When Grant was in the heyday of his military glory he was the frequent re- cipient of tender epistles, which he turned over to his wife to answer Now, for lack of a greater hero to bow down to, the women of America are worshiping at the shrine of Jim Corbett. What will the dear creatures do if Negro Jackson puts Jim to sleep? They will have to transfer their idolatry to the successful politicians, actors and preachers.

WHERE ARE I'VE AT?

The present time table of the Phila- delphia & Reading road; and the pres ent time table of the Consolidated road, and the abandonment of the name "Housatonic Railroad" leads the trav- cling public and the residents of the Housatonic valley to enquire "Where are we st?'
 We'll, gentlemen and ladies. we are now at the mercy of two great monopo- lies. But don't let us borrow any trouble about that. Railroad corpora tions will sooner or later discover that it is for their interest to accommodate their patrons, and their would be pat rons-and offer inducements for pat ronage just the same as merchants and other business men offer inducements for patronage. The Consolidated road is proverbial for the excellent travelling facilities offered the public, and we are assured that when the spring and sum- mer time table goes into effect the resi- dents of the Housatonic valley will have all the train service they can req sonably ask for.
 The Philadelphia & Reading Co goes to extremes. At first it put on more passenger trains than the public needed or could patronize. Now it goes to the other extreme and does not run stuff cient trains to accommodate the public, but we have good reason to think that . time table will soon be adopted that will be of mutual benefit to the railroad company and to the public. Have pa tience. All things come to those who wait.
