AND SCHOOLS.
Blessed be that provision of or-
dinary school work that dismisses
the children during the heated
term and turns them out to grass
to return invigorated and refresh-
ed in body and mind to resume
their labors in the new term
which opens not until the burning
heats of summer are past. Re-
ference was made to this in last
Sunday’s discourse. This fact em-
phasizes the opposite idea of the
perpetual recurrence of all that
makes up the busy round of life.
The philosophers have despaired
of discovering perpetual motion.
This may be because the jealous
old mother of us all Nature has a
monopoly of the business and has
been carrying on her processes
uninterruptedly since the begin-
ning if beginning ever was to that
which no mortal thought can
span. The sun drinks in its tons
of moisture from the great ocean
precipitates it in dew and rain
upon the thirsty land the land
sheds all that it does not absorb
and turns it into the streams that. -

somewhat and all-
UHHf whom are all things and
jHKm are all things and by
Ve all things and of
wrwr» we know no more that he is
whonAhan that he is what.
The bhe thing that we do know
is movement of this un-
seen unknown somewhat is as
ceaseless as that must be which
moves from the unbeginningness of
things to Aeir unendingness and
in that movement involves with it
all the intricacies of universal
movement. The growth of the
mountains and the development
of the life that ends in an hour;
the unfolding of a petal and the
unfolding of a humanity that has
no time limit in the ages of its ex-
istence; the growth of a glacier
J nd the swift development of a
xountain torrent; the evolution of
the mind of the ages and the
buried evoking of animal feeling
in these and In all else is there ob-
servable this ceaseless working of
these unseen and unknown and
uninterpreted forces that are vari-
ously named or misnamed Jeho-
vah Brahm Jove God Nature
Force just as the caprice or teach-
ing of the individual elects.
The Light preacher has no
quarrel with no criticism for any
or all of these. He only emphas-
izes the great truth of the perpet-
uailsm of the movement thus car-
ried on. Emphasises it in order that
his great congregation might
mark learn and inwardly digest
that which it teaches and instruct-
ed thereby grow into better things
and thoughts in consequence of the
teachings.
In this school of the perpetual
we are taught that the intermit-
tent cannot have knowledge of the
unintermittent; that the Unite has
no measure for the infinite; that
time is so small a fragrent of eter-
nity that we cannot gain any true
idea of the one from the other;
that it is folly to try and fathom the
unfathomable and know the un-
knowable; that we might as well
try to take the waters of the Illim-
itable ocean into our own hand-
made and homemade cisterns as
to take in that all Inclusiveness of
which we are so inflnitessimal a
part. Thus It is that the wise learn
to respect that of which they know
so little and refrain from dogma-
tizing concerning It.
In this school of the perpetual
we are thought that it is only the
section of the great globe of the
infinite and universal that comes
withih the little line of our person-
al observation that we are concern-
ed with and that it is not for us to
strip the vail from the face of the
rest and putting our little lor-
gnettes to our eyes calmly essay to
pick flaw;o in universal construc-
tion. /
We'are taught a profound res-
pect for that which we do know
ilot and in this respect we grow
tolerant to the last degree of those
who differ from us no matter how
widely. It teaches us to look to
everything for some knowledge
and to nothing for ail knowledge.
It renders us suspicious of the
credentials of those who claim an
intimate knowledge of the things
that are too high for them. It
clothes us with a reverent mind for
the workmanship of the unseen
and unknown artist and architect
and wisely leads us to concern our-
selves with what he has pictured
for us rather than endeavor to sur-
prise him in the secrecy of his con-
structions and wrest his personal
history from him.
In this school of the perpetual
we are taught a proud humility.
Proud because we are a part of that
universal movement; humble be-
cause we cannot mark its move-
ment or find more than a passing
trail of its passing in the plainest
of soils. Proud to feel that we are
one with the universal movement
that has been observed from the
first day of human consciousness;
humble to understand so little
even of the ministry of that move-
ment in the higher evolution of
our own natures. Proud to know
ourselves beyond the fingers of a
criticism orecclesiasticism or bigo-
try that would rob us of our birth-
right in that movement; humbled
to know that too often we have
ourselves endeavored to do the
Jacob business for some poor Esau
of the race.
