EDITORIAL LETTER-
WxsnrNorox, June 18th, 1889.
DEAR Gaza'r'ra z—Tlic dazing horror of
John'stown lras in a measure been recov-
ered from, and now public sympathy here
is awakened to the terrible destitntion,
loss of properly and a number of lives
, along the line of the Potomac and the,
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, from West
Washington to Harper’s Ferry. The canal
is—‘well nigh obliterated for miles and
miles where the swollen Potomac cut out
and swept away its banks, and has left
its former bed filled with its rrrincd locks,
stone bridges and dead animals. It is
estimated that fully two hundred persons,
whose daily living depended on canal
employment, have lost their homes and
everything excepting the clothing they
wore when they made their escape from
the sweeping flood. Money, food and
clothing will be collected at _'once, and a‘
committee sent the entire line of the
devastated district, to distribute the same
‘to the (destitute sufferers. It‘is passing
strange that this city should have hurried
off several train loads of food and clothing
and fifty thousand dollars in money for
the Johnstown stricken ones, while re-
maining in total ignorance of this devasta-
tion and suffering so close to home, and
which for the first time has been revealed
during the past few days. >
The owners of the canal are in_favor of.
abandoning their franchise and :plans are
already suggested for utilizing its right
of way by building a railroad to this city
along its line, but on a higher elevation so
as to escape future freshcts. It is the
principal outlet for the soft Cumberland
coal so largely used in the manufacture
of illuminating gas, in grates and locomo-
tives and stationary engines.
A sax SNlFF.
The President, Secretary Blaine and
Secretary Windom started Saturday
morning down the river on Mr. Wana-
maker’s yacht, “Restless." The party
met at the White House shortly after 10
o’clock, leaving there inathe President’s
carriage at 10.30. A knot of people were
on the White House portion to see them
off. A few minutes later they. were on
the yacht steaming down the Potomac
with a cool breeze to fan their heated
brows. They will probably be home
to-day, arriving here this evening. Before
leaving the White House the President
announced a batch of consular appoint-
ments which will make several gentlemen
haPPY-
sanoa.
The state department announces a sat-
isfactory settlement at Berlin of tho
Samoan difficulties between this country
and Germany, and the news is coupled
with the widely credited rumor that now
the President intends rewarding IIon.
Wm. Walter Phelps, one of the U. S.
commissioners, by appointing him to the
vacant German mission. If this be done
there will be little danger of a failure to ,
confirm on the part of the Senate as in
the case of Murat Halstcd, for the New
Jersey statesman is a general favorite in
and all about congress.
The Washington Star not inappropri-
ately says that when the terms of the
agreement, which has just been signed,
are fully learned there is the strongest
probability that American public Opinion
will be satisfied with the settlement. But
the hesitancy of the state department to
assent to some of the provisions of the
agreement suggests that while the Ameri-
can contention may have .‘bcen generally
sustained, the settlement is not in pre-
cisely the form which lras been desired
by the United States, and warns against
that unduly exalted notion cf what has
been accomplished, to which a substantial
victory will appear only as a disappoint-
nncuh.’
coxNac-rron'r BALLOT REFORM BILL.
The same paper thus expresses itself on
Governor Bulkeley’s veto of our proposed
ballot reform bill: “The tone of news-
paper comment on the failure of the
Connecticut legislature to pass the ballot
reform bill over the governor’s veto, is
dolorous toa degree quite unwarranted
by the facts. The lower house proposed
to amend the measure by limiting its
application to presidential and state elec-
tions, omitting the municipal elections, in
which the procedure threatened to be
cumbersome, and then to pass it over the
veto; but the senate declined to follow
this course on the ground that it would be
irregular to pass “over a veto” a bill
which, in the shape in which it is to be
passed, never was passed. The logic of
the case certainly favors this view. All
the friends of ballot reform have to do, if
they are really in earnest, is to frame a
new bill which shall be free from the
objectionable feature of the one just lost
and pass it without delay. Then the
governor would be powerless to resist the
popular will if he wanted to. The restric-
tion of the law to state and national
elections would not prevent a valuable
test of the proposed electoral reform in
the very cases in which it is most needed.
There may be more force than appears at
afirst glance in the governor’s objection
to the application of this involved method
to municipal elections, where the issues at
stake are better appreciated by the voters,
the candidates are their neighbors, and
there are feWer incentives. to widespread
corruption. At any rate it is better for
the reformers to take what they can get
than to go over to another session empty
handed. ,
A New SENATOR.
The New Hampshire legislature, or
rather the republican majority of that
body, has gladdened all loyal hearts by
the return to the United States senate of
that phenomenally, alert, sagacious, cour-
ageous and manly nran, Wm. E, Chandler.
Mr. Chandler married a daughter of New
Hampshire’s famous senator of years ago,
Hon. John P. Hale, and never has the
Granite state been more ably represented
in congress than by the son—in—law of that
noted father—in-law. All hail! New
Hampshire.
successor: TO run. BABNUM.
The selection of Colonel Brice to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Chairman
Barnum as head of the democratic nation-
al committee is interpreted here as a
decided “lead” for cx-Presidcnt Cleveland
in his well—known aspirations for another
nomination. It is undoubtedly a victory
for the Cleveland or free—trade wing of
that party, but many things are likely to
happen prior to the summer of ’92, and it
is suggested that there are many other
cities as large as Buffalo who may want
their “reform” democratic (f) mayors prrt
in training to run in the great Presiden-
tial race of that year. In one respect
Colonel Brice did a graceful thing in the
appropriate eulogy he pronounced over
his dead predecessor. It recalls an inci-
dent within your correspondcnt’s own
acquaintance with Mr. Barnum, just after
, he succeeded General Ferry in the Senate.
A republican paper had pnblisired an
attack upon Mr. Barnum, making charges
that we knew to be false. Being well
acquainted with the editor whose paper
.had maligned him, and knowing that he
a..-
would gladly pnblislr the truth concern-
inng. Barnum or anyone else, and would
be more than glad to make amends to any
one unjustly assailed in his columns, We
suggested to Mr. Barnum that we would
write said editor and state the facts as we
knew them, and thus secure his merited
vindication. “No, no," said Mr. Barnum,
“don’t do it. I make it a rule never to
deny false charges against me. It isn't
worth the time and bother. It never
worries me to have lies told about "10,
. erlnc street depot.
and denying them only keeps them in
mind. No, no, don’t deny it; guess I can
live it down, and. at all events, it it isn’t
contradicted it will very soon be forgot-
ten." Whilea man extremely sensitive
in'some matters it never seemed to irritate
him in the least when his political adver-
saries assailed him.

