The Gunmaker of llion.

JEFFERSON M. CLOUGH REFUSES A TEMPTING OFFER FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. His Health Was Too Poor to Admit Attentlon to Business. (From the Springfield, Mass., Union.) There isn't a gun manufacturer in the United States, who does not know Jefferson M. Clough. He has been intimaie- ) ly associated all his life with the de- ' velopment of the Remington and j Winchester rifles. For years he was su- ' perintendent of the E. Remington & j Sons' great factory at llion, N. Y. 1 After leaving there he refused a tempt ing offer of the Chinese government to go to China to superintend their government factories, and accepted instead the superintendency of the Winchester Arms Co., at New Haven, at a salary of $7,500 a year. It was after this long term of active labor as a business man that he found himself iacapacitated for further service by the embargo which rheumatism had laid upon him and resigned his position more than two ars ago, and returned to Belchertown, Mass., where he now lives and owns the Phelps farm. Being a man of means he did not spare the cost and was treated by leading physicians and by baths of celebrated springs without receiving any benefit worth notice. During the summer of 1S93 and the winter of 1894 Mr, Clough was confined to his house in Belchertown, being unable to rise from his bed without assistance, and suffering continually with acute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep. Early in the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He began taking these pills about the first of March, 1894, and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed was a better appetite and he began to note more ability to help himself off the bed and to be better generally. Last August (1894) he was able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of 163 acres on Grenadier island, among the Thousand islands, in the River St. Lawrence, where from the highest land of his farm he commands a view for thirteen miles down the river, and sixty of the Thousand islands can be seen. Instead of being confined to his bed Mr. Clough is now and . has been for some time able to be about the farm to direct the men employed there and he is thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis have done for him. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine company, Schenectady, N. Y and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine company. A Carious Freak. One of the most curious human freaks in existence lives in Madison county, in this state. The freak is a negro boy now over 21 years of age. The boy's head is of immense size, being fully fifty inches in circumference. He is about three feet in height and has never walked, although his limbs seem perfectly formed. But, although he does not walk he gets about briskly by rolling over and over. It is a novel sight to see the boy make himself into a ball and go tumbling about the house. The boy i3 very intelligent and delights in talking to strangers. His mother has Indian blood in her veins and has resisted bitterly all attempts of museum men to secure her son for exhibition purposes. Florida Times-Union. A Perilous Adventure It might have been for that party sent out by the Northern Pacific Railroad in the summer of 1894 to climb Mount Rainier. A climb up Mount Washington only 6,000 feet above the sea, or up Pike's Peak on a railroad, is not much of an undertaking compared with climbing on foot with provisions and bedding on one's back, over ice and snow for nearly three miles, vertically. Roped together so that if one man falls the other may hold him, one slip at places might bring death to all of them. But judging from the published -account of this successful achievement the party were well repaid when they finally stood upon the icy dome of this grand mountain, with the clouds more than a mile below them. It was a tremendous struggle to reach that point, but the view of "Nature's wild magnificence" from a height of between 14,000 and 15,000 feet above the sea, seems to have well repaid the five men who "get there." One night was passed on the rocks and in an ice cave, at an elevation of more than 11,000 feet above the sea level. The account of this adventure is published' in a beautiful pamphlet and Mr. Chas. S. Fee, the General Pass. Agent of the Northern Pacific at St. Paul, Minn., will send it to any address upon receipt of six cents in stamps. i j Low Kates to Colorado, On account of the meeting of the National Educational Association at Denver, Col., July 5th to 12th, 1895, the North-Western Line will sell excursion tickets tc Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Manitou at a rate not to exceed one fare for the round trip (with $2.00 added for membership fee).

the patriot, hale.

HIS EXECUTION BY THE BRITISH SOLDIERS. How the Farewell Letters He Wrote to His Mother and Sister Were Torn Up by a l'etty Officer Ills Noble Words. N City Hall park, New York city, stands the bronze statue of a young man, the story of whose brief life thrills all patriotic hearts. The statue represents him pinioned, awaiting the gallows, as he uttered his last words. Americans unite in admiration of his noble character, pride in his self-forgetful heroism, and grief over his untimely death. Every boy and girl in America should know by heart the life of Captain Nathan Hale. It is a story which every son and daughter of the great republic should enshrine in their memories. MONUMENT In the darkest hour of our country's struggle for liberty, this self-devoted hero inspired with fervid patriotism ahd eager to render service to his country laid down his young life, a sacrifice to the cause of American liberty. The days and weeks that followed that memorable Fourth of July in 1770 were dark indeed for the struggling colonists. Determined to crush with one effort the insurrection in her American colonies, Great Britain sent that summer a larger force than any which had before landed upon our shores. You know the story of the disastrous battle upon Long Island where the few thousand ill-clothed, undisciplined provincial troops faced a splendidly equipped army, many regiments of which were veterans. The raw American troops, despite their courage and heroism, were no match for the trained and skilled soldiery of Great Britain; and even General Washington, undemonstrative and reserved as he was, is said to have wrung his hands in anguish upon seeing his troops defeated and driven back, he being powerless to aid them. After the disastrous battle of Long Island, Washington sorely needed information of the strength and probable movements of the powerful enemy. He deemed it necessary that come skilled soldier should go, as a spy, within the British lines, and procure for him the knowledge so much desired, that he might be "warned in ample time." Captain Nathan Hale, a brilliant young ofiicer belonging to "Knowlton's Rangers," calmly decided it was his duty to undertake the enterprise upon which the fate of the dejected little army cerned to depend. His friends . 5 .- ' EXECUTION OF HALE. STUght in vain to dissuade him from his purpose. "I desire to be useful," was his reply; his only thought seemed to be to serve his country. The young officer presented himself to General Washington as a volunteer for the dangerous service, was accepted, received his instructions and disappeared from camp. He passed up the Connecticut shore, disguised himself as a schoolmaster and landed upon Long Island. He visited all the British camps upon Long Island and in New York, and made drawings of the fortifications, writing his observations in Latin, and hiding them between tho soles oC bis shoes. He had been about two weeks within the British lines, had accomplished his purpose, and was waiting upon the shore at Huntington, Long Island, for a boat that was to convey him to Con-

