Chauncy Depew in his address to
thsl Yale College students the
other day told them that the
reason the class OF '53 was famous,
was due to the fact that half of its
members had gone into journalism
and praised the other half. There
msy be more truth than Jest in
that statement. The men who
have been "made" by the press
are almpS' countless, but the men
who have put so many upon the
high road to fame are, in the main,
still scribbling along in dingy

 A REMARKABLE feat was lately completed by Julius G. Ellinger, a cooper of Allegan, Mich., making 1O, 900 barrels in forty weeks, working eight hours per day, which beats all records of barrel-making in the United States. Every stave, head, hoop and nail must be handled separately, and some slaves from one to three times. In making 10000 barrels it takes 170,000 slaves, 55 ,00C pieces of heading, 6OOO0 hoops and 180, ,0OC nails. It would require ten box cars tc carry the timber and fifty to carry the fin. ished barrels.
 AN extraordinary diving feat has been accomplished at Blackpool North Pier.

IF the government of the United States made appropriations for Con- necticut alone, there would never be a deficiency in the treasury. In all the estimates in course of preparation and which will be submitted to congress to serve as the basis of appropriations for the next fiscal year, there is hardly any thing for the state in the way of public works. One item for Connecticut, how ever, will be included in the annual estimates, that of S75,00O for the com pletion of the postoffice building at Bridgeport. The estimates lthis year will contain comparatively few recom- mendations for new public buildings, and this fact, no doubt, will be of interest to many Connecticut cities that desire such favors. Several Connecticut cities will urge their claims to legisla- tive favor for public buildings, among the most prominent being Waterbury and New London.

It is one of the ballots for Silver Bow county, a famous county now, because of the republican fame for stealing" it, and with it the legislature, and two United States senators, regardless of the actual votes. This ballot is a yard long lacking just two inches-and looks to be yard and half; and it is double columned, at that. Every name to be voted for is marked in pencil with a check, or X mark. Names of candidates of both parties are on the ballot the designation, democrat, republican, being printed against each one.

THAT OLD SWEETHEART OF
 MINE

AS one who cons at evening OCT an album all
 alone And muses on the faces of tho friends that he
 has known, So turn tho leaves of fancy till in shadowy
 design find the smiling features of an old sweetheart of minc The lamplght seems to glimmer with flicker , of surprise As turn it low to rest of the dazzle in my | eyes, And light my pipe in silence, save sigh that seems to yoke Its fate with my tobacco and to vanish in the
 smoke. Iris fragrant retrospect:on--for the loving 1 thoughts that start Into being are like perfumes from tho blossoms
 of the heart; And to dream the old dreams over is a luxury
 divine, When my truant fancy wanders with that old
 sweetheart of mine. Though I hear, beneath my study, like a flut-
 tering of wings, The voices of my children and the mother as
 she sings, feel no tw,nge of conscience to deny me any
 dream. In fact, to speak in earnest, believe it adds
 charm To spice the good trihe with little dust of For find an extra flavor in memory's mellow
 vine That makes me drink the deeper to that old
 sweetheart of mine. face of lily beauty and form of airy grace Float out of my tobacco as the genii from the
 vase;
 1Fo .of
 azure eyes As glowing as the summer and as tender as the skies. checkered dress She wore when first kissed her and she an- swered the caresS With tho written declaration that, |" as surely as the vine Grew round the stump, she loved me'-that old sweetheart of mine. And again feel the pressure of her slender lit tie hand As we used to talk together of the future we had planned When I should be poet and with nothing else to do | But to write the tender verses that she set the | music to.
 When we should live together in a cozy little cot
 did in nest of roses, with a tiny garden spot Where the vines were ever fruitful and the 1 weather ever fine, And tho birds were ever singing for that old | sweetheart of mine. l When should be her lover forever and a day | And she my faithful sweetheart Il the golden | hair was gray;
 And We should be so happy that when either's | lips were dumb They should not smile in Heaven till the oth l CT $ kiss had come. | But, ah! my dream is broken by a step upon tht stair, And the door is softly opened, and-my wife i | standing there,
 Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions resign To meet the living presence of that old sweet heart of mine. l -,IQflaes IVhitco3a5 Riley.

 Of Whitcornb Rilcy's early life writer ill the Pittsburgh DSpd,eh says:
 II was Tanning a weekly paper in a small Northern Indiana town at the time 1 first met the poet Riley. You know how IEc inhabitants of d small place go wild over any thing of a freakish nature, and the reigE:ng sensation just then was the work of d bind sgn-painlcr. A party of advertising fal1irs had just struck the vii agc, who decorated the dead walls and fences in the most gaudy way imaginable, the finishing ard artistic touches being done by member of the party, who was known as the 'oniy blind sign-painter on c.rth.' Business with them was ushing, every merchant in town coming around and wanting work done, for when the blind sign painter, who was none other than Rlt-y. fe t h-s way up a ladder and daslssd off an artistic sign, half the inhab- -tants of the place tlrred out to witness tho feat.
 "The scheme of the fakirs, winch was an original onc and ca.culated 10 catch tho mi ,itude, all depended on the histrlonic ability of the Hoosicr poet. He had large, frank gray eyes, and the vision of an cage. When the surface Was selected he WIS brought out and led to the foot of the lad der. A part of his business was to go up step, carefully feeling his way, then t,rn.ng, stare into vacancy in an am less moony sort of style, and bring to bear on the crowd a face fall of pain and pathos. This rarely failed to draw expressions of >ympathy. and, what was more to the point, additional advertis ng contracts. Slowly climbing the ladder, he fingered the surface, measuring carefully with his hands the di- mansions of the letters, and then seizing tho pru-h, the sign was rceled off much moro rapidly than the average painter could oft. ''Another cat,hing oiI of b siness' was 10 stumble on coming down, whcn one Of the party gave h,m a showing below, with an imprecation and a tai order to be more careful.
