 From the Chicago Tribunel
 "It is so sudden, Mr. Darnelle."
 1T know it is" responded the young man gently.
 He stood before her, with his weight rest ing easily on one foot, his left elbow on the mautelpiece, his right arm behind him, and his whole attitude one of careless, unstudied ease and grace acquired only by long and pa- tient praoticed.
 TT know it is," he repeated Measured by ordinary standards and by the cold convent tionalities of society it is indeed sudden. We have known eech other only twenty-four hour. Until S.25 o'clock last night neither of us had ever heard of the other. Yet with the heart one is ss hundred years. Could we have kuown one another better, darling" :" he went on, with tremor in his cultivated flat baritone voice, ''if we had attended the theatre, the concert, the church and the oys- ter parlor together for dozen seasonss Does not your heart beat responeive to mine?"
 ''I will not pretend to deny, MT. Darnelle," :" replied the young lady, with a rich blush mantling her cheek and brow, "that your avowal moves nae strangely"

A New Haven "Reminiscences AprOpOs to 1he Tariff QuestI0n-The Fate ofa
 New Haven Establlshmeng.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The following, which appeared in the JOURNAL AND COURIER number of months ago, is SO apropos to the present political campaign that I hope you will reprint it. Our esteemed Judge Robertson, father of our Judge of Probate Robertson, and the late ex- Mayor Galpin were the head men in the en- terprise spoken of:
 An elderly gentleman remarked recently:
 "The tariff question is to my mind strikin9ly Illustrated in New Haven enterprise years ago. The fate of said enterprise tends to prove the position of the Republican cam- paign speakers on the tariff subject, that if there is a reduction of the tariff many fac tories in this city will suffer. refer to what was known years ago as the old carpet fac- tory That enterprise was in existence in this city some thirty or forty years ago, but they were obliged to discharge their operas lives on account of reduction of the tariff to such an annonnt that they could not com pete with foreign importation of the goods and the parties who had invested capital there lost what they had invested therein, as one of our present most venerable and most respect ed citizens can testify. The concern promised to be good lift for New Haven and might, nao ls continued to receive the benefits Of protection" realized large fortunes for it's conductors and been very much of benefit to it's employees. Had it been protected, the business would no doubt have increased to such an extent that thousands of persons might now be employed there profit- ably in carpet making and it would have been perhaps the leading carpet man. ufactory of the United States. The fac tory was located, think, at the foot of St. John street and was composed of center building of three stories with long one-sto- ry wing at each end fn which were the looms. Most of the workmen in the factory came here from Scotland and were great acquisi4 tion to our city, and some of them became numbered among our most respected citizens. Probably all of them are now dead, though some of their children are with us. My in- formant, whose father or relatives were em- ployed there, said he was too young to un- derstand why the factory was closed and his father out of employment, but he remember ed being told the reason was that the Whigs were beaten, the Democrats successful and
 the tariff taken of by the Democrats, the re- suit being that the carpet manufacturers here could not compete with Europe and had to suspend. For time there was great distress
 among the operatives, as they had to come from Scotland to work here and knew no other trade except the weaving of carpets, in which they were adept. So much for this
 "straw."

 The wedding presents were handsome and valuable and so numerous as to forbid any attempt at description. They included arti- cles of virtue and bric-a- brao, silverware, household furnishings, etc.
 Mir. and Mrs. Seavey left last night for an extended wedding trip, and at its conclusion will reside in Bangor, where the groom is a partner in the firm of R. S. Morrison & Co.,, one of the best known concerns in that city.

A Cresus who Loashes lhe Cable.


 know of London merchant who might be said to own an island. Practically he owned it, for all it's commerce passed through his hands. He sent to the island all 1t need- ed from the outside world. The island sent to him all it had to sell to that world. His ships, directed by his captains and sailed by his sailors, carried these things to and fro. He said with a mock of displeasure, when the cable was laid to the East Indies, that his life was made wretched by it. He said that before this, he sent off his little fleet in the spring and then did what he chose till they came back. It was really very much like the commerce described in the Arabian Nights" "But now," said this poor rich man, "now I cannot be shooting grouse up in the Scotch Highlands, but little collie comes riding up to me on pony, and hands me bit of paper and says, Cable, sir,' and there is message from one of my captains on the other side of the world" This unfor- tunate rich man pretsnded that he was going to give up business because he could not have his shooing in his vacation without in- farruOkion

The Ideal WhiafIar.

New Haven is indeed to be congratulated on the privilege it is to have on November of hearing Mrs. Alice J. Shaw, the whistler of world wide fame. It will be her first ap- pearance in New Haven, and all music lovers will delight to welcome her. Mrs. Shaw gave a few concerts in New York to enthusiastic audiences previous to her series of triumphs during the past London season. Her career in London was most brilliant one. Her whistling took society people fairly by storm, and she became the lion of the hour. News paper critics vied with each other to see who could give her the most merited praise.
 The London Society Herald of July 19, 1888, says: "Mrs. Shaw is social sensation. To see tall, fine, handsome woman dressed in perfect taste, stand by her accompsnist, and, instead of singing like an angel, ,as you might expect her to do with that throat, proceeds to whistle by note until you can fancy the room filled with mocking birds, has certainly the charm of novelty. Mrs, Shaw has achieved that acme of perfect bliss to American ar lists, and whistled for the princess"
