The Republicans of the New Haven county
take special pride in the Hon. L. NJ. Hub
bard of Wallingford, the Republican nomi-
nee for Secretary of State, who is peculiarly
their representative on the State ticket.
Mr. Hubbard comes from good stock and
the strain has. mot detiorated in him. What
ever in life his hands have found to do he
has done faithfully and well. His record is
one of which he has right to feel proud
and which explains the confidence and es-
TEEN and love in which he is held by all who
are fortunate enough to share his ac
quaintance When Git is said of man by
political opponent that he is ''beloved and
respected by every man in his own town
whose good wishes are worth having" some
thing more than an ordinary compliment is
conveyed That he is SO beloved and re-
spected in Wallingford we know. That no
man living outside of New Haven has more
or warmer friends in this city we also know.
Let the voters of the county see to it that
Mr. Hubbard finds in the election returns of
next Tuesday night ample proof of his popu-
larity with them.

and manage for awhile somehow to keep out
of the morgue. Among the Americans the
most notable examples in this category are
the women. How they get here heaven
knows; but they do get here, ranging all the
way from the would be prima donna to the
humble aspirant for place as nursery gov
erness. Rarely does any one of them speak
French. Just as rarely have they any kind
OF professional experience or fitness. Most
of them are simple minded visionaries-
though many may not be described so chari-
tably-who, like M. Sardou's California hoy
den, were "bound to see Paris or bust"
Usually the adventures outright who comes
abroad on speculation, brings a stake with
her, and for season at least contrives to
keep up appearances. In the end, however
she Is bound to fail, because foreign hus-
bands with money are not to be had. There
are thousands, and tens of thousands, of no.
ble loafeTs and titled paupers who make it
the business of their lives to look up rich
American girls. But these gentry are very
wary. They are not to be caught, even if
they were worth catching, by anything short
of cash in hand without which indeed few
of them could procure a marriage outfit or
pay for wedding ring.
At this very moment happen to know of
two young countrywomen who are at dag
gers points about French duke, who is not
fit in morals, intellect or character to black
boots, and the ladies are not without GER
tain social position at home either. The
duke thinks they have fortunes of their own
which is mistake. AS soon as he finds this
out he will be off, and there is no danger of
his not finding it out, for in business of the
kind your impecunious Frenchman is as un-
erring as death.
In Europe abject poverty is the only spur
which can goad nobleman into marrying a
Yankee, and the Yankees are preferred sole
ly because as a rule they have more money,
or oil how, tha
natives, and then they are further away from
base, and in taking one of them for wife
the aristocratic swindler is not obliged to
dirty his felonious fingers by shaking hands
with the rest of the family. Money motives
apart, no titled gentleman would think of
marrying an American. When such a one
marries out of his own country-it is for the
reason that he cannot make an eligible match
at home. In every instance the poor Ameri-
can girl gets the scum of the nobility, and if
happily she escapes a brute in her husband,
she is pretty sure to find him a vagabond.

POLITICAL PROHIBITION.

Mr.. William NJ. Thayer's letter, to which
we referred yesterday, is full of .'food for
thought for those earnest but misguided
prohi hibitionists who seem to think that they
are helping the temperance cause by working
against the only political party that is friend
ly to that cause or has done anything for it.
Mr.. Thayer points out that the decisive
battle ground between the two great parties
of the country in 1884 was in the State of
New York. Several thousand prohibition
lists withdrew from the Republican party and
voted for St. John instead of Blaine thereby
defeating the latter and electing Cleveland.
The result was the same it would have been
if they had voted for Cleveland. If 200 of
the Republican prohibitionists who withdrew
from their party had remained in it to vote
for Blaine, the latter-a foe to the saloon
would have been elected, and Cleveland-the
friend and patron of the saloon-would have
been defeated. The Democratic party s'stood
up to be counted" for Cleveland, but alone
they did not count enough. With the help
of the third party the count was in their
favor. The third party men simply voted
for prohibitionist, but not for prohibition.
In the result they were counted against pro-
hibition.
The Republican party of Connecticut is
committed to the cause of temperance. In
the platform adopted at the last State con-
vention is the following: "The Republican
party is ready, as it always has been, for the
enactment of such laws, tending to eradicate
the evils of intemperance, as may be de-
manded by public sentiment" Why then
should it be attacked by those who call them
selves the special friends of temperance? Mr..
Thayer says he wants to "vote as he prays,"
and he continues: never pray that prohi-
bitionist may be defeated by an anti-prohi-
bitionist, nor that the Republican party,
which saved the country in its day of peril,
be destroyed, and the Democratic party,
which sought its humiliation, be enthroned
in power. My third party friend prays thus
if he prays as he votes. For he claims with
the leaders of his party that he must vote for
his own nominees, though the best Republi-
can prohibitionist be defeated thereby and
the staunchest supporters of the saloon be
e1ected

Poor Old Grandma.

