The Proposed Work or the Com-
fng Year in Connectlcut Har—
_ :bbr’s. ' . ..
WASHINGTON, July 11.——Thc engineers in
charge of river and harbor improvements
hive subnlllttcd projects to the chief of cn-'
ginecrs‘eillbodying the work which will he
carried on under the appropriation contained
in the river and harbor appropriation bill
during'theprcsent fiscal year. Following
are the propositions regarding work in Con—
necticut‘harborsz' ’ '
‘St'onin’g'ton harbor—With the $25,000 ap—
propriated it is proposed to make asurvey of
the harbor, with a view of submitting plans
for an easterly“ breakwater. It is expected
that a small part of‘the appropriation will be
necessary to complete the west breakwater.
New Haven.’—Thc appropriation of $15,-
000 is to be applied to widening thesixtcen
foot channel which has been dredged from
deep water above Fart Hale to Tomlinson’s
Bridge. II. is proposed to increase the width
of this channel to 400 feet.
Milford—The $5,000 appropriated is to be
expended in extending the dredged channel
to the docks at the upper end of the harbor,
making a channel sixty feet .wide and four
feet deep at mean low water, and with'any
‘sum remaining to make such repairs to the
lower channel as may be needed. _
Bridgeport..—‘It is proposed to devote the
$10,000 appropriated to widening the main
ship channel, from Long Island Sound to the
city wharves. This channel is now 200 feet
wide and twelve feet ‘deep, and it is pro-
posed to make it 300 feet wide.
Soutbport.-—Thc $2.500 appropriated will
be applied to extending the four foot chan—
nel to the wharves, and making it as wide as
the funds will allow. It is proposed to make
this channel throughout 100 feet _ wide and
four feet deep at mean lowwater.
Norwalk.——With the $5,000 appropriated
it is proposed to make achannel 100 feet
wide and six feet deep at mean low water
from Long Island Sound as far towards the
steamboat landing as the funds will allow ;
also to make the channel 100 feet wide and
six feet deep at mean low water from Greg-
ory's Point to Nor-walk. ~
Thames Riven—The $25,000 appropria
led will be expended in the removal of
shoals, rocks and sands east of the New
London railroad whsrvcs, and to make a
channel 100 feet wide and fourteen feet
deep at mean low water at such'places be—
tween the mouth of the river’and Norwich
as may be found advantageous. -’
Housatonic Riven—The appropriation of
$20,000 it is proposed to devote to securing
a depth' of seven feet at mean low water
through the cross channel below Stratford
at Mill bar.
. Breakwater at New Haven.—The $30,000
appropriated is to be expended in placing
rip-rap stone‘ in the breakwater between
Southwest ledge and Quince’s ledge at the
entrance to New Haven harbor. The work
wa‘s‘cbmmenced in April last. ‘

