The Democrats in the Legislature have been caucusing about the movefor mod ification of our license law. and will prob ably not meddle with it. The temperance committee have reported a bill discontinue ing the appointment of prosecuting agents and reducing the license fee to $50. A movement so plainly emanating from the hquor interest can hardly be successful

A bill has been reported in the legisla- ture doubling the governors salary. A governor of Connecticut is rather more ornamental than useful; and while we should like to see his work and salary both doubled, we can scarcely agree to the one reform" without the other.

John Burt, who was sent to State Prison for stealing horses in 1871, has been re- leased by the legislature. He is seventy years old, thirty six of which he has spent in prison. The reason gwen for his re- lease was that Che could not live but a little while." If he is sick unto death, his release may be very proper and humane thing; but if old age is all that is threat. ening his life, we should have preferred that he should stay where he is. A man that will steal horse at sixty. six is very apt to deal in the nasty animal little at seventy.

The House of Representatives seems to have made up it's mind to support local rather than state fairs. Last week bill appropriating 5000 to the Stock Breed er's Association for their State Fair was rejected, while a resolution giving the Meriden Agricultural society $2O0 was adopted. Mir. McNIahon called attention to the disposition manifested to oppose all society appropriations unless to ooy society, but to no purpose.

 Our Democratic legislature has really done itself credit in one matter. Its com mittee on woman suffrage has recognized the right of the better half of our commu- nifty to share in its government. They have favorably reported a bill allowing women to vote at presidential elections, there being no amendment of the consti- tuition necessary for that reform. We do not suppose the bill will pass: but the fact that the committee who have examin- ined the subject recognize woman's right to the ballot is an encouraging symptom.
 The Salisbury News has an interesting paragraph about the slice of the Iron Cor ner of Old Connecticut to be found at Me- gaunee, Mich. It is place of about 4OOO in- habitants. chiefly engaged in iron mining and manufacture. Wm. H. Barnum has large interests there and among the emil grants from the East are Messrs. T. NJ. Wells, salesman in the store of the Iron Cliff Mining Co.,, E.S. Green. MA. Gibbs and Henry Fuller. all from Salisbury; Captain Cad Smith, late of New Milford. Here is located the enterprising and sue. cessful law firm of Adams, Sutherland & Swift, the senior partner being. John QuinceY Adams. formerly of West Corn. wall, and the junior an emigrant from Cornwall Bridge.
 The University boat race of last We'd nesday resulted in another victory for Cornell; Columbia coming in second. liar. yard third, and Yale sixth. The feature of the match is the collapse of Yale's great expectations. Cook, the stroke of their boat, and the man on whose pluck, sci ence and endurance the college specially prided herself, had worried himself into a condition of body and mind that seems to have utterly unfitted him for the ex- citement of the contest. He repeatedly ''caught crabs" and seemed to have lost all the elasticity of muscle and spirits that have hitherto characterized the man. The Cornell crew were most of them men whose muscles had been hardened by manual labor before entering college, though their fine opportunities for prac- sice perhaps had as much as anything to do with their success.

Our Common schools.

