The Presidential candidate is a grandson ol President AVilliam 11. Harrison (\ Ti ppeca- noe \) the siM'Cessor of Martin Van liurc n , and is a veteran of the Civil War , serving in various positions from 1S62 unlil the end of tlie conflict.

I be Herald' s answer to tbo query is: 44 A. should go to school , \ thus practically ass u r in g tb e qu e stioner th a t tbe word 44 transp ire \ cannot b e used in tho same sense as \ persp ire . \ W ebster defines the former word as follows: 41 To l.e emitted throug h t he excrctories of the skin ; to exhale- ; to pass off as in insensible persp iration ; as , fluids transpire from the human bod y. 44 Persp ire \ i s defined thus: 41 To evacuate tho fluids of tbe bod y t hroug h the pores of the skin ; to sweat. \ The He r ald , b efore a nswering a c orrespondent so positivel y, s hould consult Webster.

HSy-Tho S IONAL calls attention ti the fact that tbo Hi g hway Commissioners oi Bab ylon town havo repeatedly been re- quested to attend to the erection of guide \ boards nt the intersection of several hi g h- ways iu the town , but though the law makes it the plain duty of those ollicials to see that such provision is made for t h e b enefit of travelers i he ro a ds h a ve been left without guide boards since the formation of the town. This is something that ev e ry to wn in the coun t y should no t fall to have carried oat , lor thoug h it may not seem necessary to the peop lo in iheir own locality, its value is apparent when the traveler is a stranger who is making bis first tri p through the Island.

B y so doinsj ihey will collier a favor on us whic h will he duly appreciated. In looking over a collection of p hoto, grap hs iu the studio of a member of the pro- fession , it sill at ouco dawned upon a re- porter that iu nearly every case the left side of the face was shown , ir. a likeness tsiken in profile. Ilis mind at onco began to re- volve iqsou tbo causa of this peculiarity. In answer to his inquiry, the p hotograper , xvho is also on artist , said : 44 It is uow a well understood fact in our profession that the two sides of a person ' s face are unlike. The ono is always moro regular iu its outline than thc other , and in most cases it in the lett sido which is tho more beautiful. \ 44 Is that actually taken iuto account in determining the position n person shall take iu sitting for a portait?\ \Certainl y it is , \ was tho answer. \ Of course , a great tuauy peop lo are unconscious of tho difference between the two sides of tho faco , but with those who havo to g ive attention lo tho appearance , theatrical peo- plo and others , it is a well known fact. A certain lad y, well known iu social circles , is so careful in this matter that she almost in- variabl y chooses , wheu in company, a posi. lion that xvill enable her to sit so as to show her faco in left p ofilc. -It is my beauty side , ' said sho to a friend who remarked upon the peculiallty. \ Is thero any other difference than tliat of mere outline ?\ 44 Well , that is tho chief difference , but quito frequentl y thero are other differences also , as in tho color of tho eyes , or tho com- p lexion , but especially with men , in the ap- pearance of the hair. It is generall y parted on that side , and it g ives a moro p leasing likeness when it cau bo shown. \ 44 Wbat do you think is tho cause of one side of tho face being more rouudod out than tho other V\ 44 It is said that tho Moid is driven witb greater impetus into those arteries which first lead off from tho main artery, and iu consequence of the position of tho heart , the left side of tho face aud head is most nour- iaLed. \ Th,; Ilc-sit Mile of tlio Face.

Thome is getting si gnatures Io a petition to ibe Long I slaiii] Rj iilroj id Company lor a train to run fn iu this p lace to tbo city at or near noon of each day except Suuday. This would be of great advantage to our community, and we hope the company may g ive us the train. We consider it would bo of far greater benefit to our place , did the trains whi c h n o w r un t hrou g h our village at such a speed as to endanger thc lives of very many of our peop le stop here. If ' these trains do not slop at our depot our Road Commissioners should demand that gates be placed at the crossing ou Main street. This is very important , as a seti- ou s a cciden t is l i able to occ u r a ny day. On July -t it is expected that our village w ill present a more attractive appearance than on any otlier occasion for many years past. Our firemen will have u grand parade in the afternoon , in which the fire laddies from Amityville , Ilicks ville and Breslau will inarch to the music of tbe Glen Cove Brass Band. In the evening there will bo a picnic in the grove , and a disp lay of fireworks will wind up the d ly ' s celebration . Every- thing will be done to make the day pleas- ant and long to be remem bered b y all who attend. Our hook aud ladder com- pany deserve great praise for their efforts lo infuse life into this community. 'fhe burning of the lir. -t kiln of luicks at Martin Meyer ' s yard was a perfect suc- ces s . There were vert/ fete soft bricks and no pale ones. The color is very dark and is considered by all to bo far ahead , in point of color , ul ' the bricks burned at the A. T. Stewart yanl. Mr. Meyer thinks he is sale in say in g th a theowns the best elay on Long Island. We hope be may be ns successfu l with all other kilns sis be was with the first , and tbat it may soon be necessary to increase his fa- cilities for turning out brick* . The ave age per tlay at present is 1 . S 00. We are informed that we are soon to have in connection with our post ollice a money ortler department. This is indeed gootl news .

