Thomas Booth of the Mahogany Palace and five other friends went on fishing ex- cursion to pond in the wilds of North Branford yesterday morning. Two teams were procured and the jolly party started with visions of load of piekerel. In one team the eatables and drinkables were stored away while in the other were the fishing tackle, axes and bait. After reaching North Branford they searched for their pond, but the pond was nowhere to be found. They finally separated from each other and got lost in the wilds. Late in the afternoon the team that had the eatables gave up the search for the pond and stopped in barn and eat and drank everything up. The other party went without anything to eat or drink and nearly famished with hunger they started for home. While on the way they met the other party. Finally they reached home about dark with out having found the pond.

A Free Lecture to Women and Girls only by Miss Kate C. Bushnell. Among the many good deeds of the Chris tian women of various denominations who are members of the Women's Christian Tem- perance union in this city, may be counted an effort on behalf of social purity, and sub- sequent happy and Christian homes.
 Under their auspices an accomplished lady, who has labored several years as missionary in China, will soon give 8 free lecture to women and girls only in some central chapel, and all Christian women in the city are urged to keep her coming before the minds of the young girls who need instruction and en- couragement as they stand ca the threshold of life, that they may not miss 50 good an opportunity as that of listening to Dr. Kate 0. Bushnell, national evangelist of social purity, W. O. T. U., and an active laborer in the White Cross movement.
 Due notice will be given of the time and place of the meetings to be held by her. It is expected that she will be in New Haven the latter part of February. One evening lecture will be given to the public when men and boys also will be admitted. Both her lectures are without admission fee. Dr. Bushnell is highly recommended by Miss Frances Willard, Mrs. Caroline Buell. and other well known temperance workers.
 An Enserprfsing and Widely Known
 Lady.
 Mrs. C. F. Deihm of New York, proprietor of "Our Second Century," visited New Haven this week. Mrs. Deihm is one of the most widely known business women in the country. She earned her prominence by the remarkable force with which she conducts her several publications. Her first enter prise, and the one which spread her name and fame throughout the length and breadth of the land, was the Centennial safe. This en- terprise was to place in the centennial exhi- bition in 1876 at Philadelphia, an immense iron safe which was the receptacle of various souvenirs, the chief among them being large album in which is the signature of all the famous men in the country, statesmen, liter ary people, soldiers and others. President Hayes and Chief Justice Waite took an especial interest in Mrs. Deihm's patriotic enterprise and by vote of Congress the safe was allotted a place in the Capitol and the ceremonies of the closing of the safe were largely attended and were the occasion of great interest. The idea is that the safe is to remain locked until the dawn of the second centennial, then to be opened, provision as far as can be being made for q continuance then of the same en- terprise that Mrs. Deihm has shown.
 Mrs. Deihm said it was seven years since her last visit to New Haven, but her friends see that time deals kindly with her, and that she possesses the same excellent spirit and commanding presence. which has always been hers. Both her weekly family journal and her quarterly magazine are models and enjoy the patronage of most of the members of Congress, with many of whom Mrs. Deihm is personally acquainted.

THE PEACE THEY WILL GET.

Our esteemed Republican contemporary,
the Harriso2bulg Estate Republican, -
who has been, and is to-day, standing by
Malone as the leader Of the party III Vir-
ginia, and scoring his opponents in the
party with vigorous acridity, had an ar
tcle last week headed, LET US have
peace" The sort OF peace he proposes to
give the Republican opponents of the G en-
eral proves to be OF walk-the- plank
charac ter, strongly in contrast with the
pacific character Of the head line. 1t is
contained in these lines:
''The way to have peace in the ship is to
throw overheard all incorrigible mutineers :"
After all, that is about the siz3 of it, and

HERALD" ex-Gov. Cameron, and the rest
of the recalcitrants may as we'll know now,
as later, that their names are On the black
list. There have been rebellions in the
Republican party Of Virginia before, and
Malone has a long list Of the names of their
leaders that he has made walk overheard
from the party ship into the waters of OBJ
security. The present leaders will be no
exception if their insurrection is unsuc-
cessful. 1t is life or death with them.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

