Cure for Diphtheria.
A correspondent from a Victorian paper
writes :—
_Should you or any of your family be attacked
mth diphtheria do not be alarmed, as it re
easily and speedily cured without a doctor.
When it was raging in England, a few years
ago, I accompaniedDr. Field on his rounds to
wrmsss the so-caiied "wonderful cures” he
performed, while the patients of others were,
dropping on all sides. The remedy to be so
rapid must be simple. All he ‘00]: with him
was powder of sulphur and a hill, and with
these be cured every patientwi out exception.
He put a teaspoonful of flour of brimstone into
a wineglass of water, and stirred it with his
finger, instead of With a spoon, as the sulphur
does not readily amalgamate with water.
When the sulphur was well mixed he gave it
as a gargle. and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger. Brimstone kills every species
of fungus in man, beast and plant in a few
minutes. Instead of s itting out the gargle he
recommended the ewe lowing of it. In extreme
cases, in which he had been called in the nick
oi time, when the fungus was too nearly clos-
ing to allow the gurgling, he blew the
sulphur through the quill into th throat
and after the fungus had shrunk to cw it,
then the argling. He never lost a atient
from dipht one. is. patient can’t garg e, take
a llve coal, put it on a shovel, and sprinkle a
teaspoonl‘ul or two of flour of brim-tone at s
time upon it; let the sufi'erer inhale it, hot
the head over it, and the fungus rvlll dle.
plentifuily used the whole room may be filled
almost to suffocation; and the patient can walk
about in it, inhaling the fumes with the doors
and windowa shut. The mode of fumigating a
room with sulphur has often cured the most
violent attacks of colds in the head, chest, etc.,
at any time, and is recommended in cases of
consumption and asthma. Good also in Scarlet
Fever.
Printed slips of the above article are
being circulated by the State Board of
Health with a view, probably, of lessening
the number of victims to the diphtherctrc
scourge which is now raging throughout
the state. Singulariy enough the same
remedy has been .used by the wife of one
of our prominent citizens for a number of
years. It has never failed of its purpose
and she, as well as the State Board of
Health, earnestly recommends it to the
public.

An Ancient Document.
The following proclamation in regard to
descrters from His Majesty‘s Colonial
army has a special local interest. The
original document, written in 1761—one
hundred and twenty-four years ago-is in
a good state of preservation, and is in the
possession of our associate editor:—

Busy Times.
The freighting business on the Danbury
and Norwalk railroad is, and has been for
several weeks past, very large, and prom-
ises so to continue for some time to come.
The pier and long wharf at Wilson Point
is now the busiest place along the shore;
the wharfs being filled with cars loading
and unloading ice and cut. stone coming
down, and coal gorng up the road, using
about all of the available freight equip-
ment suitable for that kind of freight the
road possesses. The ice down freights
were stopped for three or four days owing
to the high winds on the sound, which
prevented the timely arrival of the ice
barges, but there are numbers of them
now on hand, and it is expected that near-
ly or quite 3,000 tons will be shipped this
week. Without the Wilson Point exten-
sion none of this business could be done.

As Miss Fannie Button, in Fancher,
Ruscoc dz Co.'s shoe mannfactory, was
adjustinga sewing machine, yesterday,
her hand accidentally got caught by the
belt and two of her fingers were nearly
severed from the hand. The sight of
blood and the suffering of Miss Button
caused a panic among the other operatives
and several girls went into hysterics.

forelady, was taken with a severe nervous
attack and was incapacitated for work.
She was taken home in a carriage. Dr.
Gregory was called in to administer to
Miss Burton. The other girlé becoming
finally composed and calm, work was
resumed. The excitement, while it lasted,
was as intense as if a mean horrid mouse
had been let loose in their midst.

