breathes again. The army has raised the
siege and surrendered the field to the

is spiritually dead. “The people in the

Army and they turn around and inquire,

» The Bridgeport News thinks the eighth
wonder of the world in these piping Oct-
ober days is, how game could be put on
sale early Thursday morning, when the
law was not off until 12 o‘clock the night

game successfully beforedaylight. Surely
business energy is in a high state of devel-
opment.

' ven, which was opened for the season

ed roads: “Any person addressing alady

Concerning the company and play to be
presented in the Opera House Saturday
evening, an exchange says:
“ The Mestayer ‘Tourists in a
Pullman Palace Car‘ have been for sever;
al consecutive seasons one of the most
successful and popular combinations on
the road. This year the company has
been immensely strenghened by Manager
Milton Aborn, and every effort has been
made to keep up the reputation of the
party. Such names as Charles Mestayer,
Charles Sturges, Fred Roberts, John H.
W. B yme, Helene Brooks, Ada St. Claire,
Grace yDe Witt and Ma Jackson give one
an excellent idea 0 the merits of the
troupe. New songs and business have
also been introduced' in the play which' 1s,
by long odds, the best of the long list of
eccentric comedies of which it was the
first.”

characteristic emphasis of her adorable

what sort of a bird do you call that?"
“That, "V said Fred, “is a specimen of the

The play, “ Cad, the Tom-boy,” was

bilities of Miss Swain, and she is the cen-
tral figure 1n every act. Full of life, over-
flowing with fun, vivacious, bright, spark-
ling, and at times pathetic, she' is the equal
of Annie Pixley, yet at the same time is
different. Miss Swain' is an excellent sing
er, a pretty dancer, and possesses a spright-
liness that, added to her expressive face, is
ca tivating. Any future visit from- her
wi draw a full house.

Rev. Brother Slack is entertaining his

Extensive repairs are in contemplation
in the Congregational church, embracing
the enlaVIV-gemcnt, re-painting and frecoiug

Professor Taylor, a remarkably clever
sleight of hand performer, gave three enter-
tainments in Fisher‘s Hall last weekIto
crowded houses. He presented his specta-
tors, by a system of church fair lottery, with
a large variety of gifts, useful and orna-
,mental,rang1ng from a corkscrew to a
ton of hay. Hence the large attendance.
A gift show “catches" us with all the
irresistible attraction of a free temperance

Rev. Alpheus Winter, of Hartford, the
well-known temperance apostle, lecturized
the Congregationalistszon the license busi-
ness Sunday morning, and took a promi-
nent part in the union “citizens’ " meeting
in the “Methodist House," as Brother
Slack calls it, in the evening, where there
was quite an explosion of local campaign
oratory, which “told" effectually in the
result.
The attention of honest and earnest
temperance workers is respectfully called
to the fact that a cow, who was always
suppbsed to have borne a good moral
character, belonging to that zealous prose-
cuting agent and consistent prohibitionist
and deep water Baptist Mr. Nathan
Seeley, was seen a few days ago stagger-
ing around in her orchard pasture in a
beastly state of intoxication, resulting
from an overdose of apples. An investiga
tion is to be set on foot to ascertain wheth-
er;M;r. Secley, eith‘er‘in-‘an ofiicial or pri-
vate capacity, made any efiort to keep the
cow away from the apples, or the apples
away from the cow; and whether—in
view of the fact that the cow hasn’t given
a drop of milk since—it was, orwas not, a
conspiracy between Mr. Seeley and the
cow, concocted with a view to making the
cow give cider instead. .

Thc election festerdiy was one of the
quietest and most uninteresting held in
town in along time. The vote was light
and resulted, as usual, ina republican
majority. The town tickets were both
essentially the same as last year, VanRiper
being substituted for Andrews, deceaSed,
for treasurer on the democratic ticket.
The average majority was 45. The
license vote, which promised to be excit-
ing, proved less interesting than the town
vote. The “No Hot-use" folks took the
lead 11.1111. optima: theVV pdils’ and ham-
tained it, withsteady gains, to the end
when the count showed a majority of 131

A Norwich gentleman spent a few days
as the guest of a tug boat captain recently.
One night he went on deck to see the sea
by moonlight, and 'was horrified to see 'a
big steamer just astern of the tug, and
apparently about to. crash into. it. He
rushed to the pilot house and beseeched
the captain to, .“fcr God’s :Iako, int! 11

reassured him that _he was ‘safc, and on
closer inspection he discovered that the
“big steamer" was a freight barge in tow

Gen. Hubbard dissects and asserts 1111 he
is neither in an insane asylum nor in jail.
The reporter evidently got the wrong
colonel by the car. Gen. S.‘ R. Mackenzie,
once a colonel of the regiment, is unfor-
tunately in an insane asylum, which state-
ment will sufficiently explain the errone-
ous report. —Winswd Harald.

being dumped forty feet down ”a steep

of a rivVer. No bones were broken, but
the wagon was wrecked, the horses cut,
and the young lady bruised, frightened
and mad over the bursting of her hustle
and massing of her back hair.

