 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: think if there is any place in the city of New Haven that needs an electric light it is on the junction of St. John and Grand streets. Three streets come together at that point and at night this section needs good light. The travel is perhaps as great in this locality as anywhere in the city. Nearly all teams going east go through this thorough down town and the eastern towns East Haven, Branford, etc:,-have to come through this way. And there in the center of the little point which the june tion forms stands the city watering tank for horses. have often noticed several teams standing there in the evening, which helps more or less to block up the road. That, with the constantly passing trains under the Grand street bridge near by, makes it bad for the drivers and others at night and they need all the light they can get.
 A light could be so placed that it would light up the junction and also show well down Artisan street. think anyone who has to pass through Artisan street will agree with me that it is poorly lighted.

U. G. Whittier in the Independentl Smoothing soft the nestling head Of maiden fancyled, Thus grave-eyed woman said: Richest gifts are those we make, Dearer than the love we take That we give for loves own sake. ssWen know the hearts unrest; Mine has been the common quest To be loved and therefore bleSt. s'Favors undeserved were mine; At my feet es on a shrine Love has Laid it's gifts divine. Sweet the offerings seemed, and yet With their sweetness came regret, And sense of unpaid debt. Heart of mine unsatisf1ed, Was a vanity or pride That deeper joy denied? Hands that ope but to receive Empty close; they only live Richly who can richly give. s'StiII, she sighed with moistening eyes, Love is sweet in any guise; But it's best is sacrif7ce ''He who, giving, does not crave I.ikest is to Him who gave Life itself the loved to save.

 Henry George was recently making-an elo- qu1en1lt speech in England, and was showing that the land ought to revert to the people who were its original owners, when he was rudely interrupted by an unfeeling person in the audience who called out, f'Then are you Yankees going to give back the States to the red Indians ?"

 Not only are there letter carriers in the large cities of England, but in the towns and villages and even in the rural districts, letters are delivered direct at the houses of their re- eipients. Formerly the letter carriers went their rounds afoot, but now all those in the rural districts have been provided by the government with trieyoles, which run exeel= lently on the admirable roads of England These carriers also take with them stock of stamps and stamped envelopes for registered letters to sell to the people who live at con- siderable distance from the aAice,

 A Chicago man who shoots game for liv- ing, finding that ducks are drug in the market, has taken to shooting the little snow birds which abound in certain streets of the city. As powder and ball could not be used, he began by trying stones and arrows, but being unsuccessful with these primitive weapons, he has since resorted to the air gun. His principal shooting grounds are on State and Twenty second streets The snow birds are numerous along the cable car tracks and at this season are very fat and luscious. The principal demand for them is from invalids and epieures, and they sell st the restaurants at the rate of four for sixty cents, with side dishes. As the hunter makes about $3 day by bringing down this diminutivs game, he naturally proposes to continue the sport until he is intsrfered with by the police. Though his shot once crashed through

THR FORD AT AssAYE.

It was on this occasion that the duke gave me an instance of the importance of very ordinary degree of thoughtful common sense. He described his very critical posi- tion on the march before the battle of As save, when his small force was threatened by overwhelming deluge of native cavalry, and his only chance, not of victory only, but of safety, was his getting to the other bank of the river (Kistna), which was a few miles to his right. He had some 1.-the best native guides that could be had, and he made every possible effort to ascertain whether the river was anywhere passable, and all his infor- mants assured him that it was not. He him self could not see the river, and the enemy s cavalry was in such force that he could not send out to reeonnoiter. At last, in extreme anxiety, he resolved to see the river himself and accordingly, with his most intelligent guides and an escort of, I think he said, all his cavalry, he pushed forward in sight of the river in the neighborhood of Assaye, which stood on the bank of another stream that ran nearly parallel to that which he wished to cross. When they came there. he again questioned his guides about a passage, which they still asserted not to exist; but he saw through his glass, for the enemys ceval " were SO strong that he could not venture to get closer, one village the right bank of the river, and another village exactly opposite on the other bank, and ''I i'm medlately said to myself that men could not have built two villages so close to one another on opposite sides of stream without some habitual means of communication, either by boats or ford-most probably by the latter. On that conjecture. or rather reasoning, in defiance of all my guides and informants, took the desperate resolution, it seemed, of marching for the river, and I was right. I found 8 passage, crossed my army over, had no more to fear from the enemy's cloud of cavalry, and my army, small as it was, was just enough to fill the space between the two streams, so that both Hanks were secure, and there I fought and won the battle of Assaye, the bloodiest, for the numbers, that ever saw; and this was all from my having the common sense to guess that men did not build villages on opposite sides of the stream without some means of communication between them. If had not taken that sudden resolution, we were, assure you, in most dangerous pre-

