A MANSION ON WHEELS,
Something About the House Car of ths
 Future-A Suggestion.

Something About the House Car of the
 Future-A Suggestion.
 In this ago, when travelling may be said to be almost passion, and when so much has been done for the benefit of those who are fond of roaming, 1t is strange that no system of movable houses has yet been devised. The great improvements in parlor cars give hint of how this should be done Already our milionaires and railroad potentates have their private palaces fitted up with every convenience and luxury, in which they may live for weeks at a time, having their cars switched onto sidings at any place where they wish to remain. Two difficulties, however, have yet to be overcome before these cars can be regarded as satisfactory places for resi- dence.
 In the first place there is seldom any pro- vision made in them for the entertainment of friends on any large scale. Their owners having remained for some time in any city and enjoyed the hospitality of friends, are debarred by the parrowness of their quarters from returning the social kindness of which they have been made the recipients. It is necessary that the parlor car shall be devel- oped until it contains dining rooms, parlors, dining halls, and even ball rooms suited for the entertainment of large companies. This will probably necessitate the introduc-
 
 present commonly employed, unless some arrangements can be made for the use of trucks running upon the double tracks with which roads are already provided. This will naturally come in time, and the people will send out invitations for entertainments to be given in half a dozen cities, on as many diff ferent dates, with the comfortable feeling that at the specified time their own houses will be in the places named. It will be seen how much this will add to the variety of social life, and as it is directly in the line of the growing cosmopolitanism of the country the suggestion should appeal to popular intelli- gence.
 The second difficulty with the existing state of things is the fact that cars switched onto siding are almost sure to be in undesirable parts of the town, whither self respecting pleasure seekers might naturally find it awk- ward to resort. When once proper system of house cars has been adopted, the next step will be for the reservation of squares in the fashionable quarter of the town, laid with convenient tracks and switches, and hired out for longer or shorter periods to the pre- pfietors of travelling mansions As money has long since ceased to be an object to American millfonaires they will undoubtedly be willing to pay generously for such accom- modations, and the general result will be sat isfactory pecuniary returns to the holders of lots, convenience to the voyaging household CTS, and @ pleasant variety both to the ap- pearance and social life of fashionable neigh borhoods. All this is said, not so much in the way of suggestion as of prophecy; but, since it is well to accustom ourselves to DOS sible innovations, however startling, the idea is worthy of standardization Courier.

THE NEW HAVEN WATERLOO.

The city and town election in New Haven yesterday was Waterloo for the democra- cy, and is very likely to be another mile
 stone on the road to the ultimate extinc- tion of the great democratic majority in the Elm city. This is the avowed object which that Goliath of political treachery upon whom rests the responsibility for yes terday's disaster set out to accomplish when he hoofed it into New Haven eighteen years or more ago and started sheet that has been steadily and persistently worked to

New Jerseys Submerged Forests.

Geology can assign no date to the sub mergence of noble cedar forests that once covered southern New Jersey, and whose buried monarchs are of more value than all the other trees of that land of the musquito All that is known is that great logs in count less numbers lie under the mud and sand; that they are as sound as when first buried, and that it ''pays" to dig them up and con vert them into shingles. buckets, etc The amber that delights the hearts of thousands, the cowry gum of New Zealand that supplies the world with material for varnish, and the cedar mines of New Jersey, go to show that forests dead and gone may be cs greater value than trees of today. y.-Pittshurg Bulle- tin. -

THE RED BANDAUA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land? No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox x White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Call and examine stock.

A Word tor Oar Clerks.

Editor LIGHT:
The next three months are probably
the busiest OF the year to our trades
men, and many may be induced to
keep open their stores late until the
Christmas trade is over. This will
mean 8 o'clock closing again. Now
the small amount of business done
after : .. m. will not require more
than half the salespeople employed in
our stores. Would it not therefore be
an act of humanity to allow the other
half to leave at that hour, and thus
OBJ ,aiu little relaxation. One or two
of our principal stores have already
granted their consent in this way, CIV
ing the clerks at least two nights a
week to themselves. Might we not
recommend this to all our tradesmen?
Saturdays, of course, excepted. And
l venture to believe that other stores
could follow that example without in
convenience or loss 10 themselves, and
gain the good will of their employees.
Yours respectfully, VOX POPULI.
