As soon as the train entered the territory Of
Connecticut Gov Buckley and Senator Hawley
came on board, and the Senator has been with
us continually ever since. He practically took
charge OF the party at Willamantic, when the
excursionists disembarked to inspect the famous
thread works-marvels of mechanical ingenuity
and cleanliness. He was in the advance at
South Manchester when the great silk mills Of
Cheney Bros. were reached. Close behind him
was ex-senator Davis who said: IF follow
you. Gen. Hawley, will be safe?"
"Oh, yes" promptly replied the republican
Senator; ''you will not go wrong if you follow
me politically and in every other way"
The West Virginia democrat laughed and said
something about not being in politics just at
this time.
The location of the world-renowned Cheney
mills is beautiful almost beyond description,
and the homes of the operatives employed are
models, but the most astonishing thing in con-
nection with the works is the fact that, al
though the present employees are the third gen.
Grafton directly connected with the mills, there
has never been strike nor even Disagree
ment between the capital and the labor. The
golden rule governs business relations and is q
complete success. Silk handkerchiefs-United
States fags-were the mementoes given the
delegates by Col Cheney. Glib.

 Reynolds found hmself in jail for
 debt. Hoping to gain pecuniary advantage, he intimated that Ham iIton had used the public funds for dishonest purposes, and to prove the assertion exposed some of Hamilton letters showing there had been mon ey transaction of some sort between the two. Hamilton, driven to des- peration by the fear that his good name would suffer in one direction, decided to himself tarnish it in an- other by giving to the public the story of his intrigue with Maria Reynolds. This he did, carefully writing the statement, in which he included many of the letters writ ten by Reynolds and his wife, and he published the whole in pamphlet form.
 The discriminating reader will not fail to mark the ideas of honor that. actuated the Hamilton of the last century and those that moved Hamilton of this. It is a highly interesting fact" says Parton in his life of Jefferson, that A. D. 1797, one of the foremost men of the United States, a person who valued himself upon his moral principle, and was accepted by powerful party at his own valuation in that particular should have felt it far baser thing to cheat men of their money than to despoil women of their honor" The younger Hamil conceived that honor required him to marry the mother of the child be believed to be his, even though he k the woman had been of loose moral character prior to his connec- tion with her.

No doubt much is gained on the score oflongevity from inheritance. Ancestors who have attained long life for many generations hand down the gift to their successors. But while tkis may be the greatest fortune which an ancestor can leave it may be dissipated like any other inheritance. No one can count up- on long life without reasonable conformity to the jaws of health. There are a few prodigies that sur vive who have never observed any laws. For one dissipated person who reaches extreme old age, there are a thousand who die in the prime of their years. Psychologists have argued, with a great deal of force, that the duration of human life should be 8 hundred years. But it is far short of it. So few round up the century that every instance at tracts special attention. The dream of perpetual youth is constantly re- peated. Dr. Holmes at eighty is as frisky as a kitten. He learned the art of carrying burdens lightly. Most people do not wear out. They worry themselves out of life. They are always old because they have carried so much dead weight. No doubt the cultivation of youthful feeling is of the arts of prolonging life. When people, through the indulgence of a morbid feeling, get the impression that they are too old for this world, it is pretty sure indication that they are losing their grip. The grace and beauty of age Is to keep Tn touch with the world, to know how its pulse beats from day to day. and to be alive to ali human interests and sympathies. Age in such a life never wholly crowds out the buoyancy of youth. The spring and elasticity survive. In most instances the long life has been a good life. The world has been better that the individual has lived in it. He has been looking more for the good than the evil things of the world. Grace and beauty have come to him with the fullness of years.-San Francisco Bulletin.
