WATERUURY'S POET ABROAD.
LTTcHFIELD, Conn.

LrcHFrELD, Conn. We are up on the hills of Ltchheld Taking quiet rest; We see much to admire in Litchaeld For tho town is at its best. The streets grand and spacious, The people arc kind and good; You wouldn't find fault with Litchfeld, And you couldn't if you would. We took a walk last evening And visited different places. We met the Hindoo and African, too. And people of different races The subject, of course, was the census And Waterbury came in for it's share; We sat back and laughed while our soda we Quafed
 As the Brass City got compliments rare.
 III. They could not make out how our city did grow Aud develop in such short time; They mentioned the cities in distant lands, The names we won't venture to rhyme, They talked of some places thousand years old,
 Yet Waterbury still came out best; They did not know from whence we came, But we soon set their minds at rest.
 ". Permit us to say in our own modest way That the secret of our peoples success Is industry and honesty, and virtues like these: Hence our population will never grow less. We are proud of our record, were going right on, We're progressing in the highest degree; We've no strike in our town, on those we all frown,
 We're conteuted, we're happy. we're free.
 V. It would detain you too long to speak of ,-e men
 And concerns that made Waterbury great; But the house down on Grand clear through to South Main, Is the one that brought fame to our state. For Furniture, Bedding and Suits, bear in mind, They please one and all, far and near; stoves, Ranges, etc, of every kind, No one yet found their prices too dear.
 VT. Some people oft wonder at our great success, But to us 1t Is perfectly clea-; Act square with the public they want nothing less And your trade will increase every year. When people want CREDIT we don't hesitate. If they're upright and honest, before We load up their goods deliver at Once And we'll do 1t for many years more.

A Modern Bluebeardl

A man, whom his neighbois call a
Bluebeard, has been discovered and i'm
prisoned in the vicinity of Belgrade.
His name is Buja. For the last twenty
years he has been a considerable land
owner and the proprietor of the largest
tavern in the suburbs of THE Servian
capital: Buja was living with his first
wife when he made his first appearance
among the Belgraders, in 1863. Two
years later she vanished. Bnja adver-
tised for her, paid detectives to try to
lind her, and apparently mourned for
her deeply, after all his efforts had
proved vain.
Two years elapsed and he married
again. The second Mrs. Buja lasted
until the middle of 1874. Then she,
too; dropped out Of sight. Buja did as
ne had done when the first Mrs. Buja
vanished, and was just as unsuccessful
as before. With 1875 came another
Mrs. Bula who could not be found after
july, 1876. In the spring Of 1877 a
fourth Mrs. Buia shared Mr.. Buja's bed
and board. She was young and pretty,
and as devoted to her husband as he

he remained single until 1884. when

her ever since and has had three chill

A Queer Mouthful.

The funniest thing out happened to
me on the last passage to Honolulu. It
happened in this way: We have q
patent self-registering log. The regis
ter is attached to the tafrail, and the
propeller is lowed astern. We had
about 800 feet of line out. It was just
about sever bells and the Bessie was
going about six knots. Presently the
log-line became as taut as a wire stay,
and there was a terrible furry near the
propeller. I happened to be on deck,
and seeing the trouble, ran to the taft
rail. What do you think I saw? Why,
I'm blamed if a great big blue shark
hadn't swallowed the propeller. I
called some hands aft and we started to
haul in the line. There were seven
hands pulling on the line beside N.Y.
self, and yet we had a hard time pull
ing the fish in. But, by thunder, sir.
we hauled 290 feet Of that line in, until
the shark was right under our counter.
He was quite 30 feet long, and in a ter
rible rage, lashing the water into foam.
We Just beginning to think that
we could get him on board, when the
line snapped, being bitten through by
the shark. just think of it, however,
pulling a shark in $50 feet on alog line,
and he did not bite it until within 20
feet Of the taffrail! OF course, by los
ing the shark We alsolost our propeller,
but it must have been pretty hard to
digest and his inside must have been
pretty sore from the strain.
The funniest part of the thing was
the action of the register. When the
weight OF the shark got on the line the
the blamed register showed a speed of
90 miles an hour, with only a six-knot
breeze. Well, sir, when the mate
looked at the register first and then at
the sails he nearly tainted. 1t was not
for several seconds hat he realized
there was so much dead weight on the
rope.-Sdn Francisco Alta.
