Arr Injunction.
Brother Maples, who is authority on
injunctions, is now the indirect victim
of one. Jerry, the irrepressible Jerry,
Jerry, one of the tyrannical Triumvirs
of South N orwalk, went to Bridgeport
yesterday, telling his friends that he
was going over there to buy some
chicken feed, but the mendacious fel-
low didn’t do any such thing, instead,
he went before Judge Wheeler and
with the aid of some wicked Bridge-
port lawyers, he got out an injunction.
We are informed that it is a dandy:
that it restrain: Colonel Samuel Das-,
kam,Major OscarWide-awake Raymond 1
and- Commodore Tallmadge Baker,
the selectmen, the town treasurer, and
the whole town of Norwalk, from pay-
ing over six cents towards the “sup-
port, upholding, maintenance, aid or
assistance” of B. W. Maples or any
of - his ccadjutors in the glorious
: cause of cultivating the fallow minds
of our adult and adolescent population.
Jerry should build an annex to that in-
junction restraining George B. St.
John from collecting town taxes and
the whole town would rise up and yell
“Jerry you’re a brick and a Milwaukee
one at that.” However, the Napoleonic
energy of Brother Maples is to be com-
mended. At the touch of the hand of
this educational magician gas pipes
were laid, electric lights planted, teach-
ers hired, books bought, 'schoOls opened,
police protection invoked, and from _
Wilson’s Cove to the Winnipauk ice
houses the educational wheels are hum-
ming as they never hummed before,
and now that unfeeling South Norwalk
Triumvir invokes the arm of the law,
locks up the paymaster’s, chestand lets
Timur" wilk‘ ' away: was the key; '
Jerry we fear you are prejudiced, we
fear you have lent a too willing ear to
the whispered villianies of your fellow
Triumvirs and thereby thrown a huge
stumbling block in the way of good
Brother Maples and his evening
schools. We use the word ,“his” ad-
visedly and intentionally because we
have not been able to find any public ‘
officer who is now willing to stand
: sponsor for this enterprise and itscon-
comitant expenses.
The school . Board denied Brother
Maples their oflicial blessing, they had
the hardihood to intimate that the law
‘had clothed them with some authority
in this matter and that they proposed
to “ run things.” This “gufi'.” on the
part of the school Board only furnished
steam for Brother Maples’ educational
locomotive, which went ahead as usual,
but now comes Jerry the Triumvir,
with his little injunction which will side
track if not ditch Brother Maples’ edu-
cational locomotive. Brother Maples
we feel confident will continue to wag,
but we apprehend “his”'assistants may
become lukewarm when they find that.
Jerry the Triumvir has cut off the sal-
ary tap. This may teach the editor that
the place for an editor is in his sanc-
tum. As an editor Mr. Maples is on-
durable, but when he tries to “run”
outside matters his personality brings
disaster oftener than success.
The Martyrdom of Crimes.
We are indebted to the South for
a number of novel and interesting
chapters in litigation. Some years ago
a gentleman residing in Florida—let us
call him Marmaduke ; its a mighty
pretty name—was indicted and tried
for having killed his, mother-tn-law.
Marmaduke was engaged in the some-
what homely occupation of cultivating
'a ten-acre patch of cotton, and in pur_
suit of that occupation was used to aris-
ing with the lark and going forth into
the field. His mother-in-law encouraged
him by arising still earlier and cook-
ing breakfast, and under this- adjust-
ment the Marmaduke household had
worked harmoniously for a very long
time. One morning, however, Mar-
maduke came down to breakfast in a
surly mood. He was-visibly riled _ over
something, and his asperityof temper
deepened when he found that a cock-
roach had been ground up in the coffee,
and that the flavor of the pot-liquor
fell far below the mark. Then after
some interchange of amenity with the
mother of Mrs. Marmaduke, he arose,
took hold of a large,yellow tomcat that
‘ , lay before the,fire, and with it, as :with',
a bludgeon or a 'sandbag, struck ;Ithat.,_
venerable female a Macedonian thud
behind the ear. 5
She died, but of the memorable trial
which ensued we need, not speak at
filled Florida with controversy, and
that, by the verdict of an intelligent
and unbiased jury, the tomcat was
stricken from the catalogue of deadly
weapons. ,
Now comes the still more delicate
and complicatedcase of Dr. Grimes,
of Vanceburg, Ky.', who has just
emerged triumphantly from a damage
suit for $1,000 entered by Mr. and Mrs.
William Hardyman. The complaint set
up was that Dr. Grimes had improperly
~ and injuriously treated: Mrs. Hardyman
for tapeworm, and had so disappointed
her expectations and wounded her vari-
ous feelings that nothing less than
$1,000 would reinstate her in her own
and'the respect of the community. Ac-
cording to the Courier—Journal, the
trial occupied three days or more, and
was the focus of an excitement seldom
known in Vanceburg previously. Emi-
nent medical men from all parts of the
state were summoned as witnesses.
Never before was such a flood of light
let in upon the nature and the habits of
that bashful reptile, the tapeworm.
Never before was there so luminous, in-
structive and significant a wrangle.
Eloquent attorneys alternately loaded
the air with eloquence and shook their
fists in each other’s faces. . Pistols were
drawn at times, and on one occasion
trouble seemed so imminent that the
tapeworm had to be removed, with
other documents in the case, and filed
away for safety.
We are glad to say, however, that
once more a free and enlightened jury
came to the rescue of worthy inno-
cence. Dr. Grimes has been thorough.
ly vindicated, and to-day he walks the
streets of Vanceburg with head erect
and fearless eye, master alike of tape-
worms and of fate.

serving of a pension for life.

