park, just about on the border of Spring field and Longmeader. It didn't have none of your splendid large trees, and such things left over from Noah's flood, but there was deers there all along up the sides of the hill, and about everything that mon- ey could buy. A whole side hill set out to Rhododendrons that cost thousands of dollars. Blrches that come over from Nor way or some such place, nd 'twan't no small matter to pay for them. The man that owned it all, he was another of your rich fellers. His house and barn are jest beau tiful. You never seen such stalned glass winders in all yer life. We drove right up next to one, and seen how it was fixed -all pieces of bottles, all sorts of colors, all fixed in nice, nd stuck into bed of putty, nd there you are. Nd the man, he's give it all to the city of Springfield when he dies. So they're gettin' road made between that nd the next park now. A man told us about it that uster live ln Monson, and thinks of goln' back.
 Before we got to the city park, sure enough, there came the electrical cars, and drove right past us without any horse, nd let out lot of picknackers. They were hayin' grand old time. They brought their lunch baskets.
 Noahs Ark was down there in the pond nd there was rabbits, nd goodness what is the use in my tryin' to tell what they was. Everything was rustic, and it was all jest as nice. But it want bit rustick CT or nicer than Flynt's park in Monson We wouldn't have it that Monson was { goin' to be out done, nd so we drove o1 home. If it rained before we got there whose business was it? We'd had scrumptious time, and didn't dissolve un til the Great Hearts left us. And then l for one, found myself yours truly,

THE deaths within two days of Gen. Sher- man, the second best known and famous gen. eral of the late war, and of Admiral Porter, one of the quartette of great naval command CTS, is striking combination of events. Porter had been long ailing, and evidently near his end, but Gen. Sherman bade fair to round out many more years of an honored life. Porter died on Thursday, Sherman on Saturday. There will be proud place ir American history for both names.

THE New York Herald has been polling the democratic members of different state legisla- lures to ascertain their preference as between Cleveland and Hill for the next presidential candidate. Total result: Cleveland LIS, Hill 199, in doubt 276. Connecticut's vote Cleveland 91, Hill g, in doubt 6. New York the state of both candidates, votes Hill 31 Cleveland 2, in doubt AZ, and is the only state in which Hill has the lead. Cleveland's re cent declaration against free silver coinage however, would have made difference in the western and southern states had it been made before the Herald made it's poll.

ANOTHER woman has been murdered in the disreputable part of London known as White chapel, where so many mysterious murders of women have baf1ed all effort to trace the murderer during two past years.

SOME ill-feeling seems to have been caused in General Sherman's family. and in some other quarters, over the administration of the Roman Catholic rite of extreme unction to the general when he was thought to be dying. One of the generals sons is particularly in- dignant at one New York paper for intimating that some of the Catholic members of the family surreptitiously procured the attend ance of priest at the death-bed, though the general is no Catholic. In reply, his brother, Senator Sherman, very sensibly says the rite in question was acceptable to him, and would have been acceptable to the general if he had been conscious, though neither of them is a Catholic They feel, in this matter, that any sincere appeal to the Deity, at such an hour, whether it be in the form of a prayer or a rite, is a proceeding in which they can rever- ently join. There was nothing surreptitious in the preceding in question If the mem- bers of General Sherman's family desired the presence of priest, both the general and the senator would feel that their wish should be complied with. No religious rite could do harm to the st.D or body of the dying man, and If it could do no good even, beyond con- forting the mourning family, that would be reason sufficient for it's observance.
 ME. GREENE, of Norwich, has introduced the following resolution in the house, drawn up by Augustus Brandegee, of New London
 Whereas, The differences of opinion be- tween the two houses of this general assembly touching the election of state officers concern the peace, good order and welfare of the state, and good citizens thereof; and

As between the trees about Lafayette Park,
which are said to conceal the statue Of Lafay-
cite, and the statue, the choice OF the people is
with the trees and if either must go it must be
the statue. The trees have been there a long
time and they are grand and beautiful trees.
The statue has been there only a short time and
it is a fine statue. Neither interferes with the
other and they should remain as they are. But.
as we have said. if either is to be removed it
should be the statue. There arc numerous sites
for the statue better adapted for it than the
much criticised one it now occupies. 1t can be
easily moved without injury, but these stately
trees. the growth of many years, can
never be replaced. A shocking case Of
tree-murder was perpetrated when num-
Der Of fine trees were cut down to make
room for the Lafayette statue, and it is time

culture to make them loving and intelligent
