Connecticut Drummers.

In some Of the small cities and towns
there are business establishments whose
travellers make journeys rs extensive as
any undertaken by the drummers of
New York. Connecticut men are
among the leaders in seeking new mar
kets for their productions. Some Of
the large manufacturers of tools, ma
chinery, hardware and other kinds of
goods in that State send men to South
America, Europe and elsewhere in the
same matter-of-fact manner that smaller
houses might send to Syracuse or Cana
joharie. A firm of carriage manufac-
turers in New Haven send a man
around the world. They sell many car
riages in New Zealand, Australia and
South Africa. On his last trip their
traveller drummed the trade up the Red
Sea and along the south shore of the
Mediterranean. He sold some carriages
in Egypt, but none in the countries to
the westward, where the British and
Continental manufacturers yet retain
command Of the market. On his next
trip he will again tackle the carriage
buyers Of that region. He overcame
British opposition in South Africa, and
expects to accomplish the same result
in North Africa.-Hartford C0ardnt.

A Discarded Wife.

ANOTHER American girl who sought
distinction in titled husband has come
to grief in the dissolution Of the mar
rage between Miss Moulton, Of this
city, and Count Won Hartzfeldt, of Ger
many. who gives up his wife in order TO
enjoy political honors. Mrs. Monl;on's
mother was Miss Metz, and her
grandmother was once favorite
actress. Her parents several years ago
made their home in Paris, and it was
there that their daughter met the Ger
man Count whom she married in 1869.
A German resident in this city is quot
ed by the World as saying that the law
which the Count has cbeyed in discard
ing his wife is only 3 social one. The
German Court, according to the strict
notions of the Empress Augusta. re-
CARDS either a connection with the
stage (even by inheritance only or
divorce as bar to social intercourse,
and the fact that the Countess grand
mother was an actress may be the only
reason why the Count could not become
Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs so
long as he acknowledged his American
wife. II this is the reason for his course,
the moral lesson which il teaches OF
German Court usages is not fattering
one.-M Y. Erening Post

A PORTLAND (Oregon) paper says:
One of the strangest and most Interest,"
ing Towering plants ever brought to
this country is on exhibition at Mr..
Shanahan's Madison Street store. 1t is
said to be indigenous to Japan. Its
technical term has not been ascertain
ed. but it is known, and appropriately
so, as the "Baby Plant" Ii is of the
genus lily. sometimes attaining
height of four feet, and blossoms semi
annually. The one of which we write
is, however, not more than twelve
inches in height, with leaves about six
inches long and two inches wide. The
flower is star-shaped. having five petals
of a handsome brown and yellow color.
The calyx encircles and protects tiny
little figure that bears an exact reseni-
blance to n nude baby, its little arms
and legs outstretched. and the eyes dis
tinctly marked. lowering over this
diminutive form is small canopy,
angel-shaped, having extended wings
and peering closely into the face OF the
infant. The plant was examined by
large crowds, and people who have
penchant for Horticulture viii find this
an interesting study.

A BALLROOM IDFL.

SHE dropped this rosebud half an hour ago,
While gliding through that witching waltz of
Strauss:
saved il from destruction dire, below
The ponderous feet of Phillips and his
spouse.
Does my love know love her best OF all!
Another waltz. And. as feared. again
That chattering noodle. Briggs, her ris-d-ris.
He's rich. though rather passc: and it's plain
He loves her; that the very blind could see-
How graciously she listens tn his drawl!
All can she know love her best OF all!
Inever told her how her winsome face
Comes to my thoughts unhid, the whole day
through:
Inever asked her If there is place
In her young heart where I'm remembered,
Yet, watching her. I lean against the wall,
And tell my soul love her best of all.
New halts the music for a little space:
And seated. see, she gathers dnintiiy
Her gowns gay folds aside. to make place,
A place for Briggs. By Jove, she beckons
My queen. GOMEZ Now, let what may befall,
know she knows love her best of all.
The soft. still dawn steals up the whitening
sky:
The lights are out, the music dumb and
dead.
Beneath the stars together, she and I.
An hour ago-what was ii that we said?
Strange gladness thrills my heart as l recall
Her whispered words: Il love you best of
ALL"

BURIED FOR FORTY DAYS.

