LOCAL NEWS. The Sixth Connecticut Volunteers will hold their annual re-union at Pleas- ure Beach this year on August 18. Charles M. Parker and Mrs. Cora W. Graves were married in Danbury Tues- day afternoon by Rev. A. F. Pierce. They will spend a part of their honey- moon at Bell Island. Mr. Edgar B. Bartram of Bridge- port, has purchased the old established grain, provision and grocery business of C. M. Slater of Stamford, and will conduct it. ‘He will also continue the present business in New York and vicinity. Mr. Bartram will probably remove his family there in the near future. The following excursions will be at Roton Point during August: 11, M. E. and Congregational churches, Ridge- field; 13, Universalist S. S. Stamford; 16, Ellsworth Post, N. Y.; 17, Mens’ and Ladies’ Aid Society, Elizabeth; 20 Essex H. a L. 00., Bloomfield, N. .1; 24, Clairmont Council, R. A. New York; 25, St. Mark’s church, New Canaan. The Department of Agriculture makes the following report for Con- necticut: Crops on sandy soils are looking well; on other soils they are poorer than a week ago. Farm work has been nearly ata standstill. All fields are so wet that nothing can be done. Corn and potatoes need sunshine. Much over- ripe hay will be cut. Peach trees were quite badly broken down by heavy storms. Mayor Wheeler’s name must be added to the distinguished list of officials, headed by Grand Juror Benedict of New Canaan, who undertook to say what hours the State law should be en- forced, and what kind of business it should prohibit. But the Mayor of Norwalk must have queer ideas if he supposes that a city ordinance will take precedence of a State law. It would be just as wise for the N orwalk Council to adopt an ordinance giving burglars permission to rob Norwalk houses at certain hours—Advocate. The fortunes of Fred Buxton, who has been misscalled the terror of Eas- ton,look brighter, for Miss Agnes Mur- ray, of Greenfield Hill, has promised to be surety for his appearance for trial. He will bring suits against the Ogdens in the sum of $5,000, and also against those who pounded him up at the time of his arrest for like amounts. He has retained Attorney E. F. Hall as coun- sel in all'the cases named, which will be brought 11p after his trial. The Og- dens will be asked to pay for the dam- age done to Buxton’s crops in a sepa1- ate suit. It is safe to say that storekeepers and others who keep open their places of business on Sunday next do so at the risk of being cited to appear in court. The fact that the prosecuting attor- ney proposed prosecuting offenders who failed to observe the Sunday law as exclusively printed in these columns yesterday, has been the cause of much talk between the parties in interest. The prosecuting attorney is credited with having remarked that “all might as well knuckle down first as last as they will have to in the end.” It is understood that South Norwalk parties will see to it that the law is en- forced at this end of the town as fully as it is in South Norwalk. The barbers seem to be specially in- terested in the matter and oddly enough it is they who seem inclined to “ cut ” each other. That they will all com- ply with the law vith a good grace is not to be doubted. Others interested perhaps of the same disposition, but feel free to repudiate what they term Puritanical nations, and think the law ought be cleanly wiped from the statute books. It would seem unnecessary to warn any one against doing business on Sun- day next, as the prosecuting attorney has stated that he will see to it that if he can help it no one will escape with a one dollar fine. . Complaints, it is promised. will come in bunches on Monday next if the law is not complied with. The "Congregationalisfl to-day con- tains an article by the Rev. Dr. New- man Smyth on the new Connecticut Sunday law. Dr. Smyth says in part: “ This attempted re-instatement of the Sunday law by a legislative act seems unwiSe and doomed to failure for two reasons. First, the mere passage of the act does not secure its enforcement, and, secondly, the re enactment sub- stantially of an obsolete law evades the I whole question as to what under exist- ing conditions a reasonable and prac- ticable Sunday law ought to be. I doubt very much the good effect in the long run of making the statute book an exhibitiom of moral laws, hung up for ornamental purposes only. The gener- al understanding. which has always been reached, that the prosecuting officers are to enforce this Sunday law only when they are obliged to do so by complaints which may be brought to them, and that except in cases of disor- derly Sunday desecrations complaints will not be brought, certainly does not serve to increase the pop ular respect for Connecticut law. “It may be said that the re—enacted law will prove a sharper tool in the ' quietness and rest, where an exasperated neighborhoo are driven by excursionists or disorder- ly people to protect their own Sabbath and, doubtless, the new law may be used to render Sunday , evening more free in some places from questifinable or positively harmful per- formances, but any attempt to enforce