wherever he has appeared he is in de-
mand. Some of our people have already
enjoyed him at Vermont Academy on
two occasions, and those who haven't
will want to. He has been recalled 70
Brooklyn, N. Y, for 60 different dated
and has appeared q times in Boston,
which is good indication of the favor
in which he is held. In David Garrick
he impersonates the following charac-
rers:
David Garrick, The great English actor
Mr.. Simon Ingot, wealthy London merchant
His charming and accomplished daughter
Mr.. Richard Chivy, Az empty headed fop
Mr.. Smith, OF Smith, Smith & Co.

A Temperance Lesson.

Last Sunday residents on Canal, Will
liams, Atkinson and Wells streets were
treated TO n sight such as most of them
will not care to see again. A boy a
dozen years old or so came reeling across
Canal bridge, supported between two
comrades, with a crowd following The
boy was drunk. so drunk that he couldn't
stand alone and the boys were helping
him home, apparently. 1t is not believed
that he obtained his liquor in our village,
but it is certain that he had it from some
source. The presence of liquor presup-
poses some source of supply. That must
be dealer. If his older companions
procured it for him some measures
should be taken to prevent a repetition
OF the offence. If a rumseller, one who
maybe conducts his business on the sly
under the ban of the laws of our state, or
more openly under the uninforced laws
of neighboring commonwealth, a sea-
son of contemplating the inner walls of
dungeon through darkness is none too
severe a punishment. Ii is bad enough
for men to drink so much liquor that
their reason is dethrontd, but to see a
boy, one who has scarcely reached the
years of discretion go stumbling through
the streets is Infinitely worse. 1t mat
tiers not who furnished the liquor; the
circumstances are of no consequence.
The simple act should be sufficient to
condemn the fiend to confinement where
his vile practices will be stopped. The
men, the confirmed drinkers will have it,
but do spare the boys. They ought to
be left free from the clutches of the
demon until they can understand the
consequences. 1t is largely their own
fault if they are lost then.

business Change.

After more than 30 years in business
in town George O. Guild has sold his dry
goods aud business to Stone, Tuxbury &
Co., of Windsor. The new firm have
taken possession and are busily prepar-
ing for business at the old stand. Mr..
Guild has In these many years been
known as an upright business man, hon
orable in his dealings and square with
all men. His time has been wholly de-
voted to his business and his idle DAYS
during the long period mentioned would
not equal three months probably. 1t is
not understood that he is going to leave
town but will probably make his home
here while he enjoys the vacation he has
so well earned. AS business man he
will be missed from the circle of those
who have helped to build up the substan-
tial prosperity of the town, and the best
wishes of his business colleagues will
follow him in his retirement from active
business.
The new firm is composed of S. w.
Stone, Dwight Tuxbury, Charles Tux
bury, and Frank B. Tracy, the latter as
manager. The purchase has been con-
templated for some time ana was finally
consummated last Thursday. 1t may be
called branch of the old firm of Tux
bury & Stone of Windsor, one of the
old stand-bys of that town, and firm
doing as large a business as any in that
section. The ones who are to manage
the business here are with one exception
young men, and doubtless capable of
achieving success. They will be an ad-
dition of consequence to the business
and social life of the village, and are
heartily welcomed by all. The firm will
retain G. II. Allen and Miss Addie Stone,
Mr.. Guilds employees for long time, in
their employ, and contemplate carrying
similar stock to that heretofore found
at Mr.. Guilds, together with extensive
additions. Their first announcement ap-
pears in another place.

Relics Of the Telegraph.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is endeavorlng to secure, for ex-
hibition at the Worlds Fair the slip
bearing the first message sent by
Morse's telegraph as it actually was
recorded by the instrument.
Another telegraphic relic OF the same
nature which should be exhibited at
the Worlds Fair can hardly be OBJ
tanned from the Duke of Wellington.
This is the original slip Of the first
message that was sent from one coun-
try to another through a wire laid I'M
der the sea. Such relic, in the light
OF the wonderful development OF sub
marine telegraphy, certainly equals in
historical interest the first message
sent by Morse's telegraph. Early in
the year 1850 the first subm arine ca
BILE was laid between England and
France. The cable consisted merely
Of an insulated wire without any ex-
ternal protection, and it was hastily
made and laid SO that telegraph
communication between the two
countries might he established,
even if only for a few hours, in order
to save the franchise, which was about
to expire. Mr.. F. G. Webb, the veteran
submarine cable engineer, was then a
a midshipman in the royal navy, and
his ship being anchored off Dover when
the tug started the cable toward CAL
ais, he secured permission to accom-
pany the expedition. The wire was
laid down without mishap, leaden
weights being attached to it at inter-
walls to sink it to the bottom.
When the instruments were con-
nected up 1T was found that the cable
answered it's purpose admirably, and
the tape soon began to flow forth at
the receiving end. Those in charge Of
the line were about to destroy the
slip; but Mr.. Webb, being of an arch
geological turn Of mind; and foreseeing
that one day such relic would have
great historical interest, carefully
folded up the piece bearing the first
message and labeled it for preserva-
ton. The cable only lasted q few
hours, as on the following day a
WIN AloAACA1l1cAl1 ljlCNcO ~ up Will
his anchor and straightWay chopped
it in two.
The famous Duke of Wellington was
at that time lord warden of the Gin
que ports, and was residing at Wal
mer Castle, near Dover During a
visit to the Commander of Mr.. Webb's
ship, the Iron Duke heard Of the relic
which Mr.. Webb had secured and ex-
pressed some interest in it, and the
result was that the relic changed
hands, Mr.. Webb making a present OF
it to the Duke.
1t is we'll known that the famous
general preserved his papers and other
possessions in the most systematic
manner, and it is probable that the
present Duke of Wellington will be
able to find the message, and would
no doubt lend it for exhibition at the
Worlds Fair, if asked to do So