Under the fence utew a kind of weetl called iron weed , and thi- ' , along the whole line of tho fence , was killed , but no.so of the other varieties seemed to have been destroyed . The strawberry festival of the X. I.. Bupiist Churc h , on Friday and Saturday 1 ist , wns a success financially and other- wise. The hot and dry weather caused an enormous quantity ofthe frozen sweets and temperance drinks to disappear down parched throats. Mr Peter Lewis , of Hempstead , who died at Ihat village on Saturday, was a brother ofthe late E penetus Lewis , ol this village. B y a curious coincidence he died on tbe first anniversa ry of bis broth- er ' s death , at precisel y llie same hour. Soft , mellow and sweet , the new bell ut the N. L.

Tho adoption of this unit wsis strictl y arbitrary. Fahrenheit adop ted n£ the th, rtsial unit the lowest degree of temperature observed b y him nt Dantzic during 1700 , an unusually eold winter. This lie produced in a measure artificiall y b y inmnsj snow and salt together. The space between the unit (hns obtained and tho point to which the mercury ex- panded nt the temperature of I,oiling water at sea level he divided into 212 parts. This scale he classified according 1., noiablo phy- sical changes produced , such as the freezing point of water , blood heat , fever heat , etc. Wo nud , therefore, on Fahrenheit' s scalo that water freezes U'J degrees or parts above his arbitrary* unit of zero and the downward gradation of the scale censes at lu degrees , for the simp le reason that at Hirst point tho mercury in tlso bulb of the thermometer freezes solid. It is well enough for peoplo to look out for their instruments when the mercury gets so low sis all -lint , for mercury, like water , expands during tlse process of freeziug and the prospects then ,i ro ruinous for the thermometer. To indicate lower temperatures thau 40 degrees Fahrenheit thermometers containing alcohol havo to be used and they are reasonabl y reliable as low as tho equivalent of 130 Fahrenheit below lero , nt which point alcohol freezes. The coldest temperature recorded was b y Narea in March , 187G , when in 82 degrees 27 min. utes north , being Tl degrees Fahrenheit. Tlio neat Celery In tho Worm.

Over 3 , 000 acres ot swamp land aro said to havo been 41 re- claimed \ and devoted to the culture of this toothsome esculent alone.

