RaleiSH's Death.

The record of men who live nobly nav
be worthily supplemented by that of the
souls who depart this life like Christian
gentlemen. Charles | and Louis XVI went
through the ordeal of execution with the
lne solemnity befitting king in such ex-
tremity, and Sir Walter Raleigh died in a
manner beiitting his life and purposes.
On the morning OF his execution he
turned to his old friend, Sir Hugh Creston.

A little later very bald man pressed
forward to see Raleigh and pray with him.
Sir Walter took off his own embroidered

Iniurious EmpIoYme Is.

Nitric acid is employed as a solvent for
tin in making dyes; by engrayers to etch
copper; in the manufacture of gun cotton:
in the gliding trades, and in preparing the
felt for hats. The fumes of it are more ir-
ritating to human throats and lungs than
is a red rag to bull, and they cause no
end of bronchial and catarrhal affections
The workers in various branches of trade
suffer from the fumes of ammonia. They
cause Inflammation Of the eyes and pc
culiaf skin disease, which it has been sug-
gested may he due to the formation of a
soap by the union of the ammonia with the
liquid Of the lubricating skin glands. If
that be true every man could be per-
ambulating soap factory. Men employed
in guano works become deaf, and the skin
of their noses and fOreheads is peculiarly
discolored by the ammonia. Their strength
fails, and they suffer from anamia-New

six hours during this season of continual
sunshine a steamer leaves Stockholm

Little Strike at South Portland.

Mr.. FL. III. Pettee took the contract to
build the Pickett street sewer at South
Portland. Ten workmen were employed.
Saturday Mr.. Pettee hired five Italians
and the American workmen objected on
the ground that there were plenty of
Americans out of work who wanted the
employment. The Americans struck
and were acting ugly towards the Ital-
ians when Constable Turner was sent for
and he showed them the folly of their
ways. The Americans then returned to
work and Mr.. Pettee discharged the
Italians and will replace them with
Americans.

She Has Probably Foundered.

The bark Itonus, Capt. Slower, of
which Capt. Benjamin Webster and
others of this city are owners and J. S.
Winslow & Co., agents, has probably
foundered at sea with no one left to tell
the tale. The bark sailed from Pisagua
fer New York April 26, and an ordinary
passage is from seventy to eighty days.
Making every allowance for bad weather
or accidents. this bark is at least three
and half months overdue. Capt Slower
belonged in Millbridge and had his
young wife with him. She probably has
persisted with him. The crew were all
from out of the State. The Itonus regis

miraculously escaped death. He was
taken to the Marine Hospital.
