tonic.
The Pansy for April brightens our table
with its pretty cover. The contents are
even more interesting than usual. Pansy
(who is undoubtedly the most popular
writer to-day of the best class of Sunday
school literature) edits the magazine, and
several of the stories this month are from
her pen.
This is the season of the year when the

This, if you please, is April, “the merr
month of the cuckoo and the violet." t
has also been variously described by Mr.
George Meredith as a “weeping tender-
ness" and a “blue delight." A little less
of the moisture and a little more of the
azure would be generally welcomed as an
improvement, but we have to take our
Aprils (like our other experiences) as they
come, and make the best of them—Hart—
ford Cour-ant.

city, which goes to Norwalk, to take part
in the gymnastic tournament there ex act

awarded to the most proficient team in
gymnastic exercise—Bridgeport News.
Sad to relate the Bridgeport team went
home empty handed, and only one from the
tail end of the list.
In remarks upon the comparative value
of advertising space, George P. Powell &
Co.’s “Newspaper Directory” for 1889, now
in press, speaks as follows of the advantages
which weekly papers offer to advertisers:
“In daily newspapers, advertisements are
worth about one-third the price which a
weekly issuing the same number of copies
can demand.”
“Tige,” an intelligent and valuable
coach dog belonging to Ofilcer Tuttle of
Danbury, deliberately committed suicide
the other day by holding his head under
water in a pond. He had suffered for a
long time with a swollen throat which
prevented swallowing any kind of food,
and is believed to have intentionally put
an end to his own sufferings.
The plan tried by Norwalk parties to
cure a man of drinking—by frightening
him by a ghostly apparition—worked well
in that one case. but. it will not do to try
it on every drinking man. There are
some whose courage does not ooze out as
the liquor is poured in, and the playful
ghost may be perforated by apistol bullet,
or get a blow on his wind pipe that will
knock him out in one round—Anemia
Sentinel.
As the weather warms up and the fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of fishing, ex-
President Cleveland begins to realize that
he madea great mistake in not having
himself tc-elected last fall. As a private
citizen he cannot hope to catch fish such
as he used to take up in the Adirondacks
when he was the chief executive of this
star Spangled nation.
-Prcscripiions compounded at Quintard’s.
A charming number of a charming
magazine—such must be the general opin-
ion of the April issue of Our Little Men
and Women. The magazine is as admi-
rably adapted for school supplementary
reading as for home use. It is a treasure
box of pictures and stories for the little
ones beginning to read. Send five cents’
to the publishers, D. Lothrop Company,
Boston, for a sample back number. Sub-
scription price, $1.00 a year.
The Winnipauk extension of the horse
railway is nearly completed. The rails
are laid from Joe Randle’s store in Winni-
pauk, to the main line at Donovan’s cor-
ner, although the connection with the
main line has not yet been made. The
pavers are down as far as Ike Lee's and
will finish it in a few days. Contractor
Hutchingson has hustled the work along
rapidly, and has evidently made a good
job of it.
The other day a Bridgeport man bought
two quarts of clams, and while being
opened a pearl worth $40 was found in
one of them. Lucky man. But not so
lucky as was Charley Brotherton who last
summer bought a shed in which he claims
to have found a ladies’ gold watch, which
he sold to Abraham Wright for $125.
Charley says: “For once in my life I was
sure of having bought a shad that was
freshly caught, for the watch didn’t run
down in three hours after I found it.”-—Re-
publican.
The coolest kind of a trust was estab-
lished at Meriden, Conn., last week, in
the Connecticut Ice Dealers’ Association,
including about fifty merChants.of this
refreshing and necessary commodity, who
state that the price will have 'to be from
40 to 100 per cent. higher if lice be im .
ported, as it is believed it will have to be.
Unfortunately this is a combination
against which no one can turn a cold
shoulder.
On Friday evening last Mr. and Mrs.
William Buttery, who live in the old
Harris homestead on Belden avenue, gave
a pleasant sociable to about twenty of
their friends and neighbors. As soon as
the guests had arrived dancing was com-
menced,and with the exception devoted to
refreshments, they tripped the light fan-
tastic too until the “wee sma’ hours,’
when they departed for home declaring,
by a unaminous vote, that their host and
hostess were jolly good people.
Joseph Kenney, who was sent to state
prison for 20 years in 1885 for rape, made
his escape from prison on Sunday night
by removing some brick from the wall of
his cell, crawling into the attic, breaking
aholc through the roof and leaping to
the ground. He has not yet been appre-
hended. Warden Chamberlain has offer-
ed $100 reward for his capture. The
prison management is generally censured
for carelessness in making this, the 5th
escape, possible.

