00, TTBT SHOULD TDK SPIRIT OF MORTALS BE PROUD? iPreiident Lincoln' favorite poem, republished by request Oh. why should tbe spirit of mortals be proud? Like a swift tleellog metaor. a Iwt flying cloud, A flub of the lighiuiog. a break of the ware, Man passe from lile to his rest Ja the grave. The leaves of the oak aid the willow ihall fade. Be sctttered aroun-1 and together belaid. And the Tonn atid the old, the low and the high, Shall moulder to dust nd together ihall lie. The Infant a mother attended and loTed, The motner that iofa-t affections who proved. The husband that mother and Infant who blessed. Each, all are away to their dweUngs of rest. lbs insld on whose cheek, oa whose .brow, in whose eye ' Ehoae beauty and pleasure, her triumphs bye, And tho memory ol those who loved ber and praised .... . ' Aie alike from the minds of the living erased. The hand of the King that the sceptre hath fcorne. The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn, The eye of the sae and tne heart ef tae brave. Are hidden and lost la the depth of the grave. The peasant whose 'twas to sow and to reap. The herdsman who climbed with his goats to the The beirgar who wandered In search of his bread. Are faded away like the grass that we tread. The saint who ecjoved the commission of Heaven, Toe sinner who dared to remain unforgiyen. The wisa and tbe foolish, the guilty and just Have quietly mingled their buns in the dust. 4 So the multitude goes like the flowers or the weed That withers away to let others succeed. 8o the multitude comes, evea those we behold, To repeat every tale that hatA. often been told. For we are the same our fathers have been. We sea the same stirats our fathers have seen,

Wediiak tfce same streata and view the same sun. And ran the same course our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thlaklng our fathers would thioa. From the death we are shrinking our fathers would h rink. To the Hie we sre clinRfng they also would cling. But it speeds from us ail like a bird on tne wing Thev loved, but the story we can not unfold : They score ed. but tae heart of the acorner is cold : They grtevta, but uo wall from their slumbers will come ; They Joyd, but the -tongue of their gladness to ÜU1QD. Tea, ope and despondency, pleasure and pain We amulet t -treib er In sunshine and rain. And toe smiles and the t-ars, the song and the 8till follow each other Uk3 surge u pon surge. 1?s4fce twlnk of an eye. 'tis tbe draft of a breath From the blossoms of health to the paleness of death.

Where the color on a fabric has been accidently or otherwise destroyed by acid, ammonia is applied to neutralize the same, after which an application of chloroform will in r early all cases restore the original color.

Much was expected from tbe discovery made by Prefe-.eor Boll that the images of the otjecTs remain on tbe retina of animals after death. It was thought, for example, that the last scene of a mysterious murder would be found by properly examining the eyes of the victim. Actual tests have shown that the optogram can be of no ose in detecting crime. Dr. Avers made more than a thousand experiments in the laboratory of Professor Kuhne, at Heidelberg, and met with poor success. The bost result was obtained by exposing the eye of a living raboit wLicn had been aocea wun atropine, to a photographic negative, and even in this case the ontogram was imperfect, indistinct and evanescent. Do not emptv the boiler under steam pressure, but cool it down with the water in it; then open the blow-out tap and let the water pour out. To quicken the cooling the damper may be left open and the steam blown off through the safety-valves. Do not, on any account, dash cold water on any ox tne plates, liut in cases of emergency pour cold water in before the hot water is let out, and mix the two togethor so as to cool the boiler down gradually and gener ally, and not suddenly and locally. It a boiler is blown off under tteam pressure the plates and brickwork are left hot. The hot plates harden the scale, and tb.9 hot t rick work hurts the boiler. Cold water dashed on to hot plates will cause severe straining by local contraction, sometimes sufficient to fracture the seams. The new dock at Cardiff, of which Lord Bute cut the first sod the other day, wil extend over thirty-five acres, exclusive of timber ponds, and will coat about 000.000. Tho lock will be tho largest in the world its dimensions being 80 feet wide and 600 feet long, while the depth of water over the sills will vary from 15 feet to 30 feet. The dock will be 2,400 feet long and 600 feet wide, the depth cf the water varying between leet ana S3 reet, according to tide. There will be timber ponds covering eighteen acres adjoining. AH the railway arrangements and the loading and discharg ing machinery will be of the most complete description. Whea. the" new dock is com plete there willta a water area in Cardiff basics and docks o: IZi) acres, and a quay sge of five miles. La Lumiere Eloctrique says that D. Paria exhibited a plan of a new mode of electric lighting, at the French Electric Exposition. The ltrht was placad in chambers under ceath the street and reflected through hollow cylinders, enameled on the inside, so as to produce an inverted cone of raja, which strike a reflector placed at a height of 40 or 50 metres above the street. Among the advantages which are claimed by the inventor are: Theemployment of powerful eUctric foci, thus avoiding the loss which results from the division of the current; the equal diffusion of the light and the avoidance of the dazzling glare; the diminution of the loss of light which res nits from the employment of translucent globes: the readiness of access for regulation and surveillance, and the illumination of thick mists, which can be penetrated with difflculty by other method.

