It. .Associatii __ l Charleston, a few years ago, was sad y shaken by an earthquake that caused reat damage and called out the sym— pathy and help of the people of all sections. It was a terrible calamity, but was not without many compensations. The re- markable trial, however, of Dr. McDow, for killing the too impetupus and chivalric Capt. Dawson,and the still more remark— able acquittal and the eVident local en- thusiasm over the woold—be seducer and actual homicide. disclose a condition of society in the old nest of treason and a de- moralization of public sentiment, that would incline most good men and women to feel that an earthquake that would ingulf in unexplorable depths Dr. McDow and all his Charleston admirers and friends would be an unmitigated blessmg and a urifier of the moral atmosphere of South ' lai'olina.-—Mail and Express. .—-—————-——".OQ————‘-"‘— The old state house, which has long bceli a bone of contention between those who wish to preserve the ancient structure and those who wish to tear the old weather-beaten and crumbling piece of architecture down, will have to succumb to the inevitable. Judge Fenn has just decided to lay aside the temporary injunc- tion restraining the city from demolishing it. As the people of New York are culti. vating a taste for ancient things we sug- gest that the old state house be sold to them as “Solomon’s temple,” to be placed in Central Park, and the money obtained for it to be used in the erection of a menu. ment to the late legislature. According to Dixie, an industrial paper published in Atlanta, since 1880 real es- tate values in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, Arkansas, Florida, North Car- olina and South Carolina have increased $794,914,992. In the same period the number of schools in these eight states has increased 14,861, making the present total 50,279. During this time 11,273,577 acres have been added to the area of till- able land. - AA Michigan, 1: state with a Republican Governor, and a Legislature Republican by a vote of 24 to 8 in the Senate and 71 to 30 in- the House, has just enacted a $500 high license and local option law, and a ballot reform law. J oliet town, Illinois, in the Republican county of Will, has fixed the saloon license fee at $1,000. High license and ballet reform are coming all along the Republican line. .._._—_—.—--—.-.- The Persian Minister at Washington, Mr. Hadje Hassein Li‘s-ooly Khan, has severed his diplomatic relations with the U. S. Government and will return to Persia. He was offended because he thought American newspapers used his name flippantly. Hadje must be mistaken. American newspapers are intrepid and daring, but hardly bold enough to monkey with a name like his. ,—————-—"’.OO-——~ Last year our democratic brethren were in a painful state of mind over the accu- mulation of a big surplus in the national treasury. This year they are frightened almost to death because they fear that Commissioner Tanner will do something to decrease that very same surplus. It is to be feared that our democratic brethren ai'e'vcry hard to suit. Lawyers are tough. The woman who died at Pomona. California. afew weeks since, having had Six husbands, selected each one from a different profession. The first was a teacher, the second a pork packer, the third an army officer, the fourth a preacher. the fifth a sugar planter, and the sixth a lawyer, who survives her. ———-———09 Democratic papers grow facetious over the fact that, although Mr. Blaine has been in office three months, there is no sign of a war cloud yet. The ability and disposition to defend one’s self has kept many a man out of trouble, and it is the same way with nations. Dr. Daniel Dorchester, who has recent— ly been appointed by President Harrison as superintendent of Indian schools, was nearly forty years ago a. conference preacher in Windham county. and while located at Eastford, served a term in the state senate. 0.. It is estimated at the Treasury depart- ment.that there has been adecrease of about $15,500,000 in the public debt since June 1. This will make the debt reduction for the fiscal year ending June 30, $88,182 200. .0. The shock Grover Cleveland received when thrown from a carriage on Wednes- day did not compare with that received when he was hurled from his chariot in the presidential race last November. It is now thought that the loss of life at Johnstown will not exceed 4,000 ; up to date the prOperty losses reported amount to $5,000,000. The Yale and Harvard base ball nines have gone to England to interest the col— lege boys over there in something besides cricket. It would be a great victory for civiliza- tion if a prize fighter who had killed his man should be convicted of