THE INN OF THE BRASS BULL
A Kitchen Hearth on Which Fire Eas
Been Kept Alive q Century.
Hartford COurant.

Hartford Courant.
The old inn known as the "Brass
Bull'. at Thompson was burned last
week. 1t twas the oldest house in Wind
ham county, q large wood-colored edi-
fee of the s'lean to- period, which
greatly antedaated the Revolution, hav-
ing been built in ITO. Over the door
WAS miniature bull of old-fashioned
hammered brass, which was also swal-
lowed up in The flames. In the days of
the then great New York, Hartford and
Boston turnpike it was changing sta
ton for the stage horses, and when the
stage route vanished at, the approach of
the railroads it feebly held its own as "a
summer resort. 1t had little diamond
window-panes, wide fire-places, and
outer doors cut in halves, after the orig
inal New England style, which suffered
the lower part of the door to be used as
a breastwork against the onslaught of
the Indians From it's situation on the
apex of Washington Heights, charm
ing birdseye view in the different states
OF Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and
even across Connecticut to the blue line
made on the southern horizon by Long
Island, in New York state, was to be
gaiued.
The most famous of local traditions
sprung from this Odd house. 1t was cut
up in all SORTS and number Of odd
shaped roous, and the fire on the kitch-
Ell hearth had burned for more than one
hundred years, In fact, this was the
source of the old buildings ruin, for
the continual heating of the stone
work in the great chimney charred the
oaken floor timber above, until finally
the flames burst out and consumed the
structure. For one hundred and fifty
two years it was used as hosiery,
and 1t was the occasion of General
Washington's sojourn at the "Brass
Bull that led its courtly proprietor to
dub the hill whereon it stood Washing
ton Heights.

stances, unless his health proves hIm to
be unequal to his tasks. His school
hours for the first year are not long, but
he must be in his place promptly at 8
o'clock in the morning, remaining until
10, and at / 80 O'Clock in the after
noon,' remaining until 80. Then he
brings home his lessons for the morrow,
which, with the assistance of his parents,
he must prepare to answer for on the
next day. The second year of his
school-life is little more severe. The
schools open at E in summer and in
winter, and long before children of his
age are awakened in America, 1.-THE
streets are full of little ones hurrying to
the different schools. This early class
is dismissed at 8 and 9 O'Clock, and the
children are then expected to assist
their mothers, or, as Is more frequently
the case, from 10 years of age upward,
they go to the great factories or work
shops where they are apprenticed and
learn a trade. Indeed, the school hours
are fixed thus early in order that the
children may not only receive an edu-
cation but also learn how to make q
living and help their parents to keep
the wolf from the door.

The Navy,

WASHINGTON, January 1.-The
port of the committee on navy yards Don
attention to the depreciation in the mill ,sry
marine OF the country as consequence Of
the deeadenee in the merchant marine, and
SAYS: In 1870 the tonnage Of the United
States engaged in foreign trade amounted to
9, 5z6, 257 tons, placing US second in the list
of maritime countries, and our fig wing ships
commanded universal admiration. In the
twenty years just passed, while the tonnage
OF our great commercial rival has increased
80 per cent, our tonnage has dropped to
1 1852. $40, placing us third on the list OF
maritime countries. Our carrying trade
has been wrested from US, and We have not
a single fighting ship to bear our flag upon
the sea. The United States would, in an
ticipstion of war, require five naval rende-
votz, viz: one at Narragansett Bay, at Key
West. San Frat cisco and on the lakes.

Isaac S. Sprague, the living skeleton,
duced by atrophy to 40 pounds weight,

NOR that he had given his body in the
interest of science to the Harvard med
ical college: ''Yes, the story is true,
and all arrangements have just been

l die they shall have my body;
they will first cut it open and make q
post norton examination to find out if
possible why am so thin; then they
will put the body i'll alcohol and place
it in the museum, of the college, where
it will remain, but I'm going
to need it myself for the
present; they can't have it till L get
through with it. My body will be pre-
served in the museum there as that of
Calvin Edison in the Albany Museum.
Edison died at the age of as, weighing
only forty-five pounds. The doctors,
when they cut him open, found that his
thinness was caused by the narrowing
of the thoracic duct, trouble with
which other members of his family were
affected. His face and neck were ema-
ciated like the rest of his body, but
mne are not, 50 my thinness is prob
ably due 10 something else. The phys

/, NO ALLIANCE WANTED.

