 Christmas Eve, Christmas night and at a matinee, Christmas afternoon, will ap- pear the greatest tragic actress of the English stage, Madame Fanny Janau- shek. Christmas Eve, she rules the stage in the tattered garb of Meg Merrilies 7 at the matinee, she gives "Mother and Son" and, Christmas night, Macbeth, , of which the New York Tribune says that hers is the grandest Lady Macbeth of the decade. The Boston Post gives this critical analysis of the undoubted power of this great actress:
 Mme. Janauschek stands today as almost the sole distinguished representative of dra matic school that unfortunately has few fol 1 lowers. She represents the classic as againsi the melodramatic in drama. Limiting the scope of this distinction to tragedy 1t is as tragic actress that Mme. Janauschelk ii IS alone to be considered i've may say thal she stands for the method Of pure lntellectu al and mimeHc force against that of mere shriek and shiver.
 Rice X Dixey's sCorsairn will be giveT on Friday and Saturday, with Saturda, matinee, 27th and ssh.

The proposed new highway was to cross land of Will. liam H. and William W. Lockwood and land belonging to the estate of Silas Wakeman, the owners giving the right of way provided the town would build the road, which only requires ordinary grading for about 100 rods to make 3 good road, giving one or two families al outlet to the highway without crossing private property, as well as being great convenience to local travel and the tray cling public generally.

We are always glad to hear, through

We are always glad to hear, through the columns of the BEE, from Seth Jen- nings < Son now of Bridgeport, once proprietors of trustee farm of Easton. that they are making farming success. Would like to say few words about the present proprietor, Edward Hill. MT Hill is doing an extensive business in farming, keeps q large herd of cows, has large milk route and is selling more milk than one farm ican produce; is at present selling not far from $6000 worth of milk per year. He is also quite an ex- tensive vegetable and small fruit raiser and is d large poultry producer. If the seasons are favorable, he calculates to raise 300 bushels of potatoes, about the same of corn and from 200 to 300 bush- els of oats, besides cutting 70 or 80 tons of hay. All of this of course takes time and money, but, nevertheless, if all things work favorably, he expects to clear $3000 per year. Who says farming does not pay? Now, if there is any other farmer in Easton or any town in the vii cinity who is doing better, we should like to hear from them through the col umns of the BEE.-James B. Turney.

It may also be nec- essary to change the turn-table and sev- eral tracks. It appears that when the round house was built, 10 or 12 years ago, it encroached slightly upon land be- longing to the Consolidated road. The latter allowed, it is understood, on con dition that they be allowed to use one ol two pits which stood on their land. This was done for several years, but change was finally brought about; the Consoli' dated removed it's locomotives and the Housatonic is removing the round house The work has been going on for some time and may require many weeks.

TRUMBULL.

It is surprising that the officials of the Housatonic road should leave the chim- ney of their depot at Trumbull so long in it's present topless and unsafe condition. "Upon some raw and gusty day." with the wind blowing strong from the north west, there would be great danger that fire might be communicated to the roof ed. This, perhaps, wonld be no great loss, but the Town House and church would certainly be swept away as we'll.
 Christmas is rapidly approaching, in- deed is almost here, yet not word is heard about providing a Christmas tree, concert or anything of the kind for the encouragement, entertainment or in- struction of the members of the Congre- gational Sunday school.

About the usual num- Der attended and, after several ballotings for expression of preference, majority was obtained for E. A. Warfield, a young Yale divinity student from New Haven, who officiated here satisfactorily, one Sunday, two or three weeks ago. The committee were instructed to hire him and to offer him the salary of our late pastor, with the use of the parsonage, if he desires it. Inasmuch as the young mans studies are incomplete and he has yet several months to spend at the semi nary and is not expected to be with us only on'Sunday and is not qualified to administer the communion or join in mar riage and will not be here through the week to labor among our people, to visit our sick or offer words of hope and con. solation beside our open graves, is not the offer of the price of full fiedged clergyman liberal and generous? s'Fol | if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?''

TWO REPUBLICS.

IL the same fortnight the two great
Republics have celebrated their center =
malls.
France has opened her great cxposi-
ton, and the indications are for great
success The elimination Of the Ameri-
can movement in the adoption Of a con-
stiiution and the Inauguration of Wash
ington naturally involved the beginning
of the French democratic movement and
the overthrow OF the monarchy. France
had aided the Colonies IN conquerlng
their independence, and at cost Of
nearly $500 100000 In treasure, and
with the sacrifice OF much OF its
hes, and most heroic blood had CO
operated in establishing free instiiu-
tons in the New World. When the en-
,husiasm for the American cause had
time to cool after Yorktown, the imam
cial burdens, caused by the foreign cam
paigns. which had wiped away The dis
grace caused by the peace OF 1865,
involved the necessity tor conyoking the
states. General. Necker's famous report
on the finances of the kingdom was one
of the direct causes OF the historical AS
sembling of the Three Estates, which
has been commemorated this week in
Paris by the memorial ceremonies at
Versailles and the opening Of the expo
silion and the subsequent publication
Of the State and National Constitutions
adopted in America impaired apowerful
impulse to the movement in favor Of par
liahentary institutions.
The position of the two great republics
are similar in one sense, for they have
co-operated to establish the new era OF
politics. which is destined finally To over
throw personal government But while
the United States was inspired by the
free minds nuriured in the rich and free
wilderness. the French bad the difficulties
Of powerful traditions and of near neigh
bors that opposed the Republican idea.
Aid while France has been logically
drifting towards the American idea she
has been clogged by her surroundings
and the two nuisances Of the Bourbons
and the Bonapartists.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1889-05-08

The royalty of Europe at first dc
termined 10 ignore the great Republican
Centennial at Paris, which has just been
opened, but several kings of secondary
Grade have condescended to signify their
acceptance of the invitation to the show,
though President Carnot has stated that il
celebrates the victory Of France over the
idea Of personal government
A King will be a good feature at the
exposition, for people Of all countries
will have their attention called 10 the
contrast between the personal and popu-
lar ideas of government, and the grand
success Of the exposition will serve TO
show a more rapid development under
the Republican y'iem than under the
monarchical traditions.
The last exposition is one from which
royalty generally holds aloof The reason
for this is not 20 much because France is
a Republic as because the year chosen
for the exhibition is the centennial Of The
downfall of the royal house that had
long dominated all Europe. The French
Revolution of 1889 is still, as it has been
for hundred years, constant menace
to Kings. II was not to be expected,
therefore. that the Hapsburgs and the
Hohenzolerns and the rest should take
kindly to the cele bration.