The funeral of Mrs. Bessie Fancber,wife
of Eugene Fancher, Esq., now of Bridge-
port, took place at Waterbury, Tuesday
last. Mrs. Fancher had been declining in
health ever since her residence here in
Norwalk, but it was not till her removal to
Now Canaan and thence to Bridgeport,
that serious results were _ apprehended.
Last year she passed several months in
the Adirondacs, when her disease rapidly
developed into consumption. She was a
most amiable and estimable woman, wife,
mother and friend, and her death has cast
a gloom over a wide circle of loving friends.
Her desolate and stricken husband and
child will receive the heartfelt sympathy

The only business of consequence trans-,
acted at the monthly meeting of the court
of burgesses Monday evening, was the dis-
cussion of the matter of calling a special
borough meeting. A number of citizens
were present and argued pro and con. The
result is the call for the meeting appears in
the GAZETTE to-day.
Rich old Peter Cooper gave this as his
theory of money getting: "My son, I never
went to bed without saving half of what my
days’ profits were. If I made a dollar, half
a dollar was put away. I carried that rule
into active life when I became a merchant,
and never departed from it.” There is no
great difficulty in saving profits; the diffi—
culty is to get any profits to save.

Yesterday afternoon a Post reporter
stopped in a store on Main street, near
Congress street, and while talking with the
proprietor a carriage drove up to the place
and halted. The driver jumped out and
unliitched a team from an iron post, backed
it away and then hitched his own team to
the post, and went into another store.
"That’s what I call cheek,” said the store—
keeper to thc reporter-.3 “Why ?” asked the
latter. “That was my team that follow
unhitched and I had that post set there
myself at a cost of three dollars and a half,”
was the reply—Bridgeport Post.

The democrats in the Rhodo Island
general assembly are credited with trying
to play a game of swop. Their reputed
purpose is either to unite with the Spooner
faction on the-senatorship vote and thus
create a vacancy in the office of represen—
tative in Congress, which they may stand
a chance of filling with a member of their
own party at a special election, or making
a bargain for their votes in some other
direction, in return for republican support
in the general state election this week.

Murat Haletead is net the first editor—
appointee to be rejected by the senators
for having written sharp things about
them. The name of Isaac Hill, of the
New Hampshire Patriot, a democratic
sheet of Jackson’s time,-was thrown out
for objectionable utterances. Van Buren,
too, failed to go as minister to England in
1821 because Clay and Webster wished to
punish him. But these rebukes proved
boomerangs. Editor Hill was promptly
made a United Statessenator by his in-.
dignant constituents and Van B'uren staid
home only to become vice president and
later president.

through President Clark, Judge Putnam,
Judge Harrison, of New Haven, and ex-
Governor Robinson, objected to the
clauses of the bill presented, which de-
fined the capital of the road at $3,155,000:
and which might be taken to give the road
rights to build thirty mile branches in
Connecticut. After a long discussion
these objectionable clauses were stricken
out by agreement between the counsel
and a bill presented that does not define
the amount of capital, and makes the con-
sent of Connecticut necessary before any

Whenever Mr. F. E. Meeker retires from
the post ofiicc in this city Colonel J. W.
Knowlton will resume the charge. It is
simply justice to Mr. Meeker to say he
has faithfully and conscientiously per-
formed the duties connected with the
important position. [the he has failed
in any particularit has been due to his
inexperience and lack of familiarity with
the business of the ofi‘lce and not
from neglect or carelessness. Mr. Meeker
succeededavctcran in the postal service
who was familiar with the business
in all its connections with and relations to
the general business of the country, and
he could not reasonably be expected 'to
maintain the high degree of efficiency
which characterized the administration of
his predecessor. As postmaster Mr.
Meeker has acquitted himself honorably
and will retire from the position with the ‘
good wishes and res ect of the entire
community. Colonel nowlton was ap-
pointed postmaster by President Grant in
the year 1875 and held the ofilce until No-
vember, 1886. His term of ofilce would
not have expired by limitation until Dc—
cember, 1887. Following the precedent
establishcd by Mr. Cleveland’s adminis-
tration in respect to the retirement of
Colonel Knowlton, it is possible that Mr.
Micker may be asked to vacate the ofilcc
bo'ore the expiration of his official team,
but this the future alone will determine.

