THE WATERBURY HOSPITAL

One of the first editorial utterance of our young DEMOCRAT was plea for the long projected hospital for our city and sur- rounding. Other advocates had been in the field before us; the local press had given to the question zesal and earnestness.
 Some of our citizens had backed their pro- fessions of good will with goodly sums from their purses; the general sentiment was with the object, not only as matter of charity to the poor, but of convenience to the well-to-do. The pathway was clear for us without any of the Instructions of pio- neer movement, and we entered with all the earnestness at our command in the solemn duty. We pointed out the re- proach that naturally attached to our city in the want of 8 reception hospital for emergency cases; how the poor in matters of accident were left to the ignorant care and insufficient accommodation of miser- able treatment in miserable homes; how the stranger within our gates, struck down by the hand of fate, had no appointed or certain place where fractured limb could be laid at rest; how sufferers from chronic disease had no adequate resort or resource forr elief. These were patent cases, and would suggest themselves to any thinker on the subject. But there were other claimants on the blessings and benefits of such an stitution-claimants not on charity, but for cash payment. Transient guests stay ing, let us say at our large hotels, are as

Letter Boxes Neatly Robbed.

A neat device for robbing the mail has been discovered in this city. A sheet of stiff paper was passed by the thieves through the opening of the street lamp boxes with both ends folded and gummed, so that one end adhered to the box, and all letters dropped in thereafter were caught on the other end and held. At night the paper with it's con tents was withdrawn and the letters ab- stracted, opened and rifled.

LIGHT AND AIRY.

MT. Blizzard, from the northwest, From the land of the Dakotas, From the land of the Missouri, From the wild and bowling prairies, Where the snow is piled like mountains, And the lakes are frozen solid Now and then comes strolling southward; Comes across the Mississippi, Makes bee line for Chicago, Paralyzes all he finds there; Then he scoots for Indiana Mir. Blizzard, of the northwest Scoots across the Hoosier counties, Filling all the air with snowfakes, Freezing every ear he touches, Till he strikes our Cincinnati Strikes her hard and strikes her often, Says the town is to his liking And he'd like to make visit. So he busters up our thoroughfares, Whistles shrilly down our alleys, And he has no kind of manners. For he goes where he's not wanted, Pushes into private places, Pinching ears and skipping faces, Blowing skirts with impoliteness, Taking liberties unheard of Does this saucy MT. Blizzard He should go back to the northwest, To the land of the Dakotas, To the land of the Missouri, We don't like him and don't want him, And request him to skedaddle.

open to accident and liable to the need of surgical and medical aid as the poorest amongst us. Men who have taken up res idence in our city, but without home Ill the beautiful signifcation of the word, have to depend for personal comforts on the care of hotel proprietors. They too are open to accident or sickness. Shenstonee of the olden times tells us how those who make the worlds dull round-wherever they have been, or what comforts some ex- perienced, will confess to having found their warmest welcome at an inn. Well, yes In health and strength and activity the compartments of hotels are enjoyable; the menu of the dining rooms is tempting to the epicure But then in sickness or Tn accident the conditions are reversed. An hotel, no matter how we'll ordered, was never designed for an hospital-the care of particular sufferer is inconsistent with the general attention to guest, and the afflicted man has to suffer the penal ser
 vitude of isolation in a room, perhaps IA by 20. This is where the mental torture, 
 in. No home, no loving eyes o1 tender hands of wife, mother, sister, or daughter to minister to ailing men. Friends and sympathizers in abundance, but no one to fill the place of the family circle.
 All these things we pointed out in brief as imperative reasons why the hospital should be proceeded with Alas! how little did we think that we were reserved for the first illustration of our argument or the first to feel the special want of Q home in which we could claim aid at a fair requital. An injury some weeks ago, in- tensifed by the late partial blizzard, cul- minated in a condition demanding active surgical and medical treatment-unable to move from the hotel to our office; and here | at this moment, on the broad of back, en- deavoring in some degree to perform edi- torial duties. Our friends will, perhaps, pardon short comings in view of the situa- tion. We shall, please God, be about and at active work again soon. We obtrude on private ailments to-day, simply in exem-
 plifcation of the dangers that may arise
 from delay in the hospital arrangements.
 Our hotel is not home for the sick, al
 though proprietor, housekeeper and assist
 ants do all in their power to relieve the
 monotony; the care and consideration of
 the proprietors of the DEMOCRAT commend
 our most grateful acknowledgements
 but all the kindness is not the kindness of
 the sick room at home. Outside friends in
 abundance come with their sympathy; but
 the ministering angels of home are not there Our doctor is faithful and jealous, l he is all that frst-class physician and surgeon should be, but he is not supposed, 1 though he does in degree to do the duties of hospital nurses and orderlies. Let us have the hospital for the homeless as we'll as for l the humblest of our citizens.

Running the Sewing Machine.

A complication of pipes and brackets
on one side of the room attracted my at
tention. In answer to my inquiries, Ada
told me that she had run the sewing ma
chine by water power for all the sewing
she had to do in her fitting up. This was
an unspeakable relief to me, as l feared
that she had overtaxed herself at the ma
chine Size protested that she had not,
and in proof of the statement she turned
u crank, adjusted belt, and showed me
that the needle of the machine would
pass with the greatest ease through the
thickest cloth and would sew about three
times faster than one could do by foot
power.
But what and where is the motive
| power?" asked.
"a tiny wheel under the kitchen sink,
she replied; and so it was-a small motol
! that one could almost put in a dish pan
A stream scarcely larger than larg,
knitting needle furnished the power, an'
a leather belt was carried to the uppe
room through casing. This belt wa
either attached to the large driving
wheel or run in groove in the whee
shaft, according as more or less speed wa
required. A lever, moved either by tn
foot or hand, started or stopped tn
wheel. This was one of the most sensibl
of the many improvements; for Ad
would sew, and with this arrangemer
she would be able to do so without overtal
ing her strength. Monthly.

Proving Upon Peoples Grief.

A nuisance, and one that should be
abated, is a practice that has grown up
among a class of people who prey upon
grief and afflictiOn. Every day these
ghouls who live upon the friends of the
dead use the mails to send hundreds of
their offensive missives to list of ad-
dresses gathered from the newspaper
death notices. These are nothing less
than advertisements of florists, embalm-
ers, tombstone cutters, dealers in mourn
ing goods, etc. One shrewd Philadelphian
generally sends black card with some
doggeref and the name Of the deceased
printed on it, for which he modestly asks
the bereaved family to send him $3.50,
