One Of the most interesting articles in the
current number Of the Century Magazine is
Mr.. John Bigelow's paper in which he brings
to light some Of the confidential correspon-
donce that passed between Mr.. Judah p.
Benjamin, Secretary of State for the Con-
federacy, and Messrs. Mason and Slidell, rep
resenting the confederate states at the courts
of England and France respectively. The
correspondence shows clearly that the great
obstacle to the recognition of the confederacy
by both England and France consisted of the
fact that slavery had been made its chief
corner stone. On commercial grounds both
governments were inclined to recognize 1t,
but the sentiment against slavery among the
people was so strong that no party dared to
recognize the Confederacy unless it would
give satisfactory guarantee that slavery
should be gradually abolished. This it was
not willing to do until its sarmies had bsen
defeated and ruin stared it in the face. Then
jeff Davis authorized special envoy to give
such guarantees, but Lord Russell replied
that it was then too late.

One OF the most interesting and puzzling
questions which New York politicians have
to deal with concerns the intentions of Gov.
Hill In regard to the executive office. He
was elected United States Senator last
January. but instead of promptly resigning
his gubernatorial Office, as most men would
have done under such circumstances, he has
held on, and apparently intends to hold on
until the time comes for him to take his seat
In the Senate. His idea is said to be that by
holding on to the Office he may be able to die
tate who the Democratic candidate shall be,
and ills even limited that under certain cir
cumstances he may even go so far as to point
to himself as the man. Such performance on
the part of most political leaders would work
their political ruin, but Hill has the Democ-
racy Of New York completely in his grasp,
and he controls them about as completely as
the old Southern STAKEHOLDER controlled his
slaves. The entire Democratic representa-.
ton in the legislature last winter followed
his commands as obsequiously as if he owned
1t body and soul.

Nervous Dyspepsia Cured BY

Statement of Great Importance to Every

Nervous dyspepsia is becoming so preva-
lent among women as to cause alarm in the
medical profession. Being naturally much
more sensitive and nervous than men, I'M
der any unusual strain upon mind and body,
or any severe sickness, the
Nervous System

such cases has been shown thousands of
times. 1t supplies the pure blood which the

ShIpbuIIdlng In Connecticut.

Connecticut is not usually looked upon as
a shipbuilding State. While Maine has
been famous, as was Athens, for her wooden
walls; Connecticut has been wrestling with
an unfavorable reputation for wooden nut
megs. But in the last year Connecticut has
been getting considerable reputation for the
wooden walls as well. Shipbuilding inter-
ests In Connecticut have been much helped
by recent change in the tax law. Formerly
vessel property was put upon the owners
Tax list at its full value, and tie tax
amounted to two per cent. This law drove a
large amount Of vessel property out of the
State, the hailing port of whole fleets being
changed from Connecticut to New York to
escape this taxation. This law has now
been replaced by a new law, which taxes
only the net income. This change has con-
tributed to make very prosperous season
for Connecticut ship yards. New yards
have been established at New London,
Bridgeport, and few other smaller places;
and work has been carried on in old yards at
Noank' Just east of New L1ndon, at Mys-
.ic' az Fort Neck. at Winthrop Point, at
madison, at New Haven, at West Haven
ana at Rocky Hill on the Connecticut
liser. The yard of Palmer & Sons,
AZ Noank is the largest shipbuilding
estaohsnment in the State. Last year
Ine yard employed 300 men and built, old and
new more tonnage than all the ether wards
OF Connecticut put together. The yard de-
liyered In 1890 twenty-six vessels aggrepat-
ing $4,000 tons; and this year SO far eleven
vessels aggregating over 5000 tons have been
delivered. Most of this years deliveries
have been barges, which are more largely
built In Connecticut than here. A great
many four-masted schooners are also built
in Connecticut, largely for the Connecticut
coasting trade with points west and south. 1t
is rare that one of theConnectlcut fleet chart
ers for point east of Cape Cod. The large
amounts of lumber and coal that are re-
quired for the railroads and manufactures
of the state gives employment for Its vessels.

The Boston correspondent of the Hartford
Courant sends some surprising information
to that paper. Speaking of Roger Welcott
and the Young Mems Republican club of
Massachusetts,, he says, Roger Wolcott, I
am inclined to think, is In advance of his
club here. he is about on line with what
1t was Intended to be when he was made its
president; but 1t has increased so greatly in
membership, and has been so open to new
corners, without discrimination as to their
views, that the original element in it is
swanped and 1t is not free from an average
representation of the politics of the party"
The Republican party of Massachusetts has
generally averaged pretty well as parties go :
and If the club has done no worse than get
to the level of the party. Mr. Wolcott is not
probably so far ahead of it or SO far above it
that he need feel lonesome.

Reports from Washington indicate that ne
gotiations are peuding for the closing of the
seal fisheries in Behring Sea for the next
twelve months. Whether the suggestion of
such close period proceeded from the
United States or from England is not quite
clear. Russia would have to be a party to
any arrangement Of this sort in order to
make 1t effective, inasmuch as she owns one
OF the largest seal preserves to the region
under discussion. An agreement of kind
might seem to imply the admission on the
part OF the United States that its jurisdiction
10 Behring Sea was not an exclusive one,
but that admission has been substantially
made already. The effect upon the seals of
such close period as is suggested would un-
doubleday be highly favorable. They are
now diminishing very rapidly, and unless
some means is promptly taken to prevent
their pursuit In the open sea they will soon
be exterminated. Another season of poach-
Ing as extensive and destructive as last
years will 90 far to bring about this result.
An arrangement Of the kind suggested,
pending permanent settlement of the ques-
tion, would seem to be for the interest of all
concerned.

The Board of Mayer and Aldermen of Ban.
gor are in deadlock over the election Of a
liquor agent. The four Republican alder
men are voting for one man, while the three
Democratic aldermen and the mayor are vot-
ing Tor another. Some years ago similar
deadlock happened in this city over the same
office, and the result was that the city went
without liquor agent. We do not remem-
Der that there was any special suffering in
consequence. and we are inclined to think
mat the people of Bangor will worry along
unuer sfmilar Conditions, especially as the
Commercial intimates that there is no serious
enforcement of the liquor law in that city at

"one stormy night in October" said a
well known railroad conductor recently,
81 was in mortal fear that the bridges, OF
which there are good many on the line,
would be washed away by the swollen
rivers Fortunately we passed nearly all
of them safely, but just as we drew near
the last bridge happened to be crossing
from one car to another and noticed a
strange, weird looking blue light dancing
up and down in front of the train. don't
know what possessed me to do it, but
rang the bell and brought the train to a
stop The engineer, brakeman and then
set out to discover the cause of the light,
but it had entirely disappeared and not q
trace of it was left. We went down the
track as far as the bridge, and found that
it had been completely washed away by
the stream, which was swollen, only few
timbers remaining to bear evidence that
bridge had once spanned the stream. We
were kept there for over two days, until
another bridge could be built, and, al.
though the other trainmen laugh at me
for it, earnestly believe that that spectral
blue light was placed by a divine Provi
dence to save us from an awful fate. ."-St.
