A Connecticut correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives the political
situation in that State as follows
The State is Republican on an honest
poll. The Democrats were frightened at
the facts, Two weeks ago they felt de-
feat in the air. They had no confidence
to bet on English. Within few days,
with no change in the canvass here, ex.
cept in increasing brightness on the Re.
publican side, the Democrats have sud.
denly become confident of winning. Their
betting men have entirely changed their
tone, They appear to bet as on certain
ty, and their confidence has just this basis
they learn that the State has been sold
There is not sign of any other reason
for their confidence. Gov. English has
been up to Albany, and arranged the
matter with Mr.. Tweed. The thing is to
be done in the usual Tammany style. l
do not know how much money is to come
here, but it is to be enough-or what is
supposed to be enough. My information
about this is entirely conclusive to my
mind"

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER. What an

Stacks up and stops. That's all. The
quick eye, firm hand, prompt courage,
the knowledge of every furlong Of the
road, the putting on steam on an ascent,
or the shutting off on down grade, the
difference of expansion in the rails be-
tween hot and cold, wet and dry, and the
perpetual risk of life and limb and prop
erty are matters unknown to the people
who pay their fares, take their tickets,
and get to their journeys end. All the
while their lives have been in the hands
of a grimy-looking man at the end of the
train, whom, if they meet him on the
platform, they avoid lest they should soil
their silks or kersemere by the contact.
These men should be, and often are, sci
enti6cally educated but they have no
social position, and their wages are abso.
lutely inadequate to their responsibilities.

The Tariff Question not to be the Issue
between Political Parties.

The attempt of certain leading polite.
ians to make the tariff question the issue
between politinal parties has been thus
far and ignoble failure, and it must ever
be SO. In the first place those who give
most attention to this subject, are them
selves unable to give an Ineligible rea.
son for their belief in a protective or
non-protective tariff when the question
is considered in the abstract. If the ap-
plication is made to any specific industry,
the consider the bearing this question
has upon themselves or their constituents
in pecuniary point Of view, and then
determine their principles. Tell us where
any public man is located and what are
the leading industrial interests of his con.
stituents, and we will tell you whether his
political creed embraces protection or
free trade. The trouble is, our public
men take too narrow views of political
ecouomy-views largely influenced by
selfish considerations. The tariff ques.
ton will always be found q difficult one
to deal with. 1t is difficult, even with.
out the tremendous pressure which is al
ways sure to be brought by interested
parties, to regulate it in manner to
work no injustice, to any class of our
citizens. The tariff necessary to raise O
revenue sufficient for the support of oui
government, will always prevent the
necessity of discussing the policy of pro-
lection and free trade. There ought to
be little common sense introduced into
the discussions on this subject and lit
tie honesty and uuselfshness and breadth
of views infused into the statemanshiT
which is to discriminate between the
different local interests and to finally reg
ulate the subject of the tariff. We be-
lieve there is a common sense view o.

Attorney Bangor received dispatch

little purpose. He is confident that the COM

Milford. In answer to a question touching

How Two BOYS KILLED A PANTHER
A subscriber to the Sacramento Union
vouches for the truth of the following incl
dent, which occurred on the north fork of the
Grindstone, in Colusa county, CAL, last sum-
mer:
"Two young men started to the mountains,
as is customary, with band of sheep. One
was named Orlando Burris, aged fourteen
years, and the other Chas. Hull, aged eigh-
teen years. After getting thoroughly settled
in their cabin and the sheep in good control,
they started off one bright morning trout fish
ish, having with them sheep-dog and jack
knife, the latter in the possession of young
Hull, and the only weapon of defense in case
of an attack from any wild animals. They
had not gone far when they came to an cid
moss-grown log, and were about to step on II,
when out sprang large she-panther and her
two cubs. Young Burris hissed the sheep
dog on the panther. She Immediately seized
the dog by the head and was Furnishing him
in frightful manner when young Burris
came to the rescue, catching the panther by
the tail and endeavoring to pull her off the
dog. In case the panther let go her hold it
would have been sure death to the young ad-
venturer. Just in the nick of time young Hull
seeing the danger his companion was in, drew
his jack-knife and rushed to the scene of the
conflict. Running his hand down over the
panther until he felt the pulsations of the
heart, he raised the knife, and, with unerring
aim, drove it straight into the panther heart.
The animal fell dead between them. Thus,
by the merest accident, the lives Of the two
young heroes were spared. A few days after
ward they hunted up the two cubs which es-
capped during the fight with the old one, and
killed them also. Amy person paying visit
to their fathers residence can see the three
skins hung up as trophy of the victory they
accomplished. The dog recovered and is as
faithful as ever.
