COMMUNICATIONS.
A Nuisance.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Probably the approaches to the station oc- cupied by four of the five railroads coming into New Haven are more used by the trav- cling public than any other highways in our city. And yet these highways are made more dangerous to the safety of the public than any others. Why the Derby railroad should be permitted to put the lives of our citizens in daily peril, and to cause frequent serious inconvenience to our business traffic, is a puzzle to thousands in this community. It is no sufficient explanation to say that the directors wanted to save a little money and therefore declined the terms offered them by the New York and New Haven railroad. Nor is it satisfactory to the public to learn that it would be more expensive to do their switching in another place. The fact re- mains that their present practice is an utterly uniustifable encroachment on public rights.

Al PLAIN QUESTION,

The annual conflict over the issuing of h- censes to ''suitable'' persons to sell intexi- eating drinks is in progress, and there is the usual squirming to avoid anything unpleas- ant. The law says that "suitable'' persons shaH be licensed by the County Commission CTS upon the recommendation of the Se- lectmen. It is very plain that the County Commissioners have no right to license unsuitable persons It is also very plain that the Selectmen have no right to rec ommend unsuitable persons, and that it is their duty to recommend only after having made due inquiry" Why, then, this diff culty and friction? Is it because there is really any doubt as to the right and wrong of the matter?

An answer to Mr. Mongredien's appeal to
 the western farmer has been written by John
 l.. Hayes, IL. D., of Cambridge, Mass, who
 for this occasion adopts the signature of
 Jonathan B. Wise And Jonathan will show
 wisdom in giving MT. Hayes argument the
 consideration to which it is entitled. He
 pungently reviews the Golden Clubs tract
 exposing its selfish motives, the falsity of it's
 assumptions the fallacy of it's arguments, and the impertinence of foreign meddling
 with our internal affairs He shows that
 Great Britain, in spite of it's wealth, is the most dependent country in the world; that it must have cheap food for it's opera tives and cheap raw materials for its manufacturers, and can only obtain them by diminishing the home mar ket in foreign agricultural countries, so that their products may flow into her ports, and must secure market for her own manufactures by suppressing all competing manufactures in other countries These therefore, are the chief objects of British statesmanship. He shows that it is not the highest rule of conduct, as assumed by the Golden Club, to buy in the cheapest markets and sell in the dearest and that national vel fare is not always better promoted by the policy which increases most rapidly the az gregate wealth than by that which distrib- utes it more equally, though the gross amount may be less. He shows that farming in America under our protective system is more profitable than in any country in the world, that successful farming is due less to natural advantages than to a wise policy, that our farmers seek and obtain protection well as the manufacturers do, that goods are really cheapened by protection, and refutes successfully all the arguments of the Cob den Clubs pamphlet. He does more than this. He proves that the system of protec- tion to American industry 'is an essential and vital element of our governmental econ- omy, and part of our very marrow as na- tion. ,

Good Advice to Those Intending to 'sGO
 Onto the Land.'
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Through your columns wish to say few words on farming, colonization, etc. If my own ideas are not practical or fail to be of benefit, may draw out ideas and plans that will be adopted. There are hundreds of sober. industrious mechanics who earnestly des1re to own a farm. A few have some means, but the most of them have little or nothing. Anyone who compares the condi- ton of the mechanic to-day with twenty-five years ago must admit that the change is for the worse A really desirable man in any branch of business is reasonably sure Of comfortable living so long as he IS able to work, and nothing more After then, what The farmer is the only really independent man His work is sure, and the result cer- tain. His mind is free from the worry, cares and anxiety that rob the mechanic of half his peace and pleasures A good farm in a good location, is the best thino man can have. I have studied the subject carefully for five years, spent much time and money in looking for the best place. and know what am talking about when speak of different States for men of small means to go to. Florida IS only sulta- ble for fruit, and men of small means cannot wait for fruit farm to grow. Kansas, ln the eastern half, is good grain and farm land. But 100 acres under cultivation is as little as one can live on and $1, 500 small capital. The western half of the State is good place to keen away from Texas is but little better for a northern man. The only good parts of Arkansas lack communication. Missouri is better than either of the others, especially in point of health. Alabama, in its northern

The Postofice department collects dividends when required, and places them to the investors credit. These arrangements represent the minimum of cost and trouble to investors. The act will take effect on the 22d instant, and the rise in consols already noted is but a reasonable an- ticipation of the increased demand which will set in for those safest of all British invest ments

The New York horse railroads do not seem to have suffered much from their elevated rivals. From State Engineer Seymour's an nual report it appears that from 1875 to 1879 Ginclusive) the dividends of the Broadway line increased from $126,o to S157, 300, the Third avenue line from $19O, 900 to $455,- 900, and the Eighth avenue has divided to it's stockholders an even $12O, 900 every year. The Second and Sixth avenue roads were in- juriously affected or less economically man. aged and declared no dividends. From the Belt and all the cross-town lines there is the same story of greater gains.

