' The earth excavated for the Lock Factory extension is being carted to fill up the flats in front of the railroad docks, and thus one improvement is made to help out another. “Hallo, Charley, how are you making out" was the salutation we overheard on Main Street a few days ago. “Oh, well nothing very extra, I havn’t sold any yet,” was the reply. John B. Gough could not keep out of the lecture-field this season, as he designed, and has been engaged by the'vY. M. C. A. to de- liver his new lecture in this place during the season. The P.

The New England Society holds a grand reception in New York to-night. Governors Jewell and Washburn, among other gov- ernors of New England, General Hawley, Secretary Boutwell, President Grant, and other celebrities, are expected to be presen t. Frank Ferris, Esq., was in attendance at the New Jersey State Normal Sabbath- school Institute, holden at Plainfield last week. The exercises were led by Rev. Dr, Vincent, and were exceedingly interesting. Indeed, it is said to have been the best meet , ing of its kind ever held. Rev. M. Goodsell’s logpremt Lockwood’s Hall, last Wedntsday evening, was fairly attended, and passed ofl‘ nicely. The lec- ture was varied considerably from that de- livered at South'Norwalk, and the pictures were clearly shown by means of Mr. Wor. cester’s excellent Stereopticon. The annual “Dorsey dinner" for our State Prison convicts came off at the State Prison last Wednesday, and the 175 convicts were treated to roast turkey, vegetables, coffee, mince pie, biscuit, pickled peppers, &c., and at supper they were still further indulged to cake, cheese, apples, oranges, etc. Our gallant P. M. has two tallow dips thrust into two beer bottles,’with two globu- . lar kerosene lamps, and then you can scarce see his gas burnt There is a screw or a re- tOrt or something lose, down at the gas ‘ works, again, but Hanford has “gone back" on the post-office worse than any other 10- cality we visit. An exposure has just taken place of the ’oflicial management of the Kentucky Insti- tute for the Blind, by which it seems that the Principal, B. M.

The services were in accordance with the programme printed in our last, and the attendance was as large as could have been expected when it is considered that the So- ciety in Norwalk is yet in its infancy Parallel Railroad. Several meetings have been held indiffer- ent towns along the proposed line of the new railroad. There is a general interest felt in its success by our people, and the prospects are that thc subscriptions will soon warrant a commencement of active operations. Tire company will legally or- ganize the present week. The N. Y. & N. H. Railroad have very sensibly withdrawn all active opposition, as Well they may, for the experience of New J crscy practically demonstrates the fact that each new rail- road built out of New York hasnot only increased the business of the old road, with which it was supposed to be in special com— petition, but that it has enhanced the values of real estate along said old line. The direct cause of this is apparent in the rapid in- crease of population. This augmentation is found to locate proportionately along the lines of the older as well as the new roads. That the stock value and business of the New Haven road will be thus enhanced all well informed men aver, and all experience elsewhere has proved. By the time the Parallel can be possibly built and equipped there will be an increased influx of popula- tion all along the line of the old road. This increase will be more rapid pending the con- struction of the new road along the line of ill(‘ old. After that, as a matter of course, ' population will more rapidly fill up on the new a ud completed line. We think every good citizen, interested in the growth,developinent and prosperity of this Sia.t.e,—-—n0 matter whether he lives on, and owns property in, or along the line of the New Haven road—will do all in his power to encourage and help this new enter- prise, and urge it to its most rapid comple- tion. If no higher motive than sordid sel- fishness were to be invoked, then we claim on that score, that every property owner on the line of the old road will find it to his personal and pecuniary interest to aid in the construction of a second or even a third railroad to New York. The construction of mg iron draw for the New York & New Haven Railroad’s new- bridge, at South Norwalk, necessitates the obstruction of the harbor at that point, for a period of forty days, more or less. All vessels with up-town freight must therefore unload at South Norwalk until the bridgeis completed. The railroad company is held for all damages, and officers of the road were in town, last week, arranging for the carting of freight, &c., to and from that point. The work is being rushed as fast as practicable, and if the weather holds good, the draw may be finished in a month. 0 The Norwalk Sociable Club, of Which Wm. Randcl Smith, Esq., is President, and which has been giving a series of private sociables during the winter, is to give a com- plimentary sociable to its friends next Thursday evening, . at Lockwood's Hall. Judging from the rumors thickly floating in the air, the entertainment will be an elegant and enjoyable affair. We are requested to state that at the N or— walk Sociable next Thursday evening, the galleries of the hall will be closed. Gentle- men with overcoats and hatswill not be ad- mitted to the floor of the hall room. Carriages, to avoid confusion, will deposit their company with horses heads towards East Avenue, and take up in reverse order. a The Fourth Methodist E. Church of Nor- walk is progressing finely, under charge of Rev. Mr. Haulenbeck. It already numbers, over fifty members, and over one hundred children have been gathered into the Sab- bath School. The new church edifice has been enclosed, and will be finished up as soon as the weather is suitable. The ladie’s of the church are to . give an Oyster Supper this evening, and invite their friends every- where to attend. Go and enjoy‘a pleasant social reunion, and thereby give the Society much needed aid. o»~——-——— At the Democratic caucus. last week Mon- day cvening, the following delegates were appointed to the several conventibns :— State—Levi Warner, J r., Asa Smith, S.

