At negro baptizing the other day
a slim preacher took fat sister down
into the water Of bayoa Just as
he dropped her under the water, she
slipped from his grasp and glided
under the root of a large cypress tree,
from which sad entanglement it was
impossible to eXtricate her Until life
was extinct. Thepreacher, without the
slightest show Of embarrassment
raised his hands, and, turning to the
crowd, exclaimed:

How Squirrel Escaped Jail.
Hartford Courant.

For some months Mr.. John S. Will
liams, of Ledyard, has kept a tame
gray squirrel in his house. A week
ago he brought it to Mystic River and
presented it to James Brown. The
cage was put in he livery stable, and
soon after it was discovered that the
squirrel had escaped, and all efforts
made to capture it were unsuccessful.
Monday last the little animal put in
an appearance at its old house in Led
yard, having travelled six miles
and crossed the river to reach home,

THE CoUNTERsgGN.

Twas near the break Of day, but still
The moon was shining brightly;
west wind as il passed the flowers
each one swaying llghty
ne sentry SLOW paced to and fro
faithful night-watch keeping
While ia his tents behind him stretched
His comrades, all were sleeping
SLOW 20 and fro the sentry peced;
His musket on his shoulder,
But not a thought Of death or war
Was with the brave young soldier
All no his heart was far away
Where on a western prairie
A rose-twined cottage stood That night
The couytersign was Mary
And there his own true love he saw,
Her blue eyes kindly beaning;
Above them, on her sun kissed brow
Her curls like sunshine cleaning.
And heard her singing, as she churned
Her butter 10 the dairy
The song she loved best That night
The cOuntersign was Mary.
"Oh. for one kiss from heri" he sighed,
When up the lone road CHANGING,
He spied a slender, little form.
With faltering steps advancing;
And as 10 neared him silently
He gazed at it Ia wonder;
Then gFipped his musket In his hand
And challenged, Who gees yonders

GOVERNOR CLEVELAND, of New
York, has had the courage TO veto a
pension biIl-one which provided a
grant of $12 per month to survivors
of the Mexican war. 1t would not
be bad thing if the Presid ent of
the United States would now ex-
ercise a little of the same kind of
courage. Lately the granting of
pensions has been carried to
ridiculous, if mot ruinOus extremes.
The bills are purely political, those
who vote for them caring little for
the poor ex-soldiers who are to re-
ceive the money, but being exceed
ingly anxious to obtain their votes.
The President dears not record a
veto, fearing he may injure the in
terests of his party. It is about
time that iustice to taxpayers
should take the place of generosity
to soldiers in this matter. All
praise to Governor Cleveland, and
let us hope his manhood will prove

Now THEY have mining boom
in Pennsylvania. It is true, the
keystone state has long INDUCED in
black diamond mining, but the
present excitement is over the
striking" of gold, which, py the
way, is interspersed with "pla-
tinum, iridium and mercury"
Wonderful stories are told Of the
new find. but so far no account is
given Of the discovery Of Lodges of
canned meats, ready-made clothings
or bottled whisky, all of which are
necessary in a successful mining
camp. Honest old farmers living in
the neighborhood of the new mine
are said to be digging as they never
dug before, working late and early,
in the hope of finding fortunes
buried in their farms. Lebanon
county is the scene of the excite
ment over the precious metals dis

few weeks longer eastern people
can visit a live mining camp with
out coming out among the barbar-
ians of the far west.

TIE Boston Advertiser wants
che Massachusetts: Legislature to ap-
peal to Congress to expunge the vote
of censure passed on Cakes Ames'
And why shouldn't this be done !?
Ames was less corrupt than the
men who accepted his money as pay
for their votes. But whatever
wrong he did, sthe good he did over
balanced it, and the east, no less
than the west, owes him much. He
and his family Suffered deeply for
Ames' sins. latter all, his wrong
doing was Erather to be expected
than otherwise. The country was
passing through a period of the
most fragrant corruption. Honesty
in Congress and among public men
was the exception rather than the
rule. Official roguery, bribery and
theft began during the war, and
were in high feather when poor
Ames was caught up with. Matters
were IN a frightfully immoral state
when the people took them in hand
and the reform began. Ames was
one of the first TO suffer from the
purif wing process then inaugurated
He went down.iand since him scores
have followed. The cleansing is not
yet complete, but it has progressed
a long way in that direction. 1t has
goae so far that the country can
now afford to forges the misdeeds
of the old man, to whose enterprise
and energy is largely due the fact
that the west was blessed by rail-
road long before ,onelswould have
been built, if theiIwork had waited
for the careful, honest, business
men of the cOuntrylto construct it.
The Unien sPaciic1,::has erected a
monument to Cakes Ames, and now
let Congress wipe out the evidences
the stain that is upon it.

DIVORCE IN New Hampshire goes
on to the extent of one notification
to every ten marriages. In 1882
there were GA divorces; little
more than one-fourth being for the
scriptural reason. A most extra
ordinary showing, however. is in
regard to the impunity of proved
adultery, There were eighty cases
on that ground, and yet only two
cases of imprisonment are reported.

A VIRGINIA paper advocates a
law forbidding the manufacture OF
weapons having more than one bar
rel, saying the invention Of the
revolver is the most unfortunate
discovery in the past forty years.
If weapons had but one barrel, half
the people who shoot would be
obliged to return to clubs or their
fists to perform effective work. La
nine cases out of ten the first shot
misses the mark.

