Byington in the Norwalk Gazette says in

Byington in the Norwalk Gazette says in his tribute to General Logan: s'Though per haps not technically one of the greatest sol diers of the war, he was so ahame with patri- otic ardor that everyone about him caught the inspiration, and anyone who may have been present at the grand review at Wash ington at the close of the war, when the long lines of battle-scarred veterans passed in front of the White House, will remember the wild and vociferous cheer that rent the air, exceeding in volume that which welcomed any other hero of the finished war, as Black Jack rode proudly past the grand reviewing stand. This was but a sample of the interest and enthusiasm he always inspired at the front, and since taking his seat in the Senate almost invariably the first Senator sought out by visiting strangers from the galleries was General Logan. We remember to have heard Gene ral Grant remark of him as soldier that he had slearned to know that whenever he or dered Logan to have his command at given place at o'clock in the morning he could al- ways depend on their being there at half past g. He was an incessant and toilsome worker, and but for the aid rendered him by one of the most helpful and devoted wives any man was ever blessed with, he would udtc DIOA0A OOHA 1OuS nSO, AOOuSe anu fls5 orous as he by nature was both in mind and body"
 A Testing of Bridgeportss Electric
 Lights.
 The o'clock train from New York Tues day afternoon brought to this city some of the best talent in the United States in their peculiar line. The party consisted of Pro- lessor Morton, Professor Guire and Professor Jacoby from Stevens Institute of Technology at Jersey City, department of tests. The common council recently passed resolution authorizing the lamp committee to have the electric lights tested by competent experts in order to ascertain whether the city lights are fully up to the 2,000 candle power called for by the contract. Acting under this resolu- tion the committee have engaged the services of these gentlemen who are continually called to all parts of the country to make similar tests Professor Morton has recently made tests of the electric lights on the Brooklyn bridge, and not long ago had to make similar trip to Texas on similar bus mess. The professors brought their instru ments with them and were met by the lamp committee and shown about the city. Last evening the professors started out and tested ten lights in different parts of the city, for the purpose of making up their averages. They expected to return to Jersey City last night carrying their notes with them. In two or three days they will have the result fgur ed out and will at once send their report to the lamp committee, who in turn will make a report to the next meeting of the council.

 OLD sAYBRooK's NEW CHAPEL.
 The new chapel just completed at Say brook Point was dedicated Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The Rev. Messrs. Brush, Paine and Ches-borough made remarks and offered prayer. MT. Paine, in the course of his address, said that the money for building the chapel was given outside the town, with the exception of that given by one family, and that persons on the Point gave the money for furnishing. The building is called Me morial chapel.

 MANsFIELD's INcENDIARY FIRES.
 Another barn was burned about 12 o'clock Christmas night This is the third incendi- ary fire within couple of months, and all quite near together. This last stood but little over mile from that of MT. Popple which was burned a few weeks ago. It con- tained 15 head of cattle, including yoke of good oxen, one horse and six sheep, hay suffi- cient to maintain them through the winter, farm implements, some grains, etc., all of which were destroyed, except one COW and four of the sheep, which escaped from the burning building. Martin Flaherty was the owner of the barn and lives about half a mile from Eagleville, and inasmuch as he does not always live in harmony with all men, it is supposed that some one with whom he has had trouble has taken this cowardly revenge. The property was not sured.- Hartford Courant

The Interstate Commerce bill, or,
more properly, the bill to regulate rail-
road tariff, is now before the Senate and
an effort will be made to have it consid-
cred at an early day. The commission
charged by Congress with the ~investiga-
ton of the subject during the recess,
labored in~telligently and necessarily,
and as a result the report submitted is
comprehensive, able, and bristles with
facts and law having a bearing upon the
important topic. Asa foundation for the
proposed measure the commission de-
clare, and quote extensively from author
tiles to prove, that Congress has the
power to regulate the traffic, without the
Intervention of a constitutional amend-
ment, and that there is an absolute and
immediate necessity for its so doing.
This conclusion will meet with a hearty
amen from the thousands of shippers
and merchants who have been so long
and are still the victims of an unjust and
unnatural discrimination. If the in
genuity of the legislator a devise a
scheme by which there will be anything
like equality and justice dispen ed by
the great corporations to their customers,
a new dispensation may be truly said to
have begun. In a proposition OF such
vast proportions and involving such
great interests, the incest care will nave
to be exercised in the adjustment, but 1t
ascertain that if the start is once mace
time and experience will eventually sug
sest such changes and improvements as
will make the law a public blessing and
a benefit alike to the companies ana
their patrons.

DIR. GoTTHE1L, ofthe Reformed Hebrew
Church in New York, in a recent lecture
referred to the teachings of the famous
Prof. Felix Adler as "a cheap
religion" Prof. Adler, who has
a large following, and whose lee
lures are among the most popular
in the great metropolis, in replying to
the remark said 81 did not hear DR..
Gottheil's lecture, but l can give you an
outline of our religion. When DR.. Got
theil says that ethical culture rests on
the destruction of all faith,' his state
ment implies a misunderstanding of our
position. The absence Of faith in the
minds of thousands on thousands of in
telligent persons is a fact which will
hardly be disputed. The object of
the ethical movement is to supply
a new religious basis for those
who have lost their old faith. Our pur-
pose is not destruction but construction;
it is not negative, but positive. We do
not prescribe a new creed, but we say to
those who have lost the beliefs of their
childhood, and are drifting aimlessly,
that there are certain elements Of reli-
gion which no skepticism can touch, and
these are the most precious elements of
religion mean the grand moral truths.
ethical culture is an attempt to in
spire hope, new interest in life, by
pointing out to men that the perfection
Of orr moral nature is the trna aim of
human existence. If DR.. Gottheil
thinks that this kind of religion is a
cheap religion, he is very greatly mis-
taken. 1t is very much easier to profess
a nominal belief in certain doctrines
prescribed by the church than to go hon
estly to work with a view of perfecting
our moral life. That, l should rather
judge, is the most difficult O. religions. l
have merely outlined our belief, but
shall take more space to refute the charge
at a later day."

JUST now the dramatic publications of
the United States are worrying them
selves as to who is the author of the
words of Little All Sid, as sung by Billy
Sweatnam. MI. Dalziel, in a recent
issue of the Chicago News Letter, attri-
butes the authorship of Little All Sid to
Dan O'Connell, the present editor of the
Wasp, at San Francisco. This is all a
mistake, and we do not believe that Dan
O'Connell will share in the fraud by a
uuiescent silence. Little All Sid was
written by Milton C. Speer, a we'll
known Eastern journalist, and will be
found over his name in the Wasp OF
December 80, 1882. Mr.. Speer was in
ill-health, and after wearing out the eli
mate of Colorado, where he wrote u
number of quaint little dialect poems,
(which the writer of these lines used in
the Denver Republican, he went
to California, and there wrote the pretty
poem under consideration. The files of
the Wasp will show that what we here
state is a fact. The author came to Butte
and here passed from earth to eternity,
leaving behind many productions supe-
rior to Little All Sid, in appetite and liter
ary sense. Deceased was a brother tothe
well-known lawyer and politician, the
Hon. W. 0. Speer, of this city. The.
MINER will in due season publish the
posthumous works of MI. Speer.