On Mon- day morning about 10 o ' clock the child' s bod y, bruised and bleeding, was found in a fi eld of clover on the farm of Andrew Titus , n ot far from Mr. Williams ' homo. The painful discovery was made by the child ' s la ther. The first glance at the bod y left no r oo m for dou b tin g t hat a brutal murder had been committed. The bead and faco were badl y bru i s e d , and there wero two wounds on the side of the head. The baje of the skull was] also fra ctured. Before the finding ofthe body Mr. Wil- liams applied to several persons whom bo m et for information as tho whereabouts of his son. Among tho number was Henry Sopor , a farm band . Sopor ' s re- p li es to ilr. Williams ' questions xvcro so singular und his manner so excited that after tho discovery of the body suspicion p ointed toward him |us the guilty per- son. Coroner Woodend , of Hun t ing t on , vvas notified of the murder , and as soon as lie reached Cold Spring Harbor and learned that Super was suspected ordered his arrest. Uo was p keed in custody, hut d enied any knowledge of the murder. lie- was conveyed ta Huntington nnd con- fined in the lock-up, and on Tuesday morning confessed tu Constable Ferguson that be was guilty of the crime. The Constable sent for Coroner Woodend at once. T he- Coroner , accompanied by Jus- tice Uendrickson , were soon with the prisoner , and to them he made a full con- fession of his crime , whicli is substantiall y as follows : \ I met the boy crossing the field back ot An- drew '1 litis - larm I Jumped upon him aud threw IMIII down on a pile ol stones anil kicked him about the bead and body. 1 left lit m there and then went home to supper. After supper I went back to llie lie.d , ami 1 beard Ibe buv moaning. 1 thought 1 would finish ihe job , so 1 grabbed him by the heels and dashed Ids head against the stones. When 1 was sure ihat ho wsis dead 1 threw the body over the lence , sunl covering it over with clover left li there. I met Mr. Williams the next morning ami iold him I knew nothing about Ihe boy . 1 then wt-iti to work . About hair-past one o ' clock I saw Con- stable Ferguson coming toward me iu Hie Held. I thought sure he was alter ire. I hurried Io to gel away, but Hie constable caught ine and arrested tne. \ Alter the confession had been reduced to wri t ing Sopor signed it. He told tho story in a strai ght ' or ward way, but it wa. evident that he did not realize its enormity. He has long been regarded as a dangerous character—being of a weak mind and when made angry extremel y violent. About ten years ago ho atteinpocl to murder a seven-year-old girl nam ed Ella Birming ham , of Cold S pring, but was prevented. For that crime lie vvas sent to State prison lor five years . After bis return fro m there he- resumed his residence at Cold S prin g Harbor. Within a year be was again in prison — having been sent there fur tiring a barn owned by Sidney Titus. lie is now in Itive rhead jail , but will pro b abl y e nd hi s days in an insane asylum . Ilo is about 40 years , of age . Coroner Woodend antl a jury concluded the inquest on Tuesday—a verdict that the lad camo to liis death by wounds inflicted by Henr y S uper being rendered. The funeral of tbe littlo victim of Sopor ' s frenzy took p l aj o on Wednesday from tlie E p iscopal Church nt Cold Spring, a nd the- remains were laid to rest iu tbe cemetery at Hun tington. The awful crime has cast a deep shallow over lhc residents of Cold S pring Har b or and the surrounding country. A CRAZY FARM HAND'S AWFUL, CHIIWB.

W0. 11 .1 .VS CHRISTIAN TK.T1 1'Ell- IXI'IS I'X'lilV Considerable al inn is being expressed jnst now by a good number of the northern edi- tors over a lesson they dra w from tho recent severe illness of a young inaii in Pennsy l- vania. It seems that this youth vvas attacked b y a violent an.i mysterious dise.iso which cntuo very near proving fatal and which for some time bullied all the efforts of the phy- sicians to d iagnose its cause. When , h ow- ever , they finall y succeeded they did it iu Hiss way s Tise young man had u best g irl , of whom he w.is very fond. The g irl had very rosy cheeks sunl the yonng man , ns the doctors found in llie prosecution of their professional investigations , was in Ihe habit of kissing thos- checks whero ihey ivvre richest nnd ri pest. Furthermore , these learned medicine men discovered that tins roses of the girl' s cheeks were not natural , but artificial , produced b y the app lication of certain cosmetics lissown to the female toilet tsible; that those cosmetics were poisonous , and that their patient in kissing the g irl hud partaken of so much of ber color that be wsis poisoucd , aud nearl y lost his life there- b y. Granted that this is all true , wo confess our inability to understand the consterna- tion tho caso is creating among the younger of our masculine contemporaries of tho north. To us all their talk about the dan- ger of kissing and tho necessity of sweariug olf is sheer uouseitse. We cattuot seo how tbo case of this yonng man has any general app lication anioug,peop.e of taste. Iu the first p lace , a mnn who would kiss a g irl ou the cheeks deserves no sympathy, whatever nv.vy be the consequences. Iu the next p lace , a man who would kiss a g irl who paints ought to bo poisoned , nn.l if the act itself carries with it its own proper penalty it simp ly saves somebod y Ihe trouble of throwing him a dog-bultou. Tho outcry whicli our northern contemporaries are mak- ing over this erise is uot iu the least comp li- mentary to the g irls of that section. Is it possible that so many of theui paint us this would indicate? We refuse to believe it. At tho same time we invito such of our northern contemporaries rts sire dissatisfied with the comp lexions of Iheir g irls lo come out to Kentuck y, where the roses cf our sweet- hearts ' cheeks ssre pt rcnuial bloomers ,, al- ways warranted to vvsish ; and psirsuloxic.il as it may sound , while their tints * cannot be extrstcted , albeit , Ihey somehow rush over him whoso li tis come iu contact xvith them as though they were a whole summer rain- bow twining about him and making a May- pole of his sp inal column—a rainbow , iu sooth , oue cud ot which rests in the gardens of the Hosperidos aud the other iu a jug o*f sugar bouse molasses.