the law exactly as it reads would work confusion in the habits of all classes of the community,including many devout church-goers. But is it good public policy to put upon the statute-books of a state impracticable moral legislation in the expectation that either by its general non-enforcement, or by the liberalizing interpretation of the courts it will be made of no effect ‘9” A gr eat deal IS being said at present about MayorBohannan of South Nor- walk and yet, in going over the list of Connecticut mayo1s, we find no such mayor governing that city. There is, however, a Mayor Bohannan of Stam- ford—Derby Transcript. What crass ignorance is this? Mayor Bohannan of South N orwalk, is per- haps the best known man in the state to-day—always excepting our own Mayor Farnsworth, whose fame is far reaching if not immortal. Stamford’s Mayor Bohannan held his own upon the stage of action for a little time by vetoing his common council as fast as it could get up. But even in the height of his fleeting triumph the star of his fame never blazed with anything like the brilliancy of the halo Ithat encir- cles the classic brow of his elder brother, South N orwalk’s Mayor Bo- hannan, 'whose Sunday closing edict keeps his subjects virtuous, though un- happy, one day out of seven, and brings his city and His Honor out into the full glare of universal public notice. The Transcript man should “go over the list of Connecticut mayors” again. He’ll find a Bohannan mayoring every city in Fairfield county, so far as there are Bohannans enough to go ’round.

This singular leaderless structure of our government, says Professor Wil- son in the July Atlantic, never stood fully revealed until the present gen- eration, and even now awaits general recognition. The framers of the Con- stitution no doubt expected the Presi- dent and his advisers to exercise a ieal leadership in afiairs, and for 131019 that a generation their expectation was ful- filled. W’ashington was accepted as leader no less by Congress than by the people. Hamilton, from the Treasury, really gave the government both its DOHCY and its administrative strucmre. If John Adams had less authority than Washington, it was because the party he represented was losing its hold up- on the country. Jefferson was the most consummate party chief, the most unchecked master of legislative policy we have had in America, and his dl'nasty was continued in Madison and Monroe. But Madison’s terms saw Cla}r and Calhoun come to the front in the House, ready to guide and coach the President rather than be too absolutely controlled by him; Monroe was not of the calibre of his prede- cessors; and no party could rally about so stiff a man, so cool a partisan as John Quincy Adam's; , and so the old political function of the presidency came to an end, and it was deft for Jackson to give it s. new one,—instead of a leadership of council a leadership and discipline by rewards and punish- ments. Then the slavery issue began to dominate politics, and a long sea- son' of concentrated passion brought individual men of force into power in Congress —natural leaders of men like Clay, eloquent advocates like Webster, ke: 11 debaters like Calhoun. The war made the Executive or necessity the nation's leader once more, with the great Lincoln at its head, who seemed to embody, with a touch of genius, the W3)" character of the race itself. Then reconstruction came, and we were left to wonder what, henceforth, in the days of ordinary peace and industry. we were to make of a government which could in humdrum times yield is no leadership at all. The tasks which confront us now are like those which centred in the war, in which 1assion made men run together to a :ommon work. W's shall need not the mere compromises of Clay, but a con- structive leadership of. which Clay lardly showed himself capable. Birds \Vith an Eye for Color. Two orioles were building a nest near the house, and as soon as this was discovered worsteds of various kinds were put out. one lot near the olace where one bird was building and msecond lot close to where the other bird was at work. Each lot of worsted consisted of pieces 112‘. out two feet long, if the following colors—Gray, brown, light blue and light pink. .In ‘1 little while it was; noticed that one bird had exhausted all the blue worsted from the supply near her and that she seemed dissatisfied with the other colors. After some flying around the found the Second lot of worsted, from which the second bird was taking all the pink. From this place the first bird immediately took all the blue she could fin-1, while the second bird flew over and selected all the pink which the first had refused. When these colors were all gone the others were used, but not eagerly, and whenever any more pink or blue was hung out it was immediately seized on by one bird or the other. Time and again the experiment was repeated of putting pink or blue among the other colors and every time they were hunt- ed out, each bird choosing the color she Oliginally preferred. It was proof positiv e hat one lz-iid wanted one color and one bird the o.ther —Chicago Record.

