ADJUSTMENTS.
"Dan Darcy"

John Harington( (Carboy), for many years editor of the New York Dispatch, paid the following tribute to James c. Roach, who plays return engagement at the opera house next Friday evening. The variety halls have graduated an army of quasi character actors, whose delineatious of the many-sided and unctuous Celt are as much like the real Irishman as tallow light is like the sun. From "Jack Johnson" to Power and from Power to John Collins, no man has made a lasting and general success upon the stage in Irish comedy but trueborn Irishman. A striking ex- ponent of the truth of this statement is now before us, or rather near us, in the person of MT James c. Roach "Jim Roach" is known to the newspaper craft from Ban gor to San Francisco and in the pen-and- ink colonies of Melbourne and London as an Irishman of the truest die-hearty, hap py and manly.
 '.Held by the Enemy"
 Monday evening Jacques opera house will be occupied by play new in character to the stage, and founded upon incidents connected with the late war. It is by MT William Gillette, who has attained con siderable fame as a playwright on account of being the author of several successful plays. This new play, "Held by the
 
 manner as at the Madison Square theater, New York, where it had a run of 25O nights.
 Joseph Jefferson
 In Rip Van Wrinkle" at the opera house next Tuesday evening will fully satisfy the desire to hear..the representative American comedian in one of the prettiest and most poetic comedies upon the stage which is very great, and the seats are selling rapidly the probability being that there will be { fulland fashionable house.
 ''Siberia."
 The audience at the opera house last evening was more than we'll pleased with the drama "Siberia," which was presented for the second time in Waterbury.

ANOTHER ARREST MADE.

United States Marshal Lovejoy of New Haven came to this city y,s erday and arrest, d Mrs Kate Lawlor of 42 Liberty street on the charge of being equally liable with Mrs Margaret Csrmody in forg ing pension claim.

THE WASHINGTON TRIP.
Will the Second Regiment Participate in
 the Inauguration Day Parade?

Will the Second Regiment Participate in
 the Inauguration Day Parade
 Although it is rather early to decide definitely, it seems more thaa probable that the Second regiment will not attend the inaugural parade on March at Wash ington. The last time the regiment at tempted to participate in this parade was in 1873 at Gen Grants inauguration. There was delay in the transportation and the special train was side tracked several hours in Jersey. There was a suspicion at that time that the detention was put up job to prevent the Second from taking part in the great parade. In any event the Con- necticut troops did not arrive in Washing ton until o'clock on the evening of In auguration day, after the parade was all over The boys were thort ughly disgus- ted and one and all vowed that they would never take the trip again.
 The Seconds men really suffered during the time the cars were side-tracked, The fires went out in nearly all the cars, and the boys were obliged to raid adjacent farms and lug fence rails to keep up even an endurable temperature in the cars. Then they were out of food for several hours and had nothing to eat until Phila- delphia was reached when light lunch was served to those fortunate enough to buy something.
 At the national capital the regiment was billeted in the National armOry, an old, unused building occupied in the rebellion by volunteer regiments when passing through 10 the front. The floor was filtered with straw and bed-ticks, and the tired Connecticut soldiers rested for the night in such quarters as best they could provide. Very little preparation had been made in fact for the men, and existence was a sort of go s-you-please. The boys were disgusted over the fact that they ar rived too late to parade, and were not for getful of the fact that several regiments were allowed to pass the Connecticut trains arriving in season to parade.
 However, the regiment was accorded special mark of distinction the follow ing day at noon, when the fine organiza- tion marched in review. A big crowd had assembled on Pennsylvania avenue when the Second marched up and was reviewed by President Grant About 68O men were in the regiment and nearly all paraqed, the companies turning out in fllll ranks. Col $. R. Smith was in command, with Lieut. Col Bario, Major Bannon, of Waterbury, and Russell Thompson, adjutant.
 There was some talk of sending the regi- ment to Washington in June. Although this scheme has not been talked up to any great extent, it has so far met with more favor than the proposed Inauguration day scheme. Such trip it is thought would prove very pleasant to all participating The men could see the capitol city when it was not crowded and under very favorable auspices. If the trip is taken, it is very likely that the Fifth Maryland regiment will extend to the Connecticut soldiery some special courtesies, including an escort and collation. in the city of Baltimore. Al though the March trip has not been can vassed save by few companies. judged from present indications it will not be taken.