necticut, when he was captured having been recognized a few hours previous by a tory refugee. He was taken aboard a British man-of-war, and carried to Sir William Howe's headquarters in New York city. Here he was condemned to be executed at sunrise on the following morning. In what prison or guard house the noble-souled young patriot spent that last sad night of his life is not known; but of the brutality with which he was treated by the provost marshal into whose hands he was given over, there is abundant proof. His request for the attendance of a clergyman was refused. Even a Bible was denied him. During the preparations for the execution, an English officer obtained permission to offer the prisoner the seclusion of his tent, where writing materials were furnished. But the farewell letters he wrote to his mother, to his sweetheart and to a comrade in the army, were torn to shreds before his eyes by the cruel provost marshal. It was early dawn on Sunday morning, Sept. 22, 1776, that our young hero was hurried away from the tent of the English officer to the gallows. The spot selected was the orchard of Colonel Henry Rutgers, on East Broadway, not far above what Is now Franklin square. A crowd had gathered, many of whom afterward bore witness to the noble

OF HALE. bearing of the young hero, and to the barbarity with which he was treated by the provost marshal. This official said: "The rebels shall never know they have a man who can die with such firmness." As Hale was about to ascend the fatal scaffold, he stood a moment looking upon the detachment of British soldiers, and the crowd standing about; and the words that came from his loyal young heart in that supreme moment will never die: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." It is not known in what spot his body was laid, but the bones of the young patriot crumbled to dust in the heart of the great metropolis of the republic he helped to found. So long as the love of country is cherished, and devotion to the cause of liberty is remembered, so long will the name of Nathan Hale shine with pure and undimmed luster. The Sentiment of Patriotism. S the season comes around the spirit of '7G takes possession of the youngsters, and fire crackers and torpedoes are the delight of the childish heart. It is a wise parent and teacher who improves the opportunity to impress upon the minds of children the importance of cultivating a spirit of patriotism and love of country. Many youngsters burn powder for years without having the remotest idea of the true meaning of the annual celebration. The day is to them one of unalloyed delight, because it means a holiday, a good time, plenty of noise, in which the average child seems to revel, and an abundance of good things to eat and drink. But the sentiment of patriotism means a great deal more than this, and there should be no opportunity lost to impress this upon the mind of childhood. It is just as easy to associate Fourth of July and fire crackers with pure and unadulterated patriotism as with picnics and lemonade. The declaration of Independence is by no means beyond the comprehension of the average child, and this, with patriotic music In great variety, should be part of the program for children as well as adults. Much has been done during the last few years to impress school children with respect for the flag and our American institutions generally, and the line-upon-line-and - precept - upon - precept theory, while exceedingly useful, is much more strongly emphasized by proper observance of a day that commemorates the events of which the flag is the emblem. It is sometimes hard work and a good deal of expense, especially in small and not well-to-do communities, to get up a Fourth of July celebration; but every gathering of this sort pays the largest kind of interest on the investment In the cultivation of the spirit of patriotism and the proper education of boys and girls in th theory and practice of Fourth of July celebrations and similar observances that shall mean more than a simple good time. One half the world don't know the number of patches the other half wears under its coat-tails.

THIS FISH WAS A BIRD. Flew SO Feet la the Air, but Mr. Pierce Landed Him. Frank Pierce, a tinsmith living at Dolgeville, N. Y., while angling last week, was surprised to see a fish take the fly and sail up into the air with it. Mr. Pierce was so dazed by this proceeding that he allowed the fish to sail away with about fifty feet of line before he commenced hauling It down. He finally landed the fish and secured it in his basket. The fish is about five inches long and has the body and fins of a trout. The skin is also like that of a trout, but is not spotted, and the belly is white. The head is shaped like that of a bull-head, but has no horny protuberances. The eyes are set closely together in the tr of the head, not more than a slxteent?Tof an inch apart. J;ist back of the gills are a pair of wide spread wings an inch and three-quar,t-I ers long.

A fe nights ago a man named Zerby and his wife, living a few miles east of Elkhart, Ind., maltreated the 7-year-old orphan niece of the man, evidently with the intention of killing her, so as to be relieved of her care, as she had been making her home with them. They finally threw her into a ditch, under the impression that she was dead. During the night she recovered sufficiently to crawl out and make her way to a farm house near by where she told her story. The other night fourteen farmers of the neighborhood visited Zerby's house undisguised, and, calling them out, gave Zerby and his wife a severe whipping with buggy whips.
