 The trial of the colored man charged with stealing William Covert's red necktie, soap box and scarf-pin took place in the Totokett Hotel last night at 12 o'clock. Williams counsel not having put in an appearance he undertook to plead his case with good suc- cess. The principal witnesses in the case were two lawyers, two.druggists, one physi- elan and three prominent business men, There is not much evidence against the colored man, one of the witnesses testifying that he could positively swear that he saw William give the scarf to the colored man. The justice was not decided whether to hang the accused as William suggested or to fine the complainant The pin which W1l- liam valued at S25, turns out to be one 8 clerk in town obtained in 8 prize package worth about ten cents. William says he will have ssiustice at any rate"; if he cannot secure it in Connecticut he will go to Jersey for It.

 Madison.
 Madison in many respects this summer is hardly to be recognized even by it's residents. The new road which check fields dotted with cottages speaks of enterprise and of the lively times that are to be. One of those 1n- provements that has generally recommended itself and deserves support is the establish ment of the livery stable with full supply or horses and vehicles. MT. Nettleton, the enterprising keeper, has recently begun to run a daily coach from the Main street to the beach and remaining on the shore sufficient time to accommodate those wishing to bathe and enjoy the sea air.

Court Of Common Pleas Judge stud-
 leys
 This court cana in yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
 Judge Studley rendered judgment in the case of William Horan vs. Andrew Reynolds (both of Meriden) for the plaintiff to recov- CT $6O and costs. It was an action to recov- CT $12O for board. The case was tried June 9th.
 In the afternoon Judge Studley ordered the release of Samuel E. Holmes, of East Haven, who was confined in the almshouse on an order of commitment to the Insane asylum at Middletown, issued by Probate Judge York. Afterward SeIectmen Roswell H. Thompson and R. S. Coe, of East Haven, served a written notice upon Sslectman Hen ry Smith that he would be individually responsible for any expense heretofore contracted, or that might in future be contracted for Holmes commitment or support. Having been committed as an in sane pauper, the town would have to pay S2. 50 week for his board at Middletown. No opposition being offered to the writ Of habeas corpus brought to secure Holmes release, Judge Studley ordered his discharge. He may be sent to Middletown as soon as he can be received there, however, under the orlgl- nal commitment.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT

No legacy is so rich as honesty.
Economy is itself a great income.
Folly ends where genuine hope be-
gins.
Men mark the hits, and not the
misses.
1t costs more to avenge wrongs than
to bear them.
Whatever makes men happier makes
them better.
1t is a good rule to be deaf when a
slanderer begins to talk.
Feebleness of means is, in fact, the
feebleness of him that employs them.
Circumstances are the rulers Of the
weak; they are but the instruments of
the wise.
Out in the world men show us two
sides in their character by the fireside
only one.
A woman may get to love by de-
grees the best fire does not fare up
the soonest.
Where there is much pretension
much has been borrowed; nature
never pretends.
1t is not what you see that makes
you popular among your friends; it is
what you don't tell.
Never despise humble services ;
when large ships run aground, little
boats may pull them off.
Attrition is TO the stone what good
influences are to the man; both polish,
while they reveal hidden beauties.
When a man is at the foot of the
hill in his fortunes, he may stay long
while there in spite of professional ac-
complishments.

We Calm.

Life is to a great extent what we
make it, and no life is set to sweet mu-
sic all along its path. How much bet
ter, then, to take il just rs we find it
the bitter with the sweet, the disa
greeable with the agreeable, the sun
shine with the shadow, accepting what
soever comes, cheerfully or uncOm-
plainingly, doing what we have to do
faithfully. 1t is hard to be calm and
gentle when surrounded by bitterness
and ill-temper. to be sweet and serene
when others are rude and frCtful, TO be
bright and sunny in an atmosphere Of
gloom, to be composed when people re-
buff and annoy us; but if our lives are
hid in Christ, and his love controls US,
it is not SO difficult after all; and
though the Red seas may be numerous,
and the waters of Marah very bitter
oftentimes, surely Gods greatness
shall flow around our incompleteness,
and we be raised above the petty cares
and trials of earthly existence, till
Elm having been gained, we can
abide there safely with the promised
land in view.

