PRECIOUS MASONIC RELICS.

The old Niagara Frontier Lodge,
F. and A. NJ. of Niagara Falls,
which was organized early in the
present century moved toits Masonic
Temple there last week. In cleaning
out an ancient desk for removal, a
packet of papers, yellow with age,
which contained portrait OF
General George Washington and a
lock Of hair. which accot ding to the
lines written by E. Watson. was

"CUCKOO" POLITICIANS.

The two following newspaper par
agraphs will throw some light on
the political meaning of ''cuckoos, u
a phrase used several times in Sena-
tor Ingalls, recent lecture in st.
Johnsbury
On the 18th of October last Sena-
tor Morgan. of Alabama, a democrat
who carries his brains under his own
hat, in discussing the silver question,
had occasion to describe those demo-
Gratis in congress who were in the
habit of waiting for orders from the
White House before forming any
opinions. Senator Morgan said /:
THE trumpet had sounded, the
forces were marshaled, the clock had
struck at the White House, and the
cuckoos here all put their heads out
of the boxes and responded to in
form us of the time of day; but they
did not seem fully to know what they
were talking about and never took
pains to find out the state of the
law Boston Journal (Rep)
The origin of the word 'cuckoos"
as dppllSu 10 pOiltlSiahS without
manliness or independence seems
likely to be shrouded in an much I'M
certainty as Homer's birthplace, the
authorship of Beautiful Snow" or
the identity ofthe assailant of Patter
son. Senator Morgan of Alabama
started the controversy in the silver
debate. John Randolph had CEN
fury before been repea tedly inter
rupted in making a speech by col
league who insisted on saying, Mr..
Speaker, Mr. Speaker" Randolph's
remark was that in Geneva they
made clocks, from which at intervals
little birds came out and whistled.
The credit of origina ting the present
use Of the word cuckoo" rightly be-
longs to Capt. Boutelle, for though
he did not start the word upon its
rounds, he first definitely applied it
to Cleveland cuckoo" Mr.. Tracey
and the latter resentingit, the status
OF the expression was fixed, which it
was not when used by Senator Nor
gan or previously by old John Ran
dolph.-[New York Sun.

THE DOG WE'D HIM.

An instance of the well-known
sagacitv of a dog occurred during
the snow storm and blizzard in the
mountain regions of this county on
Sunday night, February 25. Adam
Tressler, an old man living in the
mountain west of Emmitsburg,
started out in the evening to reach
the home of his daughter. Before he
had gone far the lantern which he
carried was blown out, and he was
left in the darkness amid the storm.
He soon lost his way, and wander
ing farther and farther from the pa tn,
stumbled and fell. He had walked
over the foundation of an old mill
and fallen distance of eight feet in
to the debris below. His cries for
help were unheard by human ears,
but a dog belonging to Joseph
Turner, whose dwelling was in the
mountain a little distance away,
recognized the cry of a voice and i'm
mediately set up loud barking and
waiIing. Back and forth he went
between the direction of the voice
and his masters house, until finally
he aroused Turner, who decided to
brave the storm and see what was
the matter. Following at the heels

Never again will English public life

WAR VICTORIES REVIVED.

Francis Edwin Brownell. the Ellis
worth zouave, who was with Col.
Ellsworth when the latter was kill
ed, and who shot down Jackson,
Ellsworth's murderer, died in Wash
ington last Thursday. Brownell
and Ellsworth were friends in boy
hood, and Brownell had been
member of Ellsworth's zouaves, who
gave exhibition drills about the coun-
try. Later when Ellsworth formed
his regiment of fire zouaves in New
York city Brownell joined it and was
attached to headquarters. While
the regiment was at Alexandria the
ordinance of secession was passed
by Virginia, and Jackson raised the
confederate flag over his hotel, the
Marshall house. Ellsworth called
Brownell to accompany him and
went to the hotel and ordered Jack
son to remove the flag. Jackson re-
fused and threatened to kill any one
who attempted to pull the flag
down. Ellsworth and Brownell
went to the roof and got the flag,
and as they were coming down the
stairs, Ellsworth with the flag over
his SHOulueT, JACKSON SteppeO INTO
the hall armed with shotgun and
fired, killing Ellsworth instantly.
Before the smoke from Jackson's gun
had cleared away ball from
Brownell's rife pierced his brain and
he, too, fell dead. Brownell was
the hero of the hour. Congress gave
him a medal of honor: Troy, his
native place, gave him trophy, and
Boston, New York, and Providence
made him handsome presents. He
was given a commission as lieu
tenant of infantry in the regular
army and served through the war.
After the war he was for time in
the United States land office at
Springfield, Mo-, and for some years
had been connected with the pension
bureau. He was SO years old.

Nothing robs tired, aching nerves of

A BASKING SHARK.

