Bill Nye, the humorist, and James Whit-
comb Reiley. the poet, who have traveled
together several months giving lectures,
have separated. The cause of the breach
is succinctly stated by both geniuses.
Nye says Whitcomb is a habitual and
hopeless drunkard, and Whitcomb says
Nye is a d—d crank. The humorist’s
explanation is not irresistibly funny, nor
is the poet’s remarkably poetically, hence
we are forced to the conclusion that in
both explanations humor and poetry are
sacrificed in the interest of cold, cruel
truth.

Dogfights, cock fights and newspaper
fights are the principal features of outer-
tainment in Norwalk lately. And yet the
people are not pleased—Bridgeport Post.
Notwithstanding the fact that political
fights, religious fights, school fights, so-
ciety fights, gamblers’ fights, cock, dog
and bruiser fights, and family rows galore
keep Bridgeport’s atmosphere in a breezy
whirl, still she is not perfectly happy, but
with a chip balanced on her shoulder,
dances defiance to N orwalk.

The fact that the freight train brake-
men on the Housatonic road are “literary
cusses” with tastes and qualifications that
fit them for their positions, was illustrated
last week in the Bridgeport police court,
when it was shown that Albert Pettit, of
the night freight, had, in December,
broken into a freight car to select a Christ~
mas present for himself, and instead of
picking out a ham, or a demijohn of
whiskey, or a box of soap, he very sensi-
bly chose a Yost type-writer. He doesn’t
use it himself, however, as he is now busy
weaving cane seats for chairs in Bridge-
port.

Horse Notes.
Sale horses are arriving from the West
and other places. Dealers are armcipat-
ing brisk sales the coming spring and Will
have to be satisfied with smaller profits
than any year previous. Just now good
sound matched teams of coach horses are
very hard to find and when found com-
mand such high prices it scarcely pays to
handle that class. This is also true of
heavy working teams. They are very
scarce on the market and command good
prices. Ordinary workers and drivers are
so plenty that the prices are accordingly
small.
Our local horse dealers are taking time
by the forelock, and have brought in their
sale horses to be on hand for the coming
demand.
E. Connors, of Solmon's stables, South
Norwalk, has just arrived with 20 head of
horses from the West. They are said to
be very fine animals and extremely cheap.
Mr. L. Parsons, of Brookside, had a car
load arrive from the West lass week,
which are said to be up to the 'usual stan-
dard.
H. E. Dann is contemplating a trip to
the border line of Kentucky for a lot of
fine drivers and workers.
The sale of trotting bred horses com-
menced yesterday, at Lexingtbn, Ken-
tucky. The average price per head was
$200 for 85 head. Better prices will be
reached to-day, and the bidding more
spirited.

The following letter will throw some
light upon this subject. It was not gen-
erally known until this was printed on
Saturday, how this matter stood and
what Mr. Disbrow encouragements had in
the matter.
BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 28, 1889.
DEAR DISBROW:—
Ihadalongintcrview with Mr. Miles
on Tuesday, during which your claims for
a position of some kind wcrefully and
freely acknowledged. He says that you
are fully entitled to anything you want
and that, if you will indicate what your
wishes are, he will try to bring things to
your satisfaction. chssendcn has ex-
pressed himself in the same manner.
Now, I suppose, that you have thought
over the field, and have something in your
mind,——if so, it would be well if you
would indicate your desires. Have no
hesitation but go right at it, so that he
can put in his work before the field is
covered by others.
Would you wish the collector of cus-
toms? I presumc that we could with little
tr0uble get Edmunds to accept of the
deputyship. Or would you take the
deputyship? How would U. S. marshal
do, if it could be get? In going for the
latter we would have to strive against the
whole state, of course, and might fail.
At any rate, let us know what you have
in your mind, as soon as possible, so that
Mr. Miles can begin operations. He will
go to Washington the latter part of next
week, and ought to be prepared to put in
his work.
Yours as usual.
J. W. KNOWLTON.
It was generally acknowledged that the
editorial staff of the GAZETTE were good
looking men, but the pictures in a New
York paper were perfectly abominable.
This reminds the writerof what transpired
in Newark, N. J.., last week. The Com-
mon Council of that city voted to have
the portrait of Mayor Haines painted and
hung in the Council chamber, but when
the picture was delivered, the aldermen
objected to it as not being a good likeness.
One alderman said: “I don’t think it
does the Mayor justice.‘ There is an
Italian peanut vendor on the corner who
can make a better picture.” Other un-
complimentary remarks were made and
the rcsultt was that the Council voted not
to accept the picture. This made His
Honor angry and he sent an officer to the
Council Room and had him remove the
picture. The officer delivered it to the
Mayor, who, with a few vigorous kicks,
broke the glass and torc the picture into
small pieces. There is a moral in this:
If you want a good picture furnish a good
photograph.
The quarterly meeting of the Christian
Endeavor Society was held at the North
church last Monday evening. Some 15 to
20 diEerent societies were represented.
The service of song was conductedo by
Prof. J. D. Bartley, after which Rev. Mr.
Barbour, of Manchester, Conn., delivered
an eloquent address. The different so-
cieties, reported great interest in the
Christian work since their last meeting
j and a large increase in membership.
Mr. J. L. Harlem, your former towns-
man, is lying very ill at his residence on
Fairfield avenue. His physicians give
verylittlc encouragement for his recovery.
Mr. P. L. Cunningham, one of your
best known citizens, is seen quite often
on our streets. Parties dealing with him
in this city for many years speak of him
in highest praise. W. e. L.