How many women who wear dresses cov ered with polka dots are aware of the classic origin of those ornaments? A correspondent of (icod Cheor alarms that the polka dot "is a copy f the ancient chrysoclavu?, or golden nail feead, which in early Church times wa one or the emblematical ornaments embroidered in ecclesi&tical vestments and robes, and later a purple patch like a broad nail head was wcrn upon the outer garments by the old Boman dignitaries. At first it was observed as a mark of dignity, and 'clavi' cf gold on rich silken textiles of Tyrian dye couli be worn only by tbe nobles.

Oeaerml Torres Attacke the Aptchi lm Their Stronghold on the Sierra Mad re Moantains, Forcing Them From Their Petition. Sah Frahcisco, Msy 1L A dispatch, thii morning from Hermosillo, Mexico, stales that Colonel Torres returned last nicht from Sierra Madrex He has been pursuing the Apaches twenty dsys and found them entrenched in a stronghold in the mountains. He attacked witn 300 troops and dislodged the Indians. The troops flanked the hoetiles, charging their rear point with bayonet. The Indians fied, leaving eleven dead. Five soldiers were killed and eight seriously wounded. Colonel Torres Bays the Apaches fought savagely and were armed with repeating rifles. He thinks the Indian troubles in Son or a are ended. The troops returned to Guaymosa, Montezuma, with the wounded to reolenish rations. A special from Hermoceilo, Mexico, gives farther particulars of Torres' fight with the Indians. lie had been pursumg tne Apa ches twenty days on the trail which led to Montexuma District, Northeastern Sooora. At Gcszwora he was joined by Colonel Garcias and made a forced ru&rch of five days and nights for the hills of Sierra Madre. The Ecouta spied the Indians moving off. Twenty five Struck a large body in a stronghold heretofore unknown. The oldest scout says it has the appearance of beiDg settled three or four years. They had a quantity of stolen stock. The acoute were attacked and driven back to the main body cf troops. The mountain being inaccessible, the cavalry troops dis mounted, made a march of twelve miles and found the Indians strongly entrenched on the crest of a large spur high on the mountains. The troops, 300 strong, made an attack at 1 o'clock. They had to climb the mountain on their hands and knees. The Indians failing to damage by firing, rolled boulders down the mountain side without effect. The Chief, supposed to be J u. had a station at a high point on tbe mountain to command the Indians, which could be heard distinctly for a mile. Il took two hours for the troops o gain the crest of the mountain. When reached two were shot dead. Tbe fight on the summit lasted two hours. Tbe troops swinging be hind, left the Indians and made an attack, charging bayonets, forcing them from their position. The In dians fled, leaving eleven dead, bucks on the ground, fve s&ldiers Tvere killed and eight striously wounded. The Indians were driven for miles. The trail showed much blooJ. A great many are supposed to be wounded. Torres says it was the most savage fight ever made with tbe Apaches. He says they retreated in Northeastern Chircahua, and thinks, no doubt, the ranch was the long unknown stronghold of the Apaches. It is 250 miles east of Sonora, and about the same distance southeast from the Arizona border. He says that the trail of all small bands depredating in Sonora and Arizona lead to this place. THROUGH IHK II KART. Amasa Stone, the Iron and feteel Merchant, Commits Suicide. Cleveland, O., May II. Amasa Stone died suddenly this afternoon. He was tbe founder of Adelbert College, and extensively interested in railway and iron interests throughout the country. Amasa Stone died by his own hand. He had been in ill health a long time, and of late losses in the iron and steel business and a