Oldest Chime OF Bells.

The Oldest chime of bells in America is
the chime of eight on Christ church, Salem
street, Boston. They were brought from
England in 1744, and were procured by
subscription, Mr.. John Rowe giving the
freight. They cost 1850; the charges
FOR wheels and putting them in place
were sos. The inscriptions on them are
as follows: The tenor first says: ''This
peal of eight bells is the gift of a number
OF generous persons to Christ church in
Boston, New England, Ammo 1744, A.
r." The second: '"This church was
founded in the year 1928, Timothy Gull
Ter, doctor in divinity, the first rector, A.
r. 1744." The third saysi 1--WE are the
first ring of bells cast for the British en-
pire in North America, A. r. 1744."
The fourth exclaims: God preserve the
Church of England, 1874" The fifth
commentaries civilian Shirley, Esq,
governor Of Massachusetts bay in n. E.,
Ammo 1744." The sixth bell tells us:
1.-THE subscription of these bells was
begun by John Hammock and Robert
Temple, church wardens, 1744." The
seventh says: "Since generosity has
opened our mouths, our tongues shall
read aloud its praise, 1744," and the
eighth concludes: "Abel Rudhall, of
Gloucester, cast us all, Ammo 1744."-

Calcutta cannot fairly be classed among
those places which attract one at first
sight. The Hooghly river, upon which
it stands, might more justly be called
the Ugly river, and the city itself is
merely a big, snowy, fiat, dusty, thor
oughly modern town, which, being
neither SO ancient nor so conveniently
situated as its two great rivals, Madras
and Bombay, might well seem to have
become the metropolis of India by mis-
take. But if there is not much romance
in its outward appearance there Is more
than enough in the associations connected
with it.
Not ten minutea' walk from this hotel
in which l write lies beneath the shadow
of the shining dome and iaunty pink col
umns of the new postofiice that fatal
spot where 1913 English prisoners died OF
~sutfocatlon in n night, cursing with
their last breath the savage despot whose
cruelty has handed down to remotest
ages the terrible name of the Black Hole
of Calcutta. In the very center of tho
b~ustling and populous business quarter
once stood, if native tradition may DO
trusted, the gloomy temple of the demon
who presides over secret murder, whence
the future capital took its name of "Kali
Kuttah" (Kali's shrine. David Ker in

QUIET RESTING PLACES.
Family Graves on an Old Farm The
Modern Cemetery.

Family Graves on an Old Farm The
Modern Cemetery.
Some of us, perhaps, may remember
to have seen n cluster of many family
graves in an uncultivated nook or dell Of
IN old farm, where some of the less COM
mercially valuable, but equally beautiful,
original timber trees have been allowed
to grow undisturbed, till their very size
makes the few brownstone grave slabs
seem modest and nesting to the ground,
and where, the cattle having been kept
out, the wood violet and other shy wild
plants add their delicate charms, while
they also mark the peaceful seclusion of
the spot. Such simple and yet dignified
rural furnishings are In harmony with
the purpose to which the place Is dedi-
Gated and to the feelings of the sympa-
thetic visitor to it, and leave the imagina-
ton free to conjure up, if it will, roman
tic visions of the past. In such a spot
the thought might easily occur to one
that here was indeed a restful place in
which to have laid away the mortal re-
mains of n few of those weary human
beings whose life struggle it was to sub
due nature to their own aims, and who
yet finally succumbed to her and whose
remains became a part of her.
How much more appropriate to their
lives are such graves, with such sur
r%oundings, than they would have been
i'll some great cemetery, where their
modest little gravestones would have
been put to shame by scores of big, star
ingly white Egyptian obelisks, broken
topped Greek columns, Roman urns,
weeping italian angels, Renaissance can
opies, Gothic spires, and all the other
binds Of uIayrrv - II
all restlessness and seclusion are anpihi-
lated by rows upon rows and scattering
swarms of factory made, white marble
gravestones. all set up on edge so as to be
as conspicuous as possible and looking as
if they would be heaved out of plumb by
every frost. Such stones have, in fact,
the very unmonumental quality Of being
in a state of unstable equilibrium.
And as if all these white monumen
and gravestones were not enough to
brighten nature into submission, innu-
merable fences are added, mostly of the
sort which may be described as the
'this-is-the-most-show you-can get-for-
~your-money'' cast iron fence. And, as
iron rusts into a color which is some
what harmonious with nature, such a
catastrophe is carefully avoided by paint
ing all ironwork a gloomy black, a vivid
white, or by gliding it, like a c~resting
over a chrome tea store. The managers
of cemeteries seem to be proud Of these
private fights with nature, and do all
they a to aid and abet them with their
ribbon gardening and by planting all the
most artificial looking specimens of ma
lures bright productions" that skillful
nurserymen can induce to grow. They
ave no limiting rules as to showiness,
but are only too glad to sell lots to those
who will spend most in making a show
that will advertise the cemetery.-J. c.
Olmstead in Garden and Forest.

