A RIuR Game.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I wish to say few words through the col umns of your paper, as voter, to my Re- publican friends, in regard to the bluff game' the Democratic party is trying to play. In New York, for instance, the Democratic papers will come out with the names of prominent Republicans, stating that they will change their votes, that they will vote for Hancock. The Tribune takes pains to ferret out these parties to ascertain the true facts, and in each and every case they find it false publication. It is done to influence weak minded Republicans I tell you, boys, stand firm. That is my advice to you, for Han cock has no more show than ''Crazy Charlie" would have He is losing ground every day and Garfield is gaining. He is the coming man. Now, boys, remember when the prop CT time comes, go to the polls each and every one of you, and cast your vote solid for Gar field and you will be rewarded by electing your man. IA foTER.

The Subscriber.

It was an old subscriber,
 His eyes were old and dim, But "he want takin' no paper That was pokin chan at him." For he picked his paper up one day. And 1t went to his heart like a rocket;
 Whom the gods love, die young it said,
 "But they whose hearts dry" he read. As the summers dust, burn to the socket" Then he looked through the paper with wrath and
 doubt,
 And his heart with anger burned, For he found ct" had been left out, And he found an "' o' that was turned" And he lifted his voice with mighty shout AS the sheet with his feet he spurned- He stopped bis paper he would not read Such 8 bundering, villainous sheet; Of the news it contained he had no need. He could hear the news on the street. Only ten days later he sold his corn; But he pounded his head full of dents When he learned, after selling for twelve and half It was quoted at forty-two cents. And his farm was sold for taxes, because He didn't know when they were due, And he bet on a race three days after dats And he bet on the wrong horse, too. He was fined nine dollars and seventy cents For going out shooting on Sunday For he didn't know, with no paper to read, Whether twas Sunday or Monday. He came to town to the Fourth of July. But it had been a week, And he felt so mad that he wanted to cry, For he didn't know how to speak. And he thought that Grant was President vet And he never had heard of Hayes; It was worry, and blunder and trouble, and fret, All of his weary days. So he came to town one summer morn And signed" for his paper again, And went back home to his wheat and corn, The happiest man among men.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of- ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. LighthilIs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

Some curious statements have been pub hshed by an Austrian official on the data of longevity in Germany and other European countries It appears that there are some F, 500 persons over ninety years of age throughout the whole of Europe, of which number G, 200 are women. In Italy, again, female longevity is superior to male, there being in that country 241 women over 100 years of age, and only 16O male centena- rians. Allowance being made for the prepon- derance of women in the population gener- ally, even then, according to these state ments, the female sex shows the best average of long life. In Hungary, on the contrary, there are more old men than women not withstanding the females outnumber the males. Austria, it seems, has 100 women who are over Q century old, while only eighty six men are as aged. The most interesting fact, however, in these data is the superior longevity of the Germans as compared with the Sclaves; thus among the Germans of per cent. of this population who come under the catalogue of old people, while among the Sclaves of Galicia the percentage is 1.
 Paper manufacturers must have their water pure, and they sometimes have much diff culty in obtaining the right kind. A Holyoke paper company is trying novel experiment, which, if successful, will furnish good water at little cost A big well is now being dug so close to the bank of the Connecticut river that 1t will be entirely covered up when the water is high. Its dimensions are one hun dred feet in length, twelve feet in width and twelve in depth. The bottom and portion of the sides will be left open and the top arched over with brick laid close together to prevent the surface water from coming through. It is expected that the water from the river will filter through the few feet of earth and keep the well full enough to supply a draft of 400 or 500 gallons minute. AL ready, with the we'll not half completed water rushes in so rapidly that it requires a force pump which discharges l 1000 gallons a minute to be kept at work half the time to keep the water out sufficiently for the men to work. Other mills are awaiting the result of the experiment before deciding upon the method they will adopt to supply themselves with water. It is said that this plan has been tried before, but not always with satisfac-

HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light
 hills Practice in New
 Haven. Statement of MT. T. MI. Cox, No. S5 St. John Street,
 New Haven. Dr. LighthHI takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the cOnsid- eration of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. M. Cox, an old andFprominent resident of New Haven.
A Happy Experience.

From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from Mir. T. M. Cox, aa old resident of New Haven, and gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. LighthiI1s ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July g.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lghthil and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to a consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience One of Dr. Lghthills pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to its former perfection and acuteness know Dr. Lighthills repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthills efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.

not; and some other such practical mat ters connected with railroad service. "More people, :" says the Courant, 'are killed in a week by the butchery of the freight train than ever died from the mischief wrought by blindness. Not day goes by without furnishing from six to fifteen cut up brake men to the hospital or the undertaken, ac- cording to reports in the papers, and more than half the slaughter of brakemen escapes public notice and is kept out of the papers by being hushed up. Let Connecticut have the credit, if reputation is what she is after, of being the first State to afford the brake man on the freight train as much considera- tion, as far as protection to life is concerned, as the traveller on the passenger train.''
Morning journal and courier., 1880-08-07

We heartily indorse the Hartford Courant's suggestion that part of the superfuous skill and science now being devoted to the eye
 sight of railroad engineers, conductors and brakemen be turned upon such questions as how to protect the lives of employees on freight trains, how to couple cars without crippling men, how to discover whether bridges, embankments and trestles are safe before, by falling, they prove they are

 Deposits in savings banks are increasing, which is a sure sign of general prosperity. The increase in the deposits of the savings banks of New York city during the last six months is estimated at S, ,000, 0OO and in the banks of the whole State at $17, 100000. In the light of such facts the workingmen of the country can hardly be made to believe that there is any crying necessity for change"
 The grand jury of New Orleans has brought in what the newspapers of the city call general indictment of the municipal govern ment'' Of the police force the grand jury says ''It is composed of notoriously objec- tionable material, the result of corrupt political patronage and is menace rather than a protection.

withdrew the name of that gentleman from
further consideration by the Caucus, and sent
to the Clerks desk the following letter:
JACKSON, Jan. 49, 1880.
To my Supporters in the Democratic Caucus;
The last nights voting in the caucus, reach
ing to the 34th ballot confirms me in the belief
that the existing dead lock" can only be bro
ken by the withdrawal of one of the names
voted for. And as the entire vote on that oc-
casion was distributed between three names
and was more uniform than usual, | think
the withdrawal Of my name may bring about
the result so desirable to the unity of our
party. therefore ask that you will add to
the obligations under which you have already
placed me, by allowing it to be Withdrawn for
that purpose, If you agree, please appoint
one OF your number, on your behalf and my
own, to withdraw it at the next meeting of the
caucus.
Your voluntary and unwavering support
has been a source of the highest qualification
to me, and my appreciation OF it is not in
the least diminished by the fact that it has
not resulted in success.
Respectfully,
&c. WALTHALL.
Mr.. Reyolds in an eloquent speech of five
minutes duration, placed before the Caucus
the name of Judge j. Y. George.
Mr.. Featherston, in a few well chosen re-
marks, seconded the nomination
The Caucus then proceeded to the