A new question in politics is loom
ing up; it is the question of the ex-
istence of onr Common School sys-
TEN. Bishop McQuaid, of the Cath
Ollie Church, last week, delivered a
lecture in Cincinnati, in which he
took strong grounds in favor of the
division of the school fund. The
agencies to he employed in this di-
rection are clearly and plainly stated
IN the following extract from the lee
ture of the Bishop, tO-wit:
He had not voted since he had
been Bishop, hut he expected to
vote pretty soon on this school ques-
ton. Now, stand here and say that
unless we mean to carry this ques-
tion to the ballot box, we are not
worthy the name of Catholics.
The simple vote of Catholics will
not avail to destroy the school sys-
TEN, how then is it to be accom-
plished? A few extracts from well
authenticated sources will furnish
the answer. First, an extract from
recent letter of Representative Ge-
CHAN, the author of the law enacted
by the late General Assembly, which
gave to Catholics unusual religious
influence in our penal and reforma-
tory institutions. These are his
words:
1--WE have 4 prior claim upon the
Democratic party. The elements
composing the Democratic party in
Ohio tO-day--fully two thirds of said
party-are made up of Irish and Ger
man Catholics, and they have been
always loyal and faithful to the in
terests of the party. Hence the par
ty is under obligations to us, and we
have q perfect right to demand of
them, as party, inasmueh as they
are in control of the State Legisla-
ture and State government, and We,
by both our means and votes. placed
them where they are to-day, they
should, as party, redress our grieV-
ances.
Then, again, read what the Cincin
natl Catholic Telegraph has to say il
the same direction. 1t is copied from
its issue of April lst, towit:
The unbrOken, solid vote of the
Catholic citizens of this State will he
given to the Democracy at the Fall
election"
Here we have the programme in
full; the destruction of our Common
School system, through the agency
of the democratic party, the same be-
ing 'under obligations to u.s., and
must ''redress our grievances says
Mr.. Geghan. This is PLAIN issue,
forced upon us against our consent
or desire, and we are called upon to
meet it in the spirit becoming Amer
lean citizens and American ideas.

"A Road of rOmbs."

Colonel Forney writes from Rome:
Everybody has read about the APP
plan Way. 1t was the great line OF
communication between Rome and
Southern Italy. Before You reach
the old road you see the colossal
ruins of the baths Of Caracally,
which occupy the space of nearly a
mile, and accommodated one thous
and and six hundred bathers at a
time; but this is surpassed by the
size of the bath of DiOcletian, which
accommodated three thousand and
three hundred bathers at a time.
The baths were the favorite resorts
of the poets and philosophers, and
were adorned with porticoes and yes
tibules for the idle, and libraries for
the learned. They were also decora-
ted with the finest subjects of art IN
paintiug and sculpture, and placed IN
the midst of fountains and shaded
walks. Along the Appian Way were
built the tombs containing the urns
with the ashes of hundreds of thOus-
ands of Romans who lived and died
thousands of years ago. These
tombs are temples above ground,
built of solid stone walls, inside OF
which were placed the urns, while
outside were carved the beautiful
decorations and Inscriptions, often
times including exquisite statuary
to designate the dead. Many OF
their busts were found centuries al.
ter inside, and as you now ride along
this solid road you see the remains OF
costly sepnlchers, with the fragments
of their marble memorials and high
ly wrought statues. You wouio
think that this road of the tomb'
would be rather a mournfnl analr
but the Romans had strange notlon'
of death. Their funerals were jolly
feasts, and they liked to have thelI
villas and their merry meetings nea
the houses of their departed rela
tions and ancestors. For miles th'
relics of the graves extend along th'
Appian Way. One of the most cnrl
Gus of these sepulchers is the tomb o
C;ecelia Metella, erected siXty-seve
wears before Christ to the memory o
Cacelia, the daughter OF Qulntu'
Metullus, the conqueror OF Crete
and the wife of Crassus. 1t is cir
cular tower of massive construction
and enormous strength, and has seer
many changes. 1t was a fortress o
feudal stronghold in the Middle
Ages, and sustained great injury IL
the sixteenth century when Rome
was besieged. To-day it stands il

A GREAT many curious things
come from Vienna, which is Ger
man city engrafted with French no
tions. There is an old law there which
provides that whoever comes into the
town, and neglects TO inform the po-
lice of his arrival, shall be fined D
guldens. This law long remained
imperative, and consequently great
numbers of new cOmers were in ar
rears. The city was short of money
lately, and, by a happy thought, sent
around its police to take census of
the city, and lodge a demand for
5 euldens with every resident whose
address was not already in the hands
of the police. A large sum was oh
tained in this singular manner
much more than enough to pay the
expenses of the enumeration. The
census showed that Vienna is now the
largest German city, with popula-
tion of I,OOl ,999. This makes her
the fourth city of Europe, ranking
below London, Paris, and Constan-
tinOple only.
