Among the very pleasant incidents con-
nected with the pleasant Buckley-Sellcck
wedding last week, was a generous gift
and memento, presented by the entire
force of Mr. B's factory employees. It
was a thoughtful expression of their re-
gard for their employer, and so highly ap-
preciated by him that he had every one of
them invited to the marriage , ceremony,
and to a sumptuous collatiou'lhercafter.
Another thoughtful and touching gift and
remembrance was, we, are told, sent by
the bride‘s good “Uncle George” from
Milford.

The rail is not plentiful this scasOn, and
the New York sportsmen 'who have visited
the Connecticut Valley are disappointed.
Only a few report a fair day’s sport. The
largest string was taken last week by a
Norwich party,‘who bagged eighty birds.
The wild oats ripened too. late to 3attruct
the rail into the valley.
A Norwich bull dog was charged with
biting the neighbors’ animals and destroy-
ing, property, but as he was muzzlcd his
owner laughed at the charges. ‘ Being
carefully watched the dog was seen, when
ready for business, to slip his muzzle off
his nose, cast it round near his car, go in
and maini his victims, and quick as a flash
slip ihc-muzzleback with his paw, and act
as innocent of wrong as a lamb. The
muzzle straps are now drawn one hole

Rev. Dr. Bliss, of the American Thcclo-
gical College at Constantinople, gave, at
the Congregational Church, Sunday even-

capital. He also narrated the responsible
and wearing labors in which Rev. Mr.
Barnum who went out frdm Norwalk, is
engaged. He is editing the mission paper,
and has to read hisproofs in three different
languages to meet the mixed races and
nationalities who subscribe for his paper,
for we were delighted to learn that all his
heathen subscribers pay their $2 per year
for his paper, which is a deal better than
some nominally Christian subscribers to
the Gamma do betimcs. In thc'aflcrnoou

A collection was taken up at the .First
Congregational Church on Sunday, for the
benefit of its choir, which" ought to have
been, and probably was, a liberal one.
The recent improvement in the musical
part of the worship at flint church, has
certainly been as delightful as plieuumiuul,
and gives evidence of hard work and
painstaking practice. The members of
that choir are one and all entitled to the
grateful praise of every worshiper there,
but at same time, there onghtto be another
and curtained story added to the rail in
front of the singers, unless at least one
member can better restrain his usual over—
flow of animal spirits during prayer time.

—It would be a difficult matter to sin-
gle out any one line of merchandise that
has undergone more radical change in a
season than dress fabrics. The many new
textures that are brought out and the
several new colors that are shown in,
make an entirely new stock for the mer-
chant who would keep up with the times.
Early in the season the stock of The D. M.
Read Co. was closed out so that they
were in a position, when the fall fabrics
were opened, to show only the latest nov-
elties. 'They have a very fine line of
broadcloths that are used for tailor-made
suits in the new colors, abSinthe, mahog-
any, mousse, noisette, serpent and gros-
vent. The new velvet pile fabric velutina

easily and is soft and'supplc enough to
drape in any form, while substantial
enough to be used for mantles, etc.
With these essential~ qualities it will no
doubt have a large sale. A department
that the D. M. Read Go. take special pride
in is that of silk fabrics that could be'had
by placing an early importation order,
which includes rich satin duchess with
elaborate brocadcd stripes; black fuillc
Francaise, with watered stripes; black
satin dc Lyon with moire stripe; black
satin Mcrveilleus with Ottoman stripes;
black moire antique with satin stripes.
The above are offered at very attractive
prices. Some special bargains in gros-
grain, black satin duchcssc and black
watered silks, are also given in. this open-
ing sale.

