 The people of New Haven and other parts of Connecticut are accustomed to most in appropriate displays of Democratic roosters, but nothing has been done in that line here recently which comes up to the performance of the Indianapolis Sentinel, which brought out its rooster to celebrate the organization of the Maine Legislature by the Fusionists.
 English society is said to have been greatly shaken by the announcement that the Prince of Wales two sons, who are serving on board man-of-war, have been tattooed on the nose with India ink. The aristocrats of England have apparently got @ little beyond the stage of development where tattooing on the face Is considered ornamental, though there have recently been mysterious whisperings con- earning such decoration of other parts of the body by some of them.
 A North Carolina statesman in Congress has made himself somewhat famous by proposing thas copy of the Congressional Record, 6 valuable, if not widely read publication, shall
 
 be sent free to every voter in the country. The trifing expense of doing this has been figured up and is found to amount to only two million dollars a week. AS the Record would help to make home happy and keep the boys and girls in evenings, the small cost of sup plying 1t to the people should not count against the plan. 
 At meeting of the Irish societies of Bos- ton to discuss the proper celebration of St. Patrick's Day sensible action was taken and some bright things were said. It seemed to be the sense of the convention that, instead of parading, lecture should be given, the proceeds thereof to be devoted to the relief of the starving poor in Ireland; but to this idea one delegate objected on the ground that when St. PatrIcks Day arrived the starving

A Curious Romance i'm In
diana.

A Seymour Qnd.) correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Gazette says:
A curious complication of family
affairs has Just been developed
here. DIR. Frank Bledson, his wife,
Rose, and two bright littlc girl
babies were family al Brownston
in 1866. The husband and wife
separated. DR.. Bledson went to
Shclbyville. HIS wife soon after
procured a divorce The Doctor
soon after married at Shelbyville.
Some time since his wife died, by
whom he had had five boys. After
her death a correspondence sprang
up between the Doctor and his for
mer wife, which resulted in a re-
newal of the old flames OF love, the
cmbers Of which were doubtless
sull smoldcring, and n promise of
re marriage. The wedding was set
Tor Saturday evening, at the Jonas
hotel, this city. When they met,
caresses were freely INDUCED IN by
the longseparated wife and hus-
band, and their two little girls, how
aged II and l6, and the plighted
faith renewed, the Doctor promis-
ing to be a kind and loving father
to Mrs. Bledson and her children.
lie then informed his wife that she
must likewise be q mother TO his
five boys, when she Indignantly
said. "Never" A few words then
passed between them. They scpa-
rated. The Doctor took the train
for ShelbyvIlle to join bis five boys,
while Mrs. Bledson took her two
girls and returned to Brownstown.

The comes from Pecan Point,
Mississippi county, Arkansas, for
the Academy OF Science, as fine a
collection of pottery as was ever
wrought by mound builders. Many
of the best specimen were found IN
q mound on tho farm Of II. W.
Friend, who donates them, through
Mr.. W. p. Hall, to the Academy.
There are forty whole pieces of pot.
terry in the collection, and barrel
full Of broken vessels, the pieces OF
which can be put together. The
pottery shows that the pottery ma.
kcrs among the mound.builders in
that region were more skillful than
those who lived in this section or,
at least, nothing has been found in
the mounds in this latitude which
equal those from Arkansas. The
vessels just received are unique in
deed, as whole ; some of them re-
present strange animals, some Of
them frogs, some of them idols;
there is one with wolfhead for a
handle, and another with an up.
right round handle six inches long
which terminates in the head OF a
catamount or some other wild beast.
of this species. Some Of them are
much in the shape of the old Roman
lamps, and some look like they
might have been made for milk
pans. There were geniuses among
those mound-buiders, who turned
out as graceful forms of pottery as
anybody in this age can. The new
collection forms very valuable
addition to the archaeological Sec
ton OF the Academy.

The Specific for Drunk
cnncSS.

If the editor of the Chicago Tri-
bune is not mistaken, DR.. D'Au-
gers specific for intcmperance is
the most successful of remedies for
the morbid desire for Intoxicating
drinks, which is acquired after
years Of assiduous practice at the
bar of devotion to the private bot.
tie. Mr.. Medill is credited with
the statement that this physician
has cured some $500 cases, and
there has not been single instance
of relapse.
Nor is there any secret about it.
1t is u preparation of red Peruvian
bark (cinchona rubra), called by
druggists "qulll bark" because 1t
is taken from the twigs about the
size Of quill of the red variety.
A pound Of this bark is pounded
and soaked in pint OF diluted al.
cohol, and this is evaporated down
to a half pint. A teaspooniul OF
this is given every three hours tor
two days, alter that the dose is re-
duced to aquarter teaspoonful, then
to fifteen and ten drops.
The cure is effected in from seven
to fifteen days, though in extreme
cases thirty days are required. Mr..
Medil! says it is a remedy that has
never been known to fail, even in
cases whore excess has been carried
to the point OF dementia. The cure
is regarded as complete when the
desire and appetite for liquor have
disappeared, and IN the place Of
them aversion TO all siimulants
spring up. The only credit DR.,
D'Auger claims in this matter is in
discovering the nature and location
of the disease called dipsomania.
The cure of it, by the use of Peru
vian bark, according to the formula
given above was purely accidental.

