under the present rude and slovenly

effected under a thoroughly organized

He hoped to soon again meet us on

He then bade the regiment farewell

1t Is reported in the New London
Telegraph that a uumher of distin-
guished persons, including NJ. dc
Rnustan, the French Minister, some
members Of the Spanish Embassy. and
three young ladies, daughters of the
British Minister, went crab fishing at
New London last Sunday and had ex-
cellent sport. making n great catch Of
crabs aud acquiring mighty appc-
tite for their luncheon. The Telegraph
also Informs US that each member Of
the party attended church and said his
prayers duly, before going out on this
crab-fishing froIIc.
1t is remarkable what great change
has come over American society with
in the last twenty years In regard to
the Observance of Sunday. 1t Is no
longer the stern aud austore day Of
silence and solemnlty which 1t was
when the Blue Lava ruled Connpcti-

any other form of festivity and diver

Fatal Explosions.

Two fearful explosions occurred at
the quarri-s about Syenite last Tues
day, one in an ontside quarry of Mr..
Milne and the other at Mr.. John Ar
nold's quarry. The first explosion
took place at Arnold's quarry about
2o'clock in the afternoon, and while a
hole was being filled with powder for
blast. Several blasts had been fred
off just before, we lenrn, aud 1t is sup
posed that the heat of the rocks from
these caused the powder to ignite while
preparing for this last one. In the ex-
plosion Mr. Arnold's face was terribly
burnt and his body badly bruised;
VIM. Mackey was severely powder.
burnt; Jno. McArdle's face and hands
were frightfully blistered, and several
Others, whose names we did not learn,
were more or less injured.
About four o'clock a premature blast
occurred in one of Mines outside quar-
ries, in which M. Vailee was cut across
the abdomen and his bowels exposed.
He fingered in great pain until two
O'Clock Wednesday morning, when
death came to his relief. The blast
had been prepared ready to be fired,
and when the light was touched to the
fuse, which must have been defective,
the blast Immediately exploded with
the above result. Mr.. Vallee, we, be-
lieve, was the only one hurt by this

1t is pathetic story of persecution
that Pastor Downs Of Boston and Mrs.
Tabor tell. The gas was not turned
out, as alleged, but only turned down
low enough to keep the temperature of
the room from rising above the platon-
ic standard, and to shed q dim, reIigi-
Gus light over the scene. It was also
"to reduce the temperature' that Mr..
Downs had removed his coat and vest.
The cloth wherewith the keyhole was
covered had been put there before by
Mrs. Tabor. because she had once OBJ
served the sheen of human eye-ball
through that keyhole. II they were both
sitting on the side Of the bed when Mr..
Tabor and the detectives smashed the
door in, 1t was because the three chairs
to be packcC." AS for the frequency
of Mr.. Downs previous visits to her,
he says they were made q necessity by
the very nature Of her trouble with her
husband, and that the freedom of the
Intercourse between her aud her pas
tor was the result Of her having tried
his friendship ''in thousand ways."
Protesting that there was nothing
criminal in the freedom Of intercour.e
that made him spend so many even
ings in Mrs. Tabor's little bedroom,
Mr.. Downs asks, "Who Is there that
calls himself a man that would have
done less?" And yet no man but a
pastor very innocent or very presumpt-
uous would have thought Of doing SO
much without attracting the attention
of Mr.. Tabor and his detectives. Any
other married man would have thought
1t more prudent to see Mrs. Tabor at
his own house, or to take his wife
along il it was necessary to visit the
lady frequently In her own room at
night.-Pest-D Dispatch.

She's drawing quite near to the month o

And having enjoyed herself through the va

She views its conclusion with much tribula-

No doubt, when they think Of 1t, echo her
wishes.

Disenchantment.

She stood on the cool piazza
AS the shades of evening fell,
And l gazed on the lovely maiden,
Entranced by her beauty's spell.
The balmy evening zephyrs
Played with each golden tress;
And her azure eyes were swimming
In sea Of tenderness.
Her lips, Just slightly parted,
Were tinged with the coral's fame,
And though that her cheeks brigh
bushes
The hue of the rose would shame.
While gazing In admiration
On the rare and radiant lass,
thought sweetest music only
Through those coral lips could pass.
But sudden change came o'er her,
Gone was the smile so bland;
And she smote in sudden xnger,
The back Of her lily hand.
And she cried, "Ha! ha. J've got you,
You'll trouble my peace no more;
You're the same darned old mosquito
That tried to mash before!"