Somewhere near Boston a clam mine
has been discovered which is setting the
people wild. They arrest every stranger
who goes near the diggings, for fear he’ll
steal the mine. It is located between the
towns of Essex and Ipswich, and each
town claims the exclusive right to work
it. A lawsuit is the result, and the colo-
nial records will probably have to be con-
sulted to settle the boundary line dispute.
The mine is estimated to be worth $50,000.
Those irresistibly funny fellows, the
“Two Johns” are to appear in the Opera
House next Friday evening. They need
no introduction to their Norwalk friends;
they are well and favorably known. Of
their recent appearance in Newark, N. J .,
the Arlnertz‘ser says :
“The Two Johns” Comedy Company with J.
C. (Fattie) Stewart and Paul Dresser, came
20th, for one week, and turned peo is away by
the hundreds. The fat trio. Paul ressor, J.
C. Stewart and Baby Frank Bush (who ti s the
scales at 336 lbs.), were ably assisted y an
excellent companv, in couse uence of which
the audience was fairly convu sed with laugh-
ter from the time the curtain went up until the
comedy ended. “The Two Johns” is a funny
)lay, and certainly created a genuine sensation
in Newark; ’
The Stamford Advocate takes umbrage
because the Rscono referred to its opinions
(le the Fairficld county fair as coming
from an “outsider." The Advocate should
remember that it is the proper thing to
refer to everything connected with the
county fair not strictly emanating from
Bridgeport, as from the “outside.” ‘
An idi-yacht-ic local jokcr‘ rushed into

gasped: “Why is the Volunteer like a

just. as thc'Scotch compositor threw a
shooting stickagainst the casing with a
dull thud.
A big derrick was raised Wednesday
for handling the rocks in the sewer on
Water street. It was a tremendous job to
get it into position, and the dense crowd
of idle lookerson, who stood around and
blocked up the sidewalks and gave able-
bodied advice to the bosses, were very
tired and exhausted when»it was finally
completed. .
While the temperance convention was
in session Tuesday and Wednesday, and
the town was overrun with teetotalcrs,
there were more drunken men at large
than had been seen here in a long time
before. But it was simply a coinci-
dence; the temperance delegates didn’t
get drunk, and the drunkards didn’t at-
tend the temperance convention.
What has broken loose? The police
have been kept constantly busy this week
gathering in drunken unfortunates, drunk-
en brawlers, drunken despcradocs, drunk-
jailbirds—some hardened criminals, some
beginning their downward careers. but
all drunk. There seems to be an epi—
demic of drunkenness—a drunken wave,
so to speak—~and an unusual prevalence
of petty criminal offences. All of which
suggests the query, isn’t the, term,
“drunken criminal,” a very concise defini-
tion anda palpable association of cause
and effect?
The remarkable dream recently pub
lished in Tim Races!) in which Father
Slocum and Rev. Col". Anderson exchanged
pulpits, is almost realized in the spirit of
a generous'tribute paid by Rev. T. L.
Cuylor, D. D., of Brooklyn, pastor of a
Protestant church, to Father Malone of
the same city. Writing from Dr. Strong’s
Institute, at Saratoga, he says in the New
York Evangelist: '
The most marked character among the
guests at his home, is the veteran Roman
Catholic priest, Father Malone of Brook-
lyn. He is here' for medical treatment
For over forty years
Sylvester Malone has been aconspicous
figure among the Catholic clergy of our
city, and, he is as much honoredaniong us
Protestants as he is among his own peo-
ple for his, bravery and his benevolence.
A more fearless man does not stand in
any pulpit. Several years ago Father
Malone attended the New En land Socr-
ety’s dinner on “Forcfathcr’s ay." and
delivered a ringing eulogy of the Puritan
Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock. He was a
warm friend of the late William E. Dodge,
and said to me “Some of my- Catholic
friends regarded Mr. Dodge as .a man of
strong prejudices. ' But I told them ‘N 0,.
he is only a man of strong convictions of
rcligiousduty.”’ , ‘ > . '
Father Malone is a native of Trim, near
Dublin, and is about sixty-eight; his figure
is short and stout,- and he has a genial
Irish countenance. On the Temperance
question he is as zealous as Father Mat-
thew. For Dr. McGlynn'he has a strong,
personal affection and admiration, but not
for his political hcrcsie's. On many "vital
points of theology Father Malone is a vast
deal sounder' than some loose, inverte-
brate, mucilaginous Protestants that I
wot of. Let us rejoice that in the ranks
of the Roman Catholic clergy may be
found some inenmf ,largc- courage and
charity; .wlio perpetuate; the, ,spirit for
Fenelon andof Faberr , Th'c-lovc of Christ
dwelleth in them. And in the mighty
conflict ,with'iufidcl‘ity, Sabbath (lcsecra-
tion,”athcism and drunkenness and social-
ism, we will find the assistance of such
men as Bishop Ireland and Father Malone
andFathcr Cleary..; to bcf‘fjof no small im-
importance. ' ‘ if: s. n. s. n. ,

republican," which was substantially the
republican ticket, there being but two
democrats upon it. The entire republi-

hardly two who had the same majority.

