HamdeM and the Canal lR2ilrOad--SOme R
 Reasons why Hamden Should Sus-
 tain the Resolutions Passed Dec. S.,
 1879.
 f'o tbe Editor ef the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 First. The meeting was;fairly warned and largely attended by the best citizens and heaviest taxpayers of the town, the Selectmen taking unusual pains to notify voters of the meeting by having the call printed and circu- lated in every district.
 After an able discussion, the opposition party speaking at least four times, the resolu- tions were passed by 8 large majority. As for the supposition that no appropriation would be made at that meeting, no one had authority to say what would be done, the voters of the town being fully competent to say what resolutions should be carried. Second. Every voter present. who could do sum in simple interest," knew just how much would have to be paid at 8 certain rate of in terest so there could be no deception on that account.
 Third. The Selectmen, who are the inan- cial as well as the general agents of the town, are especially instructed to make the best terms possible for the town, and can, if they choose, have the notes drawn payable at the option of the town.
 Fourth. The village of CentrevilIe has other accommodations that are of far more value to it than it's present railroad facilities, the railroad company, am informed, receiv- ing less than half dollar day from it's pat ronage, and the proximity of New Haven en- ables the citizens of Oentreville to obtain their freight at less cost than it can be delivered to them by the railroad company. When ''the world moves fast enough to enable them to use their five valuable water powers D they can be accommodated with an especial 1aodir1n fS, Naw HQvap xubi1f, $Eo cars drawn by dummy engine can run many times day.
 Fifth. s'The climax of blunders" was no blunder at all, since, as every one knows, the

 It is related of well-known merchant of 8 neighboring city that, after making his will and leaving large property to a trustee for his son, he called the young man in and after reading the will to him, asked if there was any alteration or improvement he could suggest. "Well, father" said the young gentleman, lighting 8 cigarette, II think, as things go nowadays, it would be better for me if you left the property to the other fellow and made me the trustee" The old gentleman made up his mind then and there that the young man was quite competent to take charge of his own inheritance, and scratched the trus- tee clause out.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

The list of 'tmysterious disappearances" recorded in the books of the New York police for 1879 includes the names of over three hun dred persons of whom there is no record2 that they were ever found. Very few persons are, however, actually and permanently lost, and it is probable that most of the three hundred re- ferred to have been found.

with the above assertion it is necessary
that 1 should inform the reader how it
was that was member of the New
York delegation to the democratic con-
vention held in Baltimore some time
ago.
One evening in the latter part of May
was seated with my wife in our pretty
house on Eight street, enjoying fra
grant cup of tea-for if there is one
thing am a good judge of it is tea. My
wife had been shopping, and while L
was slipping my Hyson favored with

purchases. She was expatiating on a
"love of a bonnet" when we were both
startled by a violent ring at the bell,
and in minute or two afterward a
servant entered, informing me that Mr..
Lawrence Ardew wished to see me
Immediately. AS Ardew was particu-
lar friend of mine Immediately ordered
him to be admitted.
"Gunby," said Ardew, as soon as he
had paid his respects to my wife-I
should have told you before that my
name in Jonathan Gunby--" Gunby, 1

want money.

Ardew.

The Moss industry in Louisiana.

The Louisiana moss industry IS one Of
the important industries Of New
Orleans, and, as such, demands some at
tention ut the hands Of the press. In
common with I'LL southern manufacture
iug interests, it has its days of flush
and its davs Of gloom IN business At
present, however, the depression seems
about over, and the trade IS attaining its
former respectable proportions. The
history OF the manipulation of moss is
very simple It is gathered mostly by
negroes, who devote 4 spare hour Of the
day to such work. After tree is strip
ped It is allowed to rest for seven years,
during which period Of time the moss re
news itself. Cypress moss Is preferred,
as it is the longest and most tenacious
of all the varieties. After the moss is
gathered it is placed in a sunny spot,
and left month to the action
Of the wind and weather. At the
the end Of the time the grayish bark
peaIs off, leaving the hair almost clean.
some Of the moss requires no manipula-
ton, while other assortments are. IN
weight, moro than half dry After be-
ing thus dried the material Is sold to
the plantation store-kecper or Che cross
road groceryman, and the gatherer re
ceivcs from l 20 cents pound for it,
according to the quality. The stuff is
baIed and brought to tie city for manu-
faeture After the moss reaches the fac
tory it is subjected to the action of the
washer, which is large cylindrical ar
rangemeut with a wheel inside, which
pulls the moss hither and thither, and
dashes it through vat Of boiling water
and soap until the stuff is cleaned.
Then it is hung upon the racks to dry.
This done, it is put into the buster, fan
mill, which entirely removes the dust
that may have survived the washing pro-
cess. As "A result, the moss comes into
the factory yellow in color and goes out
inky black. The article is then made up
into bales according to quality, and LET
tered with single, double, treble, and
quadruple Ks. The highest grade,
NXNN, can hardly be distinguished from
the finest and choicest horse hair. The
other grades arc consumed mostly in
