In attempting to pass through the out side door he made noise which attracted at tention and he was taken back to his cell.
 He was much bruised and famed by his jump from the cars and had great difficulty in making his way to Southington, But being determined to die rather than to go to State prison, ''stumped it out'' He has wife and child in Massachusetts, and all his family connections are in good standing. He says he took to drink four years ago and since then his career has been one of wrong doing and crime.

NiIlimantic-sentence of the New York Burglar.


 The South Windham burglar, who has been under physician's care since his unpleasant encounter at Williams & Johnson's store, and who has been sort of white elephant curi- osity to the people of that village on account of his alleged high reputation as a despera- do, was tried Wednesday in the Supreme Court and sentenced to three years in the State prison. He pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary, with the understanding that he would receive lighter sentence than other wise would be imposed if he should be found guilty of the charge. He was taken to his future place of abode yesterday. In the court room he was dressed neatly, and ex- hibited the bearing of a person who would little be suspected of following so despicable calling. That he is now alive after having a hole put through his body, besides ball in the back imbedded nine inches, seems mira cle

Are They Short Of Sand

The Quincy Herald has repeated and
emphasized its disgraceful assaults upon
the dying President. Last week it said:
We believe Guiteau to be just as honorable
as the man he shot, and a mighty sig!t less
dangerous to the country at large than the
plausible, smooth-tongued, nnprincipled man
who, with a snif1e and pions groan, would turn
from prayer to take bride, commit PEE jury,
or steal Presidency.
These rufianly words were rebuked,
as they deserved to be, by the press Of
the whole country without distinction Of
party. It was supposed that the Quin-
cy miscreant had been shamed into
silence. But he has not been. He has
attempted to justify the offense. The
Herald of Tuesday contains an article of
two columns filed with twaddle and
foul abuse of the President. The vii
famous words of the first article are
quoted and stuck to, and the scurvy
scoundrel further says:
If to thwart by fraud the legally-expressed
will of the people, if by monstrous villainy to
bring about a reversal of a national election, be
not treason to ones Government, then is there
no such thing as treason upon earth. This Mr..
Garfield did do. And in our opinion an intrigu
ing, scheming, plotting traitor is as desplcable
as an assassin. A traitor strikes at all the PEG
pie OF the nation; an assassin raises his hano
against but one. A traitor assaults the Govern
ment; an assassin an individual. And we place
republican government infinitely above all the
Garhelds that ever have or ever will see the
light of day. James A. Garfield assaulted, most
UNANIMOUSLY, the Government of the United
States. Charles Guiteau assaulted one Garfield
This is why said the little villain was as hon
orable as the greater one, and much less dan
gerOus to the country at large.
The Quincy Wing justly remarks that
"The editor of the Herald exhibits
such degree of sottishness, of vulgari-
ty and ghoulishness, as is disgrace to
journalism. disgrace to society, a scan
dial to his party, and such as was never
before exhibited by a public journal in
any civilized community" The object
of the Herald rufian plainly is to make
himself notorious, even though it be In
an infamous way. Among $4,000, 600
people in all the land, no other man has
deemed this fitting time to utter such
disgraceful and slanderous sentiments,
much less to spread them broadcast in a
newspaper. 1t was reserved for a quincy

Good Manners.

1t is mistake to regard manners as
something external or distinct from the
nature, to be put on or taken off at will
The bearing to which we instinctly ac-
cord respect is the outward poisoning
OF an inward growth, and bears the same
relation to character that the flower does
to the plant, not absolutely necessary to
its existence, but graceful expression
oflnternal qualities which give it strength
and vigor.
Some foreigner once said of Abraham
Lincoln that he was a grand gentleman
in disguise.
In him the outward expression, though
farremoved from aChesterfeldian polish,
was still so true to qualities towhich the
world accords its highest respect that it
became good manner of its own, and
thus proved the truth of the assertion in
regard to growth.
A line manner presupposes certain
force OF character and frmness of pur-
pose which invest the owner with COM
posture and self respect. A certain
equlpoise which enables him to possess
his soul III peace, where mind that is
not SO ballasted goes careering about to
every breeze, source of discomfort to
itself and all who behold it. It also
presupposes a kind heart and quick
sympathy for others. There are native
characteristics wanting which smooth
exterior is of little real value. Shall we
not then cultivate good manners? May
we not acquire gentle courteous de.
meanor to which we may not have been
born? Most assuredly, but unless we
conform to the law of development just
expressed, We shall achieve no success
worthy of the name. Let US suppose
harsh vindictive nature assuming the
gentle manner of one who feels and lives
unselfshly.
In moment of forgetfulness, and
such moments will come, the mask drops
of and discloses the real man that lives
behind it. For those who behold the
disclosure there is no possibility of for
getfulness, and for them the mask will
not only fail to do its work, but will pro-
duce a sense of incongruity that will
give absolute discomfort. Duplicity
never succeeds to any great extent A
greater amount of thought and force
must be given than with higher motive
would be necessary to insure the genuine
feeling whose outward expression we
desire. If we feel kindly we shall act
kindly.

What She Called Him.

for the truth of the following Ateacher
