Hill-Its Height Two Hundred

Bradley's Hill-Its Height Two Hundred
 Feet.
 The Seymour Record says: Bradley's Hill. in the south part of this town, is too well known here to need any men, ton. but 1t may be of interest to those not so fortunate as to be acquainted with the Bethany hills to learn some- thing of them. This hill is somewhat peculiar, standing alone and rising by an easy grade to a height of perhaps not more than 200 feet above the sur rounding fields. yet commanding a view which one might go a long way to have excelled. From its level summit one looks over the top of Round Hill' and over West Rock and sees Long Is- land sound stretched but for at least thirty miles. Beyond that Long Island is plainly seen, protecting the sound from the winds and waves of the At- lantic. In other directions may be seen a landscape of hill and dale. of forest and field, well worth careful scanning. An elevated platform. some fifteen feet high, has been built on the summit, for an outlook. and near by in the shade of some trees, tables have been put up for picnic parties. At one time 1t was proposed to organize stock company and purchase the hill for a site for a summer hotel, but for some reason the project fell through.

BILLs WILL NOT RE PAID.
Board of Finance Win Not Pay for Dam ages to Patrolmen's Clothing.

The board Of finance has refused to pay the bills sent them by the police commissioners for injuries done to the patroimen while making arrests. Pa trolmen Hoffman and Mekeon while arresting Maurice J, Reilly recently had portion Of their clothing torn oh by the prisoner. They accordingly pre- sented bills to the police commissioners which were approved by that body and sent to the board of finance. McKeon's S bill was for 3i2 and that of Hoffman Ss.
 When these bills came up before the city hnanciers payment was refused and 1t now looks as though the officers would have to go without their money. The ground taken by the finance board Is that the bills should have been taxed in the costs in the city court. Just what action the police commissioners will take on the matter at the next meeting Is problematical.

BRITANNIA WENT TT ALONE.
Sailed Over tho Course for the Wolver

Sailed Over tho Course for the woiver-
 ton Cup To-day.
 Weymouth. Aug. A.-In the race Of the Royal Dorset Yacht club regatta for the wolverton cup to-day, the Britannia sailed over the course alone and got the prize.
 The reason for the satanita's failure to start was that during yesterdays race she lost her spinnaker
 The course to-day was laid in Wey- mouth Bay and was sailed over three times, the total distance covered being about forty miles. A light breeze from the southeast was blowing.
 The Pall Mall Gazette this morning assumes that Vigilant has finished her season, and reviews the races between the American yacht and the Britain mia.
 "In the seventeen races in which the yachts have contested" the Gazette says, Tuck has undeniably helped the Britannia more frequently than it has the Vigilant. but flukes come oftenest to the cleverest skipper.
 The Britannia has the same crew that she carried last season, while the Vigilant has a new skipper and many new hands in her crew. Never theless the yachts have competed un- der all conditions of wind and water, and the verdict rendered must be that the Britannia has succeeded in aveng- | ing the defeats sustained by the Val kyrie in New York Bay. The question arises, however, was the Valkyrie sailing her best in Amer ica, or Is the Vigilant doing herself | justice here? We believe that the Valkyrie did not sail in her English form in New York Bay in the fina race. The Vigilant's career over here has been similar. except that she has had ample time to recover her form" l The Gazette expresses the belief that the yachts will meet again in the Medi. l terranean next spring.

She is able to boast Of the lowest tax rate in many years-sl2 on sl.ooo-and the best part of 1t Is that 1t has been brought about by wise economy in ap- propriations and not by forcing up the valuations.

Five Authors.

Notwithstanding the lapse Of time,
Sir Walter Scott still occupies a com
manding position among novelists. In
early life he wrote a legible hand,
though being
clerk foredoomed his fathers soul to cross,
Who pens stanZa when he should engross.
His stanzas displayed more character
than his chirography. Toward the close
of his career, when the great mind be-
came obscured, his manuscript was
grabbed, blurred and altered so as to be
almost unreliable.
Fenimore Cooper appears to have
written his numerous novels with a
burnt stick. Nathaniel Hawthorne's
handwriting was irregular and indis-
tinct. Dickens says he never copied,
always sending the original draft of his
works to the printer. The printer,
however, would have been better
pleased if Dickens had copied, for his
manuscript is written in galloping,
slapdash style, frequently blurred and
altered, and very difficult for the COM
pOsitOr to set up.

tirely the reverse. 1t is free from blots
and erasures, the writing is clear, neat,
regular aud nearly upright, the words

Continental Currency.

During last week three patches of
Continental currency were presented
to the Treasury Department for re-
demption. The currency was, Of
course, returned to the owners, as, by
law, such currency, even if it was gen
uine, has no money value. At the close
OF the revolutionary war Continental
currency was worth 81 in specie for
ST 900 of Continental money. This
money was extensively counterfeited
by order Of the British Government in
its efforts to destroy the credit of the
Continental Government. One curious
advertisement bearing on the subject
is among the archives Of the Treasury
Department. 1t reads: Persons 60
ing into the other colonies may be sup
piled with any number Of counterfeited
Congress notes for the price of the
paper per ream. They are so nearly
and exactly executed that there is no
risk in getting them off, it being almost
impossible to discover that they are not
genuine. This has been proved by
bills of very large amount which have
been successfully circulated" The
British Government itself embarked in
the business of counterfeiting Continen-
tai money, and Gen. Howe, the British
commander, it is recorded, "abetted
and patronized those who were en-
gagged in making and pushing spurious
issues into circulation. "-NeW York

He was a Bore.

There is story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following farewell,
in his broadcast Scotch, of young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who, while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood,
had on a single occasion ventured to
disagree with him. q would have you
to know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had con-
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carly les dogmas.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, ore
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion, or prOstratior,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present, alike to themselves
and their easy-going and Indifferent, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he presc-ibes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when in reality
then are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant Of
the cause Of suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse

consequent complications. a proper med
