"A Undue Monument.
From the Springfield Rennb,icanl

From the Springfield Repub icanl
The last stone OF the Masonic MOnu-
ment on Birds Mountain, in Castle
ton, VT, has been finished recently,
thus completing the monument just
100 days from the time it was first
proposed. The monument stands at
an elevation of $500 feet above the
level of the sea, and is plainly seen
from wherever the top of the mount
ain is visible. It is 1 5 feet in height,
including the base, and IL feet inches
from the base OF the capstone. The
shaft is composed of individual blocks
contributed by Master Masons, ISL in
number and representing ffty-two
lodges from ten states and the Domin-
ion of Canada. The blocks are OF
various colors, and many are gilded
and Ornamented with various Mason
ic emblems, in addition to the name
of the donor and the number of his
lodge. Surmounting these Individual
blocks and placed one on each corner,
are the four blocks presented by four
chapters. All are of white marble,
and on each is engraved the name OF
the chapter and it's officers. Between
these blocks on each side are the four
tablets of colored stone presented by
four corresponding councils, all suita
bly, engraved with appropriate en-
blems and inscriptions. Resting on
these stones is the capstone of Waldo
marble, composed OF nine different
pieces.

Large Number of Wrecks and Many
Lives Lost.

A Large Number of Wrecks and Many
Lives Lost.
A large number of disasters are re-
ported as a result Of the recent heavy
gales and vessel-nen fear that many
more remain to be heard from. Dis
patches had been received expressing
fears for the safety of the steambarge
Bessemer and her crew of fifteen men,
but later intelligence gives assurance
OF her safety. The barge Irorton, Of
Bafalo, was VIZ, OK d On Like Sd
perior, but her crew escaped. The
schooner Ellen Spry foundered in Lake
Michigan, but her crew are safe. The
schooner Detroit sank lear the foot
OF Lake Michigan, and her crew es-
capped. The schooner City of Sheboy-
gan foundered in Lake Huron, and
one life was lost. Besides these there
are many minor disasters, and with
those remaining to be heard from, it
will not be surprising if the losses
reach into the hundreds of thousands,
while the sacrifice of life may not be
known for some time.

MES. PARSONS LECTURE.

The Chicago Anarchists Wife Makes q
speech in Cooper Union, New York.
A large audience listened in Cooper
Institute Hall, New York, on the night
of the 4th, to a lecture by Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, wife of the Chicago Anarchist
now under sentence of death. Lean
der Thompson presided and read a
resolution which was adopted. 1t
condemned Judge, jury and police who
figured in the Chicago trial as violaters
of the constitution Of the United
States. Mrs. Parsons said she
had not come before the country to
take back one word that she had
spoken or to offer any apology for the
convicted Anarchists because she be-
lieved, when public passion had SUBJ
sided, there would be a. reaction in
their favor. She alluded to what she
termed the ''factory czar," the rail
road king, the mine baron, all of whom
ground the bones of little ones to make
diamonds for their pampered daugh-
ters. Mrs. Parsons referred to Henry
George and said he was O. noble man
who had girded on his armor to fight
for liberty. She concluded by saying
that Capt Bonfeld might have thrown
the fatal Haymarket bomb for he had
threatened the Anarchists.

The other day, a fair, though near-
sighted dame dropped IN to see a
friend who is distinguished for the ar
tistic gloom of her drawing room. To
say the apartment is dark and
crowded with works of art is to put
it mildly. Well, this lady CROPPED her
way to coy corner by the fireplace
and sat down to await the owner Of
the mansion. After O. moments re-
pose, feeling that a certain portion of
her attire was slipping down, she
thought she would arrange it, so she
did as most ladies do under the circum-
stances-stuck her pretty foot upon g.
neighboring chair and-"Hem! The
shock was tremendous, but she didn't
scream or swoon! The chair was oc-
cupied by another caller, a gentleman,
who has lived to tell the tale, which
he embellishes in way to drive g.