We are always delighted to see boys enjoy- ing themselves, especially when engaged in some rational and healthy out-door games, but there is one game which theyfrcely in- dulge in which ought to be prohibited, and that is the dangerous game of “shinney.” Not content with playing the game on the ice, the proper placc,if any—the boys in this vicinity play it on the public streets, and evéu 'in crowded business localities where they are very apt to hurt somebody, break valuable windows, or do other damage. At Winnipauk, last Friday afternoon, a son of Mr. Joseph 0. Handle was badly injured by being struck in the eye by a shinney “block” several other boys have been badly hurt in playing this game.

His subject is “Inter- national Place and its relation to the Work- ing Classes.” The admission is free, and all interested are invited to attend. Of course our people will be glad to avail themselves of this opportunity of seeing and listening to the distinguished lecturer. * 0 Rev. Mr. Davies, of the Baptist Taberna- cle, leaves us on the lst of March, to accept a unanimous call from the Central Baptist church in Norwich. This information will be received witbiregret by all who have been so fortunate as to make his acquaintance. He goes with the sincerest regrets and best wishes, of his people and the community, which is the best possible compliment a Pastor could desire. It is certainly better to depart amid the regrets of all, than vvith a lack ofa single parishioner’s friendship. -'-—-——--.-4.r-.-——————— ‘ Hartford has decided to reject present plans offered for their State house and to in- vite a still larger number of architects to compete in picture making with the under- standing that they must so repress their wild imaginations that the structures may be erected tor the modest sum of $900,000 each the odd $100,000 being needed for the ground. - —+4. The members of “La Variete Sociable ” are to be congratulated upon the success of their complimentary entertainment given at Lockwood’s Hail, last Thursday evening. It was certainly one of the finest dancing parties ever held in this vicinity, and noth- ing better could have been dcsired. The attendance was just about large enough for the capacity of the Hall, the floor being fill- ed with dancers, and the galleries by their friends. The company was composed of members of our most refined and cultivated familiesand guests from orher places, who would have been welcomed at any private party. The beautiful Hall was decorated in exquisite taste with choice flowers and rare plants kindly loaned for the occasion by the ever-genial proprietor of Elmenworth. which were chamingly arranged by the gardener, Peter Guige, and were the admira- tion of all. In addition, a large number of hanging baskets were suspended from the galleries, and evergreens in wreaths and fes- toons woven in with flowers, assisted in the general adornment together with oil paint- ings and chromos. A young flower girl was in attendance and dispensed small boqueis to every guest. The ladies were elegantly at- tired, and all the colors of the rainbow were in profusion. Jenkins would have had a has field for the exercise of his peculiar talent, but in this company his presence was not desired. The music was furnished by Wannemucher, of New York, and gave thorough satisfaction,adding largo iy to the pleasures of the evening. At in- termission small tables were introduced, and light refreshments were furnished to order by Frank Mead& Co. Carpets were laid from the sidewalk to the doors of the ball- room, chiuese lanterns decorated the en- trance, au‘d everything was provided for the comfort and pleasure of the guests that could be devised by the committee. The company dispersed at one o’clock, a com— paratively early hour, every one having ap- parently enjoyed the entertainment to the utmost. . ‘ —‘—~o.r—.——— FREQUENT ms'rArvcns of the cure of can- cers by means of a tea madcf mm the common red clover have been published of late; and as the remedy is certainly a harmless and inexpensive one, the qualities claimed for it should be generally known. The Bos‘on Herald says that a well-known sea captain of Newburyport feels certain that he has been cured of a cancer on his nose by drink- inc.tea..made from .nlover tons. ,and using tion. What was considered a full-developed cancer twoyears and a half ago has now almost disappeared under this treatment. .7-—.