Any T cup.

CHICAGO, January 4.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy declines to enter the
new western railway alliance on the terms
accepted by the four other Iowa roads. This
Is the result of two days conference be-
tween all the roads In the interest, which
closed this afternoon. The session to-day
continued from 10 a. m. to Up. M, all the
roads being represented by their general
managers. The proposition advanced to
Burlington was that 1t should join the new
pool on the same terms as the Northwestern,
but this General Manager Potter, Of the
Burlington, said be was prepared to abso-
lutely decline. This emergency had appar-
entity been guarded against, and the Bur-
Iington was re quested to state on what terms
it would negotiate. counter proposition
was then suggested that, In order to main
tain rates aud prevent war, two distinct
pools be formed, covering the competitive
business on the line Of the Union Pacific
road as far west as Denver, the Union Pa
ci6e and its four present allies, the
Northwestern, Rock Island, Milwaukee
& St. Panl and Wabash, forming one
pool and the Burlington and its
branches forming the second pool. To
this the Burlington was not prepared to re-
turn an answer, and an adjournment was
taken on the Eth inst, to receive the Bur-
lIpgton's ultimatum. In case the Burling-
ton should decide to negotiate on the terms
outlined. it is stated that it's negotiations
with the Union Pacific will necessarily be
prolonged, in view of the numerous points
touched by the two lines as direct COMPETE
tors. As result OF the conference, it Is
now positively shown that the fixed policy
of the Burlington management Is
against forming a part OF the new
alliance and signing the twenty-five
years. compact. In this view the possibility
of the board of directors OF the Northwest
crn and Wabash failing to sanction their re-
spective roads has been raised, but SO far as
it has been possible to ascertain, the, facts
are not deemed possible that any OF the four
roads 10 The alliance will withdraw. The
likelihood of the Burlington entering into
any compact with the new alliance, even on
the proposal for separate pool, is deemed
very lIncertain. As far as official express
sion is willing to go, the Burlington, in the
event Of new alliance beiug maintained,
will pursue policy independent of any
compGsts or pooling arrangements what

From Llrs. -.
A famous general and archsologist
was one day walking in Central park,
when he encountered little girl who
seemed in great distress
Upon asking the cause of her trouble
he found she had been hunting all the
morning for four-leaved clover, bat
had hunted in vain.
"And why do you wish SO much to
find one?" asked the great man.
because have been promised 80
cents fori5.''
ssLittle GIRL" said the great man, as
he seated himself in the grass by her
SIDE, 81 will give you what you seek. 81
Plucking q three-leaved clover, he
cunningly attached to it a four leaf by
means of an almost invisible wire
which he drew from his pocket. Smil-
ing sweetly upon the child, be said ::
''Now, run with this and get your 50
cents; then come back and we will d.
vide"
.'But, sir, this is not real four
leaved clover, and"
''Tut! my child. Is your friend an
Americana
"Yes, sir.''
"Then run and get your money, for
Americans enjoy being humbugged.
They prefer quantity to qnality. But
should they discover Ihe fraud-that is,
the restoration-you must stick to it
through thick and thin, and black and
white, that the leaf belonged there
originally now go.''
The little girl went, but she soon re-
turned with so cents, of which the great
man retained 40. Placing the remain
ing penny in her chubby hand, he said,
with a friendly smile, '.Be virtuous and
you will be happy" and, turning away,
he strobe proudly across the lawn and
disappeared within the recesses of the
Metropolitan museum.

had anticipated the strength of Fremont
in the pending republican convention.
Mrs. Fremont said that the democratic
nomination meant success while the re-
publican domination undoubtedly meant
defeat, but with the principles General
Fremont sustained he decided to take
the republican nomination.

ton took place Indianapolis, which was
the temporary capital of the young re-

was enacted was improved out of ex-

ness of the man was never exhibited to
such advantage rs in this voluntary
surrender of his commission just as
complete success crowned the long
struggle in which he had been the
most conspicuous figure. His address
as he appeared before congress for the
purpose of resigning was brief and
modest. He spoke as follows:
Mr. President-The great events on
which my resignation depended having
at last taken place | present myself
before congress TO surrender into their
hands the trust committed to me, and
to claim the indulgence of retiring from
the service Of my country. Happy in
the confirmation of our independence
and sovereignty, resign the appoint
ment accepted with difhdence, which,
however, was superseded by q conf
dence in the rectitude of our cause, the
