Once upon lime there was farmer
named Robinson, who WAS much annoy
ed by the bad habit certain wolf had OF
eating his sheep, The farmer reasoned
with him, and even offered to pay for
having him sent 10 IA private asylum,
where they cured such bad habits. But
the wolf said he preferred 10 remain a
Save to the sheep appetite; for lie sus-
pected that the farmer iwho was of g
miscrly dispositionl might refuse to pay
the bills after he had become cured orhis
appetite fur sheep.
Farmer Robinson then tried to over.
come him by mcaus of traps, pitfalls,
poisoned meat, and other saares; bu.
the wolf was awary old beast, ard for a
long time the only way John Robinson
knew that lis enemy WAS sive MAS by
Inc death ofhis sheep. YoIl can mag.
inc his iny, then, when one morning he
came upon the wolf securely caught by
The tail, in trap. The farmerapproach-
cd the wolf and upbraidsd him. He
then raised his s!ic! to beat him to death.
But the wolf, WHO had borne all his
reproaches meesly, stopped him by an
imperious wave of his paw, and said,
"prithee let me say 3 word."
The wolf, as the discerning reader
doubtless notices, was a wolf Of the old
school, and used a certain stately couric-
sy even in addressing a far er about to
kill him. But since the narrator;s old
wolf English i. ,rilIe rusty, he will

oy the tail, in your trap; but with Que
backward spriug-about as backward as
:he spring ofISSS-I can be free. Il is
true my tail will be in yonr power, hut
your sheep will be in mine, and assure
you they shall suffer iorit. Now, though
my tail be an old one, am fond oft,
and am willing to restrain my love for
sheep somewhat if you will let mc go
tailfuly."
Worthy John Robinson was deeply
moved by the words Of the wolf, and
cogitated long, wondering what hard
terms he might propose without bringing
on backward spring At length he
said
Il will letyougo on condition that you
agree bercsforth TO eat no sheep Of

'But," exclaimed the wolf. sin that

Thereupon the farmer freed the VOLTS

Mountain Forests Prevent Floods.


 mountain forest has more functi ons than most people have considered. It covers tho hills with @ vast mat or net work of living root-fbres, and holds in place the ever-accum ulating mass of mold and decomposing vegetable matter, which absorbs and retains tho water of the rainfall and tho melting snows. Such forest Is great sponge, which receives all the water that falls on the mountains, and allows 1t to escape gradually, so as to maintain the steady fl ow of the rivers which 1t feeds.
 A forest Is thus @ natural reservoir for the storage and distribution of the water which falls upon 1t; and it is far more efficient, as we'll as far more economical, than any system of artificial storage res ervoirs that can be substituted for 1t. If the forest Is removed, this mighty sponge Is destroyed, aud there is then nothing to perform its function of holding back the water, which will rush down in over- whelming floods and torrents. The first thing to be noted is that tho water will thus all run away at once. at a time when but little of it Is wanted, and there will be little or none of it left for the season when 1t Is most needed. The rivers which have been fed by the mountain springs win soon be dry . great part eS the yea-.-Century.

THE Middletown Herald says "it is noticeable that all of the gentlemen who were in favor of the Hotchkiss- Henney secret ballot bill were gentleman who have clean political records. This can not be said of the prominent opponents of the bill." What heresy is this :! Nor gan G. Bulkeley and Lynde Harrison not have clean political records Why, we had thought they were canoinzed monuments of political impeccability. The Herald should have a care, else it will be read out of the fold of the truly orthodox,

ALLUDING to the remarks of the New
 Haven Palladium in reference to the appointment of Internal Revenue Col lector Hutchinson the Meriden Republi-
 can says: "A newspaper that deals out praise or blame at the beck of party manager must not expect his views to have any weight" The Palladium is unfortunate in it's associations. Its editorial opinions have generally been suspected of being dictated from outside. And it ispretty generally understood that its outside editor is not shedding many tears over the disappointment under which the Republican seems to be labor ing in the matter of Hutchinson's luck.

But when the fire-cracker snaps and sizzlea and the rockets red glare illu- mines the sky look out for us, for Now York is coming too. About July will mark the beginning of tho real exodus from tho city this year and the actual opening of the summer season.
 Of course VIC are not entirely dead, only sleeping.
 As q diversion, for example, we have base ball and gang of men arc at work trying to fit up the Giants now grounds for use July 8. The cut send hero with shows the location of these grounds.
 Are we not admirers of our own great ness? Sec ball game. notice the thun- derous applause for every fortunate move of the Giants, then judge.
 Nowhere in the country, by the way, Is the game of base ball seen to better advantage than it is in Brooklyn. Clubs which play very indifferent games else where seem to brace up when they come to Brooklyn. It is developing into something like a local base ball tradition that MT. Byrnc'S team Is certain to have tho LOuisvilleS, demOralizcd aS they are, seem !o fail into the habit of acquiring new energy as soon as they cross the East rlver.
 It is not difficult to account for the stimulus which foreign nin"S appear to receive in the City of Churches. This Is what President Byrne had to say about the matter recently:
 "Br. oklyn audiences are so ominently fair and impartial in their applause that we get no more encouragement than our antagonists. This is not tho casc else whrro. In other cities local feelng al- WAYS runs strongly against the visiting nine. or course. this has discouraging effect. giving tho home team very marked advantage"
 The reccnt game with tho St. Louis club was well worth witnessing It was full of brilliant plays and would have
 unquc stionably ended in victory for Brooklyn but for single huff. It is not
 of:en that Darby O'Brien is to be credited | with defeat, but on this occasion, at a critical moment. the ball slipped through hi. h;nds. This happened at Q time | when the game was virtually lost by St.
 Louis. and it only shows that tho cham pious play not only skiilfuiiy. but with OK l crli.'nt fortune on their side. 1t should | be said of O'Brien, however, that he
 rureiy makes an error, that he Is ono ol | muss reliable players on the team, and 1 that the brilliant work that he almost in variabiy does should not be forgotten l even whom a chance to abuse him Is af i forded.

