 The Lesson ofthe Fly.


 Let us walk together, dear reader, and learn that in strolling through this beautiful world with open eyes we shall see many things that we should not were they closed. Let us bring intelligent methods of observ- ation to bear on the fly. Not the elusive fly which the base ball player vainly essays to keep from gliding through his fabricated fin gers, nor yet the fly district telegraph boy, whom no one has ever seen fly.
 The fly we mean is just the simple Amer iean house-Ay. Not so simple, dear reader; no, not so simple as he looks, and the human ! race has never been able to bunco him into I the belief that vinegar was molasses. Nath- less, he is simple in his tastes. A little thing ! like bald head furnishes him more amuse ment than a whole Wagner opera.
 His sense Of hUmor is we'll developed and | his sides fairly shake with laughter as he glides away into space and looks back at you \ with two or three thousand of his eyes, while you vainly slap the place where he was-but | isn't.
 | Solomon said, ''Go to the ant, thou slug gard" The fly is away ahead of the ant as | g missionary. He does not wait for the slug gard to come to him. but gets up early in the morning and goes right to work and finds the sluggard in bed. No matter how much trouble the sluggard may have taken the night before to keep him out, the fly is or | hand singing his morning hymn of praise and prospecting around to find out just what kind of sluggard he has tackled this time This search for information involves walking around on exposed portions for considera' tion. Then the sluggard wakes up, aims carefully and strikes a desperate blow, only to bruise his own nose or ear, as the east may be, while the happy fy-happy in th' consciousness of duty done--fits of, to re- turn anon and renew his 1abors. Then tht sluggard gets up. and all that day, if he need ed fly to bait g ish-hook, he couldn't fni one within mile. How beautiful are thy ways, O-Naturei
 How we rebel at being reused from slum Der at unseemly hoursl Not so the fly Come with me, dear reader, into this darl oom and light the gas. Do you see the flies calmly sleeping on the ceilinga Note how gladly and cheerfully they waken and jei1 in our little repast. See the alacrity witl which they come down and promenade il our butter or bathe in our milk. Mark, too how willingly the humble fly lay down ever his life in the great cause of huckleberry pie Thus, reader mine, by closer observation VI learn that in natures grand plan even thu most insignificant of things-even hyl- has it's work to do and it's place to fill.

THE BIFFRL IRON TOWER.

A structure That Is to make our
 Washfngton Monument Seem Small
 TO be About one ThouBand Feet
 High.
 A friend in Paris has sent to Mir. Edward D. Beach of Hartford handsome design tor blue prinD of the sky-piercing "Eiffel tower," which is to be, when completed, the tallest and most wonderful tower in the world. Doubtless many Connecticut visitors to next years Paris exposition will gaze at it with the appropriate emotions.
 It is a skeletony-looking structure, of iron throughout, broad based, tapering, with two glass -windowed platforms, terminating in a lantern nearly thousand feet above the ground. Four grand stairwsys will climb to the first platform, the ornamented roof of which is higher than the tops of the towers of Notre Dame. Four lifts will ply between the ground and the second platform, the flags on which are very nearly CT quite on a level with the cross on the dome at St. Peters at Rome. Two lifts will ply between the second platform and the summit, and con tinuous trip from the ground to the summit will be matter of six or seven minutes. OuI Washington monument is now the tallest of human edifces, being 565 feet high, but this Eiffel tower will overtop 1t by over 4oU feet.
 The summit will probably be rather try' ing place for people of weak nerves when . stiff breeze Is blowing, but the engineers have figured it out to their own satisfaction that this remarkable tower will stand the pressure of hurricane twice as violent as the most violent ever yet known (or at any rate scien- ti6cally observed and recorded) in Paris.
 A New Haven friend writes: A party of guests partook of an exquisite banquet re- gently at the top of the second landing A few of them tried to climb higher, but the weak nerved ones soon crawled back gladly to the landing again and only two or three reached the top where the workmen were.

