Obituary.


Mrs. W.. It, ELLlSs
Died In Salisbury, Aug. 10, Eliza, wife of W
r. Ellis, of typhoid fever, after an illness o.
eighteen days.
This wife and mother had lived to the age of G.
years and eight months. All her life she was q
resident of Salisbury, and died on the place
where she was born, a daughter of Noah and
Lucy LOVctt. AT this writing we know not the
date of her marriage to W. Il. Ellis of New York.
Four sons blessed their union. The husband and
sons all survive to mourn her departure from
earthly scenes. No home circle could mourn
such a loss u.orc deeply than does this one. In
her death a vacancy is made that cannot be filled.
If any one connecting link stronger than another
holds the home circle together it is the wife and
mother, and it seems particularly so in this in.
stance. >he was always engaged in her home
duties. being absent from home scarcely Il week
at a time during her whole married life, a period
of about forty years. This kind mother and
ncighbor will be missed in the home and vicinity
The funeral service was held at her late home
in salisbury the day fOllOwinS her death, II host
of sympathiZing friends coming to pay fitting
tribute to her memory, to perform the rites of
burial, and to offer consolation to the bercaved
house old, the comforts of gospel being Oflred to
them by the writer OF these words, from the text
found in the 10th verse of the 10th Psalm. Flo
raj tributes adorned the casket, tokens of love
and sympathy, telling witnesses to what human
power would do We're il able, not only for the
living but for the dead; and as we said then we
say now, let us not dare TO think God would do
less, but trust that He would and will, having
the power, do infinitely more, even save unto
eternal life AMI bliss the souls that He has made.
May this home circle jim their great sorrow trust
in God, hope in Christ, and believe that when
Gods perfect work is completed in them, they
shall meet Il reunited family in heaven, where
tears are wiped away and sorrow is no more.

to another and comparing probabilities
with their friends. A clerk in the Sec
retary's office remarked yesterday that
he hadn't the nerve to open new
ledger, for he did not know at what mo-
ment his dismissal would be received.
The contagion of reform has extended
to the Patent Office also, where it is
greatly needed. The acting Commits
sloner says employees must work day and
night, eat their lunch in thirty minutes
time, and read no newspapers during
office hours until they catch up with the
work, which in the Patent Office is sew
eral years IN arrears. On account Of the
dilatoriness of the patent examiners, APP
plicants for patents have often to wait
ten months, before their cases can be at
tended to.
The office seekers are growing decid-
edly impatient and cannot appreciate
the fact that it is impracticable to turn
out all the present force of Government
employees in one day, and run the Gov
eminent with raw recruits the next day.
Among the most active and persistent
spoilsmen are the men who were beaten
at the polls in November last. The ex-
Representatives all expect something,
and they form very noisy and aggres-
sive part of the large throng of office
seekers.
President Cleveland listens much of
his time, to the talk of callers. Many of
them visit him to pay their respects,
while others, disregarding the publicity
given to his determination to give no
hearing to place hunters, have persisted
in pressing demands for office.
Hon. James q. Blaine and President
Cleveland met for the first time last Fri
day evening, when the former walked
over fIom his residence to the White
House. The visit was brief and neces-
sarily embarrassing to both victor and
vanquished, but the popular comment
was that it was a graceful act on the part
i of Mr.. Blaine.
Secretary Bayard is experiencing con-
4 siderable difficulty in filling the place OF
the Assistant Secretary of State. He
thinks the office should be filed by {
man OF the highest reputation, one equa
i 70 any Of the Cabings SfiiceTs, ana Il is
said he would like for ex-senator PEN
dleton to accept the position. Mr.. PEN
dleton, however, does not regard the
place SO highly, and his friends say
freely that he would not have it under
any circumstances. They want him to
be Minister Lowell's successor, and are
working hard to that end. He has also
been recommended for the Paris mission
but the majority of the Democratic Sem
ators urge his appointment to the
court of St. James, and it is now believed
that the Civil Service Reformer from
Ohio will go there.

