that the worlds brain is a picture sal.

LEGISLAT NEEDED.

The Waterbury board of trade has started e movement which is likely to amount to something. It Is against the itinarant ven- ders who infest this State, swindle the peo- pie and take business away from the regular dealers. An effert will be made to get | law passed at the next session of the legislature, entitled "An act to prevent and punish fraud in sales of wearing apparel, dry goods and other merchandise at public and private sale by itinerant vendors, and to regulate all such sales" By the provisions of the bill presented for confederation every persen who desires to sell as an itinerant vender must deposit $500 with the state treasurer as bonds and pay $25 for state license. When thsStravsling merchant desires to ge out of business he notifies the state treasurer, who holds the bond money sixty days. This is done 50 that person who has been swin. dled by . misrepresentation of goods by the dealer can recover damages. If after sixty days no bills of complaints come in, the $500 is refunded to the dealer. The bill was dis. ousssd by the members and an amendment suggested which was the addition of jewslry to the section setting forth the nature of the goods included in the bill, which reads as follows:-''olethins, underwear, hats, shoes, dry goods, jewelry, hardware and other mer chandise."
 This is a good foundation to build upon Now let those interested in all parts of th' state pay attention to the matter aad be pre- pared for action next winter. Such . law ought to have been passed long ago. Ney York has one.

Caught in a Snakes Coll.

William Hill, young man who lives with Nr. Ransom, at Arant, Union county, N. O., had an experience which he will be likely to remember for some time. While walking through an old field Nr. Hill was confronted by large snake of the coach whip variety. The snake was within few feet of MT. Hill with head erect three or four feet from the ground.
 Giving vent to keen whistle, it spranR at the young man ,snd before Ar. Hill oould re- sist it entwinsd itself around his body and arms. Hill could not get his knife, but man aging to get one hand partially loose he grasped the snake and began tuggiAg away for dear life. Fortunately, his dog was with him, and seeing the peril of his master came to his relief. Hill with the assistance of tht dog, managed to freq himself from the tot affeotionate embraee..of his snakeship, whicl then ran up cedar tree . short distance
 away.
 Hill gathered some stones, and, going ul to within ten feet of the tree, was preparinl to dislodge the snake with the argument used by . certain old gentleman on the snal boy in his apple tree, but the snake did no wait fer MT. Hill to renew the battle Springing from the tree, it made second attack upon him, but as 1t came Mi Hill threw.up his arm and warded 1t of. Be fore 1t recovered itself the dog again attacked 1t, and this time succeeded in breaking tn back of the snake. Hr. Hill then dispatches
 1t, and measuring it found the snake to between seven and eight feet long.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

THE SUGAR TRUST.
 The eyes of speeulators, politicians and others are now turned atteutivsly upon the Sugar trust. The spsculatora are anxious to know what the price of it's certificates will be, and they have cause for their anxiety. The gyrations of the Wall street part of the trust have been wonderful and startling. bringing good fortuae to few and near sights of the poerhouss to many. The first flight of prices of the certificates stopped ct about 12e. Then they took Q speedy and graceful drop to 50; then they flew up to s5; then down to 67; back to about SC; and on Saturday closed at e9. All these perform ances have taken place ia about two years, and it is believed that the managers of the trust have made many millions out of them. No wonder they want to maintain their blind pool as long as they can. But 1t Is @ serious question with them how to do 1t. The law is after them, both in the State and nation. There is powerful protest against their re. eeiving any favors from the Republican party. And competition of various kinds threatens them.
 It will be interesting to see the outcome ei this gigantic scheme of plunder. Sc far il has worked exceedingly we'll for it's mana. gers. They have plundered the people by making the price of sugar to suit themselves and they have plundered spsculatsrs by making the price of certificates to suit them selves. There were never any robber baron
 mere bold or more successful than the suga
 barons. If there is strength enough in thi
 country to suppress them 1t should bs re
 lentlsssly exercised.
