NELSON ,. LEE.
How He Carries On His Work In
Connecticut.

The Morning News, New Haven, Con
necticut, upon which Charles Reynolds
formerly on the News of the city, is EN-
ployed has been looking up the work OF
Nelson j. Lee, q former apostle of tenn.
perance in this city, but now operating
in Connecticut. The history of Lee
from the time he left this city until the
time of his debut in Connecticut, has al.
ready been publithed in the REPUBLI-
CAN, but the following extract We clip
from the New Haven Morning News
exposure in relation to Lees operations
in Bridgeport Connecticut
Nelson j. Lee is the name of man who
has gained considerable notoriety by
conducting temperance meetings
throughout the New England States.
Providence, Il. L., was for long time
his base of operation, but recently he
has turned his attention to rescuing
from the depths the drunkards of the
State of Connecticut. His took in
trade is An impudence almost colossal,
a-whining, q hypocritical air, and a fe-
male brass band. He lately. operated
several weeks in this city, during
which time he quarreled with all the
local laborers in the field of temper
ance, lied about them, and made him
self so obnoxious that his depa rture
from the city was hailed with joy,
which was none the lest fervent be-
cause it did not find public expression.
From New Haven he went to Bridge
port, and he is there at present
In Bridgeport Lee has been copspi-
cuOus after fashion which has not
made the christian temperance ppeope
Of the city universally enthusiastic.
As usual he has posed as beggar night
after night, and has not been wanting
in shame-facedness. Despite cordial
support given for the sake of the cause
he pretended to represent, the fellow
has boldly and coarsely attacked the
city, its ministers as well as its lay
men. In a communication sent lately
to local paper Lee attempted to be
smart by averring that Brldgeport's $
citizens were so thoroughly and de-
spisedly mean that were band of
angels from heaven to visit them the
angels would starve to death unless they
brought their lunch along. This fling
was at a people whose chari y has sup
ported Lee, and not only Lee but also
his band Of variegated fddlers, for
weeks.
Bridgeport temperance people raised
some hundreds of dollars week or
two ago to buy tent to accommodate
temperance assemblages. Mr.. Lee
calmly claims this tent as his own per-
sonal property, so far as can be learned,
and few days ago when he announced
that he proposed to remain Iii tie long
er to gather up the crumbs, he stated
with characteristic generosity that the
tent would be allowed to remain too.
AS a sort Of reprimand TO Bridgeport,
Lee has abolished the free show feature
of his work, and now levies an admis-
sion fee of 10 cents upon each man and
woman who visits the tent
His unparalleled impudence has not
unfrequently served him well. He has
even presumed to pose as good and
man in the presence of men
with his record, and fully
aware of his cant, hypocrisy and vile
deeds.

ImpOrtinQ Cattle.

T. S. Cooper's fifth importation of
Jersey cattle was landed on Monday at
the foot of Noble street, Philadelphia,
from the steamship Marengo, direct
from the Isle of Jersey via. Southamp-
ton. The herd comprises 1888 head, all
told, exclusive of FIVE diminutive po-
nies, direct from the Welsh mountains.
There are 1876 COWS, two bullsand forty.
six calves, twelve Of the latter having
been born on the passage over. The
vessel encountered rough weather dur
ing the first ten days of the voyage, and
three COWS and four calves died.
The cattle were accommodated be-
tween decks-fore and aft-the allow
ance of room per animal being 3 feet
and inches by s feet. Although rath-
er thin, the cows are in what is consid-
cred good condition after an ocean vOy-
age and on being hoisted to the upper
deck, one at time, in large box de-
signed for the purpose, they were led
down a gang-plank to cattle cars stand
ing on the wharf and taken direct to
Coopersburg, Pa, by a special train.
There they will spend the quarantine
period, after which the calves and
about ninety.fve of the cows will be
taken to New York and sold at auction.
The remaining forty cows are to be
added to Mr.. Coop RS breeding herd at
Coopersburg, which now numbers about
thirty, headed by the $4,000 bull Pc
dro Some of the cows just landed are
from the best blooded families on the
Island of Jersey, Primrose, the dam of
Khedive's Primrose, which sold for $5,-
100 in New York last May, being among
the lot. Old Fanchon is a.so along. as
well as daughter Of Phillis, by Khe-
dive, and the dam and ten daughters of
the noted bull Nonparei. The two
bulls are 2-year-olds, and, although
fine looking fellows, are not particular
ly well bred

The Flower Business.

Two or three years ago in the Acade-
my of Music, New York, a huge bOu-
quet had gone down to Madame D.
Swift DOtti. In receiving it she made
an awkard movement and the big
flower fell over and was pretty badly
smashed
"Ill make her pay for that" the
florist exclaimed, evidently in great
anger.
''Why," he was asked, "hasn't it been
paid for already?"
He looked around rather alarmed and
walked off. The bouquet had been hired
for the occasion, but there was no insur-
ance on it and Madame Dotti was evi-
IDENTIFY to be made responsible for dam
ages to it.
The same flower piece has done duty
three nights in succession for as many
different actresses i'll as many different
theatres, and perhaps after all 1t was
pulled to pieces and made to do duty for
some marriage party.
Madame Patti was very kind to the
flowers she received and to those who
sent them. There were nights last sea
son when five and six hundred and a
thousand dollars, worth of flowers We're
sent across the foOtlights to the greatest
of prima dOnnas. What was she to do
with them? When she had loaded her
carriage down and left the place only for
herself and Nicolini, wha5 was to be-
come of the rest. And then her physician
told her that she must not have flowers
in such profusion i'll her room at the
Windsor. He advised her of their dead
ly effect when fading III bouquets, and
Patti, who has n splendid love for life,
quickly determined to bring home no
more. What then, again, was to be
done with them?
The curious spectacle would present
itself of lot of half ragged chorus sing
ers going home of a night bearing flower
pieces that singly cost more than their
individual salaries for one or two weeks.
Patti would invite her favOrites into her
dressing room and tell them to choose
for themselves, and away they would &c
