Mr. Fsrwell now rcpudiatcs the expressions imputed to him, according to “The Chi- cago Inter-Ocean," says he was not pres- ent at the meeting, and reiterates his pre- vious declarations that, in his opinion, the Illinois delegation should not be or- ganizcd for any one. ———-‘009‘ In 1880 there were in the states 2,385 counties. Of these all but 103 raised a greater or less number of sheep. Texas had 51 counties out of 225; Kansas. 12 out of 104, anti Colorado. 11 out of 31, in which there were no sheep. No other state had more than six counties that were without sheep. It is safe to say that now there are not 50 counties in the United States in which sheep are not grown. No other industry is so widely diffused among the people, and yet it is proposed to strike down sheep growing to maintain a tax on tobacco. The revenue reduction would be less than $6,000,000. Who will vote for this measure? The democrats are working the depen- dent pension bill in congress, with a view of making up, if they can, the ground that Cleveland has lost with the old sol— diers. Senator Plumb of Kansas started a lively controversy in the Senate Tucs- day by questioning the motives of the democratic members of the pension com— mittee, intimating that they were trying to patch tip a bill that would find favor at the White House. Indignaut denials fol- lowed, and Mr. Ingalls was finally com- pelled to interfere. The Washington cor—— resporident to the Springfield Republican says: “There is probably a large grain of truth in what Plumb said. If the demo- crats can get through a pension bill and have the President sign it, they think it will offset—some of the feeling which has been roused against him for his veto of the dependent pension bill in the last con~ grcss.”—Merz'den Republican. 9 There is a prevailing impression among leading Democrats in Kingston to the cf- fcct that Cleveland will withdraw hislname from the contest for the Presidential nom- ination either within a few weeks or just prior to the St. Louis Convention. They say he will reaffirm the position taken by him in his letter accepting the former nomination that a second term it a doubt— ful and dangerous custom and will base his withdrawal upon that ground. Then it is claimed the New York Hill contln geucy will stampede the party for their favorite candidate and the Governor will be nominated amid a grand burst of enthu- siasm. Most of the Democrats in Kings— ton and throughout Ulster county are Hill men. If not. in precise accord with their honest belief, it is entirely safe to say that it is in fttll harmony with their desires. Supposing the Democrats nominate Cleveland for President with anybody, no malterwho, for Vice—President, and the Republicans nominate Ben Harrison, of Indiana for President and Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut, Vice-President, is there any doubt that Harrison and Hawley would carry Indiana and Connec- ticut? We think there is no doubt about it, none whatever, and that would elect them, and Cleveland would get left even if he carried New York. But he couldn’t carry New York nor New Jersey. The only Democratic ticket that can carry Indiana or New York and New Jersey, against such a Republican ticket as we have named, is Gov. Hill certain, and, say Holman, of Indiana. Even then with Harrison on the Republican ticket, Indiana would be doubtful, but probably Demo— cratic. The tickets would then be corn- poscd of the harmonious alliterations, Hill and Holman, Harrison and I-Iawley— good, strong tickets on both sides—Daily Democrat.

It declares that vast mono- poly to be “the real enemy" of American industries and the “greatest promoter of free trade. So farit is well. But the Sun does not go far enough. The Democratic party is the sole reliance of the “whisky power” which the Sun denounces. In re- turn tliewbisky power placed Mr. Cleve- land in authority. The narrow margins by which the electoral votes of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut were given to Mr. Cleveland were furnished by the whisky shops within a few miles of the Sun office. The Sun is right. Thewhisky ring should be struck hard by withdraw- ing the protecting arm of the interns. revenue system. But the Sun should change it's political attachment, so that it may not go down with the Democratic party, which is sure to tumble when the whisky powt-r prop is: knocked out. The . . ... . . -. -.

