 When Mrs. Thrasher said she had had three husbands, all of whom had enlisted in the army a spiteful old maid was mean enough to suggest that it showed what kind of wife Mrs. Thrasher was.-Boston Post.

 ''Can I give my son a college education at home ?" asks fond parent. Well, you may be able to teach him as much of Greek and Latin and mathematics as the college could, but you never can so thoroughly imbue him with the idea that everybody else is 8 blamed fool-B0sto1l Post.

--------- The Senatorial Districts.

The commi,tees bill to redist,ict the State, by m t neca of "gerryInander1ng. nd gerrymsndering of tne t i fi, f P4ss ''ie tb h ot people in district-but proceeds exclusively on the ore % oolsce CT 70 Q eu.ng up the ing districts to make the Sepats possible par tsan Republic body every time regardless of the people of the State.-Hartf0rd Times
 The unfairness of this criticism must be apparent to every intelligent person who ex- amines the committees bill. In the first place, as is well known, there were several things which the committee could not do j; namely:
 | CD They could not divide a town. (2) They could not join the whole or part of any county to the whole or part of an- other county.
 (3.) They could not reduce the number of Senatorial districts in @ county to less than two.
 4,) It could not increase the number of districts beyond 24.
 These constitutional prohibitions make it absolutely impossible for any committee to s.equalize'' the districts as whole. All that could be done, evidently, was to equalize dis tricts within county lines, as nearly as could be done without dividing towns. Manifestly, where there is city having a population equal to two or three ordinary Senatorial dis tricts nothing could be done under the law, except to make such city district by itself, as has been done in the cases of Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport.
 The IImes complains because this has been done, just as though any other plan were pos sible It says the committee have given to New Haven .'but one Senator for 63, GOO peo- ple'' Will the Iinaes please explain how it would have been possible to have given more than one Senator? We very sure if plan can be discovered the committee will willingly give both New Haven and Hartford two Senators each, as they should have. But the 1Emes knows it is impossible to do other tricts, unless by adding towns the inequality os the districts is made more glaring.
 Taking out these cities the only feasible method of equalizing the remaining districts of county has been adopted. Let us glance at the result The population of Hartford county, not including Hartford, is S2, ,S24 This is to be divided into three districts. If the division could be made mathematically each district would contain 27, sos inhabi- tants. Working under the restrictions inn posed by the constitution of not dividing any town, the committee present three districts containing 27, BAY; 26, 598 and 28,379. This would seem to be an improvement over the present division of 70, 37I; 2s, 883 and 26, IFS.
 Now let us look at New Haven county, in which New Haven with its 62, 8S2 people is made district by itself. The remainder of the county has 93, GA inhabitants, and an e1- act division into three districts would give each 31, ,214. The division made by the com

the preservation of the public health, which
 watches closely the articles sold for food, and from time to time has samples chemical
 ly analysed. Investigations of this charac-
 ter were conducted on an extensive scale during the past year. Of milk, $50 speci-
 mems were analysed. Most of it had been skinned and diluted with water Some had come from diseased COWS, and some was thickened with borax, soda and soap. But- ter was analysed to the extent of 21O sam ples. All of it contained an excessive pro- portion of water, and much of it was adul- terated with beef fat, lard CT stearine. Lard, coming from America and Hungary, had bo- rax and lime. Of HOO specimens of Hun garian and Austrian wine, 52 were artificial connections. Artificial coloring matter and excessive proportions of water were found in many. Pilsner beer contained soda, and Vienna beer glycerine. Of Iqse,trs, B had traces of arsenic or copper, besides injurious favoring and pertaining ingredients. Ground chicory. Even bread was badly adulterated.
 The Toronto Globe announces that present indications point to one of the most persist ent and widespread agitations ever known in Canada for the adoption of the prohibitory system. The Maine law is the inspiration of this, but the Globe complains with good req son, that it is almost impossible to know what the Maine law has effected, either for good or ill, during the many years in which it has been in operation. Statistics on both sides are so positive, but at the same time so absolutely contradictory that they puzzle much more than they inform. The Globe, however, has hit upon plan which is, per. haps, novel, but which ought to prove prac- tical for getting at the facts of this much dis puted question. It proposes to send to Maine, as special commissioners, two thor ough journalists, ,one of whom strongly favors the license system, while the other believes in prohibition and has voted for prohibit tory law. They are to make their investiga- tions in company, and so will have the same or nearly the same facts as the bases of their conclusions Where they aWive at the same result it may be assumed that the premises would admit of no other, but where their in- ferences vary, the reader will be able to draw his own conclusions with the benefit of sim ultaneous testimony to aid him. The result of this inquiry ought to be valuable.

The New Orleans Tunes gives it's readers something profitable to think about and act upon when it says: t'We may as well make up our minds to it. New Orleans, unless content to see herself outstripped by cities of yesterday, must become a Yankee city, just as New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Chicago are Yankee cities T1se Yankee cities are the rich and prosperous cities. They have found out how to grow and how to win. There can be no great city on the continent of North America hereafter that is not a Yankee city. That is very certain. The Yankee cities somehow have the capital, the enterprise, the organizing power, the skill that gets on.''

 built at once, as they are ne eded to haul ma terial for the construction of the railroad, and the others will be hurried along as fast as possible the understanding being that the
 last shall be ready for shipment before Jan l, 1883. The 200 locomotives will cost about $1, 500, 900, and the first thirty are to
 be the most powerful machines ever turned

 A decision particularly interesting in these 'smoving'' times has been rendered by an English court. A MT. Pincoffs was named by a Mir. Stephenson as his reference when he applied for wharf to it's owner, MT. Crew. This landlord thereup on wrote to ask whether Stephenson was tru stworthy tenant. The reply was: tI have known MT. Stephenson for many years in business and personally and consider him reliable tenant, whom should myself accept" On the faith of this MT. Crew leased the wharf to Mr. Stephen son, and thereby Mir. Crew lost 8 certain amount of rent through Stephsnson's be- coming bankrupt On the 18th instant the judge and jury held that Mr. Pin.soffs stands liable to Mir. Crew in all losses which he may have sustained through MT. Stephenson's default, so far as the rent of the wharf and the rates and taxes payable in respect of it may be concerned And yet MT. Pincoffs supposed he was merely doing his friend g good turn in the way of general recom- mendation.