In many home grandma is bright and
winning presence, but even where she is the
opposite-stiff, unsympathizing and queru-
lous-none the less should she be surrounded
by an atmosphere of loving observance, for
her failings are the eoncomitants of age and
impaired faculties. This attention should
not be the perfunctory performance of an
inculcated duty, but the outflow of kind
heart and generous nature. Sometimes a
certain outward respect is rendered before
strangers, but often the old lady is treated
by the juniors as a superfuous member of

EDHTORIAL NOTES.

The St. Louis Republican says that the
million and half added to the revenue of
Missouri by high licenses during the fiscal
year 1886 was money contributed in the
cause of temperance, as is shown by the
marked decrease in the number of saloons.
But the Republican can't make the impracti-
cable political prohibitionists think SO.
A large factory in Breslau required Chin
ney ftty-four feet in height. Instead of
constructing the chimney with bricks, as
usual, "a large number OF solid blocks of paper
firmly compressed were made use of. These
blocks were placed carefully one on top of
the other and joined together with special
cement. The chimney is non -inf1ammable,
is very elastic and is by the nature of the
material quite secure from lightning, which
so often plays such sad havoc with the more
ordinary sort of factory chimney.
P. T. Barnum has been a total abstainer
for thirty-eight years, has spent thousands
of dollars for the cause of temperance and
belongs to the Sons of Temperance, Coed
the attempt to enlist temperance voters in a
political party outside of and clashing with
national politics t'the most absurd and sui
cidal plan that could be conceived" He
says that every such olitico-temperance
vote helps the rumsellers and strengthens
the political party with which rumsellers and
too many deluded drinkers always vote. ''To
my knowledge" says Barnum, ''liquor sell
lers not only gloat and rejoice over the
threats of this new-fedged and new-fangied
party, but they pay money to aid it, as well
they might"

The following letter from the great Rus
sian novelist, Ivan Tourguenieff, on the
death of George Sand, has just been made
public:
had the happiness to possess the person
al friendship of George Sand. Please do
not take this to mean the usual mere form
of words. Whoever could be in the pres
ence of this rare being must count him
self happy. Within few days I have re-
ceived letter from a French lady who
also had known her well. In this letter
the following passage occurs: ''The last
words of our dear friend were: Laissez
verdure'-that is, place no stone upon my
grave, let the grass grow upon it, And
her wish will be carried out; on her grave
only wild flowers will grow. I find these
last words SO touching, SO worth thinking
of, SO in harmony with that life which had
long tended toward all that is simple and
good. Her love of nature, of
truth, her humility before them, her mex
always present. All! What a misfortune
her deathl A silent mystery has removed
forever one of the best beings who have
ever lived and we shall never again behold
that noble face; that golden heart beats no
more; all rests under the earth. The
mourning for her will be sincere, lasting,
but think people do not speak enough of
her kindliness. Rare as genius is, kindli-
ness is still rarer. But it can be learned
in part; not so genius; and for this reason
we must speak of her, cherish her and
point others to her. This active living
kindliness drew one toward George Sand
and bound to her those many friends who,
to the end of her life, were unchangingly
true and who We're found in every stratum
of society. At her funeral a peasant from
the neighborhood of Nohant, George Sands
chateau, approached the grave and laying
a wreath upon it, said: In the name of
the peasants of Nohant-not in the name
of the poor; thanks to her there are nc
poor here And yet George Sand herself
was not rich, and though she worked to
the end of her life, could live barely be-
yond the reach of poverty" have al
most nothing to add to these lines. I can
only vouch for their complete truthfulness.
When I made the acquaintance of George
Sand for the first time, about eight years
ago, the enthusiastic admiration had long
since vanished which she had once aroused
in me. 1 had already ceased to worship
her But it impossible to enter the
circle of her private life and not revere
her in another, perhaps better, sense. Ev-
eryone felt at once that he had come into
the presence of boundlessly generous and
benevolent nature, in which everything
egotistical had long since been utterly
burned out in the unquenchable fire of po-
etic enthusiasm, of belief in the ideal; to
which everything human had access, was
dear; which radiated sympathy, helpful
ness. And over all this certain uncon-
scious aureole, something high, free, hero
ic Believe me, George Sand is one
of our saints. You will understand the
sense in which I use the word.