We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, Dr.
King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never
handled remedies that sell as well,‘or that
have given such universal satisfaction.
We do not hesitate to ' guarantee them
every time, andtwe stand ready to refund
the purchase price, if satisfactory results
do not follow their use. These remedies
have won their great'popularity purely on
their merits. H. R. Hale druggist. -

WESTPORT.
The Outlook, a daily paper issued during
each of the four days of the fair, was
creditable to the editor of the Westporter
who'conccived the idea, and was also very
acceptable to the throngs of fair patrons,
who, by the use of it, were able to see and
understand all that was going on.
Miss Esther R. Downes has gone to
Florida.
Mr. Clarke Barnum celebrated his 2lst
birthday last week Tuesday.
Rev. C. C. Ferguson, at Memorial
church, Sunday morning, preached on the
subject, “Is Christianity 0. Religion ?”
The sermon was a most forcible answer in
the affirmative. The people are much
pleased with their new rector.
The installation of Rev. Henrv‘Daries
as pastor of. the Greens Farms Congrega-
tional church, Tuesday, afternoon, drew
together many people. Rev. Dr. Seward,
of South Norwalk, preached the sermon;
Rev. Jabcz Backus, of this place, made
the charge to the pastor; Rev Mr. G.
S. Plumley, of Greenfield, the charge to.
the'people, and the right hand of fellow-
ship by Rev. J. W. Ballantine, of Ridge-
ficld. ,
The Board of Trade fair held in the
L'an‘d'and Improvement Company’s great
brick building four nights last week,
closed Monday evening, at which time
the articles remaining unsold, were dis-
posed ef by ticket, vote, and by auction.
The receipts added to those realized last
week, approximate $1,200 which will,
after the payment of all bills, leave a net
of at least $1,000, to be used for village
improvements. A member of the Board
said the problem which would cause much
perplexity in solving would be, "What to
do with the money ?” The fair has been
a source of much enjoyment, the three
great floors of the building being at the
disposal of the management. Thanks are
due all the ladies for their splendid work,
to P. G. Sanford for the loan of anjiriny
of flags and for conducting a shooting
gallery, which added materially to the
general fund, to J. S. Jones for the Out-
look, to Miss Lillian Sherwood for songs
elegantly sung, to Mrs. Homer S. Beers of
this place and Miss Anna T. Pardee of
Norwalk for recitatiens, A. T. Goedsell
for songs, to Company F minstrels of Nor-
walk, to Showman G. B. Bunnell for
kindly securing Mrs. Harrington the fam-
ous whistler for Friday night, to Scofield
& Hoyt and Comstock Bros. of Nor-walk,
to W. B. Hall & 00., D. M. Read 00., T.
A. Bartram & Co., A. W. Wallace 85 Co.,
of Bridgeport, for gifts, to our: village
merchants for displays of goods, and to
citizens of Greens Farms and elsewhere
for gifts of various sorts, all of which
made it possible to conduct the fair to a
profit, and above all to the ladies and
others who managed the supper tables
and supplied the materials making the
facts and surroundings pleasant and
homelike. The result shows that our
town is a live one, and that, where effort
is combined for an object, as in this
instance, .it can be secured. The sent-
iment as new expressed, favors a repeti-
tion of the fair in the same rooms for the
same purpose in the near future. After
the sale of articles by auction Monday
night, a baby’s crib, sewing machine and
several rifles were sold by ticket. The
elegant traveling bag worth $30 presented
to the fair by Mr. John D Wood, caused
more excitement than any single article,
as it was to be presented to the most pop-
ular clergyman in town, by vote, at ten
cents per vote. There were cast 1,098
votes, the bag thus yielding $109.80. The
poll stood as follows when the boxes were
opened :—Rev. Father Carroll, of Assump-
tion church, 64%; Rev. H. S. Still, of the
Methodist church, 289:}; Rev. Mr. Hyde
of Christ church, 76; the remaining 46
votes being cast for other resident clergy-
men.
At the Convention of Veterans held in
New Haven, last Friday, Captain W. C.

campment of G. A. R., to be held in

FURBAPM 8r. SEALSKINS.
There is not a more popular garment among the ladies than a. sealskin
and the fact that there is liable to be a scarcity of skins will make this,
style even more popular. The United States government which owns the
Alaska seal territory, has restricted the catch this year to 60,000, instead of
100,000 skins. ,
The present year two new strong competing companies are in the field
to bid for the privilege against the old Alaska company. and; this in connec-
tion with the restriction, is liable to double the price of sealskins, as. either
one of the above facts must increase the price.
Under the circumstances, any ladies contemplating buying sealskin gar—
ments wouldzdo well to invest in them new, as they may have to pay double
the present price next year.
We have thirty-five Seal Garments left, all first-class, and we want the
room and money. We guarantee a saving of thirty per cent. on all goods
mentioned below. All are first-class and warranted for seven years.
