the week, precedes Sunday; work or
pleasure cuts into our nights rest; a
day of pleasure must be paid for in
advance, by day of toll When
will our people learn that rest, to be
enjoyed, must be preceded by an
interval of quiet; as the night is pre-
coded by the twilight, and the rest
of heaven by the quiet OF the grave.
THE event of the past week was
the failure of John Roach the great
Chester ship builder. The shutting
down of so large an industry is a
great misfortune, and sympathy
must be extended to the workmen
who are thrown out of employment
nj a time when labor is little in de-
mand. How much sympathy Mr.
Roach deserves, or whether his fail
ure is an unmixed evil, seems to be
debatable points. The MoTnang
Neios says:
.There is no denying that John

cerned. Whether or not it has been a
SQUARE deal we are not prepared to say.
Rnt the change in the controlling pow
or at Washington may result in bring
ing a healthier stare Of affairs so lai
as contracts are concerned "
An effort has been made to lay
the blame of Mr.. Roach's failure on
Secretary Whitney and the Demo
cratic Administration. Mr.. Roach
built up his business on a restrictive
policy and government patronage
| He has always been opposed to free
sbips. and has been Il firm supporter
of the policy that has handed oul
carving trade over to foreign ma
lions. and his failure is the natura
result os unbusiness like methods
He probably has felicitated himsel
MANY times upon the superior ad
vantages he enjoyed in the business
of building ships for the Govern
ment. But to quote from the New
York Times:
1.-THE disaster which has now com
upon him will be a revelation to him
1t will show him the insecurity OF un
businesslike methods, even for tn
party seemingly favored by. them
) Perhaps the lesson comes too late 10
his profit and instruction. But MI
Roach is a man of strong practlea
sense, and we have no doubt that If h
, were to live his life over and do hi
work again, he would keep indulgen
Secretaries of the Navy ut full arms
l length, and would insist with the mos
, downright pOsitiveness upon just cor
tracts and their faithful fuitillmen

THERE must be an immense amount
of capital laying around loose in

to take care of it; for it is announced
that two new papers will be pub

venture, ana it is announced for Au-

on the Morning Nel0s for a long

THE Board of Health has reported
to the Town Board that the slaugh-
ter houses are more or less offensive
and should be removed outside the
limits Of the town. The Town Board
ought to take action on the report
at once, as it will be necessary to
give the butchers due notice, and
time for removal. In a town the
size of Milford it would seem as
though the butchers might coop
crate and putup a building near town,
that would accommodate them all and
in that way keep the disagreeable
features Of the business all in one
place. At present there are three
establishments, one of which is in
the most crowded part of the town.
The butchers should be the first to
move in this matter, and not wait
till they are compelled to.

The use of Iodoform or Mercurials in
the treatment of catarrh--whethel in the
form Of suppositories or ointments--should
be avoided, as they are both injurious and
dangerous. Iodoform is easily detected
by its offensive odor. The only reliable
catarrh remedy on the market to-day is
Ely's Cream Balm, being free from all
poisonous drugs. 1t has cured thousands
of chronic and acute, where all other r.

into each nostril no pain; agreeable to

The Political Situation.

The recent appointment of Mr..
S. II. Buck, as Postmaster at New
Orleans, upon the recommendation
of Senator Gibson and Congress-
men Gay, Irion, King and Blanch-
ard, leaves no further doubt that
President Cleveland has irrevoca-
bly, determined to lend his assist
ance to this group of the so-called
"Reform Democracy" in the war
fare they have been waging since
the Presidential election against
the Regular Democracy and the
State administration. Indeed, no
appointment has been made by the
President that did not have the
endorsement of the Gibson group.
The President was made aware
of the fact that the movements of
the so-called Reform Democracy
had endangered the election of his
electors in this State. by their revi.
val on the stump Of quarrels that
had no place in the national can
vass; by their attempt to have the
names of 1000 registered voters
stricken from the rolls in New Or

MAD DOGS.

Late news from London, Eng
land. is TO the effect that the heat
is intense in that city, and to add
to the trouble, hydrophobia is ram
pant. there being numbers of mad
dogs in the streets. The citizens
are buying revolvers with which to
protect themselves, and there IS
danger ahead, not for the dogs, but
for the citizens. The average Lon
don Englishman could not hit a
barn door with a revolver; brick
bat or stone, would be q much
more potent weapon in his hands,
but if he ever opens up at mad
| dog with revolver, some peacable
citizen is going to get hurt.
The probabilities arc that q small
riot will take place at the frs
attempt to kill a mad dog, for ne
man will stand being shot and no
shoot back. The bullet intended
for the dog, will hit some human
and he will naturally shoot back

SUMMER EXCURSIONS.