There was great cOmmOt1On in the
geological department of the Stan
ford University on Monday after
noon when President Jordan re-
ceived a telegram from an Italian
he had caught monster of a bask-
ing shark, and inquiring if they
wanted it. The fisherman soon got
his answer.
The basking shark is an object of
popular as we'll as scientific interest.
It is the largest fish that swims the
sea. 1t isn't as big as bow-head
whale, but the whale is not a fish,
but mammal. The specimen
captured by the Italian fisherman,
who has a standing order from the
Stanford University for anything
new or queer in his line, is thirty-fve
feet long and measures nearly fifteen
feet perpendicularlv through the
back. These proportions make it as
large as many a whale, and it is a
homely and lubberly thing to look
at.
"Basking sharks" said President
Jordan, "are rarely caught, and l
coast. That was in 1880 at Mont
Grey. We chopped out piece of one
of it's gills, and it was all one man
wanted to carry. Pictures of the
basking shark are not reliable re-
presenta tons, for there have been
few chances to draw them. There
are probably but a few hundred in
the ocean. The British Museum has
a standing offer of $1,000 for the
skin of one, but a man would earn
his money getting it, for it would
take two months to skin the fish
and care properly for the hide. -

RACING WITH AN NICHE.

Let Mr.. Tuckett himself describe
that thrilling race for life. II re-
member" he writes, "being struck
with the idea that it seemed as
though, sure of its prey, it wished to
play with US a while, at one mo-
ment letting US imagine that we had
gained upon it, and were getting be-
yond the line of its FIRE, and the next,
with mere wantonness of vindictive
power, suddenly, rolling out on it's
right a vast volume of grinding
rocks and whirling snow, as though
to show that it could outfank US at
any moment if it chose.
Nearer and nearer it came, it's
front like a mighty wave about to
break. Now it has traversed the
whole width of the glacier above us,
taking a somewhat diagonal direct
ion; and nOw-run, oh, run, if ever
you did, for here it comes straight
at US, swift, deadly, and implaca Bile |
The next instant we saw no more :;
a wild confusion of whirling snow
and fragments of ice-a frozen cloud
swept over US, entirely conceal
ing us from one another, and
still we were untouched-at
least l knew that l was-and still
we ran. Another half second and
the mist had passed, and there lay
the body of the monster, whose head
was still careening away atlightning
speed far below us motionless, rigid,
and harmless"
The danger was over, and the
party examined the avalanche at
their leisure. 1t had a length of

of 5000 feet, and an average depth

A STARTLING FACT.

Sixteen Per Cent. of Insurance AppIi-
Giants Rejected on A ccount of Diseased
Kidneys.
DR.. Lambert the general medical director
of the Equitable Life Insurance Company
New York, said:
1--WE reject sixteen per cent. of the applica-
tions ade to us for insurance and / save
the entire expense of this medical depart
ment by the rejection alone of applicants
who had diseased kidneys and who died
within two years after rejected them
This appalling statement should have the
attention of our citizens. There is no reason
today. why people should allow kidney
disease to get such hold on them.
Nature sends her warning in the slight
pain in the back, poor circulation of the
blood. sediment in the urine. When any of
these symptoms appear, DIR. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy should be taken in small
doses at once, and thus drive the poison out of
the blood and restore the kidneys to healthy
action. To our knowledge this is the only
medicine that surely cures this almost uni
versa1 complaint.
We note the recovery of Mr.. Oscar Lam
bert, of Jerico, Mo, whose case has been
talked of in the papers the world over.
Quoting from his letter to the Press. Mr..
Lambert says:
81 neglected the first symptoms until 1
found myself in bed with a complicated

help me. 1 then used DIR. David Kennedy's

AT TRAINER osGooD,s STABLE.

A correspondent of the Horse
breeder has visited Mr.. Osgood's
stable in Summerville and writes as
follows concerning what he saw:
A. D. Osgood who took care of Cob
den at the time of his death, is located
at St. Johnsbury in the stable formerly
occupied by Homer Brewster, and has
nine promising colts in his care.
Captain, fve-year-old chestnut stall
hon by Golden (2.2S34,) out of the dam
of Nellie F. (2.2312,) is among the num-
Der and should easily beat $50 this
record of 2.42 in a winning race, and
has not been handled since.
Golden I'd, owned by w. N. Randall.
st. Johnsbury, is highly-fnished four
year-old chestnut stallion, and as his
name suggests, was sired by Golden.
His dam was bv Billiards. Tom Cassius !;
second dam s. t. b. by old Billy Root.
Mr.. Osgood gave this colt a two-year-
old record of 2. 81, but he was not start
ed last year. Mr.. Randall thinks he can
beat any horse in St. Johnsbury on the
snow, and is very confident that Golden
will have one more 2.3O performer in
1894. His two-year-old record was no
measure of his ability, as l know he
could have lowered that several seconds.
Emmett Hill, West Concord, has two
promising colts by Jesuit, a son Of On
ward, in training, and we were particu-
larry pleased with the makeup of one of
them, 16-hand chestnut three-year-old
that Mr.. Osgood assured us was fast.
The other colts were by Rexton, Con
tocook, producing son Of Mambrino
Wilkes, and Allen Wilkes (2.29).
Mr.. Osgood has a well-appoineed sta
bic, and the stock showed that they had
good care.
