Too Much Bathing.

There are few greater admirers of
the bath than L myself am. l like al
most every plan of bathing-with the
exception, probably, OF the Russian
moudjik plan of getting in under the
stove AID burying yourself in hot
ashes. have never tried that, but
doubtless it has its advantages-to a
moudiik. However, must say there
is such thing as OVERRIDING even the
bath. Although l should wish that
every one in this country were like
myself-amphibious, so that if thrown
into the water he would only ponder,
while quietly swimming out again,
where the nearest place was at which
to procure dry clothes and a cup of
cotfee-still, it must be remembered
that men are not manateeS. We could
not live most of our time in the Water,
like those interesting aquatic animals.
People should neither bathe too often
in the day nor remain too long in the
water at time, else they will oyerdo
it they will have too much of a good
thing. The after-effects of the bath
should in all cases be studied, as we'll
as the state of the general health.
Moreover, the temperature of the
water deserves consideration it may
suit some people to break the ice on
their matutinal tub in winter, with
frozen sponge for mallet, but dash
of warm water is to be recommended
when the mercury crosses the line
thirty-two degrees. One bath in win
ter and two in the heat of summer
would not call OVERRIDING the thing

A good swimmer can't drown him

try; but the man doesn't live who can
help swimming, if he is able, just as
soon as he begins to choke. Such is
the opinion of an old sailor, who adds:
"How many times we hear of folks
changing their minds after they get
under water, and of course there's lots
that never let On what they mean to
do. When you read about suicider
weighting himself with lead or some

GOOD NEWS.
Agreement of the Tariff Conference
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Mar 2.
The conference committee on the tariff
bill reached a complete agreement about
1890 today, and forthwith sent the report to
the government printing Office. The report
will recommend the adoption of the Senate bill
with very few changes of general importance
except in the metal schedule, in which the
committee recommend some increase of rates,
especially on steel. The changed rates
agreed upon under this heading are as fol-
lows: On steel valued at cents per pound
or less, As per cent ad valorem; on steel
valued at not less than cents and not more
than III cents per pound, specific duty of
q cents per pound, and on steel valued at II
cents per pound, specific duty of 81 cents
per pound.
The committee made no change from that
proposed by the Senate bill for cotton ties,
wire rods or for any other important articles
which have been the subjects of controversy
in the metal schedule. The conference com
mittee recommended only one change in the
sugar schedule,-an increase of n cents per
pound on sugars graded above No. l3 and
not above No. l6, Dutch standard. The
Senate fixed the duty at "a cents per pound
The only change i'll the wooden schedule is
to impose duty of 45 cents per pound and
~ per cent ad valorem upon women's clOaks
In the glass and earthernware schedule, the
committee proposed a specific duty of cent
printed and painted crockery to the china
clause, thereby increasing the duty from so
per cent ad valorem to 60 per cent.

BANGOR, Mar. 2.
=. The Chadbournes, for many months To-
Gated in Bangor jail, have been sentenced by
Judge Barrows in the S. J. Court at Dover
to imprisonment for life At the State Prison
at Thomaston. The father and two sons
were tried for the murder of Alvin /. Wat
son at Parkman Corner, June 20, 1881 Ii
appears. from the evidence at the trial, that
the victim went home on the night Of the
tragedy about O'Clock and retired. Ii also
appears that when Watson was aroused by
the movements of the murderers in his room
he reached out the window and screamed for
assistance He received some SO cuts. some
90 of which reached to the hilt of the in.rru-
ment used, any Of which would have caused
death. The body was dragged out doors and
Chadburne, deaf mute Is years old, con-
fessed the crime and the bloody knife was
found in his pocket.
IL appeared that there had been trouble
it being claimed that Watson was intimate
with Walton Chadbournes wife. The bloody
clothes and knife belonging to Wallace Chad
bourne were also found. and blood was
found on the old man Chadbourne's face and
whiskers.
State Attorney General Cleaves argued
that it was impossible for the mute to COM
nit the crime alone, and that he had an ac-
compice, and that the mute knew no mas
ters except the respondents that he was
subject to their CONTROL and that they had
motive for committing the crime and used
MIN as tool.
The jury returned verdict of guilty Of
murder in the first degree to both Benjamin
and Benjamin Wallace Chadbourne. The
respondents filed exceptions which were
overruled by the law court. and Judge Bar
rows yesterday sentenced them TO the State
Prison for life.
The order of the court at the time of the
trial concerning the mute was that he
should be placed in the custody of the super
intendent of the Insane Asylum, and the leg
islature recently made provisions for his ed
ucation.
