about the band stand on the common

routes and the cost of the same. A
subscription committee was elected

and two for New Haven to solicit
subscriptions for tho building of the
road. The sum of $50, 900 10 required,

COMMUNICATION.
A Query.

Isn't there an Addison House clique
as we'll as Stevens House, and isn't
the former q pet Institution of Mr..
Fletcher's as the latter Is of Mr.. Reads.
Best throw up and give us now deal.
-
Our correspondent asks natural
question, but SO far as one can judge tn 0
Addison House clique, If 1t exists, keeps
in the prudent shade, and its influence
has not been felt as distinct and often
sive force. We ARC not aware of any
special interest of Mr.. Fletcher in the
Addison House in the sense our cores
pondent implies. Mr.. Fletcher is
pretty we'll known, and his views, so
far as they interest temperance men,
were ascertained before he was noinin-
ated. Unless the ground is taken that
temperance men cannot consistently
vote for men who are not themselves
opponents of abstinence, 1t would seem
the wiser and more prudent course to
support the whole of the Republican
ticket, except in the case Of men whose
votes will antsgonize the success of the
ends for which temperance men are
working. Such extreme ground would
give better support had 1t been adopted
earlier instead Of waiting until occupy
ing it can only put temperance men in
the attitude of boilers pure and simple.

A picturesque group at Castle Garden
on Friday, says the New York Evening
Post, was party of some twenty Ron
manian gypsies, glorying In all the dirt
and tinsel of their race. The adults
and old people are almost as black as
negroes, some of the women having the
black curly hair of mulattoes. None OF
the party wore head-gear or any kind
OF shoes. The old matrons among
them were extraordinary illustrations
Of what an outdoor existence, lifelong
antipathy TO soap and water, and free
use of tobacco and rum, can do toward
Graduating every womanly trait. One
or two younger women were sp Cimens
Of gypsy beauty In the rough, md "a
they sat on the floor, In costAme
made up largely of colored sashes which
betrayed complete Indifference to the
decencies of civilized life, with several
pounds of jewelry about them In the
shape of rings, bracelets, earrings,
anklets, etc., and putting lazily at yell
low cigarettes, the picture was q pretty
one-from q. distance. Several babies
were wrapped In swsddling clothes
something after the fashion Of oul
Indian pappooses. The party bring
with them nine bears, several monkeys
and q collection of tambourines anl
other musical instruments. No on,
seemed to know where they wer'
going.
