Origin of a Popular Song,

The popular ballad, "Listen to the Mock. Ing Bird, was written and first published in 1858, by Septimus Winner, of Philadelphia, under the nom de plume of "Alice Flaw thorne," his mothers maiden name. It was suggested incidentally by listening to col ored man, Dick Milburn, known as Whist ling D1ck," who wandered about the city whistling in imitation of mocktng bird at the same time strunming an accompaniment upon the guitar. Struck by bis remarkable performance as warbler MT. W. said to him one day, half in jest, "Dick, I'll write you a song for your mockng bird" The compass of the colored mans voice was hardly an octave, and, as will be observed, the melody was made very simple, so as not to be beyond his reach. The words, "Iisten to the Mocking Bird,n which ran higher. were to be spoken by him, not sung, except where they came within his compass, fol- lowed by the whistler's marvellous imitation of the bird.
 The man was very good natured fellow but of so little intellectual capacity that though he came to MT. Winner's music store night after night to learn the words of the song, he was never able to master more than one verso of 1t. Such, however, was his sense of the comic and such his facility in i'm. provising lines to the music, suggesting ridi- culous fancies to attract the crowd, that his "Mocdng Bird" soon added greatly to Dicks local reputation. The song was published in ballad form, and at once became very popular. and such Is its hold upon the public fancy that although 1t has been sung and whistled and played the country over for an average life time, 1t still retains Its place as 8 song of na, tlonal reputation.-Philadelph Record.

Good Advice,

 First Lady-"Going to buy a piano. are you?'
 Second Lady-"Yes, and can hardly make up my mind which kind to get. .,
 First Lady-'Well, if you listen to those piano men they will make YOU believe anything, but my experience has been that If you want piano for actual use and not for show only, ,the Shonin- ger piano is the best. I have had my Shoninger piano in use for five years and 1t is as good as new to-day. My cousin, Mrs Ford, thought she had splendid high-priced piano, but the tone got SO wlry that she sent it to an auction room and bought a Shoninger instead I could tell you of ever so many more who have bought Shoninger's pianos, and if you get one you will never want to change it."
 Second Lady-"I have heard the Shoninger pianos very highly spoken of before. I think will take your advice. By the way, where is their warerooms.

OVER THE NEW ROAD.
Through Train From the Coal
 Fields to Waterbury

General Freight Agent Pond of the Meriden, Waterbury and Connecticut River Railroad company went over to Middletown Saturday and had chat with the Herald folks and as a result that paper says: The Meriden, Water bury and Connecticut River railroad company have arranged to load cars at the coal fields in Pennsylvania and bring them through direct to Waterbury, Meriden, Cromwell and Middletown with out change of cars, thus saving a great loss. This new inlet of coal will be ap- preciated by the manufacturers as there Is great waste when coal is unloaded and loaded in transit. The reporter asked Major Pond if the Consolidated railroad was not trying to hem his road in. The major smiled and said, Certainly. but they cannot do it, for within a short time line will be built from near Meri- den to tidewater, so that manufacturers in Waterbury, Meriden, New Britain, Cromwell and Middletown will have the benefits of water freights at all seasons of the year without passing over the Consolidated company's road. Whether a road would be built from New Britain to New Haven to connect with the Meri- den, Waterbury and Connecticut River road the major would not say, but it is probably the intention of the company. We are glad to know that this healthy little railroad has decided to continue going 1t alone in the future as it has in the past.'

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Representative O'Neill at Work Upon
 Several Important Matters


 HARTFORD, JAN 22.-Both houses of the general assembly convened at 1 o'clock this afternoon The contested election case in the 18th district was re- ferred to the senate committee on con- tested elections. William B. Hubbell. democrat, alleges that there is miscount of thirty-six votes in Westport whereby he beats Senator Catlin. The mistake is said to have arisen from a republican teller failing to tally package of dem ocratic votes handed him by one of the counters. The case is pending in the courts.
 The reference of the resolution arrang- ing the contemplated changes in the charter of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company was made to the committee on interpretations by mistake in the senate the other day Senator Cleveland asked that the action be reconSidered and the document go to the committee on railroads.
 In addition to the bill asking for a division of the fourth ward in Water bury, Mir O'Neill will also ask for a division of the third ward, the Nauga- tuck river to be the dividing line
 Another bill of immediate interest to Waterbury, prepared by Representative ONeill is to confer criminal jurisdiction
  try all cases coming from the police court by appeal.
 What he calls collateral inheritance act is another important measure that MT O'Neill will advocate. The bill. which contains seventeen sections, pro- vides for laying a tax of five per cent upon all property which shall pass by will or by the intestate laws of the state, or by deed, grant, sale or gift, intended to take effect after the death of the grantor to any person other than legal heir, or for some strictly public charitable purpose. A judge of each probate dis trict shall as often as once in six months render to the state treasurer statement of the property within the jurisdiction of his court that has become subject to said tax during such period.
 The busy Waterbury representative has number of other tax bills which will come later, his idea being to have the towns relieved from the burden of state tax.