murder and banged. About 5,000 people have received rail- road passes to leave Johnstown. Some of them have been sent as far as New Mexico . President and Mrs. Harrison will be the guests of Secretary and Mrs. Blaine at Bar Harbor during the last week in July. . late legislative session. That License Bill. A paragraph it being widely circulated bill passed during the last two;days‘of‘th’e We are informed on good authority that 'no» such '- measure was reported to cith‘er'house by the Com— mittee on Temperance. Such a bill was considered by that committee and unani- mously rejected. The bill which failed of the signature of the Governor, provided —that a full license forthe sale of all kinds of intoxicants should not be less than three, nor more than five hundred dollars. The present law reads, less than one and more than three hundred dollars. It also proposed to change the present law by raising the minimum price for beer license from fifty to one hundred dollars, and also make all druggist’s license for compound- ing liquor with medicine, twelve dollars, and for the sale of intoxicants in quantities of less than one gallon and not to be drunk on the premises, at fifty dollars. Also forbidding county commissioners to grant licenses to druggists to sell to he drank on the premises, which under the present law is permitted. And further, itrepealed the present statute discriminating in the price of liquor, beer or druggist’s license, in favor of towns of less than three thous— and population. On reporting this bill favorably to the House, the chairman stated that for each and all of the changes proposed in it, conclusive testimony had been given the committee. The measure passed in both branches of the Assembly by large majorities, and reached the Gov— ernor one day before final adjournment. This measure was strongly advocated by the county commissioners, and other officers, whose duty it is to properly en— force the present local option law. V‘ Av * Our Contemporaries. Fritz’s “Echoes" will reverberate in the Republican again hereafter. Good. There was a refreshing individuality about them that caused them to be sought for, the first thing on opening the paper. J. H. Whiting, late of the Seymour Times, and W. J. Whitaker, have pur- chased the Gardner, (Mass.) Journal, a neat looking and bright paper. Mr. Whit- ing has many‘friends in Connecticut who will be disappointed in him if he doesn’t make his new venture one of the best country papers in the Bay State, as his work in Seymour demonstrated his ability to do. The Republican’s new proprietor, John Irving Romer, has made some appreciable changes in the style and make-up of his paper. It has dropped the word “Con— necticut” from its heading, and is now simply the South Norwalk Republican with “its scope of vision centered at South Norwalk and the immediate vicinity.” We wish it great success. The Rockville Journal considers Editor Hale, cf the East Hartford Gazette, “a lucky editor. He owns a $1,000 trotter. He can play a comet to perfection.” The Portland Record came outlast week without a snake story to its back. The Westporter appeared last week en- larged to seven columns. Editor Jones is to be congratulated on this improvement. The Westporter is a bright little paper, and as the “official organ of the Conn. Fire- men’s Association,” it squirts its “nozzle sprays” impartially for all the fire com- panies in the state. ' There is in the employ" of the Bridge— port Standard a compositor who has served in the same office for 36 years. His hame is George R. Stowell. 4AA fivr A Liquor License is a Tax. A liquor license is not a contract, ac- cording to the Supreme Court of Indiana, but a Special tax. The decision is of great interest and significance to Prohibitionists, for it knocks on the head with the arm of the law, their chief objection to support— ing high license as a means to the sup- pression 'of the rum power—the claim that a license of any kind is a recognition of the moral rights of the traffic and a bargain or compromise with Sin. Here is the language of the Court: The grant of a license would not pre- clude action by the municipal authorities, for a license is not a contract. The li- ccnse maybe changed or even annulled by the supreme legislative power of the State whenever public welfare demands it. ,‘A license is a restrictive special tax imposed for the public good, and in the exercise of the police power of. the State. —-—-<+>——-———- - Mt. Desert. The syndicate owning the northeast portion of Sutton’s Island, near Bar Har— bor, Mt. Desert, Maine, has sold a lot of five acres, including the fine bare head- land opposite Seal Harbor, to Mr. William Burnham of the Standard Steel