A mod deal of alarm has been awaken- ed in England because of the increase of drunkenness among what are there called the “upper class.” The Bishop of Liver- pool and another bishop have recently spoken out on the subject, and have gone so far as to say that even ladies in fashion- able circles had been guilty of drinking to excess. And now there has been a nation al scandal. One night last week the Prince of Wales. in a theater, to which he had gone directly from the race track where a horse owned by him had been the winner. because his only competitor had fallen, - indulged in ninudlin drunken talk for a quarter of an hour, interfering with the performance, disgracing himself and his country, and was at last taken out by his companions. .._——_.. A Postmaster in a small village in Mis- sissippi has written to the Postmaster- Gencral, asking him to discontinue the ofiicc. He explains that his neighbors, who are wool growers, became distrustful of his rabbit. dog, and. in consequence, he states, “it turned up missing.” “So I am left here,” continues the postmaster pathetically, “without the means of sus— tenance. So if you expect me to set up nights for the train you will have to for— ward at once some pork and beans or some other nourishment, or a new post— master will havc to be appointed at this place.” He adds in a postscript, “Mr. ——wants me to split him some rails if lean get rid of this office, so htirry up with the grub or the discharge." The office was discontinued in response to this appeal. .0.-—————‘ William G. Lineburgh, Esq., of Bridge- port. is by a provision in the will of the late John D.

CO The attraction at the Opera House on Friday, March 16, is Chanfrau in Kit, the Arkansas Traveler. Lengthy comment on the star or piece is not necessary, as both are too well known to require it. Kit was the opening attraction at. the Boston Theatre for fifteen consecutive seasons. Mr. Chanfrau in the title role is a very pleasing actor, and he is surround- ed by an exceptionally strong cast. All of the special features which have made the piece famous throughout the United States, will be introduced. The favorite comedy characters, the Judge and Major, are iii the hands of clever comedians, and always evoke roars of laughter. The fol- lowrng notice from the Providence Journal, speaks Well of the performance : ,A good audience greeted Chanfrau last night at Low's Grand Opera House to witness the production of Kit, the Ark- ansas Traveller, the play so well known to theatre goers for a number of years past. The drama does not seem iolose its hold on the public, and its presenta- tion last evening met with warm approval, judging from the applause bestowed on Mr. Chanfrau and his company. He por- trays thc sturdy character of Kit forcibly and attractively and leaves very little to be desired. In‘ the steamboat scene, where he recovers his lost “Little Allie,” Mr. Chanfrau shows strong dramatic ability, and secures the spontaneous sympathy of the audience by his earnest- ness and a touch of genuine feeling. The company employed in the cast is adequate to the demands and gives excellent sup- port in bringing out the prominent and strong scenes. ' no. ————-- . The Southern New England Telephone Company has prepared a map of the state showing in great completeness the trunk lines which connect one exchange with another. The diagram sliowsadistance of over 3,000 miles of trunk line, on 52,465 poles, covering the state to all points. These lines are used by subscri- "bers in talking from one town to another. The trunk lines are now used as grounded circuits, but the company is now engaged in. making alterations in switch boards which will enable it to use the wires as double or metallic circuits. This will do away with the trouble uristng from tele— graph nntl electric light induction, ini- prove the workings of the tulrphoncs very materially, rendering Ill-.E st'l'VICC belwct-n towns very satisfactory. Besides these 3,000 miles of trunk lines the company operates 4,300 miles of exchange wires, which run from residences and busi— ness places into the different central offices. There are in the state thirty—six different exchanges operated by the South- ern New England Telephone Company and all but. about half a dozen towns are connected by the company’s wires. The principal exchanges are connected with the copper wires of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, and any subscriber having a copper loop can con- verse with people in Boston. Worcester, New York, Providence and Philadelphia. Tire company has on its pay roll the names of 1'75 employee, of whom 110 are operators.

