Waterbury has the boss absent-minde,

Waterbury has the boss absent minded man. Not long ago he moved from 8 house mile north of the center to anoth- CT in the southern part of the town. Busi- ness called him to the center one evening shortly after moving, and he drove to town, hitching his horse under con- venient shed. Late in the evening, when he got ready to go home, he forgot his horse and walked all the way to his new residence. After going to bed it occurred to him that his steed had been left behind Thereupon he arose and dressed and walk ed back to town. Safe in his carriage he started, as he supposed, to go home, but unmindful of his course the horse took him back to his former home, three miles away. Being an exemplary citizen he was glad to get home along towards morning without being molested by the police for belng out at an unseemly hour.

Greenwich Graphic: The plum trees are once more giving evidence of life and old time vigor. Connecticut plums have been quite plentiful this year. The old trees that have been unfruitful for many years, and seemed to be just barely alive, have suddenly produced . good yield, The Connecticut plum of years ago was 8 plum :: like the old Connecticut peach, it was large md luscious. The old plum trees that have remained barren for the past ten years are fruiting this season, and the delicious yellow and purple plums of long ago are again in our markets. The little brown beetle, curculio, that has played the mischief with the trees and de- prived us of the fruit, has seemingly dis appeared. One who has made Q study of the disease says that the black knots should be cut off and burned, and the trees will become healthy. Long life and health to our plum tree.

A Healthy Growth.

TNHE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
Il the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso-
citation is marvellous in the annals of life
insurance enterprise. Its name has be-
come tower of strength, and has been
well earned by the untirins devotion of
President Harper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks
which are best repelled by frank and full
exhibit Of its greatly increasing line of
business. Up to July /, 1885, this shows a
gain of no less than S13 214, $50 over that
of the corresponding period last year.
In June alone its mortuary receipts cX-
ceeded $3.50, 1000, of which over $50, ,OOOwent
into the Reserve Fund-that triple buttress
upon which the association justly prides
itself. This reserve now amounts to $685.
600, and is employed for three purposes
only-to pay death claims, If any should
occur in excess of the American Eppericnce
Mortality Tables; to make good any pOss
ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account,
and to be appOrti0ncd among those who
have been members of the Association fif-
teen years, etc. AS the first and second
contingencies named are not likely toarise,
the third object is the one upon which the
fund is practically expended. It is full of
other good points, among which may be
mentioned tile economical salary list--less
than $50, 900 for carrying on the whole work
of the vast institution-and payments to
widews and orphans at the rate of over
s., 900 cash cash day.-From the old and
conservative New York Daily Journal of
Commerce, July 10. 1885,.
With the Annual Report of the above
Company is attached large number of
Death claims paid from February 1882 to
February 1st 1886, representing all parts of
the Union, amounting to 81, $50, ,2G0. .0c from,

A Strong Hint.

A Western exchange tell its readers
how to mind their P's" in the follow
ing paragraph !: persons who patronize
papers should pay promptly for the pc
cuniary prospects of the press have pc
culiar power in pushing for public pros
perity. If the printer is paid promptly,
and his pocket book kept plethOric by
prompt paying patrons he puts his pen to
his paper in peace; his paragraphs are
more pointed; he paints his pictures of
passing events in more pleasing colOrs
and the perusal OF his paper is apleasure
to the people. Paste this piece Of pro-
verbal philosophy in some place where
all persons can perceive 1t.

How Negro Suffrage Came.

Mr.. Blaine does not combine SUCCESS
fully his two avocItiOnS of historian aud
stump speaker. Iu his speech at Phila-
delphia he prOfessed to give the true his :
tory Of the enfranchi sement of the free
dom. lie represented that the Republic
can leaders practically said to tie 5 'uth-
ern people.
You have very large number Of men
without education suddenly made free
They need education, they need expe-
rience, they need training; and we will
readmit You into the Union and leave
that question for you to solve your
self.
This is what the Republicans should
have said. What they did say, and re-
Quired the Southern States accept is re-
corded In the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution.
The rights of the citizens Of the Uni
ted States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any
state on account Of race, color or previous
condition of servitude.
This amendment was driven through
Congress and forced through sufficient
number Of State Legislatures by the Re
publican leaders upon the principle and
belief expressed with brutal frankness by
Thad. Stevens in the formula. So many
negroes so many Republican votes.
They enfranchised the whole mass of
ignorance for the purpose of perpetratiDg
Republican rule at the South and in the
nation by means of the negro vote. For
awhile they were successful; but the ne
gro and carpet bag governments set up
by this means were so incompetent and
cOrrupt-such grOtesQue and terrible ira
yesties Of the Democratic system-that
not even the bayonet prop could sustain
them. They fell of their own rOttenness
never to rise again.-New York World.