have found that the lobes of the left side
of the brain are larger than those of the
right, indicating that more nervous en-
ergy is directed to the right side OF the
body than to the left. This may be the
cause of right handedness or it may be
an effect of it.
SOAP SUBSTITUTES specimens of pods
and seeds which take the place of soap
in China were exhibited by Mr.. f. B.
Forbes at recent meeting of the Lime
an Society of London. He stated that
for ordinary cleansing purposes an inn
pure earthly soda and I've made from
wood ashes are employed, while the
leaves of two plants (botanically known
as Hibiscus sqridcus and Gingks biI0ba)
are occasionally used on the head. The
favorite substance, however, seems to be
the ''feitsao-ton" or 'fat black beans"
. (GulnnocIadus chinenSis) The roasted
pods are used for washing clothes as
well as for bathing, and women cleanse
their heads with the seeds. Pods of
GIeditschid sinensis (known to the Chi
nese as "tsao-chio(" are boiled to pre-
pare washing infusion also much en-

PANORAMIC PHoToGRAPHs.--A new
French apparatus, called the cylindro-
graph; is designed to photograph at a
single operation a wide sweep of the adj
jacent country. The instrument consists
of a camara OF semi-circular form, with
a small tense in the center, from one
side of the the landscape to the other.
The panoramic pictures thus secured are
sufficiently good to serve surveying, mil
itary and other purposes.
EARTHQUAKE SIGNALING.-The Seis-
biological Society of Japan has suggest
ed the use of the surrounding telegraph
stations as a means of warning the in
habitants of Toxic or Yokohama of the
approach of an earthquake. A shock at
one of the stations could be made tc
complete an electric circuit and fire &
gun in either of the two cities, thus Civ
ing notice to the citizens from two to si1
minutes before the arrival of the earth
quake, and enabling them to extinguisl
their fires and remove many yaluables.
a MOUNTAIN VIM. a ren1arkabf
| phenomenon of the North of England il
there known as the helm wind. A late
description states that it blows out OF
clouds which collect on the Pennine
range of mountains, and makes a rush
ing noise like the roar of heavy sea
breaking upon rocky shore. Its lifting
force is so great that it sometimes over
turns vehicles, and takes animals off
their feet. 1t prevails chiefly in the Car
Isle district, and is seldom felt at a
greater distance than seven miles from
its apparent place of origin.
To the many uses of glycerine another

ing with glycerine removes the dryness
of the tongue which causes the enerteric
fever patients much wakefulness and

Washington Letter.

The new administration has not COM
menced with a revolution, but in the
twelve days of it's power, a sufficient
number of changes have been made and
reforms inaugurated to furnish key to
its future. The new broom has been
used in the White House, in the Treas
ury Department, in the Interior, and in
the Department of Justice. In the litter
of the White House, four clerks were
found whose services were deemed super
fuous and they were dispensed with.
In the Treasury Department forty super
numeraries were found and dismissed
In the other Departments mentioned,
the broom has as yet been confined to
the stables. Secretary Lamar and At
torney-General Garland have taken the
initiative by reducing the transportation
service to the actual necessities of their
departments. They propose to walk,
and have ordered lot of horses, car
riages and wagons, hitherto paid for by
the Government for private accommoda-
ton, chiefly for carrying the families of
officials to balls, receptions, and amuse-
ments, rather than for public use, to be
sold at auction. The proceeds of the
sale are to go to the Treasury, and a
result of this order will be the return to
their legitimate duties of seven en-
ployes who have been used as drivers.
The guillotine work of the new regime
has made all of the government clerks
miserable. It has sent thrill of terror
through the sinecurists of the Depart
ments, and their name is legion. Here
tofore Government clerks have had a
feeling of security. But decapitation for
economic purposes was a phase of re-
form undreamed Of With civil service
protestations now on one side and this
terrible example of retrenchment on the
other, they are in constant apprehen-
sion. In the Treasury Department,
where the force is greatly in excess of
the requirements of the work, employees
are so badly frightened that they seek
temporary relief by going from one room

The Fishing Industry.

