llicted with this annoyance, at every
syllable pronounced must tap at the
same time with the finger. BY so
doing the most in vetcrate stammer-
CT will be surprised to find he can
pronounce quite fuentIy and by
long and constant practice no will
pronounce perfectly well. This may
be explained in two ways, either by
sympathetic consentancous action
Of the nerves Of voluntary motion in
the finger, and in those Of the tongue,
which is the most probable; or it may
be that the movement Of the finger
distracts the attention Of the individ-
ual from his speech, and allows a free
action Of the nerves concerned in ar
ticulation.

THE HERALD.
pRIDGEPoRT AHEAD OF THE
WORLD.

Our Bridgeport readers cannot
fail ~ have noticed with some pride
the items we have offered from time
to time showing the progress OF our
city in building and in general pros
peritv. We think wo can safely say
that we are not, in this respect, be-
hind any town in or out OF New
England. There are many points,
however, in the internal workings OF
our manufacturing interests that do
not come TO public knowledge, but
which, if known, would be an occas-
ion for pride TO all who take pleas
IRE in the rapid advancement that
Bridgeport is making in wealth, SIZE
and activity Of all sorts. One such
point Of interest we have Just learn
ed in connection with the Howe
Machine Co, and we make haste to
Law il before our readers. The first
building of four hundred feet in
length aud three stories In height,
now rising to completion IN connec-
ton with their factory, well symbol
ICES, as our readers will now learn,
the wonderful progress in the work
ing Of that establishment. A result
has been reached there during this
time which, howevr small it may
appear at some future epoch in
tho history of sowing machines, out
strips anything as yet attained, there
or elsewhere. They have not yet
been able to avail themselves Of the
extended facilities in prospect for
them in their new building, but their
daily manufacture is now greatly 10
excess Of what their weekly number
amounted TO three years since
During the six days ending Saturday
August 20, the records in their Of
fee show a production If 1920 sew
ing machines, and during the six
days ending Saturday, August 9th,
q total production, for the week, Of
2,429. This is an average OF q few
over 400 machines per day, and it is
believed to be the largest production
for q week ever made in any one
sewing machine establishment ia
this or any other country. Our cit
liens may vol look upon this result
with individual pride as . Bridge
port attainment, aud only hope that
the continued energy Of this catab-
lishment may long lend it, valuable
aid TO the general thrift and PROCESS
Of our city bridgeport Daiiy Stand

how delicate and difficult, how great,
embarrassing and momentous were
the duties imposed upon President
Lincoln and how slIillfdlly he man
aged them, as, for instance, with
Governor Seymour. We see, too,
that the cry Of "peace, peace, we are
ready for treaty of peace" from
the rebel coterie in Canada, was q
trick to divert the popular sentiment
from Lincoln in the prosecution of
the war, while at the same time they
had Guy Fawkes at work in Rich
mond upon a plot compared with
which that of the original Guy was
but bagatelle. And yet the histor-
ian of our late terrific rebellion must
look still further behind the scenes
before he can properly tell the story
to posterity, Let it suffice for the
present that our terrible war has
given us q glorious peace, the Union
restored, slavery abolished, universal
liberty and equal rights established,
and that we are on the verge of that
general amnesty from Congress
which will rapidly reconcile and
harmonic the South to revolution,
political and social, the most radical,
progressive and decisive in the his
tory of mankind. Let us, then,
North and South, look rather to the
glorious future than to the terrible
past let US cultivate harmony, and
"let us have peace" -Ne,C York

State Historical Rooms-Marble Bust
of Alexander Mitchell, Presented.

