The Dangerous "Sea-Poose."

Duffield Osborne, in an article on "Surf
and Surf-bathing. says: 1t may be well
to speak of another phenomenon not in
frequently observed. l do not recall
ever seeing the name by which it is
known in print, and, as the word is ig-
nored by Webs. err, shall invent my own
spelling and write it "sea-poose. This
term is loosely used on different parts of
the coast, but the true significance of it
is briefly this: There will sometimes come
at every bathing ground days when the
ocean seems to lose its head and to act in
a very capricious way. On such occa-
sions it often happeYs that the beach is
cut away at some one point, presumably
where the sand happens to be softer and
less capable of resisting the action of the
water There will then be found a little
bay indenting the shore. perhaps 10 feet
perhaps 10 yards. The waves rolling
into such a cove are DETECTED somewhat
by its sides and "set" together at its
head, so that two wings of a breaker, SO
to speak, meet, and, running straight out
from the point of junction, form sort
of double "undertow," which will, if the
conditions that cause it continue, cut out
along its course depression or trench of
varying depth and length. 1t can be
readily understood that such a trench
tends to strengthen the current that
causes it, and these two factors, acting
and reacting upon each other, occasion
wi at might be called an artificial under
tow, which is sometimes strong enough
to carry an unwary bather some distance
out III fashion that will cause him
either to be glad he is or to wish he
were, within the rectangle of the life
lines
have sometimes heard old surfmen
speak of what they call false poose,
but have never been able to find out
Just what was meant by the expression,
much less its causes and character. l
shall therefore leave the question for
those who delight to delve into the mys-
teres Of local nomenclature. IL Scribner's.

r,er,slation Against Gambling
Trusts.

IruSLb.
Sherman's Antitrust bill, when
introduced in the 50th Congress, met
with opposition in quarters not all
expected. There ale no party lines
on the bill, and it is supported and
opposed alike by both Republicans
and Democrats
Now, the 51st Congress after
elaborate amendment and shaping
so as to meet real objections, the
bill stands confronted BY grave con-
stitutional objections, How these
may ultimately turn out, 1t is use
less now TO inquire, because, II the
bill passes Congress and becomes
law, the trusts and combines will
force It to run the gauntlet Of the
courts, and il will be practically
hung M till its constitptionality is
fixed by the Supreme court OF the
United States.
Bot there IS a class Of gambling
trusts or combines that gamble
away lie great crops Of wheat and
cotton.
These gambling operations are
carried ON under the euphomious
and high sounding titles of deal
in FUTURES" options" &c. But no
matter under what emphonism. the
vile plunderingof the farmer may be
carried on, it is all one to the farm
er, ruinous prices to him, and inord-
mate speculation TO the gambler.
The churches have denounced the
Ubiquitous traffic; but has signally
failed to make any impression for
good on it. Many Of the States
have passed stringent and severe
laws against the aboniination; but
thus far they seem TO be dead let
7 tiers on the statute book.
Bills have been introduced into
Congress to break IN the iBiquity;
they have been carefully and elabor-
ateIy drawn, but they are again con-
fronted with the grave question, has
Congress the power to passany such
bills2 So, if any such bills should
be passed, they would have to run
the gauntlet of the courts to decide
the question Of their constitution
atty.
Shall the National constitution
be amended so as TO give Congress
tins power beyond question? Mr..
Enloe, Of Tenn, answers the ques-
ton YES, BY introducing joint re-
solution TO amend the constitution
90 as 10 giSe Congress full and ample
power to rastIe with the monster
combines and trusts.
One burning question Of the day
for d . farmers Of the United State,
TO answer is, shall this power BE-
granted 10 the Congress? Is il
necessary? l. il expedient? !.

liens or TO the States, in granting
this power 10 the National Govern.

Tuesday evening, April 10. Had he lived
until July. he would have reached his
S0th birthday. He had been in remark
ably good health during his long life and
had lost hardly day through sickness.
About January |, he had II fall which de-
prived him of the use of his limbs and,
although he suffered no pain, he was
helpless, Dead up To the body" he
said. For several weeks, he insisted upon
sitting in his chair during the day. though
he was unable even TO dress himself. On
the 2sth of January, he went TO bed and
never arose. The hopelessness of recOv-
cry was apparent, for old age was upon
him, For about week before his death,
he was unable to take nourishment and
then, for the first time, suffered some

Greenfield, his father William Burr, be.
ing prominent resident of Burr's High
way. Fifty nine years ago, he married
Miss Currence Peck of Huntlngtown and
lived with her father for five or six years
before moving to the home, near by
which they have since occupied. Five
children were born to them, one daugh-
ter dying in infancy. The others wer'

Referring to the cases of G.. III. Turner
and George Turney of Bridgeport, ar
rested for trespassing on leased property
of the Pohtatuck rod and reel club, the
bridgeport Post says, evidently for Mr.
Turney, that he had been fishing on land
belonging to private parties, not leased
to the club; from some of these Mr. Tur-
ney had obtained permission to fish. lie
says that, when fishing on private
grounds, he was notified by II watchman
TO stop. Replying that he had permits
sion to fish there, MIR Turney agreed to
stop as soon as he reached the limits of
the clubs leased property. He next met
Lawyer O'Hara, he says, and was inform
ed that he was trespassing and would be
prosecuted. Mr. Turney claims that, al
though he may have been fishing on leas-
ed grounds, he was not notified by the
Waterman when the line was crossed, as
had been promised and says, further,
that the posted signs were defective.

The total expenditures for roads in
this State, last year, amounted to 81 ,l56,-
O06 "A. The largest amount was spent
in New Haven county, $50, Lac. Fair
field county was second with $l44,362.
The total sum expended by the towns in
the State for roads was 1921 ,467. In the
10 cities reporting, the roads cost $780,
1873 and the boroughs expended $67, s95.
New Haven alone spent $4,000 on its
streets and roads. Bridgeport spent $61, ;
651, Hartford $4S, 1877 and Waterbury
borough, spent ST., 5o7 and Ansonia $lo,-
2l5. Notwithstanding these large eN-
penditures, the public thoroughfares in
Connecticut are in no way as good as they
ought to be. The present Winter has
been the severest in years on the country
roads and, from every part of the State,
there is complaint of ruined road beds
the wheels of vehicles in the country
cutting through the best material used
