PARNELL,S REVENGE

Whether or not Mir Parnelrs ropos ed sui, against the London Times for elOO,- 900 damages be successful. the humilia ting position in which he has placed this great journal before the world will be ample revenge for the wrong that it was sought to do him. No amount of money that he could wiring from it would be equal to wiping out the dis grace that has already come upon the contemptible sheet.
 There is abundant justification for MT Parnells suit, but unfortunately there is less reason to hope that it will be successful. It will be all but impos- sible to get an English or packed Irish jury to give judgment against the paper and so knock the bottom out of the frail structure that now stands be- tween the Irish people and home rule. And yet to any reasoning, thinking man it is clearly apparent from the evidence already before the world that the Times proceeded in its libel on Mir Parnell with out any purpose or desire of knowing that it's charges were true. It went on with blind, malignant intent to blacken the character of the Irish leader and break down the cause of which he was the exponent and advocate, and to carry out its heinous design it grabbed at everything within its reach as drowning man clutches at straw. If it has been beaten it should be content to pay the reckoning. It should be satisfied to hand up the price of it's criminal confidence in men who had no other objt than sordid gain in their abuse of its own simplicity or care lessness. Through the machinati ons of the Times and its manipulations of the British judiciary, Mir Parnell and his friends in America have been put to an enormous expense, and the Times should be made to bear this. It should be made to realize that not even its own high standing in the journalistic world, backed as it was by all the power and money of the troy government, gave it license to blacken and defame the char acter of one of the most honorable and pure minded statesmen that draw the breath of life.
 It would be a strange retribution, yet one that would win the appreciation of right-thinking men the world over, if the ines should be forced to hand over el00, ,000 to Mir Parnell. And it would be a lesson, too, not without its signifi- canoe of warning to other British jour ing the cause that is bound to triumph because 1t is right.

Public Notice.

nR GILL would inform his patients and those D who desire to consult him, that he expects to be at his office, 55 South Main street, Sunday March F, and will receive callers fter ga. m. to D. m snd daily thereafter as before his Florida trip.
 Dr Gill has become permanent resident of Waterbury and pes no pers n desirous of em- ploying his skill of obtaining the benefit of his 9 years of continuous successful expe fence in the cure of Chronic Complaints and Female Dificultiee. will be influenced by the assertions of certain envious physicians. or their sisters their cousins and their aunts, or the frothings of any medical preten fer or quack.
 Dr Gill is an independent physician and though educated in the regular school of medicin. IS ECLECTIC in practice. He takes this oppor. tunity of expressing his regrets that urgent busi- ness required his presence in Florida and that he was obliged to disappoint so many persons in being absent from Waterbury month. For weeks before leaving his time was fully taken up with arapidly increasing practice. Af CT the 17th he knows of nothing that will prevent his being at his office all the time, during reception hours, and cordial invitation to all who desire consultation is extended.

capabilities for the internal routine of the postoffice may be good-they might even be extraordinary-but he comes into it not upon their account, nor even the deliberate and willing preference of the president He comes ill not upon his own merits, not as one equipped at all points for the direction of the vast appointment system of the postal service, but as the agent of Mir Quay, and the representative of Mir Quays purposes. And MT Quay is the organizer and direc- tor in Pennsylvania, as he presently may become in the nation, of that system of politics which begins with the ma chine and ends in jobbery and corruption. That he should have succeeded, in this critical time of republican trial, in dicta- ing the composition of the cabinet in the one department above all others service able to the spoilsseekers is a circumstance which is ominous, indeed, as sign of the new admins tration.'
 The country will very quickly find out, if it isn't thoroughly aware now, that Mir Wanamaker is at the head of the postofiice for purpose-and that purpose is to put the postotiices where they will do the most good for the re- publican machine. If the immortal Webster Flanagan will cast his eye in the direction of the postotiice depart ment, we think he will have no reason to blush for the quality of MT Wana- makers broom. There is going to be a sweep in that department that will raise the cookies in the heart of the average republican,.
 That's what Wanamaker is there for.

THE STONE FENCE.

New Hampshire on Tuesday declared for the stone fence that IS, it refused to prohibit whiskey. There is nothing pc culiar in that, as most states that look beyond their noses do the same thing.
 The peculiarity about New Hamp- shire's rejection of prohibition is that the granite state is solidly republican. It has been so for thirty years. And the republican party everywhere affects a deep sympathy with the temperance people, decrying the prohibition party as useless organization since its pur- poses can be achieved through the re- publican machine, and denouncing the democratic party as the friend and ad- vocate and copartner of rum. Of course the prohibitionists understand the republicans, and equally of course they are disgusted with them. They have new reason for their disgust in the returns from New Hampshire. These show that the republican districts returned large majorities against the proposed constitutional amendment pro- lOt ttliAi thS oiiir gains there were for the prohibition cause were from democratic localities. With a normal republican majority ill the state ranging from five to ten thousand there was a majority against the amend ment in the neighborhood of five thou sand
 Nobody can reasonably object to the repulse of the prohibitionists-they are visionary, impracticable, short-sighted cranks whose fanatical devotion to principle overshadows thelr reason. But in the light of the New Hampshire returns, in the light of the cold shoulder that has been given to tenn perance in every stronghold of republi- canism, it is time the temperance people opened their eyes to the hypocrisy of the republican party. It is time they recog- nized the fact that all the friendship it has for them is to secure their votes. When there is a chance to promote pro- hibition, to show practical sympathy and friendship for the principles of the temperance men, the republican party is s found wanting.
 Republicans love prohibition-for the other fellows. For themselves they pre- fer to stick to the stone fence.