Some Of the railroads have pub
lished in the papers. prices of e1-
cursion tickets to various summer
resorts, or what are supposed to be
summer resorts. The price of a
ticket is purely arbitrary, and has
no reference to the distance to be
travelled. For instance the price
of round trip ticket to Staunton,
Va, is given as s52.10, while to
Pittsburg, Pa, it is $55.25, diff.
ference of s.. Is, and to Lake Chat.
aqua, n. Y, it is only s51.75. To
Hagerstown, Md. it is 1880, and
to Deer Park, Nd, it is 1880,
while to Louisville, KY, it is s4O.'
90, and exactly the same to Gin.
cinnati, Ohio. 1t is a poor list
anyhow, and an excursion ticket tc
any of the Eastern cities is not to
be bought. That StauntOn, Va
or Norfolk, Va. or Pittsburg, Pa.
Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago
(price $4,000 Detroit, Cleveland
Ohio, should be called summer re
sorts is absurd. To all of thes,
places you can buy an excursion
ticket, but to Boston, New York
Philadelphia, Baltimore or Wash
ington you cannot. St. Louis i
also left out. This is mysterious
you ought to be able to buy tickle
anywhere and return. Most o
the summer resorts are near larg
cities, and an excursion ticket t
any of the cities, would put yo'
pretty close to any place yo
might want to go. 1t would be
good idea to revolutionize thi
matter, and make excursion rate
to all the important cities, an
then get from them to the countr
resorts.

Tobacco.

The fact has been pointed out
that men are on the whole as
h healthy as women, while nine out
of ten OF the male population OF
the world use tobacco, and women
as rule abstain. In the learned
professions, about one-half of the
ministers are addicted to it in some
form, likely three-fourths of all
physicians, and nine-tenths Of
members of the legal fraternity.
In looking calmly at the tobacco
question, there is one feature cal
culated to excite alarm, and that is
the habit of chewing and smoking
so widely practiced among boys.
This, to young, growing boys, is
unqualifedly hurtful. They vol
unfairly endure the FIRST disagree.

confirmed, and with an entire
ignorance of its powers, added to Q
tendency to immoderation, the

Smoking, when done at propel

MR.. WHITMARSHR'S CALF.

Mr.. Whitmarsh has fine cow,
or at least, he thinks it fine COW.
He also has a fair average vege-
table garden, and the cow has a
calf, which is now, about
eight months old, and very we'll
grown for its age. A few nights
ago, Mr. Whitmarsh was awakened
from refreshing sleep, about /
O'Clock am, by a noise in the gar
den, and looking out ofthe window,
he saw the calf, engaged in the
pastime of making kraut of the
cabbages.
AS the night was warm, Mr..
Whitmarsh, did not increase his
costume, which consisted Of neat.
ly frilled night-shirt of light ma.
terial, but sailed out to capture
the calf, and retie him, to the stake
from which by some means, he hat
gotten loose. 1t was bright moon
light, and Mr.. Whitmarsh saw thai
the rope was still OH the calf, ant
dragging behind. He thought
therefore, that he had an easy job
and expected to quietly take hole
of the rope and lead the calf bach
to the stake.
In this he was mistaken, for The
calf like all animals, was extreme
ly superstitious, and when he saw
this white object approaching hi
fed in terror. Mr.. Whitmarsf
pursued, and as the rope dragged
along just in front of him, a happy
thought struck him, and making 9
spring. he landed with one foot on
the rope. The rope slid along
under his foot, until the end of il

struck the foot. At the end was q
large knot, which striking the foot
the calf was at full run--Jerked
Mr.. Whitmarsh from the perpen-
dicular and transferred him to the
horizontal, where he lay among
the cabbages, rejecting on his
mistake.
He got up, and after racing
around awhile, scratching his legs
on the briers, and disposing of the
greater part of the frills on the
night-shirt, he succeededin getting
hold of the rope. He was in
great hurry to catch up with the
calf. however, and as the calf flew
around the garden, Mr.. Whitmarsh
had to follow suit, or let 60 the
rope. This he determined not to
do, and the result was, some fast
time around that garden. Occasion
! ly the calf would make squirt,
and Mr.. Whitmarsh would be pro-
PEELED forward, with violent jerk,
in some instances, as determined
the next morning by actual meas
urement, clearing eighteen feet at a
leap.
This style of performance, was
not conspicuously advantageous to
night-shirts, and by the time the
circuit of the garden was made,
the back part of the night-shirt was
split into inumerable strips, ex-
tending from collar band to tail
which whistled and snapped like
, whips at every leap, and giving
6 Mr.. Whitmarsh the appearance Of
!. shooting comet. A backward
glance, revealed this vision to the
calf, and increased his terror,
which was further aggravated, by
the appearance of the entire house
hold, and some of the neighbors
who hurriedly came to see the cause
of the disturbance, and who were
likewise, each arrayed in single
white garment.
Mr.. Whitmarsh was afraid to lie
q 60 of the rope, for fear of falling
a and he called to his audience Il
i. disappear, when he intended t.
. let 90 and fall. But no one disap
. peared; they stood right there
amazed at the agility displayed b.
y Mr.. Whitmarsh in his flying leaps
: and it began to look as though tn
race would be kept up until, eithe

/, denly took a straight shoot acros
the garden, and by desperat
effort, cleared the fence at a singl
# bound dragging Mr.. Whitmars
a after him, the nails on the fenc
o catching in the night-shirt, an
putting the front of the shirt in tn
same condition as the back.
The fall so much dreaded by M
