William E. King

,- “I have been a victim of catarrh for ten
years. It has kept my head feeling badly with a
sense of fullness and ringing in the can.
Instead of discharge from the nose, as many
have, it has acted so that either one or the other
of my nostrils has been tightly closed up so that

trial. I have now finished four bottles and am
satisfied it has effected a cure, for the catarrh no
longer troubles me a. particle, and I feel better
in every way than I have for years. I am very
Grateful at the Result»

Well Done, Mr. Cleveland.
President Cleveland’s remarks upon
the opening of the great Colombian
Exposition at Chicago were brief, but
eloquent and appropriate, befitting the
dignity and significance of the occasion.
There is an American ring to the
Speech which Will find enthusiastic re-
sponce throughout the length and
breadth of the land. It was a tribute
to American eeterprise, to American
intelligence, to American liberality, to
American popular government. and
couched in such terms that it could not
fail to make a profound impression
even upon those n be are least familiar
with American institutions and to whom
the Exposition is' in the nature Of a
New World revelation. -
A Hero’s Birthday.
The fact that Gen. Grant’s birthday
was more generally observed than for
some years past speaks well for the
good feeling and patriotic sentiment of
the country. NO people can afford to
forget their great men, their soldiers,
heroes, and liberators. Such forget-
fulness means decadence and degrada-
tion, says the Washington Post.
As a matter of fact Gen. Grant’s
birthday should be set apart by nation-
al legislation as an occasion to be gen-
erally celebrated. There is nothing in
his military history that we can recall
without gratitude and pride. He was a
patriot as well as a commander. His
motives were as pure as his deeds were
splendid. His genius stood between
the Union and the perils that beset it ;
his valor pointed the way to our com-
mon safety; his strength and patience
and devotion attuned the army to a
splendid heroism, his magnanimity in
victory sealed the Nation’s peace.
Those who followed him, the descend-
ants of his soldiers, the millions who
looked on and thrilled at the brilliant
procession of his achievements, the
magnficent Union he did so much to
rescue and perpetuate—all these must
think of him with reverence. It is an
omen Of good When his anniversary up:
peels to freemen. It is a sign that cour-
age, patriotism, self-sacrafice, high
character, and noble purpose still com-
mand the love and admiration of man-
kind.
Grants birthday should be added to
the catalogue of the days we celebrate.
It was the birthday of the Union’s sav-
ior. - -
Alcohol and Tobacco.
The committee on Education of the
Connecticut Legislature having favor-
ably reported a bill compelling school
teachers to pass-a satisfactory eXamin-
ation on the effects of alcohol and
tobacco before they shall be granted a
license to teach,'it now remains for the
teachers to get together and examine
into the subject thoroughly. The com-
mittee have qualified their bill, how-j
‘ ever, so as to allow Lthe teachers to
ascertain the effects of this drug and
narcotic, theoretically, but they do not
forbid a personal visit into the hidden
mysteries of these articles of daily
consumption. This being the case,
what will prevent our school marms
during the. long summer vacation, from
taking a loaf of sugar, and after dash-
ing it with lemon juice and placing it
in a glass containing a slice of pine-
apple and a few strawberries. fill up
the glass slowly with seductive chem-
pagne, and revel in the delights and
dreams of a champagne sour. ‘ Or,
should fancy lead to some Othér style
of the barkeepers art, they could delly
with a morning glory fizz. Should
these fail to give the required ‘knowl-
edge a Manhattan cocktail, the popular
Gotham decoction,would without doubt
make their hearts “jocund and sub-
lime.” But as the summer season is
approaching and cooling drinks are the
fashion, perhaps that drink of the gods,
a mint julep, would better fill the bill.
Visitors to Connecticut’s shore resorts
this summer need not be shocked if
they come suddenly upon a staid and
solemn school marm rocking in a ham-
mock beside the sad sea waves with
novel in one hand and a St. Croix rum
punch in the other, for where could
the effects of alcohol be better ascer-
tained than at one of our shore resorts ?
“ Here could she sit and dream
Over the heavenly theme.”
When the question of tobacco is
reached,we are afraid the school marm
will fail us. The mere thought of
‘nausea, a cold clammy sweat o’er face
and brow and a dark brown taste in
the mouth, has made many a strong
man wilt before now. To ascertain the
effects of tobacco theoretically is im-
possible. It takes the first cigar to
fully acquaint one with the Crew—
Roman efl'ects of tobacco, and we are
of the opinion that the Educational
committee has imposed too great a task
upon our lady pedagogues.
As the Women’s Christian Temper-
ance Union is urging the bill, the com-
mittee should take compassion on our
teachers, divide the proposed duties,
and give the school marms the alcohol
question, and allow the Union to wres-
tle with the tobacco, in which case the
effects of each could be more fully un-
derstood.

