WATERBURY, Conn, Nov 9, 1892. Grover Cleveland, Esq:
 Dear sir-We hear that you think some of moving to Washington, D. C., next spring and living in the same house you were in before. We have some elegant styles of Weber and Shoninger pianos in mahogany, walnut ebony and oak cases. Our practice pedal softens the tone to a whisper so that the children can practice without disturbing the rest of the family. We wish to send you one on approval as we are willing to give you the same in- ducements that we give our customers here and elsewhere. If the piano does not prove entirely satisfactory you can return it to us at our expense. If you are not prepared to pay cash for it we can give you easy terms, you paying a small sum every month until the whole amount has been paid. Should you have sickness in the family or lose your job we are always willing to extend the time of payments. We wish particu- larly to call your attention to our new style, 25, which is made on a strictly low tariff basis. Confident of receiving your order, we are
 Very Truly Yours,
 B. SHONINGER & Go,
 J. H. CHRISTIE, Manager.
 175 Bank street, Waterbury,.
 P. s. We would have written YOU sooner but was not sure you were going to move. B. s. & Go.

The democratic clubs and all members of the party who desire to join with them, will parade the principal streets, visiting every ward. The Amer ican, Canadian and German bands have been engaged, and cadet companIes and drum corps will also be in line. A large number of carriages have been engaged and the parade promises to be big one. Major F. A. Spencer will be grand mar shal, and will have as aids: Captain A J.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Naugatuck democrats will assist in the big parade here this evening. Nearly 100 of them will arrive on the 6:56 D. m. train, returning bp special train about Il o'clock.
 New Haven, Bridgeport and Water bury did great things on election day. They showed what the people think of the demand for increased representation in the legislature. Wherever that issue was pressed home to the voters there were increased democratic majorities.- New Haven Register.
 The democrats claim that Secretary of State Walsh sent out blanks for returns of moderators which were so compli- as moderator, would be unable to make a proper and lawful return, thus delay ing and complicating an official an- nouncement of the result of the election.
 The Hartford Courant has mail re- turns now from all but about twenty towns in the state. They show no change whatever in the results as an- nounced Wednesday by this paper, Cleveland's plurality is 5.369. Morrs's majority is 1,209, but it fuctuates with almost every towns return, and will be altered considerably by the figures sent to the state secretary. More scattering votes are almost sure to turn up. The returns sent here show evident "outs'' in this respect. But they are all small and there is no apparent possibility of their affecting the result or even ma terially changing MT Morris's large ma jority. It's too big to melt. There were two counterbalancing errors in the legislative roll, corrected by later re- turns. William R. McGaughey of Groton, reported a republican, is re- turned as a democrat, and William H. Churchill of Portland is a republican, not a democrat as. the record had it. The Bridgeport Standard of last night announced that Congressman Robert E. DeForest may resign his seat in order to occupy a position on the superior court bench. There are two vacancies in the supreme court, which will probably be filled by promotions from the superior court, thus leaving two places for demo. cratic aspirants, under a democratic governor. If Mir DeForest should resign from congress the governor would have to order another election in the fourth 1 district.
 A Shelton man was in Meriden yester | day afternoon and told of how very much surprised and chagrined Allen w Paige. speaker of the last house and z
 republican candidate for reelection, fell over his defeat by Randall. the fusior | candidate. The Shelton visitor says ht
 passed Paige on the street just after tht
 result was ma le known and the speaker
 of the house was actually crying witt disappointment and rage. Between hi
 sobs he made threats of contesting tn,
 election of Randall. It is good bettine
 that no democratic tears were shed owe
 the defeat of the nutmeg czar.

The "Garterphone."

From the San Francisco Examiner
An ingenious little instrument
called the garterphone has recently
been invented, which, attached -
lady's garter, registers the distance
she walks each day. The phys
culture craze has put an end to the
reign of the lapguid belle. Women
20 in for all kinds outdo Dr. sports, and
just now walking is the fad. The
heroine of the hour is the woman
who has walked the greatest number
of miles in q day. Hitherto it has been
impossible 10 determine to nicely
the distance covered in q given time,
as when day is spent in the devi
ating peregrinations OF shopping
tour. Now the young woman proudly
exhibits her garterphone to admiring
friends, and 1t IL not unusual for the
little machine to register five or six
miles, and even ten occasionally. The
young woman who was too lazy to
walk and yet did not wish to tie en-.
tirely out of the race sat il the ham,
mock all day enjoying novel, while
she swung her pretty foot back and
forth, thereby attaining the same re-
suit on her garterphone IS her more
energetic sister.

