The question of the "great sea SER

episcopal sanction; but whatever may

rency TO belief in the existence of an
unknown marine monster of some kind,
that small sea serpents exist is most GER

exception of one or two species never quit
the water. As might be expected under
such circumstances they bring forth
their young alive, and these can swim as
soon as they are born.
Mr.. Bouienger tells us that their home
is essentially the coasts of the Indian
ocean and the tropical parts of the west

tropical America and extends northward

SOME PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS

These from the Minneapolis Tri-
bune:
The farmers of this fertile land will
east their ballots for the perpetHati0n
of policy which has increased home
consumption and has opened new mar
kets for their products, both in Europe
and our neighboring republics in South
America.
The business men of this country
will vote for four years more of an adj
ministration which has advanced COM
merce and industries at a greater and
more rapid stride than they have ever
before attained.
The thinking workingmen of this
country win record their votes for the
continuance of policy which has fos-
tered, sustained and stimulated every
American industry.
The veterans of the war for the
preservation of the Union will remem-
Der Resaca and Peach Tree Creek
next November as they remembered
those battles in 1888.
The "noise of the captains and the
shouting" have ceased. Now for the
steady work that will insure brilliant
Republican triumph in November.
Every patriot will vote for another
four years of an administration which
has upheld the honor of the American
flag wherever 1t has been assailed.

1t was 3 o'clock in the morning when
Mrs. Higinbotham shook her husband.

"Hiraml Hiramr' she exclaimed in a
whisper.
"U-ugh," he observed.
She gave him another shake.

with a rising infection indicating that he

She clapped her hand over his mouth.
"Sh-shr' she whispered, there's

"Aw," he growled, 1--WE ought to be
thankful they are not up stairs. Go to

Hiram, tell you" she insisted, with
another shake, there's burglars down
stairs | heard them. You go down
and see what they want"
maria" he protested, "Pll do moth

they want they can ask for it. That's

But you shall go down, Hiram, and

time.

Mrs. Higinbotham gave sudden
clutch at his arm.

"Well, DEAR" he said soothingly,
you'd better jump up and put on a

"We'n be murdered in our beds" she
walled.
"Do you really think you will" he in

You're a mean. horrid man, Hiram

voice, and she began to get out of bed.
"Where are You going. MariaY' he in
quired uneasily.
"Down stairs" she answered heroical-

four jars of her finest ounces in its mad

1t was for fact an insult to the
American flag for soldiers from the
Montreal royal garrison to enter private
houses on the queens birthday and force
the occupants to take down the stars
and stripes, when the flags of other ma
tons were not molested. But those
who wax indignant over the incident
should recall that the precedent for this
petty business was established last
Fourth of July in the United States,
when an Englishman in New York, who
had innocently flung Che British flag to
the breeze from his upper window in
honor of the day, as he supposed, was
forced by a bowling mob to take it
down. The Montreal incident was only
q retaliation in kind.

The Criminal TYNE.

Deeming, the murderer of women and
children, who is known to have killed
two Of his wives and four of his own
children, is claimed by Psychologists as
belonging to the distinctly criminal
type. He was brave enough when il
was question Of numbering the help
less, but he weakened like white liv-
cred coward and shook like a leaf. beg
ging for mercy, when it came his own
turn to go. 1t will be interesting to
know the final result of the autopsy Of
his brain-whether it was different from
other mems.
Criminals are divided by the physiolo-
gists into three classes-the born Grim.
inal, the criminal from brain disease
and the one who has become such from
depraved associations and company in
early life. The born criminal has re-
treating forehead, large jaw and head

head which always are more or less lon
sided and out of symmetry. Moreover,

nails. These points have been established.
Then the doctors, apparently having ar.
rived at the extent of their knowledge,
plunge into that convenient sea, the
"convolutions of gray matter" and are
lost to common mortals. Deeming
seems to have been criminal born with
a temperament bordering on the insane,
though 1t was kind Of insanity that
needed to be stopped short off.

Expense of Maintaining the Militia on .
 Peace Footing.
 The military estimates for the coming two fiscal years have been made up and show how much money the present military authorities expect will be re- quired of the state of Connecticut to maintain the National Guard end the governors guard during that period. The total for the National Guard is $2S3, ,645 62, or $51. S8 per annum for each officer and man, on basis of 2,7OO men, the present membership. The es- innate for the four companies of the governors guard is 11,50S. 16, or $19. IS annually for each of the 800 officers and men of the guard.
 The estimates made by the quarter master general are for the two fiscal years beginning October 1, 1893, but the estimates made by the adjutant general read for the two fiscal years "beginning July 1, 1S93." The general assembly of 1889 amended the statutes by providing that the fiscal year for all departments of the state government "shall end on the thirtieth day of September"
 The military communication tax of g per capita, imposed upon every able bodied citizen between IS and 45 years of age, who does not perform military duty or is not exempted therefrom, pro- duces about $125, ,000 per year. The re- turns of the last enrolment are not yet in, but the tax will probably amount to about $250, 1000 or $260, 900 for the suc- ceeding two years. A bill to repeal this tax was presented to the senate last Monday, and was tabled.

WATERTowN, N. Y, Dec 22.-The ar rest of John M. Tilden, a wealthy vestry man and prominent member of Trinity church, the beautiful house of worship which was built by Governor Flower and presented to the church society, has caused great sensation. The charge against MT Tilden is that he received property stolen by employees from Watertown and Ogdensburg railroad. It is alleged that for nearly twenty years an organized band of thieves has been robbing the company of brass and other valuable metals handled by the road, the methods of the thieves being to conceal the metal in small quantities until it accumulated, |, when they would sell it to Tilden. It is claimed that in the last nine months Tilden has bought of the robbers brass valued at $40, and that the amount stolen from the company will run up into the thousands. Friends of TIlden claim that there is conspiracy to ruin hIm

The Money Spent in Investigating County

 The republican newspapers appear to divide their time just now between worrying over the cost of the inves- tigation on the county commis- sioners, ann worrying because the names of guilty commissioners are not published. As to revealing the names, it is matter of little consequence says the Hartford Times. Every one was 6 republican,! That is certainty As to the cost of the report, it is nothing in comparison to what the corruption of the commission CTS and prosecuting agents has cost the people of the state. This report was a good investment of the public money. It gives to the people in official au- thentic form, the facts regarding a sys- tenn which has become rotten with in- efficiency, favoring political and per sonal corruption.