An amusing instance of the value of
presence of mind in a trying and unex-
pected situation occurred in the Opera
House on Friday evening, when the drama
"Martial Law" was presented, in the not
where the heavy villian was brought to
buy and his relentless pursuer was to
shoot him down. The avenger raised his
gun, aimed and pulled the trigger, but
thecap snapped and the gun didn't go ofi
and, of course, the villian couldn’t with
any realistic effect fall dead when he
hadn’t been shot. The avenger took in
the situation in an instant, and, with an
exclamation of rage, threw down his
gun, drew a knife from his belt, and,
springing upon the doomed man. he
hissed, “Villain, you shall not escape me i"
and stabbed him artistically to the heart,
making. the execution" fully as blood-
Curdling as if it had been “down on the
bills." This calls_ to mind a similar stage,
incident which occurred in a certain met-
ropolitan theatre. The villain was repre-
sented as being in prison and in the act of
filing the iron bars from the window of
his cell, preparatory to making his escape.
According to the plot the keeper was to
discover the prisoner in the act of filing
the bars and shoot him dead on the spot.
All went smoothly until the keeper sur-
prised the prisoner and took aim with the
musket. The lock was out of order and
the keeper couldn’t pull the trigger. Here
was an exciting climax depending on
the prisoner falling headlong to the floor
of the cell and tragically dying, The
prisoner, however, was equal. to the ~ re.-
quirements of the occasion, and,lthrowing
up his hands and stumbling heavily to the
floor, he exclaimed: , “My God! I have
swallowed my file!" and perished in the
highest style of the art.

’ Bessie Mosman, wife of Eugene Fan—

after a protracted illness. Her attractive

many friends both when a school girl hero

If we may judge from the newspapers
comments on Senator Platt’s remarks as
to the inadequacy of congressional sal-
aries, the time has come when some
action may safely be taken in the matter.
A bill to increase the salary of members of
both houses to, y, $10,000, the increase
to begin only wit the Congress succeed-
ing the one which passes the bill and
avoiding the odious back pay feature
which called down such a flood of con-
demnation several years ago, would
appear to meet the approval of most peo-
ple and the opposition of but few. But it
is, nevertheless, a measure of such kind
that a very slight opposition to begin with
may be greatly exaggerated and made
very offensive. So that there is likely to
be considerable delicac and hesitation
about introducing it.— aterbury Ameri'.

And now it is reported that Swift, the
Hartford wife murderer, whose sentence
was commutedto life imprisonment, owes
his escape from anging, to a poker hand.
The stOry’goes that four members of the
house of representatives sat down to a
game of poker a few nights before the
vote was taken and after playing several
hours and before betting on a hand that
was dealt, one of the players asked the
others how they we‘re going to vote on the
Swift commutation resolution. The whole
three replied that they were going to vote
against it. “Well, I’m going to vote for
commutation, and I’ll bet my vote against
that of any of you that I hold the best
band,” said the first. . All three accepted
the challenge and showed up their hands.
One of the men had jacks up, anotherhad
three queens and another had tens full of
eights. The man who proposed the wager
quietly remarked: “You’ve all got good
hands, but four little threes will win the
pot, and I hold you men good to. your
word to vote for Swift," which they did,
thus giving the resolution the three votes
over the majority. According to this
version, if the first man had lost at poker
Swift would ccrtainlyhang next Friday.
No enemy of capital punishment Can say, L
in the light of this circumstancmthat draw
poker has not some redeeming features.
A Parallel Anyway.
The New Haven News, which seems to
think it knows what it knows about rail—
road matters, and always says something
about them any way, has this:
It is expected that the railroad commit-
tee of the legislature will report this week
on the bills in which the Housatonic peo-
ple ask power to build and bond a railroad
between New Haven and New York, and
authority to buy out the New York and
Connecticut Air Line. Nothing has been
learned to change the previously formed
impression that the report of the commit-
tee will be adverse to the Housatonic.
In the event of such a report the action
of the legislature is problematical. The
house has always favored the parallel,and
the senate has always buried it. A like
result is generally expected at this session
but there are some who think that the
burial will not be so deep as to prevent a
speedy resurrection.
One of that mind, and he is a stock-
holder in the Consolidated reailroad, too,
said yesterday to the writer:
“People may laugh at the story of the
Housatonic preparing to build a depot in
Bridgeport for the parallel. It may be
gossip uttered for a purpose, and it may
be a statement of fact. But that is not the
only indication of a purpose on the part of
the Housatonic—or the New England—to
go ahead whatever the action of the legis-
lature. I have learned that the Housatonic
people have engaged a real estate specialist
for a year to examine the titles to property
needed to be bought for a right of way for
the parallel, and that they llflVCrl‘cqued to
entertain a proposition to release him
from his engagement should the legisla-
ture decide adversely to their interests.
For one, I should not be surprised if the
Housatonic should go ahead, regardless
of any action of the legislature, build
what they can under their charter, and -
then go before‘ the legislature again two
years hence. You know, you can’t build I,
much of a railroad in two years.”
In this connection the following from a
New Haven special to the N cw York Even--
ing Post may be'quoted: “A person who»
is high in the cOunséls of the Consolidated -
company can bo quoted authoritatively as
saying that-'Presment Clark has within the
last few weeks received a number of pro-
positions from the opposingiuterests look-
ing to the consolidation of the rival prop-
erties The implication conveyed by this
person was that the terms of the New
England people were too high to be con-
sidered.” ~