—— One of the sorest annoyan'ces of this life, for all women and most non smoking men, is the necessity of breathing air poison. ed by the stale fumes of a cigar or pipe. The nuisance is everywhere : at the fireside, on the street, in hotels, on. railroad trains, in the counting room, in—sthc minister’s study , and it is everywhere intolerable to all ex- cept the smokers. The extent and gravity of the offence committed by smokers against common politeness and the rights of others, can“ only be understood by the sufferers themselves. If any one has a right to smoke at all, he has no shadow of a right to smoke in public, or where his strangling fumes may reach the lungs and brains of innocent passers-by. Only the final resur- rection of all the world’s martyrs will tell how many otherwise loving and reverent wives have turned with suppressed loath- ing, or nausea that could not be suppressed from the foetid breath and cxhalations of tobacco- saturated husbands. ‘ N. Y. Observer. o . MUTUAL EMBARRASBMENT.—In a small town on the Schuylkill river there is a church in which the singing had run down. It had been led many years by one of the deacons, whose voice and musical powers had.been gradually failing. One evening the clergyman gave out the hymn, which usual, and the deacon led 06‘. Upon its conclusion the minister saidz—“Brother B. will please repeat the hymn, as I cannot pray after such singing.” The deacon very composedly pitched it in another tune, and the clergyman proceeded-with his prayer. Having finished, he took up the book to give the Second hymn, when he was inter- rupted by the deacon gravely getting up. and, in a voice audible to the whole congre, gation, saying :—“Will Mr.——make anoth- er prayer? It would be impossible for me to sing after such a prayer as that.” 0 Every good Republican deprecates the habit into which some Republican papers have fallen, of referring disparaginglv to leading Republicans. Whatever the object ,may be, these papers are playing into the hands of the Democrats, and to that extent they are deserters from the Republican ranks. He is not a true soldier, no matter in how many campaigns he may have fought, who furnishes ammunition to the enemy. Washington Chronicle. 0 Judgeflameson of the Superior Court of Chicago ’rendered a decision in the case- of Mrs. Waite, whose vote was refused by the judges of election, and who subsequently brought action against them. The plea of her counsel “that suffrage is a natural right under the constitution of the United States the constitution of Illinois, the declaration of independence and the decalogue,” the judge denies, as the right to vote 18 acquired wholly by the consent of those who have power to grant or withold. The special pleading that a general law, in its terms admits" a special construction, he calls a "heresy,” and unworthy of entertaining, which settles the suffrage question in Illinois for the present. It is but fair to add, how- ever, that the judge tempered his severity by adding, that whenever the general de- mand shall seem to warrant it, laws may be framed to permit women to vote—if they want to. ———._...4.p—.——— An Irishman one morning went out very early in search of some game on an estate where the game laws were strictly enforced. Turning a sharp corner, whom did he meet but the gentleman who owned the estate, Paddy, seeing the game was up, coolly advanced toward the gentleman and said: “The top of the morning to your honor, and what brought your honor out so early this morning ‘1’” The gentleman replied by saying: “Indeed, Paddy, I just strolled out to seeif I. could find an appetite for my breakfast ; an‘d’then e eing Paddy suspicious ly, said: “And now, addy, what brought on out so early this morning ?” Paddy re- plied: “Indade, your honor, I jist strolled out to see if I con (1 find a breakfast for my The you g ladies of Warsaw, Kentucky, have taken advantage of leap-year, and are sending invitation cards ‘to young men requesting their company to the parties.

Bissell, John J. Cape, Henry H. Elweli, Edward Beard, Eben Hill. Jr., all of Norwalk. Henry I. Hoyt, Esq., was reelected President, and Eben Hill, J r., Secretary. The condition of the company is rapidly improving under Mr. Hoyt’s careful and able management, and his devotion and constant attention to the details of the business must result in- a highly prosperous career. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Norwalk Lock Company, held at the Company’s office, in South Norwalk, last Wednesday, the following board of directors was elected for the ensuing yeah—Eben Hill, Norwalk; Philo Brown, Waterbury; B.