The distinc- tion is rather fine. If the Public Printer and” the Assistant Secretary of the Treas- ury may unite in the distribution of cum- paign documents, why may they not also secure the assistance of the postmasters? The fact is that Mr. Benedict and Mr. Maynard, mailing campaign documents throughout New York State, “through private agencies,” would constitute a case of pernicious activity quite as scandalous, through perhaps not as effective as if they had secured the assistance of the post- masters. The last of the trio of the Faircliild jewelry store burglars were sentenced yesterday afternoon. After “Kid” Mc- Manus had pleaded guilty,bcen given four years, and taken back to jail, Joe Dollard and George Feyth were taken from the jail, hustled into a hack and brought into, the court room during the progress of the Schecle trial.’ At 5.20 p.m., when the hearing in the School: case had concluded for the day, Feyth and Dollard Were put to plead.- Dollard answered “guilty" when the indictment was read to him, but Feyth pleaded “not. guilty,” by advice of his counsel, who probably wished to find out whether the prisoner would receive any benefit for turning State’s evidence. After a short consultation with Judge Torrance, Judge Lockwood, Feytli’s counsel, had his client change his plea to “guilty.” Judge Torrance then sen- tenced Dollard to three years in the State prison and Feyth to two years. It is titr- derstood that Dollard, since his arrival at the jail, has shown a disposition to divulge what he knew about the burglary. When brought into the court room yesterday, Feyth and Dollard were locked together. Dollard has sworn vengeance against his partner in crime for “squealing," but be- trayed no signs of any enmity yesterday. Feyth was dressed very neatly, cleanly shaven, and his, hair carefully brushed, while Dollard presented a marked con- trast with his rough dress anti tumbled hair. The disposition of the three cases was a general surprise.

Selleck had leased his school on East avenue to aNorth River gentleman fora military school,_is correct. The gentleman who has leased the school is Col. Frank Roberts, an experienced and efficient principal, who about ten years ago was employed as tutor in the military department of Mr. Selleck’s school here, and who is at present conducting a large and successful military academy in Croton Landing, N. Y., and will bring from twenty to twenty—five pupils with him from that institution. He leases only the school department of the main buildin, and a corresponding portion of the schoo grounds, Mr. Sellcck reserving for his own use the cottages, etc., where he will instruct a limited number of pupils as heretofore. Col. Roberts takes possession June 21st, but the regular academic term will not begin until September, although it is possible that a summer term may be opened in Ci'llfllll branches. It is ex ported that Col. Roberts will increase the number of his pupils to the full capacity of 'the school. which will accommodate with case about sixty boarding scholars. llc will be assisted by a corps of tutor‘s and the pupils will he uniformed and will drill with all the arms and accoutremenls of military science. Mr. Selleck is en- thusiasiic over the new arrangement, and assures us that it will be a material bene- fit to the social and business welfare of the community, ‘a consummation not only dcvoully to he wished, but easily foreseen. This school was established by Mr. Sel— leck in 1855, anti was for years conducted as a preparatory academy and naval train- ing school, antl numbered among its patrons boys from all parts of the world. In the height of its success there were 127 regular boarding pupils in this school, and any number of applicants for each vacancy, and it. is a matter for congratulation that under the administration of Col. Roberts he prospect is good for a return of the old—time prosperity of the school. Commander Home of the Department , of Conn., G. A.

Neighbors having complained of the falling cinders from the smoke stack of Mcssenger& Co.’s engine, an injunction was issued by Judge Hall, of Bridgeport, last week, restraining Johnson & Raymond from using said engine. The whole mat— ter was an oversight, and the use of soft coal was resorted to at a time of great pressure in business, when hard coal could not be obtained, owing to a strike in the mines. It is the opinion of many that the difficulty could have been settled out of court better than in it. -gAA—__ . Real Estate Chances.

In that clumsy machine much was sacgi- ficed to secure the loudness of tone neces- sary for exhibition in public halls,_while with the 'new phonograph accuracy and clearness, rather than power have been sought, and, it is claimed, have been at- tained. Though .. ai‘iblc when applied to one car only, the sound is best heard through the double ear-phone, and when so delivered is said to produce upon the listener an effect like that of a clear voice speaking within the head. The mechan- ism, which is quitc simple, can be controll- ed by the operator’s foot, so that a type- writer in using it has both hands free; he can also, by a mere pressure, cause any or every sentence to be repeated. The al- ternating adjustment, by means of which the phonograph is made to listen and then repeat what it has heard, can be easily and quickly made. ——-—-——<§>——-——— English as She is Spoke.

