The State Prison

Among the old life prisoners at the Con- necticut' State prison are Stephen Abbott, sentenced in 1869, when he was 52 years of age. He took the death of his boy, who was hanged at Elmira, N. Y., few months ago, very hard. Isaac Randolph was convicted of murder in this city in 1856 and was 45 years of age when sentenced. John Warren, sen- tenced for like crime in 1859, and was 8 beardless youth of only 21 when convicted; <; now he is middle aged. James Cuff was sentenced in 1860 and Charles E. Gilbert in 1865.
 Among the most noted life prisoners are Wesley W. Bishop, Kate Cobb, William AL len and John H. Davis. They are the ones the visitors are the most curious to have pointed out. Bishop is hospital steward, having taken Charles Aliens place when the latter was pardoned couple of years ago.
 Of the recent corners, Ned Lyons, the Windham burglar, who was shot and his life despaired of for time attracts some atten- tion and is frequently inquired after by the visitors. Ned was doing light work on shoes and seemed to bear his confinement with cheerfulness. All the prisoners wore 8 look of contentment, showing the absence of bru- tality and abuse of any kind. While the dis cipline is strict, humanity is the governing principle.

An Ancient Deeds

One of the oldest, If not the oldest deed in America, and one possessing no inconsid- erable interest to Connecticut antiquarians, is said to be in the possession of Major Le- land, of New York. It antedates the landing of the Pilgrims one hundred and ten years, and was written eighteen years after the dis covery of the new world by Columbus. It is deed of Fishers Island, given by certain Indian chiefs to John Cabot, the celebrated navigator, and bears his signature.
 The deed reads as follows:
 sLook Great Spirit listen, braves to what Chiefs say Pale Face Captain Big Canoe wants Sandy Island (now known as Fishers Island We sell to him for a heap wampum and never take back. Sun and moon none of our tribes must tomahawk, arrow or scalping knife to spill his nor his squaw and her in possession the island which this day sell and confirm ts him or them and when he goes to hold all the islands aud wgwams left by him to the last seting and this is our sign to the covenant with John Cabot the great paieface signed, Canon icus, Gay Head Jim, Uncas and John Cabot"
 The deed is encased in an ancient looking frame, with glass on both sides, and the parchment upon which it is drawn is now yellow kwith old age. It bears any quantity of many colored seals, the hiero- giyphics upon which none but an Indian can interpret. While John Cabot's signature is & plain one, that of the Indian is preceded with scalping knife, an arrow and toma- hawk. John Cabot at the time the deed was made, was large farmer from England and lived near Fishers Island, where he made the acquaintance of the tribe and purchased the island for sheep- raising purposes. Un- oas, one of the signers of the deed, is buried at Norwich, where 8 large stone column has been erected. The Leland brothers have been offered fabulous sums of money, but have steadfastly declined to part with it.

Fires in the Woods Don't start One.

A friend of ours once had startling
experience in a clearing on the southern
shore of Lake Superior. Sitting on .
large log. twenty feet long, he thought
lessly held the lighted end of a cigar
upon the half rotten surface, and went
away without noticing the effect. The
next day al the same hour. passing by
the spot, he was astounded to find the
huge trunk nearly consumed. and all
glowing with an intense heat. The fire
had silently eaten its way through and
through the log, and nothing but its
chance isolation prevented disastrous
forest fire, which might have laid waste
half dozen counties and destroyed q
thousand homes.
Everyone who goes into the woods
every hunter, chopper, logger, picnic
party, rambler, bOtanist, should bear in
mind that a spark may cause confla-
grafton, as ruinous as that which occur
red in Michigan last year.
The forests of the United States still
yield annually four hundred and fifty
million dollars worth of merchandise,
and furnish employment to ore million
persons. This is tho least of their use
fulness to us. They prevent the too
rapid evaporation of the rain; they retard
the melting of the snow, thus preventing
destructive floods, garnering up the
water for safe and gradual use, and
keeping the mountain springs ever full
and fresh. Let us unite in guarding this
precious ipheritance.--M. T. Ledosr.

Accounting for the Result.

1t is idle to attempt accounting for
the result of yesterdays election in this
State by any causes local to the State.
1t is true that the Republican machine
in this State has been remarkably
compact and eff .ient machine, and that
it has been managed by very able and
inscriptions machinists. They nomi-
mated good candidate for Governor by
questionable means as they had before
by means equally questionable nomi-
mated bad candidates, but befo the
beaten fact 3ons had always turned in,
a ter more or less grumbling, to help
elect the lad candidates; and had
elected more than one of the bad candi-
dates. This time they have refused to
support the good candidate, and have
helped to bury him under a majority,
whatever its proportions may prove to
be, which is utterly unprecedented, and
utterly overwhe' ming. The causes OF
this latest and most memorable revolu-
ton in American politics are not far to
seek. The scandals of Grantism' were
less influential in the elections of 1874
than the scandals of Robesonism have
been in the elections of 1882. 1t has
been anew demonstrated that the Am ri
Odh PCOPlC, III JlLltS VI Ill lluSu
times, are not willing to be ruled by
robbers The time comes when they
can no longer be rallied to the support
OF party by its name and its past
achievements alone, when the name and
the achievements have evidently be-
come the cover for incompetency and
corruption. That the Republican party
saved the country and paid the debt and
grew the crops, even if it had been true,
has finally ceased, to the average Ameri-
can citizen, to be a valid reason why he
should vote to prolong the reign of
branded thieves and perjurers because
they call themselves Republicans. 1t is
to the crimes and follies of the leaders
whom the Republican party has accept
ed that the Democratic party owes this
wonderful success. The great victory
of yesterday will be happy or disastrous
for the Democratic party as the party is
or is not found to be ready to turn it to
to the best account for the party and for
the country. All that can be said of the
victory now is that it brings great op-
portunity and great responsibility. ~

Flat Feet.

