ssSLUMMINGo IN LONDON,
About the SJOlliestO Dissipation
 Known to the Fashionable World.

About the "Jolliest'' Dissipation Known to the Fashionable World. From the New York Sun.l
 "There is one English fashion which the Anglo-maniacs have not yet succeeded in in- trodu cing in New York; said the European buyer of large silk house few days ago, land that is stunning. In London. visiting the slums is believed to be about the jolliest and most fetching dissipation known to the world. The subject has been the butt of the comic weekly artists of London for some months now, and no well-regulated member of society can afford to miss summing party during the season.
 "They do it up in great shape over there you know. An Englishman must dress for every expedition, no matter whether it is a trip to Africa or walk to the corner. In stunning women run to cloaks and men to long coats. These outer garments are be- lieved to ward off disease, though exactly how they do it when the wearers breathe the foul air of the slums is difficult to imagine, When they return to the house of their hos tess or chaperone the young people all throw of their wraps in the passage, and the wraps are aired by the servants and returned by messenger the following day. A supper, more or less elaborate, follows the 'slum,' as the excitement makes all hands hungry and talkative. There are always two policemen with the party and as rule not more than fveof six people SC along. London tramps are liable to prove surly and ill-tempered when their homes are invaded.
 ''The party starts from the hostess house in carriages at eleven o'clock or perhaps mid night, although that is pretty late, and drive to the heart of the London slums. Here they wander through the quarters of the poor, the outcast and the lost ones of the great town, pushing their way into rooms where drunken louts, repulsive women and scraggy and unkempt children lie sleeping like many worms in bait box. They go everywhere, for the police do not recognize the rights of any of the paupers and bang their way ruthlessly ahead. The high born men and women gaze upon their dirty fellow creatures, visit their opium dens, their drink ing places, dance halls-or rather cellars and invade their living rooms. When they have had all their stomachs and eyes will stand they return to their supper. It never occurs to them of course that the cost of one such meal they discuss would lift mountain of misery and woe from the backs of the poor they have just visited. Philan- thropy is not proper fad now across the water.''
 'tIs there no stunning in New York;"
 "Oh, occasionally parties of men send down to police headquarters and secure the services of detective for trip through Baxter, Mulberry and Mott streets; but slum- ming is not recognized as a fashionable amusement /"

some parts of Europe, where peasant thinks himself prepared for journey with piece of bread under his arm and a handful of meal is made without olives. The olive mer chants pass regularly at supper time through the poorer quarters of the city.
 It is spanish habit to eat olives at the end of meal, but not too many. Three or four are usually thought enough, or if they are yery good one may eat a dozen. An Ital- ian author recommends the preserving of Spanish olives-that is, of those grown on Italian soil-but prefers those called St. Francis, which is common at Ascoi, where 1t attains the size of 0 walnut. It is, howev- CT, generally agreed away gourmets that the smaller olives are best for eating. The manner of treatment has, nevertheless, per hsps something to do with the coarse quail ty of the Spanish olive when found in the peninsula. Olives are preserved in Italy, as elsewhere, in weak lye or brine. They are also bruised, stuffed in the Bordeaux manner or dried
 In eastern countries, whence the olive came, the fruit forms still an important article of diet. A traveller relates that he found de- lirious a meal of eggs, olives and gsBpes of fered him by the monks of monastery of Mount Libanus. It is traditional in the Catholic church that the monks living in the desert fed principally on olives. Through out Turkey, Asia Minor, Greece and other countries about the Mediterranean and olive has remained, as in the most oncient times, a substantial article of food and a neces- ssry means of existence to the toiling mil lions.

THE sTRONGEsT CANDIDATE.

We have received reports from various parts of the State which show that the ean- didacy of Mayor Bulkeley is rapidly gaining favor. His frank and manly announcement that he was in the field greatly pleased all his friends and made good impression on those who do not think the chief excellence of pol ities is slyness; and the more his candidacy is considered the stronger it appears. We have previously called attention to some of the reasons why we think the con- vention cannot do better than to nominate Hartford's popular mayor. We do not dis parage the qualifications of the other candi- dates or make comparisons which might be considered odious, but we are firmly of the opinion that the best thing the convention can do is to nominate the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley. He is man who has few enemies and troops of friends. He deserves all the friends he has, for there is no nan in the State of Connecticut who is more friendly or more thoroughly loysl to his friends. And these friends are not alone among the rich and powerful. MT. Bulkeley has been gen. erous and true friend to many who have been much in need of his friendship. There is no feeling against him because he has money, and no reason for any. He is popular man and his popularity has been legitimately won.
 But his personal qualities, attractive as they are, and we'll calculated as they gre to win political support. are not all that his friends can urge in his behalf. He is 8 man of great ability, which he has shown in busi- ness and in official position. He has made fine record as mayor of Hartford, and is now serving his fourth term. It is we'll under stood that he has administered the affairs of the city with economy, skill and a public ford are proud of their mayor, and they vote for his reelection without much regard to party lines.
 His popularity, his ability, his excellent record as the mayor of the second city of the State, would make him strong candidate, and in addition to all this, he is one of the best political leaders in this part of the coun- try. We regard this as no small qualifca- tion. The Republicans of this State will need all the political skill they can command this fall. With Mayor Bulkeley at their head the campaign will be vigorous, enthusiastic, and, we believe, successful. If any man can make it so he can.
 Is it not, therefore, the part of wisdom to nominate him? Is it not clear that he is the strongest candidate, the one who is most likely to lead to victorys

MOUNTAIN sAm,s DOGS.
Their Exploits fin Rounding up an
 Capturing the Big Horns.