 I never was believer in him, and always thought that in the long run we should over turn him.

But, the truth was, he had no more care about what was right or wrong, just or unjust, honorable or dishonorable, than Jonathan, though his great abilities, and the great stakes he played for, threw the knavery into the shade.
 Bonaparte's mind was, in it's details, low and ungentlemanlike. suppose the narrow ness of his early prospects and habits stuck to him; what we understand by gentleman like feelings he knew nothing at all about; I'll give you curious instance. I have a beautiful little watch made by Breguet. at Paris, with a map of Spain most admirably enameled on the case. Sir Edward Paget bought it at Paris, and gave it to me- What uO you tHlHk Gu0 history or GnlS WaGcn was at least the history that Breguet told Paget, and Paget told me? Benaparte had ordered it as a present to his brother, the King of Spain, but when he heard of the battle of Vittoria-he was then at Dresden in the midst of all the preparations and negotiations of his armistice, and one would think sufi- ciently busy with other matters-when he heard of the battle of Vittoria, say, he re- membered the watch he had ordered for one whom he saw would never be King of Spain and with whom he was angry for the loss of the battle, and he wrote from Dresden to countermand the watch, and if it should be ready, to forbid it being sent The best apology one can make for this strange little ness is that he was offended with Joseph; but even in that case, a gentleman would not have taken the moment when the poor devil had lost his chateaux en Espsgne, to take away his watch also. All these codicils in his will, in which he bequeathed millions to the right and left, and amongst others left a legacy to the fellow who was accused of at tempting to assassinate me, Is another proof of httleness of mind; the property he really had he had already made his disposition of. For the payment of all those other high sounding legaeies, there was not the shadow of fund. He might as well have drawn bills for ten millions on that pump at Aid gate.

WELLINGTON ON TEE. ART OF WAR.


 In coming to see me Gas he had done the | day but one before, September ? he Ghe | duke) had chosen to walk from the station to our house, and without even guide. He said he had found it rough walk, and the ground intersected in way he had not ex- peeted; so said to him, "It seems you for 1 get to guess what was at the other side of the ] hill" This was an allusion to a circumstance which had occurred between him and me some thirty years before. When travelling on the north road we amused ourselves by guessing what seFt of country we should find at the other side of the hills we drove up, and when I expressed some extraordinary good guesses he had made, he said. "Why, l have spent all my life in tzEing to guess what was at the othef side of the hiil , I had re- minded him of this iEst as we were driving across the ravine that had impeded him, and i ne turned round to Mrs. Croker to explain it to her, adding, stAn the business of war; and indeed all the business of life, is to en- deavor to find out what you don't know by what you do; that's what call guessing what was at the other side of the hill'"
 He said the perfection of practical war was to move troops as steadily and coolly on field of battle as on parade "Soult's fault was that, though great strategist, he never seemed to me to know how to handle troops after the battle had begun" I then told him what Guizot told me of Lannes having said that f'le plus grand general etait celui que la cannonnade faisait mieux extendre, ct que h funee fai- salt vols plus elair." (The greatest general IS he whom the canonnade makes hear better and whom the smoke makes see more clearly.)