Living Without Food.
From a Sharon. fPa.A snecia1

From Sharon, (Pa.) Special
Thepublic mind, much as it has been
astonished and bewildered during the
last year Or SO by press reports Of the
wonderful progress accomplished in
the science of medicine, may now pre-
pare itself for a revelation still more
startling. After devoting nearly twen-
ty years to the study of the action of
food upon the human system DIR. r.
Z. Fisher became absorbed with the
idea that If there could be discovered
a nutriment chat would sustain the
strength of an invalid during a fast
sufficiently prolonged to avoid the in
reference caused by the process of d.
gestlon, and thus give free action to
specific medication, the latter would
then be able to perform all that it's
votarles claimed for it. Possessed
with this idea the student exerted all
his energies in his efforts for discover
ing the nutriment of such reviving
nature, and, after the period above
mentioned, the revelation vas brought
about In a manner wholly unexpected.
He at once set about subjecting his
discovery to a repetition of expert
ments, and the results surpassed the
most sangulne anticipations. By it's
use the dlscOverer was enabled to fast
for several weeks. during which time
he subjected himself to heavy physical
exercise each day. True his flesh de.
creased, but his strength remained en-
tirely unimpaired. The discovery was
made three years ago and has been
tested hundred of times. DR.. Fisher
challenges any committee that may
be formed of intelligent practitioners
to submit to q thorough test, and will
accept public condemnation in the
event of failure on his part to prove
the efficacy of this nutriment as q
strength-sustainer during absolute alb
stinence from food. To reporter he
remarked that he was anxious to sub
lect himself to most severe test, con-
Quoted by scientific men, and would be
greatly pleased if the scientific men Sc

mittee were chosen by newspaper
authority. This he will do merely
in the interest of science. He is the
picture of health, standing erect, and
weighing nearly two hundred pounds.
He has nothing whatever to sell, and
in the cases where he effected almost
miraculous cures he refused remunera-
ton. He further states that after g.

Mormon Bigotry.
from the Salt Lake Tribune

From the Salt Lake Tr1bune.1
Down at Silver Reef g. boy has been
sick a long time. His father is Gen
tile, but the mother is devout Nor
mon. She wanted the priesthood to
"administer" to him. It happens
that in that Babylonian camp there
are not many wearing priestly
honors, and in seeking one for the
performance of this service one Mat
thews was chosen. He is an old rep
rebate, but like a good 'Saint" as
he is, he undertook the task of re-
storing health to the dying boy.
There was great amounting with oil,
and much ceremony and implorings,
but health did not come to the vast
ed form. Matthews offered as an ex-
cuse for the failure that the believing
father was present during the minis
trations, and further. that the oil used
in the amounting had been purchased OF
an ungodly GENTLE, and had not been
consecrated unto the Lord, so hesent
off ito the land of ST. George, where none
but those having the true gospel dwell,
and secured a new supply of the oil
of cotton-seed, which had been conse-
Grated. They, the faithful, gathered
at the house ofthe afflicted, and again
engaged IN the amounting. To make
sure this time none but the believers
were permitted to remain IN theroom.
The father being thus thrust out of
his house, went uptown and partook
of the spirit of the still until he was
unbalanced, and, returning home,
thrust open the door ofthe sick.room.
and with no uncertain language up
braided the participators in the ceremo-
MES, and, because the child is now
sickened unto death. Matthews and
his faithful servants ascribe the fail
ure of miracle to the fact that TN
believers were there.

Then Buffalo had 1000 people,
Cleveland about 1900, Ohio some

for the first time. the waters of Lake

I wish I had letter here written to
me by Mr.. Vinton in 1851 on this

find how Mr.. Vinton completely
blocked the scheme of Mr.. Calhoun.
1t is rather singular that [ have never

in any way by our public men OF our
historians. A few year ago, when in

the Senate. The legislative and sena-
torial tickets and q majority of the
other counties were carried by the
Democrats, so that there is little
doubt that they will have control of
the lower house of the general assem-
bly, and possibly of the senate. The

the state secretary, auditor and pos
sibly attorney general, are claimed by
the Democrats.
The Republican plurality for state

will stand as follows: Senate-Repub-
licans, 80; Democrats, 10; United

hibitionists, 2. The reelection of ex
