er their other lost liberties. After five hours
confinement in such loathesome prison
how refreshing the air of this glorious
hill top, Saratoga is a good deal of a hum
bug. A summer hotel should be situated
as this one is, on hill top, with plenty of
land all about it. The three principal
hotels of Saratoga are in the midst of the
village, and on the main street of the vii
lage-a street hardly more interesting or
picturesque than the main street of Hart
ford infinitely less so than the main street
of our own and only Litchfeld. The
United States hotel, which still holds its
own on top, has the additional disadvan-
tage of having the railroad Immediately
behind it; and along one of its sides the
narrow street, through which all the day
and half the night, carriages, omnibusses,
wagons and carts are rattling on their way
to and from the station. A more unsum-
merry position could not be imagined.
Yetall through the season the United States
is crowded with boarders, no one of
whom is paying less than So day for the
privilege. The attraction is in the abso-
1utely perfect manner in which the hotel
is kept, the large number of guests it
shelters, and in the fact that so many per
sons of prominence make it their summer
home. The springs this summer are in

further facts that he didn't know what the
form of our government was, whether we
had king or queen, who was the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania or the mayor of
Reading. He didn't know the difference
between republic and monarchy. Judge
Enlich peremptorily refused to make the

1t is hard to believe that there are places
where the Office really seeks the man, but
William NJ. Davis, Lberian, who is in
New York city on business connected with
the College of Liberia, says that there is
no struggle among his countrymen to get
Office. Oftentimes there is SO little desire
for Office that the president cannot find
cabinet officers of his own political faith
and has to go to the opposite political
faith. A few years ago the city of Mon
rovia wanted a city clerk, and the mayor
advertised for one in the newspapers, but
he was no more successful in this than in
appointing men to the Office. 1t finally
had to be abolished altogether, and now
Liberians. with nothing to do, devote a day
or SO to the duties of the Office, just as
farmers fix up country roads.
The test at Annapolis of plates used for
armor on modern war vessels demonstrat-
ed the superiority of the nickel plate of
French make. Tests were made upon the
| Cresote, nickel and Cammen plates. The
i conditions of the tests were three plates
six by eight feet, faced with 8 $40 inches
of steel, backed by seven inches of iron,
supported by three feet of oak timber, the
whole held in place by having arching set
into mound of earth. Eight-inch guns
fcharged with eighty five pounds of powder
and throwing steel shell conical in shape
and 210 pounds in weight, were used, the
distance ffor the targets being twenty eight
feet. The shot at the Cresote plate
! pierced the Target sndoocbtokev the
projeetile into three pieces. The point
of the projectile went through the three
inches of steel and penetrated five inches
into the iron backing. The shot. at the
nickel plate penetrated the 'arnor alfid re-
manned in the hole. The shot at the Cam
nell plate carried away almost the whole
of the three-inch steel plating from its
strong iron backing, the projectile going
clear through the iron backing and oak
supports, and came out of the mound of
earth at the targets back, twelve feet away
from the back of the plates. The Cammell
armor is of English make and was demon
strated to be of no use against the guns
that are now used in the navy.

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.
How a Greedy Butcher was PuI
fshed for Covetoushess.


Ished for Covetoushess.
A farmer who had bought a calf from
a butcher desired him to drive it to his
farm and place it in his stable, which he
accordingly did.
Now it happened that very day that a
man with grinding organ and dancing
bear, passing by that way, began their an
tics in front of the farm. After amusing
the farmers family for some time the or
gan man entered the farmhouse and asked
the farmer if he could give him a nights
lodging. The farmer replied that he could
give the man lodging, but that he was at
loss where to put the bear. After musing
a little he determined to bring the calf in
side the house for that night, and to place
the bear in the stable, which was done.
Now the butcher, expecting that the calf
would remain in the stable ali night, re-
solved to steal it ere morning. The far
mer and his guest were in the night awak-
ened by fearful yelling from the out
building. Both got up, and, taking Ian
tern, entered the stable, when the farmer
found. to his surprise, the butcher of
whom he had bought the calf in the grasp
of the bear, which WAS hugging him tre-
mendously, for he could not bite, being
muzzled. The farmer soon understood
the case, and he briefly mentioned the cir
cumstance to the owner of bruin, who, to
punish the butcher for his intended theft,
called out to the bear, Hug him, Tom
N.Y." which the bear did in real earnest,
the butcher roaring most hideously the
whole time. After they thought that he
had suffered enough they set him free, and
the butcher skunk off, glad to escape with
his life, while the farmer and his guest re-
turned to their beds.

THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.


The African slave trade is attracting the
attention of the civilized world in way
that promises its speedy extinction. An
anti-slavery conference is in session in
Paris under the leadership of that apostle
of liberty, Cardinal Lavigerie, who has de-
voted himself for many years With unsur-
passed energy and self-denial to the work
of arousing Europe to a sense of the satanic
horrors that exist in the dark continent
and along the lines of traffic in human
flesh and blood which lead from Africa to
Oriental slave markets. There appear to
be abundant proof that the inhuman traffic
still continues to a terrible extent. The
number of human beings kidnapped by
slave catchers is fully, on an average,
1000 day. Whole provinces in Africa
have been stripped of their inhabitants
and are desolate. A territory twice as
large as that of the United States is sub
ject in almost every part, and with hardly
any power to resist, to these devastations.
A resolution has been presented in con.
gress, recommended by the Committee Oh
Foreign Affairs, requesting the president
to enter into such arrangements as he may
deem suitable and proper with one or more
of the maritime powers of Europe for the
effectual abolition of the African slav,
trade Every civilized nation should has
ten to take action. The continuance of th'
atrocious slave traffic in Africa is dis
grace to the world.

STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET
JUST PRAISE.

The Waterbury, Americans is q very in
dependent newspaper, SO Independent that
it sometimes leans over backward, but it
feels compelled to praise the Republican
State ticket. Of General Merwin it says:
"A1ong with the substantial virtues of
character and good sense which have made
him trusted and influential in business
life, he has developed the personal graces
of tact, courtesy and goodfellowship which
80 well become the representative of the
people in Office and which add SO much to
his hold upon popular confidence and af-
fection." The American ventures into the
field of prophecy and predicts that Gov
ernor Merwin will make governor well
equipped for the wise and faithful dis
charge of all the administrative duties of
his Office, and adapted also to the require
ments of merely social and ornamental
functions, in the graceful discharge of
which the people take pride and satisfac-
ton AS to the other names upon the
ticket with General Merwin it has nothing
but praise.
The Americans praise is just. Never
has there been a better ticket put before
the voters of the State than this. 1t is one
which any good citizen can heartily sup
port.
