 The Presidential Sentiment i'm Com
 necticut.
 For the purpose of getting an idea of the drift of political sentiment in the State, the Courant has given an opportunity to the members of the General Assembly to express As the members come from every part of the State it is to be supposed that their opinions represent very fairly the opinions of the intel Hgent voters of the State Of the fifteen Re publican Senators present, the first choice for President is as follows: Grant 6, Edmunds 3, Washburn 3, Blaine 2, Garfield 1. In the House complete tally has not been oonclu- ded, but estimating from the returns received from two thirds of the members, Grant is the favorite by about 15 plurality over Blaine, and 35 over Sherman. The remaining votes are divided between Hawley, Washburn, Hayes and Garfield in the order named, the first named having, of the votes re- turned, one less than Sherman. The votes given for second and third choice would seem to advocate that while there is diversity of opinion there are no antagonisms. MT. Blaine has the lead for second choice by few votes. while MT. Sherman is a good third. It is evident that as yet there has been very little effort to work up "boom" for any candi- date.
 The Democratic members are apparently in a somewhat chaotic state of mind, the major ity evidently caring only for an available can- didate who will make good run. Horatio Seymour leads handsomely in the voting for first choice, having about half the votes of all the votes returned. The other votes are di- vided between Tilden, Hubbard, Ingerson, English, Davis, Bsyard and Barnum. The vote for MT. Tilden does not indicate any great love for the cipher statesman, being small enough to be called scattering. Hart ford Oourant.

Found Dead in Bed.

An Actress Dies from Heart Disease
 The COrOner's Inquest and Finding of
 the Jury.
 Maggie Pearl was a variety actress and for the past week had been playing at McFadden's variety theatre. On Saturday she went to Meriden and played for show in that city, returning to New Haven on the midnight train. She repaired to her boarding house, No. IA Prindle Alley, in apparently good health. and was last seen about o'clock on Sunday morning when she retired. She did not get up at the breakfast hour, and the in- mates of the house supposing that she was weary from the labors of the week did not try to awaken her. At 12 o'clock noon she had not made her appearance and one of the boarders went to her door and rapped loudly, but there was no response. The family were notified, and suspicious being aroused the door was forced. On ..entering the woman was found in bed lying upon her side with one hand un- On attempting to arouse her it was found that she was icy cold, and the true state of the case was suddenly revealed. She was dead. Dr. Frank Whittemore was called and gave it as his opinion that the woman had died from disease of the heart. Acting Coroner Hugh Daley was notified, and after inquiring into the facts caused jury of inquest to be sum- moned as follows: Michael Herrity (foreman), James E. Hickox, George M. Downes, Henry Peck, Frank Fl. Truesdell and George Ora ham. The jury viewed the body, and after hearing the evidence they returned 8 verdict that in their opinion the deceased died from L of clothing, gold open faced watch, three finger rings, set of earrings, canary bird and cage, an empty pocketbook, and under her pillow thirty-one dollars in bills and silver. It is said that she lived in New York, was about thirty six years of age and had 2 child five years of age. A letter found in her room dis closed the fact that her husband had gone to Florida.

Connecticut Institutions.

The LegislatOrs' Visit to the Industrial school for Girls-The Girls, school The Appeal for MOre AccommOda. slOnR..
 The tenth annual report of the directors of the Connecticut Industrial School for Girls shows there were 1s6 girls already in the school and received during the year 1879. Of the 56 who were received during the year, some were returned" girls-previous occu- pants. A pressing need of new building is urged. The inmates, mostly young girls of 10 to IT, are increasing in numbers, and al- ready fill. the four buildings, or houses, to overfowing, so that besides 146 that are kept there, 80 have been ''sent out'' to other houses private families. Not all of these girls are prone to lives of vice many of them are mere ly wayward, and are sent to the Industrial School because they cannot otherwise be well managed. Some of them are only and years old; few are Is. They are of all va- rieties of character, and should not be allowed to mix too much together, since the bad ones spoil those that might be saved. For this reason, as we'll as because the school is full to overAowing, the directors ask the Legislature to give $20, 900 to build an additional home,
 
 fifth of the whole number are ssbad girls"- prone to vice, and require prolonged and strict discipline. Some of these are quite young-scarcely more than children. The di- rectors say:
 s'It is scarcely credible that girls so young can have fallen so far but it is useless to shut our eyes to the fact These girls can less frequently be placed with safety in fami- lies, and consequently the proportion of them remaining in the school tends to increase, while they exercise 8 corrupting influence upon the others"
 For this reason the management desires to separate them from the others, and the new building is for this reason alone sorely needed.
 The State, independently of it's current ap- propriation for board, has given in all $3O,- 900. Private benefactions aggregate about $97, 900. The town of Middletown gave land and buildings, valued at the time at $11, 800. This is but quarter of the cost of the perma- nent establishment. Private gifts are doing much for the school, but State aid is now really needed. Many girls are not only saved by this institution, but are taught trades and habits of industry which are useful to them in after years. It is curious coincidence that the total (81) for Hartford corresponds identi- cally with the number from New Haven, and also that the number of commitments for 1879 was the same in the two cities. Fully 15O members of the Legislature visited the institution Friday. Many of them were accompanied by their wives They went by special train, and, arriving at the station, went by carriages to this home for girls. A dinner was served them the first thing on their arrival. All the premises were visited. The box shop earned $2, O50 last year. The laundry, tthe dormitories, all was in fine order. The school was in session, and it was viewed with much appreciation. The legislators found their hearts enlisted in the school and it's objects, and in the plan for extending it's usefulness
