Where Amethysts are Found.

The shores of the picturesque
basin of Minas, made famous by
Longfellow's poem "Evangeline,"
furnish many fine specimens of the
amethyst. After the frOsts of win
ter have broken and scaled the
face of the bluffs, then is the most
favorable time to hunt not only for
the amethyst, but for other min
erals, such as chalcedOny, agate,
malachite, calcite, anOcline, apa-
tite, natrOlite, etc, found there in
the debris at the foot of the cliffs.
Minerals.

Gladstone's Perorations.

PeroratiOns are Mr.. Gladstone's
strongest point. He may confuse
his audience with figures, over
whelm them with words, but when
the time comes for him to round
off his speech, and when his voice.
dropping in volume, take on the
magnetic thrill that has helped to
make its owner power in Eng
land, then the audience mentally
rises to meet the orator, to the out
going thrill comes back an echo
ing answer of emotion, and the
great master of words sits down
amid a storm of applause.

A Bloody Mexican.

Juan Quabnez was drunk yesterday
and while passing a saloon conducted by
Dock ROSeman, he called the latter a vile
name and wanted to combat. ROSeman
gave him a slap on the face and the
Mexican fell. In falling his head struck
a large rock and was badly mashed. His
hand was also mashed badly, and he was
a weak looking human when he was ar
rested on the charge of being drunk and
disorderly. He was fined s. and Rose
mans case, for beating and striking, was
dismissed.

The Telephone Fifty Years Ago.

The first telephone that was
ever used was not electrical, nor
was it scientific instrument i'm
any SENSE of the term. \ little
more than 20 years ago the en-
plOyes Of a large mandatory be-
guiled their leisure hours by kite
flying. Kites large and small
went up daily, and the strife was
to see who could get the largest.
The twine which held them was
thread spun and twisted by the
ladies Of the village. One day to
the tail of the largest kite was at
tached a kitten sewed in a canvas
bag, with a netting over the mouth
to give it air. When the kite was
at its greatest height-2OO feet or
more-the mewing could be dis
tinctly heard by those holding the
string. To the clearness of the at
mOsphere was attributed the hear
ing Of the kittens voice. This is
the first account we remember of
speaking along a Unrestricted
Telegraph.

Sader against crinOline which is rigidltied
by steel hoops.
The Honorable Mr.. McLemore had
been indicted, together with mis- cOpart-
ner. E. L. Merriman, of the Corpus Chris
ii Caller. on the charge of criminal libel,
by W. A. Bowen, late secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, but who Is now no
longer connected with the Chamber and
who failed to show up when the case was
called against the defendants. Merriman'S
case having been dismissed some time be-
fore. and Mr. McLemore'S today, for SINH
lar reasons.
The article republiShed by the Corpus
Christi Caller, on which the charge was
based. was not one of the series on the
cultivation OF the castor bean, written by
the windy agitator. Bowen. but one Of
the terSe and vigorous rhetorical rhapSo-
dies of Col. Charles A. Edwards. which the
latter gentleman not only sired, but said
he was only waiting for the agnuS caStuS
Oleum promoter to d -apOStrophea- Inn.
The meeting however never occurred and
Mr.. Bowen having failed TO connect with
his sOmmonS here, the result is that there
is a. complete a collapse in the charge
against Mr.. McLemore as there has been
in the imitation Of the lingerine Of fashion
which was to have invaded Texas and
against which Mr.. McLemOre made his
successful crusade. He returns up tet-
tered to his legislative duties on tonight'S

4 DEER SEEN

While driving to NewtowD, last week Saturday, J. M. Ford of Southville saw a genuine deer on the opposite side of the new bridge over the Housatonic riv- CT. MT Ford had an opportunity to catch one good look only when the animal heard the horses hoofs and fled up the mountain near Willis Lockwood's. This is a rare circumstance in this section, though deer are becoming more plenti- ful in the state than they have been for some time before. Two were seen near Torrngton, some time ago. Perhaps a recent act of the Legislature, impos- ing a heavy fine for killing one, may have the effect of making the sight of deers in the forests of the state, a con- mon sight; in fact as common as it is now rare.
