Benjamin Disraeli. Earl of Beaeon
field, ex-Prime Minister of England,
died in London at6 o'clock Tuesday
morning.April 1U, 1881, passing peace
fully from earth's turmoils, remaining
perfectly conscious to the last.
Born December 21, 1804.be hud passed
man's allotted span. His history is a
remarkable one, and Is an example of
what perseverance may accomplish
even under tbe most adverse circum
stances. During the recent political cam
paign the Democrats of Louisiana had
much to say of 329, and used it on
every occasion iu which they thought
they could annoy the Republicans.
Tbe New Orleans Republican says
that the postmaster of La Crosse has
taken a fearful revenge on the Demo
crats, and is giving them their fill of
329. PostofBce box 329 s a large
double one, where the business is
trausacted. If a man wants to buy
stamps or pay box rents, or ask any
question, he walks up to 3-'9,rings a
bell, and the postmaster, or clerk,
comes to the hole. If it is a Demo
crat he is asked what he will have of
829, which is very crushing question
to ask him, and some of the old moa
backs would rather go without paying
their rent than to ring that con
founded bell. It is the intention of
the postmaster to give them enough
of 329.
A Harrisburg correspondent
writes that as it is customary or, as
the almanacs say, "about this time"
the pins are being put up for the next
nominations for state offices. Of
course the Democrats have taken
heart at what they regard as a split in
the Republican party, and there will
be some brisk skirmishing for the
nomination for state treasurer. Among
those who are hunting it are Edward
F. Karr, of Bradford countv. at ires
nt corporation clerk In the auditor
generafs office, and G. D. Bildcrback,
of Pittsburg, of the firm of S." Ewart
& Co., merchants. The latter it Is
claimed, is not identified with either
the Wallace or Randall factions. It is
aid that Representative Mapes,, of
Vanango, is looking for the Republi
can nomination for state treasurer, but
s he was one of the leaders in the re
volt against Cameron In the senatorial
question, and in 1878 voted for Ed
ward MePherson when Cameron was
the caucus nominee, he would have to
traverse an exceedingly rough ami
thorny road before he could secure the
nomination. J. A. M. Passmore, of
Schuylkill, is also said to be an aspir
ant for (lie treasurer's position but
that canuot be. For 1S82 Senator
John G. Hall is mentioned for the
Lieutenant Governorship, but that is
long way ahead. Williamsport Q.
Professor Risley's report or lec
ture before the Countv Medical fio.
eiety and the members of the Board of
education, with regard to the cause
of myopia among the children in our
public schools ought to receive serious
attention. "Short-sighted" people
seem to be increasing to an alarmiim
extent In Philadelphia. No observant
person who walks the streets can fail
to notice the great number of the
young who wear glasses. A few years
ago a child with sjiectacles would
nave attracted rather offensive atten
tion; now it is so common to see child
ren, ranging from 8 to 12, with glasses
that It has ceased to be a novelty. If
Frofessor Risley's investigation shall
bare the effect of drawing attention of
teachers to the prevalence or this de
fect even among the very young his
labors will not be iu vain. For be it
known that there are scores of teach
ers in our public schools who will not
believe in the existence of myopia ex
cept in the case of adults, and we
know of a case where a- child was ac
tually punished for her inability to
read from her place the example on
the blackboard. Teachers ef this
kind may be grouped with those out
side m-ho invariably call it "affecta
tion" whenever they notice a com
paratively young person with glasses.
The removal of this absurd charge will
be the first step In the right direction.
Next attention must be given to
the removal of the couse in order, If
possible, to protect the coining genera
tion from this complaint. Scientific
skill combined with architectural
ability can do much in this direction,
tbe former by pointing out what is re
quired, and tbe latter by supplying
tbe details in tbe construction of the
school-houses so that the light will not
constantly strike in front of the schol
ars. Thus, in time, we may hope to
nave few of our people opeii to tbe
harge.of " affectation" either by
teachers or others. Phlla. Press,
Sergeant Bates Dying in Poverty.
Cincinnati, April R-Sergeant Bates
who achieved notoriety by marching
through the southern states and a por
tion of Europe, bearing the American
flag, is reported to be dying in abject
poverty in Saybrook, III. He has a
wife and six children.
