LAUNCHED AND AFLOAT.


 Amiens, where the distinguished prize fighters are dallying, is divided into eleven canals. We wonder into which one Sulli- van will knock Mitchell.
 The first letter of the last name of the next governor of Connecticut can be found away up in the early end of the alphabet; you bet. Close under the roof.-War Memories.
 MT Ingalls, was feeling better yesterday. There was still much gangrene visible in in the mucous discharges, but the doctors do not think now that they will have to re sort to tracheotomy.-Washin Post.
 A senator who in advocating a bill says ''let the president of the United States veto it at his peril" talks to much in the vein of Guiteau. There was more than the bloody shirt in Ingalls, harangue. There was the dagge, of the cowardly assassin.-New Haven Union.
 A Harvard hug has commercial value. A student of that university threw his arms about the waists of two girls, whom he passed on the street, and began to squeeze them. He was fined $50 and costs by the court the next morning. What has Yale to say to thiss
 The spectacle of a girl going down the aisle of theatre during the performance O shocked the mental equipose of Bridgeport, the other night that not one of the papers in that city remembered to say anything about the new public building or P. T. Barnum the next day.-Ansonia Sentinel. It is said that before Senator Ingalls, makes 8 speech of the red-hot variety, he reads a hundred lines or so of Homer, drinks quart of blood, eats two ounces of gunpowder, and then works for twenty minutes trying to put large collar button into small buttonhole After that he puts on shirt starched from stem to stern, and then he is ready to eat brigadier, spurs and all. This secret was given away by his wally.
 When Henry George was printer in Philadelphia, he had an intimate friend who was noted in the craft for his wide range of information, and the ability with which he grappled with intricate questions of political economy. Everybody believed that he was destined to become prominent in public affairs. After MT George left Philadelphia, his friend suddenly took to drink, and on the day that George received the extraordinary vote for mayor of New York, his friend died in wretched poverty of delirium tremens.
 One of New York's numerous dens where women who ''get into trouble" go and where the babies are treated ill a way | that practically means murder, has been broken up by two peculiarly atrocious cases coming to light, as to treatment of both mother and child-the mother, in one case at least, a we'll bred girl It is against the New York way of dealing with such wretches, that the proprietor of the den, g German woman known as Mrs Emily Fratsher Winkelmann, has been al lowed to flee from the scene of her nefari ous operations.

ANYTHING to delay the bill, " is the secret motto that seems to have been adopted by the republican members of the ways and dealings with the now perfected bill to re duce the war tariff, under which the in, dustries of the country are staggering. The whole committee has held two meet ings this week, at both of which the re publican members plainly showed that they intended to delay the report of the bill to the house as long as possible. It is we'll for the country to know who is re- sponsible for this delay

JOHN SHERMAN is trying very hard to straighten out his very crooked record as a public man. He tried to make it appear that his Nashville speech and his Spring field, Illinois, speech were consistent, but failed most signally, On Tuesday, he tried to answer the charge of Senator Beck, made recently, that he was guilty of having secretly connived at the demonstration of silver Again he made failure No use, John, you cannot make water run up hill, nor can record with as many twists in it as yours has ever be strengthened. John Sherman thinks he is to be nomi- mated for president this year, and every democrat joins him in hoping that he may be, for no easier man to beat could possibly be put up by the republicans.
 