In this school we are taught a
marvellous restfulness in the
midst of its universal restlessness.
We learn that movement and un-
rest are not one that movement
according to law is the surpeme
condition upon which rests all the
most deligtful restfulness. We
are not under passion under cap-
rice under favoritism under per-
sonal government but under un-
iversal law conditions that in-
variably work out in their great
evolutions a just relation a true
proportion in all thoughts and
things. Weareat restswinging at
anchor upon the bosom of the infi-
nite sea bound yet free. Bound be-
couse we are ever at our moorings;
free because we are carried by the
infinite movement into all the out-
widening atmospheres and illimit-
able spaces that are universe.
Thus we leave the great world
to wag as it will and we only at-
tend to our own little wagons. As
we cannot govern or change or
understand or direct we take
things in their pure present and
let the future shake hands with
the past ourselves confident that
of neither can we know more than
that one is theddor of our entrance
into life and the other the gate of
our exit.
This Sabbath then in this heat
and enervation how delightful to
rest in the consciousness that we
are not responsible in all this un-
iverse for more than ourselves
and that of this universal motion
of which wo are a part all that is
ours is to harmonize our motion
with that general movement and
pass through life with as little
friction as possible. This Is good
hot weather gospel and as such it
is commended to the congregation
of this morning.

THE LARGEST HeRRICK..
It Hu Lifted frem the Quarry a Stone of
Fifty-Seree ToU
A piece of mechanism like which
there is none other in the world is the
gigantic steel derrick at the C. E. Tayn-
tor granite quarry at Barre VL The
mast which is ninety-nine feet high
stands higher than any similar one yet
erected. Both the mast and the boom
are built of heavy steel plates riveted
together with hundreds of large bolts
BIGGEST DERRICK IN THE WORLD.
and stiffened with a number of trusses.
The mast is sustained by guys running
from the top to points averaging about
two hundred feet distant and anchored
to trees or great rings set into the
granite ledge. The wire rope In the
guys and other rigging would make a
continuous line almost a mile in length
and the weight of the derrick exclu-
sive of rope is about fifty thousand
pounds.
The boom is seventy feet long and
commands a large amount of working
surface. None of the Barre granite
quarries is deep; the tendency has al-
ways been to extend operations later-
ally instead of going down into the
earth so that the advantage derived
from the great length of boom is appar-
ent.
The machine is operated by means of
a powerful hoisting engine and all the
workings are controlled bv a single en-
gineer. There are steam derricks at all
the large quarries and granite manu-
facturing plants in Barre but the
power applies only to the lifting; the
booms with their loads of stone in every
instance are swung around by hand
power. At the foot of the Tayntor der-
rick heavily planked over to protect it
from flying stone when blastin'* oat
refuse granite is the turning gear col-
nected by a wire rope with the engine-
house where by means of a lever simi-
lar in its workings to the reversing
lever on a locomotive the engineer
alone is able to lift from the bottom of
the quarry swing around to the side
track and place upon a flat car a block
of granite weighing forty tons. The
largest single piece of stone ever lifted
from a quarry in America bj’ means of
a derrick was taken from this quarry
and weighed fifty-seven and one-half
The derrick has always been found
equal to any strain put upon it and has
several times broken chain links nearly
two inches in diameter. The company
has an order for a granite shaft fifty-
five feet in length which in the rough
will weigh nearly one hundred tons. It
la already partly quarried.
ASA S. BUSHNELL.

Henn Party of Ohio.
Asa S. Bushnell nominated for gov-
ernor by the Ohio republicans is the
eldest son of Daniel and Harriet Bush-

parents when a child. In 1851 he came

in the city of Springfield then but a very
small town was spent as a clerk in a
dry goods store after which he be-
came a bookkeeper. In 1857 he formed
a partnership with Dr. John Ludlow in
the drug business which he continued
until 1866 when he became interested
in the concern of which he is now the
head under the name of Warder
Bushnell & Glessner company. During
the war he was captain of company E
One Hundred and Fifty-second regi-
ment O. V. 1. which company he re-
cruited and served as its captain in the
Shenandoah valley under the com-
mand of Oen. Hunter in 1864. In 1886
he was appointed quartermaster gen-
eral by Gov. Foraker in which position
he served four years. He was one of
the delegates-at-large to the national
convention in 1892 all of which posi-
tions were given him without solicita-
tion upon his part. His generosity is
proverbial. At one time he presented
the city of Springfield with a patrol
wagon and team of horses and at an-
other timy a bronze>irinking fountain.