Tire Columbian horse railroad here has
commenced to relay its tracks with the
new and improved rails with a simple
groove for the thin flange of the car
wheels to slide in. In European cities no
other rail is permitted for street railways,
as this rail offers-no obstruction and
causes no strain, wrenching or breaking
of carriage wheels and axles. It also
seems that'Mayor Grant, of New York, is
in line with public opinion in the matter
of abolishing the T rail, of wireel wrench-
ing notoriety. He has requested the city’s
attorneys to examine the charters of the
surface railway companies in order to
learn whether they may not be required
to use the grooved rail. In Washington
progress has been accomplished toward
the universal adoption of rails flush with
the pavement by legislation making the
laying of such rails a conditionpf the ‘ use
by the railways of electricity or cables as
a substitute for the horse to furnish motive
power. As a consequence the wealthy
roads are beginning to make and will
continue to make both improvements.
Our friend Hyatt, now that ho is rc-
ought to see to it that not a yard of the
old time T rail is put down upon any new
lines of his street railways, and just as
fast as the present rails wear out on his
old line he should replace them with the
new level surfaced grooved ones. This
much the public, which yields its valuable
street franchises, and usually for nothing
in return but the obligation to furnish
its citizens, has a right to demand. We
have heard the damage done vehicles in
the horse car tracks between the bridge
and South Norwalk is estimated at $10,000
a year. It is certainly very large, and all
this loss, whatever its total, can be saved
by the use'of the improved rail.-

While the President and his Secretaries
of State were having a bit of salt sea
sailing in the Postmaster-General’s yacht,
the President’s wife and family were
enjoying life at Mr. Wanamaker’s shore
cottage at Cape May. They all deserve
the rest and respite, and may all of them
return greatly invigorated by the sea
breezes.
Rev. Dr. Noble is to preach his last
sermon here on the 80th inst., so that his
occupancy of the First Congregational
church pulpit, in Norwalk, will be on
Sunday, July 7th. He and Mrs. Noble
will remain in Norwalk during July and
August, and will make many warm and
sincere friends there as they have here and
do everywhere.
The resident republicans here from our
state have just reorganized a new Connec-
ticut Republican Association of the District
of Columbia,with the following officers and
committees: 0. S. Sanford, president;
0. S. Firmin, first vice-president; E. R.
Tyler, second vice-president; Alvan T.

