RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The History of the Colony of New Haven
 Edward B. Atwater, is one of the best works
 of it's kind that we know of. It is full, accu-
 rate and readable. Those who know any, thing about New Haven can find much enter
 tainment in its pages, and even those who have no special interest in the city can read it with profit and interest, for it deals with important matters and it's style is pleasing.
 As the author says, the fullness of the rec ords, both of the town and of the colony of New Haven, makes it possible to present the first planters as, in large measure, the nara tors of their own history. Wisely prefer ring that they should speak for themselves, he has made large extracts from their records and from other contemporary writings Wisely also, he has not followed his first thought and allowed every person to appear in his own peculiar and usually reckless or biography.
 We can perhaps give no clearer or more comprehensive idea of the scope of this his tory than by mentioning the titles of the which are as follows Condition of England in the Seventeenth Century, as It Affected the Puritan Emigration in General; Events which Influenced some of the First Planters of New Haven to Remove from their Native Land to New Eng land; The Voyage of the Hector; The Winter Spent in Massachusetts The first year at Quinnipiac Foundations Laid in Church and State Division of Land; Personnel of the Plantation Milford, Gull ford, Southold, Stamford Establishment of a Colonial Government; Industrial Pursuits; Religion and Morals; Learning; Military Affairs The Aborigines Domestic and So- cial Life; History of the Colonial Govern ment to the Restoration of the Stuarts The Stuarts and the Regicides; Connecticut Pro- cures Charter which Covers the Territory of New Haven Controversy with Connecti- cut New Haven Submits There is also an appendix which contains much interesting matter.
 The book has seventeen appropriate and ell-executed illustrations, is handsomely printed and bound and is, in short, credit to all concerned in making it. Orders may be addressed to Harry T. Clarke, 526 Chapel Rfreet

Alum Baking Powder i'm Court-Interesf-
 ing uesfin,n,aR af q ienfidc Men.

Alum Baking Powder in Court-Interesf-
 ing Testimony of fscientific Men.
 Within the past two years bitter contro- versy has been waged between manufacturers on account of the use of alum as cheap sub- stitute for cream of tartar by many manufac- turers of baking powders. The handsome profits yielded by using the substitute have induced dealers as well as manufacturers to push them into the hands of consumers, sometimes under definite brands, frequently by weighing out in bulk without any distin- gushing name.
 Are such powders wholesome? The Royal Baking Powder company, who make cream of tartar baking powder, declared that they are injurious to the public health, while oth- CTS who make alum powders claim that they are not. The whole matter as to the effects of these alum powders has finally been brought into the courts, and the case was tried in the Superior Court of New York city before Chief, Justice sedgwick, reported sub stantially as follows in the N. Y. Sun: CONCLUSION OF LITTLE TROUBLE BETWEEN
 CHEMIST AND AN EDITOR.
 The suit of Dr. Henry A. Mott against Jabez Burns has brought to light the fact that this country produces at least forty-two different kinds of baking powders. Neither Burns nor Mott has been found guilty of making the baking powders, but Burns, who is the editor of periodical called the Spice AfSN, has been severely mulcted for libel in his efforts to pake his paper spicy. Dr. Mott, it appears, is a chemist and at one time was employed by the United States gov ernment to analyze different specimens of baking powder which had been recommended for adoption to the Indian bureau Dr. Mott reported in favor of the cream of tartar bak- ing powders for the Indians, and against the alum baking powders. The chemist analysed forty-two kinds of baking powders.
 The jury were out about half an hour. Then they came in with a verdict awarding Dr. Mott $s, 900, to which the court made an additional allowance of $150.n
 As the public have large interest in the wholesomeness of whatever it is called upon to use as food, the following extracts are in troduced from the testimony of some of the prominent men as to the injurious effects of alum powders:
 0. Were you employed by the U. s. gov ernment
 A. was, sir; was employed as chemist to analyze all the articles of food; to express an opinion as to the analysis of their health fulness and purity.
 o. Please tell the jury the baking powders that you examined while in the employ of the government? s

A New Story About Lincoln. rFro,,, &t,. Nrsa.,,,-s D.~,,tfI.,

It was in the early day when the cultured and experienced statesmen thought it incum- bent to guide the baekwoods president. Sena- tor Sumner called one day to furnish his share of the advice. He tailed long, learnedly and, as usual, rather dictatorially. Lincoln heard him through, smiling occasionally, bnt mak- ing no remark. But when the stream of senatorial eloquence finally stopped he said, to the utter amazement of his distinguished guest: ''Stand up, Sumner and let us mea- sure backs.n Sumner stood mp with all the backs were brought in contact. oAh," saiS Lincoln, when the measuring was ended, 'tmy back is good deal longer than yours, Sumner yes, @ good deal longer" The in terview, as might be supposed, was speedily terminated and as the door closed upon the tall form Lincoln remarked, as if soliloquizing to friend present: s'Sumner's smart mau, mighty smart man. What aE educa- tion he's got. I wish I had such aone.
 Sumner ought to be king of Prussia the place would just suit him.

