THE PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE SEAL.

In 1855 the State seal was damaged so
that il failed to give true impression, and
a bill was introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Thorn to authorize the Secretary of State
to procure new seal. to be engraved on
steel and to be substituted for and used in
stead OF the seal then in existence; and
requiring him to destroy the then State
seal in the presence of the Governor and
Controller. The bill was accompanied with
design which reduced the size of the seal
twelfth part of an inch, and to admit of
this contraction some of the details of the
original design were omitted. The bear
was made TO crouch submissively at the
feet of Minerva the miners cradle was
left out, and the miner was brought nearer
the water. On March 10, 1858, the Senate
amended the bill by providing that the de-

The Brain.

This body that we live in is in sense
the universe to us. We get no light save
that which comes in through this strange
sky-light of the brain. The man won.
derful lives in house beautiful, and it
is all in all to him. It was meant to be
his perfect instrument and not his per-
son. Constant obedience to it's laws
would make him the true microcosm-
the mirror of the universe-nay of its
Creator. In his ignorance he began to
use strong drinks. and honestly called
them "a good creature of God" But the
attractive ingredient in all these bever-
ages is alcohol, poison that has this
changeless law, that it acts in exact pro-
portion to the quantity imbibed upon
the brain and nervous system precisely
as fire acts upon water, tapping it up with
q fierce and Unsuitable thirst. This af-
fnity of alcohol for moisture is like fe-
verish and consuming passion, and the
blistered nose, burnt brain, and parboil-
ed stomach of the drinking man are ma.
lures perpetual object lessons to illus
trate the fact that alcohol must be the
redoubtable enemy of an organization
made up as the human being is, of seven
in every eight parts of water. But with
this fact one other, VIZ: That the appe-
tite for alcoholic beverages are the only
ones on earth that have no power of self
limitation. One glass says two, and two
say three, until as general rule, from
the power of self-perpetuation in this ap-
petite, the life of y drinker of alcoholics
has but two periods, in the first of which
he could leave off if he would, and in the
last, he would leave off if he could. But
how shall the young and thoughtless
avoid this supreme peril of their youth
unless they know about it, and how
shall they learn without teacher, and
how shall they teach except they be
sent? This, then, is the rationale of SCI
entifc temperance instruction in the
public schools.-Miss Francis E. WI

A Dead Warrior.

Sierra Advocate.
When Cochise, the celebrated Apache
chief was young man, he was noted q,
being a friend of the whites, and did al
in his power to prevent hostilities OF
both sides, and often boosted that he
had never shed a drop of whiteman'i
blood. During some of the Apache wars
in 1868, think, Cochise induced some
six or seven OF the most influential Of
the tribe to accompany him to the
United States headquarters. When
they arrived they were taken to large
tent to talk over peace with the com.
handing officers, and when all got seated
at signal, file of soldiers appeared
and proceeded to kill the Indians. Co.
CHS saw the movement and with his
hunting knife he slit the tent, and with
q bound and yell he ran vowing ven.
gence that he would kill one. hundred
whites for every red man killed that
day. The soldiers fired at him, but he
escaped, and resolutly he kept his word,
as many . poor soldier found to his sor-
row, as the stones, boards and stumpe
over the country marked, KILLED by
the Apaches" will testify.
The name of the officer who ordered
the murder of Cochise and his COM
panion, I will not mention; let his
name 60 down in oblivion and detesta-
ton.

Gold and Silver.

Bay State Monthly.
Gold in its relative value to silver has
varied greatly at different periods. In
the days of the patriarch Abraham was
one to eight; B. C. 1000, it was one to
twelve; B. c. 500, 1t was one to thirteen
at the commencement OF the Christian
era, it was one to nine; A. D. 500, it was
one to eighteen; in LOO, it was one to
eight; in 400 it was one to eleven; in
l,545, it was one to six; in ISL, it was
one to two; in l 900, it was one to ten; in
1927, il was one to thirteen; in LOO, ii
was one to fifteen and one-half; 1t held
the latter ratio, with but slight variation,
until .S72, when it began to rise and in
1876 it rose to one to twenty; it soon
gradually declined, and now it stands
one to nineteen and one-half.
Gold to the amount of 81 ,0S1 ,0O0, 600 is
estimated to have been in existence at
the commencement of the Christian era.
At the period of the discovery of Ameri.