GREEN’S-FARHS.
The first meeting of the Farmers Club for
the winter, is to be held Tuesday night at
the house of the secretary.
Mr. Chas. B. Sherwood has gone to Flori-
da for the'winicr. His son Chas. G. is dan-
gerously sick with typhoid fever. It would
not be surprisingjf there was considerable
malaria this fall, after the hot summer and
with the changable weather we have.
The onion crop is small, probably not
more than sixty or seventy per cent of an
average. Potatoes as a rule are doing pretty
well, although some have rotted. Corn is a
good crop in this vicinity. The weather
has been favorable, and as crops ripened
early, farmers are well along with their fall
work.
We have had but little frost yet, but the
country begins to have the appearance of
fall. The trees are filming rapidly. Win-
ter apples'are all fit to gather, and probably
.would have kept better if put up before the
wet spell. Walnuts are getting ripe, and
are quite plenty, but other nuts are scarce.
Summer boarders are gone.
The great subject of discussion at present,
is the matter of freights. Since the war the
freight on onions, potatoes, etc., has been 30
cents per barrel. It is understood that the
carriers have agreed upon a new schedule of
15 cts per barrel, and four per cent on the
sales. 0f~course at, say $2.50 per barrel, the
freight-\vould’be 15+10=25 cents pér bar-
re], and if onions shotild‘v go as high as they
do some yenrs,"say eight or ' ten dollarshthe
freight willbe quite ’anitein'.’ :. As the boat-
men sell tliez'iproduce and. return the Z'nioney
to the farmers, it would seem that the more
”the, produce. sells for, thermorc ,‘ compensa-
tion should be . Iiad,‘=aiid their tub, in commis-
tion, is an incentive to try and get higher
prices. But it will probably be strongly op.
posed by, the farmers. ‘ They say that 20
cents is enough, as it is collected on all kinds
of produce, such as carrots, "which sell for
less than one dollar per barrel, and flic‘pay
is sure, asthe-boatmen havcthe salesmoney
and take their pay first. ,