AMONG OUR EXCHANGES
Galveston News: The Idea that
the people are becoming stronger
and more independent in their po-
litical opinions is enough to run
an old-time campaign overseer
wild.
Waco News: It is practically
decided to transfer the splendid
exhibit made at the California
Mid-winter Fair a year ago and
which cost $500000 to Atlanta. If
this is done and the south does
not equal or excel this wonderful
display the result will be favor-
able to Cat state at the expense of
the south.
Paris Advocate; President
Cleveland cannot deceive the coun-
try into the belief that the tariff
will be the coming national issue
by stating that he believes Mr. Mc-
Kinley will be the Republican
nominee for president in 1896.
Finances overshadow it.
St. Louis Republic: There is
no longer any doubt of the con-
struction of a break-water and
other harbor improvements at
Aransas Pass Texas. The contract
calls for twenty feet of water over
the bar by 22d of next January
and thirty feet when the work is
completed. This will give St.
Louis and the southwest a new out-
let for their export trade to Mexico
and Central America.
Gonzales Inquirer: The Caban
patriots are haviag a rough time of
it. It is now reported that the
Spanish are preparing to send
out a convoy of provisions poison-
ed and cartridges'loaded with bul-
lets but no powder. As the Cubans
have been in the habit of capturing
their supply trains they hope to
get even with them in that way.
That is civilized warfare with a
vengeance.
Yoakum Graphic: The News
and Post published a long list of
independence celebrations through
out the state. We will venture a
large sum of money that there
were not one half the number of
people present which the tele-
grams represented except perhaps
at Yoakum. If there had been
there would have been none left
at home to rock the baby.
Breham Banner: Schools in
other states have commenced ad-
vertising in Texas. Citizens of this
state should take much pride in
schools and they should send their
children to home schools. Today
Texas has as good schools as any
state in the Union. Any boy or
girl can learn all they need In the
line of education without their
parents payingout enormous sums
tv schools elsewhere.
Blanco News: The darkies
down in the colony are developing
quite a talent for debate. At their
celebration on emancipation day
a part of the program was a pub-
lic discussion. The question de-
bated was “Which is the most
beneficial to us the lawyer or the
buzzard?” The umpire decided in
favor of the buzzard. We are told
the question was thoroughly dis-
cussed; all of the strong points on
each side were brought out.
Abilene Reporter : Texas is be-
ginning to hang murderers and
the sooner the law is generally car
ried out the better It will be for the
state. The idea that a man with
money can get out of a murder
case has not gotten into the minds
of the people without cause or rea-
son. There are a number of
men in Texas who have been tried
and acquitted on whose hands
rests the blood of their fellow man
who should have stretched hemp
or been confined to the state’s
prison for life.
Fort Worth Gazette: “What is
the matter with Fort Worth?”
is a question that has been put to
us.
“There was a time” says an in-
quirer “when every proposal look-
ing to the advancement of the
city’s interests was promptly con-
sidered and executed. Now noth-
ing seems to get attention except
strictly private business. Other
Texas towns are moving. Fort
Worth has apparently lost its old-
time force unity and ambition.
What is the matter?” We refer
the question to anybody who can
answer it.
Two Republics: Period'cally
the municipal council grants some
especial privilege to an advertising
scheme; at last Tuesday’s meeting
of the council such a privilege was
granted. If the council or any
member of it will inform the
public why advertising schemes
are entitled to any privilege for
which they do not pay it or he
will clear up a mystery which has
long puzzled the community.
Everybody knows that the cheap-
est and most effective way of ad-
vertising is through the newspa-
pers and that all other schemes
have been abandoned after having
been tried yet nobody has ever
heard of a city council granting
unearned privileges to newspa-
pers.