A Well-Atfested Account OF an Indian
FakIr Who was Sealed Up, Buried, and
Re.u.citated After Forty Days-The
Process Of Reviving the Vital Spark.
WE are not told whether the Seven
Sleepers who retired to cave in Ephe-
sus during the reign of the Christian
killing Emperor Decius. and only woke
up one hundred and tifty-five years aft
erward, when Theodosius III. was on the
throne, made any special preparation,
but probably they did not. Perhaps it
was not necessary. Those were stirring
times for members of the new faith,
and they had little opportunity to grow
obese. But, as n rule, to fast success
fully it is said to be necessary for a man
to abstain beforehand, and reduce HIM
self most carefully to the required con-
dition by long course of preparation.
Pre-eminent at this art of suspending
animation-for an art it becomes-are
the Easterns, and most wonderful stories
are told of the natives of India, which,
whether their powers are due to narcot-
les or any other process, seem to open
up-if true-a wide field of medical
study. One of these Indian stories, not
easily accessible, but of considerable
interest on account of the known We
racity of the witnesses, will probably be
read with interest at the present time,
and is inserted here. The author of it
was one Hon. Captain Osborn, and the
notes made of his statement, here SUBJ
Joined, come from an almost unique
copy printed for private circulation.
sRunjeet Singh had heard from a
Seyd or Fakir, who lived in the noun
tains, that the latter could allow him
self to be buried when in condition of
apparent death, without really ceasing
to live, seeing that he understood the
art of being brought back to life on be-
ing exhumed after several months had
passed. To the Maharajah this APP
peared to be rank impossibility. In
order, however, that he should be con-
WINGED one way or the other, he Or
dered the Fakir to be summoned to the
Court, and caused him to undertake the
singular experiment, under a threat
that no means of precaution would be
wanting toward the discovery Of fraud.
The Fakir consequently caused himself
to appear in state of apparent death.
When every spark of life had seemingly
vanished, he was, in the presence ofthe
Maharajah and the mobiles who sur
rounded him, wrapped up in the linen
on which he had been sitting. and on
which the seal of Runjeet Singh was
placed. The body was then deposited
In chest, on which Runjeet Singh, with
his own hand, fixed paddock. The
chest was carried outside the town and
buried in garden belonging to the
Minister; barley was sown over the
spot, o wall was erected around it, and
sentinels posted. On the fortieth day,
when the chest containing the Fakir
was dug up and opened. the man was
found cold and stark in precisely the

been left. With much trouble he was
restored to life by means of heat ap-
piled to the head, afllation in the ears
and mouth. rubbing the body. etc. The
Minister, Rajah Dhyan-Singh, assured a
friend that he had this Fakir,
whose name was Haridas, for a
period of four months under the
earth at JummoO in the mountains.
On the day of his burial he had
caused his beard to be shaved off, and
when he was taken up again his chin
was just as smooth as on the day when
he was consigned to the earth-a proof,
as would seem, of suspended animation.
1t is related that the Fakir in question
took purgative some time before the
burial display. and for several days
afterward lived only on a scanty milk
diet. On the day of the interment it is
said that, instead of taking any nour-
ishment, he swallowed thirty yards of a
strip of linen of the breadth Of three
fingers. which he Immediately drew up
again, his object being to clean the
stomach. However wonderful and per-
haps laughable these operations appear
to many, it is plain that these people
must have singular control over the
different organs of their bodies, and
more especially over their muscular
contractions. When all the necessary
preparations have been accomplished,
the Fakir closes all the openings of his
body with shoppers made of aromatic
wax. lays his tongue far back in his
throat, crosses his hands on his breast,
and suspends animation by means of
holding his breath. On his being
brought back to life one of the first op-
erations is, by means of the fingers, to
draw the tongue away from the back
of the throat: a warm and aromatic
paste made of meal is then placed on
his head, and air is blown into his

How the Lambs GambOI.


