Justice John NJ. Harlan, of the
United States Supreme Court, and one
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration, stated in
private conversation in st. James's
Hall, London, ut Sunday mission
meeting, that he personally believed
that on the occasion of future differ
ence between England and the United
States the intervention of strangers
would NOT be invoked, but an equal
number of the judges of the highest
courts of both countries would be ap-
pointed to- settle the difference.

A keeper at the London geological
Gardens was employed on account of
his supposed fondness for animals. He
was soon found to be disliked by the
animals, who exhibited their aversion
in many ways, 1t was suspected that
while eutwardly treating them with
kishess he must secretly hurt or an
noy them. He denied having done
anything of the sort, and his general
manner seemed to bear out his protes-
tations. watch was set upon him,
with curious result. 1t appeared
that he never spoke to the animals,
and for that reason alone his presence
was intolerable,

Grub or Plantl

The most curious of all objects in
New Zealand is tlae which the Maoris
call ''aweto." One is uncertain
In the first stage of its existence it is
simply a caterpillar about three or
four inches in length, and always
found in connection with the rata tree,
kind of towering myrtle. 1t appears
that when it reaches full growth it
buries itself two or three inches under
ground, where, instead of undergoing
the ordinary chrysalis process, it be-
comes gradually transformed into Il
plant, which exactly fills the body and
shoots mp at the neck TO a height of
eight or ten inches.
This plant resembles in appearance
diminutive bulrush, and the two,
animal and plant, are always found in
separable. One is apt to relegate it
to the domain of imagination, among
dragons and mermaids, but then its
existence and nature have been ac-
cepted by the late Frank Buckland.
How it propagates its species is II
mystery. One traveller, after describ-
ing its dual nature, calmly states that
it is the grub of the night butterfly.
If so, then the grub must also become
butterfly, or what becomes of the
species?
One would be ready to suppose that
the grub does really so, and that some
fungus finds the cast-off slough con-
genial quarters for its growth. But
as far as present observation goes, the
grub never becomes a butterfly, but is
changed in every case into n plant. -

A Mexican paper predicts an i'm
mense invasion of that country by
American tourists this winter, and
says that the railroads are already pre-
pairing to handle the expected throng.
It thinks that the prevalence of
cholera in Europe is sure to thin out
the ranks of tourists thither, and
that they must have somewhere to go
to escape the winters cold. 1.-The
prediction adds the New Orleans

SONG OF THE STARS.
When the daylight fades in the evening
shades

When the daylight fades in the evening
shades,
And the blue melts in the gray,
We pitch our tent in the ornaments
To guard the milky way.
And we gather the broken sunbeams up
That the day has left in its path
To kindle and build the glow, and gild
What our sparkling campflres hath.
With fond caresses we jewel the tresses
fthe moon as she mounts tine skies
And the heavens we sprinkle with many a
twinkle
That leaps from our sparkling eyes.
But when the storm cloud rolls his car
In thunder across the sky,
And the lightning dashes in htful flashes,
We hide, till the storm goes by.
The son is our master. and no disaster
Can come to his night of rest
For with constant eyes on the dim horizon
We guard the east and the west
We sometimes find where the comet hides,
And we frighten him out of his la:::,
Till he speeds through the night, like fox
in his flight
70 his home in the great nowhere.
We sometimes pause in our journey because
We see ourselves in the glass
or the silent lakes or the sea that takes
Our pictures as we pass.
But when the daylight quivers and breaks,
And the gray melts into the blue,
The tears we shed DER our fallen dead
Ara found In tha morning dap

THE GRATEFUL HEART.

thankful am for all good things;
For every biithesome bird that sings;
thankful am for May and June
When most my life with Life's In tune;
thankful am for strawberries,
And very glad of cherry trees;
OF apple blossom and the fruit;
OF mellow nut and pungent root.
Great good and solace come to me
From flowers upon the dogwood trees
An unknown warbler sets me wild
With wonder like an eager child;
And to my charmed and seeking eyes
Each varied toadstool's q surprise.
thankful am for all fair things;
For life and all the bliss 1t brings;
My soul is very glad thereof
Because God made me out of love;
And most joy, beneath his trees,
To thank the Father-He for these.

