ELIZABETH SANDERS BR0OKFIELD'
Worn with the feryid turmoil of the day,
To calm, cool, umbraged heights I Wend my
way,
And midst creations delicate and grand,
Involved in deepest reverence I stand,
Bathed in the vapory, golden, warm sunlight,
I view the swift-winged fowls homeward
flight,
Behold the upper, paling tints Of cloud,
That melt into deepened flush, and crowd
Around the SUMS grand western Temple doors,
AS slow with splendid retinue believers
Himselfinto the glittering azure waves
Which glowing golden-gated shores coil lave
With tidal ebbngs awesome and profound;
Or flowing, echoing, throbbing, restless sound.
Thought crowds on thought, strange flash in
flash of light
Glide swiftly by my clear, enraptured sight,
And all the elements of this strange sphere
Air, Water, Earth and Fire to me appear;
And with faith muse on their mystery,
And on the glory of the great To Be.

years past, and as opportunity offered have
allowed ourselves to note their character
istics. Our friendly readers may be IN
structed in hearing our impressions. The
lecturers may be divided into two classes
one of which represents the philosophical
tendency, the other the purely literary.
In this division there exists a certain
diversity in unity, and not the opposition
one might imagine. But before entering
into their separate characteristics, we must
nome the gentlemen who, in the School of
Philosophy, represent the two classes. of
course the changes made in the programme
from year to year forbid US from a perfect
classification. Lecturers appear at the
school for a single session, invited for
special reason. But there are a few who
seem to be more or less permanent. We
shall therefore speak only of this latter
class Prof. W. 7. Harris, D. I. Snider
and 7. H. Emery, Jr., may be reekoned in
the regular philosophical section; +. B.
Sanborn and John AIbee in the literary
section. The miscellaneous lectures are
given by we'll known men and women, as
DR.. Bartol, DR.. Hedge, Miss Peabody, Mrs
Howe aud Mrs. Cheney, Julian Hawthorn,
and many others. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
usually diScour8es on some theme conr ected
with social ethics; Mrs. E. D. Cheney
speaks for art. Both are held in high esti-
nation at Concord. Both maintain all the
higher views in relation to woman'8 social
and political elevation, and the equal edu-
cation necessary to this Mrs. Howe has
the manners of an aristocrat; bit her voice
is that Of the Boston reformer-a tons Of
mingled irony and pathos. Give to her
style little more boldness and she would
be satirist. Her early poetry indicated
much mental and spiritual suffering, which
now, inmiddle life, she appears to have con-
quered by practical activity. Sometimes
her lectures dimIy remind us of the mem
Dry Of the wrongs and suffering she has
herself felt. But her inward spirit
is all changed, having turned away
from self-analysis and self pity to
sympathy for others; and perhaps this
change is 8ymbolically represented by her
abandonment Of poetry Of the subjective
order for prose-speech directed to pur-
pose and an end,
Mrs Cheny is a being Of the healthy,
hearty kind, whose nature must always
have drawn her toward others rather than

The Mexican Visitors.

The Mexican visitors.
 To the EDITOR of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 New Haven will do we'll to welcome the Mexican visitors who are coming next week in hearty manner, both on account of their deserts and for our own sake. Among their number are men whom any city ought to delight to honor. Some of the names, strange and unfamiliar as they sound to us, are household words in Mexico, names not of journalists merely, but of statesmen and philanthropists, which belong to men fla nous not only in connection with the papers over which they preside, but from their in- dividual efforts in the arena of public life. It is n condescension on our part to be grac- ious to these men. They deserve honor.
 Conjointly, moreover, these gentlemen ex- ercise no small influence over public opinion and public acts in their own republic-a re- public with which we are daily growing into closer communion, and the commercial rela- tions with which now ring as @ matter of the first moment in our foreign politics. These visitors are, on their tour, gaining much in- formation and collecting precious data as to American institutions and industries and ways of life, which will be of value, not to themselves alone, but to their country and to ours.
 There are unquestionably many points in which Mexico would be benefited by the in stitution of closer relations with the United States, from which we in turn would not be without our share of profits. In the note books which these gentlemen are industrious in filling will be found data enough for the formation Of a whole code of treaties | and facts enough to convince \ whole college of republics that treaties are desirable. These same note books may yet become power in international politics every leaf being persuasive tongue ready | with cogent oratory of facts and figures ts ! urge the people of Mexico to fill the markets I with American-made goods. Both for ou, own sakes, then, we have said, and fo l their deserts, we will do well in striving tc l do them honor and welcoming them, if witl | something short of the "courtly Spanish ! grace" at least with hearty American hospi tality.

A STARTLING LOSS.

There is one source of waste in this coun- try to which more attention ought to be paid, and that is the loss by fire. The fire losses during the last five years in this country have been about $10O,0 1000 year, and last year, just to make the hard times seem harder, they reached $110, ,000, 900. If they keep up through this year they have thus far they will exceed even those of last year.
 It is difficult to realize just what such loss es mean, and a writer in the New York Com mercial Advertiser has done good service in making some comparisons which help to give an idea of what 8 loss of $100, 1000, 900 year is. The cotton crop has an average money value of about $500, ,000, 900. Let one third of this be wiped out from any cause, and there would be 8 national panic and the southern States would be impoverished. Last year we had bountiful wheat crop, the money value of which is estimated at $420,- GOO, ,000; the loss of one-third of the crop would have impoverished all the wheat-pro- ducing States, yet we reduced to worthless ashes an amount of property exceeding one- third the value of the wheat crop. The fire
 
 gold, silver, copper and lead production of the country by over $15, 900, 900; but suspend those industries for one year, and vail of distress would go up. The coal product of the country is less valuable than the proper ty burned each year. To replace the prop erty destroyed would require the labor of 2,000,000 men year. If, as estimated, 5000, ,000, or one tenth of the population, are producers, the fire loss imposes $2O tax on each one of them; the cost of running the national government is only about $5 per capita and our great national debt could be paid by tax of $35 per capita The whole country is divided upon the question of the tariff and the subject is made political is- sue, yet the revenue derived from customs duties is only about one-third more than the value of the property we burn up every year.
 These comparisons are impressive. And the worst of it is that the great fire losses are attributable almost entirely to malice, | carelessness and recklessness. How to re- duce them is a conundrum which might we'll engage more attention than it does.