The articles manufactured by this Company are in constant demand all through our own country, and some articles are exported to Mexico, South America, Italy and Germany and the foreign demand is increasing. Harbor Improvements. Since it seems conceded that we are to have our Harbour dug out, there is a lively rise in mud-flats and salt meadow marshes. The “middle ground” has also become a prize in the speculative mind. It is well known that our enthusiastic young friend Frank B. Smith theoretically “located” as a “squatter sovereign,” on this submerged island, but it seems he is chiefly to have his claims of ownership contested by “Sandy," who in his repeated submarine explora- tions, has actually planted his feet upon the soil and thus covered all the ground. There’s no use fooling with Sandy’s claim, unless he is bought off, we’ll bet on his foot prints. - Jenny Lind Goldschmidt, with her family, is spending the winter at Florence.

Aminister who lived near the seashore was preaching one day to the congregation in which were several sailors who had just been shipwrecked, and had narrowly es~ caped drowning. He spoke of the den er to which our souls are exposed of being lost forever on account of our sins, and compared sinners to drowning men, who catch at anything to save them. When be compared Jesus to a plank floating on the waters for the drowning men to lay hold of, he told them how safe those were who laid hold of this plank, for, “O my friends l” said be, “this plank bears—this plank bears 1” One of these sailors was converted by the sermon he heard that day. Fourteen years afterward the minister was called to see a dying sailor. It was the same man who had been led to become a Christian by the sermon just spoken of. He thanked the minister for that sermon, and especially for what he said about Jesus as “the plank that bears.” . “These words,” said he, “have been a rent comfort to me ever since. And now I la in peace, because Iknow that this plank bears.’ Those were the last words that he spoke. Clinging closely to this plank, he has landed safely on the heavenly shore beyond the reach ofstorms or danger. And "here we see how that good minister, like the air, was supporting life when he preached Jesus to those sailors, and spoke of him as “the plank that bears. ’ shall not be employed in military service,- of that city last week fora pass to Russia._ A Valuable um. Rev. Augustus B. Collins, an aged Con- gregational minister well known and re- spected in this community, has just donated his library, with the exception of a few volumes selected by his friends, to the Zion M. E. Church of this place. It consists of about one. hundred and thirty volumes of theological and other works. It is to be used by the pastor of the church exclusively during his stay, and is not to be removed from town. Each successive pastor of the 2d M. E. Church is to have free access to it and general charge over it. Should ‘the church to which it is donated cease to exist, the library is to be given to the Wilberforce University, of Zenia, Ohio. The church now under the charge of Rev. Mr. D’Orsay, is in a flourishing coudition. The Sabbath school is supported by a corps of teachers from the 2d M. E..Cliurch. A good re- ligious interest prevails in the congregation. The donor of this excellent gift occasionally preaches to them, and though over eighty years of age, his bow still abides in strength. Long and faithfully has he served his church, and now, as he makes ready for his departure, it is pleasant to fiiid him making this thoughtful and liberal provision for the' future usefulness and intellectual advance- ment of our colored brethren.

The young man had just passed the verge of earlyiianhood, sur- rounded by loving friends, reflecting his own lovliness of character,—with rich promise of usefulness and a bright future, when con- sumption marked him for his prey. Amid the cold dreariness of winter, the youth, with life and hopes thus untimely blasted, is home from stricken parents and sorrow-‘ ing friends, to his last resting place.

Though she numbers her male admirers by the scores, yet not one of them sought to bask in the sunshine of her smiles that day. A'young man in Columbia conrteda girl for a week. Knowing that procrastination was the thief of time, he got a can of oysters and a license, invited the justice to his fair one‘s house at 8 o’clock, and then popped the question, was accepted, pulled out his documents, and informed the maiden that the squire would be there at eight. She pleaded delay, he couldn’t see it. Her silk dress wasn’t made; calico would do. There was no stove in the west paritr; ofi'coat, and in ten minutes there was a fire roaring.

