ORE HILE.

On Wednesday the union picnic of Lakeville and Ore Hill Sunday schools was held at Twin Lakes. Although the joy of the occasion was marred by occa- sional light rains during the forenoon. and many no doubt remained at home on account of the prospect, still about 15O, largely children, were on hand. After dinner, which was all that could be desired, the ground dried off and soon all were free to enjoy them selves according to their mind. Boat ing was prominent feature of the Oc- casion, and the lakes were as smooth as glass. Supt Sanford arranged to save his basket for the home trip but Mary from New Jersey, saw it and thinking there was something good in it gets Charles, young college student from New York city, to take it off the train. Charles may be related to the corrupt aldermen of New York. He got his re- ward as also did Mary. The Lakeville band did much to enliven the occasion especially while things were looking blue Benjamin is born Yankee; he succeeds every time, at least in band making. He is 8 public spirited man but he gets no fat offers from his party because he is incorruptable.

He has had vacation since, and says he will go to Hartford before he trys 1t again.

As you face the east, at your right looms up the grand old Canaan mountain stretch ing away beyond Norfolk, while in the valley at its feet flows the Blackberry river, on either side of which appear farm houses, surrounded by fertile fields lnterspersed with groves and orchards, while the Barnum Richardson con- pany's furnaces are plainly seen up the valley. In front of you Haystack noun tain and tower with the road winding Up to it are distinctly seen, and little at the left College hill and Rattlesnake hill with the lime kilns and dwelling houses in the foreground greet your eye while the H. X c. W. railroad winds up the valley. At your left and but a quarter of mile away lies the beautiful village of Canaan while in the back ground appears Brush hill and Cole hill. At the extreme left lies the Tagh- kanic range, the dividing line between New York state and Connecticut and Massachusetts. This lofty range can be distinctly seen almost to Pittsfeld. Mount Everett, towering peak of this range, seems but short distance away. while Monument mountain looms up in the distance, the intervening space be. ing occupied by lovely variety ol woods, fields, rivers, villages and dwell. ings.

American MilIIonaire.' Home.

To EaEishmen it is matter of aston

seem to appreciate the pleasures of a
country life. With the exception of a

no large residences which rise above the
rank of villas This is the more extraor-
diary, as the number of Americans possess
ing an ANNUAL income OF over e2O, 900 is
very large, and would probably be found
to surpass those that England could pro
duce. 1t is matter alsc of notoriety
that she possesses miIlionaires whose in
comes double and treble those of the plu-
tocracy of Great Britain.
These same men are content TO spend
thousands in erecting residences at New

Ine GCOfIEs OF CREMoRNE.
A Place Where Gold Was Thrown Away
on Derby Night-Thames Tunnel.


Then, just across the river, you have
Woolwich gardens-a sort of modified
Cremorne. "Cremornei" hear some one
eXclaim, with a sort of wasn't thata
dreadful kind of a place air stealing
athwart his shocked features. That
depended exactly upon how you took it.
Of a Sunday afternoon no more innocent
place for -uuiing" even a deacon could
have found. A beautiful garden, with
fantastic grottoes miniature lakes, cool
ing fountains and rustic arbors, where
you could regale yourself on unlimited
supplies of wafer bread and butter, peri
wrinkles and shrimps-a cockney English
mans delight-with tea or lemonade il
you preferred it. OF course, like the world
over, something stronger was to be OBJ
tanned il required, but non-intoxicating
drinks were the beverages mostly par
taken of at CremOrne on Sabbath after
noon. The different shows of course,
were all osed, not even a hand organ
being allowed to disturb the days sane
tity.
Good, respectable people were to be met
there on Sundays. On such occasions,
however. the upper-tendom were wont to
i more Cremorne. But gone are the glo-
ries Of Cremorne, where gold was reck-
lessly squandered amid the glitter of its
destinations Derby night All! what a
night that used to be for the garlens.
Half crown admission and-packed.
Winners of the Derty hee,ilessly fiinging

of jewell le lights Illuminating the scene
and flashing their rainbO~ hues upon the
simmer of silk and satin, costly dia-
mouds and sparkling eyes; champaign
corks popping; walters hurrying to and
fro; a swirl of dancers to the bands rhyth-
mic measure; the boom, boom of a large
bass drum, and the angry snorts of the
elephants as they parade through the
grounds preparatory to their perform
ance. Rustic bridges spanning miniature
cascades led away from the kaleidoscope
like revelry TO some mOonlit bit Of fairy
scenery that was delightful in its refresh
ing beauty, and only when the music's
strains were waited by some
passing zephyr toward you did you real
iZe the nearness OF CremOrne's flash and
glitter.
l have noticed that the people away
from home invariably go 20 the places
that the mere mention of in their native
town would cause their respectable hairs
to stand on end. Now there is the Thames

bility, yet cannot say that | ever en-

suggestiveness Of rheumatism about its
shiny walls, down which the water trick

In an English magazine an attempt
Is made to give series OF
Americanisms: that is to say,
words coined or invented in America.
Under the word Bonanza the definition is
given-"Spanish, big scheme by which
honestly or otherwise, much money is
made" Upon this a critic pounces and
says that bonanza means good fortune
or good luck" BonanZl Is in, iced Span
ish word, and very naturally came into
use in California or Nevada But it does
not mean "a big scheme" or good luck !"
1t is nautical-s seagoing-word, and
means fair weather at sea IL the reader
will refer to St. Matthew, viii d, he will
read that, after the Lord rebuked the
wind and the sea, there was a great
calm" And if reference is next had tc
the Spanish version of the New Testa-
ment he will find the phrase there given,
una grande bonanza" 1t is easy to un.
derstand how the word crime into its figur.
at,ve use-as meaning a happy, calm, and
good hope after a wear, search.-Phila

The rules governing umpire' forbid a

into hot water, an he might as well give
up, for every time he makes decision
there will be yell for him to

about umpires is that they will
umpire a game one day and give general
satisfaction, and on the next day they
will umpire game between the same
clubs, and before almost the same crowd,
so badly that the crowd will be ready to
