The Supreme Court Vacancy Filled
The President on Monday nominated
Senator White, of Louisiana, for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,and
the natural expectation that he would
be confirmed was immediately fulfilled.
Mr. White 'has certain obviousoqualifi-
cations for the Supreme Bench. He
is in the prime of life, has had judicial
experience, and during his brief term
in the Senate, where he succeeded Mr.
Eustis, the American Ambassador to
France, has made a creditable record.

Sheridan Made Him ”Whirl.”
The New York Commercial Advertis-
er describes J ubal A. Early as “a tough
old fighter who never knew how to
quit.” If Col. Cockerill intends to
make the war a burning issue he will
be compelled look up the war records.
Gen. Early didn’t do any great amount
of hard fighting, but he was a great
sprinter. As an equestrian Early had
few equals, and at one time it looked
as if he might run the Union Army to
death. It will be recalled that the
Northern troops were trying to catch
up with,Jubal in the Shenandoah Val-
ley.

Couldn’t Do Better.
It is said that our new city’s energetic
and popular Mayor, Hon. E. O. Keeler,
cannot suppress a blush, whenever any
one of his hosts of friends of whatever
political party,steps up to him and tells
him that he has got to go up higher. In
short, that he must be the next man to
represent this district in the State Sen-
ate ! Well the Republicans could not
make a better or a stronger selection.
No man, in recent years, succeeded in
pulling as many well roasted chestnuts
out of the Legislative fire for Norwalk,
as did Keeler while a member of the
House of Representatives.
0..—
State Register.
The “Connecticut State Register and
Manual" for 1894, compiled under the
direction of Secretary of State Phelan,
is out. There have been added to the
usual features of interest in the book
the names of members of the General
Assembly of 1893 who have died or
resigned, the legislative rulings of 1891
and 1893,“ the state referees, police
court clerks and prosecuting attorneys,
county and town health officers, game
and fish wardens, new cities and city
officers, officers of the naval battalion,
county, city and borough statistics,a
list of cities and boroughs with date
of incorporation, etc.
We are sorry to say, however, the
same old error regarding the popula-
tion of Norwalk and South Norwalk
appears as usual, making the book un-
reliable.

S. of T.
Concord Division, S. of 1“,, gave a
splendid entertainment Monday even-
ing, which wasgreatly enjoyed by all
present. The first number on the pro-
gramme was an orchestral selection by
Messrs. Richmond and _Worden. This
was followed by gecitation of the
“Irish Philosophe.r In one of Mr.
Greenwood’s happiest moods, after
which the orchestra made all glad that
you and I and the F685 of us were pres-
ent. Fred. Merrill then got sweet
music out of flower pOts, plates, lamp
chimneys, etc. Harry Mitchell and a
young man named Hoyt appeared in a
farce that threatened to annihilate all
and would have done so had not the
orchestra taken in the situation and
commenced to play a melody that would
put a frog to sleep. Then followed
another farce in which Fred. Hoyt was
“Damon” and Harry Byington, “Py-
thias.” Had either Damon or Pythias
been present he would certainly have
enjoyed the lunch served after the en-
tertainment, and craved the pardon of
the two reporters who drank coffee.

" Sore Tongues.
Is it any wonder that there are so
many sore tongues in town when it is
taken into consideration that during
the year 1893 there were sold from the
local post office 202,155 Columbian post-
age-stamps and 134,770 of the ordinary
kind, making a total of 336,925 stamps
sold. If the ordinary boy got the lick-
ing those stamps did—well, it would
have been a horrible punishment.

