Death orLnnIs Kossnth.

Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot,
and one of the unique figures of modern
history, died at Turin at late hour Tues
day night, lacking only month of being
~ years old. He was born in Monak,
Hungary, and came of ancestry whose pre-
dominating characteristic was a love of
justice and political liberty. He was lber-
ally educated and began life in the prac-
tice of the law. AT 30 he was a member
of the Hungarian Diet. Five years later
his activity in behalf of liberal principles
caused his imprisonment which lasted
three years, or until 1910, when he was
pardoned under a general amnesty. His
time in prison had not been wasted, for he
had studied English and had otherwise
broadened and strengthened his mental
equipment.
Then came the great work of his life
first as champion of the common people
against the nobility of Hungary itself, and
then as the leader of all Hungary against
the tyranny of Austria. 1t was in the
fall of 1S48 that Austrian justice finally
drove Hungary to declare its independence
and to make Kossuth its governor or presi-
dent. A desperate war followed. Russia
came to the aid of Austria. The Hunga-
rians were crushed and Kossuth fled to the
Turkish empire for safety. The story of
those events fills many chapters of Euro
pean history. Doubtless the eXiled leader,
in response to the demands and threats of
Austria and Russia, would have been sur
rendered by Turkey to be put to death,
but England and America interviewed in
his behalf, and his safety was thus secured.
And presently the United States govern
ment sent its steam frigate Mississippi to
bring him to America as the nations
guest. The enthusiasm aroused by his
presence in this country will never be for
gotten by the men of that time.
Kossuth returned to Europe in 1852, and
spent many years in travelling, lecturing,
writing, and working in various ways for
the Hungarian cause He finally settled
down in Turin, Italy, to spend the re-
mainder of his days in voluntary exile
He never would return to Hungary, though
often invited to do so, and was even elect
ed several times to seat in the Hungarian
parliament To the end he proudly kept
himself a protest against alien monarchy
and an advocate of popular government.
Kossuths wife and daughter died several
years ago in Turin. He is survived by
sons who are useful and honored citizens
of Italy.

Death of Timothy Merrick.

Timothy Merrick, the Holyoke manu-
facturer, died Monday in San Francisco,
where he was staying with his wife and
daughter. Mr.. Merrick, from the smallest
beginnings, had built up fortune and an
honored name. He was a native of Con-
necticut, and at the age of II years was
at work in a cotton mill at Coventry in
that state, splicing thread on a cotton mule
at so cents week. In 1865 he established
the Merrck thread company, concern
which at the present time has a capital of
$4,000, employs 1850 hands, and turns
out $500, 900 dozens of spool cotton each
year. Mr.. Merrick refused to go into the
spool thread combination, which includes
the Clarks, Goats, and Willimantc COM
panies, and has been its bitter rival. He
was Republican, a strong believer in the
principle of protection to American indus
tries and an ex-president of the Home
Market club.

III few months of 70 years. He has
Sways lived in town, following the voca-
on Of farmer. He was an industrious,

and was participated in by both men and
women. The men were inclined to have
the women systematic and prompt, and
when asked what should be done when in
terruptions came to their well-laid plans by
the arrival of unexpected company, the re-
ply was, take them to the workroom and
invite them to assist. The story of the
sufferings of one of the men from being
obliged to occupy badly arranged bed was
pathetically laughable. In summing up
the different ideas presented we find that
the whole family, father, mother and chill
dren must do their part in order to have
the kind of housekeeping that means
home.
The patrons and their families are in
vited to meet at David T. Perry's, West

Admiral Benham, with the San Fran
cisco, is believed to be on his way from
Rio to Bluetields, voyage of about Is
days. There is some contradiction as to
the circumstances attending the landing of
British marines on the Mosquito coast,
and our navy department is naturally anx-
ious to be represented at Bluefelds as soon
as possible. American interests are so
closely bound up with Nicaragua that the
United States cannot acquiesce in interfer-
ence by European powers with the domes-
tic affairs of that country.

BRATTLEBoRo RETREAT.

