A DKSTUR B FER

It is some time since the quiet of that
 very quiet body the board of education has
 been disturbed. So peaceful has it been
 that the members have had much reason to
 congratulate themselves and each other.
 No ill bred and troublesome reformers have
 been rising up and demanding reform. The
 genius who directs the board has done it so
 smoothly that the board has not realized
 that it has been directed. And all has been
 thoroughly "chummy" and harmonious. It
 was really too beautiful to last, and it is
 therefore not surprising that what some of
 the smooth-tongued managers of education
 in this city might call Gan element of dis
 cord" has appeared. MT. Leigh's remarks
 at the meeting of the board on Friday eve-
 ming rudely shattered tine peace that is
 thought so desirable by most of his fellow
 members. It was audaeious in him to make
 them, and he did not show that regard for
 harmony which is considered so essential by
 those members of the board who have been
 in office long enough to learn that nothing is
 so disagreeable as anything that looks like
 "a fuss"
 MT. Leigh objects, and objects vigorously,
 to being kept in ignorance of what is done by the committees of the board, and he de- clares that as member of the finance con- mittee he will not approve bills for junket- ing triss and other performances not author ized by the full board. His attitude is ex- plained by the fact that he is new member, and does not yet know how hard it is for the school system of this city to be run openly and in business way. He does not know that the members of the board who have been there before him have found that 1 it makes less trouble to do things quietly, and even secretly. It is much easier to dc ! things if all the committees respect eact 1 others peace and secrecy and do not inter | fere with each other. If three or four mem l bers of the board want to go away and in spect other schools so as to keep up with the ''new methods" whose business is its The cost is nothing-that is, nothing but few l hundred dollars or so, and the taxpay ert pay their school taxes cheerfully. Why l then, should member of the board disturb l any plan or planners of such an expedition | by rudely asserting that he ought to know ! something about it. And didn't the super 1 intendent show him more courtesy than he ! deserved when he offered to let hin go ir | his (the uperlntendents) placea And may 1 not Mir. Leigh himself want to go some where sometime at the public expenses If he should happen to he might find that his interference in this matter might return to plague him.
 It is evident that MT. Leigh is out of place as member of the board of education. He must learn to keep still and to hush when he is told to. How can the school system be managed and improved if all the mem- bers of the board must know what goes on' And how can harmony be maintained and trouble avoided if the taxpayers are let into the secrets of the committeess Go to, Mir. Leigh, and see how the older members of the board work it.

COMMUNICATION.

A Correction. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In the full and complimentary report of my lecture, on Spanish painting in your paper of last Saturday, there were one or two misapprehensions which you will allow me to correct Murillo was not intended to be represented as the greatest painter in the world, but that, in the estimation of the speaker, he was the greatest religious pain- ter.
 The story concerning Velasquez and the king who painted the crop of Santiago on the breast of his portrait, was not given at length in the lecture, but it was stated that the crops was probably added afterwards by the kings order.
 These slight corrections do not diminish my grateful sense of the evident pains to render what was said very faithfully and completely. J. M. HoPPIN.

IfIhad known of ths Cuticura Remedies twenty eight years agoit would have saved me Ss00-two hundred dohars- and an immense amount of suffer-

The scales would drep off of me all the time and my suffering was endless and without relief. One thousand dollars would not tempt me to have this disease over again am poor man. but feel rich to be relieved of what some of the doctors said as leprosy, some ringworm, psoriasis, etc. took and ...... Sarsaparillas over one year and half, but cure. I cannot praise the Cuticura Reme- dies too much. They have made my skin as clear and free from scales 6 baby's All used of them was three boxes of Cutcura and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and two cakes of Cuticura Soap.

CONSTITUTIONAL cATARRH.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
 hastened the breaking up of the constitution than
 Catarrh. The sense of smell of taste, of sight, Of
 hearing, the human voice, the mind-one or more,
 and sometimes all, yield to it's destructive in1u-
 ence The poison it distributes throughout the
 system attacks every vital force and breaks up the
 most robuet of constitutions. Ignored, because but
 little understood, by most physicians, impotently
 assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suffering
 from it have little hope to be relieved this side of the grave. It is time then, that the popular treat ment of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once compe- tent and trustworthy The new and hitherto
 tried method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the prepar- ation of his Radical Cure has won the hearty ap- proval of thousands. It is instantaneous in afford
 ing relief in all head colds sneezinR, snuing and obstructed breathing, and rapidly removes the most oppressive symptoms, clearing the head, sweetenipg the breath, restoring the senses of smell, taste and hearing and neutralizng the con stitutioaal tendency of the disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Of sedate but cunning dog out in Caii- fornia this story ia told: On one occasion 8 rabbit was started, and all the dogs with the exception of Bonus dashed off in full pur- suit. We were astonished to observe that he, foregoing the intense excitement of the chase, deliberately trotted by short cut to a hollow oak trunk, and crouching at it's base calmly awaited the coming of the fee- ing rabbit. And he was not disappointed, for the pursuing dogs pressed the rabbit SO hard that. after making long detour, it ap- preached the place of refuge As it was about entering the hollow trunk Bonus sprang up and captured it. Now this old dog was used to hunting rabbits in that field, and knew that the rodents were in the habit of flying for safety to that hollow tree.

