In Washington vitrified brick as a pavement in the publicly . traveled streets and avenues have ”been thor- oughly tested and found to stand the wear and tear of the iron tires of car- riages and heavy trucks, even better that granite blocks. " ‘ ' In New Haven a particularly severe test has been given these vitrified bricks as a paving material near to: the outside and between the iron rails of their streetcar tracks. At the corner of Chapel and State streets in thefilatter city, these brick pavings have been down for three years and are found to be tougher and firmer of fibre than are stone blocks. They are a specially hard and tenacious material, not given either to chipping 011' or crumbling, as in the- case of Belgian blocks or other stone paving. If our city authorities will permit the street railway companies to thus ,‘pave their tracks through Wall street, we are confident, from on! personal inspection of the above narrated cases, that they will have no cause to regret their ac- tion. The Street Railway Company is ready and anxious to‘do this and as they. would have to replace them in event of failure, it is dlflicult to see why they are not permitted to go ahead and improve the dangerous condition of this conspic- uous discredit to our city, without any further delay. ——-———4~O> The True e‘ou. Most people, brought up on puritanié cal traditions and led on the dry husks of dead creeds, have a strange "idea of God. They look upen Him as a stern and unyielding tyrant whom they must besiege with prayers and groanings and self-abasement, and even then run the risk of being damned. They robe Him, in the imperial purple of a Nero, and - build Him a throne of human skulls. They have made a God of their own evil natures, and crimsoned His hands with the blood of the innocent and help— less. They see Him in the flash of the deadly lightning, but never in the dew that moistens the lips of some dying I flower. They view Him in the storm and tempest, but never in the cool night nestling down in mercy over the fainting earth. He is plain to them in _ the. tornado that blots a town out of ex- istence, but never in the kindly rain that spreads a wave of rippling laughter over the world in the white blessing of the harvest that leaps up jubllantly from the soil. They hear Him in the awful thunder roll, but never in the royal song of some tiny bird hidden in the roses of their own home. He is present to them in the earthquake, but never in the rainbow’s glory spanning the heavens with a bridge of j )y.. They hear film in the wail of sorrow and de- spair, but never in the song of rejoic- ing and happiness that goes up to the smiling stars. And they'worship Him, not in the spirit of love or in goodness, but in that of fear. God is not' a tyrant. The eternal goodness is manifest in everythingrthat is; in the hlpiness that makes life so sweet; in the affliction that turns the soul from its downward course and makes it white for the beautiful fields of heaven. It is a goodness that is rs eternal as God is eternal; it is a good- ness that is as plain as the glorious sun of noonday to those whose eyes have been opened by the eternal hand so that they no longef see as through a glass darkly; God is good. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked,but in 9. mil- lion Ways shows them His- goodness, that they may take it as alamp for their. feet, a light that willsneverfail, a guide whose feet never go astray. Sometimes, ‘ when all else fails, He shows them His . power, crushing them down in their ' sins until, the very earth reels in agony and the stars grow dim; 'hnd then, if - they repent and throw off the chains of mm sin, He lifts themgup until they # I can see the great river of His peace and ’ hear its gentle waves, singing upon the sunlit strand. _' p . ’ - . l The eternal goodness is in the earth as well as in the sky. It speaks in every flower that lifts "up its head to greet the wayfarer passing by, and it is- seen. in ‘ every star that guides the » traveler through the mazes of the night. It is heard in every song that floats upward . and dies away beyond the heightg that no human feet may scale; it is seen in every blade of grass that, is some happy insect’s swinging home. ' .- The eternal goodness is with us every where, and spreads nits. soft mantle of hope and peace over every heart that aches, if that heart but understands and acknowledges the goodness of the one eternal God. It is thrown around us even when we wander far away from the safe,‘ strong'fold, and it takes us back there if we but ask for its kindly aid. God is good, and no soul need lose its heritage if it but kneels down in earnest faith and prayer. The crip- pled wings shall be healed and it shall gain the upper sphere.‘ ‘ ‘ Wanted a Man. ' . Yesterday afternoon there alighted from. one of the electric railway cars on Wall street this city. a rather pretty and modestly attired young lady. On her dres waist just over her heart she wore a button dpon which in plain let- ters appeared “I want a man.” In less thanten minutes there were six of the male sex in her wake. One of them more daring than the rest stepped up to her and tipping his hat said, “Excuse me, Miss, but I think we have met be- fore.” "Perhaps so," she replied in a saccharine tone of voice. “Aw! aw! yes, I—I—I—see you want a man .” “That is true. You look more like a dude and act like a loafer.” She then gave him a look that caused him to sneak out of sight like a. whipped car. This was a dampener on the other five pursuers and they slunk away. A Campaign Joke. An unusual campaign j eke worked at Bridgeport last night. _ The announcement was made early in the day that Senator Wilson of Georgia would address the Republican voters of the Fourth district in Sailer’s hall. When the 7:45 train arrived from New York, a: portly, negro, ,wearing a' W83 ’ beaver hat, stépped off-and was. met by acOmmittee and escorted in a hack to Sailer’s hall. Here he beganto 'ex- pound the principles of Republicanism to his hearers in his southern dialect. ' .‘ It wasnot long...however, before some of the keen-eyed au iienca recog- nized in the landed senator John Green, the sawdust man of'Kelley’s sa-' loon across the s‘reet from the hall. Missiles began to fly through the air. and the walls of the hall bear evidence of the satisfaction of the audience. The saloonkeeper stood all the expense of travel for the supposed orator. +p————~— ' TownACourt. In the Town Court this morning, Charles Beers was fined $3 for being intl routed and 85 and costs for steal- lng. It looks like Bridgeport jlil for him. A few years ago nearly all newspapers published, at this season, recipes for summer complaints. Now such items are seldom met with. Publishers have learned that there is nothing quite as good as Chamber- lain’s Colic, Cholera. and Diarrhoea Remedy for these diseases and as it is in general use everywhere they have quit publishing these recipes. No one having a. bottle of this remedy in the house need fear, an attack of bowel complaint. It can always be depended upon and 13 pleasant and safe. For sale by E. P.