Now that the league has taken such summary action in regard to two players it might be we'll for its directors to sift the whole thing; for there has been lots of crooked work done this win ter and 1t is not fair to make two play CTS suffer while there may be others equally guilty of bribe-taking, if indeed, not more SON.

Tho French Soldiers Cat.

During the Crimean war q little cat,
reared In his mothers cottage, followed O
French soldier when he left his native
village. The lads heart chung to this
small dumb member OF his family, and
he gave pussy seat on his knapsAck by
day on the march aud q corner of hts
couch at night. She took her meals on her
masters knee, and was general pet In
the company.
On the morn ing that his regiment was
fret ordered into action, thej soldier babe
bis cat farewell and left her In charge
OF q sick comrade. He had marched
about mile from the camp, when what
was his surprise to see Miss Puss run
ming beside him. He lifted her up on her
usual seat, and soon the engagement
commenced. Twice did the soldier fall,
but the cat chung fast hold. At last a
severe wound stretched him bleeding on
the field. No sooner did the pussy catch
sight of the blood flowing from her mas
ter than she seated herself upon his body
aud began to lick his wound in the most
assiduous manner. Thus she remained
for some hours, till the surgeon came to
the young lad and had hun carried OIL TO
the tent OF the wounded. When he re-
covered CONSCIOUSNESS his first question
was. shall livep ''Yes, my good iel-
low" was the surgeons answer, thanks
to your little cat; for II she had not used
her tongue so lntelligently, you would
have been too exhausted by loss Of blood
to recover"
You may be sure that pussy was well
cared for, and contrary to all regulations,
she was allowed to accompany the young
solGi5r to the hospital, where she was
RECALLED with the choicest morsels from lis
plate, and became very distinguished

Mr.. Williams Kuhn, of Clermont- Fer
rand, France, has patented process by
means of which, II il claimed, beer In
casks can be preserved In hot climates
against decomposition or alteration. The
discovery by Pastenr OF The ferment that
alone will produce normal fermentation
has enabled the brewer, by great care, to
avoid all nOxious fermentation aud eilmi-
nate the germs likely to cause alterations
in the beer at moderate temperatures. In
hot climates, however, even the purest
ferment continues its work and trans
forms all the saccharine elements in the
beer into alcohol and carbonic acid gas,
depriving the liquid of its distinctive tas te
aud smell and destroying most of its
value as beverage. Mr.. Kuhn claims
to have succeeded in arresting this fer
mentatiou by his process, and II his re-
suits sutstantiate this claim his invention
will be OF great importance to brewers all
over the country.

A recent meeting Of the French Ag-
rlcultural Society, M. Guerin OF Grand
villes (Vosges), read paper on n new
method OF preserving milk. He showed
that, when frozen, milk could be trans
ported with the greatest ease, and that
alter being kept for days aud weeks, and
then simply 'hawed out, It retained all
the characteristics Of fresh milk. The
paper dealt fret with the method Of freez-
Ing, which could be carried out in the
ordinary ice machines II done on sufli-
GENTLY large scale, and then described
the experiments made to ascertain the
precise temperature at which the best re-
suits might be expected. "In cooking,
yield OF cream, and every other respect
the frozen corresponds with quite new
milk, and on the fourth day the cream Is
still excellent. Butter and cheese can be
prepared from It quite as well as from
new milk"

DANGEROUS USE OF STRONG PgRG,TlYEs.

Most pills, purgatives and Bitter
Waters, which act quickly upon the
bowels, irrita'e aud often destroy the
mucous coats OF the stomach and bowels.
Indeed their cathartlc action is directly
caused by the irritation of the bowels,
which they produce. Their action should
he soothing ord stimulating instead OF
Irritating. A continued use of such RENE.
dies produces chronic Inflammation OF the
omach and bowels. This often ends in
dangerous disease. The use OF the genn-
Inc imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is
highly recommended as an aperient,
laxative and diuretic, because its action
is due solely to its solvent and stimu-
lating properties, II soothes and allays
Inflammation, and is therefore much
preferable to all strong purgatiVes and
Bitter Waters.
