ANNEXATION.

On another page will be found remarks by prominent and influential gentlemen con cerning the proposed annexation of part of East Haven to the town of New Haven. Messrs. Harrison and Sargent both present forcible arguments in favor of the plan. The most important reason for annexation they give is that it would bring the eastern bank of the river and harbor under the control of New Haven. This would be real again. Aside from this it is difficult to see how New Haven would profit by the proposed change, though MT. Sargent makes an ingenious calculation to show that we could not lose much, and believes that annexation would not increase the tax of New Haven one mill

It contemplates fewer drinking resorts, dis crimination between those saloons and gar dens in which beer alone is sold and those in which whiskey and other powerful intoxi- cants are sold, the former to be open on Sun. day from to p. m., and the latter not all; the prohibition of Sunday performances in the theatres, and the destruction of the lot tery business
 It is 8 source of regret that the supply of skilled workmen in many branches of trade in this country is not equal to the demand, and it is matter which should be looked in to by employees. The increase in every branch of business makes corresponding in- crease in the demand for men capable of filing the higher positions in the workshops and manufactures, and the ranks of the old hands are gradually being thinned out by death A prominent manufacturer of one of the western cities has been compelled to send to Switzerland for the third time for men skilled in his particular branch of business, and this means was only resorted to after having used every effort in his power to ob- tain hands in this country.

W uuo uOSI O1 our GraV6Ing men, or com mercial tourists, are nice christian gentle men, there is occasionally one who is as full of the old nick as an egg at this time of the year is full of malaria. There was one of them stopped at a country town, flew nights ago, where there was church fair. He is blonde, good -natured looking, serious talking chap, and having stopped at that town every month for dozen years, everybody knows him. He always chips in toward 8 collection wake or rooster fight, and the town swears by him. He attended the fair, and jolly little sister of the church, 8 married lady, took him by the hand and led him through green fields, where the girls sold him ten-cent chances in sawdust dolls, and beside still waters, where girl sold him sweetened water with sour stomach for lemonade, from Rebeccas well. The sister finally stood beside him while the deacon was reading of the numbers. They were drawing a quilt, and as the numbers were drawn all were anxious to know who drew 1t. Finally, after several numbers were drawn, it was announced that No. 15 had drawn the quilt and the little sister turned to the travel ing man and said: "My that is my number. I have drawn it. What shall do ?" Hold up your ticket and shout tkeno,'" said he
 The little deaconess did not stop to think that there might be guile lurking in that travelling man, but full of joy at drawing the quilt and ice cream because the travelling man bought it, she rushed into the crowd toward the deacon, holding her number, and shouting so they could hear it all over the house, s'Keno!'' If bank had burst in the building there couldn't have been so much astonishment. The deacon turned pale and looked at the poor little sister if she had fall
 en from grace, and all the church people looked at her sadly, while the worldly minded peo- pie snickered. The little woman saw that she had got her foot into something, and she blushed and backed out and asked the travel ing man what keno meant. He said he didn't exactly know, but he had always seen people
