THE DERBY EXTENSION,
Temporary Time Table Prepared Only One
 Way Station.

The New Haven Palladium says: Su- perintendent Hopson expects to have the extension in running order, next Monday, when a time table as follows will go into effect, subject to slight vari- ations if necessary: A passenger train will leave New Haven at 40 m, to which will be attached through car for Albany, arriving there at ? 50 p m. The other passenger train will leave New Haven at 30 p m and connect at Bots ford with train on Housatonic road leav- ing Bridgeport for Albany at 1 90 p m. Trains will arrive in New Haven at 1a 45 and 9 45 p m. A freight train will leave for Albany at 15 p m and arrive there at m. The freight from Albany will arrive at New Haven at 30 a m.
 For the present there will be but one stop made between Derby and Botsford, at Shelton. As soon as it can be deter mined, however, where the public need other stations, they will be erected. One probably will be made in the vicinity of Zoar Bridge.

Tn Memory of Eddie Gannan.

DIED OCTOBER g, 1888. Dear Eddie, thou hast left us, And gone to the distant shore; Gone forevermore to dwell Where sorrow is no more. Thy days on earth were fieeting, And with unsullied honor spent; Tho short thy life, thy virtues will Ever be thy monument. It was the will of Him above, To take thee to His above, And give to thee, what thon hast won Heavenly crown of gold. By thy departure from this life, We lose loving friend; But the memory of thy noble heart With our souls will ever blend. The memory of thy sinless life Will sweetest consolation be; And as an angel i'll eternal bliss Forever we'll remember thee. Wewia weep for thee no more, For thou art ever blest; Through the open doors of death Thou hast found eternal rest. Ohi long will we remember thee, Gone from this earthly scene; In pure religion we will strive To be what thou hast been. Fare thee welli but not forever, For WIG shall meet above, And our souls will seek reunion In the happy home of love.

Changes which, during the last cen
fury, have been brought about in the
garments ofmcn have in the main been
due to governmental action, says Il
writer in the .1RoM'ir. \ century ago
stockings and brccrhes We're affirmed
as the covering for the legs Of men.
1t was in time found by the medical
authorities that the close fitting stock
ing was apt to produce in marching
soldiers diseased condition of the
legs. This led 10 the invention of the
trousers, which left the lower leg free.
This new custom, thus planted in the
army-that part of the community
which of old was the glass OF fashion
naturally spread TO civil life. In this
way, too, the habit of wearing long
hair disappeared. Tho camp is no
place for such a fashion. 10 keep men
clean in hard campaigning cropped
polls were necessity. In many other
matters of dress the military habit has
affected the garments of men in civil
life. The changes have generally been
for the better, but there are some cases
in which the influence of custom is
harmful. The still collar, clearly q
remnant of the gorget, is u case in
point; the two buttons On the back Of
the coat, which once served to holu up
the sword-bclt, Il meaningless survival
maintained by convcntiunality alone
The divided tail of the ordinary coat,
which appears to be derived from the
needs Of the forseman, affords another
instance of the same nature. Men
were once dependent on the saddle for
their greater activities, and their coats
retain the mark of that time.-Nation-

He Was hound to he I.o,i,e,

Early in the war Col. Oliver, then a
major, was acting as an inspecting Of
licer to a newly-raised regiment that
carried the green flag. lie found the
Irish recruits quick enough at every
thing but military courtesy. Having
several times made the tour of the
posts without receiving the proper
military recognition, he started ont one
day to make the rounds all over again
compelling all raw recruits to "tace
out" smartly and give the prescribed
salute with some style to it. One ell
derby Irishman, very anxious to learn,
faced out well. but neglected to salute
"Now, my man" said the major, 1--WE
must do that all over again. The next
time pass salute me properly, and try
to throw into the salute all the civility
and courtesy you cam"
The major retired a little distance
and resumed his march Cor this partic-
ular post. When he reached il Private
O'Grady faced out i'll fine ST yle and came
to the present with snap. l;ut he
had not forgotten the MAJORS COM
mand to throw into the salute all the

Curious Mental Ereaks.