But of the crowds who struggle and

Yes, men are still waiting there for any
call for laborers that may come during

Instantly all the watchers spring up
like caged animals when food is brought

their hauds. They leap on each other's
hacks and clainber up to the topmost

to obtain one little metal ticket—per-

and then the noise subsides, and the men
wait on, patient dogged, hungry—eyed

”ADDS OX FRENCH BANKS.
Some public attention has been at-
trncted in Paris by a trial for frauds
which has been opened before the
Assizc Court of the Seine. The accused
are Victor Guinet, who resided for a
time in London, and then assumed the
name of Guinot Gordon, and an Italian,
who is said to be a“ “ Reeidivist" named
Zappatera, but who gives the name of
Malvero, and says that he knows noth-
ing of the criminal with whom he has
been identified.‘ Both men have been
living extravagautly. keeping horses and
carriage:, ‘and ordering costly entertain-
mauu. They had no legitimate source
of income, but they have obtained with-
in ashort period upward of 200,000 fraucis
by fraud from banking houses. Their
mode of procedure was ingenious. They
began by making small deposits, which
enabled them to come frequently to the
cane. of the bank, and to loiter about
while business was being done. They
seem to have thus obtained the names
‘ and addresses of several depositors, and
even the numbers of their checks and
the amounts of their deposits; They
then .contrived to get into correspon~
deuce with these customers and to
obtain letters from them. By a chem-_
ical process they efi'aeed the text of each
letter, leaving heading and signature,
and converted the document into an
application for a book of blank checks.
Some days later a check was detached,
filled up with a forged signature, sent
by a porter to the bank, and cashed.
For some time the police were unable
to discover the perpetrators of these
frauds. On the 9th of February, how-
ever, a banker cashed a check. which
was afterward recognized as a forgery.
Some receipt stamps were stuck upon
it. with the word “annals ” written with
two "1's" instead of one. In a letter
writtch on the same day by Guinetth to
the some banker, he misspelledth
word in the same way. The cashier
remarked this coincidence, and in con-
aoquenoe Guinat and Zappatera were
apprehended. Inthoirhousewasfound
a collection of the instruments and
chemical substances employed by for-

Gold rings are made from barsV nine or
fifteen inches long. A bar fifteen inches
long, about two inches wide and three-
sixteenths of an inch thick, is worth
about 81, 000. It would make 300 four
penny-weight rings. A dozen processes
and twenty minutes time are required to
change the bar into merohantable rings.
A pair of shears out the bar into strips.
By the turn of a wheel, one. two or.
three times, the guillotine blade of the
shears cuts the bar into slices, one, two
ortlnoe-sixtecnths of an inch wide. A
rolling machine presses out the strips
and makes them flat or grooved. Foch
strip is then put under a blowpipe and
annealed. The oxide of copper comes
to the surface, and is put into a pickle
of sulphuric acid, and the bit of gold I!
stamped with its qnality and the name
of the maker, and is put through a ma-
chine that bonds it into the shape of a
ring of any size. The ends are soldered
with an alloy of inferior fineness to the
quality of the ring. Many people im-
agine that rings are run in a mold, be-
cause they can't see where theyaro
soldered. The ring spins through the
turning lethes, is rounded, pared and
polished. first with trich and then with
steel filings and rouge.

WASTB OF HUMAN LIFE IN APBIOA.
About 000 miles inland from Leopold-
villo, Africa. Stanley says in his book
that he found a band of slave-traders
having in their possession 2,300 captives.
“Both banks of the river," he says,
"showed that 118 villages and forty-
three districts had been devastated, out
of which was eduood 2,800 females and
children, and about 2,000 tasks of' ivory.
To obtain these they must have shot
2.500 people, while 1, 800 more died by
Aha wayside. How many are wounded
and die in the forest. or 111009 to death
through an overwhelming sense of their
calamities. we do not know, but the
outcome from the territory, with its
million of soulsmust beacon slaves.
