The Socialist victory in the Ger

The Socialist victory in the Ger
man elections is the most significant
event of current European history.
Notwithstanding all Emperor Will
lams efforts to gain the Socialist
vote, the government majority in the
Rejcnstag has been practically an
Inhibited. To Americans it seems
natural that The results of the very
oppressive Socialist laws by which
any man could be arrested on the
slightest preteXt, and any newspaper
suppressed without warning, should
result in an uprising that should
ovirhow the whole system. What
the result will be there is no telling.
Some alarmists are predicting re-
newal of the experiences OF u century
ago. Should the young Emperor
pant his guns and sweep the Inter
den Linden as he has in years past
intimated that he might do, very
few months might see the map Of
Europe changed entirely. But if he
has the wisdom to lead instead of
trying to drive. he may save his peo-
pie even though he lose his throne.
The world will look on with anxiety
and deepest interest.-N. \. Voice.

Damage to Crops by the Cold ana
Dry weather.
To-day's rain storm came none too
soon and everybody-with the exception
of prospective picnickers-is praying
that the showers will continue for a day
or two. The drought has caused a general
drying up and cracking open of the
ground in gardens and among,ield crops.
Tobacco has suffered badly and the pas
lures We're beginning to show the effects
of the drought.
The weather has now grown warmer,
but the cold wave was general. Reports
from various parts of Connecticut are
to the effect that last Monday morning
there were frost in many places. But
it does not appear to have been general
or hard enough to do any damage. At
this time of the year it requires lower
temperature to make frost than it would
in May, or late in September. Il must
have been a temperature as low as "a
degrees, or 35 degrees, to do it now, and
even at that, there would be only that
cold dew cOngelations called "a breath
of frost"-white and frosty, and no
doubt a real frost, but occurring chiefly
in low, cold spots. The valleys get it
sooner than the hills. In the country
throughout northern New England the
frost W as harder and more general.

Eddie Benham, q nlne-year-old Pros

ence for a youngster Few Gays ago.
He was fishing in the Melville reservoir
with an old poll and small trout hook,
but had a stout line Something took hold

energy as to pull him off the bank into
the water, but he held on to the line,
struggled to the shore and finally sue

ed three pounds and six ounces. 1t was
the largest fish ever caught IN that pond,
and was as long as the lad was tall. lie
was exceedingly proud of his prize.
One day last week Burr Kiselback of
Birmingham, while returning from fish
ing above the Housatonic dam, stopped
for a moment to throw his line in just
below the locks back of the paper mill.
Something suddenly grabbed it and
presently a fine black bass threw himself
up and out of the water clean and dry
on an old scow that was anchored near
by, but not being pleased with his new
quarters he jumped off again and back
into the water. After some sklllful
manoeuvering Burr had the fine fellow
landed where he would stay. 1t proved
to be black bass which weighed over
two pounds, and one of the finest speci-
mems caught this season.
1t will be remembered that quail were
turned loose last spring in two or three
districts of the state. In the vicinity OF
Derby and Ansonia the quail have pros

SO far have been even better than the
most sanguine expected. Coveys are

Omcer at North Haven.
About one o'clock yesterday morning
men watching a brick kiln at Stiles
brick-yard in North Haven were ap-
preached by a well-dressed man who sat
and chatted with them until a party of
Italians came to work. With the new
corners he quarreled, and he became SO
violent that he was overpowered and
placed in a barn and the authorities
were notified. He was soon identified
as Henry Eddy of Danbury, who the
preceding afternoon had escaped from a
Danbury officer, who was taking him to
an asylum in Hartford, his confinement
having been deemed necessary because
of his recent murderous attack on two
men. While the train was at the North
Haven station, Eddy, on whom the of
ficer failed to keep a close watch, slipped
off and the latter did not discover the
fact until so late that the first thing he
could do was to telegraph from Wal
lingford to have Eddy searched for.
Eddy was taken to Hartford yesterday.

Rates for Letters.


Rates for Letters.
A. B. Ruggles, of Shelton, has in his
possession the postal laws of 1879 which
is quite a curiosity, as it belongs to the
days when the mails were taken by
stage coach or horseback and on most
routes weekly or bi-weekly. The centre
of Huntington, than called Ripton,
was on a route from Bridgeport to New
town and Brookfield. Derby was on a
route from New Haven to Waterbury
and north. The rates of postage were
from 6 cents up to so cents and
if more than one piece of paper
was in the letter it was charged Couble
rates. The weight of a letter must not
be more than one quarter of an ounce
for single rate. The postmasters were
ordered to be very particular that the
rates were not violated and informed
that they should be careful that letters
containing more than one piece of paper
should be charged rates accordingly,
and they could generally tell this by
holding the letter up to the light. The
postage was almost always collected at
its destination. Stamps were not known
then nor until long afterward.
