THE LEGISLATURE


 The session of the Legislature will begin Wednesday of this week. The usual eau cuses will be held at the Capitol tomorrow evening.
 Hon. John M. Hall, of Windham, will be chosen Speaker of the house with little or no opposition. There has been as yet little talk about candidates for the office of President pro tena of the Senate. The name of Senator Colt, of New London, has been suggested. He would fill the place well. The plan to continue the old clerks in office having failed Clerk Perrin, of the House, will be advanced to the clerkship of the Senate, and Mr. Woodoury, of Easton, who was the assistant clerk of the House last year, will probably be promoted to be clerk. There are several contestants for the assistant clerkship, but MT. Downs, of Derby, seems to have the ad- vantage in the race. If he is elected he will give satisfaction.
 There does not now seem to be business enough to make long session necessary, but if the session is not longer than it ought to be it will be 8 pleasant surprise. It will also be surprising if considerable useless and mischievous legislation is not carried through, though there -is ground for hope that there will be less of it than there was last year

AN1NrEREsTINGLTBEL SUIT.

Politicians and journalists will be interest. ed in suit brought by Colonel Thomas H. Talbot of Brookline, Mass, against Samuel (Iass. ) TTGnsc7Ipt. The suit is for libel, and is based on the following paragraph, published by MT. Cox in September, 1879 :: k ttCol <Thomas H. Talbot noted Brookline Republican, and who two years ago was prominently spoken of and voted for in the Republican conyention which nominated Hon. F. D. Ely for Senator, is out for Butler to the infinite disgust of his intimate per- sonal political friends and Republicans" At the time this was printed Colonel Talbot was candidate for the Republican nomination for the position of State senator, and failed to receive the nomination and consequ ,ntly the election on account, as he alleges, of the injury done him by the above paragraph. In the issue of the Transcript on the week following the publication of this paragraph Mr. Cox published a retraetion, saying that the statement was false, and expressing re- gret for the injury unintentionally done to Col. Talbot. This was two weeks before the SOASA1OA Talbot has been thinking the matter over and now brings suit as above stated. The Springfield Union, which is well acquainted with the circumstances of the case, says ssAs Mir. Cox sold out his paper over a year ago, and has little property, Col. Talbot can not expect to get much money out of the proceeding, and the real motive of the suit appears to be to test the rights and respon- abilities of newspapers in publishing cur rent reports intended for political effect. Mir. Cox was always a political Ishmaelite in his district, and had this suit been brought sooner it would look like 8 case of revenge. If it were not true that lie always outruns the truth, it would seem that Mir. Cox's elab- crate retraction should have satisfied Col Talbot But it is intimated that one reason for bringing the suit is to establish prece- dent which shall govern the decisions in oth- CT and more important cases"
 If this suit should go against Mir. Cox and if Colonel Talbot's example should be fol lowed by other politicians, the political news of some papers would not be as spicy as it has been. It might, however, be more re- liable.

A Lively Old We'll.

Two gentlemen were out riding in the vi- cinity of Wawayanda station, on "a N. Y. s. and ". R. R., in Grange county, on Tuesday of last week, when they suddenly came upon number of snakes estimated to be at least twenty five, alongside the roadway Ttee snakes were of all sizes and varieties, some of them being harmless garter and black snakes, while others were poisonous copper heads and pilots, and they ranged al the way from twelve inches to upward of four feet. The sight was such an unusual one that the gentlemen stopped at the residence of @ farmer living in the vicinity, and in- quired the cause of the congregation of the reptiles The farmer stated That near the locality where the snakes were seen was an old, disused well, which 8 number of years ago had been filled up with stones, and that it had since become the winter home of @ vast number of snakes In the fall ef every year all the snakes in the neighborhood for miles around focked to the well and passed the winter in the crevices between the stones, emerging in the spring after their five months of hibernation. The farmer also stated that in the early warm spring days the snakes were in the habit of coming out to sun themselves, and on these occasions he and others would repair to the locality for the purpose of killing them. One day up wards of 100 were killed while every year st least that number were exterminated bnt the tribe is prolific that there appears to be no decrease in their numbers.

How a Fortune Wa. Made.