The State Historical Society's col
lection has been enriched by the
addition of q marble bust of Alex
ander Mitchell, President of the st.
Paul Railway, and the wealthy bank
er of Milwaukee. 1t was presented
to the Society by Mr.. Mitchell, and
came directly from Rome it is of the
Carrara marble, and fresh from the
chisel Of f. B. Ives, an American
sculptor well known in art circles,
and to the admirers Of sculpture in
this country and Europe. Werecall
the names Of mono of his works save
"Ariadnc," an ideal bust OF that most
unlucky daughter Of a king a stat
ne Of Flora, and q statue of "Un-
dine" which was exhibited in ST.
Louis in 1863, and is we believe one
Of his works.
The bust of Mr.. Mitchell is mount
ed on a pedestal of clouded marble,
with revolving top, which the spec
tator can turn at will, and thus Sc
cure the proper light on the bust
The position given the head is digni-
fed, easy and natural, and the fea-
lures are lifelike. For fidelity of
expression, closely representing the
subject 50 far as can be done in mar
BILE as well as for completeness Of
conception and finish-and as fine
work Of art-we think it will receive
the praise Of the critical and appre-
ciative. We can see that full devel-
opement of brain F.; Of the perceptive
faculties the expression of frmness
and energy that have made Mr..
Mitchell what he is to-day. Not
alone the outward semblance, but
the index of tho mind, is here re-
veaIed to the careful student-in the
finest Of the famous Carrara marble,
pure in color and delicately trans
parent. 1t is a substantial and costly
present, which is highly valued by
the Society. -Sate Journal.

angel III her arms, he cried, "Ob, sis
ter, am here ! Take mel
And she turned and smiled upon
him, and the star was shining.
lie grew to be a young man, and
was busy with his book when an old
servant came to him and said
"Thy mother is no moro. | bring
her blessing on her darling son."
Again at night he saw the star,
and all that former company. Said
his sisters angel to the leader:
dis my brother come ?"
And he said
"Thy mother"
A mighty cry of joy went forth
through all the stars because the
mother was reunited to her two chill
dren. And he stretched out his arms
and cried:
'Oh, mother, sister and brother, |
am here Take me ~
And they answered "Not yet. +"
And the star was shining.
He grew to be man whose hair
was turning gray, and be was sitting
in his chair by the freside, heavy
with grief, and with his face believed
with tears, when the star opened
once again.
Said his sisters angel to the leader !:
dis my brother Gomez
And he said
"Nay, but his maiden daughter"
And the man who had been child
saw his daughter, newly lost to him,
a,celestial creature among those three,
and he said:
"My daughters head is on my
mothers bosom, and her arm is
around my mothers neck, and at her
feet there is the baby Of old time,
and can bear the parting from her,
God be praised p
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to be an old
man, and his once smooth face was
wrinkled, and his steps were slow
and feeble, and his back WAS bent.
And one night as he lay upon his
bed, his children standing around
him, he cried as ho had cried so long
ago:
81 see the star !"
They whispered TO one another !:
"He is dying"
And he said
IL am. My age is falling from me
like garment, and L move toward
the star as a child. And, oh, my
Father now | thank Thee that it
has so often opened to receive those
to await me %
And the star was shining, and it
shines upon his grave.

we shall only involve ourselves in
endless trouble by denying either.
Supply and demand will fix tho price
of labor, as they have the products
of labor. But when laborers become
their own employers the case is
bravely altered. Let the Crispins,
thrown out of employment by the
Coolies, make shoes on their own
account; and, our word for it, they
will neither strike against their en-
ployers nor quarrel about the rate of
wages. Half the money spent in
supporting even the briefest strike
would establish q successful shoe
mandatory owned and controlled
by shoe-makers. That done the
present danger seems averted. Co
operation is the key to the solution
of the North Adams problem.-N Y.

ga The London Times says at
is well-known that hitherto the
United States have been represented
at this as we'll as at other courts by
a diplomatist having the rank Of
Minister only. At recent meeting,
however, of the Committee upon the
Diplomatic Service, Lord Clarendon,
in answer to question from q men,
Der of the committee, said that if the
United States desired it, an ambassa-
dor, representing the most impor-
tant of modern nations, would be
most acceptable in this country ; but
it was for the United States to take
the initiative. There was no reason
why republic should not be repre-
scented by an ambassador, as the
republic of Venice had enjoyed that
distinction.