multiplicity of financial caaws are believed to hare produced mental derangement, and during a fit of aberration of the mind to-day, he shot himself. Mr. Stone had been suffering six weeks from insomnia and indigestion, growing steadily worse and more depressed in spirits, though seldom complaining. He seldom obtained more than two hours' sleep all night Gradually he became possessed of a conviction that he could not recover. He did not leave his bed this morning, having passed a restless night. At noon complaining of feeling exceedingly dis tressed, äucdescribably bo, he Was asked long about 2 o'clock to try and obtain a little Bleep. About 4 o'clock his wife went to ascertain how he was and found he was not in bis room. She went to tbe bath room door, which was locked. A servant climbed through the transom and discovered Mr, Stone already dead partially dressed. It ia supposed that after bathing he was seized with a sadden impulse and fired a bullet through his heart with accurate aim. Death must bavtbeen instantaneous. The re pert of tne revolver was not heard by any one. He leaves a widow and two daughters. One the wife of Colonel John Hays, recently Assist ant Secretary of State; the other the wife of Samuel Mather. Colonel and Mrs. Hav sailed yesterday from Liverpool after a protracted absence abroad. The others of the family are at home here. Colonel W. H. Harris and Dan P. Eels. largely interested with Amasa Stone in the Chicago Union Iron and Steel Works, Kan sas City Iron Works, and Brown, Bonnell & Co., Younratown, recently embarrassed, but under reorganization, were called upon to night by the Associated Press correspondent and asked the effect Mr. Stone's death wiil have on the resumption of those Works, They say it is impossible to tell now, but be' lieve will have unfavorable effect, and that schemes of reorganization will be carried out as proposed and the same as if Le had lived. It is not known whether he left written directions or who will be the exec utors. TEWKSBUKY REVELATIONS. Farther Testimony acement at the Showing the MUmari Massachusetts Alms House. Boston, May 10. In the Tewksbury inyes tigation to-day Richard Morey testified that his aunt, Ellen Allen, went to Tewksbury in March, 1877. She had money with her. He understood about $150; also some jewelry and valuable clothing.. His aunt died at the Institution in May, and his father was un able to obtain either the Vdy, clothing or money, and got no satibi etion whatever. The cash book shows a credit of SI received from this inmate. Arthur Phipper, book keeper for a firm of coal dealers, testified that a number of tons of coal were sent by him to Exeter. N. H., by order of Captain Marsh. The Governor said he proposed to prove this waa paid for by the State. The witness identified certain bills for coal which were in Marsh's private accounts, but which have been paid by the State Auditor. ' Plotting Ben Batler'a Downfall. Boston Special It is alleged that the Republicans of tbe Legislature held a meeting to-night to concert a scheme to bad off Butler. It is stated that they determined to rush through tbe appropriation bills, and then announce that they are ready to be prorogued, thro wir g on the Governor the responsibility of keeping them in session. It was also stated that they will import witnesses from Washington to prove that Governor Butler was there February "6. when tbe safety deposit bill waa vetoed, thus proving the illegality of the veto; also, that they will endeavor to squelch further publication of tbe results of tbe Tewksbury investigation. The 6tory is highly improbable, especially the Tewksbury part of ft, as the defense is about to begin, and if there is an abundant defense, as Eeualicans have all along claimed, it wonld e certainly to their advantage to have it widely diaeeminaled.