An Old Landmark Gone.
George W. Griswold, who died in
Bridgeport Thursday evening, at the age
. of 79 years, will be remembered by our
oldest citizens as the driver on the
steamboat stage line between Norwalk
and Bridgeport, almost sixty years ago.
He came here from Danbury in 1828, and
drove the stage until 1835, after which he
drove on the New York and Boston mail
line. Subsequently he was conductor of
a passenger train, running between New
Haven and Bridgeport, and still later was
conductor of a freight train making trips
the whole length of the? New York and
New Haven Railroad. Mr. Griswold
leaves one son, Geo. W. Seymour, Jr.
The funeral took place Saturday afternoon
in Bridgeport. -

A Deaf Mute’s Wanderings.
The police took to the lockup a deaf and
dumb young man last Thursday. He was
evidently lost, and the officers were unable
to find out. his name or address. The
selectmen were notified, and it was soon
learned by telegraph from New Haven
officers that the truant was Eddie Cook,
of Hartford, who had been missing since
\Vednesduy. He had been to New Haven
and after coming here, the New Haven
authorities received notice from Hartford
as to his identity and belongings, and they
forthwith notified his friends of his
whereabouts. His uncle came on from
Hartford Friday night and took him
home.

WASHINGTON LETTER. .
Wasnmo'rox, Feb. 9, 1885.
DEAR Ganrrn.——Senator Pendleton has
won a decided triumph in securing the
passage of his interstate commerce bill
over the Reagan bill which passed the
House by so large a majority. I, is
thought the Senate Pendletou bill will
now be taken up and passed by the
House. The House had more or less of a
“circus" all the past week over the River
and Harbor bill. The Ends features of
the bill were stricken out, and yet it- is
stiii feared that the entire bill will fall
from its own ponderous weight. As an
evidence of how this bill has issued from
House Committee it is only necessary to
state, that while Connecticut which has
a port of entry every few miles along her
entire sound boundary, gets only about
$180,000 for all her harbors, the inland
state of Tennessee gets over $400,000.
This unjust disparity will no doubt be
attempted to be corrected in the Senate,
but there is great doubt as to its ultimate
success.
'rur. sxouns 'ro saw roux.
All the latter part of the week, demo.
cratie statesmen were flying to and from
New York like shuttles in a patent loom.
Those we have had a chance to interview
since their return from their visit to the
presidentelect, do not seem to have as
much yeast in their boots as before they
left. These congressional statesmen
have uniformly returned with a depress-
ing air of uncertainty and misgivings
about them. It is evident they begin to
doubt their candidateon the subject of a
“clean sweep" of ‘all oflce holding
republicans. Said one of the prominent
democratic congressman: “If we are to;
do nothing and change nothing, why did
we not leave the republicans in power?“
Probably the most disgusted returned
visitor is Judge Lowery of Indiana. He
Went over to urge Ex-Senator McDonald
for a place in the cabinet, and failing to
elicit any encouragement in that direction
the judge is reported to have said: "I
hope you will soon find it convenient to
clean out the Augean stables." Looking
earnestly at his visitors and speaking
slowly and distinctly, Gov. Cleveland
said : “My views upon that subject have
recently been fully expressed. It is a
subject which must be treated with cars
and deliberation, and from more than one
standpoint I think it wise to endeavor to
retain the friends that came to our sup:
port in the last campaign. By inaugurat—
ing a liberal, a conservative, and a
progressive policy in this, » as in other
respects, we may be. able to held not only
those to whom I have alluded, but to se-
cure further accessions of the same char.
actor in the north and west."
The incoming president will surely have
a tempestucus time of it if he goes on to
practice the disheartening sentiments he
is enunciating. The greatmass~the rank
and file of the democratic party, is just
what the eloquent Geo. Wm. Curtis so
tritely described it to be, when at the
Chicago Convention he said: “We are
confronted with the democratic party.
Very hungry, and as you may’well be-
lieve, very thirsty; a party without a
single definite principle; a party without
any distinct national policy which it dares
to present to the country ' * * and
now attempts to sneak back to power as
a conspiracy for plunder and spoils."
The “hunger and thirst for plunder and
spoils" have grown the more overpower-
ing as the hoped for time approaches for
appeasing their pangs of hunger and
paroxysms of thirst, and such sentiments
as Mr. Cleveland expressed to Judge
Lowery fill them with blank dismay. The
immediate future is big with portentous
events to the “party without a single
definite principle."