Former Wrecks on the Sound.
The losspf‘the NarraganSctt by collision
with the Stonington" recalls the circumstan-
ccs attendiogsome of the principal fatal
disasters to passenger steamers on the Long
Island Sound since the establishment of steam-
ship lines on that highway in 1822. The
first‘eollision between steamers was on the
night of _ May 14, 1831, when the Chancellor
Livingston,of the line between New York
and Providence, ran into the steamer Wash-
ington of the same line off New Haven, :1
little before midnight. The Washington
was struck just forward of the wheelhouse,
and her whole bow was stove in to the water‘s
edge. She sunk in fifteen minutes from the
time of the collision. There were fifty-two
passengers 'on the Washington, but all were
taken on board the Livingston before the
Washington sunk.
One of the most terrible disasters which
ever occurred on the Sound was the loss of
the steamer Lexington, running between
Providence and New York, Which occurred
on the night of Monday, Jan. 13, 1840, when
the Lexington was on her trip from New
York to'Stonington. The night was intense-
ly cold, the thermometer below zero, and
ice was rapidly accumulating in the Sound.
She left New York at 4 p. m. with about 165
persons on board, and a large quantity of
freight. The space under the promenade
deck was packed full of cotton, and freight
was piled up to withintwo or three feet of
the covering of the engine. Supper was
served at six o’clock, and there were two
tables'surrounded by passengers, about 7
o’clock, when off Huntington, L. I., there
was an alarm of fire. In the terrible panic
that ensued,the passengers lost control of their
reason, and acted like madmen. The boats
were lowered into the water in front of the
paddle-wheels, and were, of course, swamp
. ed in a' moment. ‘ The life—boat was dropped
down into the water, and drifted away with-
out being of the slightest service in saving
life. In fact, of the four persons saved, not
one was saved by boat. -
On the eve of Thanksgiving, 1846, the
Atlantic. of the old Norwich line, was
wrecked off Fisher’s Island, and over 100
lives, including many prominent business
menof'Ne'w York and Boston, were lost
She had left. Allyn's point for New York
with'a partyintent on visiting friends and
spending Thanksgiving with them, when the
disaster cecurred. '
On the 24111 of July, 1861, the steamer
Eagle's Wing, Capt. B. C. Cromwell, was
burned off-Pawtuxet. while on her way to
Providence to take an excursion party to
- Black Island. The'fire was discovered in the
: boiler hatch and spread with great rapidity.
3 The steamers Perry and Bradford Durfee
: were near, and their boats brought off the
’ three passengers and the crew. The boat was ‘
. headed for Sabin’s point, but she drifted back
’ and sunk off Pawtuxet. Her engineer was
~ Charles Smith, the fireman who was saved
from the Lexington.
' The steamer Metis, a propeller running be-
tween New York and Providence, while on
her way from the former to_ the latter city on
the night of Aug. 30, 1872, Was run into off
Watch Hill, near Stonington, about 4 o'clock
in the morning by a' schooner, and a hole
kicked in bet-bottom. A heavy storm pre-
vailed'at the time, and, after being struck,
Capt. Buxton, in command of the Metis, not
realizing that his vessel was injured, delayed
acme fifteen minutes in looking after thé~
schooner that he had struck, to- see if she
was disabled and he could render assistance.
The steamer Stonington came alongside and
offered assistance, but, supposing his injuries
clined the proffer and started on his course,
leaving the . Stonington to look after the
schooner. The Metis continued on for about
half an hour, when she was discovered to be
sinking. She was immediately headed for
the shore, but had made so much water and
being heavily loaded, she continued to settle
sofast that she soon sank. There seem to
have been plenty of life-preservers on board,
but some of the passengers, in their selfish
fear, appropriated two or three to their use,
so that many on board had none to use.
There were op board the steamer when she
sank 161 persons. including passengers, oili—
'cers and crew. Of this number 141 were
saved and 20 were drowned, their bodies be-
ing recovered shortly after the accident.
The other disasters on the Sound have been
mainly of a nature, resulting in damage to
vessels only. The'wonder is, however, that
on this much—traveled waterway. which is
' from time to timc'visited; by dense fogs,there
has been on the whole such a remarkable ex-
emption from accidents as there has been.
Fog, the' enemy of safe navigation, must, in
sonic way, be mastered, and it would seem
as ifthe electric light offered the only means
of penetrating the fog to any considerable
distance; and warning of approach. I

Sultry July and humid August bgar an ill-
rcpute among men which they have not de—
servod._ “Dog—day weather" is a finalepise
thef. of opprobrium. Yet, curiously enough,
the dog—days originally received their name.
as a matter at 'honor and dignity. The long
headed Egyptians, observing that the Nile
certain brilliant star, called by that orb of
bencficent influences Sihor, the Nile. "And
Ias its coming warned them to their terraces
out of reach of the flood, they typified it as
a dog, or a man with a dog’s head. ' The
Latins adopted the star as Sirius, but forgot,
or never knew, its significance, while igno-
rance, mistaking coincidence for the cause,
ascribed to it a baleful increase of the heat.
In time the popular belief declared tbht on
its rising wine turned sear, dogs went mad,
all other animals began to waste, and man
to decline. . The Romans even sacrificed a
brown dog to appease its, rage.
Superstition has a deep root. Macaulay's
school boy may repeat till he is hoarse that
this slandered luminary twinkles at the re-
assuring distance of two trillions, two 111m—
dred thousand billions of miles from our lit-
tle sphere, while'the illustrative cannon ball
travelling four hundred and eighty miles an
hour, must consume five hundred and twen-
ty-tbl'ee thousand, two hundred and eleven
years in the journey thither; science may
reiterate that rabbies, whatever its nature or
origin, is not exclusively at midsummer mad—-
ness; every year, notwithstanding, panic
terror concerning hydrophobia recurs, and
walks hand in hand with wholesale slaugh—
ter. ‘
Yet the patient, faithful, taciturn creatures
thus despitefully entrcated have been the
unselfish friends and servants of man since
the dim antiquity wherein that naked sav—
age suddenly bethought himself to make a
coat of his companion's skill. Indeed, your
dog is your only unquesticning and free-
hearted lover. Other animals return a vague
attachment for benefits received. Humanity
rigidly exacts its quid pro quo; to be loved
of his kind, one must be lovable. But a
man’s dog clings to him through ill report
and good report-I-suflers, starves, dies at his
hands, and counts'itself happy in the oppor-
tunity. I I ' -
Did not Plato the Broad swear by a dog 3
Did not the famousdog of Alcibiades cost
seventy mines—a thousand dollars of our
coinage ? was he not even more esteemed for
his sagacity than for his beauty? and did not
his fidelity withstand the coarse capricts, the
cruel indignities, of that brilliant master
from whom all other friends fell away? Did
not that greater .general, Willam of Orange,
love his dog as.well, and honor him much
more?
man nor woman, cherished his dogs with
afondncss bequeathed to him possibly by his
grandmother, Anne of Denmark, who kept
a retinue of those followers, and paid a very
pretty annual bill to Master ch’of, the
court goldsmith, for their gold and silver col-
lars and emblazoned blankets, thereby con—
tributing, no doubt, to the endowment of his
famous hospital. It was that royal lady’s
successor, her present Majesty. of England,
who, inheriting the family taste, presented
and made him a fashion.
Whofamoug us, being examined as to the
events of King John’s evil reign, could re-
member ene, save the signing of Magus

