Whenever Mr. Gladstones enemies can think OF
no othor method of irritating him, they revive the
oft-repeated rumor that he has become a convert
to the Church of Rome During his recent visit
to Munich the announcement was made by certain
Tory journals that he had actually become a
mepber Of that communion. As there was not the
senderest foundation for the rumor. Mr. Glad
stone greatly oxasperated by the publication
of this idle tale and denied 1t with characteristic
emphasis pronouncng it " mise able aud coward

upon some of the more sensitive mem bers OF that
communion took offence. 1t perhaps proper,
writes Sir Stephen t. De We're to The irish Times.
for HIM to term the report miserab bic and
cowardly falsehood, but he had no right to use the
word calumniousn since that word involved the
imputation of disgrace criminal action. He
was justified, in a word, in saying that 1t was lie.
but he ought not to have insulted the Roman
Catholic Church by the inference that it would be
a dscredtable act for HIM to become convert to
it. Poor ar. Gladstone! He cannot indulg e
himself in the luxury OF using strong language
abont barefaced lie without exposing himself
to hypercrtica censure.

A Fraud Exposed.

Only last year appeared the book
of Hon. { p A. N. Cole, Wellsville, N.
Y, entitled "New Agriculture or the
Waters Led Captive" The subject
matter was descriptive of the way in
which the honorable ~ gentleman
had overcome the disastrous effects
of drouth and made the waters do
his bidding in the production of i'm
mense crops during the dryest of sea-
sons. Oe course could this be done
by a patented system, both 1t and the
descriptive book would haveimme
sale, although the ditching and tilling
in preparing the land was very ex.
pensive. The theory was that by this
system water was kept in the under.
drains and appropriated by the
plants when needed. So far, so good
Wellsvillc, though, is supplied with
water through mains which pass moi
far from this successful "Hill-sidt
Farm" of Hon. (?) A. N. Cole. Fol
many weeks the Water Company
sought for the cause of the mystic
rlous waste in their water supply
during the last years drouth, and a
last traced it to the tapping of theil
hydrant by Cole. This accounted
| not only for the loss of the water bu
also for the wonderful growth of Mr.
Coles crops. Thus endcth the pros
perity of "The Waters Led Captive.

How a Soldier Ran Away to Sea

One hundred and nine years ago,
in the month of February, 1777, a
young French guardsman ran away
TO sea.
And most singular running away
it was. lie did not wish to be sail
or, but he was so anxious 10 60 that
he bought ship TO run away in-for
he was very wealthy young man /;
and though he was only nineteen, he
held commission as major-general
in the armies of a land three thousand
miles away-a land he had never seen
and the language of which he could
not speak. The King of France COM
manded him to remain at home his
friends and relatives tried to restrain
him; and even the representatives, or
agents, of the country in defense of
which he desired TO fight would not
encourage his purpose. And when
the young man, while dining at the
house of the British Ambassador to
France, openly avowed Ills sympathy
with downtrodden people, and his
determination to help them again
their freedom, the Ambassador acted
quickly. At his request, the rash
young enthusiast was arrested by the
French Government, and orders were
given to seize his ship, which was
awaiting him at Bordeaux. But ship
and owner both slipped away, and,
sailing from the port of Pasajes in
Spain, the runaway, with eleven chos-
ell companions, was soon on the sea,
bound for America, and beyond the
reach of both friends and foes.
On April 25, TIT, he landed at the
little port of Georgetown,at the mouth
of the Great Pee Dec river in South
Carolina; and from that day forward
the career of Marie Jean Paul ioch
Yves Gilbert Montier, Marquis de La
Fayette, has held a place in the histo-
~ of America, and in the interest and
affection of the American people,

A POOR WOMAN.
How "Uncle Stead" Managed to Save Cart
age Charges.

How "Uncle Stead" Managed to Save Cart
age Charges.
"Uncle Stead'' is what they called a
shrewd old gentleman who used to live
in Winthrop, little way out of the vii
lage, up the side of the pond, near
Readlield. One Of his fellow-citizens
was man named Lovejoy. Uncle
Stead met Loyejoy in the village one
day, and he said to him: "Lovejoy,
there's a poor woman lives out on the
edge of the town that needs some pro-
visions. willing to supply her, but
I've sold my horse and have no means
of getting the stuff to hor. Now, III
buy her barrel of flour and ham ant
some other supplies if you'll carry
them out to her with your team"
Lovejoy said certainly he'd be yer,
glad to do it. Accordingly. Uncl,
Stead bought barrel of flour, a ham
bucket of sugar, ETC., and. telling
Lovcjoy where the woman lived, sen
him off ON the errand of charity witt
the good things in his pung.
Lovejoy easily foundthe house wher
the woman lived. He unloaded tn
goods, putting like a grampus as h
rolled the barrel of flour in, and sal,
to the woman: "Mr. Steadman sen
you the provisions. He's might.

