CONCENTRATIONS.
Thanks and n Protest.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The employees on the Consolidated road one and all heartily thank you for espousino their cause in regard to the severe test which they are being subjected to to see if they are color-blind, which test is not practical one What we want is test before a co1npetent body of railroad men, ,::under the supervision Of the Railroad Commissioners, withuwhite. red or green flags by day or the same colors by night with lanterns.
 We do not blame Dr. Carmalt, for he is acting under orders from the Health Board of the State, but we think he ought to mod fly the test so as to try us practically out on the road, and then if we are found incapable we will step down and out We deem it un just, after serving the company faithfully and to their satisfaction for periods ranging from ten to thirty year to be thrown out of en- ployment for so simple a reason as that we cannot sort out worsteds, or tell letters three eighths of an inch long placed from fifteen to twenty feet distant, and satisfy other tests of similar character. We again thank you for taking up the gauntlet in our favor and hope that you will not throw it down without suf- fcient reason. These are the sentiments of one and all of the employees of the Consolidated road. M

A Reply to ssTaxpayer.o

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 When reading the sore complaints made by Taxpayer" because of the wages paid to school teachers, have felt like asking if he ever had experience in teaching or being in contact with the many minds until his nerves rebelled from exhaustion. Teachers then go home with hands full of papers ito be cor rected, " which gives them work outside of school hours. The female teachers earn all the money they get. The principals occupy high position, and ought to have good pay Taxpayer must grieve to see the Irishmen employed to clean the streets leaning on their hoes most of the time chatting, and smoking, sure that the 'job'' will continue all the longer. And is he not concerned lest his taxes are unnecessarily increased to pay the salary of the Mayor and other city and State officers {? Or is his uncommon anxiety, for some especial reason, only bestowed upon the salary of the school teacher? I think it is evident where the ''shoe pinehes" X.

HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light

 New Haven. pr. LighthiIl takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the consid- eratiOn of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. MI. Cox, an old and prominent resident of New Haven.
New Haven.
A Happy Experience.

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.) l We take pleasure in presenting to our road l CTS the following card from Mir. T. M. Cox,
 an old resident of New Haven, and gentle
 man highly respected and widely known in
 our business and social circles The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light
 hills treatment Is full of interest and will be
 deservedly accepted by our community with
 the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. Lighthilrs ability and skill, and cannot
 fail to establish him in public confidence NEW HAvEN July g. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthin and the past thirty-six years had been troubled
 with @ catarrhal complaint which was very
 annoying and often interfered with my swal-
 lowing and breathing. Of late years it at
 tackled my hearing, inlpairing it to eonsid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in
 creasing upon me it subjected me to serious
 inconvenience. One of Dr. Lghthilrs pa-
 tients, finding himself greatly benefited by
 his treatment, advised me to place myself un-
 der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection l and acuteness. I know Dr. Jighthill's repu- l tation is so well known that any recommen-
 I feel like discharging 8 duty to the afflicted
 in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub
 lie statement of my case, that others may
 be enabled to embrace this opportunity of
 obtaining relief.
 l My happy experience of the results of Dr. Iighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that a few min
 utes' conversation with Dr. LightniIl will con- l vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is 1 master of his professioa.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riably be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lghthill's professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

Very touching stories are told concerning both the nominees for the presidency, but tale narrated recently by Virginia stump orator, and now doing duty in the columns of Southern papers in working up Hancock sentiment is hardly equalled by anything yet related of Garfield. 'tIt was after the surrender of Lee,' said the orator, land the federal troops were moving along Virginia roaR beside which stood two old men, far mers, too old to have been in the ranks of the rebel army They had been reduced al- most to beggary, their lands made worthless, their buildings and stock destroyed mount ed officer rode along and courteously saluted the old men. He entered into conversation with them. He was smoking cigar at the time. One of the men, wishing to conceal his grief pulled out a cob pipe and essayed to light it :; but tears streamed from his eyes, and his hand trembled so that he could not hold the match steady enough to accomplish his purpose. He betrayed his agitation. The officer theteupon threw himself from his horse, and, seizing the old mans pipe, placed the lighted end of his cigar upon the tobacco and held it steadily until it was light ed. He then said: Go now in peace go to work, build up the South again, and no one shall molest you That officer was Winfield Scott Hancock"

