 correspondent of the Baltimore (Afd. Sun writes from Cornwall Plain The con- viction that slowly forces it's way into my mind is that, after all there is no great differ ence between the Yankee and the Southerner, except this-that here sterile soil and an inhospitable cline developed habits of indus try and economy which have become part of the mental and moral frame of the New Eng lander, while with genial cline, produc- tive lands and abundant servants encouraged the love of ease, the habit of spending and of being waited on. Very noteworthy is the fact, daily forced upon me, that these people have hands, know what to do with them and do it.

The Coming Trotter.

Maud s. has been so often pen pictured that any extended notice would be superduous, but as the thorough-blood and trotting- blood advocates discussed her at length after her wonderful performances of 2:174 at four years old, we will give our impressions of her. A chestnut, or golden sorrel, 154 to 154 hands, she is not a Hambletonian and by no means a Harold in appearance, but in general appearance type of the thoroughbred, possibly breeding back to Boston; head of fair size, clean cut and handsome; ear of good size but handsome ely tapered and blood-ike; good length of neck, with good length of barrel; broad, strong, loin-coupling well back, or, rather, the ''spinal process long back of the compiling" like St. Julien, her croup, consequently, too short for perfect lines of beauty. We failed to detect any indications of an infrme leg or feet, as has been so often claimed. She wears fourteen ounce shoe and four ounce toe-weight, and light shoe behind. She wears tendon shin boots toward and quarter r-boots behind. She wears scalpers and shin and pastern boots. We remember one prominent writer states that ''the thorough-blood in her has overcome the Canuck tendency, through Pilot, Jr., to high knee action. 3 If were to criticise her action at all, we should say she had an excess of knee action; certainly much more than St. Iu1io

Billings Business.
! A Tale of Devotion to the Highest Science. | From the Hartford Courant.]

Tale of Devotion to the Highest Science,
 [Frem the Hartford Courant.I
 Henry Billings had inherited from his hard. working father small but respectable prop erty, on the income of which The supported himself. The sweat of his face depended up on the thermometer, not upon his muscles, and he was able to give his attention to keep ing abreast of the culture and progress of his time. An unlucky turn, however. suddenly wiped out all but trifie of the Billings pat rimony, and he found he must do something more than to cultivate and progress.
 Billings had ideas. We will not say he was a perfectionist, for he was not that in the re- igious sense which makes one worry over his probable lonesomeness in heaven. But he believed knowledge was power and that no one could do anything well who did not un- derstand his work in all it's bearings and was not fitted for it's every phase. He had taken the keenest interest, long before it made its way into law, in the subject of the examina- tion of railroad engineers for color blindness He urged the most searching tests with the strongest of arguments.
 'sAn engineer, D be would say, 'tmay be able to distinguish red and green-the only railroad signals perfectly, but what of that Red and green are only two out of the seven cardinal colors. At best the man is, fye-sev- enths lacking. Suppose his other senses were, under some kind device of nature for securing perfect uniformity, suddenly put on 6 level with his sense of color. He would be useless! Suppose his body to be reduced in

Plea for the State House.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It does appear strange that community who have reputation for good taste and judgment should for moment seriously con sider the idea of pulling down the State House. Surely it has come to seem like an old friend to those who have known it for the past half century or more, connecting the present with the past in it's varied associa- tions of men who have left their impress on our State and country, of fairs and festivals, of trials great and small, of sessions of as- semblies which for years have convened inits halls. Suppose it has a little age do not our American people seem to have a mania for old ruins found in their journey ings, and yet are bound to obliterate aught that savors of age at home Really the structure is considered by judges to be one of the finest specimens of architecture in our city and to destroy it, even if it could not be utilized, would seem almost like sacrilege. In view of the memories which cluster around it, standing as it does a monument of by gone days, we say:
 Preserve the old State House, let the land mark
 main,
 It recalls the days of our childhood again.
 With it's gray massive walls and it's columns grand
 It raised by sres, and "thera lot it stand"

Scarcity of Native Oysters in England.

No one in England who has not a3 900 a year (unless he is very extravagant) eats oysters now. There are coarse natures of the same class that eat wheIks ,who condescend to the Medina or the Dutch oyster, but they are melodies. The exquisite t'native was formerly the precursor of all good dinners. Don't you remember how Mrs Niekleby speaks of the gentleman who always ate 8 couple of dozen Holsters before dinner to give him an appetite, but it is now almost total stranger to my palate. Under these circumstances the article in the Medical Record this week, ssWhy We Eat Oysters Raw, ? is not only superfuous but mere mockery and insult What use is it to tell us that the combination of it's ''glycogen" and the ''hepatic diastase'' IS exceedingly wholesome? It may be so, though if it is it is one of the few cases where nice thing turns out to be wholesome; but what does it matter if one is never to taste it again?

The PlRtnvtlIe Camp-ieet1nS.
 Arrangements for the camp-meeting at Plainville, which commences at 2:3O p. m. on Monday, are nearly completed. The settees and chairs have been taken out of the cor poration building and placed in position. The large canvas which covers the boarding house is up. The tables are arranged so that 150 can be seated. Previous to last year the priv ilege of keeping the boarding house was rent ed by the trustees for a given sum. Last year the trustees took charge of the purchases and ran it in behalf of the corporation. The trus- tees are induced to continue the same ar engagements and will have the entire charge of its management this year. It will be the aim of those in charge of the supplies for the table to buy only first-class articles, the best cuts of beef, fresh cured hams, pure coffee, fresh vegetables, etc. Persons not wishing regular board will be supplied with tea, cof- fee, pies, cake, etc., at the refreshment stand. From Camp Station there will be stages to convey passengers to the encampment for ten cents. The religious services will be in charge of Rev. George A. Hubbell, presiding elder of the New Haven district. It is ex- pected that most of the preachers stationed in the district will be present and take part in the services, and large and profitable meeting is anticipated.

Prompt attention is given to all cases of distress re- ported to the ofice and personal attention and advice given to all who are in trouble who may call at the Central office, 47 Court street. The cases needing special visiting at their homes are promptly investigated and ways provided for help being given when found necessary.
 The employment department for able-bodied men is kept in such condition that no person seeking help is refused, but in all cases work is offered. We call special attention to this It having been reported to us by residents in the city who have been solicited to give help to tramps and others, that application for help had been made to us by these persons and had been refused, we wish to state that in no single case has this been done. Able-bodied men have called and asked for assistance ,and when work has been offered them they have refused to do it, stating they did not want the work, preferring to live upon the charity of others rather than work for their own living. We wish to call the attention of citizens to this, so that if any such statements are made by those soliciting aid they may at all times fer them to us