Colonel Ayres in Kansas City Times:
The fellows who are vainly trying to find
out what President Harrison thinks are in
the sanre dilemma in which, according to
the narrative, the late Geo. D. Prentice,
the distinguished editor of the Louisville
Journal, once found himself. Mr. Pren-
tice, who was afflicted with pen paralysis,
was obliged to dictate his editorials to an
amarurensis. On one occasion, being
desirous of editorializing on General Grant
and his campaigns, he started out by say-
ing: “Grant thinks," and then came to a
pause. “Got that down," asked Mr.
Prentice. ”Yes, sir,” replied the amanu-
ensis. “Grant thinks," repeated Mr.
Prentice, and then followed a longer
pause with the second inquiry of “got
that down?” Again the amanuensis re-
plied' affirmatively. Fifteen minutes
elapsed, Mr. Prentice meanwhile burying
his head in his hands, and yet the editorial
had progressed nofurther than the first
two words, the amanuensis impatiently
awaiting the context. Finally the veteran
editor slowly repeated, “Grant thinks,”
hesitated for a few moments and then in
despairing accents cried out: “Can’t you
or somebody else tell me what in God’s
name Grant does think!” Failing to
obtain the desired information Mr. Pren—
tice abandoned further labor on that
editorial. ‘

To walk through upper Main street
(“Pudding Lane”)—socallcd, tradition tells
us, because years ago an old Indian squaw-
went from house to house on that street
selling beads and other trinkets, just at
dinner time, and at every house she found
the inmates eating pudding and milk——
one would hardly recognize in it the
street of fifteen or twenty years . ago.
Time has wrought many changes, and
great ones. In place of the ancient dwell-
ings and shops which were located on
either side of the street, are now hand—
some and costly residences which add
greatly to the appearance of the beautiful
street. Then there are such modern im-
provements as the water works, electric
light, street railway, sewer system and
graded and paved sidewalks, , while close
by is the convenient and much used Cath-

there almost three quarters of a century
ago by Deacon Lewis Whitney, long since
dead. There: have! passed away during
this time many old and honored residents
of 'this locality and new and strange faces
have taken their] places. Among those
who have died in this time are, William
Godfrey, John Nash and his brother Wil—
Hewes, William St. John, James Wise-
man, Bradley 0. Banks, Dr. Ira Gregory,
father of our popular Dr. James G. Greg-
ory, William L. Quinta‘rd, Dr. Brown,
Mathias Hubbell and Lorenzo Hubbell,
John A. 'Weed, Deacon Charles Lock—
wood, Dr. Moses Hill and Captain Lamb.
I believe that every one of these good old
men had lived longer than" their allotted
three score years and] ten, and when they
died were ready for the end. There used,
to be a bridge over the Danbury & Nor—
walk truck near where the foot of Sum—
mer street now is, over which Dr. Greg
ory drove his cows to pasture in the Am--
pitireatre grounds, and I remember when,
as a little boy, the good old doctor would
pickme up and place me on a cow's back,
and hold on to me lest I fall off, and let
me ride until I came to that bridge, when
he would help me to alight, because uoth—:
ing under the sun would induce me .to
ride the cow across that bridge. The
bridge-has long since disappeared, West

