Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-04

WE have received many congratula- tions on the stand we have taken in re- gard to policy playing, which has been productive of the prohibitory ordinance passed by the court of common council on Monday evening. Nothing but the most unqualified approval of our cru sade is heard, and there is universal sat isfaction among the Iaw-abiding and order-loving portion of the community that the policy Kings will be compelled, if they wish toremain in Waterbury, to earn their living in an honorable and de- cent way. Chief Egan and his men will see that the poor fools who squander their money at policy are protected from the sharks that wax fat from their folly Waterbury will no longer be compelled to see the finger of scorn pointed at her for feathering the nest of skin gamblers and idle vagabonds.

Supcrstitions of Negroes.

Burn old shoes and the snakes will squirm away from that place.
 Shoes must never be put on a shelf higher than the head of the wearer.
 10 keep shoes, even after they arc past wearing, will keep good luck about a place.
 If you stub the right toe you will be welcomed; if you unfortunately stub the left you may know that you aren't wanted.
 Burnt shoe soles and feathers are good to cure cold in the head, say old aunt ies, and parched shoe soles and hogs hoofs is Q good mixture also for coughs.
 The older dusky maids believe that when their shoes come united and keep coming united it is a true sign that their sweethearts are talking and thinking about them.
 Good luck to the child who draws on her stocking wrong side out. If she takes it off and rights 1t before 12 o'clock she may feel assured of getting soon a nice present.
 A more absurd fancy is to believe that when any one accidentally spits on the old shoe child wears this gives assur- ance that the child will soon have brand new footgear.-Exchange

Exchanged Wives for Better or Worse.

In Washington county two married couples were living only short distance apart. and by neighborly intercourse each man became enamored of the others wife, while the ladies soon learned to love the others husband, and thus became estranged from their first love. When matters took this shape it came to be noticeable by all concerned, and many evenings passed while each husband was at the others house pour ing out his tale of love and fidelity into the willing ears of the listeners. Finally one of the husbands, a little bolder than the other, proposed an exchange. This was met with gladness by all the parties interested, and the proposing party con sented to the trade On condition that the other would allow him S5 in cash and seven bushels of Quaker peas. This was readily consented to, and tho trade was made. each wife going to the others home, carrying with her the children, and are now living in the sweetest do mestic felicity They will try to have the courts make the trade legal.-At- ;anta Chronicle.

side and there was no dividing political line on the question.
 Taken altogether the election in Rhode Island is cheering to the democrats. The large vote that was expected to materia- ize of those who had been enfranchised by the abolition of unjust property quail itications was not forthcoming, but as this vote is supposed to be very largely democratic and may be expected to come out in the next national election the great showing made yesterday for the democratic ticket is encouraging and suggestive. Rhode Island is likely to give its electoral vote to the democratic national ticket in 1892.

THE senate showed its appreciation of ''that fellow with pull on Wall street, by making Ingalls, permanent president of the senate, to preside over that body when Morton is absent. It may be pre- stunned that this is a hint to Morton to stick to Wall street as much as possible and keep away from place which he is hardly fitted to adorn. The republican senate can hardly be said to have ''slop- ped over' in its appreciation of it's presi- dent and vice president.

''So far as has been seen. says the Hartford Post, ''the Boston Transcript is the only paper outside of New York that would like to see Postmaster Pearson re- appointed. Perhaps the Post aas no mugwump or civil service reform papers on its exchange list. If it has it had better scan them little closer. Then it may realize that the Transcript is not the only friend that Pearson has outside of New York.

RHODE ISLANDS ELECTION.

Unusual interest centered about the state election in Rhode Island yesterday as it was the first held under the new constitution which removed certain property qualifications that have hither- to discriminated against those of foreign birth. Again public interest was stimu- lated by the question of resubmitting the prohibition amendment to the peo- pie. The presence of four tickets added complications to the situation which rendered very uncertain any predictions on the result.
 It seems, however, from the meagre returns in at this writing, that, as was expected, there is no election by the peo- pie, which will throw it into the legisla- ture. The same unjust and antiquated system of majority elections that dis graces Connecticut prevails in Rhode Island, and as consequence Mir Davis, the democratic candidate for governor, though he has probably received plu- raity of the votes cast, will not be al- lowed to enjoy his victory. The legis- lature appears to be republican, and re- publlcans are not in the habit of ratify- ing the peoples choice when they have the strength to defeat it in the legisla- ture.
 The prohibitory amendment will be resubmitted to the people, as most of the members of the legislature, democratic as well as republicans, are pledged to that. It is not difficult, therefore, to con- lecture it's fate when it shall have been resubmitted to the popular vote. Con. stitutional prohibition has been failure in Rhode Island, as it has elsewhere, and the people don't want any more of it Liquor has been sold in Rhode Island nearly if not quite as plentifully as before prohibition was imposed by the constitution, while the state lost the revenues that used to come from the licenses paid to dealers. Constitutions prohibition was very much like putting 8 premium on free rum, and it is not to be wondered at that the people tired oi such course. There is little surprise at the success of the i-prohibitionists for they had reason and right on thei,

Yet he, too, had his economies,
which We resent. | do not mean his
not telling us what it wa that Roger
Chillingworth saw on Arthur Dim
mesdale's bare breast. To leave that
vague is quite Legitimate. But what
had Miriam and the specter of the Cat
acombs donel Who was the specter9
What did he wantl To have told all
this would have been better than to
gil the novel with padding about
Rome, sculpture, the ethics of art and
matter approved of by Mr.. Horsley
and the British matron. As the silly
saying runs, the people has n right
TO know" about Miriam and her ghost
ly foe. But the MARBLE Faun' is
not of Hawthorne's best period, beauti-
full as are a hundred passages in the
tale.
Beautiful passages are as common in
his prose as gold in the richest quartz.
How excellent are his words on the
first faint but certain breath of
autumn in the air, felt perhaps, early
in July: And then came autumn,
with his immense burthen of apples,
dropping them continually from his
overladcn shoulders as he trudged
along" Keats might have written so
OF autumn in the orchards-if Keats
had been writing prose.
There are geniuses more sunny,
large and glad than Hawthornes, none
more original, more surefooted, in his

must have been. Luckily, the fashion
does not exist nowadays. Fortunate

alasl can remember only work and
responsibility from n very tender age.
No games, no romps, no toys-noth-

to play with ii, for we only met at
night, when it shaded my pillow; and
as i looked into its face, before / fell
asleep after my work, l often wished l
could play with it sometimes. When
other children We're cozily tucked up
in bed, dreaming of their sunny lives,
their limbs tired only by the romps
and pleasures of the day, l was trudging
by my fathers side in all weather TO
the theatre, where / had to play some
body clsc's child, or to recite one of
the many character sketches which my
father had written for me. l was, Of
course, much petted by the public; but
oh, the work. My poor little body was
often sadly tired. l was reused many
a time from sound sleep to go upon
the stage, and sometimes, in my hall
wakefulness, would begin the wrong
recitation. At the age of 8 l recited
Collins "Ode to the Passions" nc
companied by special music. My poor
little arms and legs were so red from
the cold that / represented a tricolor.