_A Noble Evangelist.
Another titled Englishman has land-
ed at New York. He is known as Lord
Bennett, and isthe eldest son of the
Earl of Tanckerville. When the old
man dies he will be the Earl of Tanck~
erville himself. For the present he is
only Lord Bennett.
He is in New York, however ; he is a
distinguished personage, and we are in
constant expectation, says the Wash-
ington Post, of an announcement to
the effect, that metropolitan society is
basking in the sunshine of British no-
bility. New York has never yet missed
an opportunity to bask, even in cases
where the nobility was doubtful. That
is a characteristic of the higher civili-
zation. Only rude, inferior, and coarse-
minded persons remain insensible in
the presence of the titled aristocracy.
Lord Bennett is peculiar in his ap-
pearance. He is thus dccribed by as
New Yorkpaper :
"In appearance the future earl might
be mistaken for a young American
lawyer. He is of medium height and
slender. His rather pale, regular fea-
tures are set off by a- coal-black mus-
tache and hair. The latter he rolls
back from the forehead. He wore a
black suit and a trim-fitting black over-
coat with a silk facing. His shirt
bosom was hid by a black four-in-hand
tie with a small pearl in it. His shoes
were not stylish, and he hadn’t- the
slightest suggestion Of a crease in his
trousers. ”
Whether a British nobleman, contin-
ues the Post, who does not wear stylish
shoes and whose trousers have no
crease in them, can escape the enter-
tainment cemmittee’s ponder-nus atten—
tion and the importunities of individual
toadies, acting as privateers, is a ques-
tion. Personally, we doubt whether a
real chappie would dare to be seen in
such company, even if the future earl
were willing to be seen with areal chap—
pie. Of course, however, nothing but
fate and evolution can settle so vast an
uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Lord Bennett is there,
and, what is more, he has come' with
the avowed purpose Of converting the
Chicago sinner. He has in his com-
pany two or three singers of world-wide
note, a couple of exhorters of tremen-
dous energy, and a young lady—a Miss
Whittle—who can extort music from al-
most any instrument on earth. His
mission, he says, is inspired by grati-
tude. He was converted in this coun-
try by a gentleman of great lung pow-
er andtwo young ladies with poke bon-
nets and tambourines. He has never
forgotten it. He has always been thank-
in]. And now, when Chicago seems to
need spiritual help, and when he Sees
a chance to discharge his debt to Amer-
ica, tOgether with accumulated interest,
he has come into our midst intent on
doing us a kindly turn.
We hope Lord Bennett will not pass
wicked Bridgeport by “on the other
side.” He might spend an indefinite
period there to the great benefit of that
unregenerate city and thus place the
Nutmeg state under everlasting obliga-
tions. '
Me and Willie.
.Years and years.ago some stern and
inflexible old Roman took his stylus
and wrote those burning words “nil
despei'andum.” The spirit of that ut-
terance nerved the great Cato to crack
his daily chestnut in the Roman Sen-
ate. Caesar with that motto pasted in
his helmet flung himself and his legions
cyclone-like into Gaul. Later, no
doubt, these words were constantly in
the mind of Peter the Hermit, who
roused all Europe by his terrible earn-
estness to make that combined move-
ment of the ~ nationstoalledthe Cru-i '-
sades, which ”fawokeVEu'r‘Op'e "from "her
stagnation, "and civilization from. her
slumber. “ Never despair ”were words
which animated the great ChristOpher-
and sustained him under every repulse.
Instances might be multipliedwhere a
thorough-goingr belief in this motto
has wrought great results., Right here
fir Norwalk we have an instance, not
no perhaps at which we can point With
the finger of pride; but one which will.
serve for an example. 'We refer to the
Tuhey family. Tuhey pei‘e has grown
gray and worn out innumerable patent
leather shoes in chasing county com-
missioners in order to secure a license,
but his importunities have ever been in
vain. At last, however, there isa li-r
,cense in the family, and while the name
of “John ” is not written in the county
commissioners’ diploma, “William”
is. We cannot congratulate Mr. Tuhey
upon the result, however much we may
envy his tireless zeal in a bad cause.
Tuhey has sailed. over hard seas, he
has been “pinched” by a relentless
prosecuting agent, and has had occa-
sion to weep as his f‘merchandise ”
meandered sewer-ward. It looks now,
however, as if his trials were well over
and that the Franklin avenue, drug-
store and its tribulations would be a
thing of the past. Instead of the glass
jars labeled “sp. fru.” “vin. gall.,”
etc., we shall see bottles labeled
Torchlight Whiskey, N. E. Rum, Cy-
clone Brandy, etc., while the portrait
of the Book Beer goat will hang in the
front window “ as idle as a painted ship
upon a painted ocean.”
As for the County commissioners
who granted this license, we hardly
know what to say ; they were aware Of
the past career of Tuhey pere and they
had no reason to believe that the ad-
ministration Of Tuhey file would be
any better. Possibly the chairman Of
the board, whose capacity to grasp
every office within his reach, and-sigh
for those beyond it, has been so clear-
ly demonstrated, may have had a little
sympathy for a member of a craft of
which he is now, we believe, “a non-'
afliliated” member. At any rate the
board granted a license when it was
obvious to every one. that 'William
meant John. We shall watch with
some curiosity to see whether the place
is run “ wide-Open” on Sundays or is
kept closed as tightly as a sample
burglar-proof safe. We hardly think
the public will indorse this action of
the County commissioners, 'who in this
case have reversed several well consid-
ered decisions of their predecessors.
If‘this is a sample'i‘Of what is being
done elsewhere gin-the county it is ap-
parent that licenses can be had for the.
asking, and that past records and re4
mo‘nstrances count for nothing. How
ever, the commissioners have earned
the gratitude of all metaphysicians by '
so clearly establishing a Well-defined
line between twOedledum and tweedle-
dee. A few, years, from now when Mr.
Tuhey rolls in wealth and adopts.arm-— .
orial bearings, We feel certain that
whatever maybe the design the motto
will surely be .‘foz‘ll desperandum.” '

