CANAAN, CONN.,. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28 1883.

S1SSu grave year, latuer udN SSG Out for Brazil in a merchant vessel, leaving this short adieu to his wife,
 "'You can say have gone South on business, Mehitabel, but yow must know shall never come back. am tired ot living in torment, and you will be glad 1 to part with one who could never please ! you. So farewell.
 "'Yours in command, | "JoNATHAN JARVIS
 ''Mother was frantically angry at first. | She raved in her own chamber over what she termed moral insult, but as day after day came on, and her lonliness and weakness got out of her, she began to see things more honestly; and when thenews came that the ship had foundered at sea, and all hands perished, then she was en- tirely prostrated. As she told me, her past life rose up, looked her in the face, and struck her down.
 'I was born after my fathers depart ure, and very long illness carried her to the gates of the grave. She recovered at last, a stern and saddened woman, with only one interest in her life, but she brought me up with strictness and care, tenderly as she loved me, and when I was about to take up life for my self, she told me this story and gave me this ring.
 {" If had killed the little foxes;;' said she, sadly, I might to-day have a goodly vineyard of my own. Beware of them, Hetty. They have spoiled my life.
 "And after all, Mabel, my father was not lost on the wreck. He was picked up by another vessel and, under an as- suned name, lived on in Brazil. In the grasp of mortal illness, he wrote to his wife, asking and giving pardon. It was from him that all her wealth came, but she never forgave herself"
 "Poor grandmal" sobbed Mabel, "and I have been so horrid to her!"
 "It will console her for all her freaks, my darling, if you only profit by. her pitiful story"
 The next time Grandma Jarvis came over Mabel greeted her with stringent hug and a heartfelt kiss, not at all of the clam-sheu order.
 "Gracious exclaimed the old lady, withdrawing herself little to look at Mabel but she saw the brown eyes fill, and her own grew dim.
 t'Go along, child, go along!" she growled under her breath. "And now you've got your lesson, don't forget it,
 It would have been hard for Mabel to do so, when the exquisitely wrought tea set that adorned her table through all her married life bore on every cover the sly and eager head of tiny fox, and the very cream pitcher had for its handle the slender body of the treacherous animal, its eager head peering over the brim and its long, bushy tail curving outward at the base. Many and many time when some triaing matter irritated her, and a quick or stinging word rose to her lips, glance at the tea set shut her pretty mouth just in time; and when Grandma Jarvis came into Boston year after Mabel's marriage, to eat her Christmas dinner at Mr. Selden's she nodded quaintly at the lady of the house as she said: "I con- gratulate you now, Mehitabel I can do 1t with clear conscience. It's been good hunting year, see."
 Mabel oolored and laughed and her husband stared, but nobody explained.

'sGath'' says: s'The word Democrat
has had little meaning to this genera
ton. There has not been a Democratic
hero for thirty. five years. The LIST two
were General jackson and DR.. Van Bu-
rem. Van Buren, was the hero because
he revolted against the party and
beat its candidate, and Mr.. Tilden
helped to do it. Not the slightest in
terest or admiration now attaches to
Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan,
Breckenridge or any of them. No po-
sition of the Democratic party since the
first settlement Kansas dare it put into
its platform to-day-silly opposition to
the the course of events in its latter
record. The name incites no tears no
lively faith, no noble "reminiscences that
are not very ancient history. In the
name of local self-government- it en-
deavored to force slavery into the
great west by act of Congress and Guam
teren's bands. In the name of the peo-
pie it endeavored to keep !, ZOO, 900 slaves
ncompetition with the free labor and
immigration of the countrc. 1t declared
the war a failure and the public debt
swindle and despotism, and irredeem-
able paper money q curse of morals and
safety.
The Kansas City Journal says lead
ing pork packer who ought 10 know
what he is talking about, declares that
a large portion of the lard manufactured
in Chicago contains about so per cent
of pure lard, the other half being made
up of tallow, cotton seed oil, water and
clay. He further claims that in order
to protect the public and the honest
portion of the trade Congress should
legislate on the subject.