mittee last night the opinion of City Attor-
ney Burpee was received as to the dis
trict's liability to pay for the combination
desks bought from O. d. Case ~ Co by cN-
Chairman Tierney. He finds that under
the charter no special powers are given TO
the chairman of the district committee.
The committee might appoint one of their
number TO purchase supplies. but unless
they have done this neither the chairman
nor any member can make II contract
which will be binding upon the district.
If. however, the chairman should purchase
supplies without authority and the COM
mittee had neglected to repudiate the con-
tract within reasonable time, it would be
held that they had ratified and confirmed
it SO far rs to bind the district.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

President Clark Says the EncIeney of the
Consolidated Service VIII Not be Inn
paired.
President Clark of the New York, New
Haven 4 Hartford railroad last night said
that the proposed changes of trains over
the New York, New Haven 4 Hartford
road were simply to save themselves en-
CINE mileage and not to impair the eff
cheney of the New York & New England
railroad by taking off expresses over that
line. He declared that the public will be
as well accommodated by the new system
as by the old. and that the change will
cheaper traffic radically. He denied that
the road would take off the colonial or
Washington expresses, as reported.
President Clark regretted the sensation
al reports now rife in the press relative to
the affairs of the New York. New Haven &
Hartford road, and stated that the loss in
receipts recently necessitated the economy
the road has been compelled to practice.
A rumor is in circulation among the en-
playes of the Naugatuck and Berkshire di-
visions that there is to be a still further re-
AUCTION of the employees on these divisions
by the withdrawal of trains, though Just
what trains are to be withdrawn is MOI
known. The rumor of the proposed with
drawalS cannot be verified.

POISON AND cHLoRoFoRM.
Ernest w. TonIinson of This City Com
mits Suicide at Stamford

Ernest w. TOmlinson of This City Com
mlts Suicide at stamford.
Ernest w. Tomlinson, of this city, en-
ployed as clerk in the drug store of J. X.
Lawrence Il Co. of Stamford, was found
dead in bed at his boarding house in Will
low court in that place yesterday after
noon. Three bottles partly empty lay on
creosote, another chloroform and the third
laudanum. The suicide had taken them
all.
Tomlinson retired early Wednesday
night and did not appear at the breakfast
table yesterday morning. In the afternoon
Mrs George Dayton, who keeps the board
ing house, went to his room to investigate
and found him dead. On a bureau were
two letters, one addressed to his mother
and the other to Miss Ida NJ. Hine of
New Haven. These undoubtedly explain
the cause of the suicide.
1t is understood that he was engaged to
the young lady to whom one of the letters
was addressed and that the engagement
was broken but a short time ago. De-
spondency over this is believed to be the
cause of his suicide. On Wednesday he
remarked to a fellow employee that he was
not feeling well and did not care much
whether he lived or not.
| The deceased was the son of Mrs Lucy
NJ. Tomlinson of 4l9 Washington avenue,
and was twenty-eight years of age. He
was clerk in the postoffice for about
three years under Postmaster ]. w. Hill.
He was employed for several years in Par
trees drug store in Brooklyn. which posi-
ton he left last spring to accept one in
| Stamford.
The remains will be brought to this city
for burial.
The young mans mother is at loss to
account for his rash act. She told a Dem
ocRAT reporter to-day that he was to have
been married next month. He had not
told her that the engagement had been
broken, but on the contrary wrote n few
weeks ago saying that he was coming tc
Waterbury to make arrangements for hi:
wedding, and asked his mother to gel
ready to move to Stamford. His last
letter, however, was disconnected anj
wandering. but did not tell of his trouble:
and his mother did not suspect that Their,
was ANYTHING serious the matter.
