AN INTERESTING DECISION.


Not long ago wave of what is called
popular Indignation" was rolled over this
town on account of the discovery that the
selectmen had hired help to assist them in
defending the town against the attacks of
che consolidationists. This wave was ener-
getically pushed by the consolidationists,
who saw in 1t an opportunity to further their
pet scheme, which had received serious
setback in the decision of the legislature
against them. They were aided by all the
little politicians who wanted new deal, and
many honest and well meaning citizens
"jeined in." As result, when the political
conventions were held the selectmen were
more or less summarily thrown overheard,
for the alleged reason that they could not be
reelected. It is their turn now. The decis.
ion of the Supreme court of the State in the
case of Farrell vs.. the town of Derby estab-
fishes the legal right of the selectmen of this
or any other town in the State to defend the
town when it is attacked. The Supreme
courts decision is not 80 useful for the pur-
poses of the consolidationists as the report
of the investigating committee was.

long upper lip surmount mouth which

Zola's programme, according to the Hague
Dagbled, is this: After ella Bette Humainen
will come ''L'Argent, ]" which will deal with
Bourse speculation, and to certain extent
with politics. Then will follow Tia Guerre," I"
treating of the army, the war of 1870, and
containing a long dissertation on the SUR
render of Sedan. The next book will con-
clude the Rougon-M -Maquart series, and will
tell us how all the characters not already
killed off will end. As soon as the series is
completed, which will be in 1891, N. Zola
intends to devote himself exclusively to the
stage. He will then be So years of age, and
will confine himself to the production of
original plays-that is to say, plays which
have not been adapted from his novels.
One of the cheering things about the year
that has just ended is that in these last
twelv months the total number Of immi-
grants has been about hundred thousand
less than the number in 1883. The years
figures are also of interest as enabling us to
round out the complete record of seventy
years-the period during which accurate, or
fairly accurate, statistics have been kept.
The full force of the accessions to population
from this source is only to be felt when the
figures of the whole period are taken togeth-
er. Altogether it may be said in round
numbers that we have received from foreign
countries in that time about fifteen million
people, of whom Great Britain has sent about
six million (nearly three and a half million
being from Ireland alone); Germany about
four and a half million, Norway and Sweden
about eight hundred thousand, and France
about three hundred and fifty Thousand.

OIL EN CHIN "a.

The Standard Oil company will have to
wake up If it intends to supply the Cinnamon
in China with oil. There is nothing China
man appreciates more than being able to save
the most trifling sum, and it is because of it's
being tride under the cost of American oil
that Russian kerosene is finding such de-
mand in Shanghai. From January to July
of the present year 225, 900 cases of Russian
kerosene oil were used at Shanghai, against
353, 900 cases of American; that is, Russia
sent 40 per cent. and America go per cent. of
the oil taken. But the Russian expectation
is not yet two years old and up to short
time ago the American producers had the
market to themselves. somewhat similar
report is received from Manila, our consul
there stating that in consequence of the ar
rival of cargoes of Russian oil the price of
American oil had fallen from So 25 to So. rs
per case, the Russian selling at s2.6219 per
case.
It would be a pity if the Standard Oil
company should be driven out of China.
Probably it will not be.

It was on one of our rarely beautiful No-
vember days that I found my way to the
Stanford residence on California street. I
had gone to have chat with Mrs. Stanford
In regard to the educational advantages the
Leland Stanford, Jr., University proposes to
confer upon women. As many have never
seen the lady patron of California, will
speak of her first.
While she led the way to the library I no
ticed that she was of medium height, plump
of figure, with wealth of golden brown
hair such as belongs to women who have
hazel eyes. She wore gown of creme white
moire, fastened at the throat by q miniature
medallion brooch containing her dead sons
face when he was mere lad. The likeness
was surrounded by single row of pearls,
and she also wore pearls in her ears.
"You have come to talk on favorite
theme of mine, and one to which Mr.. STAN

boy will not only be taught engineering the
oretically, but he will know how to build
and run an engine practically. and will be
encouraged to have as much pride in his
skill as do those who devote themselves to
medicine or law"
"Will there be any difference between the
collegiate course of boys and girlss"
sNone whatever. Girls will be given the
same opportunities to study the professions,
music, drawing and the mechanical pursuits,

sex woula naturally impose. It is our de-
sire that all branches shall be studied with

A HAPPY NEW YEAR,

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The young expect a happy new year, and
those of more experience hope that the new
year may be happier one than the old. 1t
is well to enter the year with as much hope
and courage as can be mustered. Troubles
are sure to come, but most of them are en-
durable by most people. Very many who
did not expect to get through last year well
have, as they can see in looking back, made
more comfortable progress than they ex-
pected. 1t will be so with many this year.
Therefore let us hope, and thus armoFed fight
as consistently and bravely as possible. 1t is
good way to begin the new year by wishing
everybody (oneself included) happy new
year, and good way to live through it in
trying to make it happy for others.

drinking on the sly is worse thing for
the young than saloon drinking; expresses
a wish to see the whole question taken out

having failed to reform drunkards and check
drunkenness, it might be well to give the
Christian religion fair trial in the premises.

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, &C
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usuilly ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

How ~ es Ca" CURED

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"Ny daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size of pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
