THE JOURNAL some weeks ago
nominated Judge John Douglas, Of
Homecoming, for School Commissioner.
1t lie not supposed, however, this had
any weight with the Court, but there
is satisfaction in the coincidence that
cur estimate of the Judges fitness for
the place was endorsed by his appoint.
ment Monday. We believe the Court
will not regret this expression of its
favor. The Judge will no doubt ex-
ert himself to serve the public eff,
GENTLY and acceptably in this diff

band which the snail has made in the

stated that he was heartily in sympa-

them God. speed in their efforts to
free their kindred in Ireland from the
unjust laws which are bearing them
down. Mr.. B. discussed the situation
in plain, practical manner and ad-

among all sympathizers of the cause
During his speech he was frequently
applauded.
Mr.. Robert Haydn, of the Western
Citizen, Indianapolis, Ind, was next
introduced. He commenced at once
a stirring patriotic talk in which no
referred to the present suffering in
Ireland and attributed it to tina land
lords and the unjust lava OF England.
He advised his hearers to start a
system of Boycotting by refusing to
buy any imported goods from Great
Britain. He dwelt to some extent
on the three Fs, and stated explicitly
that the only hope Ireland now has
is in the land leagues of the United
States and their assistance. The

1T would be really interesting to
learn where the Coal Trade Journal
got the following information :
1t is stated that the number of miners
IN the Georges Creek region lie twice as
many as can be constantly employed, so
that each man only realizes half-time.
How is this? Can it be because the price
of digging the coal is so much higher than
in other regions ?
"The prize of digging is all right,
and don't you forget It'll" If some
other matters were quite as well ad.
justed here there would be no need
for erroneous "half-tims" influences
from the reported presence of a
double supply Of labor.

Busy Times in the Railroad Commission

Busy T ines i'm the Railroad Commi ssion- ers'Department Hearings. The Railroad Commissioners met in Meri- den yesterday to give hearing relative to abolishing locomotive whistling through that
 city. Quite number of Meriden citizens appeared against the whistling nuisance,
 while others objected to it being stopped un- less other precautionary measures were adopted.
 President Watrous stated that the compa- ny would cheerfully abolish whistling if the commissioners should deem it expedient to public safety. MT. WatrouS also said that if the commissioners did not deem it advisable to prohibit whistling, that the railroad com pany would adopt any suggestion that the commissioners might make regarding the shortening of the blasts The commission CTS will consider the matter and report in about week. It is probable that the peti- tion to dispense with the whistling will be granted.
 The commissioners present were George M Woodruff and w. H. Hayward. Besides President Watrous, Vice President Reed and Superintendent Davidson, of the Hartford division, were present representing the in- terests of the Consolidated road The railroad commissioners will continue their hearing upon the application of the New York and Connecticut Railway company for the approval of it's location. at the Super for Court room in New Haven on Tuesday, August 2d, at 9:3O a. .m., and unless the ap- plication is disposed of that time, they will give further hearing as follows: At Bridge port, in Common Council chamber, on We'd

 Of all household pets there is none so ready to pay their owners for the care bestowed upon them as the canary bird, and yet none are so really unknown as this little musical topaz which is found in almost every home For the modicum of seed and the trifiinp amount of care he receives, the little fellow is ever ready to ''wrap himself in meiodyn until the very air vibrates with the music And because of his happy nature, which is ready to resolve itself into song at the slight est provocation, he is too often doomed to lead a lonely life, that his notes may be the sweeter because of 8 possible yearning in him for mate, while the limits of his cage are circumscribed, that all his energy may come forth from his throat.
 If he is sick, he is generally made worse by injudicious treatment if he is we'll he is provoked to sickness by food which nature never intended he should eat; and as SUD- posed pleasure to him his metal cage is ex- posed to the full glare of the summer sun. until the wires are so heated that they are painful to the touch. And yet this little i'm migrant bears all his troubles in silence, GOV ering his head with his wing as his only con- solation when he is too ill to sing.
 As his name implies, he is-or perhaps it would be more correct to say was-a native of the Canary Islands. There it would be almost impossible to recognize the species
