A sure death to reaches, sold at old
drug store, 5th and Poplar.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-12-17

THE New York Sun of yesterday under the caption Religious Changes publishes the following: Last Sunday Bishop Potter ordained as priest of the Episcopal church the Rev Mir Ladd, lately of the Congregationalists, and as deacOns the Rev Dr Bridgman, lately oi the Baptists, and the Rev Mir Gardner, formerly of the Presbyterian ministry. These transfers of ecclesiastical ale glance are interesting and even remark able, but they cannot be regarded as inr dicative of any general tendency in the same direction among the Baptist, Con. gregationalist, or Presby terian ministry *** They simply indicate preference for the order of the Episcopal chuI oh and desire to obtain the shelter of its authority in this time of theologic con. troversy. The existing theological dis turbance is also drawing from the Epis. copal church as we'll as adding to it. The Rev MT McQueary of Ohio was driven from his ministry because he denied it's authority over his opini ms, and the Rev MT Spaulding of Massa, chusetts has abandoned it voluntarily and gone over to the church of Rome, because he belives it is proving its ab- sence of title to such authority by fall ing tc defend the true Catholic belief. In the view of the one, it is too exacting in its authority, and of the other, too lax. Meantime Dr Lyman Abbott, Dr Briggs, Dr Vincent, Dr Parkhurst, and a large company of their ministerial followers are tending toward Universal ism, and to the denial of all dogmatic authority whatever.

Fishes That Carry Batteries.

The torpedo" or "cramp fish" has two complete electric batteries on either side of it's head, constructed after the most approved scientific principles. Each of them consists of about four hundred and seventy cells in the shape of six-sided tubes placed side by side
 The walls of these cells are lined with nerve tissue and each one is filled with a clear, trem bling jelly. Precisely how many volts this duplex galvanic appar- atus is capable of administering has never been determined, but frequent experience has shown the power to be sufficient to knock down and temporari- ly paralyze man. Natives in Central Amer ca are said to make practice of driving wild horses into water where cramp fish are in order that the latter may stun the frightened quadrupeds and make them easy to capture. So that shock shall be administered, the object must be brought into contact at two points with the torpedo, thus com pleting the electric circuit. Scien tiflc men regard this as one of the most in- teresting of natural phenomena Two other kinds of animals possess galvanic batteries-a catfish and an eel The two latter have the storage cells sit uated in their tails. In all three cases the electricity is merely transformed nervous energy. y.-Washington Star.

BOTH TO BLAME.

How a SchOolmaster ApoIogized to Boy
 For an Undeserved Whipping.
 Two boys were in a school-room alone together when some fireworks, contrary to the masters express pro- hibiti on, exploded. One boy denied it; the other, Ben Christie, would neither admit nor deny it. and was severely fogged for his obstinacy. When the boys got together again, Why didn't you deny it?" asked the real offender.
 Because there were only we two and one of us must have lied," said Ben.
 ''Then why not say did it?'
 Because you said you didn't, and I would spare the liar"
 The boys heart melted Ben's moral gallantry subdued him.
 When school reassemb bled the young culprit marched up to the masters desk, and said: "Please. sir, I can't bear to be a liar. I let off the squibs;' md he burst into tears.
 The masters eye glistened on the self-accuser, and the undeserved pun ishment he had inflicted on the other boy smote on his conscience. Before the whole school, hapd-in-hand with the culprit, as if he and the other boy were joined in the confession, the mas ter walked down to where Christie sat, and said aloud: "Ben, Ben, lad, he and beg your pardon; we were both to blame!'
 The school was hushed and still, as older schools are apt to be when some tking true and noble is being done; so still they might almost have heard Ben's big boy tears dropping on his book, as he sat enjoying the moral triumph which subdued himself as we'll as the rest And when from want of any thing else to say he cried, Master foreverw the loud shout of the scholars filled the old mans eyes with something behind his spectacles, which made him wipe them before he sat down again.

Only Two More Witnesses to Be Exam
 ined-EMorts of the Defense.
 DENVER, Col, Dec. 1.-The efforts or the part of the defense at the trial of Dr. Graves yesterday were to show tn al the apparent dereliction of the accu, cd in the matter of forwarding money to the deceased when she was on her west. ern tour was caused by the delay in the mails; that Dr. Graves had never prac- ticed any deception upon the deceased that Mrs. Barnaby's daughters were most ungrateful to their mother and that mercenary motives prompted the present prosecution.
 The State is drawing to the close of their testimony. However, they have two more witnesses whose appearanc ce will be awaited with intense interest by the crowds that throng the court room. These two arc J. H. Conrad and O. M. Hanscom, by whom the State expects to fix the identity of the crimin al who sent the bottle of poison upon Graves.

EUROPEAN CLIMATIC CHANGES
Increasing Cold Killing or Certain Kinds
 of Fruit.

Increasing Cold Killing or Certain Kinds
 of Fruit.
 From statistics which M Flam- marion has gathered he shows that in every part of France and the continent during the past six years the thermom- eter has been getting lower and lower, the fall being more noticeable in the spring than in the other seasons of the year. Great Britain shows a similar excess of colder weather, while, strange to say, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Russia, which we have been accustomed to regard as cold countries have during the past four years had higher temperature than that to which they are accustomed. M Flammarion goes further back than this, and quotes history to show that in past years many trees which once fourished in Northern France ate now found only in the south, while others have disappeared altogether. Among these are named the lemon, which no longer grows at Languedoc; the orange, which has deserted Roussillon: and the Lom bardy poplar, which has disappeared from the country alto. gether. He also points out that many noted vintages have ceased to be, ow- ing to the impossibility of growing the grapes under the altered climatic con- ditions. There is not now single vine- yard, he tells us, to be found north of Paris. Cham berS' Journal.