A CARD.
To the Public:

M O shHO III
 The great success of our January Clearing Sale, which far exceeded our most sanguine expectations, convinces us that in our efforts to quote low prices on line of reliable goods we have met with the appreciation of the dry goods buyers of New Haven and vicin- ity. During the coming season we will con tinue our efforts to place before the public the best line of Dry Goods, which we can offer as reliable goods, and at prices that will convince anyone who is familiar with the quality and make of the goods we offer that we have struck rock bottom prices. Our lines of Dress Goods and Silks cannot be excelled for variety and for complete as- sortment of all grades. We cannot give you an adequate idea of the line of new goods we are now opening in these departments, but would ask you to call and inspect them. This is our Banner Department, and no ef- fort will be spared te have it up and if any thing above the usual standard of excellence. In each of our several departments we have effected an entire change with regards to the prices of the goods, and will be able to place on our counters, at various times, SPECIAL BARGAINS which it would be well to watch for, we expect to save you many dollars.
 Our recent large and extensive improve ments will enable us to better serve the de- mands of the public, and with our increased facilities we are confident we will be enabled to continue to merit the patronage of the New Haven public.
 Your obedient servants,
 Wilcox & Go.

The usual February thaw could we'll be dispensed with this year and a February freeze substituted. Unless there is change soon ice will be high this summer.
 A striking setting forth of the financial folly of the present treatment of the convicts in the New York State prisons is that made in Superintendent Lathrop's report on the State account system. The State now owns $400, ,769 worth of machinery and the profits of the labor of the convicts under that system amounted to 33,000 a month. For six months past the convicts have virtually done no work and the prisoners have earned $500.
 M. Eiffel, the famous engineer who is building the great tower for the coming ex- position at Paris, has had good deal of trou- ble with his workmen. They objected to laboring at so high an altitude as 600 or TOO feet unless the scale of wages was raised in proportion. All difficulties have, however, been amicably adjusted and the work now goes rapidly forward, not even Sunday being holiday. On January 2 the tower had att tained the 700-foot level and was expected to be completed by the middle of March.
 The Boston and Albany railroad company also wants leave to increase it's capital stock. It asks for permission to add ten million dol lars. The present amount of it's stock is tWe-sY millions. The proceeds of the pro-
 seu new stock the corporation, as its coun- gel, MT.

duct of it's poets and prose-writers that of perfume, that the full round of it's charms may be complete. The chosen field for the new industry is Florida, where ths magic touch of golden wand is all that is needed to make that State the leading producer. At tar of roses, it is claimed, can be made as suc- cessfully in Florida as in the gardens of Bul- garia.
 The two varieties of roses grown the musk and damask, and all attempts to raise them in parts of Europe other than a small region on the southern slopes of the Balkan mountain-a tract of land not over 30 miles wide and 300 long-have failed. Yet on the southern slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains, and in parts of Florida, those same varieties flourish abundantly, and it is claimed that eighteen acres we'll managed will yield $40, 900 l per annum. The other flowers are used for distillation, such as the jasmine, violets, liz lies and jonquils, are all hardy and yield rich harvests of flowers to generous cultivation. A factory is soon to be established in the neighborhood of Fort Meade which will give employment to hundreds of people, and make flower farming & paying as we'll as pleasant industry. The method of making the perfu. mery is mystery to many people, and inter- esting to all who use the sweet-scent extracts on their handkerchiefs or clothes. A writer in an exchange describes the two chief process ses by which oders extracted and retain ed. One is by distillation; the other, and by far the most interesting, is by absorption, or enfeurage. This is resorted to in the case of such flowers as the rose, jasmine, tuberose, and cassia, where the essence is 30 fine that it has by practice been found to be injured by heat. The principle of odor absorbtion from flowers is based simply on the establish ed law of affinity, which hydrocarbons have for perfumes. When these have been high ly purified they catch, and in catching con- centrate and intensity, the odors communities ted to them.

 Between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.

 By any startling signs or strange commotlon
 Across my track;
 But if the days grow sWeeter one by ono,
 And cen the icebergs melt their hardened faces.
 And sailors finger, basking in the SUD,
 know must have made the change of places
 Some distance back.
 When answering tirnidly the Masters call,
 I passed the bourne of life in coming to him;
 When in Love for him gave up all
 The very moment when thought knew him
 I cannot tell;
 But, as unceasingly feel his love
 As this cold heart is melted to overtiowing-
 And now dear the light comes from above,
 I wonder at the change-and move on knowing
 That all is well.
