TO-NIGHT,s CONVENTION.

Inspired by the wisdom and harmony displayed in the city convention last even ing the delegates to to nights town conven- tion should be guided to the choice of a winning town ticket. The candidates named for selectmen by the republicans are gentlemen and competent officials, and their personal popularity will necessitste the naming of strong candidates to oppose them. The man who is to run for first selectman against Colonel Doherty must be one who can command the hearty and undivided support of the party in the town, for the colonel enjoys popularity that may tell in his favor at the polls next Monday. With such candidate, however. we believe that the colonel can be de- feated and the office be again held by a democrat. The other places on the ticket should be filled by equally strong and available men, and with ticket so ad- justed we believe that the town will give a democratic majority next Monday
 May to-night's convention name a winning ticket.

Benefits of Reading Aloud.

No one can serve others without doing good to himself. A good reader, for instance, gratif1es others by reading aloud, and he also strengthens his own body. So wholesome is the practice of reading aloud that medical authorities agree in pronouncing it healthy and invigorating exercise for the mind and the body. The late Sir Henry Holland, an eminent London physician, says in his "Med- ical Notes" that persons who have tendency to pulmonary disease should methodically practice ''those actions of the body through which the Chest is in part filled or emptied of air."
 He advises that those whose chests are weak should read aloud at stated intervals, and even recite or sing, using due caution as to posture, articulation and the avoidance of excess. "These regular exercises of the voice." he adds, 'may be rendered as salu- tary to the organs of respiration as they are agreeable in their influence on the ordinary e."-Youths Companion.

Mans Belief in Charms.

Out on the pier one evening recently ob- served considerable number of men and boys strip for swim, and was not little astonished to note the many badges of super stition worn next the skin. Besides the re- ligious crosses and sanctified sachets worn by the Catholic boys and men around the neck and never removed, in the belief that they insure health and safety, saw charms and fetiches against disease, accident, rheumatism and drowning on many others, they being in most instances bands of eel skin, snake skin and other materials unknown to me, worn around the leg, both above and below the knee, around the arm and above the elbow and around the body. The impression made was that very many persons of the grade of the wharf swimmers are deeply superstitious beneath their rugged exteriors and strangely given to the mystic rites and weird faith which underlies the donning of such emblems as those which decorated fully three-quarters of the swimmers whom I saw disrobe.-Chi- cago Journal

The Courage of Principle.

But if a popular man be false, or an ac. cepted doctrine mischievous, or an agreeable habit dangerous, somebody must say so. In this sense the censor, instead of insulting other men, cheers and helps them. The youth who is so censorious that he will not associate with Lothario, and frankly calls Lovelace profigate, is social benefactor, to whom every modest woman and every gentleman is beholden. The merchant who refuses to be associated in the conduct of business with men whom he knows to be un. principled is censor of their behavior, but he certainly insults no one. Indeed, the man who is often described as censor, and there fore an insulter of others, is usually man who denounces the frauds and humbugs which he sees around him, and who has merely the courage of his opinions and prin ciples.-Harper's Magazine
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-09-25

it seems hardly possible that the great profits of the high tariff have been shared very Iberally by those who eat their bread in the sweat of their toll. It is to purchase the con- tinuance of the monopoly system which yields them such abundant returns. But the bread winners are looking into this tariff business this year. They are beginning to realize that 8 system which furnishes Andrew Carnegie with the princely income to keep home in ''true laird style" ir Cluny castle, and which he and the other monopoly barons and trust lords are su premely anxious to have continued, is no the one best calculated to further their in terests They fail to see the justice of { system for the continuance of which ricl manufacturers are willing to contribut, thousands ou thousands of dollars.