Editor Of The PhGnir:-After visiting
the Retreat in this beautiful village almost
daily the past three months, where have
received many privileges in visiting pa
tients, cannot forbear paying a well-mer-
tied tribute to the physicians and employees
of this admirably conducted institution.
All patients are kindly treated, and those
in need of extra attention receive it from
attendants, while more amusements and
entertainments are furnished patients than
in most institutions of the kind. The
summer cottages here introduced are an
admirable and much-needed feature, and
should be multiplied and occupied all the
year round; and doubtless they will be
when the public understands the necessary
requirements of physicians in charge of
such patients to effectually cure or ameli-
crate their condition; for then appropria-
tions and endowments will be made and
funds flow as freely from private sources as
they do now for the deaf, dumb and
blind and other unfOrtunates.

Seward Webb and his Adirondack Park.
DR.. W. Seward Webb, president of the
Wagner palace car company sent party
of his friends to the Adirondacks last
night to spend Sunday at his place in the
North woods. DR.. Webb has the largest
private park in the United States, if not in
the world. Few have any idea of its ex-
tent, and of its wealth of game and fish,
and its beauty of lake and forest scenery.
All told, DIR. Webb owns about POO, 900
acres of wild land in the Adirondack re-
giOn, of which he has inclosed about 100,-
600 acres with wire fence, making what
is known as Nehasane park. At Nehasane
is DIR. Webb's forest home. 1t would
scarcely be called mansion, and yet it has
the dimensions of a hotel being 200 feet
long by 80 wide, and is surrounded by a
spacious veranda. His property extends
about IS miles on each side of the New
York Centrars Adirondack division. DR..
Webb belongs to notable family. His
father, James Watson Webb, was the ia
nous editor of the old Courier. All of
the sons have attained distinction in one
way or another. H. Walter Webb, as vice
president of the New York Central, has
charge of the actual operation of the rail-
road. Creighton Webb occupies a promi-
nent diplomatic position abroad. Another
brother is member of prominent stock
exchange house. A half-brother, General
Alexander S. Webb, is president of the
college of the city of New York.-COrre-

Memorial exercises were held by Pro-
tective grange Tuesday evening for the
members who had passed away during the
year. Mrs. Julia Harris gave a short ac-
count of John II. Butterfied, who was
known to but few of our members, as he
lived too far away to attend the meetings
of late years. Mrs. Almira l.. c. Robbins

had won many friends by her kindly ways
and good deeds and interest in the welfare

Among the other exercises Emma ID. Nc
Quaide told of the evils resulting from
having too much land, as it made one land
poor. Arthur c. Sargent related the di-
lemma in which the poor Dutchman found
himself, as he was unable to tell which of
his mothers two twins he was, the one
that died or the one that was alive, Hans
or YacOb. David T. Perry opened the dis
cussion upon the question what crops can
the farmer raise this year that will be the
most profitable. He thought any crop well
managed would pay. C. d. Whitman and
Dwight Goodenough thought grass the
most important. G. w. Pierce spoke of
roots, especially the mangel wurzel, as a
paying crop; Oscar T. Ware of corn as
the most important next to grass. Charles
Harris thought onions doubtful crop for
profit at 80 cents bushel, but was adj
vised to stick to the onion crop. Camden
Smith thought berries profitable; surplus
of garden products was unsaleable in this
town, but profitable for home use. 1t was
urged to raise the kinds of grain that cost
us as Vermonters the full value of all our
income from the sale of dairy products, as
mentioned in the last weeks Phoenix.
Mrs. Mary j. Currier read an essay upon
the subject that was given her at the last
meeting, "What constitutes good house
keeper" She contrasted The systematic,
exact housekeeper, who makes everything
and everybody conform to her plans, and
the one who makes her house home for
her family. The discussion which follow

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
A $4,000 Fire at SpragueviIIe. Neai
Keene.

Fire early Sunday morning burned the
four-story wooden building owned by Oba-
diah Sprague and occupied by the Cheshire
box company at Spragueville, two and one
half miles from Keene. Two barns
standing near and a large quantity
of valuable timber were also burned. The
barns were owned by George Page, whose
loss will not exceed $500, as his stock was
saved. The building was valued at about
$4,000, and the Cheshire box company
loss on machinery, stock and lumber will
reach $4,000 or $4,000. Both were insured.
The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary Or
igin, as it broke out in two places almost
simultaneously, and two previous attempts
had been made to burn the building.
