BRIDGEPORT.
“Baby Elephant,” is almost the whole
theme of conversation heard at present ; on ,
the streets in the hotels and all public places
as well as at home. Barnum is now “a
bigger man than old Grant,” and since the
important event occurred, he seems younger
than he was twenty years ago, his three score
and one years sitting very lightly upon him.
There is scarcely a hamlet in this portion of
the world accessible by telegraph that ere this
has not been apprised of “baby’s” birth.
About 0 o’clock last Wednesday evening,
word was sent out from the winter quarters
of the great show, that the long expected
event was about to occur, and two hours
later in the presence of a few human beings
and nineteen elep ants the little stranger
came into the world. Its weight at birth
was 145 pounds, It is a female and at the
present writing is doing well and is full of
play as a young kitten. Its mother (Queen)
displays an affection for her offspring that is
truly wonderful. Mr. Barnum has received
from Mr. Cooper a former owner of Queen,
an offer of $200,000 for her and the “baby,”
Mr. Barnum refused the offer, and says he
would not take half a million dollars for his
prize. Ever since the birlh of the baby
there has been a constant application for
passes to the show grounds but all such are
refused except the members of the press,
and scientists. If the little animal lives and
there seems to be no doubt of it at present it
will prove to be the greatest attraction of

WESTPOR'I .
When the fierce wind blew Saturday night
and forced the snow into drifts, many said,
and truly, “whats terrible storm—the worst
I have ever known, etc.” And indeed it was
terrible, but the record indicates it a mild
one by comparison. In January 1841 snow
began to fall about the 8th and continued
two days and nights. The first day the
wind drew from the east then hauled to the
west and the snow in some places was ten
feet deep. The;storm closed with a fall of
rain which froze, forming a crust of crest
thickness, upon which man and beast could
walk without difficulty. In 1847, a furious
three day's storm of snow occurred, and the
numerous disasters by sea then taking place
are yet well remembered. The Winters of
1856468, and ’74, gave snow storms, born,
as it were of an entirely different family
from that of Saturday, and the three days
continual snow fall April, 1854, commencing
on Good Friday, 14th, show the past to be
marked with frequent instances of violent
disturbances. The latter storm, as all
.iemember was followed in May by rain and
flood which carried away bridges here and
throughout the state and in the Borough of‘
Norwalk, which town was given thereby its
first chance ‘to rid itself of an unsightly
structure and bridge at its centre, and to
'supply- their places with something more
artistic and substantial. Talking about
Saturday’s event and that of Tuesday, there
can be no doubt of the truth of the claim
that nature, and her right hand assistants,—
the weather prophet are pretty well resolved
to give us the average this year of storms
and cold, and if their clerk keeps on predic-
ting as it has done in the papers, and the
same are verified, the present season will
take its place prominently as one of bliz-.
zards and severity. ' .
. Additional men have been set at work by
Cornwall & Patterson in the new factory,and
more to follow. The removal of machinery
to Saugatuck by this .firm, reported as
indicative of their design to abandon West-
port, is explained thus—the machinery need-
ed repairing and it could not be done else-
where. an inside view of the factory now
shows a great industry progressing.

Mr. Rufus Wekeman obtained the sash for
his great building in New York. When the
contractor was asked why he did not get
them here, he replied: "Because New York
supplies them 25 per cent. cheaper than can
be had here. '1 his explains, partially, at
least, why Westport stands still while’ her
neighbors advance. The machinery to: mak.
ing'sash and the men, are here, but the price
demanded are so great. that customers leek

the level of those in the general market, there
should be no grumbling because of home hus-
ineu .stsgnation.

Saturday, just before the snow began
falling, men were hurrying barrels of onions
into Capt. Serene Allen‘s schooner at Sang-
atu‘cf, the idea being to take advantage of
that enterprising skipper’s plan to get a mid-
wiuter freight into New York markets. A
few hours of storm sufilced to show how full
of deceit are the fairest promises of Febru-
ary“ The chances of,a spring sale for those
onions are good.
Helped by snow and other causes Friday
night, several freight cars jumped the track
near the depot, and much labor was required
to get them in position without damage.
Agent Murphy had an all night’s job of it.
The mildness and serenity of Thursday

“ How many types of the many-sided
brakeman we have traveled with," said the
jester, musing over five years of platform
travel. “There isthe plural one,yon know,
who always doubles up on the names of his
stations and calls out " Cleveleudsl Cleve-
laudsl Change ears for Hudsous, Revenues,
and Akronsl This car’s for Buffaloes! ’ ”
“ And the jovial one," said the fat passen-
ger, “the jolly brakemau, who is,always hap-
py; who, when- we ruu into a penitentiary
town, always shouts, ‘Moyamenssugl Change
suits»! f Seven years for refreshments! ’ If
you tell him the fire has gone out, he wants
to know who left the door open. The crosser
the passengers are, the merrier he is, and it
would be a thing without parallel to see him
mad.” '
‘ ‘And the dismal brakeman,” said the cross
passenger, “ who puts wet wood in the stove
and leaves the door open, and spills grease
on you when he lights the candles,and if you
ask him when we get there,he sigh: and says
we may never get there. He points out of
the window at a whistling post and says,
‘There’s where number six ran of! and killed
’Billy, last week.’ And when we cross a
ravine he says: ‘ This is the same kind of a
bridge the Ashtabula disaster happened on.’
And he points to n heartbroken-looking
man two seats ahead of you, and tellsyou:
‘ His wife is dead. We’ve got her in the
baggage car.’ And then‘ in a determined