Lizzie link. a lO.year.old girl OF
Mount Joy, Lancaster county, Pa,
was discovered to be in q comatose
condition the other day while at
school. When she entered the school,
room she told a playmate that an
old woman had been following her and
was coming in through the keyhole.
The child, with her eyes tightly closed,
cried loudly, "Gey week." the Penn
sylvania Dutch for Ego away" When
requested to open her eyes she said
the old woman was holding them shut
with her fingers. Figures were placed
on the blackboard, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the girls eyes were
closed, she readily named all OF them
correctly. With the same precision
she repeated words which were written
upon the blackboard by the teacher.
All questions were answered without
hesitancy. Letters and figures were
written on the floor with chalk at diff
ferent points. and to the utter amaze.
ment OF those present, the Girl told in
every instance, both their location
and character. The water can. basin,
bucket and the wearing apparel Of
other children in the school were in
turn held above her head and behind
and in every instance the nature OF
the article was announced without
hesitancy. When Mr.. Ober arrived
she said she was glad to see him,
though her eyes were closed at the
time and no enc had mentioned his
name. She WAS taken home and re.
manned in the same condition for six
hours.

Ideal Husbands and Wives,

1t may be truthfully said that less
than onc-fourth OF the women who
marry know what they are doing.
They have no idea OF what their hu.
ties are, much less their rights. About
all they know is that they are getting
married. Is it any wonder that so
many are disappointed and wish
themselves out OF it?
1t is perfectly right for u woman to
have an ideal husband. yet more I'M
portant that she should have IL clear
and distinct notion OF what consti.
tutcs an ideal wife. There's where the
trouble lies. They ail want ideal
husbands, but never seem 10
think that men may want ideal
wives. Men imagine that a wife will
make them happy, and women think
that all they need to put an end to
their troubles is to secure IL husband.
How sadly both are disappointed.
The wife who expects her husband to
mike her happy is foredoom.d {, o dis.
appointment; SO is the man who en-
poets the same from his wife. We
make our own happiness, and III SO
doing make others happy.

The Meanest Cheat Vet.

From the Mexican County Miner.
A reputable citizen OF the county
writes us that not many days ago a
man took load OF grain to mill in
this county. put his horses in the
mill shed, and gave them half r
bushel OF oats in the feed boxes. He
then went into the mill, but imme.
diately returned to get a bag, but he
heard his horses paving as though
they wanted something to eat. He
went to their heads, and what was
his astonishment to find their oats
all gone.
He then began to investigate, and
found the boxes had q false bottom.
AS soon as the horses put their noses
into the oats it pressed the bottom
OF the box down so that the oats would
run through o another box, the bot.
tom OF which was filled with augerholes.
From last winter the poor horses
that were hauling logs were supposed
to be fed in this shed, and the thief
who robbed the noble animals OF
their food ought to be punished.

THE CAMP FIRE.
Cen Harnsy's Dignity-rh. Model
Soldier-A Polite Private-Army
Movements, Etc.

Gen. Harney's Notion OF Dignity.
The following story is told of Gcncr-
al Harvey when he was in command
ut Camp Verde. Texas. He was an
intensely dignitied officer, and If there
was one thing he detested more than
another it was undignilied haste. One
evening, just rs he was about to hold
dress parade. he perceived that he had
forgotten his handkerchief, and as the
weather was very hot, he said to his
orderly:
"Go to my quarters, quick, and bring
my handkerchief"
The orderly touched his cap and
started for the quarters several hundred
yards distant After he had proceed
ed short distance, remembering that
there was no time to lose, he broke in
to trot.
"Sec that scoundrel running rs
If the Indians We're after him. If there
is anything hate it is to see a soldier
running instead of marching properly.
Here, my man." continued Harvey to
another soldier, Ego after that man
Stllu tclI lIlll W Wulh,--lllil.
The second soldier started after tho
first, but as the first kept on running
the second one saw his only chance to
deliver the message was to hurry up,
SO he, too, broke into Il run. To say
that Harvey swore is to use mild
expression.
"Here, Sergeant, go after that man
and tell him if he don't stop running
Iii hang him up by the thumbs"
The Sergeant started out on u brisk
walk, but as his predecessor had u
good start he. too, began to run as
hard as he could.
"If all the three scoundrels amt
running like jack rabbits!" calculated
Harvey. I'LL show 'em," and tucking
his sword under his arm he started in
pursuit as fast as he could run, but
suddenly remembering his dignity he
came to halt. and walked stinly back
to the place where the dress parade
was to come otr.--7eams strings.
