The New York Herald has been doing some funny work in connection with the presidents wedding. In its description of that event it published list of presents re. ceived by the bride, with the names of the donors, and got credit for furnishing inc formation that other papers did not ob- tain, besides outwitting the president
 who has determined that the public should not know what gifts his bride received. An examination of the report of Nellie Grants wedding, as published in the Herald at the time, shows that the list of presents she received was duplicated for Mrs. Cleveland; that the officers of the New York custom-house presented Co her exactly what the officers of the New York custom-house presented Nellie Grant in 1873. It is coincidence that excites con- siderable mirth at the white house aud elsewhere among those who know the facts
 This stroke of bogus enterprise on the part of the Herald was surpassed in it's re- port of the wedding reception. Four col. umns were devoted to list of the ladies who were present and the toilets they wore An examination of this list shows that about half the ladies whose names are given are out of the city. Some of them are in Europe; others are at their houses in the east and west, and more did not at tend the reception, although they are still in the city. The reports of social gather ings during the winter were hunted up in the files, and the toilets worn by ladies on those occasions were copied and published at random but probably the readers of the Herald enjoyed it all the same.
 The Connecticut anti -oleomargarinel law, as shaped by ex-Speaker Simonds and finally enacted, has been widely pronounc- ed by some of the best judges in this and other states states, superior to any statute within their knowledge elsewhere. It ia not a mere copy from those of other states, but a very carefully thought out and pre- pared scheme, much more perfect, we be- lieve, than the first draft submitted to the committee. It's success has been hamper ed, as that of any such dgricttltttrdt leRia- lation is apt to be, by lack of sufficient ap- propriation for it's enforcement, or rather, let us say, that the provisions are such that the commissioner is in doubt az to how far bills of expenses would be ap- proved. We think there should have been no room for doubt here, that the legisla- ture would, if asked, have voted all the money necessary, but the agricultural committee was as conservative as it was able, in this respect, and presumably the draft adopted was made according to their ideas. What faults are shown to exist should be promptly remedied next winter

 Willimantic Chronicle Two street vendors were in opposition on Railroad atreet on Monday evening, and it was diff ficult to decide which made the most noise. One of them who was selling a microscope for fifteen cents gave the fol- lowing scientific description and explana- tion of the origin of trichina stTr1ckner is something like worm, with white body and black head which is very poi sonous. It is caused by hogs eating rats. When hog eats a rat, the trickner gets into the pork, and if you inhale them you are liable to die in five minutes" Thus does science dive to the farthest corner Of the longest rat hole, and to the bottom of the biggest pork barrel, dragging to the light truths which have been utisuspected since the foundation of the world S'''Al
