His memory is embalmed in all our hearts. His remains were inferred on Tuesday afternoon with Masonic honors Taken with fit on Friday evening, "a watcher was pro- cured. He recovered his consciousness, so far as to watch the approach of the messenger of death, laying his hand on his pulse until he marcked the last beat and nloeod his eyes in death.
 It is not death to die,
 To leave this weary road,
 And mid the Brotherhood on high,
 To be at home with God.

 There was quite debate in the House, last l week, over the question of minority represen- tation upon boards of county commissioners The principle is an excellent one but the diff culty in this particular case is, that while the minority party now promise extremely fairly, their. action cannot be made binding upon suc- ceeding legislatures in which their party may be in the majority.

There was a good deal of fun in the Senate, last week Tuesday, A resolution came up from the House, under suspension of the rules, and passed unanimously, extending an invita- ton to the manager of the Perkins Institute and Massachusetts School for the Blind having charge of Connecticut children to bring them to the capitol on a visit during the present ses- sion, at an expense not exceeding $200. Soon after Senator Patton gravely presented a res- olution authorizing the controller to purchase a hand-organ for the use of the Deaf and Dumb asylum. Mr. Patton said he had no doubt the children of the asylum would be as much grat- flied to hear the organ as the blind children would be to see the new capitol. It was ob- jected that the instrument proposed was one that required extraordinary. skill to make it agreeable, even to those who could hear, and the resolution was finally ruled out of order It is pleasant to find one legislator who appre- ciates the ''goody goedy'' appropriation swim dle as it deserves.
 A queer bill passed the House, last week, LII OppOSitiou to thc IcpoFt OI tut committee, providing that the Connecticut Western rail- road might issue free passes in payment of in terest coupons. It was ably advocated by Mir. Bigelow, of Norfolk, and we can understand how it might prove of some value to the sui. fering bond-holdcr, but how it could 'sincrease the revenue of the Connecticut Western R. R Co" is not so obvious. The bill was defeated in the Senate.
 The constitutional amendment prohibiting. the issuing of ''watered" stock by railroad companies passed the last House, but failed this year on vote of 92 to S2; two-thirds be ing needed The committee reported against this amendment, but Judge Catlin, of Harwin ton, made powerful argument in it's favor
 The only consideration urged in opposition tt the measure was that the act of last sessior
 was sufficient protection. No doubt it is
 for the present, but MT. Goodwin, of Eas Hartford. will not live forever and then tn,
 railroads will no doubt be able to manipulat

In attacking the tenement house system, New York philanthropists are striking at last at the chief evil of our city life It is absurd to attempt the christianization or even the civ ilization of the half million savages who bur row in tenement houses, so long as they remain exposed to the pestilential atmosphere of such mode of life. Thence comes the gangrene which eats the morality out of our cities and winch will continue to do so, as long as these schools of vice are permitted to exist. The speakers, lay and clerical, who have been deal ing with this subject for the past week, state facts which make one wonder that New York should have ever escaped the Tweed tyranny. With half her population crowded into these noisome holes. we can hardly see whence came the majority of decent voters who overthrow a regime so solidly founded on the vices of the tenement house system. The respectable citizen of New York will do we'll to abolish the tenement house before the tenement house gets strong enough to abolish him.
