 Eddie Williams, of Franklin, Me, went hunting, and the gun he carried kicked" very hard when he fired it. A few days afterward he was taken i'll and died. The recoil of the gun had caused concusson of the base of the brain, producing partial paralysis of the spine and digestive organs.

Finally the boat upset, and both were thrown into the water. Michaelson tried to save Tidge, who chung to him so tightly that he was unable to swim and both were drowned.
 Three year-old Robbie De Forrest, Con- necticut boy, fell head first into a big post hole the other day. There were several inches of water at the bottom of the hole, but Robbie held himself up by the arms, so that he didn't get his face in the water, and the earth he loosened in his struggles ab- sorbed it soon; so danger from that source was soon taken away. There the young man remained, upside down, for three-quar- ters of an hour, when his aunt saw his feet sticking out of the hole and promptly yanked him out. He was nearly exhausted "Aunty," he said, II heard you every time you called, but I could not make you hear "

LAW AND L LAWYERS.

Peter the Great was opposed to litigation. exceed eleven days.
 A lawyer, making his will, bequeathed his estate to fools and madmen, "for," said he, ''from such had it and to such I give it."
 Solon compared the people to the sea and the lawyers to the wind. 'The sea" he said, twill be calm and quiet If the wind does not trouble it."
 Hargrave, the English commentator, is credited with having said: Amy lawyer who writes so clearly as to be understood is an enemy to his profession"
 In the reign of Henry VI courts were held at Dorking every three weeks and there are instances of suits lasting six months, and re- sulting in damages of four pence and costs of twelve ponce.
 European civilization may have wrought changes, but up to a few years ago the Chinese code was so simple that the services of attorneys were not necessary, and there was not lawyer in the whole empire.
 Dr. Garth, alluding in the practice of law yers, wrote:
 For fees, to any form they mold a cause,
 The worst has merits and the best has flaws;
 Five guineas make criminal today,
 And ten, tomorrow, wipes the stain away.
 Addison tells story about the Neapolitans, who were much given to litigation. One of the popes made requisition upon the vice roy of Naples for 30, 900 head of swine. The viceroy replied that the swine could not be spared, but if his holiness had any use for 30 900 lawyers they were much at his service.

PATRICK A. COLLINS.

The democrats must be thoroughly in earnest to carry Connecticut this fall The republican harl and the cry of protection form a combination that it will be no easy matter to defeat. Waterbury naturally be longs to the democrats, and with a prop erly conducted canvass should roll up ma jority of several hundred for Cleveland and Thurman. The tariff question is the one above all others that must. be explained to the workingmen of this city. We would suggest that an effort be made to bring that gallant soldier, eloquent orator and enthusiastic democrat, Gen Patrick A. Col ins, before Waterbury audience to give his views on the issues of the campaign. There are few, if any men in the country whose voice would have such weight with people in this vicinity. His coming would infuse energy, vigor and spirit into the campaign.

Religions Bath in nrid-0cean.

An eclipse of the moon was to take place between and 8 in the morning, and the Maharajah, as devout Brahmin, was bound to go through certain religious rites in con sequence, one of the most important of which was thorough cold water bath. To give time for these proceedings the steamer had to be stopped for three hours during the night, and this delay was compensated by the maharajah (who would certainly need his proverbial wealth if this sort of thing were to happen often) with payment of 2,0J0 rupees, about $5 for every minute of detention.
 "He did the same thing once before" said the captain to me. "when he was making & voyage with us along the coast, and then he stopped the ship for three hours and paid 2,000 rupees for it just as he's going to do now. But that time he let down boat into the sea and had regular bath, which I'm not going to allow him to do this time, be- cause there's always some risk of his getting drowned, you know, and that wouldn't do at all, you know. shall give him the deck to himself tonight, and he can stand on the platform of the ladder with his two men and draw up the water with bucket and splash away as much as he likes"
 The maharajah good naturedly sssented to this modified programme, and scarcely had the splendor of the full moon begun to darken when a tremendous splashing of water announced that the sacred bath was in progress. The sudden stoppage of the vessel had awakened both passengers and officers, and some of the latter reached the upper deck just in time to witness a part of the ceremonial, which was by no means to their taste. After each of the four Hindoo prayers recited by the mahnrajah, he counted out and flung into the sea large bag of silver rupees, with several gold coins among them. The younger officers were naturally grieved at the sight of ''so much good money thrown away" and held debate next morning on the feasibility of stretching piece of canvas along the side to catch the falling cash in the event of the performance being repeated.
 Like most of his untraveled countrymen, the maharajah appeared to be very curious about foreign lands, more especially Amer ica, the unresting energy and movement of which seems never ending source of inter est to the apathetic orientals. -Burmah Cor. New York Times

DOES FREE LUMBER MEAN CHEAP
 LUMBER?

The late Senator Logan thought so, and so, once upon a time, did the lumber barons of the northwest. It was perfectly understood by these gentlemen that the tariff on lumber increased it's cost, as will be seen from the following circumstance:
 When the citizens of Chicago were be- ginning to rebuild their city after the by Senator Logan giving Chicago the ben etit-as he thought-of absolute free trade in all sorts of building material, including lumber. The city was ill distress her necessity was great, and it was felt that the government could afford to relieve her of the burden of tariff taxation on the articles she most needed. Did she get free lumber No, this would not do. Certain other gentlemen who were inter ested in having lumber dear, knew very we'll that to untax lumber would be to cheapen it, and that, though this would be blessing to the inhabitants of the stricken city, it would seriously cur tail dividends. So the lumber lords of
 
 Washington, and had the free lumber pro- vision of the list stricken out. Like the great republican party of to-day they were opposed to giving up ''any portion of our protective system." Chicago, nay every city in the country, might be burned to ashes-the more the merrier for them-but the tax on lumber must stand.
 "If," says MT J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska, free trade was good thing for Chicago after having been burned over only three or four days. or week, let me ask why it would not also be good thing for the settlement, for the civilizing and upbuilding of those prairies where I live, over which the fires have rolled every autumn for hundred centuries, until net @ single vestige of anything to build with is left on the face of the earth 2" PerhaI s the aforesaid lumber lords who answered the question for Chicago, can answer it fo T Mir Morton.

Dark Secret, have probably been heard from for the last time. Captain Murphy, of 8 New York pilot boat, caught sight of the tiny craft last Wednesday afternoon about 432 miles east from New York. He determined as ever, but disappointed at the slow progress he was making. A few hours afterwards Captain Murphy says the widest hurricane he ever saw came on, and he does not believe the Dark Sec, ct could have lived ten minutes in the noun tain waves. Captain Andrews goes on record as fool
