In speaking OF George Wilkes, Red
Wilkes, Wilton. Hamlin's Almout and Joe
Bsssett, Ii should be remembered that they
possess q strong dash of the Morgan.
When Axtell, Johnston and a. B. winship
flashed under the wire the fastest horses
known, the blood of old Justin Morgan
was boiling in their veins, and their foot
steps were proudly speaking 1t to the
world, the echoes even reaching the free
breezss on the Green mountains where the
old hero sleeps.
The late General Withers, of Kentucky,
learned long ago the value of the Morgan
cross. When we read of 2:30 performers
by Hambletonian's stations, the sire gene
rally receives all the credit, the dame ped
igree being forgotten. 1t Is all over the
world The blood of Justin Morgan aud
his descendants will tell and is still breed

the high pressure. by and by, when the
bucket lie full, the bottom may drop out.

THE GREAT STOCK INCREASE.

There has been a good deal of healthy
New Haven and Hartford Railroad COM
pany to be allowed to increase its capital
stock to $1,000 900. 1t is to be hoped
that there will be- more and that the legis-
lature will pay strict attention to this very
important matter, snd not act on 1t until
it has all the facts bsfore it, and until
there has been sufficient talk to make
what is right and just appear plain.
We have noticed some foolish remarks
about the Opposition" to the Consolidated
railroad company. There Is no such op-
position in any hostile sense. Nobody
wants to deprive the road of anything that
rightly belongs to it. But, on the other
hand, there is no occasion for depriving
the people of their rights in the matter.
Their rights are plain. They are that the
road shouldn't be allowed to issue any
more stock than Is really needed and that
such new stock as is issued and ia not used
for exchange should bs sold at public auc-
tlon to the highest bidder. The people
shouldn't have to pay interest on SOC. 900,
900 if they can be let off with paying on
$50, 100000.
Let the matter be thoroughly debated by
the legislators. We can assure them that
good many eyes are looking in their di-
re ton just now. And we An also assure
them that while there is. as usual, intense
| solicitude for ''the widows and Orphans
who own the fat stock of the company,
there is some solicitude felt for the widows
and orphans who done o~e any, and who
will have to help pay ths dividends on the

to have the skirt of the required fullness.

FAIR FIGURING.

The managers of the Worlds fair are do
Ing come Ingenious figuring on what
money they are going to take in. In this
figuring they leave out the cholera, and they
count In Sundays. If the decision to shut
up the grounds Sundays should bs ad-
hered to the figures now made will have
to be considerably reducsd. At present
it Is estimated that between eighteen
and twenty million persons will pay
fifty cents for the admission ticket.
The idea is that if the first day is pro-
pitious there will be large crowd, com.
posed of everybody connected with the
fair in any way and all the temporary
residents. From that day on until the third
week of May the crowds will not be over
large. From this time until the end Of
June all those people of Chicago who
will 60 away for the summer months
will spend much of their time at the
grounds. In July and August viii
come the foreigners, and they. witt
lively. Much additional money may b
taken in nights during these months
September will be the lightest month afte
May. October will be big month, as al
who have put off their visits will turn ou
in force. 1t is expected that the great day
will be, first Illinois day; second, Indian
day; third, Wisconsin day; fourth, Micbi
gan or Missouri day.
These are interesting calculations, bu
they may not pan out as 1t is hoped the.
will. 1t is already pretty certain that un
less the railroad rates are still further re

THE GENIAL BLUFFRRS,

THE GENIAL HLVFFERS.
Some Of the genial buffers" who &C
unselfshly and dissstrously mismanaged
the recent Republican campaign in Con.
necticut are getting little merited atten.
tion from the Hartford Oourant, which
was Sin politics" before they were born
and needs no advice from them.
We are heartily with the Courant in ita
attitude toward these fellows. They
Naturally object to what is called "the
washing of dirty linen" in public, but they
do not object to doing the things which
make such washing necessary. And they
depend on their "nerve" and their
grip On the party to carry them along
without serious opposition, or even with
out serious criticism lis good time to re-
mind them that their assumption that they
are the Republican party is not founded on
fact, and not even well founded en- the &c
ton which they seem to believe in and rely
upon We believe there is pretty general
disgust and distrust In TIE Republican
party on account of the way in which the
last campaign was managed, and we believe
there is abundant reason for such disgust
and distrust.
If the Republican party in Connecticut
is to amount to anything hereafter there
must be a radical destruction of the idea
that the party is for the benefit of one
man, or small set of men. 1t must de-
pend upon principles rather than upon
politics, and its politics must be cleaner
and less selfish and proscriptive. And it's
managers must not do business in the way
they did it in Senator Hawley's case

Red worms, sawyers and the like find no

diamonds. N. Moissan, member of the
French Academy of Sciences, has produced
q number of microscopic specimens OF
true diamonds from ordinary carbon,
which he had orystslllzed by means OF an
electrical furnace, invented by himself.
Results were obtained by dissolving pure
carbon, obtained by the combustion OF
sugar in an ingot of iron heated to 5000
degrees centigrade, and then crystallizing
1t by the application of cold water. The
crystals thus produced are very minute,
not above the thoussndth part of carat.
but they exhibit all the qualities of the real
diamond.
The Jesuit fathers have several mission
ary stations In Alaska, according to the
Rev. Pascal Tosi, the Superior of the Or
der in that territory, who is visiting the
States. He is an italian by birth. and
about 1868 was sent to the wilderness of
the Yukon Valley to establish the first
mission. The principal one at the present
time is situated about 400 miles from the
ocean, and comprises several log buildings
and a chapel, where the Indian children, of
whom there are 140. attend mass; and here
are to be found the only sisters of the So
ciety in Alaska they have charge of the
children's education. Father Tosi Gays
that the most remarkable thing about the
Alaskan Indian is his aptitude for music.
He catches melodies easily and carries
them with him on his travels, so that soon
after an air is learned in one settlement
1t is sung by the Indians of another, far
distant. The farming of ths Alaskan
Jesuits Is confined to c.resls and vegeta
bles, the short summer not permitting
fruits to ripen. Father Tosi says that the
last government census of Alaska Is utter
ly unreliable. All the agent did, he says,
was to ascend the Yukon in a steamer and
make inquiries wherever he chose to land.
The tribes beyond the mountain ranges
north and eouth of the river are not in
cluded in this report. The red men of
Alaska, as encountered by the Jesuit mis-
sionaries are pescesble, industrious, and
