' 'A Lamentable Case.
In the press throughout the country,
and especially among worldlings in and
about.’”.the National Capitol, are the
hither-t5 religious professions and ac-
tivities in matters of church as well as.
state,cOnstantly of Congressman Breck-
inridge most prominently used to point
the moral- and adorn the tale of his
downfall. It would seem that this fea-
ture in his case had been quite over-
done. ‘It is true he was always apt and
ready to respond to any. opportunity to
ventilate his showy oratory. Indeed
few public men have been so much‘in
lovefwith their own voice and the beau-
tiful nose-gays of his own rhetoric.
Many, too, accuse him of a total want
of féeling,'but~ the man has aged ten.
years since the trial opened. Smart
lawyer as he is too, he is no doubt self
conscious that he has- failed to make
the favorable impression on court, jury
and the public that the victim of his
lust has done. His story on the witness
stand is deemed so weak and purile for
a man to make that he has become the
butt of every dirty joke among his for-
mer colleagues in the House. Allen of
Mississippi, the incorrigible wag of the
democratic side, is credited with this
story illustrative ofthe eloquent Ken-
tuckian’s exhuberan't ' piety. He says
that down in his state there is a society
Of devoted colored worshipers, who
have adopted the plan of meeting once
a 'month for mutual conference and
confession. At one of- these meetings
the “power” seemed to give more than
usual fervor to the experiences related.
At length it came to Uncle Rastus’ turn
to speak. He was a long time elder
and just the faintest rim of mixed grey
and black wool fringed the base of his
bald and shiny skull. Although the
frostsofuyvinternhad left traces in his
hair, the flowers of spring still bloomed
in Uncle Rastus’ heart and he was in-
deed, a pretty lively old boy, albeit one
of the .most - zealous of church mem-
berm"; He said—“Well, suspected brads
dren and sistern‘s, it'seems like a right
smart long time since we earst met,
and yer elder has had a mighty hard
tussle wid de debble; sometimes he war
on top and sometimes I war; an’ I
s’pects I’se been gone, done and broke
all do commandments; yes, I s’pects I
has, done broke every one on ’em; but
de Lord be prais’d, I’se‘kept my ’ligion
thro’ it all.” ‘

1‘ It is a sadnalmost an appalling story
this,__,of- a guileless, unblemished, de-
fense'less‘Kentucky gentleman only 60
years, old» Here is a. man, a married
man, apillar of the church, a Sunday
school teecher, a speaker of pure wOrds,
a dam in piety and rcctitude, who
might, reasonably expect that his white
soul should =go=through unsullied life
and his white head remain unbowed in
sin. In _a moment of weakness "this
coldtblooded, Wily child—but, oh, it is
too, too bad. We can only imagine,
the trial can never show in all their true
colors, all the smooth and specious
arguments that she must have used,even
the physical force that may have been
necessary to the accomplishment of her
purpose. And then, witnessing her as
we do now through this new light, may
we not even fancy that she smiled gaily,
unconcernedly, over it? We are .told
by a friend of his, and it‘will probably.
be disclosed in the evidence, that
through all. these years since the day
when she first overcame his scruples'
and persuaded him to get into that
closed carriage shelhas; kept him abso-
lutelyun h9r'..'D0_W6,l‘ With oft-repeated
ingenious iterations of the argument
that'theregyvas nothing else for him to
do thnii‘;to 'k’eep fa1th with her or sink
lower; that she has terrorized him al-
ways; that she seemed to delight in it
as a pastime always as she did at first.
, And if all these things be true, Miss
Pollard has shown herself through it _
all, truly a remarkable child. ' Ah! how
he must have wept that night; 'as we
weep now, for his unrequited wrongs.”
And the latest adenda‘of the unicel-
ing wags is the to the effect that the
driver of that hack has notified Col.
Breckinridge of his willingness to come
to Washington and testify that be dis-
tinctly heard him scream three 'times
while out on his first evening ride with
the school girl.
.And yet, despite all this jeering levi-
ty,‘;it‘is in every sense, a most deplora-
bl‘e and mournful exhibition of intel-
lectual brilliancy and greatness suc-
cumbing to human weakness, frailty
and degradation.

Seventeen Year Locusts.
The Connecticut people are worried
over ' the Agricultural Department’s
prediction of a return of the seventeen-
year old locusts. But suppose the 10-
custs do try to pay a-visit to the apple
trees. Governor Morris has only to
issue a proclamation in Latin against
the visitors and they will disappear in
terror. Four words of Latin in his
Fast Day proclamation frightened the
Nutmeggers, and it is not likely that
the locusts are any hardier. As for the
gypsy moth, to exterminate which the
Massachusetts people want Congress to
appropriate $100,000, Governor Green-
halge. would make that vagrant leave
the state on the double quick if he
would read to it his celebrated “Ad-
dress before the Philentomological As-
sociation of the Lowell High School
on Some Beauties and Perils. of Bug
Hunting” (1891.)—New York Sun.
A Handsome Picture!
At Wolcott’s store on Main street,
artist James J. Vaughan is engaged in
painting an island of mythology,yand
called Atlantis.
writing from the island of Gomera in
1759 relates having seen the island on
the 3d of May in that year. It ap-
peared to consist of two lofty m'oun-
tains with an intervening valley. Ex-
amined with a” telescope the ravines
were plainly seen covered with rich
and abundant foliage. Beautiful pal-
aces were seen on everyhillside above
winding streams as far as the eye could
reachypresenting scenes of surpassing
loveliness-4a dream of happiness and
peace. It'is said that the island was
engulfed by, a mighty convulsion and
.that the Azores or western islands may
be fragments of the island Atlantis.
Be that as it may certain it is that Mr.
Vaughan is developing a beautiful pic-
ture which he never saw only in his
mind’s eye.

