COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor of the DEaocRAT:-
 The democratic committee have for some time suspected that persons were being naturalized and made voters who were not entitled to those honors. Enoch Ire pannier of No II Union St was one of the suspected. He appeared before the dis trict court on Oct q, made oath that he was 21 years of age, and upon the strength of this oath was duly made a citizen of United States. On Oct 26, he appeared before the selectmen, again made oath that he was 21 years of age, and was about to be made a voter when Registrar Casey, at the suggestion of the man who held a list of the names of the suspected, inter rupted the proceedings and asked the young man when he be came 21. He then admitted that he was not 21 years of age, but claimed that he would be Oct %. He was of course summarily dismissed. The democratic town committee, whose sole object is to prevent and punish fraud, could not do otherwise than present the matter to the United States commissioners. Trepannier was found, admitted that he was not 21, explained his action by saying that he was told to do so by certain per sons in this city, said that he would will ingly go before the commissioner and tell the truth. I told some of his friends that would telegraph them if any harm came to him in New Haven. When we arrived before the commissioner, MT s. P.''Williams and Charles A. Colley, Esq, appeared in Trepannier's behalf, the latter as his coun- sel and the former as his bondsman. After giving bonds for his appearance on Mon day afternoon at ? o'clock, the accused, his counsel and his bondsman returned to Waterbury, I understand that some of his friends claim that the telegram rN1.nf only say that no harm came to the accused and his friends were there to take care of him. AS for the charge that he was abused in any way, il is entirely false. MT O'Brien is a constable of the town and U. s. Deputy Marshal This man confessed his guilt, signihed his entire willingness to go before the U. $. Commissioner and tell him the truth. He was furnished with a good dinner from Bolster's hotel, provided with an over coat, and went to New Haven without the use of any force. He claims that he will be 21 next Monday, but refuses to tell il what parish in Canada he was born. Oi course after the two false oaths he con fesses to have taken, his unsupported statement cannot now be accepted as trustworthy It is said that, if he was { democrat he would not be prosecuted. wish to state here, that if any republican will furnish me with evidence to convic any democrat of violating the laws o. the United States, 1 will give my services without charge to assist il punishing him. Another thing, do no believe the French speaking people O
 Waterbury will uphold any of thei
 countrymen in taking false oath. If thi
 young man is innocent of any intention t' do wrong, and was prompted by other | are the ones to suffer not he.

ANIUSEM ENTS.
.Monte Cristo.


 One of the largest audiences of the season witnessed the production of Monte Cristo" by James O'Nein and his excellent com pany at the opera house last night. Mir O'Neills interpretation of his part is truly grand. It is part that calls for wide range of talent.
 Shadows of Great City"
 Shadows of Great City" is consid- cred to be one of the most successful plays now before the public. It is full of ex- citing situations, and the action is rapid and continuous, holding the attention of the audience from the first scene to the last The company has been specially selected, not for any distinct individual prominence, but with view of presenting every characterer in an even and thor oughly artistic manner. To this end one of the best companies now on the road has been engaged. The attraction is under the direct personal management of the Messrs Jefferson, sons of the famous com edian, and their personal experience has enabled them to present play that is numbered among the greatest popular sue ceases of the season. At the opera house Tuesday evening.

The Family Currant Bushes.

Forty years ago around every family gar den stood a row of currant bushes, loaded every year with wholesome fruit. During the harvest time they furnished an appetizing relish with every meal, and, dried in the sun, they were kept by the prudent housekeeper through the winter, and were frequently seen on the tea table or supplied as a relish for the sick. But this fruit is now rarely seen in the farm or village garden. The borer and cater pillar have destroyed the bushes throughout the land, except when gardeners have had pluck enough to destroy these insects each year as soon as they came.-Chicago News

A Chi1d,s Funeral in sna;n.

The funeral of a dead child is one of the spectacles in Toledo always impressing for eigners as strange. A priest leads the pro- cession, after him walking boy who car ries the coffin on his head, keeping 1t in place by his lifted hands. Then follows crowd of boys, girls and men carrying lighted candles. No matter how brightly the sun may be shin ing the candles are burning as though it was dark. In the midst of the candle bearers Is borne a bier on which is the body of the dead There are no signs of grief, the bear CTS of the corpse chatting and gossiping with the candle carriers and sometimes threaten ing to roll the remains off the bier by fail ing to carry it carefully.-Cor. Demo craf

Injurious to the Eyesight.

Heated rooms weaken the eyes, so do small bonnets which do not shade the face, so does a glare of light, or light that is too dim. In short the eyes need great deal more care than they get, Ill health of any sort weakens them. Going with cold feet causes more harm to the eyes than any one ever suspects, and many cases of weak eyes are relieved at once by hot foot baths and thick stockings The sight is often strengthened by applica- tions just above the eyebrow and on the tenn pie rather than the eyeball itself.-Shirley Dare's Letter

HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED.
A Man Stabbed by Fellow Who Killed
 a Man Years ago.

