The Atlantic cable vouchsafes but little in- formation about the German elections. We gather, however, that Rismark's blow has failed, in spite of bitter persecution of so- called Socialists, and an almost complete mug zling of the press. If German imperialism conducts the government in such fashion q few years longer. it will be pretty certain to irritate even that patient people to the point of revolution

Our Regiment.

On the 11th of September. 1862, the Litch- field County Regiment then known as the 18th Conn. Volunteers, but afterwards as the 2d Conn. Heavy Artillery, was mustered into the service of the United States. and within a month from that time left for the seat of war. AS the historian of the Regiment we'll remarks lin order to raise it, Litchfield County had given up the flower of her youth, the pride and hope of hundreds of families. In moral qualities, in social worth, in every civil relation they were the best Connecticut had to give. " Their faithful services, from Cold Harbor to Sailors Creek, are treasured as apriceless heir loom in many of the families of the Mountain County, for many households recall the lines
 'To the bush comes the rose,
 And the flower to the plain
 But the good and the brave
 :~ They come not again"
 Since the war, the survivors of thisregiment have held annual Reunions, in various towns in the County, on the date of their muster in i; and this year have appointed the rendezvous in Litchfield That they will be heartily well comed and honored, by our citizens, is certain, and we ask the Enquirer to call attention to the Reunion at this time, in order that all may be prepared to generously second the Commit tee having the reception in charge, and who will this week commence their preparations to receive our honored guests on the 1ith of September, in manner worthy of our old time hospitality. P.
 The term ''cruel and inhuman" treatment, for which divorce is granted in New York, has received a somewhat extended interpretation in recent decision by Judge Sedgwick He holds that the use by the husband of such harsh language as caused sleeplessness and nervous prostration in the wife, was sufficient ground of divorce. The term ''intolerable cruelty" in our statute was given much mar rower signification by our Supreme Court in the case of Shaao vs. Stap, r Conn. 1S9 This led to the passing of the so-called ''omnibus'' clause of our divorce law allowing separation for ''any such misconduct as permanently de- stroys the happiness of the petitioner and de- feats the purposes of the marriage relation D This clause was repealed by the last legisa- ture, and now any amount of abuse short of actual beating seems permissible in the mar riage relation.

A Riverton correspondent of the .Winsted News speaks strongly in favor of fish propa- gation. He thinks the salmon can easily be restored to our waters with proper care in it's propagation. He estimates the amount of food fishes taken from our streams and lakes as quite large, but objects to the black bass which he considers only an ordinary fish which ex- terminates better kinds. He also strongly ob- jects to the snaring of grouse as ruining true sport.

A Herald reporter has been interviewing prominent Connecticut politicians regarding the prospects of Nationalism here. Ex-Gov. English expects that the new party will meet with very little success. Ex-Gov. Ingersoll knows little about Connecticut politics, he ,avers. During his political career he used to hear of Greenbackers, occasionally, but they thinks the old parties will lose about equally and that Nationalism will not influence politi- cal results either way. Senator Barnum makes little account of the Nationals. ''They lack leaders and organization, without which little could be done," Perhaps they lack money, too, which is said to make the ''mule" go best of anything. here in Connecticut

Repudiation has proved bad policy where it has been most thoroughly tried, says the N. Y. Evening Post. Outside St Louis there are twenty-fi million dollars of county, city and township debts in the State of Missouri. On ly one fifth of these municipalities pay inter- est on what they owe. The practical result, says the Post, is that the repudiating counties and towns, with great natural advantages, are languishing and hopeless, while the honest mu- nicipallties, not ably Kansas City, ,are full of life and confidence.

Sometime in July gentleman from the eastern part of Goshen appeared before the town clerk and took the oath as Justice of the Peace. He was trifle mortified, shortly af- ter, to learn that he had never been elected.
 He gets the title of Squire" however, from all his neighbors, which is the chief thing.
 The policy of decentralization" has prevailed to such an extent in Goshen, that there are now but two Justices in the whole town; both of whom live near the Cornwall line, one about five and the other three miles from the Center.
