that, Sheridan pay the costs thus' far in

The Bridgeport News snvs that Presi-
dent \\'atrous of the Consolidated road
expresses the-opinion that the projected
Air Line railroad between New York and
Boston will ever be built. The fltI‘kfln-
tages it won d gain over the. Springfield
and Shorelinle routes in distance would
. be more than counterbalanced by the
unavoidable heavy grades and curves.
To build a double track road. as proposed
would cost about “H.000 a mile. or $38.-
01!).000 for the entire line. Mr. Wat‘
mus states that the expense of straight-
ening the curves on the New York di-
vision of the Consolidated road will be
more than the original cost of c nstruc-
tion. He does not have much f ith that
the Russian capitalists. who have been
talked of in connection with the new
Air line scheme. will come forward.

said the manufacturer. “To be sure. it
is the best pa r published. but if the
Times can be so d for two cents the Tri-
bune can. too. If they can publish great
dailies in England for two. cents they
ought to here. I won't buy it again ti l
I can get jt for two cents." “That‘s the
way it ought to be with ever thing.“ re-
torted the newsdealer. “ e ought to
be able in the same way to buy every-
thing on the same principle. and where
England will furnish them cheaper than
our home manufacturers we ought to
buy of them.“ The manufacturer gave
an imp'atieut “Humphl” and left to find
a Times to save scent. The manufac-
turer referred to doesn‘t do business in

(‘oiiictary Phenomena.
On Monday night about midnight. the
10th inst.: Prof'.L Swift. director of the
the \Varncr Observatory. Rochester. N.
Y.. discovered another comet in the same
constellation with the one recently found
by Prof. Brooks. It. is moving almost
directly toward the earth. and hence
shows very little motion. so that Prof.
Swift found it diflicult to verify and was
unable to do so until last Saturday night
The twu comets will very likely cross
each other‘s orbits in their progress. and
their appearance so nearly together. and
within so short a space of time is a most
singular. if not a significant fact.

It is intimated that Messrs. Linn &' Mc-
Carty. the eminent Anierican-lhissiaiis
are not the great engineers and capital-
ists that they have been represented to
be. and there is a great deal of humbug
about their proposed contract to build
the new road with $20.000.000 of capital
furnished by foreigners. But Messrs.
Linn & McCarty were at Willimantic on
Monday.‘and sent telegraphic dispatches
to Boston denying the rumors of their
impecuniosity and threatening libel suits.
They do not. tame". however. that any
contract has been made. but say they
have been sent as agents to examine the
proposed route and report upon its prac-
ticability. It is doubtless true that they
have been examining the line of the
suggested road. but for that matter there
has hardly been a good week for sever-
al years past when gentlemen with
equally distinguished foreign names
have not been prospecting for a new
route between New York and

happy conception in which several beau-

concluded with a burlesque entitled

The old favorite Bush was received very
cordially. and he proved an improvement
on himself even. and gave his audience
the full benefit of his coniicalities. Mad-

she can have but few peers and no supe-

Charles Turner as “Yank Salem" made a
capital negro character. and got off a
string of jckcsthat fairly convulsed the
audience. Charles H. Stanley was. a
dude as is a dude. and is a singer who
has a voice and knows how to use it.
The Misses Conway and Miss Gleason
were each well in their parts.
A fair audience greeted “Billee Taylor“

the laws for school attendance is now

laws are specific. and. when well enforc-
ed. are the means of keeping children of

enough in school to secure to them the
benefits of an education which will irove
invaluable to them in after life. I cnce
We notice with pleasure the sight of tru-
ants conducted to school by‘ an officer.
and hope that this process be continued .
until would be truants learn the majesty
of the law. But it is not to truants alone
that the law is directed. Those children
of school age-who are at work or who
are allowed to absent l themselves con-
rtinually from school dart also be com~
pelled to attend. their parents may be I
fined for failure to comp ' with the law.
and ever! employers ma ' be fined for
hiring children who have not attended
school according to law. ' \\'e are pleased
to hear that the non~attenda’nts of our
district are to be looked up; and we call
the attention of children, parents and
employers to their duties in this matter
