 The fruit growers and cider makers of the state will meet at the United States hotel in Hartford March 21, to form a state cider and cider vinegar makers asso- ciation
 The executive board of the Connecticut state agricultural society met in room 50, in the capitol at Hartford Thursday The date of holding the state was changed from the four days beginning September IS to the week beginning September H. The change was made because the former date interfered with the Watertown date The change will bring the state fair in conflict with the Derby fair. It was voted to | make three new classes of thoroughbred horses: Thoroughbred stallions, thorough bred mares, and thoroughbred geldings and flies. After general discussion it was voted to charge admission for teams to the park, single teams to be charged 25 cents and double teams 50 cents.

A Judge's Sensible Words.

Judge Tuley occupies a position which enables him, almost compels him, to collect statistics as to the causes of divorce. In a recent interview he said:
 'sI would not add to nor take away any of the causes of divorce now given by the statute. If it were practicable, I would pro- hibit by law any newly married couple living with the parents of either within the first five years. When left by themselves, their characters sooner assimilate and they much sooner learn that in order to be happy there must be continual and mutual self sacrifices and dependence of each upon the other."
 There is condensed in the last sentence the result ot much experience by close thinker. A vast amount of unhappiness might have been avoided if every newly married couple, and the parents of each, could have been made to know this before it was too late.- Chicago Times

last year paid duties amounting to S22, OO0, ,OOO, that is all we can reckon on. By lowering the duties on certain other arti- cles MT Mills estimates further reduction of about $50, 900, 900. This estimate, the Sun claims, is purely empirical and wholly untrustworthy. Lowering the duties on certain articles may stimulate their impor- tation to such an extent that instead of re- ducing the surplus it might possibly be in creased. There is logic in the Suns argu- ment so far as the reduction of the surplus is concerned, but even should the reduc- tion not reach the figures MT Mills hopes there will be great advantage gained. It will be step in the right direction. No one hopes to accomplish tariff reform in day, and any movement to reduce the tax ation on the necessaries of life is point gained.

Feet of Antique Statues.

Did you ever notice what beautiful feet the Venus de Milo has, how well formed and yet how large they are? All antique statues have large feet, and by what alteration of taste we have been brought to admire these little sausages of compressed heel and crimped toes that modern women introduce into shoes and slippers several sizes too small for them is more than can tell To make themselves still more ridiculous they are perched upon tall heels, and when they walk they have the graceful strut of an ostrich. Philips, in his ''As in Looking Glass" calls 1t peacocklng And while have the floor permit me to ask if any one in Louisiana ever saw statue of Venus, Juno or Diana with wasp-like waist, skeleton arms, and prominent addi- tion to the human form divine at the lower end of the backbone. I do wish it were pos sible for our women to go back to the simple manners of the early Greeks and the Spar tans.-Henry Hay1lie, in New Orleans Picay-

Enjoyable "Little Dinners"

The sincerest form of hospitality, and by far the most enjoyable left to us, is ''little dinners" Snowy banquets and display feeds may possess some interest as spectacles, and various forms of glorifcation, private and public, individual collective, but the real soul of good fellowship is gathering of six to dozen persons-intelligent, congenial- round the table of discriminating, expert enced host or hostess tor both) who invite their friends, not to show the extent of their wealth and the luxury of their plate-though there is no objection to the use of the beauti- full things, if one possesses then-but whose first thought is comfort and a little season of unclouded and, therefore, rational enjoy ment, on such a basis as can be repeated and made part, indeed, of the daily ife-its milestones and happy occasions.-Jenny June.

WHAT are the Cheerful Republican prospects for 1888" spoken of by MT Blaine in his Florence letter We have been looking over the field and fail to see any of the "prospects." Figures speak for themselves, and MT Blaine when he ran away from prospects" could not have received an advance copy of the political almanac for 1888. Three states, Callfor- mia, Oregon and Rhode Island gave Re- publican pluralities in 1884 and since gave Democratic gains. Virginia increased it's Democratic plurality from 6, Al in 1884 to 16,O34 in 1885. Other states have shown decided Democratic gains. Three years of President Cleveland's administration finds the Democratic party nearly 400, ,000 votes stronger than it was in 1884.

Tales Told by Servants.

Three-quarters of the intimate domestic scandals of society probably get af1oat through the interchange of confidences It is told of young married woman, that she complained to her mother that she was not pleased with her maid.
 ''She seems to be handy girl, dear," said mamma, land to understand her work"
 "Yes, but she will talk to the other ser wants wherever she goes'
 "Well, my dear," observed mamma, pla- cidly, ''they talk to her, suppose"
 ''What of thats'
 "Why, get her to tell you what they tell her, and let her tell them whatever she pleases."
 From such philosophy as this, there is, of courso no appeal.-Alfred Tumble in The Argonaut

THE secretary of the treasury has just received information of an organized move ment to unload German convicts upon the United States. Steps were promptly taken to head off the scheme, and the secretary was none too soon. Two foreign convicts, who recently landed, have been held in New York and will be sent back by the steamer that brought them here. Infor nation has been received that others o1 the same stripe are on their way to Amer ica. They will not be allowed to land Convict emigration to America will not be tolerated.

Kissing Little Women.

Little women, as general thing, have the better of it as far as kissing man is con- cerned, because they have to reach up; that generally necessitates putting hand on each shoulder, and the human representative of a Newfoundland dog is charmed to his soul be- cause he thinks the little woman likes him so much. The woman who has to reach up to a man can always control him. Her size acquits her of her folly, and he is certain to regard her dear little thing, and never see her MachiaveIlian schemes for ruling him. If had daughters I should put heavy weights on their heads in early childhood to keep them from growing very tall, because to the small comes the victory.-"Bab" in New York Star.

A BoBTAIL car running amuck is some thing that should be provided against. Fortunately the car that tobogganed down the North Main street incline last evening kept to the track and met no obstruction, or we might have had serious accident to report. The trouble seemed to be with the brakes which were unable to control the momentum of the car, the incline be- ing steep and the rails slippery. The cal was we'll filled, most of the passengers be- ing of the fair sex, not one of whom lost her presence of mind or appeared at all scared.

THE Sun doesn't take much stock in the Mills tariff bill. In fact it does not regard the bill as a measure for tariff reform, in the sense that it's main purpose is to cor rect the inequalities and inconsistencies and injustices about which we have heard 50 much during few years past. If passed, the Sun thinks there will be a thousand times more complaint than ever before. As means of disposing of the surplus it is also regarded as failure, for while it places on the free list articles which

But the rule does not hold good for Cleveland, who was bachelor four years ago, and who may be reelected on the old platform Having married in office he is likely to be free of the ''omen."

All the earth is wrapped in shadows, And the dews have drenched the meadowS And the moon has ta'en her station, And the midnight rules creation. Where is my beloved staying? In her chamber kneehng praying. Is she praying for her lover? Then her heart is flowing over. My beloved! Is she keeping Watch, or is she sweetly sleepingf If she sleep not, if she pray not, If to listening ears she says naught- Thought with thought in silence linking Oh, know of whom she's thinking Think, oh, think of me, sweet angel, Rose of life, and loves evangel! All the thoughts that melt or move thee Are like stars that shine above thee; And while shining, to the center Of thy spirits spirit enter,
 And there light a flame supernal-- Like eternal love. eternal.
