The GAZETTE implies that the tax-
payers of Norwalk will have .tO pay the
heavy expenses of the injunction pro-
ceedings. The GAZETTE is mistaken.—
[Hour.
Well, we shall see, if either our bor-
ough officials (who give their services
to the public practically for nothing)
or the overburdened tax-payers, con-
sent to have the heavy legal expenses
loaded on to the parties named. in. the
injunction, then everybody, exceptMr.
Maples, will be mistaken.
Mrs. Emma J. Gompf leaves the ser-
vice Of the DAILY GAZETTE to-day, to
return to her first, love, the Hartford
’Courant. Mrs. G. isa lady of varied
and exceptional abilities, as an all-
around newspaper worker, and of
course such qualifications come high,
and it is as useless for the five months
old DAILY GAZETTE to bid against the
accumulated wealth of the more than a
century old Courant, as it would be to
compete with a gold mine, and so we
reluctantly consent to ‘her return to
Hartford, wishing her all sorts of good
sloop navigation” with our more affluent
friends of the Courant.

A Curious Loss and Find.
Rev. Dr. Van Alstyne lost a valuable
and much prized pair of . gold eye
glasses in the Grand Central depot, »
New York, yeste rday morning. Yes-
terday afternoon he stepped into Spen-
cer’s to get another pair and mentioned
his loss. ~ A little later, Mr. Filly of f
the Saugatuck Iron Works dropped
into Spencer’s and said he had picked
up a pair of eye glasses in New York,
with the Spencer name on the case and
thought possibly this might lead to the
discovery of the owner. Filly was at
once informed of the clerical owner and .
gladly left them, and now the worthy
Doctor rejoices over one of the luck-
iest losses and returns of the lost prop-
erty. he ever experienced.

WHAT- MISS__S_PINSTER SAYS:
That Miss Julia Lockwood of East
avenue speeds gracefully along on her
new safety bicycle. The invention of
the safety bicycle was a masterpiece
of ingenuity, and the invention of the
woman’s safety was a stroke of genius.
That Mrs. Horace Hubbell has her
niece with her for a visit. '
That Burgess Vanderhoef is treating
his house to a new coat of paint.
That a fashionable dressmaker in New
York is erecting one of the finest resi-
dences in the fashionable quarter of
that town. _ It is presumed that most
of her customers are living in flats.
That the way to prevent trousers
get up and give the lady your‘seat.
That with the coming of the warm
weather the bath houses will be.in
bloom. Then the small boy will be in
the swim.
That both men and women in this
country lack repose, because they have
not learned to know the benefit of pure
leisure or the saving grace of dehcious
idleness. Few have the courage to
squander an hour, if time can be called
squandered which is devoted to com-
munion with the calming delights of
nature or in social union with one’s fel-
low men. Health both of body and
mind is needed to produce the true re-
pose of manner, of which the benefits
are beginning to be realized in this
country.

Nothing to speak of. There