HARB0DSBÜRG TRAGEDY

Testimony Regarding the Killing of David. Opening Statement of tn Dfen dents of the Trial May lO. -InclMr. K. C. Smith, ex-Town Marshal of Harrodsburg, was the first witness called by the Commonwealth. In answer to Mr. Schuk'a interrogations, Mr. Smith testified in substance as follows: I went down to the depot on the morning of the killing on my way to Lexington to bring tome horses over; saw Mr. Thompson, Mr. China and a Mr Elmore; they wer stauding in tne deot in the usual place for .eparüug passengers. We all took our scats in the car wheu It started for the Junction, and Mr. Thompson kept his teit all the way oat. I did sot see Mr. Thompson dr we eot to the juncUon with the Hautner Road. While I was waiting for tbe Cincinnati Southern train at the junction, and walking up and down tbe platform. Davis appeared at the door of the basge car of the branch roed. This was the first time I had seen him. lie spoke to me and asked where I was going. I ssid to Lexington. He said he was gol?g to the same place. Tbe train then came up; I went into the smoking car. Mr Thompson and Mr. Chinn were standins; up, talkin?. 1 went on several feet beyond them, when Davis came iu with bis satchel and coat on his left arm. He held out his nght hand to Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson said: "Have you the lmpudenre to speak to me, yen d s of a b , after mining rny wife and family?" and reaching for his revolver. Davis threw hi right hand back, but 1 don't know whether for a pistol or tbe door-knob. Mr. Thompson drew his piotol as he spoke, and as Davis slammed the door. Davis sort o dodged; Mr. Thompson fired, and I saw Davis no more until tbe train was stopped, and we found him ou tue ground, doad. He was shot in the rear of the right ear. There was a LtehtuiBR Colt" revolver, thirty elpht caliber, self-cocker, in Davis' pocket, partially out. I helped carry him up to the plaiforn, holding the pistol in as best 1 could. When we laid him dowu (he pistol fell oat of his pocket; I saw caitrlge in the chambers of the pistol. Mr. Smith was cress exsmtned by Mr. Bell fcr thedefeuse, but nothing of further Importance was developed. Mr. Smith testified in a stra gbt forward manner. Pat. Netter, the rew&boy on the Clnclnr.aU Southern, was the next witness cslied. I was on the northbound trsin on which Davis and Thompson were on the morning of the klllicg. Saw Mr. Davis come in: heard tne men, Thompson ai;d Davis, quarreling. Mr. Chinti wait near mem. Bomeouesaia; "roruoa sate uon i:" Mr. Thompson had left the aisle and gone lato a seat. Davis had a valise in one hand and an over, coat in U e other. When some one said "For God's sake don't," Davis backed out, and the valLe caught; it caught a second time, then he pulled it a third time, and slammed the door so bard as to break the glass. About the time the door was chut Thompson was getting his revolver out. He stepped toward the window, aud as Davis parsed the window Thompson fired, with his revolver about six inches from the window glass. There wtre glass windows on both sides cf the door. He did not see Davis when the shot was find, as Mr. Thompson was in the way. The next time he saw Davis be was lying parallel with tbe track. with bis head to tha south. lie was twelve to nf teen feet from the track. Davis had his right hand on the door knob, aud never let go of it at all. as I saw. 1 did not see him extend h;s hand to Mr. Thompson. Nester was cross-examined by Mr. Jacob, of tbe de'ente. He stated that he did not tee how Davis could have held ont bss hand, as be bad it oa the door knobelt the time. The otily words I heara were: "For God's Bake, don't." Couldn't tell from whom It cime. or from which end of tne car. uera Air. iDompran say, alter be urea, something about Davis debauching his wife. 1 was ngnting a cigarette wnen tne parue came in. I was in the front eud of the car when the trouble occurred. The third witness called was Mr. John Wilmore. He waa examined by Judge Denny. He said: I went out on the train to Harrodsburg on the morning of the killing. Mr. Thompson was on the traia. and got out at tne junction aud stood on the pLitf inn. waitirg for the Cincinnati 8on there train.

Colonel Jacobs said : Genti kmes of the Jury It was remarked to you by the counsel for the prosecution tuat this waa a thing of awful importance. I ray with equal positiveness that the facts which led to this uuiortuuate occurrence are ol awiui ana solemn Importance. 1'lu-y are of a terrible character, and while I shall state the facts, It i not In mal ice, for there is no man who sympathizes more than I do with tbe family of the deceased, and who would be further from saying oue word that would wound, let, la the case of family chastity, and the mariaee bed: In the cause cf an outraged husband: in the cau.e ol an lnnoceut daughter, and of a manly ton, I am required to make a plain and uuranusbea stakmeatof tne fact, in language appropriate, and give a description ol the cemte ana characterize it a it deserves. Nothing more, nothlBg less That you may have a full history of the case it is necessary tnat you Know wnom yon have before you on the trial for bis life. A voan man born of honorable and - noble extrac tion, born in your County, and who, by brilliant talents and assiduity to nis proiesrion, nas n-en to hlch rank, not only as a lawyer, but as a states man. This youni; man Is known not only at home, but throughout the broad limits ol tbe United States. He began ss a young man, after service in the armies in the study of law in your midst. He practiced with honor and cisunction for a number of years. He aspire 1 to politic! life, and tor three times, under remsrkable circumstances when old men had opposed him, he stepped upon the arena, atd tbe people accepted him. He had before served as Commonwealth's Attorney and had made t-t himself a character for prudence, honesty a-jd ability that haa rarely been excelled. Iu early manhood ho had married tbe daughter of a neighbor. A lovely, beautiful and pure woman she was the jewel of the household. Just at that period in his history, with these bright prospects Dei ore mm, witn a loveiy wne ana nome ciliaren, when there appears upon tbe scene and erodes his pathway another mau who has bltehted that life and blizhted It for all time. He was a young man, born in your community, of tne best oi parentage ana aucestry, ana woo moved In the same circle of society with the defendant. He had been the closest personal friend, and the closest political supporter. No words of auerv feeling had passed between them before this unfortunate matter There was t o friend to whom he could look with greater confi dence. INCIDENTS.

