MISS BAYARD'S DEATH.

The Secretary's Eldest Daughter Elk.
pires Suddenly of Heart Disease.
Miss Katherine Bayard, the eldest daugh-
ter Of the secretary Of state, was to have as
sisted Miss Rose Cleveland, the Presidents
sister, at her afternoon reception in the exec
utive mansion on the 10th When Miss Anne
Bayard called Miss Katherine, about 2
O'Clock, to prepare for this duty, the silence
OF death was the response to the voice Of that
sister.
Since her father became secretary Of state
the burdens Of social duties incident to this
honorable position had mainly devolved upon
Miss Bayard, for the mother has been in ILL
health for some time At this season, when re-
.ceptionsar occurring nearly every night, Miss
Bayard had made it rule not to rise
until two o'clock in the afternoon, that at
least she might have the recuperating benefit
of long rest after each fatiguing night
The blinds were closed and the room was
.darkened by curtains that the light Of day
might not interfere with her sleep. 70 the
warming that she had no time to lose If she
intended to be at tho White House at 8
o'clock there was no reply. The curtain was
then drawn aside and the blinds opened to
aid the sister in rousing her. Apparently
-oA40 "osS eo1cOEs 44OA AcSSO "oeo VOL LII ooo
there was stiffness about the body that ex-
cited the worst suspicious. Her father and
the family doctor were hastily summoned,
but the latter decided that the unfortunate
young Lady had been dead for several hours,
having succumbed to heart disease, to
which she had been subject for some time.
Miss Bayard had assisted her father and
mother at the secretary's usual Friday night
reception during the evening, and when ihe
retired complained of feeling tired.
Miss Bayard was the only lady invited to
receive with Miss Cleveland. When the sad
news Of her death was received the many
ladies who had already arrived at the White
House were shocked beyond expression, and
the reception was at once postponed. The
President also cancelled an engagement to at
tend theatre party during the evening, and
the White House was ordered closed.
Miss Bayard was one Of the leading figures
In Washington society, her beauty, wit and
charming manners attracting much attention
at all entertainments where she appeared
She was the pride Of her parents, and her un-
timely death creates widespread sympathy
for the bereaved family. Her burial took
paace at Wilmington, Del

How Drunkards are Made.


At a meeting in Philadelphia, during
the week of prayer, one of the speak
ers related this incident:
A lad was approached by one of
those dispensers of that which deprives
men of their property and destroys
both body and soul, who solicited him
to come into his place of destruction
and take glass of lemonade. The boy
hesitated, but on being assured that
he would get nothing but glass of
nice, sweet lemonade, he was induced
to 60 in. Sure enough, he was offered
what had been promised him and moth
ing more. This was repeated several
timeS till at length, the trap having
been set, it was now time to spring it.
Accordingly, the rum-seller began his
work by dropping into the glass of
lemonade one drop Of strong liquor, in
creasing it so as imperceptibly to form in
the lad taste for it. As the boy never
paid for his drinks, one Of the old GUS
toners of the place asked the landlord
why he so favored him. He replied by
saying, 'Do you see that fine mansion
upon tn hill yonder2 That belongs to
the boys father, and will probably soon
belong to him, and then in turn it may be-
long to me-"
Fiendish! Horrible! A long-headed,
decp-laid scheme to ruin family and rob
them of their property; for certainly such
scheme, if successful, could be looked
upon as nothing less than downright rob-
berry, and as much penitcntiary offence
as any ther kind of robbery. But are
not all rumsellers alike in this respecti
They do not care who is hurt, who comes
to grief, who suffers the pangs of hunger
and cold, who goes to home of sorrow
and wrctchedness, whose children cry for
bread, or whose wife is abused, or beaten.
or murdered, so they but fill their own
Golfers and live on the fat of the land
Ezchan0e.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The Indians of Mexico illumine Their
path by night with phosphorescent in
sect which is far more brilliant than ouI
FREELY. They feed their lights on sugar
cane instead OF from the kerosene oil can,
and increase their brilliancy by dipping
them in water. These insects are said to
afford light enough to read by.
DR.. @. Heitzmann, of New York, an ex-
pert microscepist, claims that, by an ex-
animation of the blood of any person, he
can discover whether the blood be pure
or not, whether there be any latent i'm
purity or hereditary disease which should
render the person an unfit subject for
life-insurance or even for matrimony.
Somebody says in London paper that
the highest velocity yet impaired to cam
non hall is 1895 feet per second, equal to
a mile in 3.2 seconds. The velocity of the
earth at the equator, due to rotation on its
axis, is 1000 miles per hour, or mile in
3.6 seconds; thus, if cannon ball were
| fired due west and could maintain it's
initial velocity, it would beat the sun in
its apparent journey around the earth.
An area of about four and one-half
square miles forms the nucleus of the
whole oil-bearing region of the Caucasus.
The naptha- bearing beds consist of sand,
calcareous clays, marls, and in places
compact sandstone, often of great thick
ness and penetrated by bands of pyrites.
As in Pennsylvania, the naphtha is in some
places associated with salt water, which
gives much trouble in driving bore holes.
The plateau is on level of about 40
feet above the surface of the Caspian and
depth of 700 feet below that great lake
has been reached by the borers.
The apparent phenomenon by which
/ the sun and moon in rising or setting seem
greatly enlarged, says stroobart, IS the re-
suit of causes, both purely physiological
one, the greater sensitiveness of the eye to
angular magnitudes near the horizon; the
other, direct effect of the feeble light in
the enlargement of the pupil, which, it
would seem, tends to magnify objects,
even when artifcially produced. Thus it
is shown by experiments that the distance
between two luminous points within
room suffers the same apparent change as
in the consultations, when, without alter
ing the distance from the eye, the altitude
is gradually increased.
1t is stated in forei gn exchange that
a company is about to establish large
works at St. Petersburg for the purpose Of
making rails from paper. The paper is
subjected to great pressure, and it is said
that the material is extremely durable, and
can be produced at one third the cost of
steel rails. A further advantage would be
in their lightness, not only on account of
the saving of the cost of carrying and lay
ing, but also because they could be made
in longer lengths than is the case at the
present time, therefore the number of
joints will be fewer, and consequently less
oscillation to the carriages, and the wear
and tear to both permanent way and roll
ing stock reduced to minimum. A
greater adhesion also would be offered by
these rails to the driving wheels of the
engine, and the working expenses reduced
accordingly.

