The MtlitarvCa Camp Ground.

For several days past testimony has been taken at the court house in New London in relation to the taking of land at Niantic for the purpose of a permanent camp ground for the national guard. Yesterday morning the opening argument in behalf of the plaintiffs was made by Mir. Briscoe,. of Norwich, in a well-considered argument. The Hon. Angus tus Brandegee made an able argument in be- half of the State, and the closing argument for the plaintiffs was made by MT. Halsey, of Norwich. There is marked difference of opinion as to the value of the sixty-two acres of laad to be taken The State claims that the land is worth between $6, 800 and $7, ,OOO, while the owners believe it to be worth be- tween 2,ooo and $15,ooO The State has appropriated $1o.o0o to cover the cost of the land and the expenses of the hearing. The commission have heard thirty witnesses and will soon make their report. The only thing to be determined is the price to be paid by the State to the land owners.

China and the Chinese from a Chinese
 Skuu ro%r


 At the Park church, Norwich Sunday evening, Rev. Dr. Bacon, the pastor, made some interesting observations upon the civil ization and history of China, the first appear ance of Chinamen in this country, and the organization of the Chinese educational com- mission whose Iabors were recently brought to such an abrupt close.
 He then introduced his adopted brother, Mir. Yew Fun Tan, now studying for the ministry at Yale, who in an easy, familiar and interesting way told the congregation more particularly the inside history of the educational work of the Chinese commission, something of his own impressions and expe- riences, and of the mistaken ideas that are entertained in this country about the stu dents and the Chinese government. He expressed slight hope that the students might be sent back here to resume their studies, but even were they not, he felt sure that they would not altogether lapse into the ways of their fellow countrymen at home, but use many of the excellent ideas they had ac- quired in New England for the advancement of their own people Mr. Tan also spoke of the light in which foreign traders and mis- sionaries are looked upon in China by the natives, and of his own Sunday school work among the Chinese laundrymen of New Ha- ven. Yew Fun Tan was for some time an in- mate of the family of the late Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon, and is stopping in Norwich with Rev. Dr. L. W. Bacon.
