Cruel Sarcasm.

The two stray callers who wandered
into the uptown den of the News yes—
terday afternoon, were struck at the
unusual appearance of the embryo re-
porter. His classic features had a
the-nipple-slipped-ofi-my-Hellins-food—
bottle, sort of l'go‘krand his Trilhy feet

the pride of his youth, also exhibited
an unusual enlongation as though some-
thing out of the common had tran-
Spire‘d.

As each visitor passed the door sill he
was g1 salad with the inquiry, “Have
you seen the editorial about the GA-
ZETTE in tonight's News? It’s a cork-
er 1” “Of course his callers answered
the excited inquiry in the negative, as
1121 one reads the News. But the em-
bryo was not to be squelched for had

'1 he not at last obtained an able article
which was original and not clipped
from the GAZETTE of the day before,
as are his daily news items. With flash-
ing eye and drooling month he snatches
a copy from the large pile of his unsold
papers and points to the feeble editorial
column, where concealed among sever—
al other gigantic brain fags, was the
following paraliziug effort:

“The GAZETTE in its sorrow at losing
the job of printing on application for a

_ l 'qu01 license says it was published in
‘1.L= ese columns because it would be more
li‘ ely I10 escape observation than if it
appeared In any other paper. A legal
notice published in a paper of the char-
acter of the GAZETTE does not satisfy
the requirements of the law.”

This cruel, bitter sarcasm was too
much for the visitors and they repaired
to “Horry” Dunn’s livery stable and
wcpt.

...
They Disagree.

Lawyers, as well as doctors, it seems,
are bound to disagree. The esteemed
Sentinel of last evening, has a double
.coliimn “puff,"set in hand-bill type,
giving the modest expressions of May-
Hubbell’s views concerning the

merits of the "faked” edition of the
' Encyclopedia Britannica, a work that

01‘

is being vigorously “pushed” by the es-
teemed Sentinel. In this letter, our

mayor undoubtedly supposed himself
to be

ll.
siands under our Mayor with a much
more effusive epistolatory endorsement
of the Sen‘ inel’ 11 edition. which goes to
show that even a man sharp enough to
get appointed postmaster, can also get
fouled as easily as a Mayor.

No doubt the “ridiculously low fig-

1’

ure of :31. 98 per volume, is what got
the Sawdust in our friend Malone’s eyes.
Now how would he and Hubbell,
staiivard democrats, swallow such an
awful political “bull” or' blunder as
this, that the Sentinel’s edition puts ofi'
upon an unsuspecting public :

“Garrison and Phillips, led the Lil)-
crfy 1 ’arly, which was the germ of the
J'bdcral and. afterward of the Republi-
can Parlg. The old Whig Party finally
became merged into the Democratic
Pearly.”

Just think of our lusty and trusty

peaceful and salubrious

as

Mayor, standing,
at the polls in
Wilton, cxhortingithe democratic breth-
orn, to be true to the cause and the.
country, even if it took five dollars a
man as a persuudcr, when by the ency-
clopedia he so cft'usively endorses with-
out qualification, "the old whig party

became merged into t'is democratic
party.”

No wonder such a free endorsement
has brought rain, but isn’t it after all,
“better not to know so much,
know so much that isn’t so, as sagely
remarked by the late Josh Billings. It

Death at a Crossing.

Arthur S. Middlebro k, the well
known agent of the Barnum estate,
and Patrick Noonan, a gardener at the
Barnum homestead, we struck and
instantly killed at the Iranistan avenue
railroad crossing, Bridgeport, about 2
o’clock yesterday afternoon.

The men were in a vehicle and were
driving across the tracks. There are
no gates at this crossing and the men
failed to notice the approaching train.
The engine struck the wagon squarely
and hurled both of the men into the air.
The bodies were horribly mangled.
The body of Mr. Noonan was placed
in the baggage room at the depot. Mr.
'Middiebrook lived for a. few moments,
but was dead on the arrival of Dr. Eas-
kell; who had been summoned from
the emergency hospital. The wagon,
which was one owned by the Barnurn
estate, was completely Qwrecked. The
horse had one leg broken and was
subsequently killed.

Mr. Middlebrook was one of the best
known men in Bridgeport. He was in
the employ of the late P. T. Barnum
for many years during the showman's
life and continued as agent for the es-
tate after his death. He leaves a wife
and young daughter. "
Mr. Noonan was well known among
the Irish residents of Bridgeport. He
was an expe1t gardener and had been
in the employ of the Barnums for many
years. He leaves a widow and four
children.

Little-Maud Smelledge Falls Head

The Mother Braveiy Follows the
Child.