Postmaster Sperry was here last week
as jovial as ever. He says the buslness
men of New Haven will stand by him,
reason that they are more interested in
having the post office run in the best man-
ner rather than for the benefit of a political
party; that if Mr. Cleveland adheres to
his recent civil service declarations, and
he believes he will, he has nothing to fear
from the dozen aspirants for his place. It
certainly would relieve Mr. Mitchell from
a perplexing load of responsibility if Mr.
Sperry should be permitted to continue
the “ Model New England postmaster."
To the delight and surprise of all who
knew him here the ever genial James
Gallagher, of New Haven, put in his
appearance on Thursday. When surprise
was expressed that he should have passed
by his incoming president in New York
and come to Washington, while all the
anxious men of his party were raiding the
Victoria Hotel, Mr. G. replied that he was
not such a blanked fool as to crowd him-
self and his claims upon the president,
elect at such a time. I shall go into no
scramble for the New Haven post office or
collectorship with my fellow democrats of
New Haven. It is curious to see the
eager satisfaction with which he peruses
the “ Blue Book" during his leisure hours,
especially the lists of foreign ministers
and consulates. When questioned as to
whether he really desired to go abroad
and, if so, where, he retorted with stage
eloquence: “If my services for my party
are deemed worthy of recognition by Presi-
dent Cleveland he may send me wherever
democracy needs an advocate and defend‘
er.” But seriously if any democrat is to
be rewarded for long and-generous party
services Mr. Gallagher, of all men, should
be “called from labor to refreshment,"
and it is not unreasonable that he should
expect to be. Mr. G. is‘a Connecticut
member of the inauguration committee,
and is specially interestedjust now in see-
ing that the Cleveland ceremonies are the
grandest in the history of the country. In
this connection a bit of grim legislation
came over to the Senate from the House
appropriating $6,000 “to protect léfe and
property during the inauguration cere-
monies.” Hundreds of thousands or the
faithful are pxpected to crowd the city on
the 4th of March, and help to paint. the
town a most lurid red. , 3—5.9? ‘ -

The Hatters Strike.
A Gm'rra reporter visited the commit-
tee room of the striking batters in South
Norwalk yesterday afternoon. He found
‘ the room filled with men, among them
Messrs. Tammany and Ellendorf, by whom
he was cordially received. In answer to
his conundrum: “What’s the latest phase
of the situation ?" he was informed that
the respective attitudes of the bosses and
the men were unchanged, but that the
opinion was gaining ground that “the
bosses are on the point of squealing.” In
fourweeks only two men have deserted
the ranks. “You might say that the
bosses, with all their piety and professions,
held a council of war last Sunday," said
one.
“Here," said Mr. Tammany, producing
.a letter, “is a certified copy ofaletter
written by Crofut do Knapp, who had
also said that no matter' how many soci.
etles they belonged to, nor how many
meetings they held, fair'hattcrs only
would be employed,prcviding they would
not bring their society business into the
the shops." _ The letter was as follows :—
Ha. meant Dalloalrroxr, Matteawan, NLY.
Duals Sta :-—When you were here the first of
the week we told you that we could glve em-
loymeut to a few good men in a short time.
If you can bring those men_ wlth you Monday
wcican give you all work-’2- rf not in the factory,
in some of the others that are open to inde-
endsnt men. As Mr. Knapp and to you when
here, we do not care to take men who have
been employed in the prison shops.
Respectfully yours,
- Caorur & Ksarr.
“Notwithstanding this lctter,” contin-
ued Mr. Tammany, “we know that they
have now in their. employ a man who has
been an instructor in a state prison shop."
“Yes." spoke up a batter near the win-
dow, “and he’s a regular desperado. He's
made his loud threats that he would kill
any man that dared to follow him."
At this point a gray whiskcred man
spoke up and mid, “I happen to know
that they have also in their employ a man
who has served a three years sentcncc in
a state prison for stealing hate."
The temporary chairman of the com-
mittee told the reporter that Gil Bogart,
one of the desertcrs from the ranks, had,
at the request of his brother, asked to
meet a committee of the strikers to solicit
a reinstatement into the trade. That he
had admitted to his brother that he had
“made a fool of himself” and was ina
tight place, notwithstanding his having
told outside parties that he didn’t care
about leaving Solmans’.;
The latest rumor was given that the
bosses were sending “scab" hats to New
York, representing them to be from the
co-operative shops, with the intent and
purpose of injuring the co-operative goods
in the market. A New York dealer of
high standing, testifies to this as a fact.
Copies of letters from dealers and
others in the trade, written to the bosses,
declining to handle their goods while the
strike is still pending, were shown, from
Nashville, Tenn.; Brooklyn, N. Y. ;
Chicago, Cadillac, Mo; Golden, 001.;
Walsenburgh, Col. ; Marlborough, Mass.;
East Saginaw, Mich., etc., etc. Among
the New York dealers who have notified
the bosses that they are “handling honest
goods, and can’t afford to use the work
now turned out in the shops" are He
Calm; Henderson &Bergh, and Kennedy.
A gentleman representing a large jobbiug
house in New York has told the bosses
that just as soon as the “fair" 3 on are re-
instated, he would be able to place large
orders with them, but not until then.
”The men now in the shops," said Mr.
Ellenddrf, “are the refuse of the trade,
both fair and foul, and they are incapable
of turning out good work.
“Let me give you an idea of what these
shops are doing," said the chairman.
“Last Saturday Crofut & Knapp‘s ship-
ment was one case and five racks, from
shop Number ii, that has a capacity for
turning out eighty dozen a day. Their
other shop is idle. Conga d: Hurlbutt’s
agent, 8. C. Palmer, has succeeded in
securing orders for thirteen dorm hate in
three months! Does ‘scah’ labor pay?
Adams Brothers are doing nothing.
Solrnans’ are doing comparatively noth-
lug—letting Crofut & Knapp go ahead
and spend their money on scab labor.
And just make a note of this fact: that
every labor organization that didn’t
recognize us when we went on strike, is
now interostcd,'and relief continues to‘
come in liberally. They consider this not
simply a local strike for wages, .but a
battle between labor and capital, 'the
result of which will effect the working-
man everywhere. And you might say
that the foul men find it difficult to get
boarding houses. Mr. D'Artois, colored,
is now feeding them. DeArtois has
said that if the union would make it an
object, he would refuse to board them;
but the union isn’trmaking it an object."
In the dynamite investigation the re."
porter was told there were no now do-
velopments. The men still hold to their
first theory that the stuff was exploded on
the inside of the building, and that it was
a scheme concocted by the bosses to turn
the tide of synipathy in their favor. They
say, too, that the views of Pinkerton’s de-
tectives who arset work on the case, co-
incide with this theory. _
Mr. Ellendorf, on being asked in regard
~ to the ncw paper, of which he is to be the
editor, said that he had been in all the
New Jersey batting districts, also in
Brooklyn, Danbury and Bothel, in the
interest of the paper, and had met with
the most cordial receptions and the high.
est success. About 2,000 names have
been secured as subscribers to the paper,
and it will start of! with an encouraging
patronage, and bright prospects.
On taking his departure, the reporter
was informed, as an after-thought, that
City Clerk Wilcox had apprenticed his
son in the foul shop 'of Crofut lb Knapp,
the boy having previously been an ap-
prentice in a fair shop. “Wilcox," said
the informant, “runs a groceryherc, and is
dependent on the working classes for
patronage. His course in this instance
will certainly not be liable to build up his
trade. His partner, Brown, is quite cha-
grined over Wilcox’s action." '