adds: ‘ Only one he had.’ ”
“And the cautious brakemsu,” said the and
passenger, “the slow-spoken man who always
looks at his watch very carefully before he
will tell you at what hour the train is due at
the terminus, and looks oht of the window
very earnestly to get his landmark before he
tells you where you stop for dinner.” '
“ And the iraseible duffer," said the man
on the wood box, “ who roars ‘ New! ’ when
you ask him if this is a mail train, and hangs
the door against your elbow every time he
comes in, and informs a bewildered wo-
man who wants to know how she can get
to Niblet’s Siding that night ‘ that she can
get off at the tank when we stop at Brews-
ster’s, run down on 12 and catch 22 coming
back on 15’s time, and that the only train
that stops there.’ And he gets so filled with
wrath that he has to go out on the platform
now and then and swear it of! at the little
snow birds on the telegraph wires. 1 know
him,” the man on the. box said, as be rubbed
his elbow with pathetic emphasis.
“ And the liar,” said the woman who talks
bass, “who tells you that the train 'makes
close connections with other trains at places
that are not junctions, who tells you he’ll
build a fire in that car after they leave the
next station, and you find that station is the
with your bundles and then runs back into
the parlor car to talk with the engineer’s
daughter; and who always tells you he has
no key when you ask him to turn a seat for
you. ”—Burlz'ngton [Jaw/ceyc.

Railroad Sociabillug
“ Speaking about the sociability of railroad
travelers," said the man with the crutches
a'ud a watch pocket over his eye, “I never
got so well acquainted with the passengers
on a train, as I did the other day on the
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. We were
going at the rate of about thirty miles an
hour, and another train from the other direc-
tion telescoped us. We were all thrown into
each other’s society, and brought into imme-
diate social contact, so to speak.
1 went over and sat in the lap of a corpu-
lant lady from Mauitoba,and a girl from Chi-
cago, jumped over nine seats, and sat down
‘on the plug hat of a preacher from LaCrosse,
with so much timid, girlish enthusiasm, that
it shoved his but clear down over his should-
ers. “

visits made to the sick-room by even people
who have the best intentions in the world do
real harm, especially if the invalid be in a
low state of nervous prostratiou. A few
suggestions like the following, if carefully
observed, would make one’s visits to the sick-
chamber helpful and soothing:
1. Only call at the door, unless you are
sure your friend is able to see you without
harm. '
2. Enter and leave the house, and move
about the room quietly. .
3. Carry a cheerful face, and speak cheer.
ful words. | ' _
4. In order to cheer, you need tell no lies.
5. If your friend is very sick, do not fall
into gay and careless talk in the attempt to be
cheerful. ,
6. Don't ask questions, and thus oblige
your friend to talk.
7. Talk about something outside. and not
about the disease and circumstances of the
patient.
8. Tell the news, but not the list of the sick
and dying.
9. If possible carry something with you to
please the eye and relieve the monotony of
the sick-room; a flower, or even a picture
which you can loan for a few days. _
10. If desirable, some delicacy to tempt the
appetite will be well besto'ed.
11. The perfume of some flowers is injuri-
ous, and they should never be carried into the
sick-room. Especially is it true of the tube-
rose,heliotrope,byacinth,orange,lilac;syringa.

The Folly of the Day.
There is a dreadful ambition abroad for
being “genteel.” We keep up appearances
too often at the expense of honesty; ‘and
though we may _uot be rich, yet we must
seem to be “respectable,” though only in the
meanest sense—in mere vulgar show. We
have not the courage to go patiently onward
in the condition of life in which it has pleased
God to call us; but must need livein‘souie
fashionable state, to which we ridiculously
please to call ourselves, and all to gratify
the vanity of that unsubstantisl, genteel
world, of which we form a part. There is a
constant struggle and pressure for front seats
in the social amphitheatre ; in, the midst of
which all noble, self-denying resolve is trod-
den down, and many fine natures are inevi-
tably crushed to death. What waste, what
misery, what bankruptcy come from all this
ambition to dazzle others with the glare of
nppare ut worldly success, we need not de-
scribe. The mischievous results show them-
selves in a thousand ways—in the rank
frauds committed by men who dare to be dis-
honest, but do not dare to seem poor; and
in the desperate dashes at fortune, in which
the pity is not so much for those who fail as
for the hundreds of innocent families who
are so often involved in the ruin—Home