The horses that were raised in the coun- try districts of Kentucky and Missouri were splendid animals for all around use, but now there seems to be nothing be- tween the weedy, delicate racer good for :1 mile dash, but who would break down in a three days’ forced march, and the heavy animal that does excellently for wagon or light artillery use, but is too slow and clumsy for the cavalry. Even when we get a horse that has at once bone and stamina it. is nearly always the case that he has a. long back, that; curse of the cavalry’horse, for weak kidneys are in- evita ‘ly the result after one season’s carn- paign. Horse boards now have to go over the country with a. fine toothed comb to find the active, short coupled horses that are the best for service and which used to be found on every large farm. Unless something is done by the breeders the splendid saddle horses for which the Mis- sissippi valley once was famous will en~ tirely disappear. —St. Louis Post-Dis- patch. A Recent Invention.

The use of reading is to lighten the load of life and to open vistas of thought which otherwise would be closed to us. Nobody who has any sense wants to go to school again and “stodge” himself with mere information. There are, of course, persons who yearn to learn the names of the kings of Judah in their proper order, and to hear how blacking is made; but they are no better for it. when they have acquired the knowledge, even if (as often happens) they are not seized with a dis- tressing desire to impart it. to their fellow creatures. It has been whispered to me by persons moving in intellectual circles that the effect of even “the higher cult- ‘ure” is not necessarily exhilarating. It may improve the mind withoutimproving the man, and as a companion in fact it often leaves him duller than it found him, because he has been educated beyond his wits. The mind of man is very curious and cannot be catered for without oue’s inquiring into jts character. \tht makes me laugh in my sleeve is to see the fury into which preachers and teachers and lecturers all lash themselves because nine out of ten will persist; in taking fiction out of the lending libraries instead of “improving literature.” It seems to be quite inexplicable to most of them, though some, I see, attribute it. to original sin. In connection with this sub- ject it is pleasant, but by no means sur- prising to those who are really acquainted with it, to learn that Darwin was a de- vourcr of novels. After middle life he lost his taste for music, painting and even poetry. “On the other hand,” he writes, “novels, which are works of imagination —and even those which have nothing re- markable about them—have for some years afforded me prodigious relaxation and pleasure, and I often bless the race of novelists. A large number of novels have been read aloud to me, and I love them all, even if they are only middling, especially if they end well. Alaw ought to be passed prohibiting them to end badly. ’ ’—-Independent. Teaching no a M'akeslifft. Any man thinks he can teach school. The college boy teaches in the intervamcf his vacation to bring in a. little money, or makes a pastime of it for ayear or two after he gets his diploma, and whiie'he is deciding upon a profession. The man who can do nothing else feels that he can always fall back upon teaching. It is no disparagemeuf. to the many able and con- scientious instructors to say that there is a. large number of incompetent-s in the profession, men and women who are not qualified either by natural gifts or train- ing for their work, who, while they may have the technical knowledge required, lack entirely—and this is the worst of all —thnt warmth of nature that would enable them to kindle the sacred fire of pure aspiration in the breasts of the children under their care. They have nothing in them, and so they give nothing out. How many teachers there are of this type—empty as drums. You knock at' the door of the soul, and get nothing but sound back for your pains. In some re- spects the teacher is invested with a graver responsibility than the preacher. These young minds are so many fresh tablets on which the first impressions of life are to be written down. What shall they be? Shall they make for intellectual, and above all moral growth, for generos- ity, nobility, manliness and womanliness, or shall they cramp the soul as well as the mind, and leave the better part of both inert? It. is largely in the teacher’s power to say. There is a. responsibility to make the conscientious man tremble at times, and yet how many men there are who set about teaching with as little thought as other men set; about sawing wood.