Some weeks ago a fashionable wedding
 took place in Emanuel church, and, as the
 sound of the wedding march greeted the ears
 of the congregation, the groom led the bride
 to the altar, there to VOW to love and cherish
 her through life, There was nothing singu- I in the same church. other VOWS had been
 plighted there before, and other happy
 hearts had left it's portals to begin together the trials and duties, the joys and sorrows of welded life. But this case was peculiar in itself, and as the groom Is well known among
 the business men of Boston, especially in the
 wool trade, sketch of his career may not ae four years of age. His father had been in
 business for years in the city, when by some unfortunate combination of eircun-
 stances he failed, and, like an hon est man, surrendered all his property for
 the benefit of his creditors The son be- came an office boy in the employ of wool
 merchant, and by faithf1lness and Industry gained his confidence aad the confidence of
 others. During the early days of the Bell
 Telephone company the young man bor-
 rowed 5000 from someone and put 1t in telephone stock, which be held until it's value tincreased to such an extent that in selling he 1 made $5o, 900. The following year prem ised to be good one for the wool trade, | and, as 1t subsequently, proved, many men dld maEe iaTge~SpmS In the years Of tS 29 and 1880. Having a>ssiend in Australia and
 knowing him to be reliable, the young man ordered him to buy largely and put up his
 $50, 900 as margin with one of tue argeHt
 banking houses of the city, securing tke l necessary amount to pay for his wocz end
 sold it at profit, clearing, sit is stated, near l ly $2oo,ooo Having accumulated this large 1 sum he sought out his fathers creditors and paid in full every one of the old debts. and, it is said, purchased fine resi- l dence on Newbury street and gave it to his | mother. Since then he has dealt in mining stocks and wool and is now reported 10 be
 worth from $250, ,000 to $500, 900, all made in the past three years. He is Q very unas- suming man. and his friends state that nofh- | ing in his outward appearance world indicate that he was the possessor of fortune. The 1 same statements, while they may bs new to I the general public, are not new on change, ! as they have formed the thame for many a conversation among business men. All who speak about it give him credit for shrewd-
 ness and ability remarkable for ona so young, and some predict he will be one of
 the largest operators in trade, unless he should get severely bitten in some unfortu- l nate stock sr,eculatfop

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

 .sSongs and Lyrics' is the title of 8 col lection of poems by Ellen Mackay Hutchin- son. The dedication of the book is to Ellen Sheffield Phelps, wife of Hon. William 'Nafss ter Phelps, and an intimate friend of the author. The poems have real claims upon the attention of readers. They are graceful, thoughtful and original, and not the least of their merits is that they are not of wearying length They are all characterized by rare fineness of feeling and ia some of them there are exquisite touches. Among the more noticeable of them is the ' Moth Song," with which the book opens It is as follows
 .eWhat Sioe. thou here
 Thou duaky courier. Within che pinky palace Of the rose7 No honeyed spicery-
 But for the golden bee
 And the gay wind and me
 Its sweetness grows.
 Ror>r thou dost forget ;
 Seek thou the passion flower,
 Bloom of one twilight hour.
 Haste, thou art late
 It's hidden savers wait.
 For thee is spread
 Its soft and purple coverlet;
 Moth art thou sped
 Dim ghost he flies
 Through the night-mysteries." ssGhe Sweet Betrayal' is another pleasing little poem:
 s'Iy darling tries with all her art To hide young Love within her heart, But, prisoned in that tender nest, He frets, and frets, and will not rest; And soon the little rogue spy At play within her laughing eye My darling tries with ali her skill To bind young Love unto her will; But work such witchcraft as she may The pretty rebel hath his way He decks her cheeks with blushes And fingers in the dimples there = In glance and biush and smile spy All that my Love would fain deny" Another is entitled "Wind Flower ;" thought to find my darling waiting in the wood Did anybody see her. today yesterday7
 She wears snowy gown,
 And the softest cloak of down. It's tinlid air she has, and modest little way It's no to ask the Wind, for he's jealous of my He wants her for himsel, and he wooes her all the time;
 But woo her all he dare, My darling doesn't care She shakes her little head to his and his rhyme. Thought to find her hidden in the brown and rust ling leaves; The days long and sunny warm, where my treasure stay
 An l here you are. my sweet,
 Here smiling at my feet, Spite all your timid air and your modest little wayn We have not space to quote further, but there is much else in the book which breathes the spirit of true poetry. We heartily cona- mend the collection to those who have and can recognize poetic feeling The book is well printed and handsomely bound. Pub lished by J. R. Osgood $ Co.,, Boston. and for sale in this city by E. P. Judd.

 Mr. Howe, the new Postmaster General, has been questioned as to his general views concerning the conduct of his department
 and says in substance that he shall try to

 make no removals except in the public inter- est. He is not clear what stalwartism IS and
 says: 'In Republicanism dc not recognize
 any such distinction as stalwart and anti-stal-
 wart. The question with me will be, sIs the
 head of a bureau resolutely and efficiently discharging the duties of his office ? If he is, then he is the man for my money. If he should not be, stalwartism will not save him." If Mir.

The RailaoGy Age has given much atten- ton to the urgent need of some general and comprehensive system for insuring the lives and health of railway employees, and also of some plan for providing for them after age or accident have united them to earn live l lihood The advantages of such system have been widely recognized by railway of- fcials and employees. Within few months the idea has taken practical shape, and, with the cordial support of some of the most infu- ential railroad men in the country, articles of incorporation have been filed in Iowa, where the State laws are favorable to such organiza- tions, for ssThe Consolidated Railway Life and Accident Insurance Company" with 8 proposed capital of $25, ,000,0 ,0Oo. .'This, :" | says the RaiswGy Age, twas the necessary preliminary step. 1t now remains for the in- corporators to meet and decide upon the l various details of organization, and of course these will be very carefully studied, and no ! feature which could be reasonably objected | to by either railway officers and employees ! will be allowed The proposed company should be in the broadest sense mutual, and l in no sense close corporation. The capi-
 tal stock is placed large enough not only to make the insurance absolutely secure, but to l give railway men of all classes an opportuni- l ty to participate in the good work, and also ! to share the profits, if there are any, by talk 1 ing stock, all being placed on precisely the i same footing"
