1t is related that lady at Parkville,
Conn, when one of her children was taken
with the prevalent fever which tends to
blend with diphtheria, and has proved so ia
tai, resolved to adopt preventive measures
to save at least the other children. She
hung up sheets in the sickroom that were
thoroughly wet with carbolic spray; and
pretty much everything else in that and
adjoining rooms was similarly treated. AS
fast as the wetted articles became dry the
carbolic acid was renewed. The result was
that the sick child rapidly recovered, and
neither of the others was taken sick.

COnELing's "Put Back"
New York Tribune.

81 believe (said Conkling in his Saturday
night club speech) and I say it with all
confidence, that the result of that conven-
tion (the National Republican Convention
of 1880) put the country back ten years."
1t would be difficult to match the absurdity
of this expression without having recourse
to the padded cell of lunatic asylum.
Several things were indeed "put back" as
the result of the Chicago Convention, but
the country was not one of them.
The third-term conspiracy was put back.
The unit rule was put back.
The boss system was put back.
The snap primary plan of turning out
instructed" was put back.
The attempt to throttle district legisla-
ton was put back.
The machine in New York and Pennsyl-
vania was put back.
The idea entertained by sundry gentle
men that they carried the party around in
their collective breeches pockets was put
back.
The impression that was rapidly making
headway that government of the people
by the people" was played out was put
back.
These are some of the leading things
that were put back as a result of that great
convention. And by so much as they were
put back, and have been kept where they
were put, the country has advanced
politically since the day when the beloved
and admired Garfield was nominated"
The retired functionary might much bet
ter have remained silent. His speech has
aroused memories which he can i'll afford
to have aroused, for it may with great pro-
priety be said of the concluding chapters
of his political career, in the language of
Junius, that they escape contempt only as
they escape observation.

BUoKBoARD Murray, is the not very sa-
worry appellation now applied to the Rev.
w. Il. 81. Murray, of whilom honorable
Adirondack fame, acquired by his bril-
liant description of the wonderful Adiron-
dack Falls. Something over fourteen
years ago he began his career as the attrac-
tive preacher in Park street church, Bos-
ton. He quarreled with his deacons, and
set up religious services on his own &C
count in Music Hall where, for about two
years he drew large audiences. Then he
became secularized. ae dealt largely in
horses, and went into the manufacture of
wagons, and invented Blackboard" Wag-
on. He failed in business, drifted away to
Europe, from thence to Texas, where by
his persuasive power in borrowing money,
he was enabled again to go into business
and again failed. Last month his credi-
tors in San Antonio got together to talk
over his financial affairs, and sent for him,
and he promised to meet them at a time
set, instead of which, he departed to parts
unknown, leaving behind him debts to an
amount of $4,000. Soon after, he was
reported to be in New Orleans, s,accompanied
by his pretty stenographei, the companion
of his fortunes and his fight, whom her
father could not persuade to leave the Sc
ductive preacher and speculator, when he
left New England on his travels. The last
heard of him he was in the city of New
York, alleged to be preparing a history of
himself or something else, which he is re-
ported to be going to Europe, to put in
press. Murray seems to be one of the nu-
merous REPRESENTATIVES of the Nine

THoMAs JEFFERSON had what in these
ideas of official life, responsibility and
personal thrift. 1t is pity such old-fash-
ioned ideas could not have survived to the
present time. 1t was an idea of Thomas
Jefferson, that it was not right to gain
riches by official emoluments, or by the
opportunities Official station afforded.
How many of the millionaires of the pres
ent day, who have grown rich in official
life, have acted on these honest Jeffersonian
principles? In recent memoir of Mr.
Jefferson prepared by John T. Marsh, Jr.,
speaking of his income from his profess
sion and his farm Mr.. Marsh says: sThe
evidence is abundant that he was thrifty,
industrious and successful. He seemed
like one destined to accumulate wealth.
but he never had fair opportunity to
show his capacity in this direction, since
he maintained a resolve not to better his
fortunes while in public lifer' How many
of our offce-seekers of the present day are
influenced by passion for money-getting,
rather than by patriotism in striving
for pull position? The passion for
Office from personal, rather than pa
triotic motives accounts for there being at
the present time so many public plunder-
ers in public life-men who have become
millionaires on salalia5 barely sufficient to
pay board bills. Such was not the quality
of patriotism and the motive of Office
holding in the time of Jefferson.

