Paris and Balzac.

As Dr. Johnson could not live away from Fleet street, so Balzac was ever returning to the beloved mud and dust, the rain and fickering lights, the crowds on the boulevards, and the Loneliness of those dismal cutthroat streets which he has shown as in a stereoscope at the beginning of the ''Hitoire des Treize." "Oh, Paris" he evclaims with enthusiasm, The that has not admired thy somber landscapes, thy broken jets of light, thy deep and silent alleys without issue; he that has not listened to thy murmurs between midnight and two hours after, knows nothing of the true poetry which is in thee, or of thy large and curious con- trasts."
 And he proceeds to sketch the Rue Soly in colors at once ignoble and over- towering. Ignoble It is the proper word for Balzac's subject matter, though unjust if applied to the man. He displays too vast an energy, too ex- tensive 8 knowledge of human nature, to be thrust outside the temple of fame on the score of his i'll manners. But the sculptor is more than the anato- mist, and the question of realism must be decided by contrasting the Venus of Milo with Balzac's supreme creation, the Venus of the Pere la Chaise. = Quarterly Review.

Equivocal Sentiments.

There is an old story about the mer- chant of Milwaukee, who, during the war of the rebellion, being an excellent hand at sketching, drew most admira- bly, on the wall of his store negro's head, and underneath it wrote, in a manner worthy of the Delphic oracle, 'tDis Union foreber" Whether the sentence meant loyalty to the Union or not was the puzzling question which the gentleman himself never answered, always replying to inquiries, ''Read it for yourselves, gentlemen" Thus it came to be 8 saying in the town that ''no one knows how dat darkey stood on de war question"
 Another similar story of more recent origin is about 8 question which is puzzling the young ladies who attend 8 western female college. It seems that one of them discovered that some per son had written on the outer wall of the college, ''Young women should set good examples, for young men will fol- low them" The question now per picking the heads of several of the young ladies of the college is whether the writer meant what was written in 8 moral or in an ironical sense.-Bos- ton Gazette.

WAKING UP.

The water power at Falls Village has aken longer nap than Rip Van Win kle did, but its owners are beginning to realize that it is high time to wake up and go to work. While the Housatonic valley has been asleep the Naugatuck valley has become & perfect bee hive, notwithstanding Nature gave the Housa- tonic valley every advantage. not only ln water power to drive the wheels of business but also gave it good farming lands as we'll as magnificent scenery to attract the city bankers, brokers and capitalists to build summer residences here.
 The boards of trade at New Milford and Ct Burlington are taking steps to establish more manufacturing in their respective towns and we are glad to ob- serve there is bright prospect that the unlimited water power at Falls Village will soon be utilized. With New Mil ford, Falls Village and Ct Burlington thoroughly awake, the inspiration will spread to other towns and the Housa- tonic valley will become prosperous and denseIy populated. The New Milford Gazette of July 10 says:
 s'The old water power company at Falls Village feel the progressive tend encies that are pervading the Housston- ic Valley and talk of recognizing. They have asked Engineer Hull of Bridgeport to look over the old works, make surveys and measurements and determine if possible the probable cost of putting the whole in good order. They nfe aware that they have mag nificent water power and sensibly tninA that it ought to be utilized. If water powers at Falls Village, New Milford and other places along the river be util- ized, the condition which Engineer Hull says ought to exist-a valley swarmipg with manufacturing and population from Falls Village to Derby-may yet be realized. ~ sss
 Since writing the above we have as- certained that Engineer Hull has visited Falls Village. He found the works in excellent condition and thinks the utilization of the water power there en- tirely practicable.

Coal from Peat.

A St. Petersburg journal states that a Russian civil engineer, M. de Nicaloff, has succeeded in producing fuel from peat greatly resembling anthracite coal. The inventor has obtained patent for his process, which is said to be accom- plished by the aid of certain chemicals, and lately an imperial commission has been engaged in experimenting with the fuel, the result having been very favorable. The peat was found to give little less heat than ordinary coa1, but more than fir or birch wood, which is largely used on railways and steamers and in factories in Russia. In other respects, however, the peat is superior to coal, being cheaper, con- taining but Q small percentage of sul- phur and being much smaller in bulk. The artificial fuel throws off no dirt and emits no smell, while burning with a clear wlite flame.

Arrested for Their Fun.

There was some excitement in Shel- ton on Wednesday afternoon over the arrest of two young men, Olin Shelton and William Bildwel of Huntington Center, aged respectively nineteen and twenty years.

 had heard that no ruler of Muccat for the last hundred years had died a natural death, and was interested when, in our conversation, the Imam himself introduced the matter of this e1traor- dinary fatality among the sovereigns of his country.
 'Is it true," ventured to ask, ''that no Imam for hundred years has died in his bed2"
 Certainly not" said he, with per fectly grave face. "Let me see-four of them have died in bed"
 "And they were not assassinated, thenf"
 Well" he said, ''it is true that they were found under the mattress instead of on top of it, but they unquestionably died in bed"
 They had been smothered by their heirs apparent.

A PLAIN, EVERYDAY MILLIONAIRE.

Jay Gould's Lack of Style Surprises the
 Observers at the Hot Springs.
 One of the shabbiest hacks in Hot Springs bumped and rattled along the road in front of the Park hotel just as the small band of baseball cranks were returning with hoarse voices and per spring hands from the field where the St. Paul team had snatched victory from the Cincinnatis. The hack was open, and on the back seat sat a little man with great many wrinkles in his face and gray hairs in his dark beard. Beside him sat very pretty girl with a sailor hat and a jaunty air to match. Then vis-a-vis was a young man of very small importance if appearances were to be trusted. The dust raised by the shufling horses and rickety rig had not subsided before a New Yorker among the baseball oranks said irrever- ently, '"There goes old Jay"
 Everybody turned at once, and as if to gratify the curiosity of some of his subjects Mr. Gould hooked his umbrella into the hack1nan's neck and signaled him to wheel about. Then as they passed we all had a good look at the 'sLittle Wizard," and the New Yorker further identified the pretty girl and the commonplace young man as George Gould and his young wife, about whom thousands of young men raved when she adorned the stage as Edith King don.
 Another hack of equally plebeian as- pect-the climate will be colder here when the supply of motheaten chariots and spavined steeds runs out-followed in the wake Of Jay Gould's, containing , miss Helen Gould and Dr. John P. Mum, of New York. the physician who accompanies the railroad magnate on all his journeys. The Gould party arrived on their special car, and they got into the hackman's hands of course. Even the wonderful strategic skill of MT. Gould could not save him from the common fate of all who get out at the Hot Springs terminus.
 It is my belief that MT. Gould visits Hot Springs from time to time to study the hackmen, the druggists, the hotel keepers and the rest of the f1nanciers here. Anyhow he drove all over the town and looked at the new hotels, the building boom, of which many new stores are the result, and paid the hackmen without a protest, which as tonished them no doubt.-Cor.

A Five Years Contract.

Here is what we find in the Bridge port Standard of July 9th concerni ng Frank E. Clark former resident of Salisbury, Conn: The county com missioners yesterday closed a contract with Frank E. Clark, the present con- tractor at the jail, for the work of the prisoners at that instituti on for the next five years. It is considered very wise move on the part of the commis- sioners. MT Clark has had ten years experience in the business. and the county officers express much satisfac- ton in the manner of discipline in the workroom at the jail, and the way in which the business is conducted.
