requiring sufficient sum to be set aside for
the support of four Of the most distinguish
ed scholars at the universities, two at Cam

them, he required that preference should be
given to his own kin, to natives OF Harrow

the first position at the school Is high

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

"Allie's Mistake: A Christmas Story" by Rebecca Gibbons Beach, of this city, author of ssThe Puritan and the Quaker" is story for young people told with much skill and ln a way to interest those also who are no longer young Allie, the hero is little boy who makes the mistake of having secret from his mother. He has only meant to do good by keeping the secret but he makes much trouble both for himself and others, and by a bitter lesson learns that truthfulness and frankness are always best. One of the char acters of the book-'sMammy,'' an old negro woman-is a piece of work that would do credit to any writer. The book throughout is decidedly "readable'' and is healthy in tone Published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd tn bookseller.
 ssAu Round the Year Verses from Sky Farm,'' is the title of the latest collection of the productions of the wonderful child poets, Elaine Goodale and Dora Read Goodale. Those who read this book will be astonished with the amount of true poetry it contains, and will be more than ever convinced that poets are born not made. We should like to make many extracts from the volume, but have room for only one, 8 ''Wind Sonnet.'
 For two long days the wind has beat the air;
 With rushing tumult and undyin force
 Has still pursued it's wild and angry course,
 And left the naples and the elm trees bare.
 The wind-most strange of all things Who shall
 Say where it's resting place, whence it's source
 stilI living onward,epansing, ending where7
 No limit hath the wind it will not stay
 Nor change it's path for any human will;
 Seeming wayward and ungu1ded power;
 Beating along its ever-restless way,
 With stormy sghs the empty air to fill,
 And hushing to 8 whisper in an hour.
 These poems are handsomely published by G. P. Putnam'ssssons, New York, and are for sale in this city by c. R. Coan.
 Studies in the Mountain Instruction ,'' by George Dana Boardman, author of Studies in the Creative Week" 'sStudies in the Model Prayer'' and "Epiphanies of the Risen Lord, J is the title of collection of lectures which will prove very interesting and valua- bic to the students of the Bible who read them. Published by D. Appleton < Co.,, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 Progress and Poverty An Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: The Remedy" by Henry George, has gone through three editions bound in cloth, and the publishers, D. Appleton Co, now issue 2 fourth edition in paper covers. MT. George thinks that with the progress of wealth wages are decreasing, and that the true reme- dy consists in making real estate the property of society in general, or of the State. Mir. Georges bold and acute reasoning has at traetsd great deal of attention and provoked

THE ASSISTANT CLERKsHTP.

New Haven county does not contribute g candidate for the assistant clerkship of the House this year, but there is 8 member of the Yale Law School-A. ". Paige of Dan- bury whose candidacy for the place is, very properly, looked upon with much favor in this county. MT. Paige is excellently quail fled for the position. He is quick and apt, has strong lungs and a strong voice and is a good reader. He is one of the most effective young political workers in the State, and during the last campaign especially was untir- ing in his efforts for the success of the Re- publican party. Judge Brewster of Dan bury says of him ''No one in our senato- rial district, or in our county (Fairfeld), so far as know, has better earned the nomina- tion or has the personal qualifications to fill the office more creditably."
 We are glad to know that many members of the Legislature from this county and oth- CTS have already decided to support Mr. Paige, for he is. a worthy young man, and is bravely working his own way towards an ed- ueation in the law. He would make a first rate assistant clerk

COMMUNICATIONS.

Hats Off i'm the Young Mems Institute. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 90! wad some power the giftie ge us,
 To oursel's others us, etc."
 Should the gentlemen who frequent the Young Mems Institute rooms stop for mo ment and think how unlike and unbecoming a gentleman it is for them to enter there without removing their hats-and here let me say there q few who show that "the ex- ception proves the rule"-I am convinc ed they would do so no more or if they did it would be with conscious feeling and with no little bravado. I understand there are places where hats can be hung, and-as hear some distrustful mortal whisper-if one takes a nice hat by mistake, why the loser must be resigned-think he has lost it in & good cause, and replace it. How many gentlemen would go into their own parlors with hats on? And wherein the Institute rooms differ in this respect I am unable to say. Surely they are graced by the presence of ladies, always by one. Again it is exerting influence in the wrong direction our boys. SWhat they see their elders do, they will also. Will the gentlemen please consider the subject and please at least one LADY.

