 deal with Hartford to manage their team.
 Manager Spence was at the meeting in New York. He is anxious to come to New Haven
 and says he will play second base snd cap tain and manage the team. He says he can
 get good team now. It is quite probable
 that he will be hear to-day and talk with the directors.
 "Diokie" Burns, the best player that New Haven had two years ago, and the most gen. tlemanly player. too, arrived in the city yes- terday. He is in good condition and is look ing well. He would not be averse to manag- ing the New Haven team.
 Fred Nichols, who formerly pitched on the New Ravens, is an applicant for the position of manager.

The Grant Monument.

II may interest the public to know that
the Grant Monument Fund is rapidly in
creasing, and that the Association has as
suranccs that IL will be enabled to build a
monument at Riverside Park, that in style
and magntlCence will fully meet the eXpec-
tations of the American people.
1t i> proposed hv the Grant Monument
Association tC enlarge the scope of its orig
inal plan, and make the monument to Gen
eral Grant a memorial to all the soldiers
who served in the Civil War, giving them
share IN the honor accorded their Illus
trious chief, as they shared with him In
the yicissitudes Of the war. 1t is also pro-
posed to make this memorial embrace a
magnificent museum of waF relics, with
spacious hall and chapel, where the vet
cran soldiers and their sons can meet to-
gcther and observe their memorial days,
also National library, which shall con
tain the war history of each town, and
the personal "reminiscences and biographl-
cal sketches of individual soldiers.
In this enlarged plan. the people find
their ideal of National memorial-an
American Wcstminstcr-which while it
preserves the ashes of the great leader, as
well honors and immortalizes Jail the he
roes, who, by their devotion in their sew
eral lines of duty, made possible the sue
cess OF the Union cause.
The inception and the work of formu-
lating an acceptable plan for raising an
adequate fund for building a suitable me
mortal, have claimed the time and best eff
forts of the Grant Monument Association
for nearly two years. The Association has
now begun the canvass, and is greatly en-
courased and very substantially helped by
generous subscriptions. The Grand Army

bridegroom's dwelling she wears her hair
unbound as a sign of sorrow, and tries re-
peatcdly to run away, but is always over
taken, until after fortnight she resigns
herself to her fate and remains with her
husband. Should she not care for her
suitor she continues running away, until
the man becomes tired of hunting her up
and lets her go. But If he is deeply in
love he does not give her up. but resorts
to the cruel remedy of cutting the soles of
her feet with sharp instrument. BY the

Tented. Not wanting the man in question
under any circumstances, the girl cuts of

very seldom resorted to. The men, as a
rule, have only one wife, but occasionally
they take more. The first wife. though, is
generally the most important, and she is
sure to retain her position, provided she
bears her husband children. and particular
ly sons.

A FLEET MAINE DOG TEAM The most

out on Sunday airing his turnout in the
presence of admiring crowds. 1t is team
of three dogs, two at the pole and one
leader. They are little fellows but so
spry! When they travel they do it just as
though they were chasing low-hying
bird and, as they leap along,it is in perfect
harmony of action. The carriage is a
rough, impromptu afiaif and the harness
the same. He drove them, he says, forty
miles in five hours and they out travel a

A golden wedding comes SO rare,
Never but once TO any pair;
And few they are who see that day,
Before some fate obstructs their way
So when by chance a man aud wife
Escape divorce. and ills of life
Have met its joys and hopes. and fears.
For the round term of fifty years.
In sunshine bright, and cloudy weather,
Have travelled hand in hand together,
Favored and led by wondrous fate,
Till safely through that golden gate,
Al snch time, in such 3 case.
The favored ones should leave trace,
To note the date, and mark the day,
In something like social way:
Now fifty years have swiftly fed
Since Hymen TO the altar led
Your humble servant, who would take
This opportunity TO relate
Some incident OF time and date,
OF when and where we met our fate.
Twas in the east, on FTenchman's Bay,
Where nature in her bounteous way,
Adorns landscape spreading DER
The sloping hills and graceful shore,
Ger verdant banks, and pebbly beach.
Ger every view the eye can reach,
From shady groves, and grassy dales.
To mountain tops. and sunny wales.
The scenery here, on every side,
Is not surpassed 60 far and wide;
The roaring falls, unique and grand,
Our first attention will command;
Then looking south across the bay.
Those giant mounts. Mt. Deserts, lay,
Barren and bold, and bald and bleak.
By countless years of tempest beat,
Uprising from the ocean deep,
A barrier that shall ever keep
This lovely bay that Nature gave,
From raging seas and dashing wave;
Towering up athwart the sky,
Bounding the view that charms the eye,
The graceful yacht and larger sail.
That brave the storm and court the gale
And islands variegate the view
So always changeful, always new.
Now in our minds we seem to be
Where you with US in faith can see
A hamlet of New England style,
With country store to every mile.
The school house with its Union hall,
For Sunday worship, free to all,
The tiny lake, the old grist-mill,