Mir. Jennings, the London correspondent Of the New York World, complains of the great degenerscy of morals and manners which has taken place in England in the lat ter days of the reign of Victoria. He com pares the present period not only with the days of the Prince Regent, but of Louis XV. of France and the Restoration in England, not in grossness of manner and speech, but in cynical contempt of good character and the impunity which known immor- ality enjoys Aristocratio ladies against whose characters scandal has become certainty, are not only received but sought for in the best society, and only on some ex- ceptional publicity they condemned or ostracised. '"rhe Prince of Wales set'' is notorious as collection of rowdy and dissi- pated young noblemen, and the whole tone of the higher society in London is such as has called forth the indignant invective of John Bright. All this is very different from the early years of the reign of Queen Victoria, when the Lady Flora Hastings was done to death by slanderous tongues, and no woman, who had been divorced for whatever cause, could approach the virtuous skirts of royalty. And it will not help royalty and the aristoc- rscy in their struggle with the people.

The opposition of the Boers in the Trans vaal to the British has found expression in this singular circular: ''We have tried eve " constitutional means for recovering the country and independence of which we were robbed by the English, and we are not strong enough in numbers to fight the Brit ish nation we have determined to take anoth- CT method of bringing them to their senses. The people of the country (the Africanders) have pledged themselves, as whole, neither to buy from nor sell to the English in the Transvaal or South African Republic but to do their utmost to divert the trade of the country into other channels, and for this purpose the Africanders are starting com pany, with a capital of $25o,o ,ooO to commence with, intending to import all goods for con sumption from the cheapest and best mar kets, England excepted and as America has most of the goods in demand here, American exporters of soft and hard goods are kindly requested to forward their catalogues and price-lists to M.

 If there is any money in it the Africanders will get help in their fight against British commerce.

The German military authorities do not fEd as much good flood for powder" in the manu- featuring towns of the Country as they want
 The commissions at work in several such towns for the examination and drafting of the annual levies have reported the results of their recently terminated labors as being of unusually unsatisfactory character. At Barmen, for instance, seven hundred and six young men, who, upon the completion of their twentieth year, presented themselves at the local headquarters in order that their fit ness for service might be submitted to the customary tests, only yielded one hundred and fifteen recruits for the line and nine for the Guard. Of the remainder, four hundred and fifty-fve were dismissed to their homes as permanently disqualified from serving their country in arms, and one hundred and twen- ty-seven were relegated to the reserves of the first and second class. The main causes of rejection were constitutional debility and physical deformities A large number of these pallid, feeble lads, moreover, was found to consist of married men, not infrequently fathers of one or two children born in we'd
 lock- This fact has suggested to the military authorities the expediency of recommending to the Reichstag, next session, law prohibit ing marriages to youths liable to army service until they shall have completed such service or attained the full age of twenty-three.

Henry Garter, better known by his
adopted name, Frank Leslie, died on
Saturday evening ate o'clock, at his
late residence, No. 5ll Fifth avenue,
New York city. His death was
caused 10y complicated diseases, and
his wife said it was FASTENED by the
veXation caused by a recent lawsuit
with his son Henry. His vitality was
so great that as late as Friday last he
prepared the plan for his pictorial
journal, and yesterday morning he
dressed, walked about the room and
partook of a hearty meal. Toward
the afternoon his condition became
more critical, he gradually sank into
unconsciousness, and about 4 o'clock
was able only to recognize his wife. He
died calmly and without any pain. He
was born at IpswicL, England, in
1921.
