Connecticut's High Hills.

By the new survey of this state, for which $25, 900 was appropriated by the legislature of 1889, the elevations have been first measured and then the alti- tudes accurately taken. The highest land is found to be Bear mountain in Salisbury, 2,355 feet above tide water. Mohawk mountain in Cornwall, reaches height of about TOO feet, and peaks in Norfolk and Goshen are nearly as high. The Hillhurst at Norfolk stands on an elevation of 400 feet. It may not be remembered that the village of New Hartford lies about 800 feet above sea level, nearly the altitude of North Conway, N. H., and that the hills all around it tower several hundred feet higher in all directions. Town hill is estimated at about HOO feet and West hill still higher.

Alady well-known In the Western Addition
has been great sufferer for years with IN.
digestion and dyspepsia. Struck with the
testimonial prsising joys Vegetable Sarsa-

not having It, talked them into taking another
sarsaparilla- As leading sarsaparillas use
mineral blood purifiers, the effect of the
emptying of iodide Of potash into stomach
already distressingly delicate was disastrous,
almost prostrating her before the mistake was
rectihed. She then called upon Mrs. Fowler,
OF s7 Ellis street, whose name was among
those cured by joys Vegetable sarsaparilla.
Mrs. Fowler said It was true that 1t had cured
her. Again resxsured, the vegetable COM
pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle
action Of Its vegetable stimulants upon the
Liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its
warm stomach tonics, were the very things
needed. and she began improving and was
her old self within a fortnight. This sounds
like fiction, but the names can be given II

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT RE-
MOVALS.

II appears that dispatch which was
printed in many newspapers of the
country this morning somewhat mis-
quotes Secretary of the Interior Noble.
He is represented in the dispatch as
fully agreeing with the radical policy
OF turning out Democrats, good aud
had, at once, which has been attributed
10 Commissioner Tanner, The Secre,
etDy, MS indicated in another col
umn of to.day's CRrTIc, has not
objected to the Commissioners recon.
mendations TO date, and has only com.
plimentary terms for that official, but
this is by no means an intimation that a
policy Of general discharge Of Demo
Gratis is contemplated. The attitude Of
Commissioner Tanner may have been
misunderstood. In any event the
strictly partisan attitude ascribed in the
dispatch referred to is not held.
Secretary Noble speaks plainly and
sensibly. The incompetent when found
will so. OF what effect party affilia-
tons will have in the matter OF appoint
mcnts and removals he says nothing.
He says no more, intimates no more.
u would have been curious thing in.
deed had Secretary Noble expressed
himself as reported In the dispatch.

Benedict will not see me- Whot will dos
The dispatch Is unsigned, the writer
probably changing his mind, con-
eluding to put his query in another
form and throwing the first written
away. There is world Of pathos,
though, even In what is written. What
does the writer want of Benedict and
why will not Benedict see himY The
Benedict referred TO is probably the
Public Printer, and one would imagine
That he could not be considered just
now the man to whom the hungry and
thirsty could 60 with the prospect Of
getting anything permanent The
sender Of the dispatch may not have
been seeking a place. he may have
wanted merely to inquire after the
health OF the Public Printer, and yet he
couldn't see him. II Is sad case all
round
Even more touching, though. than