The Cincinnati witnesses, from the St Clair Hotel, arrived to-day. Mrs. Roth, tbe hotel proprietor's wife, is a beautiful, French-lookine lady, about thirty years old, and clad in deep mourning. Ooe of the proprietors of the Gibson House, Mr. Schuy ler, and the porter of the Burnet House, are anion; the witnesses. During the presentation of the defense by Colonel Jacobs to the Jury, "Little Phil sat beside Hon. Joe Blackburn, immediately in front of tbe Jury, with a sad face and bowed head. It wu a brilliant yeune manhood upon which an awful pall had fallen. During the proceeding the interest manifested by the little Congressman was marked. He drank in every word of the testimony; nothing escaped him, and he made numerous suggestions to his counsel. During the morning Joe Blackburn received the fallowing di?ratch: Glthkib, Ky , May 10 Twenty thousand men in Southern Kentucky say little Phil was right. &OI.UIER The tired Sheriff wearily called the witnesses for the prosecution, and the tirtd Clerk wearily swore them to testify truth fully in the case, Tnen the witnesses for the defense were called and sworn. Among them were Phil Thompson, Sr., the father. and Dr. D. M. Thompson, the brother of the defendant Young Phil requested that Mary H. Thompson be called for the de fense. The defense announced that Miss Bockner would be ready whenever her services were needed. Altogether about fatty witnesses were sworn in. A marked feature of the trial was that His Honor, Judge Hardin, took no notes of the proceedings. Colonel Jacobs mad a masterly and

favorable presentation of tbe cse, and it was evident that it created an impression with the Jury and tbe audience.

SENATOR FAIB. A Manly Statement Concerning JJis Domestic Affair A Kind Word for His Wife. 8ah Fbakcisco, May 9. .senator Fair, in conversation this afternoon with the Associated Press representative, regretted bitterly and keenly the notoriety given the matter so exclusively concerning himself and wife. He said : "1 am the man. and I am willing all odium, which the pulic in ignorance of tbe real facts may choote to cast upon me, but my regret is for my wife, whose name phould be associated and incorporated in dispatches transmitted all ovtr the country. Now. as always, my detire has been to do that which would contribute to the happiness of my wife and children. If I have in any way failed. God knows it has not been prompted by a desire to do so. Now, as well as ever, I want that which will bt contribute to the happiness of my family. If my wife tihnks a separation will contribute to her further happiness than her mind and mine shall be alike. I have done nothing to merit the obloquy cant upon me. Those who best know me will tell you what my desires are in this matter. God has b.essd me with wealth. I have never used it for any mean or unmanly purpose, ily heart and haid have always been open to those in distress. and will continue to be to thote who seek or require my help. I repeat that in this matter with my wife, which has been made s- J public, I have nothing to sav farther than that it rains me to see her name and mine associated ith such dastardly and vindictive aispstcnes as nave gone forth to the world. I am the man, and will fhield her name at every point in my power." Ihe Beginnings of felekness. Never trifle with what are called small ailments. A disorder easy of control at first, if neglected for a few weeks may become a mcrUl disease. Be especially careful net to let debility gain upon you, for it is the door through which all maladies enter the system.

For the miseries of dypepsia, and tbey include almost every unpleasant feeling that be longs to pnync.u disease and mental wretchedness, thh potent tonic is a cer.sin and speedy blni. THE WOULD.

I lelt forced to try it, altlioiiRli I had seen many things advertised that never did me any pood. I have now taken two small bottles and one large one of .SarsaparilU. and used three boxes f Ointment. I now call myself cured. Nothing cr.n be seen of the humor but the dim outlines ol the sores. I shall take two more bottles, and then the cure will be complete. 1 ain gratefully yours, EDO All F. WHITMAN. Biliousness. Sick Headache. Pittsfifxd, Mars. Messrs. C. I.
