THE LEGISLATURE.

M
 The weary and dreary legislature whose ac- tiou and inaction the people of this State have for many weeks been obliged to occa- sionally notice is nearly through, and it's end will be welcomed "with joy and not with grief It has been chiefly distinguished for talk, and much of this talk has not even been interesting, let alone being useful Very done. Perhaps the most prominent feature of the proceedings was the passage of the Short Haul bill, which is expected to prove 8 sweet boon to the people of this State, but which will probably not help the people or damage the railroads half much as some of it's advocates have hoped.
 Speaker Simonds has made fair Speaker The proceedings of the Senate have been pre- sided over by Lieutenant Governor Cooke with grace and dignity. No orator or leader hitherto unknown has made his appearance in either branch. MT. Newton has been a reli- able and judicious chairman of the Judiciary committee. Senator Robertson, of the New Haven district, has been a prominent mem Der of the Senate, and his previous experi- ence in the lower branch has been very use full to him and to his constituents New Haven has been unfortunate because she has had, most of the time, but one representative in the House, but that one has made himself felt. MT. Troup has added much to his rep utation as legislator during this session. He has been weighty and influential in de- bate and has looked very carefully after the interests of his constituents and the people of the Sta5e. No man on the Democratic side of the House has had as much influence as he. He has sturdily opposed all ttjobs, and has been almost invariably on the right side of important questions.

THE DEMOCRATIC s.mACu1NE ;,


 It appears, from reports which come from Washington, that there are some old-fash- toned Democrats left, and that they believe something should be done to help the Demo- cratic party stay in power. The Virginia Democratic leaders are, it is said, asking for early attention to the political situation in their State, and there are indications that within short time some changes will be made in important offices there. Ohio Dem ocrats are also calling for the assistance of the administration. The Democrats of Ore gon represent that they can carry the next legislature and thus secure Senator to fill out the term now vacant because of the neglect of the Republican majority to choose a successor to Senator Slater, if the administration will oust federal officials who make use of their places for political ends In regard to Oregon it has been submitted to the President that seven federal officials of Portland dominate Republican politics in that State, that they control the machine, and are now laboring in behalf of the Repub- lican party. It is charged that the rule of this clique of officials really caused the breach in the Republican party which prevented the election of senator last winter; that section of the Republicans re- volted against the despotic sway of the Port land ring, and that the interests of the people generally call for the smashing of the poli- tical machine. The President has been ad- vised also that the Portland federal officials are now endeavoring to persuade Governor Moody to convene the legislature in special session for the sole purpose of another eff fort to force in the bolters and elect sen- ater, but the governor refuses to issue the call unless an agreement is entered into be- forehand that a senator shall be chosen. The Democrats contend that the removal of the objectionable federal offceholders will give them fair chance in the next election, and that with such chance they can carry the legislature.
 Some of the good Democrats of Connecti- cut are, we believe, also anxious that Civil Service reform shall not proceed so fast and 50 far as to keep out of office men who would be useful in an attempt to get control of the Connecticut legislature. It will be interest ing to see what the President will do about offensive Democratic partisans. It is prob ably safe enough to bet that enough of them will get into office to keep fthe machine" in good working order.

How Does an oyster Make Hts SheIl3 Professor Lockwood in the Journal of the New
 York Microscopical Society

How Does an oyster Make Hts SheIl3 Professor Lockwood in the Journal of the New
 York Mcroscopical Society,"
 At recent meeting of the American asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science paper was read asserting that the extreme age of an oyster is twenty years. Now I had previously, in an article in the Popular Sci ence Monthly, demonstrated that an oyster might be in fair edible condition at the age of thirty years Here are the shells of one of the oysters the characters of which the statement was based. This double shell is thirty years old, and the inclosed mollusk was large and in fair condition. In building it's shell the oyster starts with the hinge eye, at the spot known to conchologists the umbo. A small plate or single scale represents each valve, and that is the first seasons growth The next season new growth or plate shoots out from underneath the first one, just the shingles do. The oystermen call these laps or plates sfshoots," and they claim that the number of shoots indicates the years of the oyster. They tainly do contain record of the seasons, showing the slow growing and fast growing seasons. But there is often great difficulty in clearly differentiating these shoots. The record is often obliterated in places by the sAA>AA or tubes upon the oyster. I have ikenel these shoots to shingles. Now, at the gable of house these shingles may be seen edge wise. So on the one side of an oyster shell is a series of lines. This is the edgewise view of the shoots or season growths. An other factor is this purple spot or scar in the interior of the she'll It is the place of at tachment of the abductor muscle. Its first place of attachment was close up to the hinge. Had it staid there until the shell had become adult, how difficult would be the task of pulling the valves togetherl The leverage to be overcome would be so great; for we must bear i1 mind the fact that at the hinge end the valves are held by this black igament, which is, in life, elastic, swelling when the shell opens and being compressed when the animal draws the valves together. So with every years growth or elongation of the shell the mollusk moves the place of attachment of the muscle on ward, that is, an advance further from the hinge As it does so it covers up with White nacre all the scars that are back of the one in actual use as the point of attachment of the muscle This you can prove by eating off with nitric acid this covering, and thus exposing the whole life series of scars or at tschments.