EPISODE lN CONSTANTINOPLE.
A 1910510111 Princess Olfemls the l’i'oprio.
ties of Oriental Society—Tim Penalty.
It so happened during the past summer
that this fair princess desired to pay some
Moslem rites upon the grave of her mother,
who died the summer before upon the Boer
phorus. She came to Constantiimple, Her
physicians ordered her to Prinkipo. There
she took a house near ours, and, us in duty
bound, I make my devoirs. My wife invites
her to ride in our launch, amid the isles of
our beautiful little archipelago: Without
much reflection I procure a carriage, drive to
the villa of the princess and tap the knocker.
IIcr man servant comes to the door, and soon
she appears radiant in all the beauty of her
white tulle yushniak, and as stately as be-
came one of the line of Mehemet Ali. I as-
sist. her into the carriage. She sits by the
side of my wife and they make the vivacious
French incandescent with their talk. We
drive to the scale, where the flag and the
launch await us. Unfortunately at this time
one of the ferries from Constantinople comes
in and lands about a thousand passengers.
They see the Giaour, with the stovcpipo hat.
He is gailantingufllohnminedan lady. The
rumor reaches the kaimakani, or governor of
the island. We return to the scala after our
sail among the islands. We drive her to her
home in the carriage, which is waiting. What
is the result? Before I take the boat that day
for Constantinople lily driver, Iiorscs and ear-
_ rlage are arrested by order of the kaimakainl
This Is indeed an adventure not provided
for by any instructions from the state de~
partmcnt. _ At once I send a remonstrance to
tho kaimakam against the arrest of one in
the employ of tbe'Ainericnn minister. It is
couched in unabridged terms, such as are eni-
bruced in the word interterritoriality.
It is needless to say that this proceeding
reached the prefect; in the city, and I fear
the sultan and the palace also. There has
been an apparent infraction of the Turkish
law, which forbids a Mahometan woman,
unless of princely rank, to be seen upon the
street with any man, and more especially a
Christian. The plug but made a priniafacic
case. However, the matter was decorously
settled, as it should have been; for the kai-
makam had exceeded his authority. It was
a. matter outside of his jurisdiction. His con-
duct was arbitrary. He had no warrant or
process for the seizure of the horses, the
driver or carriage. If there had not; been an
Oriental princess in the case—who exhibited
r‘some sensibility in relation to her royal in-
dependency, which perhaps she had over-
stepped—tho matter might have figured in
our diplomatic correspondence. As it was,
the affair was properly settled without a pur-
suit of the governor. My impression is that
he did not know the quality of the lad] nor
the capacity of the minister. I had occasion
toremedy at the palace any seeming 'mis-
chief which may have been done. The prin-
cess left us the next day, which was the be-
ginning of Bairam, in order tosacriiice a
sheep upon the grave of her mother. She
was a‘dovout Moslem, as well as a. most
charming and intelligent woman. ’
I am sorry to undignify the kaimakam of
the Princes Islands, who produced so-much
trouble in this romance of the princess.
Since I left the island he has become an ex-
kuimakam. This means an unknown quan-
tity not only in algebra, but; in politics. He
was removed fpom office. He had been un-
mindful of the relation of mcum ct tunin.
He ovcrdrew his salary by more than $8,000,
an act without legality on his part, or satis-
faction on the other para—S. S. Cox’s Book.
Pleasure and Pain.
Thus no one can define life or death, and
pleasure and pain are equally incapable of
definition, or even of accurate description.
“’9 think we know what it is to live and feel
pleasure or pain, but when we attempt to ex—
press our thoughts by words we discover that
the feat is impracticable. The answer to the
question “What is pain?” must therefore be,
“No one knows.” This is how far we have
proceeded in the quest for adeflnitivc answer.
Pain is a sensation which more or less rapidly
and acutely ossails the faculty of endurance.
In its connnonest forms it is suffering pro-
duced by nerve: excitation, the elements of
the nervous apparatus being either directly
or by a transmitted irritation mechanically
disturbed. For eiample, compressed, as in
squeezing or bursting pain; or stretched, as
when the pain is aching or tearing; bruised
or laceratcd, as when the pain is duo to a cut
or wound of some sort. It is not; of course
always the fact that these mechanical injuries
to nervous tissue take place at the point to
which pain is referred, because, beluga sensa—_
tion, pain is felt at some seat of sensa~
tion that is in connection with the sensory up-
paratus affected, although it may be remote
from the point where the impression is pro-
duced. In short, pain may be a message of
suffering sent; from some injured part through
a chain of nerve elements as ninessage of
word symbols is transmitted by a telegraphic
Wire—London Lancet. _ , "
The Newport Girl A-Drivmg.
Bellevuc avenue in the morning is quite
another place from Bellevuo avenue in the
afternoon. In the early hours of the day it-
abounds with pretty girls; they are pretty in
their fresh morning costumes, flitting hero
and there, buying the little odds and ends of
which woman is in perpetual need. What do
these “buds" want? Iasked the other day.
“They drive up and down in their ornate
carts, looking like peripatetic butterflies;
they pause for an instant here, they flutter
out there, they light In shop door and reap-
pear in nsecond, get in their vehicles, the
tiger jumps on behind and of! they go, heaven
knows where." “It is a part of the‘day’s
parade,” was the reply to my question.
A few hours later those same divine young-
sters will be driving again through the
avenue like circus riders. attired in even more
bewildering toilets than those of the morn-
ing. The Newport girl wears a brilliant enr-
mine gown of some soft silken fabric and a
little cap of the same material on her head,
and she sits bolt upright like a rnmrod, with
the reins held within six inches of her sweet
little chin, and away she goes, with a tiny,
white breeched tiger holding on for dear life
behind the high T cart. There must be some-
thing in Newport air that lends courage to
the most timid social flower. I have yetto
see a girl who is afraid to drive a stylish
turnout. Even the Syear-old infant cries for
ndonkey cartn'nud what is more gets it. I
saw'one of these infantile turnouts the other
day, and it is no exaggeration to say the
white aproned nurse probably put the whole
affair In her pocket when Master Threestars
grew a—weary of this pastime of driving over
the big avenue—Boston Herald.