Wughburu-Legislnturc. Bos'ron, JAN. 29m 1872. Mn. EDITOR.—Tlle subject of annexation still continues to agitate the surbhrban towns about us. Charlestown, West Rox- bury and Brookline, are already moving in the matter, and although there is some op- position, the faet that they will unite their destinies with the great metropolis can be but a question of a few months time. Charlestown, so rich in historic interest,and the largest in population, has but a taxable area of 520 acres. Upon this is crowded a population of over 28,000 people, making an average of 57 to the acre. The addition of Charlestown will not add an acre of unoc cupied territory to Boston, which is the great lever by which the others are to be hoisted into the city’s limits. As a result of this crowded population, Charlestown only added 13 per cent to her population in the last ten years while her brisk and thrifty neighbor Somersvilie increased at a rate of 87 per cent. However the interests oi Charlestown and Boston are so interwoven that they are virtually one, although gov- erned as two distinct municipalities. It is probable that before the close of the present decade some general movement will be made to annex the now outlying territory within a radius of five miles from the City Hall to the domains of the city. If it is ad- visable for any of these cities and towns to come under the municipal government of Boston, it is equally to the advantage of all, andamovement that would sweep them all in at once would put a stop to this un- ceasing agitation of the question which will be inevitable until they are all united. Of course there would be a great deal of oppo- sition to this wholesale swallowing up of tlie'towns about. us, but it is evident tha' sooner or later they will all be obliged to succumb to this law of municipal gravita- tion. Cambridge would struggle hard to maintain her individuality as the home of classic Harvard, and Charlestown still desires to be identifier] with Bunker Hill and the great struggle for liberty. But these objections we think are fonthe most part. imaginary, tor we cannot if we would, rid ourselves of the names of Roxbury and Dor- cheater, and we shall never separate the historic and classic memories which cluster about the names of Charlestown and Cam- bridge. The addition of either of these cities would advance Boston from her present position as the seventh city in the Union, to the sixth, while the addition of both combined would place her one 'step above St. Louis, and as the fourth city of the land. The addition of the remaining territory including Chelsea, Maiden, Med- ford. Somerville,Brookliue and Brighton, would not place her above Brooklyn, add- ing but 60,000 more to her population. In this position she will doubtless be found in 1880 the fourth cityofthe United States. The to would reduce the proportion of her foreign population from its present rate of 35 per cent to 28 per cent, but two per cent. above Philadelphia. Boston is to have a new eight-page daily in imitation of the great papers of N cw York. About seventeen years ago a similar enter— prise was started upon,but failed from proper management, sufficient energy and pluck. The promissory notes which comes from this new candidate for the favor of the reading public, give no uncertain indications of the energy, talent and financial foundation it is to possess. Mr. Maturin M. Ballou is the representative head of the power that is to control it, but it is rumored that behind the scenes are moneyed men who are to stand by it until its foundation is laid deep and sure. It will be called The Globe, and with its Re- publican sentiments will eventually be the leading paper of the city. Mr. Ballou is cal ° .abouthim-.s9me CLIIWS‘T‘JP' J's-'- “hall‘sltl'gof Boston and New York, and com- bining these with his own extensive ex- perience, will, without doubt, establish in this metropolis of New England a Republi- can journal worthy of the name. 'Mr. Ballou isason of Rev. Hosea Ballou, the distinguished Universalist divine. J. R. Osgood & Co. have recently published a voluminous work of quotations from his pen called a “Treasury of Thought.” The Globe will occupy the old Transcript Building. By the way the Transcript must be prosper- ing, for they have just given evidence of it by building a fine granite four story build- ing on Washington street just above Milk. .1 of our first-class dailies will have comfortable homes, and besides their being'ornamcnts to the city are unmistakable evidences of their prosperity. Probably no Boston paper has so few readers outside the city as the Tran- script, yet it is a favorite with the most in. teliectual people of Boston and Cambridge. The Temperance Convention last weak at the Meonion was a sprightly affair. Al- though there did not seem to be any im- m diate danger to the cause it was probably thought best to support the new governor and sustain him in his outspoken address. The Boston News which pretends to be the only temperance papcriu the city has never quite swallowed the defeat of Gen. Butler last fall and has rung the changes ever since the convention, that Gov. Washburn was pledged to the ruin interest not to trouble the question of temperance. But the matter took a new face when the Governor himself had a chance to speak, and with a. boldness that astonished the. most ardent lovers of the cause, he gave ample- evidence that he had made no very extensive pledges in that direction. His address was a bugle blast for the right, and every lover of temperance and good order throughout the state desired to shake his hand as their friend. He was a comparative stranger to the eastern part of the commonwealth, and the manner of his nomination made him stand in the light of a makeshift of the party, and the impression was general that he did not possess any superfluous stock of that very dcsirabld’ele- ment called “back bone." Never did an in- cumbrunt come to the gubernatorial chair of Massachusetts with so little exertion upon the part of himself ,or friends as William Burrett Washburn. Taken simply upon availability as a candidate for a party put to their wits ends for a club with which to strike down an hated antagonist, he was not called upon for pledges, nor does he hopefor future preferments. Consequently he had no inducements. to keep his peace. There is the usual amount of talk, about a short session of the Legislature but we can- not expect they will shake the dust of ROS. ton from their feet much before the summer months are upon us, for they are mortal and will, like the rest of humanity, want to gather “with all the work ” to do homage to Goddess of Peace as she sits enthroned at the great jubilee in June. However this is too grand and mighty a theme to commence to tell you about at the close of this already long letter, so I will reserve it until the next, when I will give you the particu- lars.

