 Yesterdays Waterbury Amae15ca7a says :: It now looks as if the general combination to promote an epidemic of smallpox in this city is working finely. Tuesday afternoon the husband of Mrs. White, who has the small pox on North Elm street, walked out of the back door and proceeded to visit divers sa- looms. The health committee CD had the house quarantined. To-day that committee have employed a woman to care for the sick woman and man to look after the man of peripatetic tendencies and keep him from ''breaking out." Will tomorrow morning see the whole quartette down town upon the streets?

Death of Rush Cheney.

In the death of Rush Cheney, which oc- cured in South Manchester yesterday morn ing the famous Connecticut silk-making firm loses the fifth of the brothers who have passed away from earth, and the fourth one that was financially connected with the now world known firm throughout it's long and checkered but highly honorable history. Mir. Cheney had long been valetudinarian, and he had been prostrated for the last two or three weeks by accommodating disorders which produced. toward the end of May, two or three alarming sinking turns, which led his physician to apprehend his speedy death about that time but symptoms were then shown which gave cause for renewed hope. But pneumonia set in and he survived that phase of his illness but one week. His age was about GA or 65.
 Mr. Cheney was greatly esteemed by all who knew him, and beloved by all who knew him best His kindly and gentle yet manly character was marked by an unfailing cheerfulness and hearty good nature-a char acteristic which has marked all the brothers. His wife Che married a Wethersield lady died some twenty or twenty-two years ago. Their children have grown up to adult life.

 The seventh night of the Foot Guards fair was the gala night of all so far, both in point of numbers and the sociability which always reigns at all the fairs given by this popular company. Among the more noted visitors were noticed Commander J. D. Plunkett and about thirty five members of Henry Merwin Post, G. A. R., Major Strong, Captain Earn ham, Lieutenant Hall and forty members of the Horse Guards; also Captain Arnold, of the Grays Fire Marshal Kennedy and City Clerk Piggott. The voting on the wine set at 1O:3O stood as follows: A. H. Hurlbut 10, l.. E. Jerome II, F A. Bowman 10, F. D. Sloat 2O6, A. c. Hendrick 18O; and on the picture: Grays 53, Blues 5, Light Guards 3, City Guards l. The veteran and active fire men will attend to night, and no doubt anoth- CT large party will participate in the festivi- ties of the evening.
 GENERAL GARY.
 General Cary of Ohio, whose eloquent speeches at Peck's Grand Opera House on several occasions in the last few years are well remembered by hundreds of our citi- zens, will speak at the same place next Sun day and Monday evenings. Sunday evening he. speaks on the Mistakes of Moses or h. gersoll, Which ?" The Springfield, Ill. State Journal says General Cary of Ohio, de- livered for the first time last evening, in the Reform Hall to large audience, lecture re- gently prepared in defence of the Bible against the assaults of infidels and skeptics The reputation of Gary as an orator is world wide, and deservedly so. The lecture will add to his fame as 8 thinker, a Iogician, a philanthropist and ora tor. He defends the Bible from the secular standpoint purely From the opening to the closing of his eloquent dis course he does not alude to the doctrines or dogmas of Hebrewism, Catholicism or Prot estantism. It would be impossible to de- termine from his lecture whether he is Jew or Christian. This is unlike the defenses of the Scriptures hitherto made as they are tinged with the dogmas of the peculiar creed of the speaker. This peculiarity will of itself command the attention and sympathy of man of all creeds; in fact, of all believers | in the Bible." l

DETROIT IGNORANCE.

was. Would you believe it, he
couldn't answer me %

citizen.
mo, sir, he couldn't. Think of
such ignorance in this enlightened
age! When | told him who Pytllias

DURABLE WHITEWA

The great drawback in common
whitewash is the want of durability.
it being necessary to renew it every
year but an improved preparation
may be made at very low cost that
when properly put on will last some
years and look very we'll. 1t is made
as follows: For five gallons slack
six quarts Of good lime in hot water,
covering it up while in the process of
Stacking to keep in the steam; when
Stacked strain through course cloth ;
add one quart of salt. prepared by
boiling in water until dissolved and
the impurities have been SKINNED
OIL also add one pound Of alum, one
half pound of copperas, three-fourths
of a pound ofpotash, four quarts of
very fine sand, ana coloring to suit
the fancy. This preparation should
be put on hot; if properly done it
makes durable paint. TO make
brilliant white: To the amount Of
lime above mentioned. add one.fou-th
of a pound of burnt alum, one pound
of refined sugar, three pints of rice
flour, made into thin paste, and one
pound Of dissolved glue. This, like
the other, should be applied hot. If
the lime be good, it will make a very
p ure white that will last some years.

A Romance Of History.

1t was nutting time.
A bloo:ling band of peasant chill
dren had gathered from far and near
to have a merry day amid the nut trees
and hedges.

and lads of eighteen and twenty were
scattered through the chattering
group.
The nut harvest was joyful time

add to the youthful face the charm
of perfectly chiseled features. and of
lustrous brown eyes. looking out up
on the world with an innocent wonder
at the changing scenes Of lovliness
so costantly unfolding themselves
before them-trame it in mass of
shining, wavy gold of natures own
crimping-and poise it upon a form
so 1.-THE and slender in its e--quisite
grace that Praxiteles might have
chosen it for his model-and you can

acknowledged beauty of the whole
surrounding country.

and as he STOOD gazing listlessly out,
his eyes frightened suddenly, and
he turned to an attendant and whis
pered a few words which caused him
to hasten away. When he returned
| he was not alone-Rika was with
him.
Prince Eric's beauty-loving eyes
had been attracted by her, as she
had stood amid a group of other
maidens, looking at the gayly.dress-
ed columns OF her countrymen filing
by.
She, too. was in holiday attire :;
and the black velvet jacket, fitting
closely to her slender figure, and a.
dorned with silver-gllt buttons,
brought out so vividly the exquisit
fairness Of her skin. with it's rose-leaf
tints Of red upon lips and cheeks,
that she looked like being of diff.
erent sphere as she stood amid her
mates.
Confused and blushing, she now a.
waited the princes pleasure. She
dared not raise her eyes to his face.
Had she done so, she would have
been overpowered by the earnestness
of the gaze with which he regarded
her.
From the moment his eyes rested
upon Rika's face, the world held but
one peerless woman to him.
It mattered not that his younger
brother, Duke John, was even then
in another kingdom, wooing for him

GRANDPA,s sOLILQUY.

1t wasn't so when | was young,
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak of ''them galoots,''
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of the nee hand-write
OfJoe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say,
''He sings a nasty quill
An when we seed gal we liked,
Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good.
But not ''about the cheese"
Well. when we met good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him-but didn't say,
Hello, you old sardine! -
The boys sometimes got mad and fit
We spoke of kicks and blows;
But now they ''whack him in the snOot, >
And paste him on the nose.''
Once when a youth was turned away,
From her he held most dear,
He walked off on his feet-but now
He ''crawls off on his ear.''
We used to dance when l was young,
And used to call It so,
But now they don't, they Only ''sling
The light fantastic toe
OF death we spoke in language plain,
That no one would pe1plex
But in these days one doesn't die
But ''passes in his checks"
We praised the man of common sense
His judgments good, we said;
But now they say. "Well, that old plum
Has got level head
It's rather sad the children now
Are learning all such talk
They've learned to ''chin'' instead of chat
And ''waltz'' instead of walk.