"Well, don't know why h

the woman in surprised accents. "He'

A Most Remarkable Case.

During the summer of 1884, suffer-
ing from blood poisoning, the result
of gtn-shot wound received during
the "late unpleasantness," my atten-
ton was called to the remedy of S. S.
S, through the public press, and l
wrote to the proprietors of that med
icine, describing my case, which 1 re-
peat for the benefit of other sufferers.
The ball struck the elbow joint and
went through. 1t completely crushed
all the articnlative surface of the hui
neral so that both condyles and say
four inches of the shaft of the bone
were removed by the surgeon. 1t
also severed the ulner nerve. The
operation leftthe arm much shortened
and timber, but it was very useful.
Some time in the fall of 1879 it COM
menced to swell and intlame below
the elbow, and soon after it suppu-
rated and discharged horribly oflen-
sive matter. The bone spread until
the entire fore arm was putrid mass,
encroaching both on the back and
/ palm of the hand. l was warned by
the surgeons that this might happen
in after life from nerve and blood
poverty below the elbow. My condi-
ton may be imagined at that time

A GREAT TELESCOPE.

Alvan Clark's Crowning Work-Bringing
the Moon within Hundred Niles.
The largest refracting telescope in
the world is now in process Of construc-
tion in the modest workshop of the
venerable Alvan Clark, the eminent
telescope maker, in Henry street, Cam
bridgeport, Boston. The two disks of
glass 90 to form the lens of the great
Lick telescope which win be placed in
the observatory on the peak of Mt.
Hamilton. n bequest of the California
millionaire, james Lick These two
circular glasses are valued at $25, 900
each, and il destroyed they could not
be duplicated within the next six
months for millions of dollars. The
disks were cast in Paris, the order
being given five years ago but the fail
urcs were so numerous that they were
not received by Messrs. Clark until
last September. When finished the
lens will be thiry-six inches in dame
ter, six inches wider than the one they
recently completed for the Russian Gov
ernment. Since receiving the blocks last
September, Mr.. Clark and his sons have
been constantly at work upon them.
but they do not expect to have them
completed much before fall. When
completed the two lenses will weigh
about 700 pounds. The work of polish
ing the disks has reached that stage
where the removal of few grains
more or less from the wrong place
would ruin them. The only instru-
ment used is the hand smeared with
rouge, a polishing substance finer than
the finest emery.
Some idea of the power of the instru-
ment may be gained from the state
ment recently made by an astronomer,
that gazing at the moon, 100000 miles
away, that orb by this telescope will
be brought to within less than one
hundred miles from the eye of the be-
holder. Mr.. Clark is eighty-two years
of age. He and his wife on March 2i
celebrated the sixtieth anniversary o.
their wedding. He was born in Ash
field, Mass, and brought up a farmers
boy, but his self-taught skill gained hin
situation as an engineer, at the age O
TWENTY-FIVE, in Lowell calico mill
Ten years later he had become a minia
ture painter in Boston, with a studio il
Court street. All the time that he wa
painting these portraits he was grind
ing away at lenses for pastime, ant
when the daguerreotype threatened tn
extinction of the portrait-painting pro
fession he stepped into telescope max
ing Chicago Inter Ocean.

ROOTS FOR SWINE.


Some of the Cheapest and Most Nourish-
ing Messes for Hogs.
The spring is the time to discuss the
importance of growing roots for the
hogs as the fall usually finds the farm
er too late in the season to make
amends for any negligence during tho
spring. The best and most profitable
root crop for the hogs is the sugar
beet. 1t should be put in the ground
early, so as to get good start, and
when the crop is ready for harvesting
it should be stored in manner so that
the roots can be fed every day. The
old plan of storing them in mounds
only to have them sealed up, and out
of use, is passing away. All the root
crops can be stored in bins in the barn,
with layers of dry dirt or sand between
the roots, and they will not only keep
well, but be within easy access of the
farmer at all times. The sugar beet is
very rich in sugar, and will conse-
quently not only act as dietary por-