WHAT HE Is THERE FOR.


 If, as certain republican and mug wump organs would have us believe, there are to be no politics in the post office department under Wanamaker. there is likely to be lively sense of dis appointment in certain republican quarters. Nobody believes, however, that this godly man and Sunday school politician paid $4O0, ,OOO for cabinet seat for the purpose of keeping lot of dem ocrats in office whose only recommend ation is their skill and expertness in the work required of them. MT Wanamaker, it is needless to remark, isn't built that way.
 However, if there remains any doubt of what Wanamaker is there for, it ought to be dispelled by the announcement of the Philadelphia American, a stl ong republican journal which has peculiar reasons for knowing. what it is talking about when it says: "Mr Wanamaker's

BUTCHERING STOCK.
Some Common Method on tho Farm
That Are to BE Avoided.

Some common on
That Are to BE Avoided.
Butchering time on the farm con-
tinues on various farms all winter.
Many farmers kill at several differ
ent times, that much of the meat may
be eaten. How often barbarOus and
disgraceful scene is witnessed when the
hog, after being let out, is chased per-
haps all over the garden, or some
field, or up and down the road, and
then staggers squealing while he
pours out his LIES blood after being
''stucl" until so weak that he falls.
Such things ought never to be seen or
heard in civilized age, and particu-
larly by children. The Mortified SEN
sibilities at first protest and then be-
come hardened to a revolving degree.
The dressing of pork is necessary and
can not be protested against, but that
the most expenditious and painless
mode be followed is only humane. A
box can be made of planks, having.
short legs and rods across the front
1t is made long enough for any
hog, and the weight should be regu-
lated by false side within, so that no
animal can turn over when once in it.
Place this over the hog, or back him
into : and put the rods in place.
Directly turn it over on its top, let the
knife do its work and right the box.
The last movement will place the hog
upon his feet, but no running and no
revolving sight need be witnessed,
while the bleeding will be perfect.
That the operation may be silent one,
it is desirable to first strike blow
upon the victims skull directly over
the eyes and midway of the face. AS
in the case of beeves, this produces a
stupor. and death is painless. The
blow can be administered directly by
a hammer, on metal rod or spike can
be placed upon the skull and then
strike one firm blow. The lat err is
found to be preferable where the box
is used. 1he pork will be in nc
way injured, &nd blood will settle only
where one stroke was received, New
England Homestead.

PERSONAL MAGNETISM.
The Secret of the Perpetual Youth Pos

The Secret OF the Perpetual Youth Pos
sessed by Some Men.
Henry Clay, to the last hours of his
fife, had a singular power over young
men and boys, who were invariably
eager to becomes in some sort, his
friends and companions.
Young people regarded Washington,
on the other hand, with profound re-
spect into which no feeling of possible
e comradeship ever entered. The same
feeling of separation, or aloofness,
characterized theintercourse of Daniel
Webster with the young.
What girl or boy who reads the Com
paniOn has not tender, cheerful fell
lowship for the venerable George Ban
croft and Doctor Holmes, men whose
faces they probably never have seen?
Why is it that old age is thus to
some men, however good or wise they
may be. an impossible gulf, which
cuts them of from all relations with
childhood and youth, while there are
other aged faces dear to every baby,
boy and girl who looks on them?
The cold, dark flow of years shut the
first in and apart from their kind, as the
deep, bridgeless moat does an ancient
ruin; but years have no power to sepa-
rate US from the others. They are as
young and alive as their grandchil-
dren, despite white hairs and falling
senses.
The secret of this perpetual youth in
some men is the keen sympathy for
others in their hearts, and certain
warmth of temperament which gives
them an interest in the affairs of every
passing moment. - No matter how old
a man may be, if his energy and affec-
tions remain he will attract friends and
companions. If the fire still burns on
the hearth, what matter if the walls of
the house be decayed? We shall come
to it to be warmed and cheered.
Yet how absurd, in the light of this
simple fact, is the conduct of boys and
girls who assume languid indiffer-
ence to the affairs of life in the vain
hope of convincing the lookers-on that
they are hOpelessly blaSe2
When they rob- themselves of the
chief charm of youth and enthusiasm,
they are like the heir to a kingdom
who resigns a crown before he has
worn it.-Youth's Companion.
