die may be inserted in several places
with little pain, and the pain may
be prevented entirely by means of
ether spray. To test the method
ball was placed in d piece Of beef
when it pas proven that contact OF
the needle with piece Of bone pro-
dueed no sound in the telephone,
while a very distinct sounI was
heard whenever the ball was reached.

It was then the fashion to seat your

For the benefit Of those benighted
readers who know nothing about
sliding, except back sliding | will
remark that a bob is built Of two
sleds and a board The board is se-
curely fastened to the rear sled,
while the front end rests on a rock

on board in the same way that a