The Wheat Crop of 1870.

From the official report of the
Department OF Agriculture, dated
Washington June II, we extract the
following:
Freezing out" has not been gen.
eral or very serious in its results
The winter was mild and compare
lively uniform, during its earlier
months especially. February and
March, the most critical period for
injury by freezing, were stormy and
cool, with far more of snow than the
preceding months, affording protec-
tion against the seasons changes
In view Of the general mildness and
openness of the winter, from which
severe winter-killing might naturally
be expected, the exemption is strik-
ing. In many instances this exemp-
ton is evidently due to the use of
the drill, which plants the grain more
deeply and uniformly than the brush
or harrow used in broadcast sowing.
Abundant testimony has this spring
been furnished to prove that the
,cheat driH is annually north millions
to the agriculture Of this country
Drainage has also been a means of
preventing loss by freezing. Where
winter-killing has occurred it has
been in isolated patches, not through
out whole counties or broad belts OF
country it has been due more to
dition of soil than to extreme or
frequent changes Of temperature ; it
has been seen in stiff soils, in hollows
where water stands on the surface,
in half-pulverized soils, and in fields
where the seed was scattered upon
the surface. Very few good farmers
have occasion this spring to complain
of the effect of frost, there has been
some loss, considerable in the aggre-
gate, as there is each year, but
scarcely as much as the years will
average.
Among the great grain fields Of
the West tho sevcrest injury from
killing was in Illinois. Here
as elsewhere, early drilled wheat or
carefully prepared, dry or drained
soils, escaped injury.

n@-J Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte
died at Baltimore, on the17th of June,
aged G5 years. His mother-in-law,
Mrs. Williams, also died the same
day. Jerome was son of Jerome,
the youngest brother of the great
Napoleon by his marriage with the
celebrated Miss Elizabeth Patterson,
of Baltimore, and was born in En-
gland in July, 1906, at time whom
his mother was not allowed to land
in France. Born under these circum
stances of peculiar anxiety to his
mother, the deceased, Of all the Bon
apartes, bore the most striking like
ness to the Emperor who had, by
Imperial decree, declared him in
advance to be no Bonaparte at all.
He was educated at Harvard Uni
versity, and married a daughter OF
Benjamin Williams, of Roxbury,
Mass, whose very large fortune,
united with his own inheritance, made
the subject of this notice one of the
wealthiest citizens of Baltimore
There he resided, quiet and unob-
trusive gentleman. His eldest son,
Jerome, is now an officer in the
French army but although the Pa
pacy, to its honor, has ever refused
to annul the marriage which was
solemnly celebrated In 1903 by the
Bishop of Baltimore, the Imperial
Court has to this day refused to rec
ognize the legitimacy Of the Balti-
more Bonapartes. That recognition
would have constituted the deceased
Prince and heir presumptive, in
stead Of the other Prince Napoleon,
his half-brother, born Of the Wurtem
berg marriage

Is the Council Infallible Also !?

The cardinals elect pope, and it
is said not without q good deal Of
intriguing and preliminary bargain
ing.
The pope appoints the bishops and
archbishops and other dignitaries of
his sect.
These persons meet together in
council, and proceed to declare the
man who appointed them, and who
was appointed by the cardinals, in
fallible.
The question whether or not the
pope is infallible is now debated in
the council ; and is presently to be
put to vote. The adherents of the
new dogma are calling in all the alb
sentees of their side, to secure a
majority for it depends upon the
members of the council, appointed by
the pope, TO decide whether he who
was elected by the cardinals is indeed
infallible.
But in that case the availability of
the pope depends, after all On the
infallibiity of the bishops and others
who compose the council. If they
are liable to error, who can tell
whether they may not vote wrongly
on this question ?
But as the pope appointed them,
unless he is infallible he may have
made mistakes, and then again the
verdict of the council would not be
conclusive.
And so on, around to the begin
ming again.-Nelo York Eoening Post.