Horses and Their Feet,

What makes your horse wear out in
one-third of his natural life? What
makes his feet full of corns? What
causes the naviculiar trouble? What
brings on bog SPAWN? Why do splints
come on horses legs? Why do horses
have string halt? What is the cause OF
a seedy toe that many horses have?
What makes them have thrush, canker
of the foot, laminitis and weak heels?
The shoe, Mr.. Editor, makes and causes
all the many troubles Ihave mentioned.
Still owners of horses insist on having
their horses shod the old way, with
heel and toe shoe; with corks big
enough for jackscrews. How to pre-
vent all the above trouble that our poor
horses have to suffer: DO not allow
the smith to use a knife on the foot OF
your horses at all, simply rasp the foot
off, just enough to get even bearing,
then apply tip, or thin, Hat shoe;
should you use the tip never rasp the
heel down at all; should you have your
horses feet shod with plain flat shoes,
keep the heels down low enough to get
frog pressure; three nails on each side
is enough to hold it in place on any
driving horse until the shoe is worn
out. Never allow the smith to rasp the
outside of the foot at all. If you will
follow these instructions you will save
many horse from going lame. The
roads are not too hard for any horse's
feet if you will give the feet any show
whatever. If you let the smith cut the
soul and frog to suit his will and pleas
ure, then fill it full of nails, rasp it of
until it is as thin as paper, you must
expect lame horses, and you will have
them. Only think of the horse in his
| natural state. He will travel over any
road day in and day out, bare foot;
still as soon as he is brought to the city
he is sent to the smith, then the trouble
commences. Any horse that is shod
with big, heavy shoe never should be
allowed togo out of a walk. A driving
horse for road pleasure has no more use
for calk than the writer has for thirteen
toes. Any man who tells you that a
foot which is strong and healthy re.
quires shoe to protect the frog and
heels tells you what is not so, and he
can prove it by showing results. On

Profits in Poultry Raising.

No other business connected with ag-
ricultural pursuits seems so attractive
as poultry farming. Even those who
fail in the business and retire from it,
aver that they are certain that they
could succeed in new trial. At the
start, the general idea is that the bust
ness consists of throwing out corn to a
flock of hens with one hand, and gath
ering eggs with the other. But while
this may be true in some cases, it is
very different in others. The expert
poultry raiser may perhaps meet with
no difficulty, and all may 60 on smooth
ly, but the novice is in trouble from the
first; the eggs are few and the chicks
die. One may easily keep ten or twelve
fowls with profit, who could not double
or treble this number successfully, be-
cause with large number all the diff
culties which arise, such as want OF
cleanliness, the presence of vermin, i'm.
pure air, and risk of infection, increase
in much larger ratio than does the
number in the flock. But if one has
succeeded with small flock there is nc
reason why he should not do so with
several Hocks, if each is kept in just tn,
same manner as the original one. AT
!. forwards the focks maybe enlarged
but as this is the very point on which
young poultry raisers fail, the creates
caution should be observed in adding t.
the number of fowls kept in each cool
or house, or yard.

Forever Young.

The wild world hastens on its way;
The gray-haired century nears its close,
Its sorrow decpens day by day;
The summer blush forsakes the rose.
But, darling, while your voice hear,
And while your dark-brown eyes see,
Sad months and sunless seasons drear
Are all the same, all glad to me.
Despair can never reach Inc
While your soft hand hold;
While your eyes love and teach me
never shall grow old!
They say that love forsakes the old;
That passion pales and fades away;
That even loves bright locks of gold
Must lose their charm and change to gray
But, darling, while your heart is mine,
And while feel that you are true,
For me the skies will ever shine
With summer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old age deride mel
scorn his hooking tongue.
Dear love, with you beside me,
am forever young!
-Belgrdyia.

Pearls Of Thoughts.

Walk as if you were conscious that
your body has soul in it.
If life will bear examination in
every hour, it is pure indeed.
If anyone says i'll of you, let your
life be so that none will believe him.
He who strives after long and
pleasant form of life, must seek to
attain continued equanimity.
A celebrated writer says: ave
never see tear in the eye but we are
reminded of warm heart"
Whatever else we neglect let us keep
up the habit of communion with God.
Prayer is the key of the position.
If a man emptics his purse into
his head, no man can take it
away from him. An investment in
knowledge always pays the best in
terest.
Let every man take care how he
speaks and writes OF honest people,
and not set down at a venture the first
thing that comes uppermost.-BaHi.

How to Repair n Grindstonc.

Usually grindstone is worn out of
level. and very irregularly. This is
scarcely to be avoided when such a
large variety of tools, such as scythes,
mower sections, axes, hoes and many
other tools are ground. After ordinary
use by those who are not careful to pre-
serve the stone true, with smooth, and
eighty rounded face, it becomes be-
yond the poser of the owner to repair
he damage, unless he is an expert me-
charnc, when he takes a piece of old
stove-plate, and grinds the stone down
to a slightly rounded or beveed face.
The best way to repair grindstone is,
to take spade or a shovel, and turn
ing it back upwards, to grind it sharp,
against the turning of the stone. This
will bring the stone into the right shape,
and in sharpening the spade, do q use
full job at the same time.