Works, Philadelphia. Wm. A. Woodworth cf White Plains, New York, and Prof. Waldo S. Pratt'of the Theological University, Hartford, have recently purchased another fine headland on this property. There are several of these prominent and attract- ive headlands which will be sold only to the right parties. It is surprising how the choicer cottage sites on Mt. Desert Island are booming. '7 Sold. at 30 l stock were advertised, in last week’s GAZETTE as for sale at 130. The paper had not been out an hour before offers began to pour in from all directions. One bid came from the Stamford Savings Bank, another from New York City and several from Norwalk and vicinity. If we mistake not this is the highest figure ever reached by any Norwalk Bank and while it shows a high appreciation of the stock of this bank, it also proves that the old GAZETTE is a good newspaper to advertise in. by the press, to the effect that Governor, Bulkeley has pocket—vetoed a high. license , Ten shares of the Central National Bank. .35 N DOM RAMBLINGS. ,ngppsiig: ROWE, our: RANDOM EAMBLEE. What sultry weather we the getting! ’And how much of it we are getting! These be the days when we, the daughters of Eve, look back with envy to the one advantage enjoyed by our much abused first mother, of the utter freedom from the tyrannical conventionalities of society in the matter of dress and fashion. How- ever, we find a certain relief in that un- justly proscribed and luxurious horror, the Mother Hubbard. Blest be the phil- osopher who made the first one! Arraycd in this shapcless and shameless embodi— ment ofieomfort and physical freedom, through whose lazy looseuess we feel the welcome breezes that temper the oppress- ive heat, we languidly 1011 about in hammock or rustic bench, or on the sward beneath the grateful shadow of an oak, and snap our fingers at the prinking prudes who gird themselves about with leathern armor and fence themselves close in strips of steel to earn by painful and suffocating penance a worthless absolu- tion from the frown and displeasure of conventional society. A fig for conven- tional society on a hot day, say I in my Mother Hubbard. * It * When my sister’s husband read the “Ramblings” in the last GAZETTE he sneered and said to me: “Rosie, you are getting sillier and foolisher every day you live. Woman-like, you never know when to quit, and you are too prone to fly off the handle. You slop over. Now this mess about the police and the corner loafers is simplyjargon. I never told you the police were partial in their efforts to enforce the by-law against loafing. What 1 did say was that they should be instruct- ed in the matter so distinctly and unmis- takably by the borough authorities that in rigidly enforcing it they would not seem to be partial.” That may be very differ- ent, but I must confess I can’t see it. Presumably my critical and discriminating brother-in-law doesn’t 'object to partiality so long as it doesn’t seems like partiality. He virtually owns up that he told the truth, but pleads that he didn’t mean to. II! t it Why don’t our public servants keep those beer kegs off the sidewalks ? They are neither ornamental, useful nor neces- sary fixtures to the public promenades, significant though they may be as an evidence of the guzzling capacity of our guzzlers. . I) t is What a remarkable era of common sense has dawned this season in the mat- ter of masculine attire. In‘efer to the new custom, amounting almost to a mania, of wearing flannel shirts. The flannel shirt is the masculine Mother Hubbard, audits general adoption by our society men bespeaks an intellectual awakening on the part of our lords and masters that is encouraging. . 1. II Whats statesmanlikc move it was to extend the time for closing up the salbons to 11.45 o’clock. This broad-minded de- parture will undoubtedly command the gratitude of the insatiable night—hawk, who feels the need of a few more drinks before going home, but it seems hardly a blessing to the poor overworked keeper who must be on duty from five o’clock in the morning until midnight. -II ‘ t The change in the form of the GAZETTE is a vast improvement, but the print of the copy I received last week was miser— able. It is a matter of wonder to me that the paper was not turned into an eight- page sheet long ago. SI * it As I expected, the night preceding the fourth was made hideous and life was made a horrid nightmare by the big and little hoodlums whose patriotism inspired them to all manner of mischief and depre- dation. The law prohibiting the nuisance from sunset on the third till four o’clock on the morning of the fourth, seems :to have been construed as‘ an invitation to commit the very deviltry it is calculated to forbid, and I am told no