PROHIBITION COMMENT.
". FL. Mahame.

Mr.. Shepard is mistaken in his insinu
ating remarks about my life and early
training. My parents are not Jews, mol
was I educated by Jew or Jewish school
neither have I had any connection with
the Jews, whatever. That cut Of sar-
casm is entirely out Of order.
He has attempted to produce "official
returns" for 1867. have found sew
eral of them as given by him to be in
correct. He left out Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, and then under
took to give the official" falling off etc.
His argument is too lame to follow fur
ther His statement at first was, "In no
NORTHERN STATE does the vote of that
party in 'SS appear to reach the highest
figure previously attained" In his sec
ond article he says, at will be observed
that Che third party has made gain of
2316 in the two states of Indiana and
Illinois, etc. He has yielded his point.
Again, he stated in his first article that
the PrOhibitionists will be powerless
in future political contests to do harm to
anything except the temperance cause. I
maintained in my article that vote with
the third party did not retard the cause
of temperance, and cited him to the tenn
perance legislation of the past four years
He says in his second article, "True too,
that prohibition has made wonderful
strides forward during the past ten
years" Here he yields his second f0inf.
But he says no part of this has been
done by the self-styled Prohibition party
Who said it had. / did not. said that
the legislation had occurred chiefly
where the Prohibition party was at work,
and then mentioned Georgia, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New
York, Ohio, Rhode Island, West Virginia,
Texas and Tennessee as the states in
which temperance legislation had oc-
CURED to show that vote with that
party did not iniure the cause of temper
ance. He gives me problem to solve,
but the solution proves nothing, would
like for him to demonstrate by mathe-

Andrew Nc Kinney and Will Sullivan
live in Jayville, a small settlement in
the Adirondacks, thirty miles north
of Carthage. Both are engaged in
numbering and bark peeling, and
left their camp in the woods to come
out to Harrisville, some twelve or
fifteen miles away. They were driving
slowly, about five miles from j awhile,
when their horses began to snort and
plunge, and a bear Of enormous pro-
portions came out of the brush and
took a position in the road notmore
than five rods ahead of them. The.
brute did not seem. to be the least
concerned, but reared up on his
launches, disputing the right Of way.
The men had all they could do to
manage the afrighted horses, and
came to the conclusion that either
the bear must be induced to move out
OF the way or they must turn round
and go back. They had no firearms.
Me Kinney declares that he saw a grin
on the animals face while they dis
cussed the situation. They finally
concluded to turn the team about
and let the bear chase them back
over the road provided he did not
take kindly to being bombarded
with stones, which were plenty in the
road. When every thing was. ready
for speedy retreat, Mckinney held
the horses while Sullivan, who was
the strongest, opened the fusilade.
The bear sat still and seemed to
watch the proceedings with renewed
interest. He: didn't even wink as the
missiles hizzed past him, and when.
one struck him on The shoulder he did
not vince, but he struck at the next
one with his pawn a way that
showed some bad blood. Finally
Sullivan gotsin a ttWo pound stone on
the brute S head, andiit seemed to
make him weary of the fun. He dropped
down on all tours and Sullivan
made for the wagon. Bruin, how
ever, showed no disp osition to fol-
low, but simply moved out into the
brush about two rods from the road
where he stopped and sat up towatch
for further develo pments. The men
turned their horses about and drove
by unmolested. Both ofsSthem have
encountered bears IN the N orth W Gods

that they neVersaW one with as little

A Dodge. IFrom fhe RostAn Globe.


