MIR. snIPMAN FIXES Al MoSumENr SITE.

The death last week of Rev. T. L.. Ship man, of Jewett City, recalls story which the genial old parsol was fond of. telling to illustrate his own fathers decision of character
 Od- of the most interesting Indian leg ends If the nutmeg state deals with the tragic close of q war between the Mohicans and the invading. Narragansetts. Milan tonoInoh, chief of the latter tribe, was taken prisoner, and, after some delay and with the approval of the colonial legisla- ture, was solemnly tonlahawked on the scene of his capture. His royal foe was appointed executioner; and, as he per formed his work, he vengefully took from the shoulder of Miantonomoh bite of flesh, exclaiming: "rhat was the sweet est lnorsel Uncas ever ate l"
 To commemorate this incident the anti quarians of New London county, and es- pecially of Norwich, within whose limits the affair occurred, resolved many years afterward to erect a monument. But liv- ing witnesses of the occurrence had passed away, and there was difficulty in determ- ming the proper spot. At length the task of designating the site of Miantonomoh' 'r execution was imposed upon Nathaniel Shipman, on acconnt of his familiarity with these traditions and with the topo- graphy of eastern Connecticut. Accord ingly, one day, seventy odd years ago, q delegation of prominent men, headed by MT. Shipman, proceeded to the cornfield where now stands the monument. March. ing boldly up little riBe of .gtound, the antiquarian went straight to the. center of the Knoll, and, withont hesitation, planted his staff in the ground, remarking "Thrre, gentlemen, is the spot for our stone" The party was accompanied by Rev. Father Shipman, then mere child. At the tea table that evening the youngster who had b en deeply impressed by the in. cident, ventured to inquire
 Father, how could you tell precisely where Miantonomoh died ?'' .a. " but rharao' eristic reply, "I felt that it wal no time to h4lk."

 He produced box of fine cigars, each with neat paper band about it's waist, on which glittered in letters of gold the name of my host There was nothing further remarkable about the cigar. It was an 'Imperialis, costing probably $16 per 1OC in Havana. Thes special band may have added another s5 to that figure.

PRoF. STOWE AND Hrs WIFE.-It was as Harriet Beecher's husband that this emil nent and worthy theologian was known. He did not object to being known in that character. He was as proud of his wife as tver any great man was of greater woman He was in an exquisite sense her public She depended on his judgment, and had his labor, suggestion and counsel. They came to her irradiated by affection, but not biased by it. His critical sense was fine. His sympathy, imagination and taste were exeeflent His loyalty. to art and truth in writing was beautiful Theirs was an ideal union. Always Mrs. Stowe was womanly and reverential to that de- gree which resented the sentiment that placed her consort in any derivative or secondary position. Far better writer than herself she held him ever to be- His own books she insisted on regarding as worthier of immortality than hers. She thought the age wrong which thought Brooklyn Eagle

An interesting feature of the recent Grand Army gathering was the attention paid by some thousands of the veterans at Los, Angeles to the children of John Brown. The veterans had gone down there for day's excursion. The fact that Jason and Owen Brown, together with their sister and her husband, Mir. and Mrs. Thompson, are living near Pasadena, and were in town, did not seem to become known to the visiting soldiers until late in the afternoon. When it was known, the children of the old hero of Ossawattomie were put into carriage, the horses unhitch- ed, and with a long rope attached the Kan sas, Iowa and California boys formed in procession and hauled the family through the streets, the band at the head of the line playing "John Browns Body" and the whole enthusiastic crowd singing the stirring battle hymn and cheering. The demonstration visibly affected the occu- pants of the carriage. When the proces- sion reached the depot Owen Brown made pithy and characteristic speech.

We give the following from an exchange without being able to vouch for it's value. but kerosene has certainly 8 wonderful cleansing power. Kerosene is found to be an aid on washing day. This is how one woman uses it: She says her washing is winter, is more easily done, and that by the time the clothes are ironed, the un- pleasant smell has disappeared. "The night before, put clothes to soak in warm water with enough soap dissolved in it to make good studs. In the morning wiring out, if very dirty rub very lightly in the hands put in the boiler with cold water, two-thiFds of bar of soap and two large tablespoonfuls of kerosene, let boil at least twenty minutes after they come to boil when take ont, let cool enough to put through the wiring CT again, then rub thro' clean water, blue and starch (With a little of the oil in the starch) and your clothes will satisfy the most fastidious.

