It is no exaggeration to say that the divorce principle is in it's practical shape and bearing haunting demon of discord, sowing dissension, suspicion, jealousy, preparing homes and families, athwart which it's black shadow falls, for division and dismemberment. It weakens and dis solves the bonds which would otherwise bind husband and wife in perpetual union in flower and fruit to the reverences, to the facilities, to the pieties, to the loyal alties and to the sanctities of home and of home-life.-[ Rev Dr P. V. Higgins.

w. B. Hall & Co.,, Bridgeport.

Strangers coming to Bridgeport are one and all, struck with the magnificent building now in course of erection at the corner of Main and Cannon streets. It is not nearly complet- ed, but enough of it can be seen to convey the impression that, when finished, it will be by far the handsomest as well as the most i'm posing mercantile structure in this part of the State. This great emporium, six stories high, a triumph of architectural beauty, shelters within it's massive walls of masonry the great dry goods house of William B. Hall & Co. Though for months past the erection of the front on both streets has been going on unin- terruptedly, it is fact that the business of the firm has not been interrupted for 1s day and great credit is due to Henry Sanford, the owner, for his skill and considerate kindness in so conducting the building operations as to cause no interference with or inconven- fence to the tremendous retail traffic con- stantly pouring in on the firm. For the fifth time in the history of this house has the en- largem of it's premises become an impera- tive necessity. This time the plans are such that when completed, as they will be by No yember next, it will be by far the most ex- tensive and attractive dry goods emporium between New York and Boston. In the lace and dress trimmings department, which has doubled in size, are to be found the finest la- ces, the richest lace trimmings and the larg- est variety of garnitures in the State. The ho- siery and gents furnishing department has undergone a similar expansion and contains every novelty the most fastidious taste may require. In the so called "Alcoyer situated near the elevator (the only elevator by the way, in any establishment in the city, the astonished visitor can see $100,0OO worth ot goods assembled in one room, sufficient to furnish dozen ordinary stores This i'm mense stock includes cotton underwear, P different varieties of corsets, everything ap pertaining to ladies' and children's under wear, besides fully $30,000 worth of silk goods of the most celebrated varieties, Saccarappa Guinet. etc. All goods in the silk depart ment, whether foreign or do1nestics are guar anteed. The secret of the success Of W. B. Hall X Go. lies in just one sentence, a correc, knowledge of the wants ot the public and tht ability to supply them promptly and at ths lowest possible cost.

ROSWELL v. NICHOLS AS A TYPICAL NEW
 HIGHLANDER.
 Roswell V. Nichols died in Stepney, last Sunday afternoon, between and 5 o'clock, in his 70th year. He was at tackled by grip some three weeks ago, from which he seemed to rally. Unfor- tunately, however, it aggravated dis eases which he had successfully resisted for years, but which at last proved fatal. He leaves 9 widow and three sons.
 MT Nichols impressed the writer and he repeatedly gave expression to his impress sion that Mr Nichols was man fitted for a larger sphere than he was occupying. His finely shaped head, his projecting brow, his keen, penetrating eye denoted possibilities which few acres of Connec- ticut's rocky soil could not develop. Had he gone West 40 years ago, he would have been heard from. His manner had the dignity that belongs to the conscious ness of undeyeloped powers and gave certain nobleness to his common place daily duties, showing that common place daily toll does not degrade the man, but that the true man ennobles toil. tie stood amid his rustic environment with

In New Canaan, Conn.,, live two old ladies who are interesting for their age, to say nothing of their virtues. Mrs Crabb is in her ninety-ffth year and she takes care of her younger sister, who is only ,ninety-two. The elder can walk a mile any time, and both hear, see and think with ease and alertness.

They have as a neighbor a Mrs Scofield, who is ninety five and has just knocked out the grip in one round and regained comfortable condition of health.

 The author who wrote s.I would not class among my list of friends the man who would needlessly set foot upon worm" could not have meant the apple tree worm or caterpillar that has so de- vastated this section of late.

Indeed, it is quite difficult to walk in some places here without treading on them and one might wish, as some tyrant monster of old is said to have done in regard to the human race, that they had but one neck, so that they all might be destroyed at one blow.

William Johnson of Hattertown, who has become insane, was taken to the re- treat at Middletown, Thursday, by Con- stable John H. Blackman. Johnson has been losing his mind for some time and has of late become rather violent. A few days ago, he rushed up and down the road with axe and saw.

which the doves fly in and out. Outside, at the trickling fountain, he has washed his feet and face and hands, bathing his throat and smoothing his beard with his wet fingers. He is rough, broad shoul- dered, poorly clad man in fez and skirt, his waist girt with wide sash ragged and torn. He is perhaps mammal, , a man who carries great weights on his back-a human beast of burden. His load, whatever it may be, is outside in the court. His hourly task is his daily bread; but he has heard the shrill cry from the minaret up against the sky, and stops instantly to obey.
 He enters the sacred building with his shoes in his hands. These he leaves at the edge of the mat. Now he is on holy ground. Advancing slowly, he halts half way across the floor and then stands erect. Before him is blank wall; be- yond it is the tomb of the prophet. For moment he is perfectly still, his eyes closed, his lips motionless. It is as if he stood in the antechamber of Heaven, awaiting recognition. Then his face lights up. He has been seen. The next instant he is on his knees and, stretching out his hands, prostrates himself, his forehead pressed to the f1ooL. This soli- tary service continues for an hour. The man stands erect one moment, with movement as if he said, "Command me l am here." The next moment he is
 
 slowly out and, noiseless, regains his shoes, bends his back to his burden and keeps on his way, his face having lost all it's tired, haunted look.-EE. Hopkinson Smith