 Mrs. Lasante is a woman wise in her day and generation, and if with the wisdom of the serpent she sometimes combines other qualities than the harmlessness of the dove, she is at least leader in society, the best dressed woman of her set, and most fassi- hating companion for all men with the pos- sible exception of her husband. Mrs. La sante recently gave very brilliant dinner party, to which she felt obliged to ask Mr. and Mrs. Mayance, although she distinctly did not desire their presence. s'Of course shall invite them," she coni- ded to friend, "but do you know I feel somehow that they won't eome2' Her manner was significant that h.1 friend 1aughingly asked

Across it was written in pencil f'Picked up oR the l street." And it indicates how unworthy was Mrs. Mayanee to shine at one of Mrs. La sante's brilliant assemblages that she really believed that the whole thing was an acci- I dent, and sent the most profound apologies I for not having responded sooner. As it was she was unfortunately engaged. Singularly enough, in making out her private list for the dinner, Mrs. Laasnte had never thought to write the names of MT. and Mrs. Mayance at all

The Har.rord County nrutual.

The 'sold reliable" Hartford County Mutual Fire Insurance company enters upon the fear 1888 without even one unpaid loss This un- precedented fact is the more remarkable in view of the further fact that the company paid last year twice ss many losses as in any previous year. But they enter upon the new year in good shape, after year that has been, as whole, prosperous one for this favorite old company. It paid seyenty-four losses last year in Connecticut alone-a remarkable number, considering the fact that the com. pany's policies are all on the ''safe" class of risks. But the last year for fires was the worst on record, even in this fire-swept country. This old company has issued an exceedingly neat and pretty calendar, the picture being fine handmade steel engrav- ing. It attracts attention for it's beauty and because of the very absence of gaudy color and display.
 This company is represented by A.E. Dud- ley & Soa in this city.

Do Net owe As Much As Supposed.
 Although Count Joseph Davo1as and his cousin Camilo Enrique Pani have left town
 they do not owe quite as much money as it
 was first supposed, owing to a little account
 that the count had at Hatch & Sons banking
 house. Mir. Root, bookkseper at Hatch's,
 being creditor to the extent of $1S0 after
 they had left town, thought of the little bal
 ance belonging to the count so that he secured
 his money all right, and MT. Thill obtained
 about $425 and he has the counts note for
 $2S0. He thinks he is all right concerning
 Davolas' indebtedness to him. A little be-
 fore the count left town he paid $69 to T. o. Lewis, $200 to E. E. Hall & Son and $7 to settle an account for beer at saloon on Union street. Pani gave Thill note for S1 OeO, which is considerably more than Pani's debt to him. MT. Thill thinks this debt will eventually be paid. The furniture l in the rooms they had on Broadway belongs to Landlord Leighton. The count told Mr. Thill that Archbishop Dayolas of Mexico was ' his uncle, the archbishop's sister, who
 keeps house for him, being his own aunt. Wednesday evening when Pani left the city ! he told friend that he was going to Bridge port to see girl. Perhaps the girl had gone | to St. Louis, so Pani thought that he also would go there. 4 short time previous to | his departure Pani went into Miller's billiard palace and took his favorite billiard cue | away without anyone seeing him. He evidently did not intend to I come back or else he would not
 have been 50 particular about his favorite cue. About Christmas time he bought four ! dogs from a man in Hartford and gave his
 note for them, the price averaging about I $250 each. A good joke is told on the Hart l ford man who bragged to his friends how he had stuck a wealthy Spaniard on the dogs. l But he still has the dogs as Pani did not | take them away and probably never will. | Last summer Pani received about $1, 800 | from home to pay his debts with and to get home, but instead of doing this he went down to the seashore and led gay life. He was fine violinist and has played in | the orchestra at the New Haven Opera House. He has also played at few private musicales.
 ! Last evening a gentleman passing on \ Chapel street met MT. Roland Du Jardin of | 119 Dwight street, who, talking about the Davolas- Pani affair, said he had a narrow es- cape. He is agent for the Encyclopedia Britannica and Scribner's, and had delivered | about $200 worth of books to Pani. The lat
 ter not fulfilling the financial conditions in
 the case Mir. Du Jardin made 8 requisition
 upon him for either the money or the books, ! and was obliged to take the books, which he did last October. He considers himself as ! having been lucky.
