Somebody has started, the theory
that the arms ofmen are gradually
growing longer in proportion to
the length of their legs. This may
be true as to the race of CONNER

legs running around, and have
their arms pulled out Juggling
heavy yalises with them.

Those Canadians are smart fellows, after
all. One of them is said to have invented a
new method of fishing. He takes a flock of
about 80 geese to the water and to the legs
of each one ties fish-line with bated hook
attached. Then he says ''shoo," and the
geese swim out. As soon as a goose gets a
"bite" she becomes frightened and rushes to
the shore, when the man gleefully takes the
fish off the hook and sends her back again.
An important geographical fact brought out
at the meeting of the British association for the
advancement of science at Montreal shows
that we have no need to go to the Arctic for
valuable information. Gen. Lefroy read a
paper communicating the exploration of Lake
Mistassini, the discovery of which had been
before reported. This lake, situated in a re-
mote northeastern part of North America, ri
walls in magnitude Lake Ontario if not Lake
Superior, and nobody ever heard of it until
recently. There are vast stretches of terrific
ry TO the north of us that have never been
visited by civilized men, and ambitious soien-
lists may prohtably turn their attention in
! that direction.

TO the Edit0rS IF tie PhdHiI, Spending
my vacation IN Wmdham county and driving
through about half of its towns during the
past fortnight, have suffered so much in
convenience from one thing that | ask The
PhusnX to call attention to it. This is the
failure of so many towns to keep up the
guideboards in good order. The roads, as a
rule, are in good repair, although there is one
leading up the hill from Pondville to Marl-
boro which is in most dangerous and dis.
graceful condition. But in too many cases
when one reaches place where two or more
roads diyerge there is no board to tell the
stranger whittier they lead, or, if one be
found, its directions have become illegible
through the ravages Of age As it frequently
happens that there is no house near by, one
must take his chances Of being forced to re-
trace his steps when at last--sometimes not
until h5 has travelled mile or two-he finds
somebody who can tell him what board at
the corners should have done. This is always
aggrayating, and even worse than sggravat-
ing when one is in need of travelling fast
The roads Of Wiudham county present 30
many charming views to the stranger and it
is such delight to take days ride over
them, that it seems all the greater pity he
should suffer so much needless annoyance
from the negligence of many towns to main
tain good sRn-boa trust The Phoenix
will use its influence to bring about 4 reform
in this matter. OUTSIDER

Prophecies.
Sometimes you will look back to the bright days,
And think Of all our quiet happy ways
With sObs aud signs.
You will remember how we read OF talked
In this dear room;
Or, summer evenings, how we rode or walked
ThrO' fragrant gloom.
Sometimes, alone or in a busy throng,
Again will ring
Soft, clear and sweet-an echo Of some song
We used to sing;
And oft, awake or sleeping, you'll recall
This cozy room
Books, music, e'en the pictures on the wall
And flowers in bloom.
You will remember every tender word
You've said to me;
The knowledge that you've spoken no harsh word
VIII comfort thee.
Sometimes you'll weep and pray-but all In vain
As far you roam,
For one short hour to rest from grief and pain
In this sweet home.
Dear heart, grieye that must leave thee here
To walk alone;
But sometime we shall fnd each other there,
Around the throne.

One or THE SADDEsT AND MosI STRIKING
ILLUSTRATIONS of the happiness and wretch
edness that can be crowded INTO a single hu-
man career WAS brought to light here to-day
in the death, Just beyond the city limits, OF
Frank Waltz, a once well-known and respect
ed citizen Of Neuis, from starvation. Waltz,
together with his wife and four children, re-
moved 10 this city about four months ago in
toerably destitute circumstances. He had
been in business in Xenia and prospered, but
reverses came and he failed. Gradually since
then he has been drifting into poverty. until
now the life and surroundings of his family
are in startling and bitter contrast to the con-
ditions under which they began career full
of promise and happiness. For the last three
or four weeks this unfortunate family has
scarcely had bite to eat, yet they were too
proud to beg or make known their condition.
Their poverty and distress were disclosed to-
day by the death Of the father, who had had
nothing to eat for the last three weeks Al
though sickly, he attempted to work. and for
the last week he gathered boulders from the
river. Having had no food, however, for
some time, and being weak, he was not able
to do this work, and on Saturday afternoon
he sank to the ground from exhaustion. He
was taken to bis home. While in the water
he contracted a cold which was followed by
lockiaw, and he died a most horrible death.
His seven children, most of whom are still
small, were at his bedside when his death oc
Cured, and were clamoring for something to
eat The wife and children tell sad tale Of
want and misery, having had but one loaf of
bread to eat within the last week. The fam
| lily is in the most destitute circumstances and
| has suffered most intensely. When their con
dition became known to-day, the neighbors
began to bring in supplies and make prov-
sons for the relief of their suffering. - Day

Chief Magistrate Of great nation de-
bauchee, known to be, or to have been such,
is not the man to be elevated to the Office of
President of these United States. This one
fact should be fatal to him. The people
should not and, az we believe, will not, so
disgrace themselves in the sight of God and
man and defy the imperative mandate of
sound morals as to bestow this honor on any
such base proagate. What is our common
Christianity worth, and what iB our boasted
civilization worth, if such a black stain in
the character of candidate for the Presiden.
cy is, in the popular estimete, to be deemed
matter of no special consequence What
Il strange spectacle such a law breaker, if
elected, would present in the parlors of the
White House What an opportunity it would
give to Mormon polygamists to Bneer and
laugh there at the efforts of the general gov
ernment to suppress the monstrous abomina-
tions in the territory Of Utah What de-
moralizing lesson it would be to the young
men of the country What barrier to the
successful teaching of morality from the pull
pit or political platform or in the halls of
Congress All decent people, not TO say
Christian people, would have to hide their
heads with profound sense of shame and
disgust No No the majority of the vot-
ers of this country will not and cannot APP
prove of any such beastly and heathenish
standard of morality.
At any rate the Independent will do all in
its power to prevent the election of Governor
Cleveland not from passion OF any personal
animosity to the man, not because 1t is a Re-
publican paper and believes in the general
principles of the Republican party, and does
not and never did believe in those of the
Democratic party, but solely in the interests
Of sound morals, especially those of the fam
lily. Whoever else may be elected or defeat
ed, let Governor Cleveland, with the knowl-
edge the public now have of his private char
acter, have the mark Of Cain put upon him
as the fitting end of his public career. We
call upon the religious press of the nation,
and also the Christian pulpit, to speak out in
bold and emphatic language against his cleo
ton. The issue now is moral one, and
that, too, of the Prayest character and this
is no time for any timd, half hearted or half
way utterances When the religious press
and the pulpit shall cease TO teach and preach
good morals, then both will become alike un-
worthy of respect or support.

The principal discussion was over a resolution submitted by Henry L.

Goodwin's and immediately after the meet. ing passed vote of confidence in the direc- tors.
 Msssrs. Charles 4. White, of New Haven, and W. M Hudson, of Hartford, were re. appointed auditors for the ensuing year.
 Mir. Benjamin, of Stratford, was presen! and renewed his endeavors made at previous