The cry, “A child down the well i ”
startled the reSIdents of Pine street,
South Norwalk, shortly before _7
o’clock last evening A large crowd
quickly gathered and the news flew
With lightning rapidity about the city.

Maud, the nine- year— —old daughter of
Lorenzo W. Smelicdge, driver for
Adams Express company, who lives at
No. 12 Pine street. attempted to draw a
bucket of water from the well. In
some unacountable manner she slipped
and pitched head formost down the
deep well.

Maud’s younger sister was With her
11 11d several neighbors also saw the ac-
cident, and the alarm was given at once
Theiittle sister ran to the house and
informed her mother.

Mrs. Smelledge rushed to the well
and instantly giabbing the rope began
to descend to the bottom. .Here in
from two and shelf to three” feet of
water she found little Maud. .

By this time a large crowd had gath;
ercd and when the signal was given the
brave mother and her daughter were
rapidly drawn to the surface. Maud
was at once carried into the house and
Dr L. M. Allen summoned. An exam-
ination of the child disclosed that the
only injury she had received in her fall
was a bad bruise on her temple where
her head had come in contact with the
bucket in her descent.

As Maud went into the well head
formost it is evident she must have
turned over after striking the bucket
as she was found standing upright by
her mother when she reached the bot-
tom of the well. The latter is twenty-
five feet deep and how the child es-
caped serious injury is a miracle. '

Mr. Smelledge reports Maud to be as
well as usual this morning and barring
the swelling on her temple shows no ill
effect of her fall and narrow escape.
Mrs. Smelledge also, was not Injured in

her during rescue of her daughter.

cient fullness, prepared by writers es-
pecially competent to deal with them,
while the briefer articles seem to me
models of conciseness and accuracy.
It Is the only Cyclopedia of recent
date prepared from an American stand—
point and answers more questions than
‘ any other which are of interest to
Americans. The Britannica is well
known as the ablest and most exhaus-
tive of Cyclopedias but for a majority
of people it has gr eat defects as a work
of ready reference.
the editors and writers have had in
view an English and not an American
public. Many of the articles, especi-
ally in the earlier volumes, lose much
of their value by not being up to date—
thc first ten volumes being issued pre—
vious to 1880—and in some parts are
positively misleading. Again much of
the work is of such a highly technical
character as to render it unfit for popu-
lar and ready reference. If, however,
in spite of these defects, scholars still
find the Britannica indispensible, it
certainly needs to be supplemented
with something else. My way of sup-
plementing it would be with some
other Cyclopedia and not w1th' any
catch-penny publication professing to
give the original work with supplemen-
tary additions. '
The facts in regard to the reprints
now offered for sale are apparently not
as well known as they should be. If
they were, I am sure clergyman would
be less ready to lend their apparent en-
dorsement to a. scheme which in the
forum of morals, at least has no defence.

can firm attempted to appropriate the
results of’all this labor and expenditure
of money by a lac-:i'nile reproduction of
the Baitannica in this country. The
Messrs. Black forseeing some attempt
of this kind had had some of the articles
contributed by American writers copy-
righted so that the enterprising Ameri-
can firm soon came to grief in the
courts. As a resultihe copyrighted
articles have to be left out of the re-
prints. The basis of these reprints is
not an unabridged but a mutilated Bri-
tannica leaving out the very articles
which would be of special interest to
American readers rihe articles which
are substituted for the copyrighted
ones, as far as I have examined them in
the Sentinel reprint- are by no means
equal in texture to the original work.
The names appended to .them carry no
weight of authority, no guaranty of ac-
curacy. The inferior workmanship cf
these articles renders them out of place
ina publication of the character and
standing of the Britannica.

The supplementary articles as far as
I have read them possess still less
merit. Such workmanship is obviously
employed because it is cheap and for
the further reason that no scholars with
a reputation to lose would care to have
their names associated with a work
based upon the unrecompensed appro-
priation of the work of other writers.
It will be remembered that James Bus-
sell Lowell called such an appropriation
stealing, and that word to the ordinary
mind seems to be the apt and graphic
one to use. In conclusion I will 're-
peat what I have already said in sub-
stance that I regard Johnson’s Cyclo-
pedia a work of very great merit, su-
perior to any other work of the kind
now before the public. It is the pro-
duct of leading specialists in every de-
partment and is very ably and care-
fully edited. The authority for its
statements is readily found in the
signed~ articles, and in the names of
writers well known in cbnnection with
the subjects they discuss. l have great
pleasure in thus bearing emphatic tes-
timony in favor of a work of such
merit. A. BLANCHABD. I
