find these people in the hotels and on board the trains and horse-cars, and which. ever way you turn they stand before you. As l stepped on board the train to return the first seat was occupied by a woman wheezing with asthma, ns if the effort for every breath was more than it was worth. The next was occupied by the railroad hog, who sat brnced mp in one end of the seat and his feet on the other, pretending to read a newspaper. In the next n man sat coughing as if that was his main busi. ness, and his benevolent fHce sepmed to Say, you can sit with me, sir but the mass of eXpectorated matter at his feet forbade. The next was occupied by young couple who had just got married, or were about to, and were oblivious to all surroundings but themselves. In the next sat lady leaning against n friend, with face ns white as the rays of the sun that shono upon 1t, whose days were apparently near ly numbered.
 Passing into the next car I found the same state of things with slight variations. On opening the dpor of the next was met by cloud of tobacco smoke that nearly took my breath away. The occupants seemed half asleep from the effects of the narcotic, and to all appearances the cares of
 he world were not uppermost in their minds. Finding here a vacant seat I en- dured the smoke, and was glgd when we reached tho statiou and were once more permitted to breathe the pure air of Po- mona.
 If any who shall chance to read these lines have passed the first stages of con. sumption remain where you are, md make the best of the few days that remain for you. In nine casrs of ten you will receive no benefit from Q change, but rather in. jury, aud when person is sick there is no place like home.
 There are more deaths in Los Angeles County from consumption than from all other diseases combined, md, as far as Can learn, are all imported. If people, when they have the first symptoms of pull. monary disease, would come here and re- main, the chances arc they would recover, or add many years to their lives, but to return after becoming acclimated here would be very likely to cause return of he trouble. Mir. E. r. Whiting of Hol- yoke came here in July, hoping to be ben. efitted by the change, but has failed rap. idly and died yesterday, and to-day his family return to Holyoke with the remains, and this is only n repetition of what is be, mg done continually. c. .L.r.

 Hartford Times The situation of the Columbia farm, owned by MT. s. r. Tick. nor, the purchase of which the Legislative committee is said to favor, as a better place for the State Agricultural School, is probably better situation than the Times in its article last week suppose though whether'it is desirable for the state to buy place, when they have good one now, which Is given to it, and on which the state has made great improvements, Is an- other Question-particularl as MT. Storrs stands ready to give a clear title, as he af- firms, unclouded by any legal flaw. But we desire only the good of the state, in this matter of the school. and therefore wish to correct any seeming disparage- ment of the Columbia place which the ar ticle referred to may have conveyed. And first as to the location. Gentlemen living in Columbia assure us that it is but trifle over two miles from Hop River station. That three-quarters of a mile of this is uphill, cannot be helped, and 1t is unfOr- tunate-as is the present situation in Mansfield so far from railway station or village. On the other hand the Chest nut Hill station, on the Air Line road, which is two miles south of the Ticknor farm, takes one by nearly level road to the spot-which is only about forty or fifty rods north of the public green in Colum- bia, and is said to be the most desirable farm in the place. That it is really a good farm is indicated by the fact that it has cost MT. Tickner $10,OO0 without the chief (and nearly new) house on it--or g, 500 more than is now asked for it, the owner being in hopelessly poor health, and for that reason only being desirous of selling. It contains a spacious modern house, built only four years ago at cost of &, ,500, and good farmhouse, which cost $1 200, and which is also nearly new. The farm contains nearly 200 acres, all or nearly all very good land, % acres of meadow which has been cultivated, 35 acres in upland plowland, and lot of tim Der in all, perhaps 70 acres of cultivable land of superior character, and the farm is said to be good for % head of farm anil mals. Two acres of it have just produced 600 bushels of potatoes, and 309 bushels of onions were gathered from half an acre. Moreover the farm is convenient to village stores and public library is but two

 | Dan de Quille, describing Virginia City in the Cincinnati Enquirer, mentions some curious effects of the great elevation of that town, which is some 1000 feet above the level of the sea. He says Our atmosphere is very light. In some re- spects this is an advantage, while in oth- CTS it is the contrary. For instance, water boils here at such low tempera- ture that it is difficult to cook many arti- cles of food by boiling. This is lnys- tery that the uneducated cook from places nearer the level of the sea can seldom be made to comprehend. Why her peas remain as hard as bullets and her beef like stick of bass wood she cannot un- derstand for, explain it as you will, she is of the same opinion still-which is, that boiling water is as hot in one place as another, all the way from the highest peak of the Himalayas to the shores of the Dead Sea. Though the cook cannot be made to understand anything about atmospheric pressure. she will presently learn that by means of close fitting pot lids she can confine the steam, which can be made as hot as the steam of any other region,

Hon. John W. Marvin, of Deep River, republican senator from the twenty third district, is lineal descendant of Captaln Reynold Marvin, of Lyme, prominent pefsonage in the history of that town, and brides himself considerably on his ances- try. He is rccOnte1tT of no mean ablll- ty, and tells several stories of his former ancestor with great gusto. Captain Key hold was not only militia officer, but also rich landowner, and 8 deacon of the church. and professed to be governed by divine communications. On one occasion shiftless fellow -townsnan, who was &C., quainted with the captains hobby. went to him and said the Lord had sent him there for cow.
 ''Of course, if the Lord said so, you must have cow," said the deacon, "but what kind of COW did he designate, milch COW or farrow !s
 "A new milch COW, replied the follow.
 ='Indeed! your communication must have come from the devil, for haven't any new milch COWS :" and thereupon the in- dignant captain chased the bafied beggar from his premisee.
 One day while riding through the stl eets of the town hes beheM pretty Betty Lee standing in her fathers d Ior. Refining up his horse he said, solemnly:
 "Bettv, the Lord sent me here 10 marry you
 Though taken hy surprise, Betty de- murely answered, The Lords will be done.
 Peter Lee had profound contempt for the captain and his divine pretentions, and by al the means in his power endeavored to break up the match. <. But he was un- successful, and in a short time the follow ing notice, which shows the captain was also a band and wag, appeared on the church door, as it was the custom in those days to announce from the pulpit con templated marriage:
 ''Reynold Marvin and Betty Lee
 Do intend to marry,
 And though her dad op- posed be,
 They can no longer tarry,"
 They were married, brought up large family of children, and in due course of events, were gathered to their fathers i; and on an old tombstone in the Lyme cemetery can still be Fseen the following inscription

Walter was the only remaining son, aud was endeared to all who knew him by his atfectionate disposition.