TWO BATTLES.
The Fight Between Murphy and
Jack HaVlin
Declared a Draw After Forty.
Seven Rounds.
Jack Dempsey Knocked Out by
Gleason.
A Hard Fight.

NEW York, Aug. 2.-The interna-
tional fight between Frank Murphy of
England and Jack Havlin of Boston for
81 900 a side and the lightweight cham
plonshlp, came off this morning at Yer
planck's Point on the Hudson and ended
in a draw. The men fought forty nine
rounds, taking three hours and fifteen
minutes.
A tug started from Harlem with MUIR
ply and his party about midnight, steam.
ing down the East river, aud was Joined
at the Battery by a tug bearing Havlin
and his party. Both steamed up the
Hudson to the scene of the fight.
No time was lost ON arriving at the bat
tlefeld and ropes were quickly stretched
in the presence of about fifty spectators.
Murphy SHE'D his castor into the ring
at 5:35. He was dressed in white tights
and black shoes, with green and white
colors.
He was followed at 5:37 by Havlin, who
wore black tights and shoes.
Havlin was seconded by Geo. Young
and Jack Frazer. Murphy's seconds were
Jack McAuliffe and Jack Ashton.
Time was called at 5:44.
From the first the men fought hard,
Havlin landed first blow on Murphy's
chest and before it was returned landed
another on his check. He got in a third
blow on Murphy's neck as time was
called.
In the third round blood was claimed
and allowed for Murphy.
The fight went on with advantages
gained by either alternating in almost every
round and neither obtaining any the best
of the fight sufficient to change the bet
ting, which continued ever throughout.
The forty-seventh round was the sever
est in the battle and was a terrible hard
fought one considering the condition of
the men then.
Havlin was staggering around the ring
and Murphy was too weak to take adj
vantage of his condition.
At the end of the forty ninth round it
was plain that neither of the men pos
sessed sufficient strength to continue the
fight and the referee stepped into the ring
cision was conceded by all to be the only
one possible.
Throughout the fight Havlin received
nearly all his punishment about his face
and neck, and Murphy's body received
the greater portion OF the batlering adj
ministered to him.
At the close of the fight Havlin's left
eye was closed tight and his right was
almost gone, There was a big lump on
his right cheek, and a cut on the left side
of his face. The blood was streaming
down and covered his body.
Murphy had a cut under his right eye,
and his left closed. His forehead was a
mass of Jumps.
1t was difficult to say who was the most
used up.

We need and must have greater phys
ical endurance, stronger mental powers,
better executive ability. In the good
old time of slow communication, a
clever man competed with but a few of
his immediate neighbors, and easily rose
their superior. Now he finds in IN
field he enters thousands who contend
against him; he must, therefore, be bet
ter trained, and intellectually better
armed han his father before him was,
else, so far from making progress, he
cannot even hold his own, but must be
crowded out or trampled down in the
fierce contest for supremacy.-Frances

The Chicago Mystery.

CHICAGO, Aug. "A new phase of the
mystery attending the death of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hosch was developed to-day, The
pair were ardent believers in electricity
and both we're in the habit of taking cleo
trio baths and being treated by electrical
appliances. In the course of investiga-
tions at the house OF the dead couple a
battery was found this morning charged
so heavily hat a shock from it would
surely produce death, aud it is supposed
that Mrs. Hosch desired her husband to
treat her with the electric battery. This
he did and accidentally turned on the bat
terry at full strength, giving his wife such
a shock that she fell back dead. Realiz'
ing he had caused his wife's death, the
frantic man took his own life by hanging
himself in the doorway of his wife's bed
room.

Murder and Suicide.

PITTsBURG, Aug. Miss May Patton
OF Johnstown Pa, shot and killed Chas.
DeKnight, a well known young man Of
Lawrenceville this morning, and then
blew her brains out. The tragedy took
place at the Metropolitan hotel in this
city. The couple called at the hotel at
5 O'Clock this morning and Deknight
registered as g. Lewis and wife. They
were given a room, and nothing more was
heard from them until 9 o'clock when
the guests were startled by the report OF
pistol shots in quick. succession. The
hotel clerk ran to the room, but the door
was locked and it was necessary to break
it down to effect an entrance, when a
terrible sight met the clerk and guests
who came hurrying to the scene.
On the floor was Deknight dead, with
a bullet hole in his temple, and lying On
the side of the bed was the woman, also
dead, witch blood tricklirg from a wound
in her head and the revolver still tightly
clasped in her hand.
DeKnight was in street attire, but
women was in deshabille. 1t is supposed
that tkev quarrelled and that DeKnight
was about to leave the room when he was
shot. Both moved in good society. The
girl was the daughter OF a furniture dealer
at Johnstown and had always borne a
good reputation. She was quite hand
some and about 20 years of age, De.
Knight was a Pullman car conductor and
lived with his parents in Lawrenceville.
He was about "a years Of age.