A new game has been evolved in Berlin by an ingenious adaptation to circumstances. The rooms under the arches of. the Berlin City railway have been used for variety of purposes-restaurants, storehouses, shops and hygienic establishments. Someone wanted to have 8 ninepin alley there, but un- fortunately the alleys ought to be seventy
 length of thirty-fve or forty. Hereupon it occurred to the engineer Kiebitz to let the alley run up one side of a room and down the other, in the form of letter U. If the course had been made flat, as in the ordinary alley, it would have. been very difficult, if not impossible, to direct the ball so as to hit any particular pin. This would have made the game one of chance alone, and deprived it of all interest. But this difficulty was overcome very ingeniously. The outer side of the course is raised considerably all round the curve, the highest rise being at the mid
 dle of the U, from which the boards sink gradually toward both ends to level. The appearance is that of a curved-bottom trough, bent into horseshoe shape in such a way that at it's middle one side is brought up into the air and forms angle there of per haps forty degrees with the floor. The re- suit is that, according as the ball is sent with more or less force, it rises more or less on this hill as it whirls round the curve, and comes to the other end on one side or the other or in the middle, as may be desired. The incest gradations of play are possible.

A CAsE-HARDENED PRINTER.

An illustration of How the Sons of
 Faust Become skepticaI and Cynt-
 cal.
 From John Swinton's Paper1
 The sons of Faust apt to be a skepti- cal, cynical crew. They see so many sides of life, and so far into them all, that they in danger of assuming fixed attitude of in credulity or mockery, and of losing all their enthusiasm.
 Look how they F'box the compass" as they pass from office to office. Take for example Pop Rednose, who is now turning forty. He got his first job as an apprentice on the Evan gelist, and set up so many sermons urging him to repent that he determined to become ssint. He had just reached that point when he got the sack. His next job was on Abbe McMaster's Catholic Register, which soon led him to doubt the truth of Protest antism, and brought him to the very edge of the ancient Roman church He had just about made up his mind in favor of auricu lar confession when dirty proof of one of the Abbe's illegible editorials landed him on the sidewalk. His next sit was on the Truth Seeker, which soon brought him to a total unbelief in all sorts of religion. He became a sub on the Times, which made him a Re publican and sent him to the war, but came back to case Manton Marbles World, and soon turned up a solid Democrat. He. left the dailies, got job on teetotal weekly, found out the horrors of drinking and solved to quit liquor; but in two months got fatter job on the Wine and Spirit Merchant, where he set up the praises of the ruby" and saw it was necessary to his health. He soon got weekly job on a moral reform pa per, spent his time over copy against the to- bacco habit and determined to tLrow away his pipe; but he got fatter thing on the To- bacco Leaf, where he read every day of the charms of the Virginia weed, to which he soon returned. From an allopathic weekly which led him to take ealomel with his regu- lar diet, he went to homeopathic monthly. which taught him to never go beyond the millionth trituration of a speck. After a. while Freemasonry was the thing, as he put in type an article on the thirty y-ninth degree, and latterly he has been disposed in favor of civil service reform, as he tinkers up the leaded brevier of Mir. Ford's Brooklyn Un- ion. But, after all his experiences here and there, Pop Rednose has become thorough skeptic and cynic, with sheer for every w philosopher, and firm faith only in printers ''fat''

PALM ER'S LIVER PILLS.

We doubt if there ever has been placed on the market, such Perfect and Effective Liver Pills for the cure of Biliousness. Bilious, Sick and Nervous Headaches, Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, Mala- ria, Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Distress After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth.< .< Liver Complaint, Nausea, Piles, Diseases Incidental to Woman, Indigestion, De pression of Spirits; Purifying, Enriching and Vitalizing the Blood and Restoring and Renovating the whole system.
 NEW HAVEN, CONN.
 I have never found in all my practice, any Liver Pills of so great value as Palm CTS Liver Pills for the treatment of Bilious ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all disorders caused by a bilious state of the system. They are entirely unlike all other Pills, and are marvel to all who use them. DR. l. 5. MILLER.
 These Pills are not Quack or Pat ert Medicine. but have great Medicinal Virtue and Power. So eminently sue cessful have they been, that our best physicians and most worthy citizens furn- ish us with testimonials of cures effected. which seem miraculous and would hardly be believed, were it not for the abundance of proof and it's unquestionable reliability.
 Ask for Palmer's Liver Pills, and if your druggist does not keep them, don't allow him to put off on you any other Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine, which they say will answer equally as we'll, but insist upon taking no other but Palmer's and your druggist will get them for you.