The aggregate of the deposits during the year was $191,326,788, or $157,- 58 to each depositor, an increase of $27,798; 845 over 1870. These facts indicate a very prosperous condition of the working people of the Old Bay State. Governor Washburn, in his late message to the Legislature, re- marks upon the ambitionof these institu- tions to distribute large dividends: “The natural tendency is to diminish the security for the purpose of augmenting the dividend. This ambition also leads to a practice delaying the progress and injuring the prosperity of the Commonwealth—that of charging too high a rate of interest on loans.” _ There is much of 'good sense and of conscientious regard for public interest in these remarks of the Governor. They indicate a source of danger against which the public should be warned. annexation of this territory we have alluded . was the Transcript in their new building all . Conn. Baptist Social Union.

The business meeting held at the First Baptist church at 5 p, m., was well attended, and enthusiastic. Topics of deep interest to the Baptists of the State were introduced and discussed, among which the planting of new churches, strengthening the feeble ones, and maintain- ing our educational institutions, were prom- inent. Thcintercsts of the “ Conn. Literary Institution,".at Sufheld, were presented, and appeals made calling for an endowment fund of $50,000, and an immediate subscrip- tion of 25,000 more to make needed repairs, and to place the institution on a substantial footing. Sixteen new members were re- ceived. 'After adjournment the members of the Union repaired to the Allyn House, where a sumptuous entertainment had been prepared. About seventy-five in all, mem- bers and invited guests, sat down to enjoy 'the good firings laid before them. After (lo- ing justice to the Supper, which was all that could be desired, the “feast of reason and flow of soul” began. Tire President, Jas. L. Howard, opened the bail in his usual fe- licitous manner, and called out the following gentlemen, who responded in speeches, which, while more or- less humorous and spicy, were characterized by sound good s Inse.

A resolu- tion was unanimously adopted, approving the ‘action of Brown University in calling Dr. E. G.

An Edinburg woman, whose case had been thrown up by her counsel, conducted it herself with so much ability that, al- though she was defeated, the judge compli- mented her on the great skill she had dis played. The New York Cmnmem‘al Adrerti'ser says: “What’s become of Judge Pratt’s protege, the ‘car-hook’ murderer, Foster? He’s had quite a breathing spell. About six months ago somebody Said he was going to be hung. We begin to think the chap who said that must have been a writer for the Chicago paper 5.” The Pittsburg Dispatch says: “The pass‘ age by the Illinois Legislature ofthe bill ‘to provide against the evils resulting from the sale of intoxicating liquors,’ causes consid- erable squirming among keepers of groggeries in‘ that State. These manufacturers of had their own way so long that they have come to think that among their ‘inalienable rights’ is that of growing rich and fattening upon the misery and wretchcdness of the poor wives and children of sets. Happily the beneficent impulse of our modern civili- zation is gradually gaining strength enough to carry these human vampires and their pernicious trailic into outlawry. The Washington correspondent of the Louisvillle Courier-Journal is responsible for the following : There was a ludicrous incident happened at a concert last week. I believe it is an established fact that some ladies make a bustle of newspapers. To the mortification ofa younglady attending the the concert, her overdress caught on the back of the seat, revealing through the open- ing an illustrated paper. This recalls the old story of how a certain city was about to be destroyed. The women were allowed to leave, and were told that they might carry away on their backs whatever they most prized. Each woman tooka man Of the present generation it has been said they are so weak in their backs that not many men could be saved under such circumstances; but here was a young, delicate creature, with the whole Tammany ring on her back, and she smiling as if in sweet unconscious- ness.