-‘—-New York Tribune. The Cruel Russian Despotfsm. The Russians determining a thing in advance let nothing stop them. Take the case of a young lawyer I met: in east- ern Siberia. He had been arrested as one of the 200 propagandists, the men who went; about preaching liberality in gov- ernment and literature. Tried, he was one of the 193 acquitted. Some months afterward he was asked to come to dinner with the governor of his province. The twp1 had taken coffee, when the official sai : “I am very sorry, but. I have a. telegram telling me to order you to eastern Siberia.” “But on what. grounds?” “I don’t know; these are my only in- structions. ’ ’ _ Getting a three weeks' respite in which to settle up his business, he was put into Moscow prison, and finally, traveling by stages, reached the place of his exile. Re- peatedly on his route be pressed his cap- tors for the reason of his arrest. Finally he was informed. The charge was not having abandoned his former criminal ac- tivity. And he had just been acquitted of having any previous activity. “One day after the young man’s arri- val, as he told me,” said Mr. Kennan, “he was discussing with some of his com- panions the cause of their presence in eastern Siberia. One had been circulat- ing a forbidden book, and so on. It came to the lawyer. He confessed he had been unable to find out. any real cause for his punishment. ‘Your father had a black and white cow, didn’t he?’ laughed one. “ ‘Yes, I suppose so.’ “ ‘Oh, well, you needn’t look any fur- ther for the reason of your exile. The possession of a cow is sufiicient.’ ”— George Kennnn. Dangerous Cosmetics in France. In a report submitted to the Hygienic council of Paris by Drs. Dubrisay and Chafin, the authors state that the per- fumery and toilet products now sold eon- tnin so many noxious substances that it is desirable the factories should be placed under special surveillance. They give a number of instances in support of their statement. ‘The so-callcd “harmless and purely vegetable” hair dyes, they say, are all poisonous. “Prpgressive dyes” are ammoniacal solutions of nitrate of silver. The “instantaneous dyes” are a solution of litharge in lime water. “Eau (103 Fees” is a. solution of sul- phate of lead in hyposulphite of soda. “Eau Figaro” consists of three solutions - (1) of nitrate of silver and sulphate of copper; (2) sulphide of sodium; (3) cyanide of potassium (to remove the silver stains). “Eau des Fleurs” is composed of rose water, 95.5; flowers of sulphur, 2.7; acetate of lead, 2.8. Passing to cosmetics, they say “Lait antipellique” is composed of corrosive sublimate, 1.7; oxide of lead, 4.22; sulphuric acid and camphor. “Lait de manille” is a mixture of borax, copper. tincture of benzoin, and essence of bitter almonds; “Lait do Ninon,” of bismuth and zinc; “Eau Magique,” oxide of lead and hyposulphite of zinc; “Eau de flenr de lys,” protocbloride of mercury; “Eau royal de Windsor,” glycerine and oxide of lead; “Eau de Cast-ills,” hyposulphite of soda. and acetate of lead. The “Poudre Pilivore de Laforet” contains mercury (1‘). 60 grains; sulphide of arsenic, 30 grains; litharge, 30 grains, and starch, 30 grains. “Epetiene” is simply sulphite of calcium, and “Antiboldos” hyposulpuite of soda. Pomades against baldness all contain canthnrides and croton oil.-—American Druggist. ~ Protecting Telegraph \Vires in Chili. When the electrical telegraph was first introduced into Chili, a stratagem was re sorted to in order to guard the posts and wires against damage on the part of the Araucanian Indians and maintain the connection between the strongholds on the frontier. There were at; the time be- tween forty and fifty captive Indians in the Chilian camp. Gen. Pinto called them together, and pointing to the tele. graph wires, he said: “Do you see those wires?” “Yes, general.” “Very good. I want you not to go near or touch them; for if you do your bands will be held, and you witlbe unable to get away." The Indians smiled incredulonsly. Then the general made them each in succession take hold of the wires at. both ends of an electric battery in full operation. After which he exclaimed: “I command you to let go the wirel” “I can’t; my hands are benumbed,” said the Indian. The battery was then stopped and the man re- leased. . Not long afterward the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict in- junctions to keep the secret, and notto betray it to their countrymen on any ac- count. This had the desired effect, for, as might be expected, the experiment was relatet “in the strictest confidence” to every man of the tribe, and the telegraph has ever since remained unmolested.-—- Electrical Review.
