Too late for last week.
The fine sleighing renders everything lively
around Darieu. Business is brisk and trades-
meuare in good spirits. , _ . .
Since the Holidays the schools have begun
with a full attendance. One class has been
promoted to the upper room, which is one of
the finest of compliments for Miss Bates. '
Her devotion to her work, and her success
in advancing her pupils has given her, and
justly, the confidence of the patrons of the
school. . . . . ,. J
The week of prayer has been faithfully
observed. As was prOper s§»Un.19n;Seryicej'
has been held, fragrant with :the spirit ,jtf

Methodist church, and the last three at the
Congregational. There can be no doubt that
good has been done. '
The Ecclesiastical Society of the Congre—
gational church held an annual meeting the
3d of January. The. reports ofthe various
committees showed the church in ‘a prosper-
Ous condition. All the-currentiexpenses'of
the year have been met leaving a surplus, in
the treasury. This is as it should be. ' When
.the pastor is paid promptly and no floating
debt allowed to accumulate, everything is
hopeful. The audiences have been full
unduring the year,while some twenty have been
received into the fellowship of the ehurchr
‘The Sunday school has about one hundred
about ninety. The year previous the church
was frescoed, an orchestra built: and a lecture
room provided at- an outlay of $1,600,110 of
which'has'béen'paid. But for the constant.
drain by 'yOung men going Tawny to find
business, this would soon become one of the,
streng,_'churches of Fairfiel'd County. . .
On Thursday evening ”our honored towns -
Leggett were united in marriage by Rev. Mr.
Langlois. Mr. and Mrs. ‘H. have the kind

The invitation to a recent applebee in New
York ran as follows: “1309 Fifth avenue,

where every Bohemian might come and have
a home, rest, peace, plenty, so long as he or
she should live or care to stay. I even drew
up a plan of my city, and framed a few brief
laws for its government. I named it Utopia.

not so bad in St. Paul, after all. It began

A Tramp on “Results.”
WHAT Ill: WANTED TO GET AT—HIS WONDERFUL
STATISTICAL INFORMATION.
“I want to know whether your paper is
run in the interest of a favored few, or pro
bono publico.”
Thus said a visitor to the Detroit Free
Press editorial rooms. He was gaunt and
hungry looking; he was raggd and apparent-
ly hard up; he was unwashed and unkempt;
but he read the papers.
“Ever since ’lectiou,” he went on, as he
pushed off his hat: and took a chair, “I’ve
read of ‘Vanderbilt on the Result,’ ‘Jay
Gould on the Result,’ and a score of others
on the result. That’s all right : but the poor
man wants to be heard on the result, too.
Now, then, I'm a regular built tramp. I'm
shot-proof, nou~freezable, and have the
check of a whole session of‘Congress. I re-
present one hundred thousand men. I beg;
Ipick up things; but I'm a representative
of a party. We have no name and we don’t
vote, but there’s an army of us just the
same, and we want to be heard from on the
result.”
“Well, you can state your opinions."
“Thanks. Now then, to begin with, the
Democratic party had no new issues. They
had a good candidate, but they could not
convince the country that there was need of
a change. We fellers realized this sooner
than you did, and we talked it over under
hay-stacks and upon hay‘mows. Lots of
wheat, plenty of fruit, big crop of turnips—
we’vc just grown fat this year, We let well
enough alone, and it’s the same with other
classes.” '
f‘GO on.”
“Now, as to results. They won't be any
more or less tramps. It’s become a regular
will keep about so full. The number of shot
guns held in reserve for our class will di—
minish, good crops and good times make poo:
ple more free-hearted. I havu’t been shot at
but three times this whole year.”,
“That’s a falling ofi.”
“Guess it is! There «won’t be much
falling off in the number of watch-dogs, but
more of them will be tied up in the daytime.
I estimate that 25,000 additional dogs will be
tied up during 1881. and this will afford us
great relief. I think I’ve seen achange in the
last two weeks. "
“Quite likely.”
“l’m sure I have. Thirteen of us had a
sort of convention out in the suburbs yester-
day, and we agreed that 1881 would be the
will pursue a more liberal policy toward our
class. During the past campaign, when the
election was in doubt. it was the hardest
work to get an old coat or a used-up hat.
In the last two weeks, I’ve got almost enough
old duds to carry me through the winter.”
“That‘s encouraging.”
“Isn’t it though! I think the number of
women who slam dogrsiu our face will drop
fully fifty per cent., before the close Of—
another year. A change is already here.
This fore-noon I called at nine different
houses and the doors of only three slammed
on my toes. A month ago eight doors would
have hit me with a bang, and the ninth have
opened to let a man out to kick me through
he gate. ”
“You must feel thankful.”
f‘Well, 'es ; though I have always con-
tended that perseverance would make our
business a success. Another result of the
election is better food for us. Two months
ago I.was glad enough to get a bone and
a piece of dry bread. Now we get the same
as the family cats.”
“Have you been kicked this week ?”
“That’s another result I want to speak of.
I was in Detroit for a week in September,
and I was kicked out of thirteen yards. I’ve
been in Indiana, and not a boot touched me.
The Republicans feel too good to boot me
andthc Democrats feel too proud to vent
their disappointment by kicking a ragged
tramp. My fiscal year ends November 1 of
each year. From November 1879, to No—
vember, 1880, I was kicked 183 times. I’ve
got days apd dates right here to show you.
Taking the past two weeks as a basis, I esti-
mate that I shall not receive over sixty
kicks the coming year—perhaps not over
thirty. Now, then. have your got it all
down 1’”
“Yes."
“W that’s about all. We tramps feel
in tip-top spirits, and look forward to fat
times. Money is going tO be easy, people
will feel good natured, and have lots of old
clothes and plenty to eat seems' to have
dawned for us. Kinder sorry for your party,
but you hadn’t the issues. I did think of
striking you for a quarter, but I guess I’ll
let that go. I can pick it up somewhere
during the day, and if I don’t odds is the
differende. Plenty of boxes and hall-ways
to sleep in around here, and Sunday is the
best day in‘ the week to secure provisions.
Well all day to you. I must be looking
around for an old overcoat. Such mornings
as this kinder give a follow the cold shake.”

