An Historical Character.

The Boston Recoh tells an anecdote of
General Henry X. Oliver Of Salem, who Is
celebrated almost as much for his Wit as he
is as a composer Of church music. The
general and friend, who was a stranger in
Boston, were walking down Washington
street one afternoon when their attention
was attracted to very large man, wearing a
heavy blue overcast, who was approaching
He was a man who, from his enormous pro-
portions and great breadth Of stomach
would have been noticed anyw here, and
moreover, there were traces Of salt water
about him.
"Who is that man" inquired his friend
of General Oliver.
THAT man." said the general, as
suming very solemn look, sis 2O0O years
old"
"You surely cannot mean that" said the
other.
Il DO" replied the general land his name
is Paunchous Pilot"
The subject of the remark was one Of the
best-known pilots in Boston Bay.

On His Oats.

An anecdote is told Of the early days out
West when court was held in log tavern.
An adjoining log stable was used as Jail,
the stalls answering as cells for the prisoners
Judge Thompson was on the bench, and
in the exercise of his judicial functions Sc
verely reprlmanded two young lawyers who
mad got into personal dispute. A her
cueau woodsman, attired in red
flannel shirt, stood among the auditors il
the apartment. He was much pleased at
tine judges lecture having himself been
practicing at .'another ber''-and hallooed
out to his worship (who happened to be
cross-eved):
"Glve it TO EN-. old gimlet-eyes" y
"Who is that ?" demanded the judge
He of the flannel shirt, proud of being thus
noticed, stepped out from among the rest,
and, drawing himself up to his full height,
vocferated:
"lt's this here old hoss! :"
The Judge called out in peculiarly dry,
nasal tone i: "Sherif, take that 'old hoss.
put him in the stable aud see tha, he is
mot stolen before morning"

Telegraphing from Trains.

The method Of telegraphing to and from
moving trains i most interesting. The prn-
cip.e involved IN Phelps's iayention, which
IS now in successful use on part OF the New
York. New Haven and Hartford road, is in
ducton-the very thing which has hereto
fore been waste force and lmpedimen in
teiegraphy and telephony. Induction i, the
drawing Of messages from one wire to an
other when the. not connected either
iongitudnally or la,erally. To illustrate
how II works the following instance i. re-
lated The Hre over which the first teIe-
phonic communication between New York
and Chicago was held CHANGED 10 run paral-
lei with and about seven feet away from a
private telephone wire a mile long. 4 gem
tleman attempting to use the latter one
morning was a>toni,hed to hear in his teie-
phone the words "ii,lo Chicago" aud
long subsequent conversation carried on be-
tween Chicago and Jersey CITY This was
possible, net because his instrument was in
any way connected with the primary circuit.
bu Simply through an induced current which
was set up in his wire by the one seven feet
away. Now Mr.. Phelps has contrived
way to utilize this phenomenon. A wire in
closed in a wooden box to protect it, runs
along the ties. midway between the rails.
tuder the baggage car, and extending the
whole distance between the fore and aft
trucks, there is coil of wire suspended
about seven inches above the wire IN the
track. This coil extends through the
floor to an induction circuit of coiIed wire
in the car about a mile and half long
In this circuit telegraphic instruments are
placed. Messages are received and sent
to and from the central office. or other
offices on the line, and it is even possibl.
to send them from one moving train to
another. 1t is found in practice that
tie induced current is sufficiently strong for
practical working even when the coil and
main wire are several feet apart, as when on
parallel tracks. No difficulty of any mo-
ment is found to arise from the jarring and
jolting Of the car.

Temperance in New Hampshire.

Mr. Editor:
New Hampshire is generally spoken Of
as prohibition state" There is a string
ent prohibitory law on the statute book Of
New Hampshire, and ex-Gov. Bell SAYS, 81. is
sufficiently stringent to close up every grog
shop in the state But. unfortunately, the
law is not enforced, except in very few
cases. In all the cities and in nearly all
the towns liquor is sold as openly and freely
as though the sale was licensed by the state.
If rumseller is indicted he is quite sure
no, to be convicted. The people quite gem
orally blame the attorney, or solicitor" as
he is called in this state. What seems very
strange to me is the fact, that the people
will elect solicitor year after year, who
fails to do his duty Old cider is doing as
much injury in this state, as "Jones' Ale" or
bourbon whiskey. We have many temper
ance organizations. but they make but little
headway, against the unlawful traffic in
strong drink. We have conventions and
lectures, but not many converts. We have
temperance workers all over the state, but
we have not earnest and efficient officers,
whose duty it is to enforce the law, and so
suppress the unlawful traffic in intoxicating
drink. In this regard, Maine is far in ad-
vance of New Hampshire. We have lap,
but not the officers who are willing to en-
force it. H.ME.

Hawf a Dollar.

Some wears ago there lived in village
when is now included within the limits Of
Boston, blacksmith whom We will call
Green. Oue day new customer, but not
stranger to the old gentleman, drove up.
His name was Blodgett, but he had passed
a season abroad and had returned considers
bv Frenchifed, as well as Anglicised, and
his name had been transformed into Blogee.
He wanted a shoe set, and after the Job had
been completed in the usual excellent man.
ner, he inquired taking out his purse):
'Aw, how much is the chawge, Mr..
Green? ?"
The reply came short and sharp, "Half a
dollar"
"Hawf dollar hawf dollar! Wby.
weally. I've been out of the country so long
that | don't know what hawf dollar is.
don't you know" answered Mr. Blogee
handing over a dollar bill.
The blacksmith stood moment in speech
less amazement; then thrusting the bill in
to one pocket he brought forth quarter
from another, and handing it over to Blogee
with the remark, 81 thought every darned
fool knew a half dollar was seventy five
cents" marched back to his forge.

Thought the Old Nick Had Him.

The lIaverhill Bulletin says that one day
last week workman in shoe factory at
that city, purchased live rooster, which be
put in a box covered with cloth for safe
keeping. In the course of the afternoon
chanticleer managed to get out of his cage,
and when the owner endeavored to catch
him, flew across the apartment and aighted
upon the mead Of an elderly man, who was
buslly engaged in mailing heels. The bird,
which weighed some five or six pounds,
struck hard upon the bald pate of the as
tonished workman. and used his claw. quite
freely in the effort to retain his balance. The
mailer threw down his hammer and jumped
to one side in perfect paroxysm of fright
He afterwards said that he thought for a
moment that the Old Nick had got him in
his clutches.

an average about s30000 year. 1t is grand
work. viewed from whatever standpoint.
Christianity, patriotism and philanthropy NIL

The American Missionary Association dis

colored school children and by the Indians dur
ing the past years. Upon long tables are
ranged for examination, books in use, neatly
bound, copy-books and innumerable specimens
of drawing fancy work, knitting and plain
sewing, also agricultural and blacksmithing
specimens from various training schools.
Straight University, which has nearly Gpu
pupils, sends examination pamphlets. num-
Der OF pictures and silk embroidery; also, large
numbers OF imaginary letters written by pupils
from various parts of the world. The visiting
public read these letters with a. much ayiiity

"A few remarks on the care of watches
are made BY writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. A good watch should be oiled
once year and cleaned once in three years.
If jeweler tells you that there is some very
serious trouble or break in your watch,
which will cost several dollars to get re-
paired, ask him to take the watch "down"
and let you see the trouble. 1t is better to
wind ones watch in the morning than in the
evening, since if you wind at night and ex-
pose the watch to the cold, the chilling Of
the tightly wound handspring may break it.
Frequently empty out the dust that accum-
ulates SO quickly in your watch pocket. 1t
will not injure the watch or clock to turn
the hands backward.