A house on fire is London toy which would no doubt delight children who love excitement. Two firemen stand and work a fire engine, while a third climbs up a ladder to tue top story window, into which he plunges head foremost, subsequently, reappearing through the ground. Another clever idea is boy's violin, containing a musical box. In pressing the violin to the shoulder a spring is touched, which sets the musical box going, and the boy can then accompany the tune on the dumb violin. .-,a.' .etE .E .t''f

LOCAL TOPICs-PENN'D AND sCIssORED,

The Stafford Ag7ichlsIEaI B06ietg gets it's hiohest compliments from the adop- tion of it's features by other societies, When other societies were permitting open pool selling, and thinly disguised (sometimes undisguised) liquor sellings the Stanokd Sbdee8, hy hse f detectives and skilled police, has as far as posslOie- rooted out all these nuisances, and the re- suits, in large attendance, and that of the best class of people, has induced other so-' cieties to do likewise.
 And we shall also see other societies fols lowing in it's wake in the new departure, partially made last year, wholly to be done this year. of employing experts to do the judging in all classes. The old way was to appoint committees of residents of the vicinity, usually so selected as to include those who would best appreciate the s'hon- ur, ,fl and, feel at ttaehed to the society which conferred it. The people so selected came I to see the fair, and begrudged the time taken from sight seeing, hurrying with the business that thus interrupted pleas. ure seeking. They often act in judgment upon matters of which they know little, oi 1 specialties in farming to which they have given very little attention. But the great CT danger in the employment of locs judges is that such often personally know leach exhibEer, and often uno Nsclously arts kNsyei by policy MI A has pehap' Hort iexhibita and MEAH EkWehty, and il every case where they are competitors MT Bs. articles are the best. ''But, tn committee may argue, "we must avoit all appearance of partiality, so they do .I by being partial t-d dividing the premiums s and giving RomelwheFe they do not belong This is one possible example, many other will occur to the readers.
 At the outset the new way will no please sAH. with Fefiection it will pleas the more intelligent exhibitors. Unde the new plan, premium will mean some thing, and the exhibitor will prize it as a expression of one competent to say, as h has said, that his exibit is the best mad in it's class.

LAROR AND CAPITAL.

OF Tbs GENERAL GOVERNMENT
The relations of labor and capital and Of labor
ing men to their employers are of the utmost
concern to every patriotic citizen. When these
are strained and distorted unjustiiable claims
are apt TO be insisted upon by both interests,
and in the controversy which results the welfare
M all and the prosperity Of the country are
5eopardiZed. Any Intervention of the general
government within the limits of its c~Onstitu-
tional authority to avert sucha Cond tlon should
be willingly accorded. In a special message
transmitted TO congress at its last session, l
suggested the enlargement Of our present labor
bureau, aud adding to its present functions the
power Of arbitration in cases where differences
arise between employees and employers. When
these differences reach such a stage as to result
in the interruption Of between the
states the application OF this remedy by the gen.
eral government might be regarded as entirely
within its constitutional powers, and l think
we might reasonably hope that such arbitration,
IL carefully selected and il entitled TO the conf
denCe of the parties to be affected, would be
voluntarily called To the settlement of the
controversy Of less extent and not necessarily
within the domain Of federal regulation. /
am Of the opinion that this suggestion
is worthy the attention of the congress. But
after ali has been done by the passage Of laws,
federal or state, TO relieve the situation, much
more remains 70 be accomplished by the rein
statement and cultivation Of true American sem
etrnent which recognizes the equality Of Ameri-
car citizenship. This, in the light of our tradi-
lions and in loyalty 10 the spirits of our instiTu-
tioDs, would teach that a hearty cooperation on
The part Of all interested Is the surest path TO
national greatness and the happiness Of all our
people; that capital should, in recognizing the
brotherhood of our citizenship and In q spirit of
American fairness, generously accord to labor
IT'S just compensation and consideration, and
that contented labor is capitals best protection
and faithful ally. IL would teach, too, that the
diverse situations OF or people are insaperable
from our civilization; that every citizen should,
An his sE:iere, be a contributor to the general
good: that eapital does not necessarily tend 10
the oppression of labor. and that violent dis
eurbances and disorders ALLEVIATE from their pro-
motors true American sympathy and kindly
feeling.