Man Stabbed by a Fellow Who Killed Man Years ago.
 Yesterday morning Detective Blakeman found man in New Haven cruelty abus- ing a horse, and started to arrest him. The man was Edward l.. Whitney of No S2 Olive street, and the horse belonged to his landlady, Mrs Clement While Blake man was struggling with his prisoner a man rushed up saying that Whitney had stabbed a man on Union street. The prisoner resisted the detective and Officers Smith and Moore came to Blakeman's s assistance. Whitney was taken to the police office and charged with drunken ness, breach of the peace and cruelty to animals
 The man whom Whitney stabbed is Frederick w. Mansfield, an engineer in the Consolidated railroad shop. The men en- gagged in discussion at Timms saloon on Union street and several blows had been struck when Whitney drew knife and cut Mansfield on the arm. The wound is about two inches long, but not very deep. Mans field was afterwards arrested charged with breach of peace and drunkenness. Neither secured bail
 It is thought that Whitney is the man who stabbed Daniel Barrett at Meriden about 12 years ago. A crowd of men were in Meriden saloon known as the "ship'' one Sunday morning when Whitney and Barrett quarreled. Barrett had his antag- onist on the floor when he drew knife with his free hand, opened it with his teeth and cut Barrett severely. Barrett died from the wounds in few days and Whit ney was bound over to the superior court. He testified that he was in danger of being killed and that ue stabbed Barrett in self defense. He was released on a technicality and warned Dever to enter the state again.

 A correspondent of St Louis paper, in comparing the players of the St Louis and New York teams, figures it out that the former possesses superior men over the latter in every position save one catcher and right fielder.

AN INHUMAN FATHER.
Arrested For Cruelty to His Six Week
 Old Child.


 Joseph Hatton was before the court this morning to answer to the dual charge of cruelty to his child and being 8 comm on drunkard Hatton lives with his wife and six weeks old child near the New England depot. According to the testi- mony of his wife and neighbors he is bad man when in drink and not responsible for his actions. About a week ago he went on one of his periodical sprees. He beat his wife, held his infant child under an open water faucet to make him stop crying, threatened to burn the house and finally attempted to roast the baby in the kitchen stove. But for neighbours interference Hatton would have been guilty of the awful crime of murdering his child. He was placed under arrest and this morning pleaded guilty, refusing to say anything in his own behalf. A sentence of sixty days in jail was imposed on each complaint.

Reading Is the Key.

Reading is the key that admits us to the whole world of thought and fancy and imagination; to the company of saint and sage, and of the wisest and the wittiest at the wisest and wittiest moment. It enables us to see with the keenest eyes, hear with the finest ears, and listen to the sweetest voices of all time.-Magazine of American History

The Air of John Browns BODY

You were pleased 10 publish, a few
days age. . communication from me on
the subject Of the genesis of the song of
'John Brown" That of the air to which
it is sung is also very interesting, and
belongs to a complete history of the
"Marseillaso'' Of the emancipation.
Though adapted TO a Methodist hymn, it
appears in the beginning to have been
some kind Of a voudoo song and may be
possibly Of purely negro origin. Liedt.
Chandler, in an article on Sherman's
march to the sea, says that during n halt
at Shady Dale. in Georgia, the tFcdcraD
band struck up John Browns body lies
mOldcring in the grave" Great was
the amaZement Of the soldiers to see a
number of negro girls come out lonc by
one from the deserted houses, and, form
ing a circle round the band, dance in q
grave and digniiied manner without
smiling, Us if in some kind of n magical
or religious ceremony. The dance over
they disappeared. The band played
other airs. but The girls did not ]rcappear:
and their modest and earnest department
on this occasion made an impression on
the spectator. Inquiry Of TN Old negro
woman elected the fact that the air was
known Us THE wedding tune" that it
had no connection with hymns or songs,
ami that the colorrl girls all believed
that they must dance whenever they
heard il played or that they would never
lie married. The words and name Of
.'John Browns Body" were MS sci un-
known TO every one then, in that obscure
corner Of the south. "a was convinced. -
says tho writer, THAT the tune was ollcr
where the words were unknown than
where they were familiar"
l can only add that there are yet in ex-
istence in he United States several voudoo
airs and dances. and that one Of the most
accomplished ladies whom / ever met had
learned something of them. Ii is very
probable, As | have already suggested,
that in lis origin John Brown belongs
TO this mysterious music. Charlie @.
Leland in st. James Gazette.