The Salvation Army.
A zex'r'ra reporter sauntered into the
barracks cf the Salvation Army in South
Norwnlk, the other night. He found that
the front of the house was oceupicd by
the spotless saints, while the sinful
sinners lnonopolizcd the rear; and, being
neither a s'porlezs saint nor a sinful
sinner, be split the difference and took a
sca‘. in the centre of the house, which
proved to be the most undesirable loca-
tion he could have selected, for the reason
that while the “old, old story" was being
told ill front, there were groans and
grunts, loud conversation and boisterous
laughter in the rear, and between the two
extremes it was impossible to drink in the
glad tidings of great joy proclaimed from
the platform without the triple—tonguing
variations of the lloodlums ill the rear.
Pic-ty mingled with profanity in a harsh
comminglc, and the forbearance that
enabled the stalwart salvation warrior to
“forego the pleasure" of pitching into the
gang of interruptionists with a club,
could leave no doubt of the genuinencss of
his Christianity. ' '
The leader of the meeting was a big,
broad shouldered Englishman, who was
detailed here temporarily, to supply the
places of the former Captain and Lieu-
tenant, two buxom lassies fair to look'
upon, who were recalled by‘reason of
their flirting with the male converts. He
warned the noisy occupants of the rear
that they must desist or suffer the penalty
of the law. He said they were “going to
save South Norwaik in spite of all hell!
in spite of the devil and his impel" and
that they proposed not only to stay and
hold their meetings, but also to preserve
order.
The services consisted of ‘singing, ex-
horting, praying, etc., and were not much
different from the “good, old-fashioned
camp meetings,” where all hands squirmed
around in the straw and shouted. One
man who lives in South Norwalk, got up
and told what a contemptible wretch he
had been “until four days ago" when the
Salvation Army accomplished his con-
version. As soon as he sat down another
man rose, and, pointing toward the last
speaker, said: “If the Salvation Army
can save such a character as that man,
thank God for the Salvation Army 1” An
old darkcy impressed the congregation by
the earnestness of his manner in singing
and praying. His violent straining,
labored contortions and positive planta-‘
tionldialect were no libel on the most
exaggerated burlesque of the cotton field
jubilee.
While the- meetings are in progress a
warrior wanders through the audience
peddling the War Cry, the army's “oili-
cial gazette." The paper is made up
mostly of correspondence, and is enter-
taining, to say the least. From it we learn
that “Capt. Happy Emma and her blood-
washed jail birds” in Dayton, Ohio, are
sorely persecuted by the devil. In Newark
“the salvation business is not dull." In
Dover, N. :H. the army converted
“clergymcn, christians and deacons."
In Bufiaio “Capt. McCartney and his
hallelujah wife, the devil smashers," have
been sorely tried by the “furious mob.”
And here in South Norwalk, to quote
from the War Ury‘s correspondence,
“the devil begins to feel that his kingdom.
shall fall, so he means to keep fighting
at. the Salvation Army. He thinks he will
frighten us and make us stay in from open
air by throwing stones and saying he will
put us in jail," etc., etc.
The South Norwalk barracks are now
in charge of a couple of elderly female
warriors who, on taking command gave
their first congregation distinctly to un-
dcrstand that they were “not young,
giddy fiirts.” . Whetherthe announcement
will have the effect of causing the male
converts to backslide remains to be seen.