WOOdcock.
[Trom Chambers' Journal. l


 The woodcock is not generally considered 8 difficult bird to bring down when on the wing and yet perhaps, there is no bird so often missed even by the surest and most ex- perienced sportsmen. Many good snipe shots constantly miss fair chances at woodcock, and this is easily accounted for. The flight of the snipe, though swift and twisting, is, gen. orally speaking, at much about the same rate of speed, but not so with the woodcock. There is not more uncertain bird in this re- spect. Sometimes, when aroused by the beaters from his dark retreat under some dark holly bush, momentarily dazzled by the bright autumn sun, he flaps out very owl to all appearance, and offering the easiest of chances to the nearest sportsman, and down he drops to the first shot. But the next bird, perhaps an old stager who has been flushed and fired at before, suddenly darts out with exceeding swiftness, and, observing his enc mics posted in front he curls round over covert with extraordinary speed. Bang! bang! go the guns-a feather or two are left floating in the air, but the bird himself runs the gauntlet almost untouched, and makes good his escape

Glacial Periods.

Mir. H. B. Norton, in recent lecture be- fore the Kansas Academy of Science, gave some interesting calculations repecting the glacial epochs through which the North American continent has passed, based largely upon the theories of CrolI and Geikie. In his closing paragraph he remarks Ut thus seems probable that there have been many glacial periods in each hemisphere, and that the ocean, like mighty pendulum, vibrates from pole to pole through vast but regular periods It is not necessary to suppose catacasm at the end of each period as some of the earlier writers did but rather, an in sensible drainage of waters, which grad ually submerges the land and pushes the human race before it as hardly to be percept- ible in the course of generations, even uncov- ering new continents, and opening up fresh fields and pastures new to human industry, when the old are exhausted. The southern hemisphere is now undergoing the slow re- frigeration of it's long winter. This began about 6, 300 years ago; it will end about the year 487O It has passed it's middle but not its continuation, even as the greatest average cold of our ordinary winter is nearer the vef- nal equinox than the winter solstice. It Is probable that 2,000 years from now the southern continents will be still more deeply deluged the Antarctic ice-cap will have ex- tended several hundred miles to the north ward, and the glaciers which have already appeared among the Andes will have covered the plateaus of Patagonia and Chih. Never theless, we need not expect that mankind will then witness the-utmost possible degree of refrigeration because the ellipticity of the earth's orbit is now less than it has been at certain periods in the past, and will be again in the remote future"

time the best mine in the camp, he erected
an arastra on it, but worked out all the
pay ore in a quicksilver tank, which left
his arastra with nothing to do. Now his

MARRYING A LORD,
And what Came of 1.-THE Old
story.

story.
The San Jose Times states that a COM
plant was recently filed in the Superior
Court by William L. Gill, counsel for Mrs.
Mary II. Franklyn, in a suit brought by
Mrs. Franklyn to obtain a divorce from her
husband, Henry NJ. Franklyn, on the
ground OF desertion. Mrs. Franklyn is the
daughter Of the late Major Hensley, de-
ceased, formerly one of the rich men of
San Jose. She met Franklyn while travel
ing in Europe, and their acquaintance cul-
minated in an engagement. b returned
homeward, and shortly afterward her noble
fiance came, also, to claim the hand and
fortune Of his betrothed. Miss Hensley
was then one Of the reigning bellies OF San
Jose society, and heiress to a large fortune
in her own right. The match was not
favorably looked upon by the friends Of
the young lady, but the die was cast, and
they were married without ostentation.
FRANKLIN took his young bride to
Europe, where he soon squandered her
fortune, and she became the sad victim Of
the most unfeeling neglect. They remained
q while in Paris, where, it was said, he
s~candalized all with whom he was connect
ed, by leading a profigate life, and spend
ing his wife's money among ~disreputable
companionship. Finally, Mrs. Franklin
returned home, and now she seeks to have
the bonds Of matrimony between herself
and her husband dissolved.
