M»- ABrave Boy- Little “Tuck" Wilson of Winnipauk came dowu through the blinding snow for his budget of DAILY Gaznr'rss last night. He rs but ‘nine years old and said his customers must have theirpapers, so he trudged back with them through the deep snow. If his pal— rons don’t giVe “Tuck” an extra nickel for his New Year’s address, they are not the people We think them to be. The East Norwalk “Boomer.” We think the somewhat sensatn-nal com— munication published in the DAILY GA- zu'rrafFr-iday, is after all entitled to scri. ous consideration. It contained the seeds of several very important changes and enterprises which are likely at no very distant period, to bud and blossom into an astonishing harvest of growth and pros- perrty for all that section of our town, known as East Norwalk. O The Oyster. The esteemed N. Y. Sun thus moral- izes upon one of Norwalk’s prrmc pro- ducts and industries :— - The Brahma/1d Tim-Es locates its proposed chair for the study of oysters in the wrong place when it assigns it to William and Mary College. It should be in' William street, near Wall, in the city of New York. The oyster is a fine subject for observa- tion in that neighborhood. No oyster was ever known to have told :1 lie. None ever sneaked behind a ire to save his own shell at another oyster’s expense. No oyster cVer tried to get himself out of a mud bank by petulant abuse of a friend who was the accidental means of showing that he had fallen in. Speaking with greater comprehension, no oyster that had been entrusted with distinction and influence ch1 attempted treacherously to turn his tribe into clams -Eve1ybody knows also that one of the most meritorious Hilts ol the oyster is his knowledge when to shut up. So far as his intellectual and moral qual- ities are concerned, therefore, this genu- ine bud honest friend anti helper of the human race rs second to nobody as a mod. el for citizenship, prrvate 1 r public. Wil I liam street, near Wall, is perhaps without exception the place where the oyster-’s . . fundamental characteristies are most in need of sincere and unswerving apprecia- tion and imitation. By all means the new Professor of Oys- ter Morality should make hrs headquar— ters in William street, near Wall. —-————-———4-O->————-—---—-‘ To-day’s News. - Foreign.—The strike is over at Aber- deen; theCaledonian Company has won its flght.-‘Dr. Koch says that any deaths following the use of the lymph must be charged to improper doses, and not to the .remedyitseliG—The Prefect Apostolic of ~ the French shore of Newfoundland pre- dicts war between England and France ovar the modus vivendi.——The stearrer ShanghaiWas burned in Chinese waters; the crew, more than sixty men, perished. ‘Conaress.—Thc House met and adjourn. ed until Tuesday—'1 be‘flousc Committee on Commerce gm a hearing to the suhn committee of the Interstate Der-p Harbor Committee on 8 plan for Pan-Amexican transportation. - Domestic.-.-—Thc snowstorm extended throughout thecountry between the Mis- souri river and Maine; railroad travel was seriously delayed. -.-I11cendiary flick 311p. posed to how been lighted by leVe-ngeful ' ~ railroad graders, threatened to deumy Deadwood, S.

Dec. 26.-Tlre Hebrews everywhere are throwing their property on the market 1n obedience to the decree al- ready prepared and to be promulgated about Jan. 1, prohibiting them from own- ing real estate. In Odessa a Hebrew syn- ‘ dicate has been organized to facilitate the emigration of Russian Jews to England. In London public sentiment is strongly opposed to such immigration. Privy Councillor Stoivanovski has made a semi-official communication to one of the leading foreign residents of St. Peters. bur-g, in relation to the new anti-Semitic legislation. It is in substance that. the restrictive treatment of the Jews is made necessary by the course pursued by that people in absorbing by usury and over- reaching the money and means of the poorer classes of Russians, and that the proposed law prohibiting Jews from own- ing landed estates is intended to prevent them from acquiring by trickery and op- pression the property of orthodox Bus- aians, of which a vast amount is already in Semitic hands; that nothing is done which is not strictly requisite for the pros tectlou of the Christian subjects of the czar, and that Russia rs only leading in a course . that England and Europe generally wiJ. becompelled to pursue, unless all prop— erty is to be allowed to fall into the hands of the Hebrews. It is understood that the czar himself will take no notice of the remcnstrance from citizens of London against the persecution of the Jews. A German Religious F‘rtnatle. BERLIN.
