Shade Trees.


 A writer in the Newtown Bee, "W. P. O." urging planting, says in the article
 'The writer well remembers many time and oft seeing MT. James HillhousO(to whom the city of New Haven is indebted for the magnificent elms which now adorn her streets and public squares) walking on the College Green" under the shade of those trees he had caused to be planted in his early years, they then having attained larger size. This was more than half century ago, and they have continued to grow, exhibiting as yet no evidence of decay, until some of them are specimens of enormous bulk, unsurpassed, perhaps, in the State. They are deservedly identified with the name of Hillhouse, and will transmit it to posterity as one ofNew Haven's most liberal and far-sighted men. Now if you have in your midst any similar public spirited citizen, who has the leisure time and can afford to follow his example, we would in all kindness say to him, Go thou and do likewise '''

the Seine carries along whatever is emptled into the sewers, and the water is even par tially clear. All governmental matter, is ex- cluded from the sewers, and is transported to beyond the city, where it is deodorized and converted into fertilizer, which is disposed of to the agriculturists, or taken for use on Government lands A journey. through the sewers is not dismal either, for light hearted tourists make conversation live ly. We finally came to & point where we leave our boat and embark in 8 car, which runs on tracks and is propelled along by the same motive power as before. The car was large enough to carry all our party. The sewer main we have just left is twelve feet in width. the running stream of refuse and sewer water is six feet deep, and above us to the top of the archway it is nine feet. After ride of miles more we came to the light of day again and the open air, and dlsem- parked. Great attention is paid to the cleans ing of the sewers which is done frequently. There are 230 miles of sewers in Paris We had entered the sewer near the beautiful Madeleine church and came out near the Louvre. We had journeyed, five miles. Paris has it's drinking water from the mountains. The Seine is impressed into service to cleanse the city through these underground arteries. The drinking water, contrary to the experience of some, we found as clear and as pure as that of our city.
 Finally our observations led us to the re- fection that protective tariff is necessary for us. We cannot compete in many kinds of manufacturing with the old world, because the wages are vastly less than paid for the same work in this country. We frequently found that our prices are treble what is paid there. We are put on the defensive, there fore, to protect our manufacturing indus tries. As to the republic of France, do not consider it by any means 8 settled fact. There is great need of an elevation of the masses The light of education, must permeate and diffuse it's rays over the land for all the peo- pie. Contentment with ignorance, prevail ing state with the masses, was to me dismal sign of progress" unquestionably great as are the French in literature, architecture and the arts. But nevertheless the people are gaining ground.
 From Paris to Dieppe, thence across the Channel, five hours passage and thence to Liverpool, where we embark on board the Bothnia for 'home, sweet home," and with the reflection coming to me vividly that there's no place like home and no home like America. We stop at Queenstown, waiting some five hours for the mails, and disembark and visit that old town, it's cathedral and other sights, and spend the allotted leave very happily. Our voyage home is very pleasant, and we arrive back well pleased with our trip to foreign lands
