Notes of the Diamond.
 According to the latest idea expressed by the State league magnates, the Plainville- Bristol combination is not expected to join.
 New Britain is still wavering between the State and Central leagues and is waiting for the State league meeting be- fore deciding.
 Norwich Record.-Hugh Reddy of Bridgeport has not given up all hopes of Norwich joining the State league. A let ter was received from him this week. Nor wich, however, has not taken steps in this direction, and it is very probable that base ball will be conducted this season on the basis of 1S90
 Morris Quirk will probably sign with Meriden this year. Southington will have battery from Pittsburg for this season. Contracts have been forwarded. The Yale freshmen will play the West Haveners at West Haven Fast day morn ing, weather permitting. Base ball enthusiasts in Bridgeport are leaning very favorably towards the Gen. tral league schedule. Osborn Lyman, the crack third baseman | of last years Southington team, has signed N1GA w eSG I1dfel duu WILL cdpGdln In6 team.
 The Bristol-Plainville combination feel chagrined at the loss of Bowers of Yale, who occupied the box for Plainville last year. Bowers has aspirations for the Varsity team, and the association rules bar him from signing and playing with | prof of2ssionals. He now holds second place for the Varsity team, with prospects of | occupying the box permanently. LOUISVILLE, March 19.-Manager Chap man telegraphed to-day that he had signed l Bob Petit of last seasons Milwaukee club | for second base. Petit is the man about whom Milwaukee and New Haven had such bitter fight last season. He will cover second for Louisville, Shinnick going to l third.

The Late Miss Lillian Post-Mother
 and Daughter Dead.
 Many friends mourn the death of Miss Lillian Post, who was for the past three years bookkeeper at Perry's carpet store on Chapel street, and who died last Satur- day in Sandy Hook, Conn.,, where the fu- neral took place last Monday. Deceased had endeared herself to many by her oblig- ing disposition, sunny temper, suitability and estimable character. About three weeks ago she was called home to Sandy Hook by the illness of her mother, whom she most devotedly watched and cared for and who died last week of pneumonia. Owing to her un1emitting watching at her mothers bedside she became exhausted, and the day before her mother died threw herself down upon bed and fell asleep near an open window, catching cold which in her worn condition rapidly developed in- topneumonia, which caused her death. Only few moments before she died she rose up saying she felt much better, and sat down in chair. Her physician, who was present, congratulated her upon her ap- parent improvement. Hardly had he ceased speaking when she became exceed ingly i'll, and in few moments was dead. Deceased leaves to deeply mourn her death and that of her mother, father, Samuel w. Post, who is one of the respected far mers of Newtown, and brother. She was an only daughter. Her brothers wife, who resides with her husband at the old homestead, is very low with consumption.

BREAST OF MUTTON.

The French know how to make moi
only palatablc, but delicious dish oil
this piece of mutton which American,
generally use only for soup. The secret
lies IN long and slow cooking. Put ovcI
the fire sufficient hot water to cove
it, and simmer until the bones slip oui
easily, seasoning with salt and pepper
when half done. Take out, and remove
the bones; press the meat between two
plates and let it stand until firm and
cold. Then score the mutton, and spread
with mixture of chopped parsley and
sweet herbs, with onions, rubbed through
aspoonful of butter and seasoned with
salt and red pepper; sprinkle thickly
with bread crumbs, dot with bits OF
butter aud bake light brown. Dish OF
hot platter, garnish with little mound:
OF boiled or steamed rice, and serve will
brown sauce. Rub through the gravy
in the pan two tablespoonful of Drowned
flour, large cupful OF the broth i,
which the mutton was cooked, and finish
the seasoning with teaspoonful OF
Worcestershire sauce. This is n very
economical dinner, as the broth in which
the meat was boiled will furnish q good
soup with tomatoes and other vegetables.

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE

Gods of the descrtl Yc are they
We shun from childhocd's earliest breath.
Dur passing joys are but your prey;
We wait tho hours from birth to death
Over soft lawns where blossoms sleep,
Under warm trees where love was born.
see your naughty shadows creep,
And whit to meet ye there forlora.
Afar on ancient sands ye rest,
Carven instone, where ancient thought
Vrapt ye in terrors--shapcs unb:est,
Dreadful by might of ages wrought.
But not alone on Egypt's shores
Sleeps the great desert: everywher,
Where gladness lived and lives no moro,
There is desert OF despair
Strange messengers! Your brows of gloom
Haunt every creature born of earth:
Ye follow to the darkened room;
Ye watch the awful hour Of birth.
Ye show the lovely way-side rose,
Whose antique grace is born anew,
Toeyes of grief. Grief only knows
How tender is the sunsets hue.
Gods Of the desert! BIZ your hand
Through the sal waters ar, we brought
into high and peaceful land
Todrink Of fountains else unsought.