Prices for Human Flesh.

From Frank Leslie's Weekly.
The story of the Austrian mission
aries who recently escaped from
Khartoum, as published in the Lon
don Graphic, is one of extra ordinary
interest. They confirm the report that
Khartoum has been practically laid
waste by the Mahdists and that Om-
durham, adopted as the seat of gov.
eminent, has now q population of
100, 200. Only few years ago it was a
struggling village; now it extends for
over six miles along the west front of
the Nile. Among it's more am bilious
public buildings are the palace of the
khalifa, the mosque, the Mahdi's
mausoleum, the barracks of the j
hadieh and the slave market. Omdur-
man Is not the only slave market iu
the Soudan. According to Father
Ohrwalder, one of the escaped cap
tives, there are important markets
also at Ell Fosher and Bent Shangul.
These, however, are not so much
markets as collecting and sorting sta
tions, and the trade transacted is
strictly wholesale. Thence the pick
of these human chattels are sent to
Omdurman, where no time is lost In
offering them tor sale. The market is
q large stone building situated ia the
busiest part of town. 1t has
a raised veranda and an inclosed
open space in front. The dealers as
semble in groups on the veranda,
where, reclining on straw mats, they
smoke their nsrgilehs and drink their
coffee. The prices of the slaves vary
according to the purposes for which
they are required. Able. bodied men
fetch from $40 to S25, young boys from
20 to $3.50, women suitable for domes.
tic service from SIS to 500. The high.
est prices are paid for young and
pretty girls varying from 10 to 16
years of age.

Tipping i'm the Theatre.

From the New York Recorder.
The delicious perfume of brandy
permeated the east side of the orches-
ira circle of the theatre, and every
man turned around to see who had
dropped flask on the floor. No one
looked guilty, and the rising of cur
tain prevented further investigation.
AS the curtain was rung down again
on this act two gentlemen from the
suspected portion of the auditorium
arose ID leave.
Going out agaiu?" asked lady
who was with them.
"Just moment" replied the elder
ly man.
Stay long enough to bring back
more of thOse-n
The man smiled and hurried out.
Entering cafe near by he called for
two cocktails, and while he stood
drinking directed the bartender to
make four more plums.
The bartender took four nice Jumps
of sugar and laying them in q saucer
sprinkled brandy on them. Then he
wrapped each lump in piece OF
waXen paper as caramels are done up
and placed them in a little brown
bag. The gentlemen took them and
went back into the theatre. where he
quickly distributed them among
the ladies of his party. They placed
them in their handker chiefs and as
the curtain went up again quickly
slipped them between their pearly
teeth and the same scent of brandy
was waited through the auditorium
Nice way to take your brandy isn't

French Substitute for Butter.

The London Iropmonger saws that
under the name of "Le Dansk,n there
Is being introduced into England by
NJ. Augusta Pellevin, of Paris, "a
butter substitute which appears to
possess the merit of being wholesome
as well as economical. Its manufac
ture has just been begun at large
works which have been erected at
Southampton, and which were re-
Gently opened" The basis of "Le
Dansk" is the fat obtained from
freshly slaughtered cattle, which is
first converted into oleomargarine,
and afterward treated and made into
lie Dansk."
The process consists in first reduc-
ing the fat to small pieces of uniform
sizs in special machines and then
melting them at temperature OF so ,
centigrade. 1t is then transferred in
q liquified condition to water jack eted
tanks, In which 1t Is kept for about
Two hours and q half at the same tenn
perature. After this it is drawn off
into shallow vessels, where it remains
for thirty six hours at q tempera
ture OF So cen tigrade, during which
time 1t assumes crystalline con-
dition. The product now consists of
oleo and stearine, and these are sepa-
rated by means OF hydraulic presses,
the oleo being pressed out and the
stearine remaining in the press cloths.
The oleo is then placed in churns
with certain proportions of new milk
and oil and some pure butter, and the
ingredients are churned for fifty
minutes. Tho contents of the churns
are then removed and cooled in iced
water, and the margarine is after
ward placed in mixing machines.
Here it is sailed and thoroughly in
corporated, and afterward packed in
boxes and baskets tor the trade.