Just before the close of the cam- paign an appeal to soldiers to vote for Gener- al Hancock, ,purporting to be signed by Gener- aTs Mcclellan, Slocum, Franklin, Baldy Smith, and about thirty others, was scattered broad cast from New York. A letter has been re- ceived in Washington from one of the best known and most highly respected officers of the late war saying that he never saw or heard ofthis address, to which his name was signed
 until friend sent him printed copy. He writes further: 'Its personal reflections on the Republican candidate had better have been omitted, and could not have appeared in such an appeal with my approval.

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF GOODS

In 4 recent lecture on the chemistry of
food, by Professor Church, some sugges-
tive points of dietetics were well brought
out. OF all the cereals says Mr.. Church
wheat yields the best bread. This is be
lieved to be due principally to the charac-
ter OF the heterogeneous matter of wheat
The main constituent is tibrinc, and it
can be readily obtained for examination
by making little flour into dough with
water, and then washing the starch out
by means of Il stream of water. There
is then left grayish-yellow, tough elias
tic mass, which is gluten. Speaking of
peas beans, and various kinds of pulse
it was pointed out how much more nearly
the different kinds agree in composition
than the cereals do. The great drawback
to the use of various kinds ofpulse is that
they are so difficult to digest, They are
an excellent theoretical food. according
to analysis, but they are severe tax on
digestion. OF all the beans. none present
a better typical food than the Soy beans.
LentilS have been much spoken of lately
as good food, and they undoubtedly ap-
proach toa good typical food but they are
bitter astringent and not easy of digestion
1t has now come to be pretty we'll recog-
nized that the food of a man doing hard
work should have flesh formers to heat
givers i'll proportion of 1 to f., and that
the food of child should have to :.
Bread gives to -, where the heat-givers
are more than even a child wants; so it
is not good food by itself. Pulse gives
Ctaking an average to -, which is far
too small. In these calculations heat
givers are reckoned as starch. Potatoes
give to rs. according to the latest ana
lyses, the old to s being evidently an
error. Onion is I to t. an excellent pro-
portion, though onions are not much in
favor as food. In looking at the relative
values of tlesh-formers and heat-givers in
foods, the actual amount of water must
not be forgotten.

How Far Twenty Cents Will Go.

The wife of the man next door has a
fertile brain, which is kept actively en-
ployed in a variety Of directions. Among
her household goods are dozen of plants
in pots, and II variety of these in u box
mounted on apedestal. The box was got
at the store; the pedestal she and the boy
together made. After it was done she
wanted it painted.
She might have sent it to the painter
for that purpose, but he would charge
more than it was worth. To save the
extra cost she determined to do the work
herself. She could get pound of paint
all mixed in a pot, with brush, for
twenty cents-the pot and brush to be
returned after the work was done. 1t
was IA simple thing to paint. and she
could put it OIL As easily and nicely as a
trained hand could do it. The man next
door didn't think much about it. 1t was
not III his line, but he got the paint
1t was great surprise to the wife of

the pedestal, and how much was left af
ter the work was done What should

for it. Now that she had it she might as
well use it. There was undoubtedly

She looked around for the object in
question. and was not long i'll finding it.
There are more or less dingy battered
articles about a house which coat of
paint would improve. Her house was

holding her securing sand. In few
moments it was delightful green.
Then she looked around for other fields
to conquer, and presently she found them
and continued to find them as long as the
presence OF paint made it necessary to
search for them. She was nearly the
whole afternoon using up that pot of
paint, but it was time well employed.
And 1t was amazing. as she admitted
to herself, how far twenty cents worth of
paint would go, judiciously applied. She
knew her husband would be surprised
when he came home at night at all she
had done.
And he was.
When he observed the green clock-case
and looked at the green paper-rack. and
found that he had a green writing. desk.
and contemplated the green foot stool,
and saw the green coal-Scuttle. and cot
