The Hon. Pat Kelly Discusses Cleveland
and Grows Mysterious.
The Hon. Pat Kelly, of Minnesota, in an
interview in the Chicago Post. thus dis
coursed on the democratic outlook for 1892:
"Thcre IL nothing in this talk about Gov
ernor and Senator Elect Hill accepting Il
denomination for the governorship. That
has been promised to Roswell +. Flower.
Hill will GO the senate"
What of Hills plans for '92E'
Difficult to say. He'll not get the pres
idential nomination. But if he ~persists in

| delegation, or even with part of it, he'll be
able to knock out Cleveland. It's all very
we'll to say nominate a man whether he can
carry his own state or not-but it'g bad pol
tics. The fact of his inability to carry his
state would hurt him very much
"But why should Hill fight Cleveland,
knowing that he himself ls unable to get

why "a Girl Cant Throw "a stone.

The difference between q girls throwing
and a boys is substantially this: The boy
crooks his elbow and reaches back with the
upper part of his arm about at right angles
with his body and the forearm at forty-ive
degrees. The direct act of throwing is &C
complished by bringing his arm back with
a sort of snap, working every joint from
shoulder to wrist. The girl throws with
her whole arm rigid, the boy with his whole
arm relaxed. Why this marked and unmls-
taxable difference exists may be explained
by the fact that the c~lavicle or collar bont
in the female anatomy is some inches
longer and some degrees lower down thai
in the masculine frame. The long, crooked
awkward bone interferes with the full ant
free use of the arm. This is the reason
why a girl cannot throw a stone.-Wash

CRIMINAL

The court of parole is a novelty in
American legal tribunals. 1t owes its
existence to the action of the latest leg
islature in New Jersey. In accordance
with the provisions Of the enactment,
the court is to consist of the governor OF
the state, the chancellor, the six judges
of the court of errors and appeals, and
the keeper of the state prison. 1t shall
possess authority to release or parole
prisoners whose conduct in prison has
been of a meritorious character, and
who can furnish proof that immediate
employment will be found for them on
their discharge. The conditions of con-
tinued freedom are comparatively light
and simple. Once every month the con-
vict on parole must report to the COVER
nor his doings during that period and
state what amount Of money he has
made. The use of all intoxicating
liquors is strictly forbidden him, and he
must be prepared to prove that he is
leading a sober, Woodworking life. IL
he displays sufficient resolution and
self-respect to enable him to abide by
the terms of his agreement, until the
term for which he was sentenced has
fully expired, he is entitled to a certifi-
cate of discharge, which restores him to
the rights of citizenship.
The enactment brings up the whole
question of the possibility Of the rec
lamation of criminals. Prison officials
who have the seamiest side of life al
ways before their eyes, are not at al
sanguine of good results. But the New
Jersey legislators have evidently beef
impressed with the belief that criminal
are not all equally vicious. No doubt
the old offender is a hard case. He doe
not want work, would not do it, if b
could get it to do. Such a man mis-
takes leniency for folly, and uses ever,
new opportunity that liberty gives hir
to plunge more deeply into crime. Blu

emit position, may have been the passlo

result of callow youth. led astray b
older and worse offenders. In ever
way, it is sound public economy to al
tempt the reform of the criminal, whel
ever, wherever and however that ma
appear to be possible. The New Jerss
mon were influenced by motives of hi
manlty and sound policy when they il
stituted their court of parole.
There is one feature of the relea
conditions deserving of special CONNIE
dation. The report IN behavior al

Mary LYONS Power.

Mary Lyon was always ready for the
hardest task and she waited on God Will
ling TO bear trials He pleased to put
upon her. She prayed without ceasing,
whether over some needed Improvement
of buildings or the conversion of the
world. She was one of those rare char
acters who glorify God as much by what
she was as by what she accomplished.
Does any one ask what did she accom-
plish? point to the great change which
has taken place in the last 70 years in the
education of women. Not that she was
the sole factor in this attainment, but she
caused this work to be respected as it
never had been before. What was the
work she accomplished Was it simply
to promote the standard of literature?
No; her work was to put the education
of women on the same basis with men.
She founded an institution in which body,
mind and soul were equally developed
and literature, science and art each had
its place. In her seminary, Christ was
on the throne as much as in Heaven. The
large number Of missionaries who have
gone out from this institution is no acci-
dent. It is the inevitable result. Il Rev

Abandoned Farms.

The term abandoned FARMS is large
ly misnomer as applied to Connecticut.
Farms have been absorbed by neighbor-
ing farms for pasturage and buildings al
lowed to go to decay, because, from re-
moval or decease of owners, there was
none left to occupy. In many sections
this change has been going on for 80
wears. Yet it would be exceedingly diff
icult to secure list of such farms. at
forced sales, rural property brings very
low prices, often so per cent. less than it
was worth in the market 20 or 80 years
ago.
Most abandoned FARMS" where they
can be found, would be dear as residences
at any price. Land can be bought from
So per acre upward with or without
buildings, with or without water, shell

fruits and nuts, where few acres will
cover dale and glen, or land enough for
a sheep range or game preserve, will re-
ouire only very moderate investment.

The teachers meeting, last week, was
we'll attended, especially by teachers
and members of several town boards of
education near by. The topics were we'll
discussed and must do good. We trust
our teachers will be active and diligent,
not only to see that the pupils recite
well, but more, that they understand
each lesson thoroughly before another is
taken up. Each school in the county
will be visited during the school year by
members of the State board of educa-
ton. A gentleman appointed by the
State board will visit each town and
district and enquire into the cause and
reason why children who are so seldom
seen at school do not attend regularly
and enforce the law in respect to attend
anee, which is quite strict and has teeth,