Houston Post: Think of it hav-
ing weathered the changes and
come np smiling after crushing de-
feats for one hundred and uine-
t»en years of American political
life! And on Thursday last within
six months on one of the most
overwelining disasters ever ad-
ministered to a political organiza-
tion a defeat that was charac-
terized by the friends and foes of
Tammany its virtual death
119th an-
addressed by two exgovernors who
lauded its achievements and the
president of the United States not-
withstanding his hostility to the
order.
New Orleans States: Senator
Brice is a multimillionaire and he
occupies a seat in the Senate for
no other purpose than to advance
the interests of the great corpora-
tions with which he is connected.
Aside from his treachery to his
party during thq tariff light he
was Involved with other Senators
in the Sugar Trust scandal and
the Democrates pf this country we
are quite sure will resist any at-
tempt to make him their leader in
the next Presidential campaign.
The Ohio Senatdr may by the use
of the immense health he posses-
ses succeed in having himself re-
elected to the United States Sen-
ate but he will never be a Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency
and the press will make that fact
quite clear to him the moment hie
boom is started.
Houston Post: To turn a pes-
tilence loose upon an invader is
probably excusable on the ground
that it is no worse to let him die of
fevor than to shoot him. But what
of the thousands of Innocents and
non-combatants who must go
down too? There are not only
thousands of these unacclimated
in Cuba but the Island has a large
trade with the balance of the
world and by encouraging the
scourge the insurgent threatens
every ship that touches a Cuban
port and through the ship every
port elsewhere at which it touches.
It is a ghastly agency which these
rebels have allied with them and
which they are fostering contrary
to the usages of civilized warfare
and with a reckless menace to the
health of tens of thousands of their
own sympathizerseven beyond the
Ever Faithful Isle. The fact de-
mands double caution in our
Southern States.
Carrizo Springs Javeline: The
subject of irrigation should be one
of all-absorbing Interest to the peo-
ple of Dimmitt county. We have
soil unsurpassed in fertility ;all we
want is water. This we have in
endless abundance stored up in our
half-a-dozen lakes and several
streams. The problem is merely
how to get this water on the land.
The next few years will see some
effort made toward developing this
bonanza. The water must be
taken out and it will be taken out
either by pumps or dams. Then
again nature has so bountifully
supplied ns that we can get
artesian water at; from 30 to 200
feet. This water is in an abund-
ance and if rightly used many
acres of land might be made to
bloom as Blennerhassett’s isle de-
spite the conspiracy of (cockle)
burr et al. There is an unequalled
opening here for live long-headed
farmers.
Galveston News: Grand Master
Workman Sovereign insists that
“considering the great machinery
at our command and the facilities
for reaching the people and our
disposition to concentrate all our
energies to the success of the re-
form move in 1896 I sincerely be-
lieve the people’s party and re-
form forces everywhere should join
our order and give us the most
hearty support possible.” The
question seems to be whether the
people’s party should join Mr.
Sovereign's organization or wheth-
er the latter should join the form-
er.
A Royal Invalid
St. Petersburg July 13.—The
physicians attending the Czare-
witch advise his removal from the
Caucasus the climate of which
they consider is no longer suitable
to bis condition. It is recommend-
ed that the prince should go to Al-
giers Corfu or some place on the
shore of the Lake of Geneva.

Berwick Scotland July 13.—0 n
Wednesday night the Berwick her-
ring boats encountered a terrific
thunderstorm at sea accompanied
by forked lightning and hail stones
as large as marbles. One of the
flashes of lightning blinded George
Manuel a fisherman and caused
him such a shock that his boat had
to return to shore with him.
—Mrs. Rhodie Noah of this
place was taken in the night with
cramping pains and the next day
diarrhoea set in. She took half a
bottle of blackberry cordial but
got no relief. She tben seat to me
to see if I had anything that would
help her. I sent her a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and the first
dose relieved her. Another of our
neighbors had been sick for about
a week and had tried different
remedies for diarrhoea but kept
getting worse. I sent him this
same remedy. Only four doses of
if were required to cure him. He
says he ows his recovery to this
wonderful remedy. Mrs. Mary