Forty-four Days Without Food.
Miss Deuel, of Iowa, lias just com
pleted forty-four days of starvation
and still lives in a most pitably re
duced condition. She Is barely able
to move her hands and can no longer
make her wants known. She drinks
a little water and Is much exhausted
by the slightest motion or effort and
lies In an almost unconscious state.
Shot by Ills Son.
Montgomery Welsh shot and in
stantly killed his father, Richard
Welsh, nt Derby, Iudiana,on Sunday
last, on the road in front of their
home. Richard Welsh was an old,
well-to-do, highly-respected farmer.
The family occupy a finely improved
estate near Derby. For a long time
the family have been rendered un
happy by the conduct of the deceased,
who persisted In paying attention to a
strange woman, although he had a
most estimable wife. His conduct in
this respect completely broke down
Mrs. Welsh's health, and the action
of her son Montgomery iu strongly
taking the mother's part and using
his utmost endeavors to win his father
back made the latter the young man's
mortal enemy. Sunday Montgomery
told him matters had cme to a puss
'demanding the death of one of them.
Montgomery drew a pistol and three
shots at his father, killing him in
stantly. Army Rations for tho Destitute.
Washington, April 15. The War
and Nuvy Departments were unre
presented at the Cabinet meeting to
day, owing to the absence from the
city of Secretaries Hunt and Lincoln.
Aside from routine business, the only
matter under consideration was the
situation In Dakota. President Gar
field called attention to the destitute
condition of 'the hundreds of home
less sufferers by the recent floods in
that Territory and expressed his earn
est desire to have every needed relief
extended with the least possible delay.
It was decided to authorize t lie issuing
of army rations for two weeks and
clothing and supplies. An arrange
ment was also made by which salt
meat, which cannot be furnished at
the needed points in suftk-ieut quanti
ties tiy the War Department, is to be
furnished through the Interior De
partment from the Indian supplies, to
be replaced eventually by the War
Department. Governor Ordway of
Dakota was at the White House im
mediately alter the Cabinet meeting
to confer with the President relative
to carrying out the plans for relief.
State Couventioii.
The Republican State Committee
met at Harrisburg last Thursday.
April 14. About fifty numbers res
ponded to the call of their names.
Chairman Cessna presided. Erie,
Philadelphia and Ilarrisburg were
mentioned as the place of holding the
next convention. After some discus
sion Harrisburg was selected as the
placennd September 8ih as the time
of holding the next State Convention.
Col Hootcn suggested that the thanks
of the Committee should be tendered
to Chairman Cessna and the Secreter
ies for the efficient work done in the
last campaign. This was adopted, and
led to a neat little speeech from the
Bedford statesman, reviewing the
work performed and its good results.
The Committee then adjourned.
Some statistical genius has figured
out that only about 25 per cent, of the
brakenien on freight trains die a nut
ural death, and the average life of a
brakeman after lie assumes the duties
of his position is but ten years and a
fraction over. It Is estimated that at
least ten brakemen are killed in the
United Statesevery dny. or 3,5i) dur
ing the year. Twice that number are
set down us injured while on duty.
According to this showing, if a tnan
becomes tired or life and desires to
take himself out of the world, all that
is necessary for him to do is to hire
out as a brakemuu und take his
chance.
Governor St. John has sent a let
ter to the Woman's Temperance
Union of Chicago, which sets at rest
various rumors relative to the nature
and probable operation of the pro
hibitory law in Kansas. The
Governor writes: -'That many of the
whiskey dealers in this State are
moving to Kansas City, Mo., is true,
but for every saloon keeper that goes
out of Kansas on account or our pro
hibitory law, a sufficient number or
sober, industrious, energetic families
come into the State to build school
houses, and Kansas can al ways airord
to trade her saloons ror school-houses,
and drunkenness for sobriety That
part of the letter which alleges that
the law interferes with the free and
unrestricted sale of tinctures or com
pounds that are used solely for med
icine, is not true, nor does the law
directly or indirectly interfere with
the right to administer or partake of
wine at communion services. All
such stories are instigated and circu
lated by the whiskey ring in order to
break the force of the prohibitory luw
in this State, for the advocates of free
whiskey well know that when it has
beeu thoroughly tested and proved,
which it will be, that prohibition iu
Kansas is a grand success, other
States will follow our example, and
eventually the policy of prohibition
will be a fundamental law of the
United States. Notwithstanding the
law does not take effect until the 1st of
May next, already most of the in
terior towns of the State have
closed bars, and after tbe 1st of May
we will not have an open bar iu Kan
sas, nor will Kansas ever again be
guilty of giving the sanction of law to
that which everybody knows to be
wrong."
