DRIFTING DOWN,
zone the ripple and the rushes

Gone the ripple and the rushes
Of the love song of the thrushes;
Gone the roses in the closes of the garden, and
the blushes
Of the sky verbena creeping
By the old south wall and stepping
All its sweetness in the sunshine of the
sleepy summer bushes;
and ever Ger it all, in gold and crimson
pail,
Over mignonette grown tawny, and DER
grasses bronzing brown,
With a rustic and whir, and a sad and
solemn stir,
The leaves are drifting down, dear; oh, the
leaves are drifting down.
Come the mornings gray and chilly,
Come the nights serene and Silly,
Comes an airy midnight fairy, tracing fern
and rose and lily
On the window paneS that glisten,
While in dreams the children listen
To the swing Of skates that ring, and shouts
that echo shrilly;
And ever, ever still, in the hollow, on the
hill,
By the roadside, where the sunaower lifts
aloft a ruined crown,
Like the dear old dreams of youth, dreams
of honor, fame and truth.
Forever falling from us, do the leaves keep
drifting down.
Let the summer set in splendor,
Let the summer tribute render
Bridelike beauty, ,bridelike duty, every charm
divine and tender,
To the conquering king who loudly
All in trumpet tones and proudly
Tells the story of his captive and her passion
ate surrender;
And with the leaves that fall, in rich and
royal pail,
Der the rosa hearts crumpled crimson, and
the grass grown dull and brown,
Let the bitterness, the strife, all the ills Of
life,
Go drifting. drifting down, dear! with the
leaves SO drifting down!

The Grave GETS Tired Yawning.

Seemingly, for certain wrecked invalids who
toddle feebly along, though always looking
as if they were going to die, but emitting to
do it. They dry up, wither, dwindle away
finally, but in the meantime never having
robust health, know noshing of the physical
enjoyment, the zest Of that existence to
which they cling with such remarkable te-
nacity. They are always to be found trying
to mend by tinkerine at themselves with
some trashy remedy, tonic or 'pick me up''
to give FLIP to digestion, or "help the
liver" If such misguided folks would
resort and adhere to Hosttetter's Stomach
Bitters it would be well with them. This

IVORY sAwYERs STRIKE.

Waterbury Button Company Elm
 ployes Demand Higher Wages.
 The six ivory sawyers employed at the Waterbury button shop went on strike for higher wages yesterday. Their de- mand was refused by Superintendent Smith and the men left their benches and are still out.
 Three prices were paid for saving the nuts, 45, 55 and 80 cents per hun dred pounds, according to the size. For the two former sizes the men asked q uniform price of 55 cents hundred pounds. Foreman Peircey laid the mat ter before Superintendent Smith, who refused to increase the price.
 The men claim that the quality of the ivory upon which they have worked of late is such that they are unable to earn as much wages as formerly, while the work is rendered more dangerous, green and dry nuts being mixed together. Anyone who works at the business is reasonably sure of losing a finger or two sooner or later, they say. Great skill is required and as sawyers are very scarce it is probable the company will accede to the demands of the men.

The BIggest Apple Tree.

The largest apple tree in New En. gland, and probably in the world, is in the northwestern part of Cheshire, Conn.,, standing in MT. Delos Hotchkiss' dooryard. Its age can be traced by a family tradition to 140 years at least, and it may be twenty or twenty-five years older. It is at the present time of symmetrical shape; the trunk is nearly round, without scar or blemish on it: there are eight large branches; five of them have been in the habit ot bearing one year and the remaining three the next MT. Hotchkiss has gathered in enc year from the five branches eighty-five bushels of fruit, and his predecessor had harvested a crop of 110 bushels from the same five branches. By careful measurement, the circumference of the trunk one foot above the ground, above all enlarge ments of the roots, is 13 feet inches. The girth of the largest single limb is feet inches. The height of the tree has beep carefully measured and found to be 60 feet, and the spread of the branches as the apples fall is 100 feet, or rods. The fruit is rather small, sweet and of moderate excellence. = Boston Journal.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Thatcher.s Minstrels.


 One of the princi pal features of George Thatcher's minstrels, who appear at Jacques opera house this evening, is the fine singing. Realizing the impor- tance of having thoroughly first class company of singers, the most careful attention was given to the selection of the soloists, with the result of having most talented and prominent vocalists Tn the minstrel profession, viz R. J. Jose, Raymon Moore, H. w. Frillman, Thomas Lewis and w. A. Patterson A feature is introduced in the first part which has proven a decided novelty, as well as a great assistance to the singing, is large pipe organ in conjunction with the orchestra. The effect is very pleasing added to the excellent contribu- tions by the vocalists, and the comic songs and sayings of George Thatcher, John Wild, Thomas l.. Mack, John A. Coleman, Wood and Shepard, Jay Quig- ley and George w. Lewis. ssHeId By the Enemy." -
 "Held by the Enemy" which is to be pre- senGed at the opera house Friday evening, has reputation almost world | wide. This is both because of it's genu- | inc merit and because it is the first play written on the late war, wherein the conflicting interests of the north and south have been so ingeniously inter woven as not to give offense to the syn- pathizers of either cause.

TELEPHONE STATISTICS.
Facts Concerning the Southern New
 England Company.

Fact8 COncernlnS the SOutnerh NC"
 England Company.
 The Southern New England Telephone company furnishes some interesting figures bearing upon the business of Hartford and New Haven, the two prin- cipal exchanges, with the rest of the state.
 New Haven is connected with twenty seven other exchanges in the state, and does more. or less business with all of them. For the three months ending September 30, 1890, the New Haven office handled 17,0O0 messages. With five cities it did business running from 1, ,440 to 3,667 messages. These 3,667 con nections were with Birmingham, which includes Derby and Ansonia, 3,070 were with Bridgeport, ,445 with Hartford, ,SO7 with Meriden and 1886 with Wa terbury. This takes il ,S22 out of the +, ,000 messages, leaving 5,17S for the re- mainder of the state.
 In the case of Hartford, it is found that, that city likewise has some business with every part of the state. Hartford handled 12, ,760 communications during the quarter. Of these, 7,061 are divided among the seven exchanges that are l within a fifteen mile radius of Hartford that is, Bristol, Middletown, New Britain, Rockville, Southington, Wind sor Locks and Manchester. If to this are added the communications to New Haven, ,442, Essex S98, Waterbury 495 and Winsted 751, we find 10, ,o47 connec tions distributed among twelve ex changes.