In recent address in Brooklyn Bishop Futile of Utah made some vigorous and in teresting remarks. He said that the Episco- pal Church was making itself felt in Salt Lake City. He was sorry to say that the leaders of the Mormons were Americans. Two thousand converts to Mormonism ar rived at Salt Lake City every year from Flu rope. They came mostly from England, Scotland and Wales and Sweden and Dem mark. About two hundred Mormon mis- sionaries were sent out from year to year from Salt Lake City. They had two hun dred bishops, and next to the Jesuits their organization was the most complete. It was thought that after the death of Brigham Young Mormonism would decay, but it had not shown any signs of decay. They had perpetual emigration fund and through this fund converts in Europe were brought over. The first thing these converts did after get ting to Salt Lake City was to repay the money advanced to them to come over the sea. The fund was consequently always kept up. With the two hundred missionaries abroad and the two hundred bishops, the twelve apostles and the prophet the Episco- pal Church could only make itself weakly felt. But it was doing good work. It was educating seven hundred children and two or three hundred of these came out of Nor mon homes. It was all the time making quiet inroads on the Mormon ranks, and they were all the time doing what they could to wipe this stain of the American escutc heon

 One of the needs of fallen and unmarried man is place where he can have that stitch in time which saves nine taken, buttons sewed on, stockings darned, and rents in his garments repaired. This need has been per- ceived by theYoung Women's Christian Asso- citation of Boston, which has opened what it calls repairing department The work is to be donesunder careful supervision. and young women are to be taught the art of skillfuI repairing, which is very important part of
 
 a woman's education. The idea is a good one. We believe that right here in New Ha- ven if some woman who finds difficulty in making 8 living would open in some central place ia repairing department and do the work we'll promptly and at moderate rates she would make it pay.
 The Missouri Court of Appeals, in the case of Cole vs. Cole rules that: s'In an action for divorce, the fact that the plaintiff re- sided in this State for twelve months next preceding the commencement of the action, unless the offence or injury complained of was committed in this State, or while one or both parties resided within it-is 8 jurisdic- tional act and must be alleged; and de- cree of divorce rendered upon apetition which lacks such averment is corG1a non judtce and void. In another case that of Pate vs Pate, the court says: .The plaintiff must reside l in the county where the proceedings are com menced. It is not enough that jurisdiction in divorce suit appears from the whole rec ord; the libel itself must allage every fact the existence of which is by statute made necessary to the granting of the divorce ? Such being the law, it follows that about four thousand people of Missouri who have

Scores of little children of New York upper tendon are engaged in a rehearsal for dances, processions and tableaux at ball to be given at the Academy of Music on the 7th of Feb ruary. The Brooklyn Union-Argus calls at- tention to the fact that as yet the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which has already driven children from the Acad- emy stage for dancing, has not made move to stop an exhibition which is always 'de- moralizing'' when it is participated in by children who are paid for their service. The U7sioas-Argus also says: ''The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children will not move in this matter. It cannot without interfering with the wishes and pleasure of it's own patrons and their young children. It does not harm an upper ten infant to dance all night till broad daylight and go to school in the morning"

Unprecedented Rush for sh'
Capital.
Garfield Passing the Time
Pleasantly.


New York, 8. - The Baltimore and
Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA roads are
crowded with trsins bearing people to
Washington to witness the Inauguration
ceremonies.
The Times this morning says, rail-
road accommodation between this city and
Washington are much beyond anything
of the kind known since the rebellion.
Yesterday it was necessary to send out
special trsins, and ali floating equip
ments CT the road and branches we're
m 4de ready for service. To day it may
require a levy upon the Midland aud
other roads not competing in tne Southern
business, for extra coaches. The limited
express, yesterday, ran in three sections
having fifteen palace cars and two bag
gage cars, In the centennial year the
travel at 10 time made this demand.
Regular trains through to Washington
were twice their regular size and all were
crowded, in some instances it being
found necessary to increase the sccommo-
datIuns by the use Of camp stools. To-
day the rush Is expected to be much
larger. The travel is so far confined
chiefly to citizens of New York.
The proportion Of men to women
buying tickets to Washington lie about
5 to in favor Of the former. 1he militia
of New York and other states is leaving
to-day for Washington.