eflfort was made to stop it, although the police force was increased for the occasion. . t It Now that the fight between the two most brutal brutes in the country is over, let us the we may read some legitimate news in our morning papers. The sickish stuff we have had thrust before us in column after column of latejconcerning the preparations for the barbarous exhi— bition and the condition and coarse boasts of the brutes who were to hammer each other, is creditable neither to the enlight- ening ambition of metropolitan journalism nor the morbid public taste that demands it. C It Mr. Hyatt—Dear Sir :———If you are con- sidering the matter of adding an open car or two to the horse railway service you contemplate an acquisition for which gen- erations yet unborn will rise up and call you blessed. It It . ll 1 The alarming number of incendiary fires in Danbury suggests the proposition that possibly the fire-bug who operated so assiduously and so successfully in Nor- walk a few months ago, has taken up his abOde in the town of beans. Let us hope he will soon find his sphere in Wethers- field. ‘ I * What a beautiful town we live in. And how little we appreciate its loveliness until it is, pointed out and rapturously .eulogized by the stranger within our gates. Our handsome, shaded avenues, lovely drives, elegant residences and I,cliarming views are matters, of remark for all who come to visit us. If only that much talked of family hotel were an accomplished fact, how lively and brilliant V might our summer seasons be, with the influx of city people who would inevitably spend the heated term here. ‘ t ‘ SI We don’t hear much about Roton Point this season. Is that romantic and attrac- tibe spot losing its charm ? Or do the excursion parties come and go as of yore ? It should be booming. How it Shakes Them. How do you likeit ?—NOB.WALK GAZETTE. Gocd. We think your new makeup is a great improvement over your old “blanket” style. May you live to be a thousand years old and always prosper. The writer took his first lessons in news- paper work on the old GAZETTE and is always pleased to see and note the pros- perity and progress of his old friend.— Bridgeport Post. The Waterbury American comes out as a handsome eight page paper, and the spicy Norwalk GAZETTE assumes the same form. They are both excellent papers and the only fault of the GAZETTE is that it does not come out often enought.-— Bridgeport Standard. And now the Norwalk GAZETTE (estab- lished 1800) changes this week to an eight page paper and is the same size as the American. The blanket folios must go, and the good old GAZETTE is as wise as the rest of us in making the change.— Waterbury American. The old standby, the Norwalk GAZETTE comes out this week in eight page form and of course with an entirely new make- up. The GAZETTE is 89 years old, but is as active, energetic and alert as its young- er contemporaries. James H. Herdman has been added to the editorial staff. Success to the old GAZETTE. It deserves it.——Bridgeport News. The GAZETTE comes out to-day in eight page form and new make-up, in fact so changed that it has lost all resemblance to its former self. The form is that which has come to be considered the proper one. The GAZETTE asks “How do you like it ?” For ourselves we answer,first rate, and we think this will be the answer of all its readers. We are glad to see Norwalk’s pioneer journal in such good form, and wish it great prosperity.—Sentinel. The Norwalk GAZETTE has become an eight page paper. Mr. Rodemeyer hav— ing disposed of the Record, will give more time to the GAZETTE. He will be assisted by Mr. Herd man, recently of New Haven. -—Hartford Gourant. The GAZETTE came out this week as an eight page paper and otherwise improved. The change will be appreciated by the GAZETTE’s readers—Record. Another of our esteemed contemporaries which has found its growth retarded by its shape is the Norwalk GAZETTE. This veteran is late in changing. When a man’s heard is full grown and heavy in appearance it isn’t often that he shaves it off and puts on the airs of juvenility. When he does it means that he has been rejuvenated and has grown young again. This is what the GAZETTE has done, and it is to be congratulated on its improved appearance.—A nsonia Sentinel. The Norwalk GAZETTE has “got onto” the fashion and appeared this week in eight page form. She keeps up to the times remarkably well for an old maid of nearly ninety—Dunbar}; Register. The good old Norwalk GAZETTE goes into line with the “8 page” papers this week, in the 90th year of its age. May its columns never be shortened—New Brit- ain Record. The old Norwalk GAZETTE came to us this week in a new uniform, having been changed from a folio to a quarto form. Brother Rodemeyer (finding it a diflicult task, to ride two horses at the same time) has disposed of his Record to Mr. Allen G. Betts, who is the business manager of the GAZETTE, with which paper he has been connected continuously for the past 30 years.