 There are few prettier sights than troop of lambs ranging from two to six weeks old. With the true gregarious instinct of their species, they range in focks, or gangs, and are fuller of life, animation, agility and grace than any mortal thing on earth. To sae snow white squadron, two or three hundred strong suddenly make dash from @ state of repose, and scamper, like mad race horses, along the edge of precipitous bluff, until the mad gallop of their twiukling feet is lost in the distance-perhaps good half mile away and the green herder rises from his couch on the green grass, and girds up his loins pre- paratory to going after the runaway rascals- when, presto here they come again, leaping, and glancing, and darting, and stamping, right back to the place from which they start ed, and suddenly stop, and look, with won derful, inquiring eyes, upon the astonIshed herder; and, before he knows what to make of it, are of on the same ''racket" again, kicking and fiinging and capering and push ing each other to the edge of the bluff, which, however, they are far too well posted to fall over There may be prettier sights in the animal world, but we have yet to see them. Then how they stretch themselves upon ths erass and lie in the warm rays of the life-g giv- ing sun, sleep till they get tired Of sleeping and then make a break for suction, dividing their time, like good, natural infants, between the two great props Of physical existence, sleeping and eating; while their mothers good, staid, sober, honest souls-forgetting, perhaps, that they were once lambs them selves-crop, contentedly and assiduously, the juicy pastures, and keep strictly to the real business of ife-their life-viz. converting as much as possible of the vegetable world into mutton for the use of somebody else 8 worthless coyote, or a worthless man; but yet recognizing the grand fact that their children are about, and not getting too far away, as they would be prone to do under other cir cumstances.

 There is every evidence of sudden wealth in New York, reminding one of the days of 1865 G. Particularly during the present sea son have the living expenses of rich and poor increased, and never since, or hardly before the panic of 1873, has such reckless extrava- gance prevailed.

In fact, such goods were never before imported. Some Of the passementerie trimmings of cashmere and rainbow beads range in prices az high as $35 and $40 yard, with fringes to match in rich ness It really seems as if there were pos sibie conspiracy between the dressmaker and importer to make up in the quality of the costume for the less quantity of materlsl and trimmings required by the present fashions Our leading houses must bear the blame of bringing sore temptations before the Ameri- can ladies. One can but wonder if the profit on these higher priced goods is enough more in comparison to compensate for the responsl- bility of lsading our nation into wilfuI eXtrav- agance and vanishing into thin air the econo- mic virtues the bardships of the last few years had forced us to learn. It is well known that the richest manufacture and finest specimens of French skill are brought to America. Said lately returned tourist: ''It is about impos- sible to find a really handsome bonnet in Par. is-the loyeliest are all sent to America and as for dressmaking, if you want it done cheap ly, never go to modiste who has much Amer ican patronage, for the prices will be rulnous Find modiste mantua-maker up two or three fights of stairs who can speak no English and has only French customers, and you will get the best of styles at very low rate.

 By the way I have been asked more ques- uons about that firm that is to start a dry goods store in the Insurance building within the last few weeks than any other topic don't know why so many people outside of New Haven should be so interested. What ever else they succeed in they certainly have created good deal of sensation over the ground travel No doubt the people in the city are far more interested in reality than these outside, but do not hear so much of 1t, mot being much at home. I told my wife to do all she could to give them start by buying all the needed articles she wanted from them, or as soon as they opened. For one want them to succeed, for I feel much interest in their welfare. If we can have a store supported in our midst which will have no equal (outside of Boston, in New England, it is something for everyone who lives in our city to take pride in. When auctioneers from out of town come in for few weeks and take away thou sands of dollars, no wonder the merchants grumble, but when business men come in and enter into fair competition with our local merchants, then I say ''let the best man win;" and we who live in the Elm City can take the benefit of their low prices and do our trading at homo.