After Ten YeerD' Search q Father Finds His
Daughter . Wealthy Young Woman,
Speeches, Dying, In . Garrett.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance ten years ago of Miss Belle
Savage, daughter of Nelson Savage. a
wealthy farmer residing near Swanton.
Garrett counto, Maryland, hasin meas
ure been cleared up by the discovery of
the missing girl in dying condition and
in poverty in q room in the tenement
No. Caroline street, Baltimore, Md.
Ten years ago Belle was her fathers
favorite daughter in a happy home, q
beautiful girl, with bright prospects and
many admirers. She suddenly disap-
peared. Her parents were nearly dis
tracted. For weeks it was feared she
had been drowned or lost in some
of the wilds of the mountains.
The detectives of Philadelphia, New
York and Baltimore were employed in
the search, and many thousands of dol
lars expended in the endeavor to obtain
tidings of her. Clews were followed up
but never ended in restoring the daugh-
ter. In sadness she was mourned as
dead; her aged father never gave up
hope of her return.
A few days ago the old gentleman,
upon awakening one morning, spoke OF
the dream he had the night previous
in which he had seen his lost child in
the garrett of a dwelling in Balti-
more. She was in abject poverty and on
her death-bed The dream deeply
affected the father. and on Friday he
came to this city and placed the case in
the hands of Marshall Gray, of the po-
lice force. Detectives were detailed to
aid the old gentleman to find his daugh-
ter. At last, the discovery was made
that a pretty young woman without
friends was i'll in garnet room at Mrs.
Matthews tenement house, No. Caro-
line street. Together they went to the
above house, and there Mr.. Savage found
his daughter dying of consumption and
without cent to get food or medicine.
The meeting between father and
daughter was sad and tender one. His
once sweet and beautiful daughter was
now prey to the ravages of disease,
with almost fleshless bones, sunken
cheeks, and hollow eyes, too weak to
raise her head or speak. She could only
by smile show some sign of recognl-
ton. Mrs. Matthews cried when she
saw the daughter restored to her father,
and the detective turned his head aside,
while his eyes, which had looked on
many scenes of misery and horror,
filled up, and tears ran down his cheeks.
Mr.. Savage made every arrangement
for his daughters comfort, and he says
all that money can do. will be done to
make her few days on earth as pleasant
as possible. AS the daughter can not
speak, no information concerning her
Whereabouts for the past ten years can
be ascertained. She has only been Gv-
ing with Mrs. Matthews about two
weeks. Miss Savage is worth nearly
500, 900 in her own right. All her prop
erty has been cared for by her father
during her absence. She is about 81
years old. Mr.. Savage says but for his
dream his daughter would have died and
been buried as pauper.

The Washington Family.

DR.. Tonor of Washington, who is an
authority on all subjects relating to the
Washington family, contributes the fol.
lowing interesting information:
ut may be said to be q characteristic
of the Washingtons that they have been,
and still are, devoted to agriculture. A
few have studied law and some medi-
cine, but the greater number of them
take to mathematics, surveying and
farming. Washington devised his lands
to his nephews, who were in conse-
quence but in possession of considerable
estates that made them independent,
influential and prosperous citizens of
the neighborhoods where they lived.
They nearly all married young and
left families. It may be said, too, in
this connection, that as a family they
ale short lived. find that the Wash
ingtons have always been fond of the
gun, and the most noted horsemen of
the sections in which they lived. In
their habits they are social d hospita-
BILE to degree of extravaganza. They
have all been free, good ivers and
occasionally some have INDUCED too
freely in spirits, but cases of inebriates
among them are exceptions. They are
most numerous in Virginia, Teen
nessee and Kentucky, but a consie1-
cradle number of them also reside in
Ohio, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia and Georgia, where they have
usually settled on the most productive
farm lands. As an other characteristic
it may be stated that they are unambi-
tious for public positions"
DR.. Tonor adds that not a general in
the Revolution wore a beard, nor is
there picture extant to show that any
private did.

MAINE AND THE SMALL Pox,

The chief topic of the discussion at the
last meeting of the State Board of Health
was the threatened epidemic of small pox
The State Board realizes that upon itself
rests great responsibility, and it is dis
posed to do its full duty. But it feels that
two things are absolutely necessary to enable
it to do so: the faithful cooperation of the
local boards and prompt action on the part
Of the people themselves.
The increasing virulence of the epidemic in
Montreal is the more alarming because the
disease gained its foothold in summer Small
pox as general thing, works its ravages in
cold weather. If then, four thousand cases
have already occurred what may the mum
Der be when the winter really sets in? The
chances of its Importation into Maine in
crease as the season advances. As the State
Board points out the principal danger lies in
the manufacturing places, the numbering re
gions and the cities and towns which are in
any way Immediately connected with Cana
dian towns where the disease has already an
peared. 1t is in these places that the most
active measures of prevention should be tax
en-. 1t is to these places that the circulars
issued by the State Board of Health have
special reference and in these places that
their recommendations should especially be
carried out. We do not have to contend
here with the superstitious pr JUDGE against
vaccination, for which the ignorant French
Canadians are paying so dearly. We have
learned that only the vaccinated are on the
safe side, while the unvaccinated offer an in
vitation to the pestilence.
1t behooves persons of all classes to be
watchful. People should remember that at
such time, in looking out for themselves
they are, at the same time, looking out for
their neighbors, and thus doing public
good.
