A Spring Announce ment.

If you are desirous of making yourselves and friends happy, get just as many tickets as possible on those elegant Shoninger Pianos offered as an induce ment to trade, by the Waterbury Boot and Shoe Co.,, Edward J. Finn, and Reed & Co. At the same time it is not best to really believe you are going to hold the lucky number until you are certain. Therefore do not delay purchasing but call at our store and see how low and on what easy terms the best known pianos ill Waterbury can be bought. Merchants desire the best and most popular piano in order to improve their trade. They cannot afford to patronize small dealers, that is the reason they buy the Shoninger. Gus toners are in like manner saved dollars by our method of reaching the purchaser from first hands only. Small dealers who are begging here, there and everywhere for pianos to sell on any terms and prices, paving twenty-five per cent for the priv ilege of doing business, cannot be ex- pected to successfully compete with man ufacturers. Beware of the agent who runs down his neighbors' goods. It is always positive proof that the article i'll question has merit If it had none no effort would be required to keep it down and no abuse l necessary So when an agent tells you the Shoninger is no good, just investigate | and see how soon we can prove that the agents has, to put it mild, departed iron l truth.

The Execution of Criminals.

Suppose all the irreclaimable convicts in London executed in silence, secretly, with no possibility of pain, would the announce ment of the fact create half the repugnance which the execution of one criminal does nowa Capital punishment is just; but some thing to make the judge and juryman reflect, to make him fear for his own responsibility, to make him search his conscience, in theo- logical phrase, is an indispensable check; and in abolishing pain, and the knowledge of de- tails, and personal action in executions, we, to the extent of human power, take that check away.
 It is foolish to assert that this would not be the case, or that men would be equally moved by the bare record of the number of deaths. Who is moved by the registrar generals weekly return, or the return of deaths in a convict prisona Do you suppose that Mary Tudor's martyrs, dying invisible, without pain, without report save that they were dead, would have shocked London into Protestantisms They would have passed, as even now convicts sentenced to labor for life pass, to their doom unheeded, except by the few who make their destinies study.-Lon don Spectator.

Advice to the Anglomaniac.

Theaverage Anglomaniac may survey him. self ill the glass with satisfaction as he con templates his Poole made suit, his Norfolk jacket, his covert coat, his Knickerbockers, his yarn stockings, his dog skin gloves, his blackthorn walking stick, his rimless eye glass, his white ''spats" and his gypsy set rings; and may listen with delight to tho sound of his own voice in conversation with a similarly anglicized countryman as he drawls forth his "London accentn-both may revel in the fools paradise of their imagi- nary and only too willing repatriation, to their hearts content, and fondly believe they are exactly 'slike Englishmen, you know" But never aa Englishman will you find who mistakes them for other than they are.

FRIDAY. JUNE 1. 1888.
National Democratic Convention.

The national democratic committee hay ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d day of February, 1888, has appointed Tuesday, the 9th day of June next at noon as the time chosen and the city of St Louis as the place of holding the national demo- cratic convention.
 Each state is entitled to representation therein equal to double the number of its senators and representatives in the con gress of the United States. The Demo- crats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision of the convention as to their admission. All Democratic conservative citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure, economi- cal and constitutional government, are cor dially invited to join in sending delegates to the convention.

The French Essentially Home Loving.

Yes, the French are essentially home lov- ing. And their morality, so often impugned by ignorant critics, who find it easier to re- peat idle nonsense than to study for them selves-their morality will bear favorable comparison with that of any English speak ing nation; of this am convinced from the depths of my soul. But we are happy, and care not jot what impression we make. You will never hear Frenchman ask a foreigner: "Now, what do you think of uss'' We never trouble to show our best side to the foreigner. This is what miseads completely so many outsiders In France, the vice that there is is on the surface for every one to see It is all open to every locker on; there is nothing hidden. What there is that you see: no slightest effort is made to hide defects In comes the Englishman the American, and forgetting the caerfully hidden vice which axists---a.'d u.itl' a HA''<sAa,aaAiH@h ory;,-- great towns, cries out upon the immor- ality of Pars.-~>-
 I will go so far as to say uils.. .. ln France @ there is not even so much vice as there ap- pears to be- Let me explain myself. Far from attempting to hide our faults, we, as matter of fact, often make show of those we have not. The Frenchman is the braggart of vice. Like the Anglomaniacs, represented by MT. Robson in that charming comedy, ssThe Henrietta" leach fellow" in France, 'twants every other fellow to believe that he is a devil of a fellow, but he isn't" The small jokes that Frenchman will go in for may be ridiculous in your eyes, and, worse than that, they may, and often do, earn him the reputation of a reprobate. But you, dear reader, when you get chance, look beneath that boasting exterior, look at the man in his family relations, follow him to his home ah! there comes the rub-his home is closed to you, and you cannot easily know what a devoted husband, what doting father, is this same man who is fond of posing in public as ''jolly dog.