TRE HoPT CASE.

The recent action of Chief Jus.
tice Hunter in the Hopt case should
meet the commentator of all good
citizens. The statute which THE
HERALD quoted the other morning
in regard to the staying of exeeu-
ton in case Of appeal is apparently
legislature "bull," and though it is
found IN the criminal code, it was
never intended to apply to criminal
causes. Appeals are allowable, and
the manner of perfecting them is
prescribed in the same chap
ter, the judges being pow
erless to prevent the carry
ing of an action to the higher
courts. In the case of murder, it
car be taken to the United States
Supreme Court. The section refer
red to, however, puts it in the power
o. the justices to make an appeal
a highly ridiculous farce, In-asmuch
as their refusal to sign the certif-
cate would compel the execution of
the sentence, regardless Of the ap-
peal. The unfortunate fellow who
was hanged would care little as how
his appeal in the earthly courts ter
minated. Hopt has been twice
tried and on each occasion a YER
dict of guilty Of murder in the first
degree has been promptly returned
by the jury. The case
seems to be clear against
him. There is no sympathy for him
in the community. His crime was
one of the most brutal and heartless
sver perpetrated, and in the judg-
ment Of the public, if ever man
deserved the extreme penalty of the

The Woman Who Refused the General at
the Last Moment.
Boston Letter in Chicago Inter Ocean.
In my last letter had something to say
about the author of ga Modern Hagar." She
is Mrs. Clark, not Miss as the printer got it.
She married prominent Southern lawyer
before the war; He has since died, and she
has come into a small patrimony recently by
the death of an eccentric relative in New
Orleans She was once engaged to be mar
rted to General Burnside, and actually APP
peared before the altar with HIM. The
thought truck her, as she says before she
uttered the irrevocable words that she was
making a mistake. So in few words she
made known her conclusions to the expect
ant groom and the waiting minister and re-
tired from the scene as gracefully as posi-
BILE.
They only met once after that It was
during the war. Mrs. Clark was commits
stoned to carry important dispatches to JEFF
ferson Davis. To do this she had to pass the
Union lines. She baked a painful of raised
biscuits and hid the dispatches in them.
While travelling South she was arrested on
suspicion. Learning that General Burnside
had command of the nearest division of the
Northern forces she demanded to be brought
before him. He recognized her. She said
she was going to Mobile, and asked for pass
and discharge. He only hesitated a mo-
ment and then wrote out one in silence and
handed it to her. docs that contain your
lunch?' he asked, pointing to a small basket
which she carried in her hand YES"
LET me see it." She opened the basket,
displaying the biscuits. Twill you try one,
General? they are pretty hard" The GEN
eral refused to taste the proffered dainty, and
ordered good dinner to be served for her,
and then put her on the cars himself
The dispatches were so important that she
received the thanks of the confederacy for
her service, and was lionized through the
South where she served in Southern hos
pitfalls for long time afterward.

THE HEATH EN- CHINEE.
He Is Landing in America in Considerable
Numbers in Spite of the Law.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-Suspicions have
for sometime existed that many Chinese have
been permitted to land from the Chinese
steamers who, under the restriction act, are
not entitled to that privilege. A loophole
has been discovered to exist under article
second of the treaty, which permits any
Chinaman, other than laborer, to come to
the United States if provided with certifi-
cate issued by the Chinese government inden-
tifying him as engaged in other pursuits than
that of laborer. The steamer Rio Janeiro,
which arrived on Sunday, brought 132 China
men for San Francisco, II of whom hold
traders certificate, issued by officials of the
Chinese government. Notwithstanding the
strongest external evidence of their being ig
norant Chinese laborers they were ALL with
the exception of six, permitted to land. The
steamer Coptic which arrived last month,
brought ia Chinese ffty-four of whom held
similar certificates issued by officials of the
Chinese customs Fully 80 per cent of both
lots belong to the common class of workmen.
When that circumstance was called to the
attention of the custom-house officials here,
the reply was that they had no power to go
back on the Chinese governments certi6-
cate.

MIR. BLAIR's COMMITTEE.
A New Hampshire Man Protests Against
Its Invasion of That State.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct, 15.-The SUBJ
committee of the United States Senate COM
mittee on labor and education visited the
Amoskeag and Manchester companies, this
morning, where the process of cloth-making
was obtained. The committee returned to
the Manchester House, when the examina-
ton of witnesses was resumed. John d.
Swain, superintendent of the Nashau Iron
and Steel Company T. B. Crowley, Of the
Cooperative Iron Company, and others test
flied concerning their respective industries
Father Mcdonald, of Manchester, disputed
the right of a congressional committee to
come into New hampshire and inquire into
the affairs of its people. Senator Blair re-
piled that the citizens of New Hampshire
were citizens of the United States. and Con-
gress surely had power to send its committees
anywhere within the United States to gather
information needed by either house. The
committee had no desire for compulsory tes-
emony, but if he knew any grievances of
the working people they would like him to
state them. Father Mcdonald then COM
pla1nd that the tenement houses were badly
constructed, being too hot in summer and
not properly heated IN winter, and that no
supervision was exercised over the supplies
furnished by the clearinghouse keepers,
which were often very bad.
