A WONDROUS GROWTH.
The Commercial Importance of the Ma
tons Telegraph systems.

Each of the great departments OF
electrical application has its own in
teresting story or pertinent moral, and
each is typical cNemplitication Of the
rapidty with which, in America. the
visionary idea of one hour becomes
the prosaic reality of the next. The
telegraph was the first of the great
electrical successes, and is an old friend
of the present generation. Its ten
word tariff has introduced into popu-
lar and business phrascology II tcr>r-
ness the furthest removed from gram
mar and elegance. 1t is prime agent
in stock -jobbing operations and the
ready ally of the detective bureau II

whose columns it half ills. Its wires
have long been among the strongest
ligatures that can unite a nation 50
widely distributed from sea to sea MS
ours. 1t has profoundly affected inter-
national relations, provoking from
Prince Bismarck the odd complaint that
diplomacy has, therefore, ceased to be
unctuous. Fit expression. as it is. OF
this fussy. alert, inquisitivc and in
tense age, it has become hHckneycd
and commonplace. Yet it has been in
use bare fifty years. for it was only
in January, 1888, that Professor Morse
completed his rough operative model
of the recording electromagnetic tele-
graph, and exhibited it in this city.
Early associates of Morse are still liv-
ing who helped him string his priml-
tive land lines, while Mr.. Cyrus Field
recalls easily, across a scant quarter OF
century, the vivid memories of the
failure of the first cables. when hope
and funds were both exhausted, and
Dr.. Holmes apostrophized in caustic
verse the mythical De Sauty, who in
sisted throughout that every thing was
"all right" when there was we'll
founded suspicion that something
was very decidedly wrong. At the
present time dozen cables span
the Atlantic between Europe and
America. In 1886 there were
667, 40 miles of telegraph wire
in the United States. which carried
$4,000, 900 messages, and the aggregate
of work done in analogous services,
such as police, fire, burglar alarm,
stock-ticker and district messenger,
would show results as large. These
figures are in themselves an indication
that the interest of the public in the
telegraph is now commercial rather

IN MEMoRIAM.
Lines written by Louise M. Alcott on the
death Of her mother.1
Mysterious death who in single hour
Life's gold can so refine;
And by thy art divine
Change mortal weakness into immortal power,
Bending beneath the weight Of eighty years,
Spent with the noble strife
OF a victorious life,
We watched her fading Heayenward through
our tears.
But, ere the sense Of loss our hearts had wrung
miracle was wrought
And swift as happy thought
She lived again, brave beautiful and Young.
Age. pain and sorrow dropped the walls they
wore. 4.
And showed the tender eyes
OF angels in disguise, .-a
Whose discipline so patiently she bore.
The past years brought their harvest rich and
fair,
While memory and love
Together fondly wove
A golden garland for the silver hair.
How could We mourn like those who are bereft,
When every pang OF grief
Found balm for itself ...-
In counting up the treasures she had left.
Faith that withstood the shock Of toll and time
Hope, that defed despair,
Patience that conquered care.
And loyalty whose courage was sublime.
The great deep heart that was home for all
just eloquent and strong,
In protest against wrong;
Wide charity that knew no sin, no fall.
The Spartan spirit that made life so grand,
Mating poor, daily needs
With high, heroic deeds,
That wrestled happiness from fate's hard hand
We thought TO weep, but sing for Joy instead,
Full Of grateful peace
That follows her release:
For nothing but the weary dust lies dead
Oh, noble woman neyermore queen
Than in the laying down
or sceptGr and Of crown.
10 win greater kingdom yet unseen;
Teaching us how to seek the highest goal;
- To earn the true success;
To live, 10 love, to bless
And make death proud to take royal soul.

Mons. Flandreau, merchant Of

He had reached the last named place,
attended to considerable mercantile
business, and departed for home. He
was never seen alive again. His body
was found two days later on the road

Confined to His Bed at Lime Rock Since
 Monday.
 Ex-Senator w. H. Barnum is seriously ill at his residence in Lime Rock. He left New York Monday for his home and went to bed immediately. His condition at that time was such that it was feared his ill ness would prove fatal, but he has rallied during the past twenty-four hours and his family and friends are much relieved by the change.
 A New York doctor and Dr Chisholm of Chicago, the family physician, are in attendance, and the bulletins they issud last night were very favorable.
 Mir Barnums health has not been good for several years, and it was with great re- luctance that he consented to take an ac- tive part in the presidential canvass.
 For several weeks MT Barnum has been growing more feeble daily, and on Mon day, after his work ct the national demo cratic headquarters was finished, he was forced to give mp and go home.
 Ex-Senator Barnum's son, Attorney Bar mum of New York, is with his father, and yesterday evening he said that he didn't think the ex- x-senator's condition was at all alarming All he needed, he said, was rest Attorney Barnum was confident that his father would be all light with a few weeks of rest and quiet

REPUBLICAN OUTRAGES.
A Number of Arrests Likely to Folio,
 Last Nights Racket.

It is a matter of surprise that so many good republicans and law abiding citizens should have lent their assistance to last nights lawlessness. No one planes them for feeling that way, or for making night hideous as they did, with their tin horns and other weapons. But the burning of the Cleveland and Thurman banner on South Main street was an outrage. It was malicious piece of deviltry and if the guilty parties can be found out they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. A reward of $10 is offered for the convic- tion of the perpetrator of the outrage.
 The burning of the banner was not the only criminal piece of work either. The rooms of the Young Mems Democratic club on Bank street were entered and the Cleveland and Thurman transparency was torn down and added IS fuel to the pyre T Exchange place. There is Q clue to the perpetrators of this outrage and some of our hightoned young republicans need not be surprised if they are called upon to ap pear before the police court

of west Haven.
 The town of Orange recently brought suit against Charles Ward of West Haven, prominent and wealthy builder of that place, over seventy-fve years of age, and the case will come up in the court of com mon pleas next week.
 The case is very peculiar one and the defense alleges conspiracy on the part of the principal witnesses for the town. Miss Lillian Ward, young woman twenty-two years of ace, accused Ward of being the father of her child, and the town is suing Ward to make him provide for its support
 The girl was said to be Wards step daughter, but this is understood not to be q fact. Ward claims that the charge is 8 conspiracy and that Lillian had told people that a young man named Manning was responsible for her condition.