Getting it out of film.
They had just the loveliest sleighiug in
Philadelphia all last week, and young Keep—
itup was cut enjoying it all one afternoon'
When he drove into the stable, oh, but the
man was mad. He roared when he looked at
the horse and danced around, and as Uncle
Remus says, “he cust, he did."
"Look at that boss,” he walled, “ look at
that hosts? Ain't it dry hair on him, an’ he’s
nigh ready to drop. That’s a pretty lcckin'
way to bring in a boss. Nice man, you are,
o
Young Keepitup was fairly astonished.
“Mun alive,” he yelled, picturing his amaze-
ment in his voice, “and what do you expect
when I hired him. When a horse is costing
me an even 85 an hour, he’s got, to keep
movin, you understand. > When I’m paying
you'more than eight cents every minute, I
can’t afford to let no horse lean up against
an ice box while he figures out the cat crop
Of the United States for 1830. I did my level
best to keep my whip arm warm, and then I
couldn’t get more than $4.25 an hour cut of
him. Ididu’t hire the horse to rest him.
Now, if you had only charged fifteen cents
an hour, I would have had the horse fed
every thirty minutes while 1 was out, and I
would have rocked him to sleep in my arms,
wrapped him up in blankets and laid him
in the sleigh and handed him back to the
stable myself. That: is the difference, you
see, M. Silkcrscker. Herein your money,
and I want the same horse, or a better one
next Saturday afternoon, if the snow holds
on." _

The rare phenomenon of an-inverted rain-

A new theory of the cause of earthquakes
has been propounded by Dr. N cvak, of
Pcsth. He considers that, besides the rota.
tiou of the earth on its axis and its revolution
around the sun, a multiplicity of motions of
the earth appear in space, in virtue of whic‘
the earth’s axis, and with it the equator,
shift their position. This causes a variation
of the forces (centrifugal and centripetal)

crust has a tendency to adapt, use]; to this
change.

less. The gas would be used for illuminating
purposes. In this manner, the perfect com-
bustion of both the coal and the gas would
be ensured, and Londoners would no longer
have an atmosphere thick with particles of
unconsumcd carbon.

The N icafi'ag'ua Canal.
The Chicago Tribune of Jan. 12th printed
an article claimed to be the full text of the
paper by General Grant which is to appear
in the February number of the North Ameri-
can Révz'ew on the subject of interoceauic
canals and more particularly the Nicaragua
canal. It opens with a brief history of the
interest taken by the government, engineers
and capitalists in this country and Europe
in the construction of a canal across the isth-
mus connecting North and South America.
He points out the advantages of the Nicara-
gua route, the ease and economy with which
the canal can be constructed, the admirable
approaches to it from the sea both from the
east and west, the distance saved between
Liverpool and North American ports over
that of the Panama route, the distance saved
also between New York and other Atlantic
cities and ports of the United States, and the
cost of the Nicaragua canalhas never been
estimated above $100,000,000. The surveys
developed extraordinary facilities for the
work of construction, and makrials are abun-
dant throughout the entire line. The harbors
of BritO and Greytown are capable of being
made convenient and excellent. The water
supply from Lake Nicaragua is free from
deposit and is abundant. The rainfall Of
Nicaragua is not excessive; the climate dur-
ing the trade winds is delightful, and the
country is capable of producing all the sub-
sistence that would be required by the labor-
ers employed in the construction of the
canal. Every_stcp of this project recognizes
the right of the United States to guard with
jealous care the American 1pontiuent against
the encroachment of foreign powers. To
this policy no nation and no cluster of adja-
cent nations,watchful of theirown individual ‘
or collective interests, should take exceptions.
It is the foundation of national existence
everywhere. General Grant thereupon asserts
that the policy announced by President
Monroe is the accepted policy of the Ameri—
can government, fouud in its attidude in the
diplomatic discussion concerning the Clayton-
Bu'lwer treaty, in its protest against the
establishment by Great Britain of a protec-
torate in Central America, 'either on the
Mosquito coast Or on Bay Island. and in
President Hayes} message on March 8. 1830-
Au inter-oceanic canal across the American
ishmus would be the greatest thoroughfare
between our Atlantic and Pacific shores, and
virtually part of the coast line of the United
States. Our merely commercial interest is
greater than that of all other countries,
while its relations‘to our prosperity as a na-
tion, to our means of defence,our unity,peace
and safety,are matters of paramount concern
to the people of the United States. 'No other
great power would,under similar circumstan-
ces, fail to assert the rightful control over
work so closely and vitally at‘fectingits inter-
est and welfare. ' '