WHO are plagerists? The most distin-
guished and well-known authors are &C
cused of adopting and adapting to their
own purposes, the productions of those
who have gone before them to an amazing
extent, and are declared to be less original
in their writings than the applauding pub
lie have supposed. Chataubriand aver
red that the productions even of genius
were composed only of recollections-eacha q
quotation without the conventional marks.
"Read Tasso," says Emerson, and you
think of Virgil; read Virgil and you think
of Homer; Swedenborg and Spinoza will
appear original to uninstructed and to
thoughtless persons; their originality will
disappear to such as are either well-read
or thoughtful" 1t is said of 6,043 lines in
Henry VI. but very few were written by
Shakespeare. His julius Caesar, organiza-
ton excepted, is in Plutarch's lives. Mon
taigne borrowed heavily from Seneca with
out acknowledgment, and what he has
copied thus others have in like manner
adopted from him. Voltaire and Rousseau
present parallel cases, each reproaching,
incalcueable extent "a wholesale plagerist,"
johnson alleges; and Marmontel, Moliere,
and Sterne in his Tristram Shandy are
placed in the same category. Pope is said
to have been a consummate adopter and
adapter ofideas and phraseology; and it is
alleged of Byron, that he copied plans and
to large extent the language of his poems
declaring all pretensions of originality to
be ridiculous. Even the brilliant Mac
auley absorbed gems of illustration from
Hall; and even the much vaunted Carlyle
transPlants from Macauley, and the Ger
man. Mozart pillaged from Handel, and
Lowell asserts that Chaucer, the father of
English poetry, invented almost nothing -

WASHINGTON IRVING was born in the city
of New York. April Sd, 1888. The centen-
ary anniversary was duly commemorated
by few friends in Tarrytown. Among the
literary notabilities present were Charles
Dudley Warner, Donald G. Mitchell, 'Gail
Hamilton" and others. Letters were read
from Mr.. Whittier and others. One letter
urged the erecting of statue to Mr.. Irv-
ing in Central Park. The New York Crit
ic published Centenary Number" on
the occasion. Charles Lanman is about to
publish a work entitled "Haphazzard
Personalities" 1t will contain an inter
esting chapter of "reminiscences of Irving
from which the following paragraph is
taken: ''When questioned as to his man
ner of writing Mr.. Irving gave me the fol-
lowing particulars: He usually wrote with
great rapidity. Some of the most popular
passages in his books were written with
the utmost ease, and the more uninterest-
ing ones were those which had cost him
the most trouble. At one time he had to
labor very hard to bring up one part of
an essay to the level of another. He never
allowed thing to go to the press, however,
without writing it or overlooking it Sec
ond time; he was always careful about
that. Several of the papers in the Sketch
Book were written before breakfast; one he
remembered especially-"The Wife," At
one time, when in England, Thomas Moore
called upon him when deeply engaged in
writing a story, and, as the poet saw page
after page of Mr.. Irving's manuscript
thrown aside, he stepped quietly into the
room and did not speak word until the
task was ended, when he said he thorght
it a pity to disturb a man under such cir
cumstances. The first things he ever
printed were school compositions.

finished his term as pastor of Middletown
and Cantwell's Bridge (now odessa. Va,
$33 of his salary being unpaid. How or
why it would be hard to say, but at the
time of the. semi centennial in January
last the salary was still unpaid. AS the
people were then in the debtpaying busi-
ness 1t occurred to some of the brethren
that if Middletown would pay her half it
would be we'll to pay principal and inter
est of this old claim, amounting in all to
$112. The Odessa brethren found the

anxious to join them in this, and so two

Caused the Catastrophe.
Yesterday several experts visited the
scene of the explosion Of last Wednesday,
in the machine shop of H. E. Penny, 315
Third avenue south, from whom GLOBE
representative received the following in
formation in regard to the cause of the
accident:
Sd. Mccarthy OF the Poenix blacksmith
works, visited the shop to examine into the
cause of the explosion, and says the iron
of the boiler was badly burned. George
Coleman, foreman of the North Star iron
works, and Mr.. Lockwood, of the Union
iron works, East Minneapolis, unite in
saying that in all their experience thew had
not seen boiler so badly burned. doing
SO little damage when exploded. This ex-
plosion only tore away one sheet
of iron, leaving the rest of
the boiler intact. John Furness, formerly
engineer of the water works, and NJ. H.
Finch, steam filter, were on the grounds
Immediately after the accident occurred
and helped to extricate young Sanborn

not a trace of water in the boiler or on the
ground, as would have been the case had
the boiler been full of water when it ex-
ploded, as stated by Mr.. Penny.
Aid. Hashow corroborates the state
ments made by the preceding ex-
perts as regards the absence
of water and the iron being badly burned
Will Lowe, who fired the boiler for the
space of three weeks, says it was run with
out water when it carried at times lis lbs
of steam pressure to every square inch OF
surface. They all agree in the conclusion
that the real and only cause of the explo
sion, to the best of their Judgment, is due
to the fact of the iron being badly burned
and low stage of water existing at the
time of the catastrophe.
What caused the iron to burn was that
coal screenings were used for fuel. and in
addition to this blast was used to create
an artificial draft, which, instead of diffus
ing the heat equally over the entire fire
surface, concentrated the heat upon that
part of the boiler which ruptured. Ordi
narily, when a boiler explosion takes
place, the weakest point. or that along the
rivets, first gives way, but in this instance
the rivets were not started at all.