What a dreary waste of dates and bloodshed
is the hisIOry of the Crusades; but at the
name of Roswal, the dog of Sir Kenneth,
how the hot sands of Syria, the splendor and

Sultan S'aladin, the aspirations, the preju-
dices, the very image of thetime, rise before
us! . ' ,

Art has loved him. Who thinks of Sir Wal-
ter without Maids? Is not Flush beloved by
Mrs.‘ Browning’s lovers? Can we separate
heroic little Miss Milford from her faithful
spaniel? Is not Byron’s Boatswain fitly sep-
ultured at Newstead Abbey? Who can read
without tears that perfect story, “Rab and
his Friends”? Who has not a tender feeling
for the invisible, beloved ”Schneider who
comforts scapegrace Rip Van Winkle in his
distress ? Who has not known and loved the
dogs of Landseer 1’ How many tombs of the
old knights bear a sculptured dog to show

bolized courage and magnanimityl 'What
innumerable records of fearlessless, self-
sacrifice, patience, sagacity, devotion, justify
that good saying of Hammerton, “I pity the
man who can live a dogless life.”
It is true'that in cities there is no room fer
the dogs. They must be crowded out, with
countless other good gifts of Heaven. The
dog is a natural rover. He loves 'free air,
free ways, the smell of the. fresh turf. Shut
in to alien pavements, Scorched by the
sun, pinched by the winter winds, parched
with thirst, faint with hunger, the race dete—
riorates, develops - strange diseases, and
from man’s safeguard becomes his possible
danger. .
with water, shade and kindness, the nobler
breeds of dogs, which alone should be per-
petuated, are no more dangerous in August
than in January, which is morethan can be
said of man, who often develops a most un-
certain, not to sayIferocious, temper under-
these brazen skies. Let us, then, be reason—
able. Banish poor Tray to the country,watch
cessive apprehension of the whole canine
species. We shall have gotten a step farther
indiscriminate carnage of dogs of. all degree.-