From the Denver Tribune
 Aa old trapper and hunter known as
 Mountain Sar' is doing land office bus
 ness killing huge mountain sheep for their
 heads and horns. These he ships to New
 York to fill the orders which he is constant ly receiving, and there they are mountain
 Sams best customers are wealthy English men, and many an English hall bears witness in mammoth heads and antlers of the mountin sheep, ,magnificently mounted, to Sam's prow- ess hunter.
 For many years Mountain Sam" has bur jed himself in the most remote recesses of the Big Horn Mountains. Here he is in the very haunts, hidden and deep, of the Big Horn or Rocky Mountain sheep Sam's way of capturing his willy quarry is peculiarly adap- ted to his needs anddeserts. He rounds up the wild sheep of the mountain crag, peaks, and precipices with dogs.
 His pack numbers % head, and they are pure cress of the bloodhoun and bulldog. Mountain born and bred, these noble ani- malls add to the naturel strength and vora- city of their blood strains a marvellous an durance and catlike activity. No snow depth, no roughness of trail, no steepness of preci pice, no loftiness of peak, no remoteness of locality can stop the mountain dog when on the tracksof the mountain sheep. The pack works in an organized way when the trail of band of sheep is struck. The dogs break into little punches and wide and careful circuits are made. The closely pressek sheep are hurried toward a common centre, and they will soon be punched with l 25 stanch dogs, erests erect and tails wagging, | moving about them in an endless and eager circle.
 The pack has been known to bunch 250 head of sheep, and to hold their watch and guard for over six hours awaiting the com ing of their master, who has been kept back ! by the difficulties lying in his path. It sometimes occurs that the dogs bring the game together on 8 spot that is utterly in- accessible to human feet Then the hunter gives his dogs notice of the fact by peculi- arly shrilI and piercing shout. The pack at once dash into the midst of the sheep, seize and slay the largest, and by dint of rolling, tumbling, and falling from crag to crag, from declivity to declivity, bring the carcasses within reach of their master. Those dogs trace their pedigree to pair brought into this region many years ago by a rich Englishman, who made old Fort stam- | baugh his hunting headquarters. When the | Englishman left these mountains he gave his dogs, whose worth he had proved in many a l hard days chase, to fsPap" Conant, who was l we'll known then as frontiersman. "Pap' l gave couple of pups from the first litter to his old comrade, Mountain Sam," who l thus came into possession of the nucleus o1 1 this present magnificent pack.

 The New York World calls attention to some things which have happened during the last year which show what kind of city gov ernment New York has. This is the record and shocking one it is, too: Almost an en- tire board of aldermen indicted for receiving bribes to influence their official action. One alderman tried, convicted and now serving ten years' term at Sing Sing for similar of fense. An armory commissioner indicted and twice tried, each time with a disagree ment of the jury, on charge of having re- ceived bribes for purchasing armory sites for the city at more than their just market value. An entire board of excise arraigned for malfeasance in office. The president of the Health department tried on charges be- fore the mayor, and his removal by the mayor forwarded to the governor for approv- al. The commissioner of public works brought up before the mayor on charges of malfeasance in office and his removal by the mayor yesterday submitted to the governor.

NIT. Tfbbitts Protests.

Referring to the letter which appeared in the Register of this evening, under Hart ford date, allow me to say that the statements therein contained, in 80 far as they refer to my having entered into combination to aid Mayor Morgan G. Bulkeley of Hartford to secure the Republican nomination for Gov ernor, are absolutelyfalse. should denounce them as maliciously false, did I not put upon them the more charitable construction of ignorance.
 Personal and political friends in different parts of the State have kindly given me assurances of their support in the pending canvass for the gubernatorial nomination. There may be sixty-five of these friends, according to the estimate of your core spondent who will serve delegates in the Republican State convention, and there may be greater number; but beg to assure each and every one of them, be they few or many, that am not capable of the infamy which the Hartford correspondent of the ed into my mind for one moment to repay their kindness with the black ingratitude of scurvy political trick.
 If there shall come time in the Republi- can State convention when my friends shall deem it expedient longer to adhere to me as candidate there will be no word or sugges- tion of mine to embarTass their future ac- tion. I do not assume to own my friends and I repudiate the assumption conveyed in the headline which your news editor has seen fit to put to the letter referred to- '.Bulkeley's Man Tibbitts"-that any man owns me.
 Allow me, in conclusion, to say that I dc not for one moment attribute to Mayor Bulkelev the slightest responsibility for any of the false statements concerning myself that appear in the columns of the Register to which have alluded. Towards him, as towards MT. Lounsbury, I entertain only the kindliest feeling; and no man who knows me needs to be assured that, should either of these gentlemen be my successful rival i'll the convention, he will find no warmer o1 more loyal sup porter in the ranks ot the Ranuhlican party than myself.

wild Forest Birds Around New YOrk's
 City Hall.

From the New I OrR 1rlOuuo.l
 For some days there have been in the City Hall Park number of brown threshers and orchard orioles which, to the astonishment of the oldest inhabitants, have shown per feet satisfaction with their surroundings and have remained. Usually the strange birds that come flying northward from the South to pass the summer here and to return in the fall stay only few hours, when they fly from Staten Island to the City Hall, and then depart for the Central Park or the coun- try beyond the Harlem river. But these birds have apparently found some special attraction in the shape of worms in the old turf or insects in the trees that throw shad- ows upon tho City Hall and the Court House

 A few days ago two new varieties were added to the arrivals. First came number of beautiful little birds, greenish brown on the back and yellow on the body, with pc culiar black mark like collar upon the ! head.