The enterprising inhabitants of Kew
West, and the semi-amphibious people
of the Bahama Islands, are gradually
developing an industry that for many
years has claimed their greatest care and
attention. The markets of Cuba, Hayti
and Santa Domingo in particular, re-
quire vast supply of live, sailed and
dried fish. While salt Goldfish, in no
small degree, supplies this demand, the
inhabitants of the islands, particularly
the poorer class, live on an almost exclus-
lively fish and fruit diet. The live fish
brought in smacks to the market sell at
large price, without delay; while the
preserved fish sell with equal rapidity,
and almost at the same price.
When the fishing season commences
scores of well-built and seaworthy little
crafts, belonging to Key West and the
Bahamas, are prepared for a four months
cruise. A good portion of the bottoms
of the vessels are perforated with hum
dreds of holes, through which enters a
constant supply of pure ocean water. As
fast as the fish are caught they are placed
within thin, hollow cylindrical tube
behind the right fin, and are then thrown
into the "well." Specimens of less than
four pounds are generally cut up for bait
or food for the fnny captives in the hold.
Every morning hand goes into the well
and throws out the dead fish, which are
Immediately cleaned and sailed. A ves-
sci will make as many as four successful
trips season.
1t would be impossible to state the
number of vessels engaged in this in
dustry, but it is probable that not less
than $50 first-class fishing boats are own
ed along the Southern seaboard and the
Florida Keys. The enterprise certainly
must be paying one, for many hundreds
of men occupy themselves in no other
pursuit.
The demand in the West Indian mar
kets for fish food is constantly on the in
crease; thus the price of the article
maintains steady rate. A fish diet
seems to be eninently adapted to tropi-
cal countries. Even now the demand
for fish is often greater than the supply.
and the question has arisen how is that
demand to be filled?-New Orleans

Scientific Miscellany.

CoLoRs OF THE SEA.-The theory of
Prof. Tyndall recognizes three principal
hues in ea-waves-blue, green and yell
low. Solid particles held in the water
act as minute mirrors rejecting the light
which penetrates the liquid. The rays
which are sent out after having traversed
only thin stratum of water preserve
their yellow parts; but if the reflections
are attenuated, the water appears green !;
and if they do not exist at all, the sea
being clear and free from the muddy
matters, the color is deep blue. In an
indigo sea the waves will appear green
on account of their lack of thickness.
Sea-weed, animalcules and other local
or accidental causes may have much
influence on the color of the water.
A MONUMENT OF THE PLANT iWoRLD.-
Adanson found trees of the baobab spe-
cies in Africa which he computed to be
5150 years old and DeCandolle has re-
ported the decidus cypress of Mexico to
reach still greater age. The oldest
individual specimen of any species-in
fact, the oldest living thing upon the
globe-is probably the cypress of Santa
Maria del Tule, in the Mexican State of
Oaxaca. If estimates of tree ages are to
be relied upon, the life of this venerable
forest monarch may have spanned the
whole period of written history. At last
accounts it was still growing, and in 1851
when Humboldt saw it, it measured ~
feet in diameter, 146 in circumference,
two opposite branches.
The temperature of British waters is to
be studied with reference to it's influence
on the fisheries. The Duke of Edinburgh
is interested in the investigation, which
he considers most important one.
Lady amateurs appear to be taking an
active part in astronomical and micro
scopic work in Great Britain.
WHY ARE We RIGHT-HANDED.- The
absence in infants of any marked pref
erence for either hand has led to the
supposition that right-handedness is
merely fashion, in which all are train
ed !; but if so it is very ancient and very
nearly universal fashion. The evidences
of all ages point to it as general among
all races. From the time of Aristotle,
philosophical attempts-none entirely
satisfactory-have been made to account
for this popularity of mankind. Prof.
Buchanan, of Glasgow, has thought it,
as we'll as the equally old and prevalent
custom Of carrying burdens on the left
shoulder, to be due to the lack of SYM
cry of the body, larger lung and liver
causing the right side to be heavier than
the left, and inducing greater muscular
development of the right limbs. Anorh-
er theory is founded on the fact that the
brain is composed Of two hemispheres,
which work the muscles cross-wise, SO
that disease or weakness on one side of
hemisphere effects the whole opposite
side of the body. Gratiolet and Broca