1t has been so long complaint in
Stanton. as to become chronic, that boys
of tender age come home intoxicated, not
withsJanding the law against selling to
minors. The saloon-keepers have been
roundly abused for selling it, though they
pleaded hard that they did not. The po-
lice were abused for not reporting the
saloon-keepers for what they were not
doing. Judge Grattan has put new face
on all this. Last Friday he instructed the
Grand Jury to indict all adults who they
had information had bought liquor for
minors; for 1t now appears that has
been the way the boys have gotten it-a
way which got around both the saloon
keepers and the police. A dozen indict-
ments were promptly brought against these
adults Then came the obstructive theory,
advanced by the defendants counsel, that
the minors who supplied the money for the
liquor and drank it, could not testify to
that fact, because it would criminate
themselves under an ordinance of the city.
Judge Grattan promptly overruled this and
compelled the minor witnesses to testify.
Judge Grattan will have the thanks of
the community for two rulings which
strike at the root of an evil that has long
existed here.

HOW IT HAS 4 Effected VIRGINIA
WORRYING MEN

w OIAI N UIH EN.
A fact goes much further than q theory
1t is upon the facts apparent under the
administration of Mr.. Cleveland that he
will be re elected. At the election last fall
engine company at Richmond ordered the
works to be closed after midday so the
employees could vote. In announcing that
this time would be given, he addressed
them to this effect
81 am DESTROYS that every man should feel
at liberty to vote as he sees fit. but at the
same time I would state to them my convic-
ton that their best and only interest lies in
the support of the Democratic party. When
Cleveland was inaugurated we paid off 1852
men; the last pay day we settled with 400.
This speaks for the present administration,
and shows how we are benefited by it. 1t
must be that man is inspired when he sees
around him such evidence as is shown by
ten cars, standing as they now are, upon our
tracks, to be loaded with our manufactures.
1t means steady employment, and that means
contentment."
For the twenty years the Republican
party was in power at Washington it had
no ship bailt at the Norfolk Navy Yard;
every thing that was done in that way was
done up North. Last week the comman-
der in charge at the yard announced that
the new steel war ship ordered to be built
there, would be shortly comm nced. and
would give twelve hundred men steady
work for TWO years

the strongest supporters of a National

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

The report of the Harrisopburg execu-
ton, published in the VINDICAToR last
week, and the statement of the man, about
to die, that he had never been to Sunday
school, never heard a sermon, and never
heard prayer iu his life, IS worth think
ing over. A prominent church member of
Augusta county congratulated himself to
our correspondent, that no white man in
Augusta could make the statement that
Finchum made. Our correspondent ap-
piled to two public officers Of Augusta,
whose duty it is to ride the county, for
their opinion. and they said. to use their
expression, that ''you could find them in
almost any part Of the county" When
we recollect the amount of money that is
yearly sent by our churches to convert the
heather in other lands, this is statement
that ought to make more than passing
impression. Cur churches deserve great
credit for their liberal contributions to
Foreign Missions-many of their members
having to make sacrifices to do it-but it
does seem that it would not be bad plan,
if both cannot be carried GU successfully,
to give the foreign heather vacation, and
attend to the one at our doors 1t is a
great pity that in Valley where there are
fourteen evangelical denominations, spend
ing thousands of dollars on foreign mis-
sions, and hunting foreign heather out OF
the jungles to convert them, the heather in
our jungles at home have to fire gun and
kill somebody to attract attention to them
selves. 1t is barely possible that when
Jesus instructed his apostles to carry his
teachings into every land, he might have
meant his own land too. If he did, it
would have been very like him, for none
ever regarded the poor and ignorant and
degraded more tenderly than He did, or
sought them out to teach them more than
He-even il they lived in his own native
land.