WE were not fully prepared for

We were not fully prepared for
the almost universal expressions of
appreciation which greets US at eve
ry turn, and which our suggestion
in last weeks issue, of Capt. III. NJ.
McNeigh as a candidate to repre-
sent Mississippi county in the rcxt
Legislature elects. True, we had
on several occasions heard a few OF
his most intimate friends speak of
hlm IN connection with the position
of representative, but had no idea
that the thought lay dormant in so
many minds and can only attrib-
ute our action in the premises to
our powers as mind reader and q
keen sense of touch when the pub
lie pulse Is affected. At any rate,
we struck a chord in the public
heart which boats responsive to
ours, and whose vibrations will
be felt IN the outer limits Of the
county and we are proud that our
signal meets so ready response,
and that we sounded the right key,
and at the proper time. There are
a few individuals, however, and
they are very few, who, are either
envious of the distinction we thus
acquire in sounding the first tocsin,
or, were probably engaged in set
ting out megs for a little private
game of their own, who have been
trying 10 create a false impression
by reporting that the article under
the head of "Our next representa-
tive"was not the production Of the
editor Of this paper, but was writ
ten by some one else at the instiga-
tion of Capt. McVeigh himself.
Now, we don't like to be robbed,
when we do write good article
one that takes with the people, of
the credit of writing it; in fact, it
is about the only thing an editor
does get; for docency's sake don't
rob him Of that, because, as a rule,
after he has boosted candidate in
to office, he is seldom rewarded
with anything more than patron
lzing recognition. We know this
to our sorrow. We have 4" lifted I"
Jone men election after election on

proper resentment when such at
tempts are made to deprive US of a
Just credit. That, sometimes dur
ing press Of business, we secure
the aid and assistance ofour friends.
we don't deny but such favors are
always acknowledged through our
columns, and we are always respon-
sible for every limo so furnished
and appearing in our paper. But
in this case must say in justice to
Capt. McVeigh, as well as to our
self, that not a soul, outside of our
little family knew of the arti-
Gle until given to the public last
Saturday. Those who know us
will not charge us with being given
to much loud or frequent blowing
or self laudation, nor do we effect
useless parade in any shape, but we
do pride ourself on being a tip.top
listener; and in this manner obtain
a great deal of Information that is
unnoticed by those who waste all
their time in " blowing" In this
way We base our estimate of men
and measures, and gauge public
sentiment.

ARKAYsAw politics is one of the
most difficult and Incomprehens,ble
problems of the age. The l3 10 II
puzzle is not q patching to 1t. Four
years ago, the democrats Of Arkan-
saw went wild over the TIldcn
Boom He was elected by popu-
lar vote of over 25O,000, but when
the s to commission dcclar-
ed Hayes elected, the Arkansas
democrats in obedience to tho man
dates of the leading mouth.pieces
of the party, under the pitiablo
guise of supplicants, in the interest
f"peace tamely submitted to the
grossest outrage ever perpetrated
by any set of highway robbers.
Now, four years later, when it is
proposed to again defeat the repub-
licans with the same standard bear
or, Samuel j. TIldcn, the leading
Arkansas papers and democrats OF
the state, taking their cue from the
boiling wing of the Tamany ring,
the recognized head of the party,
and who get all the spoils in the
shape of barr'ls of money, rave and
claw the air with frenzy and rage
whenever the name of Tildcn is
mentioned IN connection with the
presidency.
The same condition Of affairs OBJ
tain IN the body polite of the state.
At any rate, the lines OF distinction
are so closely drawn as to appear
almost identical: Two years ago,
the state democratic convention
adopted as one of its bottom sills in
the erection of its platform, a reso-
luton embodying in substance what
is now known as the proposed Fish
back amendment. The people Of
the state applauded until they be-
came hoarse, and the state press,
with few, if any, exceptions, fairly
howled and got way up in the pic
lures, in their exultations. In the
midst of these state of affairs and
sentiments, the legislature, fresh
from the people, made dilligent in
quiry through their committees IN
to the matter of the states indebt-
edness and reported the bonded in,
debtedness fraudulent, and the
stamp of fraud was placed upon
the bonds by that body in the pas
sage of the Fishback amendment.
To-day, two years later, what are
the facts ? Why, we find nineteen
out OF every twenty newspapers
fighting the Fishback resolution
with tooth and toe nail, aud men
who gladly accepted nominations
for Office on the state platform Of
two years ago, now seeking for Of.
flee on the strength of their'oppo-
sition to the Fishback amendment,
and the state platform. But then,
we suppose, in the absence of pet
schemes, individual ideas or hob.
bies, the Fishback amendment will
serve their purpose as well as any
other conveyance to ride into office.
