RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The most important paper in Sc1161aer's for December is Mr. F. B. Thurber's upon 1.-The Railroads and the People" It deserves care ful reading. The number begins with the first of a series of illustrated papers on Pa risian art, and there is next bright paper on Sheridan's play, 1.-The Rivals, by Mir. J. Brander Mathews, with portraits, in charac. ter dress, of Mir. Jefferson and Mrs. John Drew as Bob Acres and Mrs. Malaprop. Hunting the Honey Bee" is pleasing study of its subject. The second installment is given of Mr. Eugene Schuyler's ''Peter the Great as Ruler and Reformer," :" and there is travel paper of an especially attractive sort called Montenegro as We Saw It, ," freely and finely illustrated Finally, there is the second of MT. Henry Hatton's illustrated arti- cles on ''The Secrets of Conjuring," beside a little poem, ''The American Girl," which gives occasion for the introduction of a charming picture The life of Millet, the publication of which is notable undertaking like that of MT. Schuyler's work, has ad- vanced to it's fourth chapter; of the articles not illustrated the most important are ''Un- der the Glacier" by Professor Boyesen ''One Duck, Potomac Sketch," by John Burroughs "A Study in Apparent Death, '' by MT.

 Prof Josiah Parsons Cooke of Harvard College believes that 'tthe existence of an in- telligent Author of nature, infinite in wisdom and absolute in power, may be proved from the phenomena of the ma. erial world with as much certainty as can be any theory of science" This is the motive of his work en- titled Religion and Chemistry" first pub lished in 1861, and now reissued by the Scribners in newly revised edition. The author has found no reason to change his conclusions since he wrote the book. The discovery of new facts has necessitated some change in phraseology, and more experience has led to greater caution in the statement of conclusions, but the argument and the result remain the same. The work will be vel comed as a valuable assistant to those who are combating the materialistic tendencies of thought at the present day. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

Napoleon Rogers Victory,

Napoleon Rogers lived with his parents in the beautiful city of Titusville, on the banks of..Ol Creek. Napoleon was young and am- bilious. He was smitten by the charms of Lucinda Merkel. After an ardent courtship he took his case to MT. Merkel, the father o the fair Lucinda. Adolph Merkel was mer- chant and had accumulated gold galore, while Napoleon was poor as an outside refner.
 ''No !"said the father, sternly. ''You, who cannot support yourself, have no right to ask for the hand of my daughter. Cop and he spurned him with his boot.

Those who have ''great expectations founded upon estates in England which they are told belong to them can learn useful lesson from recent decision in the Chsncery division of the English High Court of Justice. An eiectment> action was brought against Earl Howe, from whom property worth some S2O, GOO, ,OO0 to say nothing of the accumula- tions, was claimed on the ground that Rich ard Curzon the first Earl, was the illegiti- mate child of Ann Oaks, and not the son of Penn Curzon and heir-at-law to William Jen- nens, who died in 1796. The Vice Chancellor threw out the case without calling on the de- fense for reply, saying it was great pity the plaintiff should have spent his money and time in prosecuting claims which were entire ly without foundation. A similar fate befen an action concerning William Jennens. per sonal estate, the Vice Chancellor stigmatizing the proceedings as ''vexatious' after the de- cision delivered in the same case in 1867.
 For forty-two years in Calais, Maine, the temperate order loving, law abiding portion of the people have been striving to put a stop to rumselling and drunkenness. The people have tried moral suasion, and they have tried legal suasion, but to no effect. It was asserted by many that the end could not be accomplished while liquor was so freely to be had in St. Stephens, a New Brunswick town just across the river, for if the sale of liquor could be temporarily stopped in Calais, people could step across the bridge to St. Stephen and get whatever kind and quantity they might desire. St. Stephen has now stringent prohibitory law of her own, and it is enforced to the letter. It is stated that 1t is almost an utter impossibility for traveller to obtain glass of liquor in the town at any price. Not so in Calais. Here iqpor Is sold in several places on the main street of the city, and the dealers have done thriving business, night and day, for months past. The Maine law is evidently not the grand success that some call it.
 The comparatively small vote of Rhode Handsome %, 1000 out of 8 male popula= tion of about 79,0o0 more than twenty one years old-has again called attention to the suffrage laws of the State. The extreme con seryatism of the State is demonstrated by the fact that for only the last forty years has she had constitution of her own, but continued under the old colonial charter of 1868. Under the old system the voters in-