The efforts of the Law and Order
league to surprcssi the sale of liquor in
this town have been not only commend
able but successful to an encouraging cx-
tent. No doubt considerable quantity
of liquor is still sold, but with great cal-
ton and to regular customers who can
be relied upon not to expose the dealer.
1t has been proved that liquor selling can
be restricted; and we are glad that there
arc men in Marblehcad who are not afraid
to hunt down the liquor traffic, in the
face of criticism, Indifference and oppo-
sition. Let the league have the support
of temperance board of selcctmcn and
we shall see better condition of things
another year. Words Of Cheer, Marble
head. Mass.

The Cost Of 1t,

The venerable Archdeacon Bardsley has
put the financial aspect of the drink
question in very striking way in a
speech. He said "Regarding the sub
ject from a financial point of view, if
they took the Bible, and began with the
first letter, and went right on to the end
of Revelation, they would find there
were about 100000 letters. They
might then place forty sovereigns on
the top of each letter before they had
the sum spent annually in the country
for drink. During the years 1855 and
1877, 1882, 900, 900 were spent for drink.
To cart that sum of money they would
require 2,716 carts, each cart being
loaded with ton and quarter of gold
sovereigns. That would give process
sion twelve miles long. The amount Of
grain used for brewing purposes per
year, if turned to good account, would
make III four-pound loaves for every
family in Great Britain. Merchants and
others were crying hard times, hard
times, and complaining of over-produc-
ton. This, at first sight, seemed true,
but if the money spent in drink were
used in clothing the poor women and
children to be found in large towns, over
production would be done away with. ~

NEW STATES.

A Chance for Three Territories-Po-
sitiOn of Senator Voorhees,.
United States Senator Voorhees,, who has
introduced bills to admit Montana and Wash
angton Territories to the Union, has been
asked by Washington correspondent if he
intended to make the admission Of Dakota
conditional on the admission of Montana as
it has been reported that the Democrats were
disposed to do. He replied; 81 can speak
only for myself. I think the best arrange
ment that we can make is to admit Da-
kota, Montana and Washington together
They must all come in soon, and they
might as well come in now. do not see
how we can prevent Dakota's coming in She
has a voting population of $4,000, and is
certainly entitled to admittance. l thought
at first that I should oppose the division Of
Dakota, but do not see how can The
Territory has an area of five times my own
State, and South Dakota will be about as
large as Ohio and Indiana. Montana has q
voting population of $4,000 and Wash
ington voting population Of 4O,-
600. There are not fifteen con-
gressional districts in the country with the
population Of Washington, and not a hundred
with that of Montana. Dakota is Republican
Montana is Democratic, and am confident
will remain so. Washington is close and may
be won by either party. If she comes into the
Union by Democratic votes under Demo-
cratic administration, our chances in the new
State will be all the better. 1t seems to me
much the best plan to take in these three Ter
ritories at once. They are entitled to it,
and politically it will be as fair and equitable
an arrangement as can be made"
Several prominent Democrats are reported
to agree with Mr.. Voorhees, Mr.. Springer
expresses the opinion that the House COM
mittee on Territories will report favorably
on the division and admission Of Dakota un-
less the party shall hold caucus upon the
subject. In that event it is his opinion that
the decision would be adverse.

With eyes that with weeping were red,
A woman sat till the hours Of morn,
Waiting his coming with dread.
Wait! wait! waitI
TIL tt heart is ready TO sink,
And still In sad, despairing tone,
Shesang the Song Of the Drink.
DRINK drink! drink
While the sun is rising high,
And drink! drink drink
Till the stars are in the sky.
It Is obi TO be carried in strife
Away BY some barbarous band,
Rather than live drunkards sad wife,
In the nui<ist Of this Christian land.
Drink drinkt drink

Drink drinkE drink!
Till he wallows in the mire,
Rum, and brandy and gin,
Gin, and brandy, and rum,
Till in the gutter he falls asleep;
And waaty but he does not come.
Oh, men enriched by the drink,
Men whose Golfers are filling UP,
Not drink alone are you dealing out,
But skeleton in the cup.
You sell! sell! selll

Swallowing at once, with double gulp,

Reports frem almost every quarter are
being daily received showing conclusive
evidence that the liquor element is be-
coming alarmed at the rapid progress
made by the temperance advocates. They
have deemed it imperative to organize
themselves and prepare for an aggressive
ly defensive campaign. Let them pro-
ceed. The more they agitate the more
will the iniquitous system be shown up
in its true light, and the patriotic public
will demand its total extinction. - Vest