Editorial Notes.
Mr. Randall is hopeful of the passage of
at'arifl bill by' the next congress. He
says: ”1 think the probabilities are that
a tariff bill will be passed, which ‘I hope
will be satisfactory to the businsss and
manufacturing interests of the country,
and which will promote stability. That
is what the manufacturing interests,
especially in the south, need most now—-
stability. In my opinion it 'is a good
thing for the country that the majority of
the next house will hold control by such a
narrow margin, and tend to result,
through necessary compromises, in better
legislation than would be~ produced
it either side had an Overwhelming ma—
jority. In other words the meagre ma-
jority will insure, I believe, a conserva—
tive enactment not over protective nor
even highly protective, birt sufficient to
protect the labor of the United States
from the lower wages of Europe. This is
as far as we need go. or course, I favor
the immediate repeal, as far as possible,
of the internal revenue laws, looking ulti-
«mately to their total abrogation.” Mr.
Randall agrees with a great many repub-
licans.
Mr. Brice, in a word, represents the
power of boodle in a political campaign.
His success has been that of a money-
maker. In a boodle campaign the re-
publicans will win every time if they are
fought on their own plane and with their
own weapons. The democracy can only
succeed as the open and determined foe
of boodle in all its forms, whether used in
buying nominations, in bribing voters, in
protecting selfish interests in congress or
in building up and maintaining monopo-
lies. To pit a Brice against a Quay is to
reject the aid of a moral idea and to match
a greenhorn in politics with ‘a veteran.
Senator Dawes has very neatly snubbed
some members of the Massachusetts Ques-
tion Clubs, societies which seem to have'
been formed for the purpose of making it
as warm as possible for public ofileers.
Senator Dawes, in acknowledging the
receipt, in one envelope, of twenty—two
slips containing the same seven printed
questions each signed by five gentlemen
residing in different parts of Massachu-
setts, and asking his views on duties on
smoked herring, potatoes, coal, etc., exi-
presscd his mortification that during the
fifteen years iii which he had been en-
deavoring to expound the principles
which would determine his answer, he
had not succeeded in attracting the atten-
tion of these:“very intelligent gentlemen.”
He promised to make a further effort in
due time, and added: These gentlemen
inform me that they “shall put questions
to me from time to time.” This is com-
mendable, and they are entitled to a
respectful answer, which they shall have
at all times from "me. But you can in-
form thcm that it will not be necessary for
them to be at the labor or expense of
multiplying their questions twenty times
as in this instance, or of “procuring five
hundred names,” for a note from any one
of them upon any question of public con.-
cern will receive a prompt reply.
Democrats and republicans are now
speaking highly of Theodore Roosevelt,
the United States Civil Service Commis-
sioner, who is determined to make him-
self felt in the administration of the
Chinese statutes. They are greatly pleased
at Mr. Roosevelt’s determinations to have
the statutes enforced, and even expanded
and carried out in spirit and letter.
These far seeing democrats and republi-
cans are convinced that Mr. Roosevelt’s
course is the very one that will make the
statutes so offensive and objectionable
that by the time the national conventions
come around in ’92 the party platforms
will spurn them as flapdoodle and con-
trary to American ideas. The statesmen
have had keen eyes on Mr. Roosevelt, and
are nrore than ever convinced of the truth
of General Grant’s aphorism, “the only
way to repeal a bad law is to enforce it."

New Haven has contributed several

the spirit of charity seems about dead.
The Elks came forward promptly with a
donation of $100, and to‘ this a few gifts
have been added, but the committee ap-
pointed by the Board of Trade and citizens
has done nothing. This is not as it should
be. Hartford is one of the richest cities
in the country and a handsome sum
should have been sent from here.”

and 212, 146, 179 and 197 in the corres-
ponding weeks of 1888, 1887, 1886 and
1885 respectively. The total number of
failures in the United States January 1 to

States and 24 for Canada, a total of 250
as compared with 225 on the previous

thought that they would have been wiser
to plead guilty and procure from the court
the lightest sentence warranted by their

if not impossible for them to show that
they did not violate the statute requiring
permission to be granted for an autopsy,

4 RANDOM RAMBLINGS.
~ BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBIJiR.
Who was the old philosopher who
wanted to “take off his flesh and sit in his
bones ?" The sultry weather we have been
experiencing of late is well calculated to
impress us with the yearning for the sen-
sation of relief suggested in that absurd
proposition. Even the individual who
has been anxiously hankering for warm
weather, is' not happy. Like the old
Indian, he’s “got his damn satisfy."
O t It
Mysister has made her lrushand good
natured again. He has been grouty and
sorrr ever since the legislature, as he says,
“sat down so heavily on theparaiici.”
From the soreness and irritability be
manifested after the wise men in the east
figuratively assumed that attitude of re-
pose, one would naturally lrave thought
my sister’s husband was under the parallel
when they sat down and that they
plumped themselves down on it with a
thud, all at the same time. However, as
I have. remarked, he is good natured
again, and smiles as of yore, and all
because my sister, last week, presented
him with another baby—a red faced,
squalling boy baby with a very large head
and capacious and durable lungs, whose
constant and vociferous demonstrations of
grief would seem to suggest that he, too,
was interested in the parallel that was sat
upon.

service regularly.

ment come to an end, now that asmall
band of surviving veterans have, of their
own accord and at their own expense,
procured a little stone and statue to mark
the resting plaCe of a handful of theirdead
comrades whose memory they hold dear?
Let us hope not. Rather let us trust that
the example of these survivors will spur
our people on to increased energy and a
patriotic determination to secure. the
erection, on a public spot. of a monument
which shall be at once the pride of our
town, the admiration of others, and an
inspiration to those who come after us.