Smith’s-Island.
EDITOR GAZETTE: An article ap-
peared in theHour a few weeks since,
regarding Si‘mth’s Island, which ought
to be corrected. Theoriginal owner
of the island was Noah Smith, my
great-grandfather. He lived there with
his family for many cars, keeping his
wagons at Bclden’s eck, (now Wilson
Pornt,) and swam their horses across
and back for the transaction of ' busi-
ness. My father, the late Stephen
Smith, was a frequent visitor there and
I have often heard him tell about it.
One little incident he told me was that
my grandfathers’s sister, wife of
Absalom‘Day of South Norwalk, when
a girl, performed the feat of swimming
across from the island to the Point,
a distance of one mile, one of her
brothers following her in a boat to take
her into in case she became exhausted.
The island was sold to Mr. Sheffield
when the government erected a light-
house thereon. It afterwards passed
into the hands of Gershom B.,.Smith,
a grandson of Mr. Sheffield. The pres-
ent. owners are not any relation. that.
we know of. .Nodisrespectto the other
writer, but I know the above to be corn
rect as I have. heard it from my. child-.
hood.“ Our . own- branch - have ibeen;

A hint to housekeepers : it is a. bad
plan in putting paper on pantry shelves
to use newspapers with love stories in
them. Send your daughter there for
butter and you will find her half an
hour later perched on a flour barrel
and almost standing on her head try-
ing to read a story.
A charming gown fer a young lady
has a skirt of silver gray crepon trim-
bpn anda sash of the same material,
tied in front with ends reaching to the
ground. The waist is a blouse of rose
colored surah’ with insertion of white
gulpure up and down the waist and
sleeves and around the collar. '
A clever woman recently said to me
that if Worse came to worst and she had
to find some way of earning her living
she believed she would become a “pub-
lic sympathizer. Any one could send
for _me,”she explained ‘ ‘and pour out all
their worries and troubles while I lis-
tened and sympathized for, say, twenty:
fiVe or fifty cents an hour. Everything
should be strictly confidential and I
would never allow myself to have a
greater worry or a worse pain 'or a
deeper trouble than my client. EWhat
do you think of that scheme ?
Have you ever sat in a room and
watched a girlish form bent over an
open school book, the sing-song voice
conning some difficult lesson, without
going back in thought to those by-gone
dayswhen you too struggled with tasks
that seemed so hard and tiresome? How
well you know all the ambitious hopes
that fill the pretty head and how you
can sympathize with the longing for
tiresome school days to end, though
now as a woman grown you realize that
those vanished trials were not the hard-
est ones that earth had in store for her
daughter.
To darn neatly is as great an accom-
plishment as to embroider, and it re-
quires as much care and knowledge.
It ispossible to make a darn that is
hardly perceptible if one knows just
how to go about it. First lay under
the rent a piece of the original goods,
being careful to match the plaid or
weave exactly. Baste this closely all
around, smoothing and drawing the
rent together as you go, that there may
be nothing stretched or strained out of
place when you. begin to darn. Now
trim the rent closely all around so as
to leave no fringed or ragged edges.
It is not necessary that the rent should
be cut round or square.

Manager Knapp is nothing if not en-

pOpular theatre is always crowded, as
the attractions presented are always

The appearance of the champion
feather-weight of the world, George
Dixon, and his immense specialty com-

one of the most popular of the feather-
weight champions. _
He has surrounded himself by a first-
class company, including many of the
best known performers on the variety
stage, and has been drawing large au-
diences everywhere.
The celebrated Patterson Brothers,
the triple bar experts, will appear in
their remarkable performancos.
Mazie and Teddy Aleene, the charm-

dance, will be seen. '

Minutes in a Cyclone,” in which they
are unsurpassed.
There are also several other artists with
the company.

In speaking of Sisseretta Jones, The
Black Patti, who is to sing at Music
Hall Tuesday December 12. The Bos-
ton Advertiser says : Sisseretta Jones
has been compared with the diva, Patti,
the queen of melody. In criticism of
her" singing last night it must be said
that the quality of. the Black Patti’s
voice, her great range, her power, and
the entrancing sweetness and smooth-
ness of her tone, her distinct enuncia-
tion, and the ease and naturalness with
which she handles her voice, astonished
and captivated the most critical, and
convinced them of the truth that she
had a phenominal voice, such an one
as comes as ”a gift to very few people,
_and_'having that seems to know almost
by intuition how to handle it to perfec-
tion.’ TheBlack Patti is certainly the
most wonderful singer that has ap-
peared here since the days of Clara
Louise Kellogg and Mme. Marie Rose.