 THE World to-day publishes long story, plausible on it's face, but which neverthe- less should be taken with little salt, go- ing to show that "Kid" McManus, recently sentenced for four years for complicity in the Bridgeport jewelry robbery, was inno- cent McManus comes of highly respect able New York family. A few years ago he fell in with the tough ''East Side" gang and for some petty crime was sentenced to few months on the Island When he was released he settled down to better life and shook clear of his old companions in crime. Everything went we'll until George FeXth. an old pal, found him out and by blackmail tried to secure from from cManus S1O0. Failing to get the money he swore a terrible revenge. A few weeks later the Bridgeport robbery occurred Feyth was arrested for the crime. Here was his chance to get even, and he deliberately told Pinkerton's men that sKid" McManus was his accomplice. Tie rest of the story | IS we'll known McManus was brought te Bridgeport for hearing and released under bonds of $1O,000 On "Wednesday he went to Bridgeport, pleaded guilty ane was sentenced to four years at Wethers | field. The World claims that McManu pleaded guilty on advice of his counsel
 His record not being of the best, and thu
 web of circumstantial evidence being close ly woven about him, conviction was al
 most certain, and by pleading guilty h.
 received light sentence.

TURF NOTES.

Capt. Sam Brown has shipped his famous horse, Masterpiece, to New Orleans, where he will be trained for jumper.
 Bootjack, the famous son of Bonnie Scot land, who won thousands of dollars for his admirers, is being used as saddle horse in Lexington,
 J. B. Haggin, the big California turfman, has now engaged four jockeys for 1858: Gar rison, Hamilton, Winchell and young San Francisco athlete named McCourt, who promises to develop into great rider.
 Barnum, the son of Bonnie Scotland, has probably run more races than any other thoroughbred horse that ever lived. Since 1882 he has run Q total of 210 races, and his considerate owner intends to campaign him again in 1888.
 There is a strong probability that meet ing of the turf congress will be called at on early date at which the clash of dates be- tween St. Louis and Latonia will be adjusted It is affirmed that the Kentucky fixtures will be moved back to their original date and that the St. Louis spring meeting will begin June , instead of May 26.
 Prominent among the horses eligible for a 2:17 class, and which are likely to be seen on the Grand Central Trotting circuit tracks, are: Arab, a1615; Oliver R., 2:l6A; Phil Thompson, 2:lD><; J.

MAYOR HEwrTT's refusal to review the parade of the New York Irish societies on St Patrick's day may not lose him the Irish vote, for if the Sun is to be believed there is no Irish vote, no German vote, nor Italian vote in New York. The party vote, it says, is thing of the past, and only en- tertained by a~few purposeless fatheads. But to claim that his action will not lose Mayor Hewitt large number of votes when he needs them the most is ridicu- lous. The committee who waited upon the mayor were only following precedent, and had he complied he would only have followed the example of his predecessors. But he saw fit to decline-in not very civil manner either-which gives rise to the old charge that his indigestion is getting the better of his brains.

 The death of the aged Emperor William will cause great changes throughout Eu- rope, and the whole civilized world will await with intense anxiety the war or peace policy of his successor. The Grown Prince on being notified of his fathers death, left San Reno, Italy, where he has been staying, for Berlin. He has already been, proclaimed emperor, and although suffering from disease that is slowly eat ing away his life, will bravely assume the duties and responsibilities that attach to the office of emperor. The new emperor is exceedingly popular among his subjects and in his hands the reins of government srs safe. But as it is not probable that he will live over . year at the most, his eldest son, Prince William, really has the fate of the empire in his hands, and this fact canses the alarm. The young Prince Will liam is . radical and high spirited man. and not entirely in sympathy with the lib eral views of his father. !. Still he will re- tain Rismaack ss has advissf and aA asy go well.

THE time is ripe for organizing demo- cratic club in Waterbury. And when we say democratic we use the word in it's broadest and truest meaning. A club that will be credit to the party, that will edu- cate the people in the democratic doctrine, whose object primarily is to elevate the masses and promote unity in the ranks, will not lack for support. But an organiz- ation formed to blow the horn of few petty politicians, or to air the internal dis sensions of dissatisfied branch of the party, will die of hamilton. The DEMO GRAF sounds this note of warning in time. In this progressive age politicians, demo cratic as we'll as republican, are prone to look out for number one, and too often their ambition gets the better of their good judgment. Let the leaders organize q club, and invite the people in, and the DEMOCRAT is with them.