To Be Investigated.
A disgraceful row occurred in the
Hope Hose house-3 Monday that. will
be a subject of strict investigation, and
may" lead to the. disbandment of the
company. Complaint was made to the
Warden and in company with Chief
Dann he "visited“the house and found
two or three of the members of the
company under the influence of intoxi-
cants. Frequentcomplaints have been
made to this officeof a like nature as
having happened at the headquarters
of this place. In one of them the claim
was presented that it was not a fit
place for a lady to pass, owing to the
vile and profane language to be heard
fggm the mouths of those who were in-
s1 e. .
The GAZETTE was loth to make these
complaints public as .members of the
company in the main have the reputa-
tion Of being good firemen and hard
workers at a fire, and for another rea-
son that it was. for the authorities to
abate the trouble. of which it- seems
strange they were not cognizant.
The GAZETTE hopes that the investi-
gation will be the means of abating
the nuisance, for such it has been, and
that those guilty will receive prompt
punishment at the hands of those in
power. .

Strike Not Probable.
The president of the Bridgeport
.brlcklayers’ union - says that while
there has been some talk among masons
of- demanding from the‘bosses higher
wages and striking in case they are not
conceded, the union has taken no action
on_the-matter. ' The rules are that a
strike cannot be. ordered until after
three months’ notice to the bosses, and
therefore none 18 probable in that city