“Afterla storm comes a calm” and a

To The Medical Profession.
Superintendent of the Census, Robert.
P. Porter, has issued the following sug-
gestion to the medical fraternity, which,
it acted upon will greatly facilitate the
work of securing an accurate census re-
port in 1890, a consummation most desira-
ble for obvious reasons:
Tire various medical associations and
the medical profession will be glad to
learn that Dr. John S. Billing, Surgeon U.
S. Army, has consented to take charge of
the report on the mortality and vital statis-
tics of the United States as returned by
the eleventh census.
As the United States has no system of
registration of vital statistics, such as is
relied upon by other civilized nations for
the purpose of ascertaining the actual
movement of population, our census af-
fords the only opportunity of obtaining
year an approximate estimate of the birth
and death rates of much the larger part of
the country, which is entirely unprovidcd
with any satisfactory system of state and
municipal registration.
In view of this, the census office, during
the month of May, this year, will issue to
the ‘ medical profession throughout the
country "Physicians’ Registers” for the
purpose of obtaining more accurate
returns of deaths than it is possible for the
enumerators to make. It is earnestly
hoped that physicians in every part of the
country will earnestly co-operate with
the census ofiice in this important work.
The record should be kept from June 1,
1889, to May 31, 1890. Nearly 26,000 of
these registration books were filled up and
returned to the office in 1880, and- nearly
all of them used for- statistical purposes.
It is hoped that dorrble this number will
be obtained for the eleventh census.
Physicians not receiving registers can
obtain them by sending their names and
addresses to the Census Office, and, with
the register, an official envelope which
requires no stamp, will be provided for
their return to Washington.
If all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend'their aid,
the mortality and vital statistics of the
eleventh census will be more comprehen-
sive and complete than they have ever
been. Every physician should take a
personal pride in having this report as full
and accurate as it is possible to make it.
It is hereby.promised that all informa—
tion obtained through this source shall be
held strictly confidential. -

Eating Strawberries.
In the first place do not eat them with
cream; butter and marrow bone were as
flt accompaniment. Water, with a little
sugar, according to the sharpness of the
fruit, yields the true unobscured tang of
the strawberry, which cream only con-
fuses, and with an alien flavor, which
affects a taste just as a correct ear is
affected by half tones struck together up.
on a pianoforte. The very height of
strawberry eating is with coffee. Nobody
ever really tasted coffee who has not
drank it in alternate mouthfuls with
strawberries, and nobody has known the
strawberry flavor excepting immediately
after the clearing of the taste which comes
from drinking coffee. Tire clearing
property of coffee is familiar enough, but
there is strange ignorance of. this special
application of it. Tire best of strawberries
with the best of coffee make the supreme
refinement of indulgence in tho frrrit.