I “Joe’s” Dash‘at Poker.-
[Albany Times]
The most accomplishing-looking colored
gentleman in the hotel’porter line in this state
is “J as," who officiates in that capacity in
the DelavaIu house. . Unfortunately, “Joe”
has an idea that he is an expert at poker. He
'is very often anxious that some of the dei—
tinguished poker experts who stop at the
Delavan should try him on those points,
but though “Joe" makes about $100 a week,
at the Delavan, he doesn't usually have mon-
93' to engage in any of the games of these
experts, because he “bucks” the faro bank
to often.
Recently a good chance was given “Joe"
to show his skill. Senator Weedin was play-
ing a simple game against Senator McCarty,
and, both of them are acknowledged experts
in the game, when' “Joe" happened in the
room.I . Senatbr McCarty at cncé said .
"Here’s my man! Joe, 'will you take my
hand for a few moments? There are'several
menI down stairs-who want to see me,”
“Joe" jumped at the chance. “Why of
course, Bah,” he said, “if Mr. woodln is
agreeable '
Mr. Woodin was agreeable, and Mr. Mc-
Carthy left, first, giving instructions to “J cc"
to play his best and bet up to any amount.
Depositing$10,000 in scrip notes on the table
in front of him. “Now said he. “I am re—
sponsible for anything you may doj.I. :Bet ac-
cording to your own views and I’ll back you.”
With that he went out. . “Joe” dealt'ahd Ire-
ceivcd a couple of queens. Mr. Woodin im-
mediately bet $l,000. “Joe’s short'hair stood
on ends. He thought that was a pretty sav—
age sort of beginning. He’d like to wait
till Mr. McCarty would come back. Mr.
Woodin said he could not sit two or three
hours over a small bet like that, and “Joe"
must either see him or pass. “Joe" lost
heart and laid down his hand, showing
two queen‘s. Mr. Woodin inadvertently
laid down his hand, as he pulled in the
wager,and showed a lonesome pair of dances.
"For the land’s sake! Mr. Woodin‘" said
“‘Joe" in terror. “You didn’t never bet al
that money on them two little ones ?”
“There's the hand. If you can find any-
thing elsein it, maybe I didn’LI”
“Joe” sighed. “Well,” said be, “if you
do that often with me, you’ll be a poor man
’fore Mn'McCarty gets back.” . I
Mr. W oodin dealt and “Joe” received a
pair of aces. He bet $2.50. Mr, Woodin
“Joe" heaved a
dreadful_sigh, .
“Aint there no limit to this game ?" be
asked helplessly. _
“No, we never play with a limit,” remark—
ed Mr, Woodin sharply.
“Joe” looked at him a ;long time.
“You tried that on me a: litsle while ago,"
said he, “and I believe you're blufilng. I see
you, and I want three cards.”
He put up his money and drew his cards.
Mr. Woodin saw his countenance fail. Mr.
~Woodin drew one card. “Joe’s anguish
showed itself in the heavy heaps on his
"corrugated brow. -“Land’s alive I” he mut-
tered.
“Well, it’s your bet,” said Mr. Woodin,
calmly. Joe had only -his two aces. “I
reckon I‘ll pass” he said “Well, what sort
of business do you call such a slow perform—
ance as this '1’" said Mr. Woodin, impatiently,
“I bet $3,000 more.” '
trembled until the cards rattled.' "'Mr.
Woodin.” he said, piteouslv, "jest do me a
favor. I don't want to .play no other'man’s
money, and I’ll never do it again. Jest drew
an desc bets and let me quit. Mr. McCarthy
can do his owu betting. I won’t at dem fig—
.ures." Mr. Woodin said “certainly,” divided
up the pol: again, and then laid down his
hand. He had just exactly that same pair of
deucesl , Joe rushed from the room.
, Food For She Bears.
The other day a lady, accompanied by her
son, a very small boy, boarded a train at
Little Rock. The woman had a care—worn
expression hanging over her face like a fat-
tered veil, and many of the rapid questions
asked by the boy were answered by uncon-
scious sighs. .
“Ma” said the boy,“that man’s like a baby
ain’t he '1’” pointing to a bald-headed man
sitting just in. front of them.
“Husb.”- '
“Why mustvI‘hu'sh ?” ,
After afew moments silence: “Ma, what’s
the matter with that man’s head '2"
“finish, I tell you. He’s bald.”
“What’s bald ?” '
“His head hasn’t got any hair on it.”
“Did it come off ?” *
“I guess so."
“Will mine come off?"
“Sometime, may be.”
“Then I’ll be held, won’t I '1’"
“Yea". ~
“Will you care ?” ‘ » -
“Don't ask so many questions.”
After another silence, the boy exclaimed -
“Ma, look at that fly on that man’s head.”
1" “you don’t hush,‘I’ll whip you when we
get home.”
“Leek/l there’s another fly. Look ,at ’em
fight, locket ’cml” ‘-
“Madam l" said the man, putting asidethe
newspaper and looking around, “what’s the
matter with that young hyena ?"
The woman blushed, stammered out some-
thing, and attempted to smooth ' back the
boy’s hair. . _ .
“One fly, two fly, three flies,” said the boy
innocently, following with his eyes abasket
of oranges carried by the news they.
"Here, you young hedgehog,” said the
bald-headed man, “if you don’t hush, I’ll
have the conductor put, you off the train.”
The poor woman, not knowing what else
to do, boxed the boy’s ears, and then gave
him an orange to keep him from crying. -
“Ma, have I get red marks on my head?’ .
"'I’Il slap you again, if you don’t hush.'.’
‘ ‘ “Mister,” said the bcy,aflera short silence,
“does it hurt to bc baldeheaded?”
“Youngster,” said the man, “if you’ll keep
quict,‘-l.'ll give you. a quarter."
The boy promised, and the money was paid
over. '. .
The man took up his paper, and resumed
his reading.
“I want my bald—headed money," said the
boy. When I get bald-headed, I’m going to .
give boys money. Mister. have all bald—
headed men got money 7" ’
The annoyed man threw down his paper,
arose, .and exclaimed: “Madam, hereafter,
when. you travel, leave that young gorilla at
home.Hithcrto,I always thought that the old
prophet was very cruel for calling the she
bears to kill children for making sport of his
head, but now I am forced to believe that he
did a Christian act. If your boy had been in
the crowd, he would have died first. If I
can’t find another seat on this train, I’ll ride
on the cow-catcher "rather than remain here.”
“The bald-headed man is gone," said the
boy ;. and the woman leaned back,.al_ldblew
a tired sigh from her lips—Little .Rock