— Westporter. The GAZETTE appeared in its new vol nminous eight page dress the first time this week. The old lady looks quite young and as highly respectable as even—Jour— nal. . The Norwalk GAZETTE comes out in 8 page form, a change that is a vast im- provement.rRepublican. AegeTnVed. Rev. Charles M. Selleck, who has already unselfishly devoted all the best days of his adult life to the welfare of St. Paul’s, has finally unconditionally accept— ed the unanimous call to become its settled rector, lately extended him by that church and parish. He is to employ a duly qualified assistant rector to aid him in his laborious and extended parochial duties. ———-————-—<+>——-————~ The following are the readjustments of the salaries of postmasters for Connecti- cut : Ansonia, $2,400 to $2,300; Bethel, $1,200 to $1,300; Birmingham, $2,300 to $2,400; Bridgeport, $3,100 $3,200; Clintonville, $1,100_to $1,600; Colchester, $1,000 to $1,200; Deep River, $1,300 to $3,100; East Haddam, $1,200 to fourth class; East Hampton, $1,000 to fourth class Essex, $1,900 to $1,200; Greenwich, $1,- 700,to $1900; Hartford, $3,400 to $8,500 ; ' Meriden, $2,800 to $2,900; New Hartford, $1,000 to $1,100; Northford, $1,900 to $1,800 ; Norwich. $2,000 to $2,200; Sey- mour, $1,400 to $1500; Southington, $1,- 500 to $1,600 ; South Norwalk, $2,300 to $2,200; Stafford Springs $1,500 to $1,- 400; Suflolk, $1,000 to fourth class; Thomaston $1,600 to $1,500; Torrington, $1.700 to $1,800; Unionvil'le, $1,000 to $1,300; Wallingford, $2,200 to $2,100; Waterbury, $2,800 to $2,900: West Win- sted, $1,600 to $1,700; Willimautic, $2,200 to $2,300 Windsor Locks, $1,300 to $1,400; Winsted Locks, $1,800 to $1,900.

Among the many other_ good things enjoyed at the closing exercises at Miss Baird’s school this year were the following two original pieces of poetry. The one upon “Summer” was composed by Miss Agnes Ross Gibbs, of Norwalk, Conn., and the other with “Clouds” for its sub- ject was by Miss Nellie Cecil James, of New York: SUMMER. Summer, summer, happy summer, Gladness doth thy coming bring; Pleasures, too, that far out number All the lesser joys of spring : Welcome Summer, Happy summer, Myriad birds in chorus sing. Summer, summer, idle summer, Through the woods we love to stray, Listening to the stream’s soft murmur As it ripples on its way; Welcome summer, Idle summer, Every brooklet seems to say. Summer, summer, busy summer, See the reaper with his blade, Hear the bees’ low hum and murmur, * Gathering honey from the glade ; Welcome summer, Busy summer, Weary reaper, seek the shade. Summer, summer, fragrant summer, Fairest flowers their perfume shed. Roses bloom and, sweetly under, The modest violet lifts its head ; “Welcome summer, “Fragrant summer,” Lilies call from out their bed. Summer, summer, fleeting summer, Ah, how soon thy joys are past, Winged flowers, swift fled, I wonder Were ye all too sweet to last? Farewell summer, Fleeting summer, Now, alas. thou’rt fading fast. CLOUDS. Who loves not to lie in the rustling grass, Gazing above at the boundless sky. Watching the different clouds as they pass, Seeing them gather and form and die? Who has not formed of these fleecy clouds Cities and castles and flocks and herds, Wonderful faces, fantastic shapes, Great sea monsters and flying birds ? The scene ever changes ’ere I can scarce think, The pictures before me fade quite from my sight, Giving places to other ones different by far, And still quite as joyful, as happy and bright. When traveling afar to the realms of thought, On the wings of fancy I take my flight To a world where nothing is dull or tame, But all is pervaded With glory and light. My soul is cnraptured, untrammeled and free, It roams where it listeth through cloud country fair, Oblivious of earth and all that is real, It'erevels in fancies as light as the air. And so on I wander, unconscious of time, Unconscious of life, lost in sweet, happy dreams, My body is gone, and ’tis only my soul In which all this rapture and joyousness teems. But my beautiful cloud-land, oh, where is it gone? While dreaming ’tis faded quite out of my view; The sun-lighted cities no more can be seen, The sky is unclouded, far-stretching and blue. Thus vanish my fancies with the clouds which have gone; . They lightly unnoticed to nothingness pass, And my soul, which has traveled so wide and so far, Again comes to me as I lie in the grass. 55W Wanted. STOCK of the Falrfleld County National Bank.