A Literary Revolution Challenge.
The old line publishers have, very
naturally, not been well pleased with
the now famous enterprise, "The
Literary Revolution;" and in depre
elation of its character have laid
special stress upon the claim that in
cheapening books so vastly it is against
the Interests of American authors
The revolution boldly meets this
assertion by statements as follows:
1st. That they are already paying to
American authors more moupy than
any Other publishing house that is less
than twenty-five years established.
2d. That American authors rarely
receive from publishers a copyright
exceeding 10 per cent, upon the retail
price of their books actually sold.
3 1. That at least one-half, and prob
ably more nearly three-fourths, of the
books published by American authors
have been published at the author's
expense, the publishers furnishing no
m mey, and paying no copyright, but
themselves receiving a large percent
age upou sales made. 4th. That they
propose hereafter to pay to American
authors for acceptable manuscripts a
copyright of 15 per ceut, instead of
10 percent, and they claim that their
low prices, ami immense sales result
ing therefrom, are far more in the
interest of authors than much larger
copyright on the commonly limited
number of sales "One thousand
books, profit $1.00 each$l,000. One
million books, profit one cent each
$10,000,
As an example of an American
copyright book, they Issue, in an ex
ceedingly handsome form, the famous
poetical, historical, and satirical
American classic, "M'Flngal, an
Epic Poem," by John Trumbull, with
very full annotations by the celebrated
historian, Benson J. Lossing, LL.D.
This poem is almost as much a part of
American history as the battle of
Bunker Hill itself, and Dr. Lossing
has greatly increaed both its interest
and its intrinsic value by his historical
comments und illustrations. This
book was published a few years ago
by one of the old publishing houses at
the price of $2.03 per copy, and had
only a very limited sale. The pub
lishers claim that the reception of
their new edition guarantees a sale of
at least 50,000, or even more probably
100,000 copies ; and Mr. Lossing will,
of course, reap a handsome reward,
even from the small royalty upon the
low price. American Book Exchange
Publishers, New York City.
Mr. Windom is developing a line
of policy of his own. By the man
ufacture of silver dollars and the im
portation of gold our currency is being
constantly more and more inflated.
Mr. Windom proposes a measure
which will be at once one of re
sumption and contraction, viz.: the
withdrawal of all the legal tender
notes from circulation of the denom
ination of ones, twos, and fives. This
will decrease the greenback currency
nearly $111,000,00 , and would un
doubtedly have the effect of drawing
nearly, if not quite, all the silver coin
from the Treasury, aud bringing gold
coin into much more general use.
Should this be continued, as proposed,
up to and including the twenties, $147,
000,000 additional will disappear in
the same manner. Such a radical
course, however, depends on so many
conditions for its successful operation
that it will probably wait till the maturing-debt
question is well out of the
way. Phila. Prcxs.
One of he most sensational and
remarkable ncapes from prison took
place at Goldsburg, North Carolina,
recently. A convict named Kitchen
Ginn, confined in the penitentiary at
that place, occupied a cell witli a sick
companion. The companion died, and
the body, after being shrouded, was
placed in a coffin, and the undertaker
went home to dinner. As soon as the
door had been locked Ginn, who was
in lied pretending to be sick, got out,
took the (lend man from the coffin,
placed him in the bed, and got into
the coffin himself. When the burial
party returned they placed the oofflu
in a wagon and drove otf without dis
covering the deception. .Before they
readied the burial ground the corpse
began to roll aud kick in the coffin,
which so frightened the undert aker
that he ran away, whereutou the man
lifted the lid of the coffin and es
caped.

when death came to his relief. It was

Just how Is not known. The blankets
were used on the horses last fall while