Reports in the papers about Westport
men catching brook trout last week, some V
of which weighed 3 pounds, should be
contradicted, as it is well known that no
Westport fisherman would take a trout
out of the water before the law is ofi.
There is doubt about the weight, too. A
half pound would be nearer the truth.
The gangs of smelt fishermen got into
ajangle and sort’ of tangle last week,
caused by one set of men with their net
rowing inside of the-net set by another
gang, thus capturing the fish the other
fellows had intended for themselves. The
dcnunciatory epithets employed on each
awhile, but quiet was finally restored.
The good quality of Westport smelt re-
mains unimpaired.
Iu San Francisco, recently, a gentleman
formerly of Westport saw a placard
“Saugatuck smelt,” in front of a restaur—
ant. He entered and ordered some, but
the eating convinced him the dealer was
a Yankee who had learned the methods
practiced elsewhere of forcing business
on a fictitious basis, The smelt never
saw Connecticut. The incident shows
how world wide our beautiful river has be-
come.
The committee of the Board of Trade
to whom were assigned the obtaining,
location and placing in position of 50
street lamps for the village and vicinity
are entitled to praise for the very accepta-
ble manner in which they have performed
their duties. Working without pay, their
object being to benefit the public and im-
prove the village they have proceeded in
a way to refute the oftrepcated slur that
there is no enterprise or public spirit in
the town. Some 30 of the lamps have
been lighted nightly since Thursday and
their presence gives the village quite a
city appearance. Twenty-five extra
lamps have been ordered, and when they
are set there will be no dark corners with-
in a radius of half a mile of the centre.
The board'is one of the most popular of
institutions, the membership roll embrac-
ing only good men. At the meeting
Thursday evening the roll vii] be increas-
ed. It is estimated that the cost of oil
for the 75 lamps will' not exceed 1 Cent
per night when the arrangements for
-:handling them are complete. The total
cost will beless than $350. and the town
has not, and will not, be called upon for a
dollar, but will receive the whole business
"sea sort of gratuity. Two instances of
lamps failing to burn all night Saturday
night are reported, but this will be recti-
fied. The next and most important work
of the board will be the construction of
Sidewalks, but the spirit of progress is
such that there is no doubt as complete a
success with the lamps will be met. It is
observed that less than half a dozen large
property—owning citizens, four in number,
to be exact, take no interest in these ef-
forts to set the village ahead, but by their
inaction and silence are pulling the other
way. They are as milestones upon which
moss grows—of no use even to themselves,
unless it be to teach that selfishness of the
kind they largely own is disgusting. Re.
ferring to their action, a wag remarked
when told these parties hadn’t given a
cent to help‘ the lamp pioject, “Guess
they love darkness rather than light (not)
because their deeds are evil."