Iced Poisoning
After a Severe Accident
Life in Great Danger—Hood's Sar-

" C. I. Hood 8: Co., 'Lowell, Mass:
“ My little granddaughter, Gracie E. Nash of
Boston, while visiting at our house met with an
accident which nearly killed her. She fell from
the hay mow to the barn floor almost 18 feet
below and was rendered unconscious. Her
mother took her to the Boston City Hospital.
The side of the head was badly crushed. Blood
poisoning set in and the child did not rally. She
could not eat anything; her stomach was so
rebellious that she threw off all nourishment.
Her mother sent for me and when I went to the
girl, her spinal cord and the cords of her neck
Hood’ssa‘r‘rCures
were all drawn up and a. copper color had set-
tled over her. I could quickly see the traces of
blood poisoning, and persuaded her mother to
let me take the girl back to our country home.
She consented and as soon as I reached home
I commenced to give the child Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla. It quickly overcame lier sickness and the
stiffness left her neck. The good effects were
also noticeable about the wound on her head.
In less than a month she was able to
Run About the Farm,
and in a. short time afterwards she had com-
pletely recovered her full strength and health,
and it is alldue to Hood’s Sarsaparilla.’ She
has since resided with us at the farm, and at
ervals I have iven her Hood’s Sarsaparilla
irriitd Hood’s Pills, agnd by so doing have kept her
in excellent health and spirits.” Mas. SOPHIA

TWO. new lmnut'ts \ililcli give an
early indication of spa-up. shit-s have
been much admired lllls week. One
was of black velvet with lt'_Slllflll, high
crown. The brim was bent in and
piped fVIIh apple green satin. Four
rolls of the same ribbon were twisted
around the crown and the strings were
of the same. There were three pink
velvet oleanders set upon it and two
black plumes. The other was of gray
coil with green facing. '1 here were
several rosettes of green lisse and two
large ones of dark green velvet; two
Mercury wings, three ostrich plumes
amlgan aigret completed the trimming.
Walking down West Avenue Sunday
afternoon with an observing young gen-
tleman, we passed afiouple on whom a
single glance fastened the newly—mar-
ried charge. There was no mistaking
it. But a curious illustration of the
difference in the operations of the per-
ceptive faculties of a woman and of a
man were apparent in the following.
As we passed the couple, my escort
looked knowingly at me. “ Case of b.
and g.” said he. “You are certainly
right,” said I, “but how could you
tell? Every stitch in her clothes looked
weddingy. What gave you the idea?"
“ Well, I didn’t get it from her ap-
pearance,” said my escort, “but he
looked like such an estatically happy
idiot that there was no other possible
deduction.” .. ‘
Singing in churches of all denomin-
ations is receiving more notice and
getting more prominent. The history
of music is almost the history of relig-
ion. They h_ave gone hand in hand.
Even in the days of the early Christian
Church sacred words were set to the
popular airs and ballards of the people.
Every sort of religion, even the most
crude, has made music a vehicle for ex-
pressing the reverence and praise of
the human soul toward a Higher Being.
Moses sang or had bands of singers
around him; David a as the sweet singer
of Israel, and his rhapsodies now make
melodious the churches of the Catholic
and Protestant world; Luther was a
minstrel before he was anything else;
Wesley’s'success was largely owing to
the people; and the sacred strains of
Father Faber and other Catholic di-
Vines are now heard in the services of
Christians, irrespective of the name by
which they are known. :The most illus-
trious personages of the Catholic world
even Emperors, have devoted them—
selves to church music; and the great-
est composers of the World hove reach-
ed their highcst accomplishments in the
expression of religous sentiments.

IIOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.
To-morrow afternoon and evening at
Hoyt’s Opera House, South Norwalk,
can be seen a minstrel aggregation that
cannot be excelled by any company or-
ganized in this glorious universe. That
all, old and young, may laugh to their
hearts content, Manager Hoyt has pre-
vailed upon the manager of the com-
pany to give a matinee exhibition of the
merits of the show. This of itself ought
to be sufficient proof that the company
is a good one,for were it otherwise they
Would not be willing to give 'a matinee
performance. It is all explained, how-
ever, when we state that the company
referred to is the justly celebrated
Cleveland’s minstrels, a company that
delights. entertains, instructs, amuses,
drives away dull care and is a sure cure
for dyspepsia and all other ailments of
body and mind.

Hard Times and Economy.
It is a great mistake for people who
can at all aflord to spend liberally to
practice economy in hard times. On
one occasion during the second empire,
when there was a great financial de-
pression, Louis Napoleon commanded
his ministers to open their houses and
entertain profusely, and the court cir-
cles, taking the hint. began such a
round of gayety that trade revived,
while the manufacturers, plucking up
courage, opened their mills, and a crisis
was averted. Spending is as much a
duty with the rich as saving is with the
poor, and it takes both attributes to
makea prosperous com'nuiiity.~—Ncw