 NEW YORK, June 20.
 With the death of this miserable June, its great fatalities, variable weather and unpleasureablo characteristics generally, New Workers hope to find measures of enjoyment that will make amends for the unusual traits of the early days of sum- mer. Excursions, clam-bakes, concerts on the beaches, fishing and picnic par ties, days or weeks at mountain, farm, shore or other resorts--all these are for the New Yorker and that he will find them can assure you.
 All these things we can find now, but there ia something in the very air that casts pail on enjoyment.
 June of 1889 has been Q month of dis astcr to begin with. Wo are very busy people-so busy that many say we are hcartless-all the same every tentacle of the metropolitan octopus quivers when flood. fire or other disaster strikes the country.

THE SECRET BALLOT LAW.

THE SECRET BALLOT LAW.
 Elsewhere ill these columns will be found the full text of the secret ballot law passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Bulkeley, and under which all elections occurring in this state after next November will be conducted. The more closely the bill is studied the more apparent does it become that it is full of imperfections and that it cannot be ex- pected to serve any other purpose than to lead to the enactment of a more per feet law by the next legislature.
 Since the passage and signing of the bill number of flaws have been picked by editors and others who have looked into its provisions. The Bridgeport Farmer has been especially severe in showing up its defects. pointing out a number of possibilities for the evasion of it's requirements, such, for instance, as the ease with which the endorsements on the envelopes may be counterfeited or private marks put on to reveal how certain men vote, and even the possi- bility of counterfeiting the official enve- lspes themselves by saving for a future election those that have not been used. But there is another and more serious defect in the bill which we have not seen alluded to in the state press, and one which may open the door to serious frauds. As we read the bill, all the various ballots, such as national, state, town and city, cast by any one elector are to be enclosed in a single envelope which is to be deposited in single bal lot box. What would there be, there fore, to prevent voter casting ballot for city officers at a city and town cleo ton who, by reason of his place of residence, may be qualified to vote for town officials but not for those on the city ticket? It does not seem to us that the bill is explicit on this point. Take the town and city election in Wa terbury, for instance. In our wards there are a number of voters entitled to cast ballot for town officers who have no right at all to vote for city officers Would there be anything to prevent these men, if they felt so disposed, from fraudulently enclosing a city ballot with the town ballot they put in their envelopes Is there anything in the bill in the shape in which it has been passed, to prevent this fraud It certainly does not appear to us that there is. And it is just possible that the men who are re- sponsible for the law left this door open in order to bring the law into contempt and make it appear that the present methods of voting cannot be improved upon.
 There is certainly something here for those who aspire to city offices to ponder over. And perhaps at the first city cleo tion that takes place under the opera tion of the law they may have reason to deplore the haste with which the bill was rushed through in the closing hours of an unprecedentedly long session. At any rate our readers will all find profit if not pleasure in studying the provisions and the possibilities of the secret ballot law.

quarters at the Brighton hotel arc coaiiy furnished, and in them it possesses what no other wOman's club In New York or Brooklyn has yet aspired to, a rendex- vOus of it's own. Some of the best known women in tho two cities have placed their names on it's rolls, and 1t looks now as if the outcome of the project would be the setting asido of one nearby seaside resort for the pleasure of women and children. With private cars. club par lors, babies nurseries and .play-rooms, and with tho prohibition of smoking in the music pavilion, except in 0 little pen ra.led of for men in the gallery, Mrs. Holloway and tho ladies have Brighton Beach pretty much in their own hands.
 Already some women of wealth who were packing their Saratogas have laid asids that pleasing occupation to see if tho Seidl society won't make things just as pleasant at home. Social meetings, receptions and gatherings of wolnen's organizations Of all kinds are promised throughout the summer.
 My attention has been called to the number nf summer resorts on the Jersey coast hat get most of the patronage that supports them from this city. Talk of the disadvan' ages of Jersey after glancing Tt the familiar names to be seen on the map!
 But New Jersey does not furnish all of our summer resorts by any meens.
 Long Island and the coast north of us will be full of pleasure seekers. So will the Hudson river county and the Adiron- dacks, tributary Pennsylvania counties and those of Connecticut and Massachu- Setts.
 Then are those who say that New York itself Is first-class summer resort Henry Wattcrson among them. The Louisville editor and his family are here too, and thousands of others who believe as he does.
 The Frederick w. vanderbilts are sud. denly forging to the front in the family of millionaires.
 The world has not heard 8 great deal of them, it's attention being for the most part absorbed with the doings of Corne- lius and Willie K, but now their great mansion at Newport, one of our tribu- taries, of course, which Is said to be the handsomest residence in that place o. palaces, Is just about to be opened and the series of entertainments which they will inaugurate this summer will make the world realize that they, too, are very splendid and very rich.
 The house stands at the end of Belle vue avenue and Is built on foundation of rock and granite of @ peculiar gray tinge which gives 1t the appearance ol being very old. A touch of color is given 1t by the red sandstone trimmings | and it has balconies on every story. Il is 200 feet broad and 80 feet deep and is | fitted throughout in old oak. It has ( | magnificent view and Is set in large lawn of some ten acres or so which bor ders the cliff for 1.5OO feet.