The chief surgeon of the Swiss Federal
army declares that the Swiss examining
surgeons are compelled to reject every
year 800 recruits-the strength of bat
talion-for malformation of the foot re-
sulting from wearing badly-itting shoes.
The human foot is in reality bow so
elastic that at every step it expands and
contracts; lengthens and shortens. A
line drawn through the center of the
great toe should interssct the heel. But,
been written on the anatomy of the organ
in question, those whose business it is to
cover it oct as if the foot were solid
piece of mechanism. They cabin, crib
and confine the big toe, which requires
room for lateral expansion, until it is
forced against its neighbors and is tor
tured by corns, bunions, and sometimes
painful Inflammation of the joints.
Flat-footedness is due to many causes
connecte / with improperly-made shoes;
vet, if people would insist on their foot
gear being constructed SO as to allow the
toes free action and the instep its due
play, it would be quite possible to cure
the mischief.
A pair of perfect shoes, the Swiss
Medical Colonel contends, should. when
placed together, touch only at the toes
and heels; the soles should follow the
sitiuosities of the feet, and to give room
for their expansion, should exceed them
by about one "size." The peculiar,
awkward running gait of women and
big girls is due to weak-kneedn ess
characteristic of the sex, owing to the
different way the upper supports of their
limbs grow as they approach to matur-
ity. This condition is well seen in pict-
ures and statues, and forces the woman
in running to move the knees around
each other, and throw the feet out in sue
cessi IN of small semi-circles. In men,
on the contrary, the knee-cap looks a
little outward, instead of straight for
ward, and their knees are quite free.
The result of the high-heeled, high
legged boots now in vogue for women
is to render the natural condition de-
formity, and by throwing the weight Of
the body on the inner ankle, to break
down the arch of the foot and produce
tiat-foot, or complete evenness of one ol
both feet.

A Woman Rescues a Boy in Mid Ocean.

A short time ago, Mrs. G. A. D. Nc
Arthur Campbell, formerly resident of
Coonamble, distinguished herself by a
deed of ad nirable bravery. Mrs. Camp
bell was a passenger in steamer from
Hong Kong to one of the northern ports
of Queensland, and one day boy about
four years of age. to whom the lady was
much attached, fell overheard. the acci-
dent occurring through sudden lurch
of the vessel. With the exception of
Mrs. Campbell and the man at the wheel
all the passengers and crew were at
dinner. Without waiting for life buoy
or divesting herself of any clothing, and
simply saying to the man at the wheel:
Don't tell the child's mother" Mrs.
Campbell plunged into the water, swan
to the boy, and held him up till both
were rescued, the steamer having been
promptly stop. and boat lowered.
Neither the lady nor boy was much the
worse for the immersion.-Sydney Morn

LATER NEWS.

A TERRIBLE affray occurred at a church
festival in CASTOR County, North Carolina,
on the night of the 18th. Thomas Cara
baldi and Rufus Magill were rival claim
ants for the hand of Blanche Brant, the
belle of the county. At the festival
Blanche smiled on Garabaldi, and snubbed
Magil. Mapes, a friend, tainted Magill,
when he became enraged, jumped over
and knocked down the ice-cream tables.
Mapes drew a revolver and shot at Magil,
missing him. Then Magill shot Mapes in
the face, breaking both jaws Blanche
shrieked and swooned. A fearful panic
ensued, men and women trampling upon
each other. Garabaldi, being unarmed,
attempted to fee, when Magill rushed at
him, but lost his pistol in the crowd. He
then seized heavy iron shovel and beat
out the brains of Garabaldi in the presence
of the girl and fifty others. Mapes will
die. Magill fed.

The Machine Smashed.

The promise of Ohio has been more
than fulfilled. From every quarter the
glorious news comes in. The fiat that
went forth, 1.-THE machine is to be
smashed" has been answered with the
triumphant cry, 1.-The machine is
smashed" The whole country was
strewn yesterday with the flying frag-
ments and to-day and for many day
the political atmosphere will be the
purer and sweeter for the explosion.
1t is a grand, glorious triumph. one
in which every honest elector, every
oppressed taxpayer and every hard
worked civil servant of the country
will unfeignedly rejoice. 1t would be
idle to claim it as Democratic victory
in the narrow sense in which those
words are sometimes used. 1t is due
in large measure to the revolt of Repub
icans disgusted with the arrogance of
the bosses who have abused the
power of the party, prostitutng it to
their own selfish end and the aggran-
dizement of their followers.
But, in broad sense, the victory is
Democratic one. The people have
won it, but they have selected the De,
mocracy as their instrument They
have repelled Indignantly the Stalwart
sneer which has proclaimed the DE.
mocracy at times untrustworthy, and. al
times, dead; and they have trampled
under foot the preientious StalwarI
claim to perpetual lease of the Gov.
eminent, to be administered in theiI
own interest.
The rebuke of Hubbellism, Stal
Routeism, Bossism and River and Har.
bor tn every is a crushing one; and the
friends of honest economical govern,
ment, OF reduced taxation and re
formed Civil Service have a right to re
joice. as they will rejoice today in ev
cry election precinct in the Union. 1t i:
