1t will be observed hv reference TO the
notice of The school board Published ia another
column that the meeting Of the white te~chers
association is called for Monday, May 3cd, in
ste al of April 26th, which would have been
the regular day for the meeting. This, the E1-
,miner informs us, is due to the fact that April
10Th falls on Easter Monday, which is legal
&C. oil holiday The board, being unwilling te
infringe upon the privileges the law has given
onr ever worked teachers BY requiring any
professional aaties on that day, has hIed upon
he following Monday for the meeting OF the
association.
In This connection it may be said ihst much
flor: is being made by the school authorities
in this, as in other counties, to stir up more
interest among the teachers in the ieschsrs' as

been attained in other counties toward inproV-

The aroma of herbs is quite as potent to
call up old memories as the perfume of
flowers. There is the lavender bed. If the
seed was sown in the hot bed, the seedlings
carefully transplanted and watered, it is a
thrifty patch of lovely green-a sort OF
fairy patch; for in wedding the odor of the
delicate blossoms brings up vision of the
past brings back vividly the remembrance
of those happy days of childhood when the
promise Of visit to the old homestead IN
vacation was the incentive to good behavior
and scholarship during the summer term.
It brings back the guest chambers OF the
homestead, with their gay carpets ana
stenciled walls, and great tester bedsteads,
and the chests whence came the lavender
scented linen sheets that were spread over
the downy beds. Ahl what beds those were!
And in them what repose for the weary!
There was a cherry bureau grown dark
with age in one of those chambers; 1t had a
carved back and claw feet, and polished
surface upon which were reflected weirdly the
pay flowers of the window and bed curtains
and the figures of those passing 1T; and there
was one drawer s,;cred to the past.

.sHERE We ARE AGA1N."

Mr.. R. J. Vance, of New Britain, has, with
the able assistance of the Hartford Times, &C
complished a rather remarkable political
feat. Not long ago he was nominated by the
Democratic congressional convention of the
First district, and one of the planks of the
platform adopted by the convention was as
follows: ''That taxes should not be imposed
upon the people for any other purpose than
the support of the government, and that the
interests of capital and labor alike, in the
State of Connecticut demand it" This ap-
peared to be satisfactory Democratic doctrine
in the First district for awhile, but finally
Mr.. Vance came out with letter saying that
he could not stand upon the platform adopt
ed, and declaring that the tariff should be SO
adjusted as to protect our industries and
labor. The Hartford Times said SO too, and
suggested that Mr.. Vance be reuominated on
a aditferentssplatform. Y esterday this was done,
but not ''amid much enthusiasm" The
following resolution was adopted: We ap-
prove of the platform adopted by the Demo
cratic national convention of 1884, including
those sections which require just revision
of the revenue laws, in the adjustment of
WHICH the 1nQuStTlal luC0T0stS OF Jn0 country
shall be guarded and labor protected against
the cheaper prices of labor in Europe. We
favor the prohibition of the Importation of
pauper labor from foreign countries under
contract.
Night before last the ingenious Hartford
Times prepared the way for this Ehop" as
follows In the First district convention OF
October 7, the tariff plank adopted was not
fairly discussed, nor intelligently explained.
We have heard quite number of the dele
gates EXPRESS themselves uponthe point. and
they say they had no idea, nor do they be
lieve that the convention had an idea of plac
ing the Democracy of the First congressiona
district liz antagonism with the platforms Of
their party which were adopted at Chicago
and New Haven. Nor did they intend to de
clare that in the adjustment of the tariff
Congress shall disregard the interests of labor
and our industries. They believe that Con
| gress should discriminate in levying tariff
duties in favor of our industries.
| At the convention yesterday there was dis
| cussion enough, and some of it was not of I
| very pleasant character. The whole perform
| ance was a notable one, and sheds some ligh
| on the conundrum, What is Democracy il
| Connecticut?

A Terrible Case Of Scrofu1a
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around nay neck and throat,
continually exuding offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less I do not know what it may
have done for others, but do know that il