 The raison d'etre of mosGuitoes has long been puzzle aven 10 the most erudite scien- tists, and to it's solution the New Orleans Times-Democrat is now bending it's great in tellect. It prefaces it's conclusions by saying that if there was any profit advantage in profanity, if there was any public interest subserved by keeping one awake all night long, would know at once why mosquitoes exist, and appreciate and honor them. Hith- erto, however, in the judgment of suffering humanity, mosquitoes have been only "a vexation of spirits as the Bible used to say before this, sentence was revised out of it; and it has remained for Galveston politi- elan to discover the uses and value of these little swamp birds. It is not that they are, as Prof. Riley claims of locusts, good culi- nary or gastronomic production-there would be too much cannibalism in this-not that they are the natural doctors of the swamp. It has frequently been claimed that their cupping and bleeding was beneficial to those living in malarial countries; but the Calves ton discoverer goes a step further and asserts that the mosquitoes feed on malaria and actually withdraw it from the system with the blood. They are the creations of nature to protect the denizens of the swamps from the malaria there prevailing. They are found in all swampy and marshY countries, without regard to the latitude and are worse in Alaska and Siberia than in the swamps of Louisiana. The general belief that they are peculiar to southern countries Tests on no true basis, for they hover around the north pole itself and nip the unfortunate explor- CTS,
 The doctrine advanced by this Galveston discoverer of this mosquito theory is, that if properly applied these little swamp pests are protection against malaria of all kinds. withdrawing the poison from the blood and leaving the man in perfect sanitary condi- tion. If, however, the mosquito-the bless ed visitation sent by nature to protect and invigorate man-is driven of, If protection is sought behind bars and the little insect. while performing it's duty and purifying the blood, is driven off or annihilated, as is ire quently the case, the malaria aeounulates in the system until one is completely overcome by 1t and falls g victim to some malarial complaint. His advice, therefore, is, never kill 8 mosquito, never interfere with one when feasting with you, never use bar, and you will never suffer from malarial disease, or be prostrated by debility, fever or other complaint. This may seem unpleasant at first, but in the course of time you will be- come accustomed to it until the mosquitoes bite actually becomes fnvigorating, refresh ing and pleasant. It is like smoking, drink ] ing and nearly everything else, an experience

come doci1e at once under the treatment of these dogs from the distant Highlands of Scotland. They herd together like sheep, and, instead of fighting among themselves or attacking their herdsmen, think only of obey ing the colley's barking and travelling in the direction the animal bids them. That the dogs do this by instinct is, of course, impos- sible, for when they first saw ostriches they must have been prodigiously astonished. They perceived at glance that their long legged charges were neither cattle nor sheep, nor yet men; but they watched what the mounted drovers did, initiated their manou- vres and so soon improved upon them that two men and one dog now do what it used to take eight men to accomplish.

This is the way an attempt is made to talk him to death in one count of the indict- ment Louis Riel, being a subject of our Lady Queen not regarding the duty of his allegiance, nor having the fear of God in his heart, but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the devil as a false traitor against the said Lady Queen, and wholly withdrawing the allegiance, fidelity and obedience which every true and faithful sub

 f1 never use bar.' the Galvestonian told the reporter; although I have three of them locked up in my wardrobe at home. The bite of mosquito is to me one of the pleas antest sensations and I also consider it healthy. When I was sailing before the mast in lumber trade, between Calcasien and Galveston, with swamps along the Louis jana coast swarmed the myriads of the genus culex, which would settle aboard the vessel in dense clouds, driving the captain and crew below to the shelter of the mosquito nets, while would remain on deck all night and let lem bite away. I have always been free from the levers prevailing along the low tion to the fact that let the 'skeeters' bite me as much as they pleased, as I am conf dent they purify the blood and free it from malaria" There are hundreds of persons who can testify to the same thing. It has always been regarded as a strange circum- stance that the swampers working in Louis jana swamps were not afflicted with malarial complaints. An investigation will show that it is due to the fact that they are not afraid of mosquito bites, and will prove further that when mosquito bars are intro duced into camp more or less sickness inevit- ably follows. We offer this theory to the public as one worthy of an experiment. Abol- ish bars for 8 week or two, sit quiet and raise no objection to the surgical operations of the little cuppers and you will see the truth of this assertion demonstrated by general improvement in health and ani- nal spirits.

STOP! THAT WILL DO !

We simply meant to say we had now begun to make our goods cheaper in order to get all the summer goods sold in time. Cheap enough to make sure of all being sold before the end of the season.
 But we thought we would try a little of the highly intelligent style of advertising now so com mon in this good old town, and we copied some of the brightest gems. Our goods will not be any cheaper on that account. Nobody's goods are any cheap CT because they advertise in that way.
 OUR GOODS WILL BE MADE CHEAP ENOUGH TO SELL THEM, and to sell them in the face of the keenest competition possl- ble in New Haven.
 It is a we'll known fact that our stock is usually cleaner of old goods-that means, is more effectually cleared out" every season than any other of the size in town.
