NO man during the last two days has
attracted more attention on Broadway than
has Senator Ingalls. His tall stature, his
clustering crown of silvery hair, his pierc-
ing eyes, make himastliking figure in
the crowd. His popularity in Philadelphia
last week was great, as was attested by
an urgent invitation from the Clover Club;
but the wary Senator with his usual clever-
ness escaped the fearful ordeal prepared
for him—Tribune.
Orland H. Bronson, of Bridgeport, an
engineer on the Consolidated road was
accustomed to blow a whistle every even-
ing to signal his wife that he was coming.
Several years ago she died, but he never
failed to blow a whistle in her memory as
he sped past Mount Grove cemetery. He
has since married again, and now he blows
two whistles on his return home, one in
low mournful tone in honor Of the first
wife, the other loud and cheery to tell his
second wife that all is well.
It is announced that Gen. Joseph R.
stlcy, Of Connecticut, is soon to re-
enter the bonds of matrimony. Gen. Haw-
ley is sometimes spoken of as a candidate
for President. He is a handsome man,~
and has a sweet, facinatiug voice. These
are valuable adjuncts in any kind of a
contest, and all that Gen. Hawley now
needs to popularize himself is a charming
bride. The mere announcement of his
matrimonial intentions ought to send his
Presidential stock up at least '25 per cent.

The Tribune says: “The suggestion Of
the New York Republican Club that it
might be a good thing to hold a national
convention ot such organizations has
proved to be most popular. About 200
clubs in different states favor the idea,
and the convention will accordingly be
held in this city in the course of a month
or two. The result Of the scheme cannot
fail to benefit the party at large. It will
inevitably lead to more efficient organiza-
tion and co-operatlon in campaign work,
and greatly strengthen party cnthusiam
among all classes of voters.”
Mrs. Bissell’s school opens today. We
understand that she has secured as assist-
ant Miss Annie Tomlinsou, of Derby, Ct.,
11 young lady of superior ability, partic—
ularly in Latin and Mathematics. The
gymnastic class, which has ulwas been a
successful feature of the school will be
continued as usual and receive, as last
year, outside pupils. Our own little
grand-daughter having been one of these,
we can, from personal knowledge, speak
most heartily of the work. Mrs. Bissell’s
fummer practice in Dr. W. G. Anderson‘s
gymnasium in Chautauqua must, we are
confident. only make more sure her suc-
cess in the department of ‘ physical cul-
lure.
Much fault is found with the present
management of the Norwalk horse rail.
Republican. _
In the opinion of the Norwalk public
the horse railway managers should have
used their 10 per cent. earnings of the
present year in laying a double track, in-
stead of paying it out in dividends. There
is no end of growling among our best
people because of no cars on arrival of
trains at South Norwalk, and the horse
railway must prepare for some sort of
Opposition ere long if the evil justly com-
plained of and so long endured is not
remedied. '

There are not a few quiet and conserva- ~

to give their land.” How much truth
there is in this statement, was sought by
interviewing five of the eight landowners.
Not one had any knowledge of such a‘
movement, until informed that it was in
the paper, and therefore they were not
willing to give their land, and were op-
posed to the movement. No representa-
tive of Alderman Ely‘s estate was seen,
who could say what were their desires or
wishes, but the alderman always wanted
and obtained all his property' was worth,
when used for public improvement. We
think a city meeting will'vOtc such. an ex-
penditure down five to one.

Propagating the Sturgeon.
Seth Green, treating upon the danger of
the sturgeon becoming extinct, says in the
American Agn'aultun‘at for October :—
Thc sturgeon yields large quantities of
eggs, it not being an uncommon thing to
obtain from a Single specimen. as high as
from fifty to sixty pounds of solid eggs.
The eggs are of a dark brown color, and
seven of them placed side by- side will
measure an inch. They 'will hatch in
from three to four days in water ranging
in temperature from sixty to seventy-four
degrees. - . -
The eggs when taken from the fish are
ver glutinous, and adhere to each other
an to everythingthcy touch. The only
way they can be kept separate is by con-‘
stantly stirring theni for from thirty min-
utes to two hours, after which the gummy
substance appears to dissolve. When the
young break through the shell they are
very helpless little creatures. One peculi-
arity was noticeable on the part of the fish
in the egg was that they‘ were able to
move onlyl the middle part: of the body,
while wit other fish the tail. is the prin-
cipal part most moved. The yolk see,
which is attached to their bodies, is un-_
nsusllyvsmull for-young fry, and is ab,
sorbed in about six da 5, after which
they seekitheir OWn livel hood.
There is no doubt that the sturgeon
could be lsr ely increased in the great
lakes by artificial propagation, provided
they were kept in pens until they were in
proper condition to operate with. The
great drawback to penning them in all
tide waters, is that the small eels destroy
the eggs. by entering the fish through the
vent and eating them.
Liberty Subject to Law.
In the midst of a movement of working'-'
men for a legitimate object of agitation a
group of European outlaws intruded them-,
selves, proclaiming war upon social order.
By inflammatory publications and
speeches they ,had been calling for resist-
ance to law and destruction to property.
They had been manufacturing bombs for
this warfare. " The first fruit of their llorri- .
ble propaganda, the first use of these in-
struments pf warfare, was the wanton
murder-of officers-of the law in the' dis-
charge of their duty. It occurred while
several. of the anarchists were busily cx-.
citing the passions of their hearers; one
of them had but just paused in his
speech when the bomb was thrown by
another of their number. These men, it
should be noted, are . not sentenced to
death because they hold certain o inions
about society, but ' because they ncited
and produced murder. The lesson was
taught. them inthat verdict that liberty in
this country stops short of license, and is
subject to lam—Springfield Republican.
Mather Byla- snd Politics-
Mun good stories of the old man have
come ownto us. Theseworethe reasons
he gave his people for not preaching on
politics: ' »
First—J do not understand politics.
Second—You all do, every mother’s son
on. ..
bird—You have politics all the week;
pro , let one day bc-given to religion.
ourth—I have something better to
preach about.
June 17, 1774, whens public fast day
was proclaiined, the doctor succeeded in
frightening the British officers very much
by telling them that on this day 40,000
men, with the clergy at their head, would
rise up against them—meaning that the
diflerent congregations all-over the colony
with the clergy leading would rise in
prawn—Boston Advertiser.
. Laws IDs-pectin: Newspapers,
Printed for the benefit of those who think
that ordering a paper stopped absolvcs
them from paying up arrearsges : '
“If subscribers refuse or neglect to take
their paper from the post office to which
they are directed they are held responsible
until they have settled their bills and
ordered their papers discontinued.
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions.
If the subscribers order the discontinu-
ance of their paper the publishers may
continue to send them until all arrears
of
are paid.”