Another Hot Shot.
To run GuerrnzaThe conduct of the
present court of burgcsscs as public offi-
cers has been criticized quite severely and
yet, as most republicans feel, justly; but
as to their action, and I have becn reluct-
ant about giving what I know as it may
be said that I am prompted by spite. To
that I have to reply that I have no person-
al feeling against any member of the
board, but of their political conduct I
have a word to say as the people generally
did of the whigs’ “Tyler" and the repub-
llcnn’s “Johnson." And of this course I
feel justified for by their own months
have they condemned themselves. It rs
said that he who excuses accuses, and this
is true. I knew of tho supper at the
house of one of the members, when and
where the slate was made up, and the
as they have in part and that was that I
would not attend to the duties of the
ofiice if appointed, but leave it to Mr.
Rose. I did expect to give Mr. Rose such
benefits from the ofilce if I was appointed
as I could. butwhenlfound the objections
to him would lead to the appointment of
a democrat I wrote the several members
of the court of burgesses on December 20,
1884, a letter of the following import :—
“ Soon after the borough election I was
asked by several persons, republicans, if I
would take the office of borough clerk.
After ‘a little reflection I said I would if I
received the appointment. That I was a
candidate was soon enerally known. I
have been informed t at it has been said
that if I was appointed I did not intend
to attend to the ofiiee myself but leave it
.to Mr. Rose or Mr. Jackson. 1 want to
correct that misap rehension. If ap int-
ed I shall personal y attend to the 33th..
of the office and personally attend to the
meetings of the board 'Of burgcsses. I
write this that there may be no misunder.
standing, and that my candidacy may
stand entirely upon my personal and party
qualifications for the office." ,
And I meant every word of my promise.
- This letter each member received through
the mail and had when making the excuse
that I did not. expect to attend to the
duties myself, and with this I leave them
to settle with those to whom that excuse
was made. It does seem to me there was
to be found among all the republicans of
this borough some one who could fill the
duties of the ofilce of clerk, and it is for
going outside the party I would arraign
them. Not content with going outside
the party they were prodigal with the
public money in increasing the salary of
the clerk, a further afiront to those who
worked for their election. Next they
appointed, against a present incumbent, a
man whom the people buried under 220
majority to the man removed. They have
distributed patronage to the amount of
$1,224.33 to democrats to $702.09 to re-
publicans. .
This republicenism, like the meat in
railroad depot sandwich, requires too
great a tour of discovery to satisfy me,
and every republican, whom I have heard
speak of it, says the same. ‘It is destruc-
tive of all party ties and disheartening to
party workers. With the hope that not
one of the board will conduct his private
affairs on the principle that seems to have
controlled his political action, and that his
personal gratitude is not to be measured
by his political, I wish each one in his pri-
vate affairs success, but hope and believe
his political death warrant has been signed
by his own hand. .
Yours respectfully, -
J. Barons Hcamcrr.

