Now that the law protecting the English
sparrow has been repealed by the Pennsyl-

there. It is said that the sparrow is ad—
mirably adapted for this purpose, making
a very dainty dish. If the statement be
true, that is the best use to which the lit-

Half the business men visited by news
paper agents and asked for advertisements
consider the newspaper men as a kind of
infliction of Providence, which, like the
itch, must take acertain course before be-
ing cured. We wish to convince all such
erroneous thinkers that they are wrong.
The newspaper: instead of being a sort of
visitation from the lower world, is a pub-
lic necessity. and for the public good.
They, instead of dead-beating their way
in the world, 1ch from money hard-
earncd, and for ,which they frequently
pay, in one way or another, two hundred
cents for a dollar. Business men have
made fortunes, have risen from poverty
to opulence, simply from the benefits of
the newspapers across the way. The
money the newspapers make is handled
by the men who patronize with their bus:
iness advertisements. We have frequent-
ly had men tell us: “We never advertise.
It's too much like throwing away money.”
011 observing their business, we invariably
see their molasses barrel leaking, their dry
goods covered with dust, their sugar filled
with flies, their scales rusty, their hands
dirty, their finger nails unclean, their
pants patched, their customers fevgand
their success a failure. They bobble along
in the worldz‘, slowly, and are not the men
who rise Efrem poverty and obscurity to
riches and eminence. Show us a man
who advertises extensively and we will
show you a man who has the qualities es-
sential to business success. The adver-
tisements placed in papers are like the
kindheartcdncss of youth, bearing fruit at
first and reaching into the years when age
comes on space, Then never tell us ad-
vertising does not pay. Drones and ig-
noramus only advocate such views.—

For the first time in 30 years our citi-

the spectacle of express trains passing the

noon, but those who had been unable to
get one supposed they could take the
merning express, mail train cast as usual,

Also, ,many on that express wanted to

way works like a charm, transformed, set

position,——frour affirst-classgpoint on the

sixth. Indeed without express trains we
don't know wherezwe are. Yes, we do
too. We know we’re isolated—forced
henceforth to live a sort of hermit life,
with such train accomodations, like
Soutbport, Fairfield gand Darlen, as we
can get. No more getting off from
“owls” on the easLside of the bridge!
No more boarding the same by Westport
grocers and fish hawkers that they may
get early to New York markets and
send their track here for sale in the af-
ternoon! No more luxury in the palace
through ears, making believe you’re going
to Boston, and slyly getting off at the
drawbridge. The long and short of the
whole business. we've got henceforth to
take accommodation trains like ordinary
mortals in the one horse towns alluded
to. Its tough, but tender sympathy is
pouring in, and we'll try to make the best
of it. ,
Supt. of R. M. S., Thomas P. Cheney
of Boston, wrote a day or two since to
Hubbell &Bradley who keep the Post
office at Saugatuck, to know why the
morning mail cast on a given day was not
put aboard the express as usual. Said
mail, he said, embraced valuable letters,
and the delay-caused much growling.
He was informed hy'H. & B. of the
change in the order of running trains past
the depot here. Mail agent Joe Mills
when inquired of as to what he knew of
the facts said that “Throwing full mail
bags into the door of a mail car when the
train'is running 25 miles an hour, is not '
embraced in his contract. He tried, on
the morning alluded to, to do it, but the
draft of wind caused by the train, close
to which he had to stand to throw the
bag, almost took him off his feet, and he
really thought he was going to be sucked
in. Fortunately he was not, but those
looking for We'stport letters from that
train that day were, as the bag didn't hit
'the car door, and fell to the ground. J 00
says, if Cheney wants. mail he’s got to

Last Tuesday afternoon a horse belong-
ing to Dr. Nola of Norwalk, took it into
his head to have a little spree on his own
account. He stood unhitched in front of
Mrs. James Newell’s while the Doctor was
making a call, and started on a run up
Canal street. His speed being greater
than the builder had anticipated, as were
the thumps and bumps which the carriage
received, two wheels succumbed and
submissively laid themselves down by the
wayside. The horse kept on with the other
two wheels the same as if nothing had
happened, shot past the aWillow Brook
Cemetery fast and noisy enough to awaken
those sleeping there, turned into the F.
F Morehouse highway, cleared himself
of what remained of the establishment at
his heels, and would have taken a bath in
the Saugatuck river, had he not been
captured. At last accounts the Doctor
had gathered meat of the broken parts of
his vehicle, and in time will be able to
put them together and state his damage

Tariff Logic.
Samuel Peehles is a farmer in Iowa who
thinks as he sows and reaps when he rests.
In his ruminations upon the tariff ques-
tion he has settler] down to the following
conclusions : '
A tariff for revenue only, if it means
anything, implies the following effect:
A general reduction of the existing du-
ties on imports.
To be followed by.a larger importation
of foreign made fabrics.
To be followed by a falling off in the
demand for those made at home.
To be followed by the closing of Amer-
can workshops. '
To be followed by a relatively greater
number of men engaged in agriculture.
To be followed by an increase in the
supply of farm products, with no corres-
ponding increase in the demand.
To be followed by a reduction of the
farmer‘s profits.
I, for one, do not like it.
Perhaps some robust philosopher who
raises theories Instead of corn will rise in

to have a clear majority in his favor.—

He Didn’t Know it was
Sunday.
In the suburbs of the village of Shelton
dwells an old man, formerly well known
upon our streets of the past asa truckman,
and who is a very strict Sabbatarian, so
strict, indeed, that he will not ever black
his shoes upon Sunday. ’Last Sabbath
morning, bright and early, he called to his
wife to get up and prepare the breakfast,
but as she—taking the Sunday morning
license—only turned over for another
snooze, he took a cold bite and went out
to work in the potato patch, where he hoed
lustily for an hour and a half. In the
meantime one after another of the family
arose and looked out with astonishment at
” father’s strange conduct ;” thinking,
however, he must have some good reason
for such doings, they said nothing. At
length, thinking it about time for break-
fast, he turned homeward, when he met
Joe Martin, the mail carrier,- who having
his overalls on, thought he mustexpluin
to the good old man that he was simply
going to oil his harness a little; did not
believe in working Sundays much, but—
here the old man broke in with, "Sunday?
this isn’t Sunday ! this is Tuesday, sir. I
know it is Tuesday." Joe at length suc-
ceeded in convincing him to the contrary,
however, when the old man lifted up both
hands to heaven as if imploring forgive-
ness. exclaiming. in anguished tones,“lIIy
Lord! what have I done? Just look at

A Quick-I-Ianded Parson.
It was in the Carolina backwoods. A
country couple and person. When he had
finished the ceremony he said:
“An’ them ’uus who God have joined—”
“Stop thar, parson," said the groom;
“don’t say them 'uns—say these ‘uns.”
“John,” said the person, "I tech you at
school, and I say ‘them uns.”
. “These ’uns” shouted the groom, draw-
ing his pistol. .
The parson, seeing the movement, flrcd
through his surplice, and the groom drop-
ped dead. winging the person as he went
down. There was a fusillade of perhaps
thirty shots. When the smoke cleared
half a dozen men were on the floor. The
bride, peeping over the pulpit, to which
she had fled for refuge, gazed mournfully
on the scene and said :

The Special Senses have been termed the
“Five Gateways of Knowledge,” from the fact
that they receive and transmit to the brain
impressions-regarding surrounding objects
through their nerves. The nose, or organ of
smell, is a double-chambered cavity, lined
With a. mucous membrane, over which is
spread numerous nerve filaments, branches
0 the olfactory nerves, for the reception of
