 THE bill providing for the erection of a court house in this city is not dead, as many have been led to belie:e. Repre- sentative Sake has his weather eye on the measure and when 1t comes up in the house agaln next week will strongly urge it's passage. There is no good reason why the bill should not pass. The principal objection comes from New Haven, whose legislators seem to think only of the selfish interests of their own town. The Waterbury superior court under present conditions is farce. The judges refuse to preside over sessions held in the dismal district court room and an adjournment is taken to New Haven after a formal opening. Water bury is the center of large and popu- lous territory and it is a hardship for the people of this and surrounding towns to be obliged to attend court at New Haven. It is the first and only time that Waterbury has asked for any thing in the way of a public bnilding or state institution of any kind and the ap- propriation for court house should be granted.
 THE trout law is off to-day and local
 fishermen are getting their tackle in \ prospects are for a bountiful supply of
 the spotted beauties is difficult to judge. | The past winter has been severe and al
 though a long, open winter is con-
 sidered better for trout, yet mild or
 severe weather makes no material
 difference. In few days the trout will Icommence to move about in the streams. In the fall, as is known by expert fishers, the trout follow the streams down to the deep mud where they bury themselves for a winter of continual Isleep. When they come out again in
 the spring they are considerably
 softened up and covered with thick
 slime. Gradually regaining theil
 strength they harden up and increase ir
 size and weight until June, when it is
 said they are in their prime. After
 their winters sleep ths trout rub them } selves against the pebbles and larger stones to rid themselves of the slimy substance. Along in May when flies be gin to appear they begin to get trisky and are often seen to jump a foot o more out of the water to catch fly.

melancholy to see how suddenly the

tedious little jokes before Mrs w.

ACQUIRING A VOCABULARY.

Nothing is more fascinating than the
the study of words; nothing more
clearly indicates the scholar as opposed
to the mere tyro than the nice and
fastidious use Of these. In words we
clothe our thoughts. Eloquent, subtle,
poetlcal, or thrilling as these may be,
they are intangible and invisible until
arrayed in language. Unspoken
thoughts are like unborn children.
They cannot come into the world or
on the scene of human action till they
are born of the spoken or the written
word.
One way OF acquiring good voca
bulary is, of course, by habitually
associatlng with people who speak
correctly, and whose choice OF word:
IS careful and elegant. To live with
highly educated and congenlal people
is in itself liberal education in thi:
regard.
One sometimes wonders al the
singular lapses into slovenly and litter
ate blunders conspicuous In men ant
woraen who should know better. True
they should, and probably 90 kno,

So that what Mrs. Hart has done is of
enormous value to us in proving to US

than in trying to revolutionize them.
Self-respect is retained tor the people

CUTTING STICKS.

Apple bees are no longer good form
in the rural districts of northeastern
Pennsylvania. Whiting parties are
the favorite evening amusement now,
and skill with the jackknife is the
fashionable attainment. Prizes are
offered for the best ak handle, rolling
pin, potato masher or other useful and
aggressive article, and the only tools
allowed are jackknife, sandpaper and
file. The girls are not barred from
the contests, and some of them are
more expert than their male competi'
tors. A time limit of two hours is
usually set for the completion of the
article called for, and after things are
cleared up the contestants have a
supper and sometimes dance.

Upon circuit judgeshIp all his energies were

The second week he thought that he would quite

sea;
But when he found he could not have an office OF
that kind,
Unto post-ofticial place he turned his agile
mind
But not much to encourage him in this ques-
tion could he find.
Whereon he said a cerkship in the War Depart

And added, if there were no place among the
men Of war,
He'd even serve his country public Janitor,
Or as the keeper OF some big officials Office door
When blust'ring March was over, he put in a
new request;
leadership in Los supplies, he said, would suit
him best.
And when his application tor that office was
denied,
He showed himself a person to arouse his cOun-

For with free pas. to his home, he went there
satisfied.
From which the world must gather that the office

NOT THE SAME OLD STORY.

The man was standing at his store
door, talking 10 a stranger.
See that lady across the street!
he said.
Yes, was the brief reply.
Ism very handsome, is shef
Her beauty won't kill her, l
guess.
Well, it's qreer how things 60
in this world, said the man, retros-
pectively. Twenty years ago she
was one of the prettiest girls in
Detroit, and l was one of the dozen
fellows who tried to marry her.
Same old story, observed the
strar ger some other fellow not halt
the man you are got her.
| No, he didn't either.
No?
No, | married her myself; and she
is coming over here now for twenty
five dollars to get new fall hat with,
and the man smiled as if he were
glad of it.