cluded only the possessors of real estate to
 the value of $134 and their eldest sons. So far as it applied to natives the provision was abrogated in 1S43, but the real estate qualifi-
 cation was continued in the case of aliens. The discrimination was not felt to be hard ship when it was first adopted, because there were only few persons of foreign birth in | the State. But the government is now in the l hands of a minority the condition of affairs
 having changed with the growth of the man ufacturing industries. Another curious re-
 striction is imposed by the law which re- quires poll tax of one dollar to be paid by
 the second Tuesday of January in order to l entitle anybody to vote during the ensuing year. Many citizens through accident or | carelessness are disqualified through neglect | to pay this tax.
 Those of our readers who have seen Lester Wallack act, and are ambitious to attain 8 place upon the stage equal to his will be glad | to know how he has won success. He was asked by reporter to what he ascribed his present position in the dramatic profession | and answered s'To hard work, drudgery and constant study. I resigned the pleasure of the mess table to live on paltry salary of one pound ten week. Obiecting to any de- pendence on family influence I assumed the
 name of John Lester, by which I was known ] for several years Many and many a time when have been on circuit in England, after a late performance, have started for the next town on the route, studying a new part by the dim light of lantern hanging in
 the omnibus which conveyed the company
 I only mention this circumstance to indicate
 the hard work that every man and woman
 who expects to become successful in our pro-
 fesSion must undergo, and as a suggestion to
 the numerous embryo Romeos, Juliets and
 Sir Charles Coldstreams by whom I am
 weekly visited, who are ambitious to become
 suddenly famous, that there is no royal lad
 der to eminence on which they can climb
 without first creeping up the bottom rounds D
 Most successful men, be they actors or in any other line of life, owe their successlarge- ly to hard work.

COMMUNICATIONS.
A Greenbacker,s Protest.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The Greenbaekers and Socialists held a meeting Friday evening, the 18th, in the h. surance building, with reference to nominat- ing city and town ticket, and five or six of the Socialists prevented us from doing any business. They did not want to put a ticket in the field at this coming election c. stodel acted very unbecomingly at that meet ing. The chairman called him to order sev- eral times and he would not comply, but he was backed up by a few others But think that some politicians put him up to act so their chances to office would be poor with three parties in the field. So the hon. est Greenback men withdrew from the meet ing, and we intend to make nominations, and hope that every man in New Haven will stand by the oath that he has taken, that is to vote for the best interests of the country, fearlessly, conscientiously and manfully.

l. We note the continuance of our Dress Goods Sale. The 25c lot is conspicuous on account of the variety and excellence of the materials. The soc lot comprises goods that are really worth $1.OO. The 75c lot is really the cheapest intrinsically. The Silk and Wool Novelties which are included at this price cannot be matched. For house dresses or morning wrappers nothing could be more desirable, and yards is enough on account of the double width. Many of the styles cost $2.OO yard.
 H. We note the opening of several cases of Wool Hose. Now is good time to make selections while the sizes are all complete and the assortment of colors unbroken. Having sold our stock well down we were enabled last week to make good bargains being in a position to buy large quantities at a time when manufacturers are anxious to close out.
 III. We note the fact that the prices of our Underwear this season are lower than any we have had the opportunity of compar- ing them with. If those in need of such goods will take the trouble to investigate the matter, they will. not wonder that .=Se make this statement so emphatically. Our stock was never so complete as now. Several ca- ses have just been received.
 ". We note the Knitted Goods stock par ticularIy Invoices from the best makers are. now ready for sale. Mitts, Gloves, Nubias, Jackets, Geggings, Hoods, &c., &c., in great variety.
 V. We note the arrival of new Cloakings, soft, thick, warm goods for the cold weather that is surely coming. We are adding daily to our stock of Cloaks, Dolmans, Listers, Jackets and Havelocks, all at our usual low prices.
 VI. We note the replenishing of our Silk stock Satin de Lyon at S1.25 unsurpassed. Black Silk Velvets unusually good value. All the shades of Satins in demand. We offer Black Silks at present extremely low. They are really cheap now, whatever the reason is, we think good Black Silks never have been on the market cheaper and certainly Silk Velvets are cheap. At $4.0O yard we show 27 inch goods that seem worth $G.00 yard. We invite inspection of our stock.

Consul Byers, of Zurich, Switzerland, sends to the Department of State an inter-
 esting synopsis of the new factory law re- gently adopted by the Swiss confederation.
 This law marks great advance achieved by the laboring class in securing the ameliora- tion of their condition, and proper guard ianship by the state of their interests The provisions of the law, covering as they do many details, indicate that there was neces- sity for the enactment The most notable sections are as follows Section l requires all factory owners to give prompt and detail ed information to the local authorities of all
 bodily injuries or deaths occurring in their establishments, which shall be investigated and reported to the officers of the canton
 Section , makes the owners liable in damages for any injuries or deaths which may happen to the employees while engaged in the line of duty, unless such caused by the careless ness or disobedience of the employe. Section Il fixes the maximum period of labor at eleven hours, beginning at a. m. in winter and 5 a. m. in summer. Section 16 provides that no child under fourteen years of age shall be employed in any factory. Section IS provides for national inspectors of manu- factories. There is considerable opposition among both laborers and mill owners to some of these provisions. The laborers want ten hours as the maximum period, and the ployers think that children might be en- ployed very advantageously under fourteen. As compromise measure the present law seems to please neither party, but it is garded by the more thoughtful and disinter- ested as very encouraging advance upon the old regulations. It certainly secures among the 5000 mills and factories, employing more than 100000 operatives, very thorough su- pervision by the government over the health and lives of the working class.
