LAUNCHED AND AFLOAT.

The blizzard predicted by Horace John son. the Middle Haddam wizard, cometh not. Horace will do well to give up prophecy, and devote his spare time to auctioneering.
 Kentucky is becoming a highly moral land. A gentleman named Mulligan has introduced bill in the state legislature making poker playing penalty. Evident ly MT Mulligan has reached the higher plane of intellectualized civilization.
 MT James Owen O'Connor, the renowned tragedian, has announced that he will bring suit for libel against the New York Star. All the metropolitan newspapers misrepresented him as badly as he did Shakespeare, but the Star was the vilest Iago of them all.
 The only prominent counterfeiter now out of jail known to the government off cials is Peter Mccartney, who is being tried in New Orleans for raising $1 silver certif- cates to $50 notes. McCartney's principal business has been the issuing of bogus $2O greenbacks, but it takes a good deal of money to do this, and as Mccartney left prison about three months ago without capital he turned his attention to the simpler and cheaper process of tampering with $1 notes. He was caught in this, however, and will probably go to prison.

SOME QUAINT INksTANDs.

A tiny ink bottle is set in the center of a silver knapsack.
 A bronze bear scrambling over fence has been made to do duty as an inkstand.
 The ''old oaken bucket" with its pictur- esque we'll sweep attachment, is favorite design.
 A pear, made entirely of glass, is hand somely mounted ill metal and has a space for holding ink where it's core should be-
 Devotees of the national game will appre- ciate an inkstand consisting of an ivory baseball, with the batter in front close at hand.
 An attractive novelty is grinning clown in brass, with the head stuck through hoop of the same material The ink is disclosed by lifting his peaked cap.
 An appropriate desk ornament for sport ing man is a jockey cap in brass with silver trimmings. It rests upon a couple of riding whips. The ink is hidden away under the topknot of the cap.
 A genuine pearl shell makes handsome base, upon which is placed an ink bottle of colored glass in combination with drove of sheep, a flock of geese, or some similar orna- ments in oxidized silver.
 For the girl who is afflicted with the yacht ing craze nautical inkstand is by all odds the proper caper. By turning windlass once around the well is disclosed and a drawer opens containing pens or stamps.
 The pretty bamboo inl1stands imported from Europe last season have nearly all been reproduced in this country in plush. They are so constructed that the perfume or odor bottles may be readily substituted for the ink well. Plush is cheaper than bamboo, but not nearly so serviceable
 A pleasing conceit for the library table is a clever representation of an open fireplace It is made of polished brass, and red mica is placed in the back to initiate the glow of Q real fire. The andirons serve as pen rack, and small clock rests upon the mantel

respondent, "when MT Gladstone made his attack on the government in reference to the increase of sentences in Ireland by the courts upon appeal Anything more wig orous, more impassioned, more finished, or more effective than this short but violent speech never heard even from MT Gladstone himself The answers from the treasury bench were simply pitiably in- sufficient in argument, inadequate in form, incapable in manner, and overmatched on every point. MT. Balfour, Sir Richard Webster and Mir Smith delivered them selves of talkings which as answers to Mir Gladstone's indictment were enough to make dog sit down on doorstep and cry. It was lamentable. Everybody, even those who voted against him, felt that Mir Gladstone had altogether the best of the argument, for there was the damning fact that not single instance could be cited in which any courts in the kingdom had previously increased sen tences on appeal or done otherwise than either confirm, reverse or reduce them; and as a matter of fact the government majority was no more than ffty-four, or little more than half of what it should have been had all the government fol- lowers been convinced. This, coming from the enemy's camp, will convince the admirers of MT Gladstone that their hero is still able to get the best of things when inclined to do SOL

FOR time it looked as though the re- publicans intended to make trouble over the discussion of the Mills tariff bill, but their discretion and good sense prevailed
 and an agreement was made to devote twenty days to general discussion, exclu- sive of night sessions. This will give all the time for full and free discussion of the measure that anyone could ask. It was also agreed to divide the time equally be- tween the democratic and republican speakers. The democratic leaders hope to get final vote on the bill by the 9th of June, the date of meeting of the St Louis convention, but the state of the regular appropriation bills is such, to say nothing of some other measures in which many members are interested, that it is extreme ly doubtful. Besides, if the republicans should feel disposed to put obstacles in the way, it will be impossible to have the ques- tion settled by that date.

THE warm weather happily results in the dispensing of the use of the fatal stoves in railway cars and in consequence assauges the fear in which the travelling public live. It would be we'll for the New York and New England road to follow the example of the Consolidated road and replace the dangerous stove they have been using the past winter with one that does not endan ger the lives of it's patrons. The next legislature should take some positive action in this matter. It is the only way to remedy the danger, and the teeth should be pulled out of the law. Nearly all of the railroad laws are stripped of their authority by placing the matter in the hands of the railroad commissioners. Waterbury has seen enough of this body as a court of justice.

The twelve delegates thus elec- ted-four at large and eight by districts will represent the democratic party of Connecticut ill the national convention to be held at St Louis on Tuesday, the 5th day of June next.
 Independent and conservative electors of this state who favor economy in the ad ministration of the government and the equal rights of all citizens under the con- stitution, and all persons who are in favor of perpetuating the policy and ideas of the democratic party as ex- emplifed by Grover Cleveland, are cor dially invited to act with the democratic organization in the selection of delegates and the election to follow.

Two Connecticut democratic congressman Vance and Granger-are counted on sure to stand with Randall as against Mills and Carlisle. As Connecticut has only four congressman, one of whom is a republican, the Connecticut dem ocracy, as judged by it's representation at Wash ngton, is only one-third for free trade. state like that is very promising field for the repub- cans to organize clubs in, with view to az gressive fight against the free trade president New York Press.
 The Connecticut democracy is all right and will do it's share toward electing Grover Cleveland without half trying, free trade or free trade. The free trade bug bear has no terrors for Connecticut's long headed citizens. If the Press would but take the trouble to inquire into the condi- tion of the workers in the mills of eastern Connecticut, it would find a topic for a free trade editorial.

THE examination of employees of the gov ernment printing office by the congression- al committee engaged in Investigating that establishment, proves that the half was never told of the enormous quantity of private work that was done there for re- publican officials and friends of the repub- lican public printer. The taxpayers of the country were thus robbed of many thous- and dollars. For @ republican investiga- ton this one has made large amount of good democratic campaign material.