THE COMING HOG.

black-white-red with spots if YOU
please, and we will put the spots just
where we want them. He will be as
we'll behaved as other domestics animals
and we will not require extra fencing
on his account. He will be ready for
market at any age and give 400 pounds
of dressed carcass at s months old.

in part OF the country where provln.
clalisms are the current coin of daily
talk. Returning few years later to
her home. no one would haye supposed
her to be the same person, so many
queer little phrases and downright
forms of speech, inelegant and lacking
in good form, had she, very suscep.
tible person, picked up and adopted.
If we wish our daughter to be prof.
cient in music, we take her TO hear the
most renowned artists. Technique
may be acquired by constant practice
under the best instructor, but she can
gain feeling, appreciation OF color and
phrasing, sincere and genuine culture
in music, only by hearing it rendered
we'll aud this is true of both vocal and
instrumental performance. So it is
true that good vocabulary is greatly
augmented by habitually listening to
eloquent and beautiful speech, to the
polished diction of the pulpit, to the
rounded and rhythmic sentences of
prayer and praise. The young person
who always goes to church Will gain

This is equally true of English. A
vocabulary is not gained in day or a
week. 1t IS the slow accretion of
many days days, the development OF
many weeks.

A very likely story is told in an

very small foot, of which he was
extremely proud. She encouraged his

Wheat, corn, meat, oats, and other
products are sufferers by sympathy.
No n a tell with certainty what
the consumption of these will be until
it is found out whether the factories
are going to u on full time this
winter or be shut down. While bread
and meat are regarded as daily necessi-
ties, it still remains true that 1000, 900
factory hands out of work will not eat
nearly so much of these staples as when
they are busily employed.
The panic should be over. The
settlement has been rapid and com
plete, Over 1000, OOO, 900 has been
squeezed out of the values of the coun-
try since last fall, and this has brought
everything to hard pan. The depression
has, in fact, gone too far, and there
must be a recovery. The banks of the
country have stood the pressure re.
markably well, and the failures have
been very few considering everything.
They have done SO well that the people
are rapidly regaining confidence in
them, and bringing back the deposits
which they withdrew in haste. This is
the first great step towards making
money easier everywhere, and restor-
ing business to a healthful tone. Then
if Congress will make a decided dec
laration of its intentions, all will be
well.

CAPTdLN S. Z. HARRIS.

After enjoying a splendid dinner
with Capt. Harris in his elegant home
at johnson City the other day, the
writer was shown a Photographic copy
of the order promulgating the court
martial proceedings which sentenced
Captain Harris to be shot to death.
Captain Harris has this order neatly
framed and preserves it as one of the
mementos of the war.
On our first page we give the order
in full, and have the original in the
office for a few days for any one who
may desire to see it.
Captain Harris was never in the
Confederate army, and the court mar
tial was an outrage to intimidate and
deter other East Tennessee loyalis is
from joining the Federal army.
The order to shoot Captain Harris was
not executed because a son of General
Battles was captured and held as q
hostage for Harris, with notice that if
the order vas executed, Battle would
also be put to death by the Federal
Government.
But while the order was not executed,
the suffering and degradation to which
he was exposed while held as a prisoner
of war, was but little better than death
itself. Just before the war closed the
Captains father succeeded in securing
an exchange for his son, whose loyalty
was firm and steadfast through all his
trials.
He was offered freedom from i'm
prisonment, if he would take the oath
of allegiance to the Confederacy. But
this he declined to do. His Republi-
canism is as genuine as his loyalty,
and we wish him a prolonged life as
part compensation for the sufferings he
had to undergo, because of his loyalty
during the war.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1893-07-26
ENTIRELY UNTR UE.

The Washington Evening News saws:
1t will be remembered that Gen. Bussey
once rendered an opinion recognizing
the right of deserters 10 pensions, hold
ing that the act of desertion had not
removed the Government s obligation
to the soldier if he suffered wound or
disease in the services.
There is not a word of truth in this.
Assistant Secretary Bussey never said
that a deserter was entitled to a PEN
sion, but said the reverse quite emphati-
cally. No man who stands on the
rolls OF the Wal Department as a de.
serter can even have his claim for q
pension considered. We have said this
80 often that we get weary repeating
it.-National Tribune.
During the war many soldiers were
cut of from their commands. Some
went home with permission, took sick,
and failed to get back on time, these
were first reported absent without
leave and finally dropped as deserters.
To correct the great injustice done in
many cases, Congress passed a law
authorizing the Wal Department to
hear the proof in such cases and remove
the charge Of desertion If it was
wrongly made. This is the sum and
substance of all there is in pensioning
deserters.
