Detroit Tribune: A generous act is its own reward.
 The hired girl was courteous, but by no means servile.
 She kindly repressed an exclamation of impatience when the lady of the house asked her if she proposed going out that afternoon.
 With nobility not often found in the more powerful classes of society she for bore to give utterance to the petulant re- ply that came to her lips.
 "Yes," she answered, politely, "I had thought to do so."
 "Then-"
 The lady of the house twined her fin- gers together nervously.
 -'you will want my black silk dress"
 She stole timid, anxious glance at the domestic.
 "No," the latter hastened to rejoin, ''you may wear it. I will stay at home." And all the rest of the day she was made happy by the thought of the volun- tary sacrifice she had made.

Hartford Courant: The people of Con- necticut want, for one thing, to get rid of of the ballot law. They were ashamed of it in it's beginning, the nasty product of a late supper, and they have been disgraced by it's operation. It bids fair to bring fat fees out of the state treasury to some of it's designers who benefit by the deadlock litigation, but that's mighty poor rec ommendation of it to the public. No se- cret ballot law at all would he bet ter thing than this. Then the people of Connecticut, foF another thing, want. yes, they demand, that this general assembly shall obey the constitution and pass a law to govern disputes as to the election of state officers. It was for lack of such a law that all the trouble came about
 The need of this legislation has been pointed now, both by immense expense of money and serious loss of reputation. There's no excuse for any further neg lect It is jeopardizing the peace and prosperity and good name of the state.

A TRICK THAT FAILED.

An incident still fresh in the minds of some of our national statesmen occurred in the fiftieth congress, illustrating the need of all the minute precautions that are taken at the government printing of- flee. Just before the Mills bill was report in the spring of 1888, the liveliest interest was felt everywhere as to the precise na- ture of it's provisions. The democratic members of the committe had assembled number to receive and revise the last proof sheets. The government printing office people were particularly charged to be careful in guarding and transmitting the proofs. A coterie of enterprising cor respondents were on the alert to obtain an advance copy, and were determined to get it by fair means or foul, on the principle, no doubt, that everything is fair in love, war and journalism. Somehow they re- ceived ''tip" concerning the plans of the committee, and took steps accordingly to accomplish their design. A special mes senger from the printing office, bearing a bulky package of proof sheets, appeared at specified hour at the residence re- ferred to and handed in the package, talk ing a receipt therefor. Another individ- ual, employed by the correspondents, had shadowed him all the way from the gov ernment printing office and few minutes after the package had been handed in he, too, presented himself before the door, bearing similar looking package filled with blank paper, with instructions to ex- plain to whoever should answer his ring that the wrong package had been deliv- cred through ,inadvertance by his prede- cessor. He was moment too late, how ever, for the proofs had just been dis tributed among the democratic statesmen inside when he arrived and thus the ruse failed, notwithstanding it's cleverness.- Washington StGr

 B. H. Wilson's two sons were thrown from a sleigh last Friday, when near the Lillibridge place in Wilmington, the whif- fletree breaking and causing their horse to run. One of the sons had his collar bone broken, and the other was somewhat bruised. Later the father, returning with the same horse to take the boys home, was thrown out and bruised, the horse becoming unmanageable upon nearing the place of accident.

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un til we've paid our respects and hearty thanks to good old 1892. The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities and we'd have been blind not to have accepted were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- ceptional values, brought about by a constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin '93 with brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way of a break in prices. While we do not welcome such state Of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods; partners will disagree-some of them die stocks have got to be sOld cash got to be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv ilege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment Com mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Noth- Ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.

Should the Sandwich Islands really be- come part of the United States they will be the most picturesque feature of the great republic. They deserve the title "Flowery Kingdom" perhaps even better than Japan, since flowers bloom on the islands all the year round, and are pecu- liarly beloved by all the inhabitants. The foreign residents, and even transient vis- itors, catch the native fondness for flow ers, and at times people of all sorts go about garlanded with abundant blossoms

 The steam mill belonging to Augustus Daniels was recently moved from Roscius Backs lot, where it sawed over half a million feet of lumber, to Mir. Douty's lot in south part of Southbridge.
 The school in this district, taught by Miss Sadie McAllister of East Rrimfield, closed its winter term last Friday. We come to the conclusion that Miss Sadie is worthy of her vacation, 1t being the fourth consecutive term taught here.
 As the gate is once more shut and the pond nearly full again, the logs at Moore's mill can be manufactured into lumber whenever the saw is put in motion.