France as a Great Military power.

a
After Napoleon defeated Prussia at
the battle of Jena, that nation defer
mined to be revenged. 1t reorganized
its military system, the basis of which
was CONSUMPTION, which trained every
man, capable of bearing arms, to be a
soldier. 1t took almost a generation to
effect the transformation, but the result
was seen in the overthrow of Austria,
the consolidation of the German power,
and lastly by the crushing defeat of the
French at Sedan, and the final capture
of Paris. France, therefore. deter
mined to profit by the experience Of its
great enemy. It proceeded to reorganize
its army so as to make it the nightiest
engine of war in the world. The plans
were far reaching and will not all bear
fruit until 1891 but to-day France pos
sesses about 2,500,00O able bodied, fully
disciplined. and well-armed soldiers.
OF course the army actually enrolled is
not so large, but the drill of all the able
bodied men is constantly kept up; and
it is said so far as mere numbers go,
France is a match for Germany, Austria
and Italy combined. Its chief deficien-
cy is in trained officers, but these are
fast being supplied. Already this great
military republic is beginning to feel its
strength. It recently conquered Tunis,
and is claiming sovereignty over Mad
agascar. De Brazza is on the Congo
with his French troops in order to pos
sess himself of central Africa The
news just reaches US that a French con-
tingent is conquering Toquin, China.
But of course these are mere skirmishes
before the great battle by which France
means to repossess herself of Alsace and
Lorraine. The one passionate aspira-
ton of every Frenchman is that the Ger
mans would be as deeply Inundated as
the Frenchman was by the result of the
last Franco German war. Clearly the
era of peace and goodwill to men is
still far way off. Europe is vast
camp and the mightiest conflicts the
world has ever seen are yet to be fought
to decide whether the Teuton or the Gaul
shall have the mastery in Central and
Western Europe.-E Demorest 8 Monthly

The Great Northwest.

The great increase in travel to the
Northwest, has forced the ''Famous
Albert Lea Route" TO put upon its line
magnificent dining cars, in which pas
sengers will be served meals second in
quality to no first class hotel, for the
small sum of seventy-five cents each.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway, which controls this route, has
always maintained a reputation for
giving travellers first-class meals on its
Dining Cars, and in putting on this line
the same class of cars, it fills a want
that the travelling public win appreciate.
''The Albert Lea route is carrying
a very large share of the Northwestern
travel, and, although early in the sea-
son, Ihas commenced to sell tourists
tickets to the various pleasure resorts
in a volume sufficiently large to guar
antee an immense summer traffic.

Times: Some of the democratic pa
pers are making great ado over the
fact that few friends of Judge Kelley,
of Pennsylvania, have united to pay of
the old gentleman debts. Perhaps
they would have preferred to leave the
debts unpaid after the true democratic
style. The fact that Judge Kelley, af-
ter twenty-five years in Congress, during
which he has lived in the utmost sim
phcity, finds himself obliged to accept
assistance, is at least good certificate
TO his integrity. If his friends were all
millionaires they couldn't pay the debt
which th country owes him for sis
long labor In the cause of American in
dustry. We hope to got him to come
to Missouri next year to give Mr.. Vest
few elemental lessons in political
economy. He will show the democrats
of that benighted state the difference
between discussing the tariff question
and caterwauling about it.

Capital; The crop prospects through
out Kansas as we learn by careful ex-
animation of the exchanges from every
part of the state are unusually good.
The season has been somewhat back
ward, tthe cold weather affecting the
corn crop somewhat, but an extraordi-
nary acreage has been planted, and as
there is plenty of time to mature the
crop the best results may be expected.
The cool weather has been of great adj
vantage TO wheat, oats, grass, and veg
etable crops. Fruit promises a fair crop
and in view of the many backsets expe-
rienced by farmers in states south and
east of Kansas by reason of cold wealth
er and long continued rains, Kansas
may be said to be very fortunate indeed.
The exit aordinary grass crop is bringing
forward rapidly, in good condition, the
immense number of cattle in the state,
and this interest, so fortunate in secur-
ing large prices the past two years will
be found very profitable again this year.
Many immigrants are coming into the
state and Kansas promises TO come to
She front with & boom.