INFORMATION WANTED.
The Resolution Concerning the Late Bat
tle-Flag Scandal

WASHINGTON, January 11th.-It is under
stood the House Committee on Military
Affairs was ready to report to-day the reso-
luton of Representative Boutelle of Maine
calling upon the Secretary of War for in
formation with reference to the proposed
surrender of the attlefags. Owing, how
ever, TO Boutelle's temporary absence from
the House, the report was withheld.
Boutelle said in an interview tonight
that he understood the resolution would be
reported favorsbly tomorrow, without ma
terial change. The only amendment of
importance is one which makes the resolu-
ton include cases where the flags of Union
troops recapturei from the Confederates
had been returned to regiments in the
loyal States. This, Boutelle said, did not
seem to him to have any bearing upon the
return of flags to the defunct organizations
of the Conlederacy
Upon being asked whether it is true that
flags were removed from the Ordnance
Museum before the present Administration
come into power, Mr.. Boutelle replied that
he understood such to be the case, but a
mere change in the location of flags was
poor excuse for attempting to send these
sacred relics to the South.

HUNTINGTON's LINES.
North Texan Towns that Want to be on
Railroad.

BoNHAM (rex.), January 11th.-C. P.
Huntington great railroad, the st. Louis
and San Francisco, is much sought after
institution by the North Texas towns.
The local press for the past two or three
weeks has been urging upon the citizens
the necessity of immediate action in irving
to secure line of the road through this
part of the State
Arthur City, on the Red river, sixty miles
northeast of here, is the present eastern ter
minus of the line, and the most feasible as
well as most practicable route for the road
to penetrate Texas is direct from Arthur
City to Fort Worth, distance of 175 miles.
By this means North Texas would secure
connecting line, not only to St. Louis and
the East, but also to the Pacific coast.
The towns along the proposed route will
offer liberal bonuses, and it is probable that
by the middle of June next work will have
commenced on the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco through Texas

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS.
Increasing Demands for the Nativ,
Wines of California

New YORK, January 11th.-Bontort's
ltale and Spirit Circular reviews California
wine-making. 1t notices the fact that dur
ing the year the Commissioner of Agri-
culture has sent a representative to study
diseases of the vine III Los Angeles county
and alludes to the visit of a professor from
the National School of Agriculture at
Montpelier, France, to California. 1t de-
clares that the developments in California
wine-making during the past year are i'm
portant. The must condensing machine is
said to be of the utmost importance. The
must, it says, will probably be made up
into superior French claret in London, and
some of it reexported to America The
process will make good opening for all
the surplus supplies of California grapes.
The receipts of California wines by Pa
cifc Mail and vessels direct are stated at
1.310, ,S13 gallons in 1887, as against 696, $50
gallons in 1886. The shipments have also
increased. Receipts of California brandies
by sea were Is 0G0 gallons larger in 1887
than during the preceding year, and the
shipments by rail were 10000 gallons III
excess of 1856.

A COLLEGE DISEASE,
Massachusetts the Breeding Ground of
&the Mugwump Germ.

ICopyr9, 1885, by Ce ahfoy7ua associated! Press
PHILADELPHIA, January 11th. - The
Washington correspondent of the Press re-
ports an interview with Congressman
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,
concerning the feeling in the Bay State
with reference to the nomination of Blaine
for the Presidency. Lodge says that the
Republicans of Massachusetts, are strongly
in favor of Blaine, more so than of any
other State of which he knows. The Mug
wumps are not getting any recruits, and
some who bolted Blaine have since voted
the Republican State ticket in Massachu-
sets.
The Mugwumps in 1884 demanded civil
service reform, but said they did not favor
free trade, but now they are fee traders.
The Mugwump free traders of Massachu-
setts are chiefly professional men, young
lawyers who have been graduated quite re-
Gently from Havard and Yale, and few
clerks in the banks and offices and only
now and then a business man or manu-
facturer. The influence of the college is
very great, all the teachers in Harvard, for
instance, being directed to the turning out
OF young free traders.