A Trip 0 the Lightning Express!
The throu .I’ittsfield and New York
express trai , do move. And all within
them move. )n Tuesday last John Wade
andaGazE reporter, with a view to
ascertaining y actual experience. “how
the old thing orks” over the new route,
boarded the express train at South Nor-
walk fora tr' 1 trip to New Milford and
return. Conductor Sid Spencer gave the
Signal,Engin chrris pulled the throt-
tle, Fireman itlr jabbed the fire viciously
with a crook ramrod, and off went' the
lightning 0. new with a jump. The
reporters ha hardly got settled in their
pews before zipl" the train shot in at one
end and out tthe other of the 500 foot
tunnel at tli borough, darkening the cars
about as ion as it would take one to
wink. Wad clutcired the seat firmly
with both 11 ads, arid shouted between
his clenched icetir, “I like this very
nicely.” Ju t then the fair ground build-
ings and the Winnipauk station, which
are generall .aborrt a mile apart, went
whizzing pait at the same instant. Tire
train was no in full motion and Wade
remarked thiit the mile posts looked like
a fine tooth c‘omb. He rose from his seat
to go forward and watch the engineer just
as the train struck a crrrve, and instead of
reaching tlicjfront door of the car, ire
brought up her-plank! in a seat six rows
behind where he started from, and here
he remained until Conductor Spencer
came through with his sea-legs on and es-
corted him to the front. The other re-
porter waited till the train struck the
straight. line at Bedding, then went for-
ward too, to explain to Wade the workings
of the locomotive from the car window,
through which they :could see Engineer
, Ferris sitting comfortably on his cushioned
bench, bobbing up and down like a danc
ing jack, ”occasionally twisting a cork-
screw on the water gauge, pulling out a stop
for crescendo, pushing in another for dim-
inuendo, " jerking the footer every few
seconds, and constantly peering ahead.
Superintendent Payne was on board the
train, and walked back and forth through
all the ears as if he enjoyed it. At Bethe]
the switcheshad been set and the train
went around the long curve thronglr the
town while the natives Stood aghast and
marveled. Here the Hawleyville branch,
practically an extension of the Shepaug,
was under the wheels, the crookedest,
wildest, roughest six mile stretch in the
entire run. Over this branch the train
jumped like a hunted deer, putting
behind her the crooks and the hills and
the rain storm that ran against lrer here,
with a rush irresistible. Occasionally she
would strike an interrogation point that
would head the engine toward the tail end
of the train. At certain points on this
branch the cracks and curls are so thick
and so short that it has been said a'train
actually haste pass a spot three times be-
fore it gets by. The branch was swallowed
up in a few minutes and after striking the
main line , at Hawleyville, which is
reached by a curve from the Shepaug that
describes a half circle and seems to turn a
north bound train completely around and
send it back parallel with its own route,
the train dashed past the stations of Brook-
fleld Junction and Brookfield, and over~
took and ran through the same rain Storm
that‘ran against it on the branch. At New
Milford, the first stop after leaving South
Norwalk, the reporters got off, called at
the New Milford Gazette ofllce and found
that Editor Bolles had gone with book and
line to Warnmaug in pursuit of some fish'
stories for his next issue, leaving Joe Far-
rally in charge of thereligious department.
Senator “Nick” Starib, a new and good
Elk, by the by, was also “found out," and
Commander “Dave" Scale was away try-
ing to jigger some of those persecuted
farmers out of a crop of tobacco. A num-
ber of other prominent citizens were out
of town, leaving Dr. Battam and Attorney
Addis to run the village, which they did .
inbecomingstyle. After an hour’s sojourn
in New Milford the visitors boarded the
return express, which was run by Conduct-
.-_. rrcv—n-vm’.- - n us: as: ‘* 1varnrugtm‘nrrrrrr
line” under the tutelage of Conductor Sam.
Arnold. The return trip was made as
quickly as the other, and by a unanimous
vote it was decided to approve of the new
express trains and allow them to run all
summer without protest.
IVE'W PUBLICATIONS.
“The Quaker Housekeeping” letters by
Aunt Rachel Macy that are running in
Good Housekeeping are among its most
interesting and instructive features. Tire
number for June 22, contains one describ-
ingaQuaker wedding and giving some
fine, old recipes for wedding-cake and
other things.
“The Temperance Question in India,” a
matter which is now before the British
Parliament, will be" treated by Bishop
Hurst, of the Methodist church, in the
July Century. It is stated that the intoxi-
eating liquor furnished to the natives of
India by the government is called by them
“Apka Shrab," or “Government Shame
Water,” and that it is supplied at the very
reasonable rate of four cents a bottle.
Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly for July
has a pictures no and well illustrated
article, entitled “ nto Oklahoma with the
Boomers,” giving mnch interesting infor—
mation about the settlement of the prom—
ised land, as well as of the adjoining
Cherokee strip. “The Samoa Cyclone”
vividly depicts the great naval calamity
of last March, which has been compared
to the historic destruction of the Spanish
Armada. Another notable contribution
to this number is the account of the ascent
of Mount Ararat, the Biblical “Noah’s
Mountain,” by the Russian Imperial Geo-
graphical Commission, whose notes and
photographs were special! secured for
Frank Leslie’s Po ular onthly. “The
Dynamo” is a time y apopular science arti-
cle. The biographic and natural history
papers, sketches of travel, short stories,
poems, etc., are numerous and excellent.
——Ginn & Co. are about to publish “A
School Iliad with vocabulary,” edited by
Prof. T.=D. Stevens. The introduction
presents, in brief but systematic form, the
most important facts regarding Homeric
life, the Homeric poems, Homeric style,
syntax, dialect, and verse. The commem- -
tarry is adapted to the wants of beginners
in Homer. The notes are copious for the
first three books. They are less copious
for books IV.-VI., but the commentary on
book VI., is fuller than that on book IV.-
~V. The vocabulary is illustrated with
more. than twenty wood :euts, most of
which .are new in this country.' They