The Awning ls Still Red.
Acertain restaurant keeper in this
city had a “never fade” red awning
placed in front of his restaurant last
summer. During the seasons since
passed the awning seemed to lose color
and was fast fading out of sight. The
owner having a large amount of sympa-.
thy for,.the awning one day last week
took it down and decided to put it
under a course of treatment. To that
end he tOOk it'to a‘doctor dyer in
Bridgeport. Not finding the doctor at
home he‘ had the poor awning shipped
back tOISouth N orwalk by express and
himself rode in a buffet car. Arriving
at South N Orwalk he placed the awning
in the hands of a baggage expressman
to take to Norwalk. He then, after
seeing the awning carefully provided
for, went and called on a friend and
indulged in two beers and four games
of “peenuckle,” and later took .a trol-
ley for home. Saturday morning he
said that he - had lost eleven dollars by
the operation, or in other words, that
some thief had “touched” him for that
amount. One of his boarders asserts
that he was, that mad..when he discov-

Harry Leobold has a. hen that seems
determined to “ ‘set,”;and Harry is de-
termined that she will not. Sunday
afternoon he went to'the hennery and
found “biddy” occupying a nest, and
picking her up was startled to find a
kitten under her. It seems that the
kitten had been carried there by the
mother cat. Evidently the hen did not
care as to the species of “bird” it
became mother of, or whether it was in
the natural way or by adoption.

At St. Paul’s Church.
Bishop Williams confirmed a class of
thirteen persons at St. Paul’s church
Sunday morning, in the presence of a
very large congregation. In the even-
ing he preached an eloquent sermon on
“Christian Worship,” at the Chapel of
Our Holy Saviour}, to a congregation
that occupied all of the pew and chair
capacity, and filled a greater part of
the standing room in the edifice. Revs.
Pond and Selleck also took part in the
services. The processional hymn was
H. B. Whitney’s grand arrangement Of
“The Son of God goes forth to war,”
and the Ofiertory was Handel’s Messiah
conc‘uding with the “Hallelujah Cho-

Ought to be Abated.
For some weeks past complaint has
been made of the Sunday “ructions”
at a section of Norwalk known as “baby
hill.” According to all accounts an
Italian named James Pretty sells cider,
etc., to all who have the money to pay
for the same. ' Last Sunday afternoon
a gang from Cobble Hill visited the
place and after filling up on cider, in-
dulged in a free fight in which one~
“Tobey” Riley was knocked down and
unmercifully beaten and kicked. A
justice of the peace was driving by
with his family at the time and was an
eye-witness of the racket. It is proba-
ble that se§era1 arrests will follow.
People livinD in t'he‘neighborhood seem
afraid to make any‘ complaint to the
proper authorities by reason of a fear
that gheir houses or barns will be set on
fire out of revenge. The nuisance
ought to be abated, and at once. ~

At St. Mary’s Church.
Rt.-Rev. Bishop Tierney visited St.
Mary’s church, on Sunday and at the
8:30 mass, in the presence of a large
congregation, confirmed a class of
nearly 150 children. The 10:30 mass
was celebrated by Rev. Father Duggan,
after which in a few well chosen re-
marks Rev. Father Slocum introduced
Bishop Tierney, who delivered a splen-
did address. He spoke of the society’s
growth since when he was an attendant
at the church as a boy, at which time
two persons were all that was necessary
to teach the Sunday-school. He also
spoke of the good work that had re-
sulted from the work done by the faith-
’ful. He spoke most feelingly of his
mother who was sick and unable to be
present, and many in the congregation
were moved to tears. The entire ad:
dress was of an unusually interesting
character and was listened to with
wrapt attention. The Easter music
was repeated. .

“The Devil’s Auction” will be present-

“Everything new but the title,” is a
claim that is nearly substantiated, for
there arevery few features remaining
to remind one of what once constituted
“The Devil’s Auction.” The new edi-
tionis not onlyfln improvement, but is
to be highly commended for-the many
novelties that are introduced. This, is
emphatiCally true of the ballets which
are decidedly up to date. The company
is a large one and has some clever peo-
ple in it. _The costuming is gorgeous,

robust miller. Irene ,Verona as Tala-
men, the sculptress, does some strong
bits of acting, and shows shoulders
which_ suggest white velvet. Villa
Knox is Artea, the goddess of the fine
arts, and looks it. ROse Leighton
makes all possible out of the thankless
role of the Duchess, and the latter’s
four daughters are gowned after the
latest fashion plates. The others of

“c. I. Hood 8: 00., Lowell, Mesa: ._
“ I cannot praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla enough
for what it has done for my boy. Some four
years ago, when six years old, George was
attacked by hip disease in his right leg. We
had to get him a pair of crutches,'wlth which
he was able to move about, but became
badly deformed. We had to have his right is
lanced just above the knee. In a few weeks
second sore broke out, both dischar ing freely.
Aglenizing pains afflicted him, be con (i not bear

He Was a Mere Skeleton.
He had no appetite, and it was hard work to
make him' eat enough to keep him alive. A few
weeks, later we had his hip lauced, and follow-
ing this five other eruptions broke out, making
eight running sores in all. We did all we _ could
for him, but he grew weaker every day, al-
though we had three of the best physicians.
As a last resort we were prevailed upon
by relatives who had taken Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla with beneficial results to give the medi-
cine atrial. We get one bottle about the first
of March, 1892, and he had taken the 'medlclno
only a few days when his appetite began to
improve. When he had taken one bottle he
could move about a little with his crutches,
which he had not been able to use for the . re-
cedin three months. ‘We continued fait ally