That white races of mysterious ori- uin and of an advanced grade of civi- lization exist in certain of the as yet unexplored plateaus of Africa has long been a matter of tradition among all those who have devoted their atten- tion to the ethnographical and geo? graphical science of the Dark Conti- uent. But no attention has been drawn as yet to the fact that in the interior of San J ago, the largest of the Cape Verd Islands, there exists a strange people known by the name of the Cantadas, who for 300 years past have been ab4 solutely'cut 0E from all intercourse with the outer world, and who are fair- haired, light complexioned and blue eyed, whereas the remaining popula- tion of the Cape Verd Islands consists of negroes, and of Portugese, who are almost as swarthy and sombre in color as full-blooded Africans. Dis- trustful, apparently of the gaze of strangers, these people of the moun- tain seldom leave their habitations during day time, and on the slightest alarm of visitors they. seek the shelter of the rock. But by hiding on the op- posite cliffs until evening, and with the aid of glasses, it is possible to get a good view of them when they begin at sunset to gather on the grassy mea- dow which fronts the opening of the caves and extends down to the water’s edge. Beautiful fair-haired, white-skinned girls, clad in flowing white linen gar- ments, which scarcely conceal the ,sinuous beauty of perfect grace and form, come out to wash linen in the lake and to sport on the cool green grass. The men, too, are simply dressed in much the same way, their white linen garments being admirably suited to the tropic climate. Many other signs of a high degree of civiliza- tion appear, and from certain points near the summit of San Antonio it is possible, with the aid of strong glasses, to catch glimpses through fissures here and there in the wall of rock, of sheep and cattle grazing, of green fields and trees, and of white flat-roofed houses, running parallel with one another.— New York Journal. HEIR TO A THRONE. Due of the Brightest Pupils in an Amen-l- , can College. So- Mayou, a native African, and pre- sumptive 111ler of a great tr,ibe has rgladuated f1o111 Cobb Divinity School, Lewiston, Me, this year. He is plob- ably the first heir to a throne who has ever been graduated from an American college. His career at the Maine college has been pursued with the greatest ambi- tion and perserverance. Now that it is all over he is entitled to preach as a minister of the Free Baptist Church, a denomination to which all colored people are- partial. He proposes to spend the next year traveling all over the United States under the auspices of the church whose faith he has adopted. Then he will return to the Bassa tribe, on the west coast of Af- rica, near the Gulf of Guinea, and de- vote his life to the welfare of this bar- barous and superstitious people. The first effort So—Mayou made af- ter his arrival in this count1y was to change his name, taking that of Louis Pcnick Clinton. His uncle, the piesent ruler, usurped the thione, and the younger heir to it was compelled to escape to Liberia. All through his college career he has been able to keep pace with the Ameri- can students in all his studies, and now feels satisfied that he can enlighten his tribe in the English language and religion. When he rt turns to Africa he intends to remove his uncle’s jealousy by tell- ing him that he does not want the throne which rightfully belongs to him. but simply desires to found schools and institutes for the people where they may be educated and enlightened 4—New York Journal.

I feel sorry for the woman. whose hus- band is a sort of social millstone around her neck. Wherever she goes, whoever she meets, whatever the charm of her own personality, the dis— agreeable man-nerisms'of this hus- band are sure to prove a drawback to her happiness. Sometimes, studying the married couples at a hotel, I have marveled to see so many refined, sensitive women mated to perfect boors of men. What possible afliuity of thought or fancy could account for their union? What strange caprice of fate could have , brought together natures so little in sympathy? Was there ever a time when the loud-voiced, snarling man was a tender, thoughtful lover, or the cowed woman, wincing under his dis- courtesies a cherished sweetheart whose lightest wish was 'sacred? I often wonder why the WOman whois saddled with a churlish, uncivil hus- band should ever leave the blessed privacy of her own home. Surely she cannot extract any pleasure traveling around with a man Whose captions- ness and lack of consideration serve as a perpetual soul scourge for her inpublic. It seems to me, if I were tied to -a man whose chivalry and courtesy had vanished with the honeymoon I would house him and his tempers as closely as I could and seldom let the world get a peep at them. Assuredly the most delightful environments would have small charm for me if I were continu- ally keyed up. as so many women are, in anticipation of some husbandly out- break.