Ancient Dishes.

The British museum has just ac4
quired an interesting collection of th'r-
ty-nine silver objects which gives an
insight into the daily life of the Baby
lonians, and reminds us of the discov-
cry of the bird dealers shop at Pom
peii. These objects, which were all
found together on the site of Babylon,
consists of fragments of silver dishes,
the broken handle of vase and coins,
most of the latter being defaced and
clipped. 1t is easy to see that all have
been broken purpOsely by practiced
hand, with the view of using the metal
again, and we may fairly conclude
that the collection is the remains of a
silVersmith's or coiner's shop. Among
the coins is Lycian one in good pres
ervation. So far as can be judged
from the vase handle and dishes. the
art is distinctly Babylonian under Per
sian influence, and the workshop may
date from the conquest of AleXanIer,

When Lafayette paid a visit to the
United States he intimated desire to
become master of an opossum, and a
Baltimore editor gladly undertook to
see that the general had one to take
home with him. Anxious to make the
most of the occasion, he proclaimed his
want in highly-spiced appeal to his
countrymen, urging them to prove that
republics were not always ungrateful
They responded cheerfully-too cheer
fully to the appeal. Opossums came
in from north and south, east and west,
until the overwhelmed editor found
himself possessed of 2190 too many. He
could not afford them separate accom-
modationS, he dared not lodge them to-
gether; 50, at night, he turned them all
loose in Monument square, to quarter
themselves as they listed. Next day
'possums were here, there and every

.SDace in the Universe.

The nearest of the fixed stars is
twenty trillions (20,000,000,000,000)
of miles distant from us. The next in
distance is four times farther removed.
If we attempt to fix an average dis
tance for the surrounding group of
fixed stars nearest our system, we could
not safely give it a radius of less than
four hundred trillions of miles. Yet
what does this involve? Light, which
reaches us from the sun in eight and
half minutes, would take seventy years
in its journey across this vast
domain of space. If the volume of
space included within our solar system
were occupied with one huge sphere of
5,600,000,000 miles diameter, even such
mighty mass would be but as float
ing feather in the marvellous spread
of empty space surrounding, This
space would contain twenty-seven hun

Murdered by q Private.

Lieutenant General Coode, of Ply
mouth, England, formerly of the In
dian army, has received particulars of
the murder of his son, Lieutenant w.
II. Coode, adjutant of the wing of the
Lincolnshire regiment stationed at
Benares. The deceased was drilling
the men on parade when two rifle shots
were fired from the corner of the bar
racks. The bullets passed close over
the heads of the men, and almost i'm
mediately third shot was fired, severe
ly wOunding private named Lilley, in
the knee. The men were much excit-
ed and wanted to scatter" but Lieu
tenant Coode ordered them to remain
steady and rode in the direction of the
firing. As he was advancing in can
ter fourth shot was fired by private
named Cocklin, who was standing out
side the barrack door. The bullet did
no damage and the man again discharg-
ed his rifle This time the bullet enter
ed the breast of Lieutenant Goodies
horse, but notwithstanding this, the
officer still courageously advanced
toward Cocklin, shouting, What are
you about, sir?" The man replied,
STAND back, sir, or | will shoot you,
too" Lieutenant Coode, when about
twelve PAGES from the soldier, was dis
mounting, apparently with the inten-
ton of seizing his assailant, when
Cocklin again fired, and this time
struck the officer in the groin. Medical
aid was quickly secured, but the main
artery of the ieutenant's leg was found
to be nearly severed and he died in
about an hour. Cocklin, when taken
to the cell, remarked that he wished he
had been able to "do" for
Sergeant Brent. Sergeant Brent had
been instrumental in obtaining a con-
viction against Cocklin's "chum" for
insubordination, and the deceased, as
adjutant of the regiment, had pros
eouted him. This is the only reason
that can be assigned for the occur
renee. Lieutenant Coode was buried
with full military honors, and a reg
mental order was issued directing
the officers to go into mourning for
three months.