ENERGY OF THE SUN.
Amount of Heat Which His Rays Gener
 ate-fechanical Power.

Amount of Heat Which His Rays Gener
 ate-Mechanical Power.
 The most satisfactory way of arriving at an idea of the enormous energy of the sun is by measuring the amount of heat which his rays are capable of generating; and further, by our knowledge of the relation which exists between heat and mechanical work, we are able at once to estimate the amount of work which the sun is capable of doing, and also the quantity of energy he must be losing year by year. By suitable arrangements we can cause a certain Quan- tity of his radiation to be absorbed by water or other substance, and note the rise of tenn perature which results, and as we know the mechanical equivalent of each degree of tenn perature ill water, for instance, it is only matter of calculation to arrive at a knowl- edge of the suns total energy.
 Like everything else connected with this wonderful body, figures give no adequate conception of his energy, and various illus trations have been used by different investi- gators. Thus, Herschel considered it in rela- tion to the quantity of ice which it would melt in given time, and states that the amount of heat which the earth receives when the suu is overhead would melt an inch thickness of ice in two hours and thirteen minutes. From this it can be calculated that if the body of the sun were entirely sur rounded by sheet of ice on it's surface of more than mile in thickness the suns heat would entirely melt this coating of ice in the same time-namely, two hours and thirteen minutes. Professor Young uses an even more striking illustration He says: 'sIf we could build up solid column of ice from the earth to the sun, two miles and quarter in diameter, spanning the inconceivable abyss of 93,O0O,OO0 miles, and if then the sun should concentrate his power upon it, it would dissolve and melt not in an hour, nor in minute, but in single second; one swing of the pendulum, and it would be water; seven more, and it would be dissipated in vapor."
 Of course, of this enormous quantity of heat the earth receives but very small frac- tioD. The remainder, except, of course, what the other planets receive, passes away into space, and is lost forever. so far as can be ascertained, to the solar system. If we esti- mate in mechanical power what we do re- ceive, we find this to be on each square foot of surface equivalent, on the average, to about fifty tons raised mile high yearly, or to one horse power continuously acting, to every thirty square feet of the earth's sur face It is by this enormous supply of energy that the whole world is kept alive and active. It keeps us warm and drives our steam en- zines and water wheels; it circulates our att mosphere, and brings us rain and snow in due season; it grows and nourishes our plants and animals, and, in a word, is the source of almost every earthly blessing.-The Scots man.

During yester- days examination John J.

He told them that the only way he knew was to put their contributions in an envelope, and he would see that it was properly de- livered Between $50 and $40 was raised in this way.

THE senatorial presidential candidates were subjected to considerable chaffing yesterday and congratulated with mock solemnity upon the improvement of their chances by the second withdrawal of MT Blaine MT Sherman looked more than usually happy, and MT Allison smiled softly in his own peculiar and taking way. While the fun was going on MT Hiscock looked very solemn and seemed to be deeply thinking It is said that when Thomas c. Platt was in Washington a few days ago he knew that Blaine was per manently out of the race and went there to confer with the leaders as to the course to be pursued by the New York delegates the end sought being to unite upon Mi Hiscock and endeavor to secure his nom ination at Chicago. The plan of the New York Blaine men to push Hiscock is con tingent, of course, upon Depew declining to be candidate. The Hiscock men now say they have secured the assistance O. Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania ane Connecticut, besides two or three wester1 states. Senator Sherman took occasion tt deny in most emphatic terms that he hat written to MT Blaine after the publicatio I of his Florence letter, suggesting to hin the propriety of making more emphatic declaration