The late John Sterling McLean of Washing.
ton, D. 0.. who died in this place on Tuesday
last at the early age of twentyone, was a
oung man of rare excellence and promise.
Thoughtful, discerning, intelligent, and sway-
ed from childhood by noble im ulses,‘ integri-
ty and purity roamed shrine in his soul.
When in but his teens he was dcsrrous of
shaping his future ill life. and so earnest was
he in this articular that the laudable desire
attracted t e attention of the leaders of one of
the most prominent industries in the Northern
States, and a handsome offer was m «is, even
at;his tender age, to him. .
Trained watcnluIly by his parents, and erg.
naily beloved b his grandfather of honored
remembrance, ohn A. McLean, )1. D., de-
ceased, the lad remained at home until the
family removal to the National Capital in 1879,
and no higher testimony of his worth can be
adduced, erhape, than that borne by a chief
official of t 6 Company, in the service of which
he was at that piles employed. "It is the
practice,” says this gentleman, “for our man-
agers to make rigid inquiries as to the charac-
ter and habits of every applicant. The candl-
date in question was thus treated but not a
breath was uttered against him."
And thus he continued to the very last oven-
in of his stay in Washington, which city ‘lo
le —overworksd and taxed beyond his
strength—to come home, some seven. or;
since, and sicken and die.
He was a remarkable young man. The o..:.
energios of his nature were 3 you to the obli-
gations which he was expected to discharge,
and the best affections oi his youthful heart to
the parents horn be cherished; and he loved
and valued his mother beyond telling. The
blow falls heavily upon those who aurvlve him ;
but although Divine Providence has seen fit to
suuder the tie, yet the separation is wsetened
bythe memorv of a true and faith ul child,
and a loving, lyal son.
The funeral was attended on Saturda last,
the Rector of St. Paul’s, assiqted by the butter
Rector, officiating; and the luterment was in
the family tomb in the churchyard. "

"19 11th d8 of February 1W post
directed toyeecil of the po'rsons'so alleged
Mr. Wallace Bruce's Lecture.
Mr. Bruce is in the best sense a popular
lecturer. His lecture in the Mutual Im-
provement course last season was so
warmly approved, and the wish to hear
him again so universally expressed, that
the managers yielded to the demand of the
public in placing him on their list for the
second season. He won greater admire.
tion than men of older and more brilliant
fame. He is a‘ scholar, a poet, a writer
of elegant prose, and a finely cultivated
orator-at once eloquent, effective and
dramatic.
Mr. Bruce‘sllterary lectures are his own
special delight. His subjects are faith-
fully studied and his thoughts glow with
vitality. In 1870 he visited Europe,
travelled on feet after the manner of Bay-
ard Taylor through the land of Burns,
Scott and Shakespeare. studying carefully
every point of association with history,
romance and poetry of these illustrious
names.
All persons of taste will do well to hear
this gifted speaker at the Congregational
church, South Norwalk, on Monday even-
ing next.
Reynolds Riled.
A few days ago Kellogg's delivery clerk
Reynolds drove to Sangatuck to deliver
some goods. While he was in the cus.
tomer’s house his horse managed to tear
his bridle oil’, and jumped over a stone
wall, which uncoupled him from the
wagon. On coming out of the house,
Reynolds discovered his horse over in the
lot, and the wagon in a state of beastly
demoralization against the wall. He se-
cured the kindly assistance of a couple of
Irishlnen, who were passing, and they
cornered the animal in one end of the lot
near a picket fence. Reynolds attempted
to take the horse by the mane, but Dobbin
resented it as being an improper liberty
by jumping over the picket fence. As he
went over, the breaching caught on a
picket and “crash!” away went half a
dozen rods of picket fence flat to the
ground. The horse started for home on a
run, where he arrived none the worse for
his shabby trick. Reynolds brought up
at the store some time later having been
obliged to make the journey, four or five
miles, on foot. As he came into the store,
tired and ugly. somebody asked him why
he looked so thoughtful; to which he re—
plied: “I was trying to think who the
dickens it was that ordered that chow-
chow the other day."
