Winged Ants Filled the Air.

From the Derby Transcript.
A peculiar sight was witnessed on
Main street, Ansonia. Saturday morn
ing, about 8 o'clock. 1t was what
might be styled shower of ants and
lasted nearly two hours. The air was
completely filled with the insects.
They seemed to come out of the
ground. At one place near the post
Office they issued forth in a stream
five inches wide. AS soon as they
reached the pavement they would
take to their wings. They came out
along the street for 100 yards, and af-
ter circIing around in the air started
in body down the street. They evil
IDENTIFY had mid-air cOmbats, as the
streets were full of dead end injured
and the wings of other unfortunates.
What caused this immigration from
the buildings is unaccounted for.

The Pride of Matrimony.

From the St. James Gazette.
In his recently published Trials

tells some amusing anecdotes picked
up in Already AS thus: at is very
shocking to a sensitive person to hear
the way in which the old people speak
of their dead wives or husbands ex-
actly as it they'd been horses or dogs.
They are always proud of having
been married more than once. You
didn't think, miss, as I'd had five
wives, now did you? All, but 1 have,
though -leastways buried five on 'em
in the churchyard, that 1 did-and

you mix up your husbands now and
then, Mrs. Page. when you talk
about them? well, to tell you the
truth, sir. L really du! But my

don't mix him up. He got killed
fighting-you've heard tell o. that l

Chicago Wins Again.

Chicago Tribune.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-In the
beef-dressing contest this afternoon
at Central Park, between B. F. Null
Inns, of Chicago, and Charles West
phal, of San Francisco, champion of
the Pacific coast, for purse of $1,000

Inns was declared the winner of the
match by the three judges selected to
decide, although Westphal made the
fastest time. Westphal killed and
dressed his "critter" in minutes As

was by far the neatest, and by their
system of accounting Mullins was
credited with 96 per cent. to West

DEMOCRATIC PRINCES.

Good Stories of Emperor williams Two
Elder Sons.
The elder two of Emperor Williams
sons show as yet little of their imperial
fathers cold and domineering DISPOSE
ton. III their friendliness they much
more resemble their gentle grandfather,
the late Emperor Frederick. They are
ready to mako comrade of any lad
they meet, especially if he shows
lively and dashing spirit, says a writer
in Widc-Awal,c. At tYilhclm'shohc,
where they lately have been staying,
the young Princes have had partlcu-
larly good time, and they and their
matchless little white ponies have
speaking acquaintance" with every
body.
Gao afternoon the two little Iohen-
zollcrns were ont for a canter when they
came OH peasant lad, we'll mounted,
who was galloping By. Tho Crown
Prince Immediately touched up his
spirited little stccd, and springing for
ward, tried to outrido tho country boy,
but all in vain. Tho latter, with the
true spirit Of independence and with Il
loud shout and touch Of his long whip,
so urged on his beast that he soon shot
ahead beyond all possibility OF being
ovcrtakcn by the Prince; then turning
around he waved his cap in tho air to
the royal lads on the snowy ponies and
vanished out of sight. Friedrich Will
helm was manly enough to take his dis
comiituro i'll perfect good humor and
courteous enough to return the tri-
uinphant salutation of tho stranger
with smiles of admiration.
After long ride tho Princes wore
hnrrying homo when suddenly they en-
countered an old lIcssan peasant woman
carrying q monstrons collection of dried
brushwood on her back, which SO COW
cred her that her figure was scarcely to
be perceived. 'Ach?" exclaimed Prince
Eitcl to his brother. Look wonder.
Fritz; the forest is moving; there is GER
tainly macrchen fairy) here"
But as they approached nearer tho old
peasant woman, pcering out beneath the
dried wood, dropped her load and stood
before the boys, her old care-worn face
all aglow, her eyes filling with tears of
loyal affection and her Ups murinuriny
endless blessings on their fair young
heads.
The boys, laughing at their childish
fears and funny mistake, begged their
attendants to be allowed to empty their
joint tiny purses into the trembling
palm of tho poor wood-gathcrcr, and
this done they gallopcd Off to the castle
having proved themselves to be the gem

arc still voting for Jackson, but they
are fully that far behind the times in
many respects.
Not III so lar as moncy-making is con-
cerned, for the Long Island farmer has
lively appreciation of the mighty dol
lar, and he knows how to hold on to it,
too. He has all the kccnncss of the
Yankee trader and the stolid frugality
OF the Dutch farmer 1t is the natural
result of tho fusion of tho original set
tiers. On the west end OF the island we
still find the Bergcns, the Van W5tlls,
the Polbcmuses, the Brinkcrhofrs, sAo
Boonums and the descendants Of mo
old Dutch settlers who worked their
farms around Brcuclslyn when Peter
Stuy"csant was Governor of New AM
sterdam. On the cast end We
have the Conklings, the Hallocks,
tho Howclls, the Huntings, and a
half u dozen others, who settled
round about Southold in sixteen hun
drcd and something. Thirteen families
came oyer in tho ship, many bringing
not only their household effects, but
even their tombstones with them. For
good many years they were an isolated
community, and the descendants Of the
original thirteen married and intormar-
ricd until everybody east of Riverhead
is related to everybody else.
They are all my cousins down here"
SAID gentleman to me on the train
one day. "All cousins except one old
darby, and always call him uncle"
This universal cousinship is confusing
to ono who is not versed in Long Islam Il
genealogy. 1t is not safe to express
an uncomplimcntary opinion of any
body. The chances arc ten to one that
you arc talking to his double cousin and
that incidentally you are abusing a
more or less distantrelativco OF your own.
While there is only one west end to
Long Island it has two east ends 1t is

a large island lying in Great pcconio
lay, midway between tho two points of
the cast end of Long Island. TWAS set
tied by Lyon Gardiner, an English engi-
neer, carly in tho sixteen hundreds.
Shortly after it was made a lordship,
and the head Of the Gardiner family was
made Lord Gardiner by Queen Ammo.
The island, together with estates in
liasthampton, have remained in the
possession of the Gardiner family ever
since. 1t is run more like one Of the
great Southern plantations than any
thing else we havo in the North here,
and the island is Il most charming and
interesting place to visit.
Until few years ago there were sew
ercal houses along tho sound shore
which bore the marks of British cannon
balls shot into them during tho war Of
1872. The Conkling house at Southold
was notable example of these. 1t was
from this Conkling family that Roscoe
Conkling was descended, and later the
present head of tho Conkling family dis
tinguished himself by raising the cele-
brated race horse Rarus.

be extended almost indefinitely.
Tho Urnnt Irn, .l,n
ment of Long Island has been the Long
Island railroad. That institution has
| generally been run on the principal that
Long Island was created for the purpose
of supporting the railroad. Tho natives
are inclined TO take Il different view of
the matter and tho entente cordidze be-
tween tho railroad and tho people is
frequently badly strained.
Long Island, and especially the cast
end, is the market garden of New York
and Brooklyn. Asparagus, strawberries,
tomatoes and cauliflowcrs seem to grow
we'll on tho light, sandy soil, and they
arc cultivated to a remarkable extent.

remarks that with few good hotels
