A SABBATH SUNSET.
"peacc Is on the world abroad


It is beautiful Sabbath sunset and we
stroll over the hills for little walk it is
an hour of holy contemplation, when tho
world and its six day cares and anxieties
are forgotten for little season, and the
mind seems free to muse on the beauties
of nature, made moro beautiful by the
rays Of the setting sun. How lovingly his
failing beams seem to linger ON each fa-
miliar object--then only on those moro
elevated, till at last all are covered in one
vast shade except tho distant hill tops
which seem to reach the verge Of tho
heavens above them. Is this not u Citing
emblem of the hour Of the faithful chris
tian's departure from the scenes Of NOR
tai care and conflict? How full of tondor-
ness seems zach parting injunction-how
mildly and lovingly the eye rests on each
weeping loved one around them, till the
spirit seems to lose sight Of all but higher
objects and turns its gaze heavenward,
till tho pearly gates are opened to its adj
mittance. How wildly comes back to me
the remembrance of one thus departed,
cheercd by immortal hopes one around
whose memory rests brighter halo than
even that which tells where tho sun has
reflected his glory and sunk to rest In
deed many of us harbor such angelic re-
memberances. The twilight has now sue
ceeded the sunset shadows and the stars
that shine SO bright in heavens blue vault
seem like spirit-eyes of loved ones gone
before, sent once again to cheer our earth
ly way, and light the path to heaven !
Truly the christians death is like the
beautiful Sabbath sunset which we love
to gaze upon and admire. Listen the
spirit voices are Whispering
$50 live. that when thou, too, art called TO die.
TO bid farewell to earth, thy closing eye
MAY rest ON heaven, thy SUMS last setting ray,
Shine bright with hope Of an immortal day.

Wednesday, April %. 1885.

The nomination of Hon. John Car
penter, editor Of the Clinton Democrat
for Commissioner of the State Sinking
Fund, was not confirmed by The Senate
AS VIC understand 1t, this was not done
because of any personal objection to Mr..
Carpenter, but on account of the opposi-
ton of one of the Democratic factions Of
this county which is aptagonistic to Mr..
Carpenter. We regret that it has been
his misfortune to be shelved. He would
have made an efficient Commissioner.

THE JANEwAY VERDICT. The verdict
in the late Janeway trial, FOR damages in.
CURED by the coal oil fire which was coca
stoned by the Penna. r. r. accident at
New Brunswick, is said to have been as
follows: Damages and interest, $780,
1926. 10; money paid out, $11, $50 10; pro-
fits, $1,000; total, $179, 806 80. The
profits were estimated from the time of
the fire until the 9th of May, the day the
writ was served on the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. 1t is expected that
the case will be appealed, but the Com
pany must give bonds for double the
amount of the verdict, and also pay inter-
est on the amount until the case is settled

"The five per cent. bill has been killed,
or at least effectually sat upon by the

ried with him seven of his party associates.
These eight, with Senator Moon, endeay-

fortunately were one vote short, the vote
being nine for and ten against calling the
bill from its slumbering place. It is to
be regretted that one more Democratic
Senator could not be found to vote with
honest independent Moon. We ought to
have more such Moonlight The vote
was as follows Yeas--Earter Cranmer,
Haines, Herring, Large, Moon, Nichols,

The Big Gun of the Future,

Long range guns are SO rapidly being de-
veloped that the rotundity Of the earth is
Offering serious impeachment to correct
artillery practice, as target placed at the
extreme limit of the range is necessarily
below the horizon. A gun, therefore, whose
range is fifteen miles is supposed to
be the most perfect instrument of war
that can be devised. This is an error. Let
us continue in enlargement until we ebtain a
gun whose range is 1900 miles, It could be
mounted like the Lick telescope, with equa-
torial mountings, and be loaded and aimed by
a corps OF competent astronomers. Suppose
we were involved in a controversy with Ger
many over the ibels which that nation has
published on the American hog.
Our ultimatum having been sent and war
declared, the astronomers, knowing the long
itude and latitude of Berlin, could accurately
train the gun; the mathematical corps COM
pute the number of grains of powder neces-
sary to impel the projectile; the engineer
time the fuse with accuracy, and work out
the trajectory; and the electrical corps fire
the several cubic miles of powder at the pre-
else moment appointed by the secretary of
war for hostilities to begin. The missile
would clear all friendly and neutral nations,
land Immediately in the center of the doomed
city, and insure peace by leaving no German
alive. There are some few mechanical diff
culties yet to be overcome before this gun can
be properly constructed, but believe it will
yet prove to be the gun Of our national arm
ament.-Henry Guy Carleton in Scientific

The Tale OF tho sswins-Machine.

The romantic tale Of the sewing machine
has been often told, but it deserves repetition
It runs something like this: Thirty six years
ago Isaac NJ. Singer, then young mechanic
Of inventive genius, through the suggestion of
q friend examined one of those rude attempts
at sewing-machine construction which was on
exhibition in Boston. 1t was All utter failure.
Young Singers quick eye saw its faults and
he thought that he detected remedy He
drew design, which he submitted to his
friend But there was no money with which
to build the model, and the young mans
heart sank. Finally one friend lent him $40
and another offered him the use Of his
machinery and tools and workmen. Days
with little food and nights without sleep this
tireless worker toiled.
At last the model was completed and its day
of trial came. It failed. Sick at heart, he
brooded over it until midnight, when with one
faithful companion-an the rest had deserted
him-he started, almost desperate, for his
home Wearied and disconsolate, the two
rested on pile of boards and talked over the
failure, when his comrade said: "The loose
loops of thread are all upon the upper side of
the cloth" The young inventor saw the
trouble in twinkling, and together they re-
entered the deserted workshop, a little tension
screw was tightened, and for the first time in
the history of the world the sewing machine
was successful and accomplished fact
