THk GoVERN0R,s MEssAGE.


 Governor bulkeley's first message will be read with great deal of interest. It is sound, practical and forcible document, just what might be expected from such 6 thor- ough and capable business man and execu- tive officer as Governor Lounsbury is. There is nothing in it that is superfuous or weak.
 No part of the message will receive more attention than that devoted to railroads What the governor has to say concerning them will commend itself to all the fair- minded citizens of the State. Referring to the fact that the railroads of the State are largely concentrated, either by ownership or lease, in the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and New York and New England companies, representing the enormous aggre- gate capital stock of nearly sixty-thres mill lion and 8 half dollars, with total indebted ness of over thirty-si1 and half million dol lars, he points out that the growth of busi- ness on these roads has, during the last de- csde, taxed their capacity to accommodate the demands of the public for speedy and safe transportation of passengers and freight; that they have now also become grand high ways of communication, in connection with other roads, for the whole country. The legislature will be called upon in the next few months to determine permanently the policy of the State regarding the concentra- tion and consolidation of the capital and management of these great corporations. ''Such concession" the govern says, "as may be granted by the legislature, should be surrounded by such wise provisions of law and limitations of power as would give ade- quate protection to the people and preserve the corporations themselves from the grow ing prejudices and jealousies created by ag- gregated capital" Concerning the abolition of grade crossings he believes that results reached by concession and compromise be- tween the varied interests will generally prove more satisfactory than the arbitrary decision of a court or commission made un- | der the strict interpretation of 8 general law, | and such Q course has, in many cases, been followed with the approval of the comnis- sioners.
 Another of the important subjects treated l of in the message is the necessity which ex- \ ists for filling out the vacancies which may occur among the judges of the higher court during the recesss of the legislature. Our l court now requires constant service to meet | the requirements of the people in the trial of | causes. In the interests of the people the governor recommends a moderate increase in the number of judges, or an amendment to | the constitution, authorizing the executive | to fill vacancies during the recess of the leg ! ielature, subject to confirmation at the next general session of the assembly.
 The message contains much else that is well worth attention We print it in full so that our readers can gain from it some ides ] of the spirit in which the new governor en. 1 ters upon his duties.

ing of this drug, but these have become dead
 letters, although never repealed.


 The Bridgeport Standard knows what it wants in the shape of judge. It thus de- poses: We have often urged the necessity of additional Superior court judges for this end of the State. and do not now propose to re- iterate arguments SO well known and so pa- tent to all who take any interest in the mat ter whatever, but we simply reaf6rm that Bridgeport is entitled to a Superior court judge, and that it will be 8 grave neglect of the equities of the case if she does not get one speedily. Nor is it necessary to cast about far for timber out of which to make one. We think we shall have the concur renee of the Republican portion of the bar of Fairfield county in saying that Judge F. B. Hall of the Court of Common Pleas is enni- nently fitted for the position, and that in his promotion the Superior court will gain a man sure to do it honor, and Fairfield coun- ty will secure 8 representation upon the bench satisfactory to all who are interested in any way in the constitution of the courts.
 As substitute for granite blocks, steel paving is attracting considerable attention, it's durability being said to be quite point in it's favor, and it's cost being somewhat less. It consists of steel strips about 219 inches wide and inch thick, rolled with a channel on the side exposed to traffic, and with notches about inches apart; these strips weigh il pounds to the yard, are laid across the street distance of about inches between centers, and their length is only sufficient to extend to the middle of the street, 70 that the proper slope from the cen ter to the gutters can be securad. They are bolted together, so as to insure them against lateral slipping, and are fastened to wooden sills. A firmly constructed bed of gravel composss the support for this pavement, while between the steel strips 8 mixture of tsrstices to level with the tops of the strips and rendering the surface compara- lively smooth.
 The New Orleans Times Democrat thus warmly comments Governor Gordon's action in vetoing the bill passed by the Georgia leg islature, relative to the school system of Ma con, to the effect that all the revenue eolleet- ed from the taxes on property owned by white people should go for white schools and all from the property of the colored people to the colored schools of the town: He is right in declaring such law against sound policy and 8 violation of the spirit of both the State and Federal constitutions. If acts like this were extended over the whole South they would assure ths illiteracy of the negro Tor all time to come. The colored people are acquiring property very slowly and the taxes on it would not suffice to make the slightest impression upon the immense mass of Hitter acy prevailing among them. On the Macon basis the negroes of Georgia would be enti- tied at best to $12,000 or s15,000 year, or enough to support twelve or fifteen schools for it's 20,e00 children of an educational age. The Georgia law is antagonistic to the spirit which the South has shown in its dealing with the negroes.

Governor West of Salt Lake city says that to admit the territory of Utah into the Union at this time would be simply to add to our other problems the particularly tough one of Mormon State and to put every non-Aor-
 mon in Utah at the mercy of the hierachy. The ''saints" outnumber their gentle neigh bors four to one, and they obey implicitly the orders of the heads of tn cir so-called church. He thinks the best possible govern ment for Utah for some time to come is 8 governor and territorial commission.

 A popular vice among the ladies of this part of the State is the use of tobacco. Some will chew it like veterans, while others are content to smoke. But by far the most common way of deriving enjoyment from it's use is to take it in the form of snuff When number of women get together the snuff box is nearly always produced, with the instruction to 'ttake dip'' as it goes ! around the circle. Then they will sit and gossip, interrupting the flow of conversation | with frequent expectorations into a big | spittoon or the fireplace. A -dipper's | outfit consists of small tin canister about 1 an inch thick by two inches long and a wooden brush. The latter is about three ! inches in length, and in size resembles a | slate pencil. Ii is usually cut from black | gum or some other tough wood. One end is chewed and splintered by the teeth till it looks like 8 small paint brush. The splin- tered end is dipped into the snuff and work ed around till little ball has been collected.
 The snuff thus secured is rubbed over the
 teeth and gums. Usually the stick is held
 between the teeth till the snuff has all been
 absorbed, when another dip is taken. Fol ! ladies who object to using 6 canister and
 brush 6 small snuff wafer has been invented l which can be concealed between the lips and
 teeth. A grocer's clerk asserted emphatically that fully 90 per cent. of the women used
 either tobacco or snuff, or both. By thinks ing men the tobacco habit among women l. ! considered one of the worst evils with which
 Arkansas is obliged te contend.

Dr. Pinel of Paris is said to have succeed
 ed in hypnotizing several subjects by means of the photograph. All the commands giv- en through this ohannel were, he declares,
 as readily obeyed as those which he uttered
 directly, and "suggestions" of every possible sort were as effectually communicated
 through the medium of the machine as if made viva voce. The conclusion which he deduees from his experiments is that the TO- ceived theory of a magnetic current passing from the operator to the subject is entirely baselsss, and that the real cause of the phs- nomena of hypnotism is nervous derange- ment on the part of those subject tc them.
 The use of opium in China is very greatly on the increase. Twenty five years ago a careful inquiry was made and it was found 1 that, with the exception of the opium inn ported from India, little, if any, of this drug was used by the Chinese people; but the re- port recently obtained, indicates that a great change has taken place. In one of the largest provinces it is asserted that seven.

 from which the opium is made contributed l at least one-third of the whole cultivation o the district. Native opium is now grown tt such an extent that, while the supply of i'm
 imported opium shows but little falling of reports indicate that there are ten chests o
 native opium used to every foreign one tha Lis consumed. Imperial lsws forbid the grow