Sent to the Pest House.

William Spencer, colored, aged 20, ar rived in New Haven yesterday from Jack sonville, Fla, bound for his brothers home in Meriden. He called on Agent Preston of the Organized Charities associa- tion for assistance. Agent Preston turned the man over to Health Officer Williston who obtained an order from Town Agent Reynolds for his removal to the pest house. The health officer hardly believes that Spencer will have the yellow fever, but de- cided to use all necessary measures of pre- vention.

A New York Man Who Flew Too High
 Comes to Grief in New Haven.
 Thomas M. Almack, aged 34, of New York, was arrested at his boarding place in New Haven, yesterday evening, on a bail piece issued by New York authorities. He was taken to the metropolis on the 7:15 train yesterday evening by his bondsman, New York man named Abrams, and Detective Reilly. Behind Almack's arrest is a little story. Almack is New York business house. Two months ago he became acquainted with a woman of the town who sported a 1000 diamond pin. Though he is a married man, he loved the woman of the town and spent good deal of his time in her company. Being short of money, or perhaps from klsptomania, he parted from his acquaintance and took the $1 ,00C diamond pin with him.

 The quiet village of Quakertown has been enlivened of late by thieves and rob bers. A few nights ago o. S. Brunett was awakened from his sleep by the click of a revolver and the summons to give up his money if he valued his life.

Both men then left.
 The same night Samuel B-utly was met on the road by a man who demanded his money. MT Brutly drew revolver and frightened the robber away.

A Titled klcptOmaniaC,

The earl of Derby, whose seat is in the suburbs of Liverpool, is a pronounced kleptomaniac. His gracc's particular weakness is for old silver, and the greater its antiquity and beauty, the more certain it is to find its way into his pocket. There is story to tho effect that when kncelihg at the communion table only the ready hand of the rector saved the quaint old winc-cup from sliding up tho earps sleeve. It is the duty of his valet to examine his masters clothes every morning, when he has dined out the night before. Whatever is found is taken to tho untess, who returns it to the owner, with pretty note of apology. Tho earl is quite aware of his unfortunate weakness, and has struggled against it in vain. No fear of detectives or exposure makes heavy his light fingers, and it is said he will not trust himself to go alone to a pubic sale where old silver is displayed. -[Argonaut.

Mean ng of America.

The meaning of the name Amcrigo has often been discussed, the only thing certain being that it is ono of those names of Teutonic origin, like Hum- berto, Alfonzo, Grimaldi, or Garibaldi, so common in northern Italy, which tes- tify to the Gothic or Lom bard con quest. Americ, which occurs as early as 744 A. D., is probably contracted form of the namo Amalaric, borne by King of the Visigoths, who died h 531 A Bishop Enrich was present at the Council of Salisbury in s07, and an Americus Balis- tarius is mentioned in the Close Rolls thirteenth century,.
 It has been conjecturcd that tke stem is i'm, from which we get the name of Emma. The meaning of this Is not known with certainty, though Ferguson thinks it may denote ''strife," or ''noiso." Since, however, the name is probably of Gothic origin, and since the Amaluags were the royal race of the Ostragoths, it is more likely that the stem is anal, which was formerly thought to mean "without spot" but is now more plausibly connected with the old Morse aml, "labor," work" The suffice ric, cognate with rex, reich and rick, means 'rich" or powerful" and therefore the most probable signifcation of Amerigo is ''strong for labor." ."- Notes and Queries.

Missionary MoOnshiners

Ozark Mountains are inhabited by people as peculiar and primitive as those Miss Murfree has made known through her Tennessee mountain stories. Liv- ing within fifty miles of a railroad, many of these people have never seen even so much as the gleam of the rails in the distance, and locomotive would be to them not less a wonder than was the steam horse to the Indians few years ago. Born in thoso mountains they have tramped up and down their sides, cultivated patches of earth and worked out of their littlo farms suffi- cicnt to live upon. There is ittle de- mand for the products of their farms, and many farmers have drifted into illicit whiskcy manufacture to utilize the corn they grow upon the mountain side The revenue agents have found them out, broken the stills and prose- cuted the distillers, but some other farmer has gone into the business. The whiskey is sold for almost anything it will bring. In general it IS exchanged for articles of food or clothing needed, for it is seldom that money finds its way into the Ozark mountains Louis Post Dispatch.
