Happy Times.
 One of our very well known young men was short time ago made the victim of 8 rather severe practical joke by two of his friends, who are also quite well known about the city. Since then this young man has been studying to get even with the jokers. Last week he accomplished his fell purpose, and the tale is thus related: The joke was returned by means of bouquet and fine choice cut of cake which were set as trap. The bitter bit, under the impression that fair lady of North Haven had sent them, and took suitable pride in the tokens and sent due acknowledgements. And now "the quondam homeiest man in all the town" is even, and a number of friends in the secret are very happy over the joke, and smacking their lips over an expected oyster supper. Professor Chand1er's sO1ree Musicale. The soiree musicale by the pupils of Pro- l lessor Chandler, at his vocal studio in Hoad- 1 ley's building, last evening" was attended by select audience and highly enjoyed. The programme consisted of vocal and instru- mental selections, many of which were par ticularly well rendered Perhaps the m ost pleasing numbers were the 'Cantique de Noel" (Adam), by Miss Belle Andrews, and Gounod's "Ave Maria" by Miss Ada Pal merton. The quartette 70, hush thee, n.y. baby,' (Sullivan), by Misses Palmert on and Hughes and Messrs Warren and Lines, was also finely rendered.
 At the close of the entertainment, while l the performers and few friends were assem- | bled in the ladies' parlor, Professor Chandler 1 in neat speech presented to Mrs. s. B. Shon- | finger pair of statuettes entitled Reading" and ''Writing."' The recipient of the gifts responded by thanking the donor for his kind remembrance.

 MT. Sharon Bassett, who died at his home | in Birmingham Monday, of heart disease, was native of North Haven, born in May, 180S He lived in North Haven till 1849, when he removed to Birmingham and commenced there the manufacture of carriage bolts. Here he carried on the bolt business exten- | sively for many years In 1872 he built his extensive factory in Shelton, where are now | employ ed about sixty hands.
 Mir. Bassett was prominent, influential | and useful citizen, and was once warden of | the borough. It was due to his energy and | efforts that the public water was introduced | he having spent much time in carrying out | his schemes. He was quiet, peaceful man, and was an exemplary member of the Con | gregational church of Birmingham during | his long residence there. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was very num-
 erously attended by prominent people of the place.

TIE South RICH n PoWERFUL-The
old editor of the Washington Chroaic}e and
Phil,. Press Col John w. Forney, of Phil
adelphia, who has written more vile things
about the South than any man except
Horace Greeley thus speaks in his paper
The South is rich and powerful, and she
has now a thousand new reasons why she
should husband her resources and retaliate
with her refreshed powers upon Der cause
less and cruel enemies. This retaliation to
be terribly effective must be terribly reso-
lutte and bold, and fearlessly peaceful, pro
grcssive. and vicilant. There is no mercy
in the modern Republican leaders of the
North for the Southern people. The hearts
OF the honest masses of the North beat re
sponsive to their Southern sisters and
brothers, but the government of the United
States is in the hands of money changer
and an official despotism and from thi,
time forth me whole Republican policy vii
be directed to the erection of empire.
Hancock, defeated only by purchasing and
terrifying the voter, by persecution Of The
South and punishment OF all who dared t.
defy the Northern rings, leaves the govern
ment in the hands of men who can only
hold 1t by the processes that enabled then
to win it. They have now the right to per
petuate themselves in Off ,e by force anC
fraud, AMI they can only hold what the,
have stolen by keeping up their system O
force and fraud. The empire will rise from
the fears of the robbers and from the scorr
of the masses"