ments were tried, all showing the same

A Pretty Experiment.

A pretty and interesting experiment,
which may be new to some readers, is
that by which the growth of an oak
plant can be watched from it's earliest
stages
Cut circular piece of card to fit the
top of hyacinth glass, so as to rest
upon the ledge and exclude the air.
Pierce hole through the center OF the
card and pass through it q strong
thread, having a small piece of wood
tied to one end, which, resting trans
versely on the card, prevents it's being
drawn through.
To the other end of the thread at
tach all acorn; and having half-tilled
the glass with water, suspend the
acorn at q short distance from the
surface.
The glass must be kept in q warm
room. In @ few days the steam whlchs
has generated in the glass will hang
from the acorn in a large drop. Soon
the acorn will burst, and the root will
protrude and thrust itself into the
water; in a few days more stem will
shoot out at the other end, and rising
upward, will press against the card, in
which a hole must be made to allow it
to pass through.
From this stem small leaves will
soon sprout, and in the course of q
few weeks the experimenter will be re-
warded by having q sturdy little oak
plant, several inches in height.

Curious Little Experiment.
Prof. Bruylants, Of the University
OF London, is credited with a curious
littleexperiment. He writes a word.
with pencil on a sheet Of paper rest
ing on several other sheets, from which
he draws one bearing no trace OF the
pencil marks. On exposing it, how
ever, over a heated capsule contain
ing iodine for a few minutes, the paper
is seen to grow yellowish, and the let
tiers of the word stand out of a violet
brown color. On moistening the pa
per, the letters appear as violet on a.
blue ground. M. Leconte, who gives
an account Of this experiment, says
that it will also reveal the words eff
faced from paper by a correspondent
Prof. Bruylants explains it on the
grodnd that paper contains starch,
and under the influence of moisture
and pressure forms a slight quantity
OF hydramide, a substance analogous,
to hydrated starch, which forms at a.,
temperature af 60 degrees C.. The,
iodine colors the starch blue. In writ
ing, the pressure of the pencil forces
the water from the fbres of the paper,
and little hydramide is formed,
which is colored by the iodine more:
deeply than the rest of the paper

Lighthouse Nominations
Mr.. John R. Wigham, ofDublin, has
just issued a pamphlet on the subject of
lighthouse Nominations, being his
evidence before the Committee of the
Royal Society appointed by the Board
ofTradeto lookinto the Trinity House
report Of the experiments at South
Foreland. Mr.. Wigham points out the,
disadvantages of the electric light for
lighthouse purposes, showing that in
clear weather it is dazzling and mis-
leading to the mariner, and that in
foggy weather it is comparatively use
less. This evidence is strikingly corrob-
GRATED by the recent manifesto Of the.
London shipmasters' Society who
stated that in certain conditions of:
the atmosphere the electric light is in
visible while the oil lights OIL ghtships
and gaslights ofsea side towns are com
paratively bright and distinct; and still
more recently confirmed by the French
lightship authorities respecting the.
lighthouses of Cape La Heve, where,
for time, an oillight was substituted.
for one of the electric lights, when it
was found that in very thick weather,
though it was impossible to make out.
the electric light, the oil light was stila
sufficiently visible

The Probabilities of a Celestial
Cataciysm.

A German astronomer, Herr Jaeger
has arrived at the conclusion, based
upon observations made by Mons
Hermann on the movement of 49 ST.: rs.
in the visual region, that the so ar
system, with reference to the relati> Z.
positions of the visible stars, moves.
with a velocity of 20 miles per second;.
the mean speed of the so-called fixed
stars being about 27 miles per second.
Herr jaeger goes further; by means of
calculations analogous to those OF the.
kinetic theory of gas, he estimates
that each star encounters another in,
32S billions of billions of years. The
probabilities Of q celestial cataclvsm
consequent upon the impact OF two
or more sidereal bodies are therefore
apparently very remote-1ron.
Electrically Welded Projectiles.
The latest application of electric
welding is to the construction OF pro-
jectiles. The shells for modern quick
firing guns have to be furnished with
an intensely hard point for armour
piercing purposes, and, until recently,
none but the smallest sizes have been
successfully made. It would, however,
appear that the electric Welding pro-
cess will come in play with excellent
effect. as it is now possible to cheaply
and rapidly furnish the steel body Of
the shell with o chrome steel point.
which will prove all that can be de-
sired hon
