It Is said that the clans of Yves, river have been putting on gooc many airs since they heard that thcii place of residence Is in the mud of a navigable waterway Of the United States. but the question before the people of this locality is. is 1t worth while to spend forty or fifty thousand dollars in order to encourage clammy pride? There Is no other reason for such an expenditure. and while the West river clans are useful and re. spected members of society 1t will dc them no good to be made proud by the false notion that they are connected with Commerce.
 Can West river be reasonably talked about as navigable? The Supreme court of this State has had something to say about what navigable means. For instance. in one case it said: Tt Is time the public should understand that not every ditch in which the tide ebbs and flows. through the extensive salt marshes along the coast, and which serves to admit and drain off the salt water from the marshes, can be considered a navigable stream. Nor is every small creek, in which a fishing skiff. or gunning canoe can be made to float, deemed navigable; but in order to have this character 1t must be navig- able for some general purpose, useful to trade or business" This describes the West river situation with great accuracy, and makes it seem absurd to claim that the river is a navigable waterway of the United States, navika ble for some general purpose, useful to Commerce. Of course it Isn't. And if the Secretary of War can be in- duced to order the expenditure of forty or fifty thousand dollars for a special purpose it will be preposterous and wrong, ti 'fiIlt: ~
 It is vastly more important that the Kimberly avenue bridge shall be nav igable at all times for the Commerce that makes its way over it than that the West river should be made naviga- ble for one or two private schemes which do not take into account the general good. Commerce is a big thing. and SO Is common sense. West river isn't naVigable for both at the same time, and it will be wise and economical not to deprive the latter of its rights there.

THE HORSELEECH AND PRIDE


 "The horseleech hath two daughters, crying give, give" and we verify be lieve that the New Haven Evening Reg ister is also a member of that family for it continually cries to us to give it an "explanation." Its latest cry is as follows: What we especially wish to be enlightened about is why it is "dicta- tion" and interference with the rights of the people" for General Merwin's friends to do what they can for him, and perfectly proper for MT. Cheney's friends or MT. Coffin's friends to do pre- cisely the same things for those gentle men.
 If the unsatisfied Register has read the Journal and Courier" with any care during the last few weeks it knows that it has no special right to call on us for an answer to this conundrum. For we have not once intimated that "dictation" and Interference with the rights of the people" are any more tolerable when they come from Hart ford or Middletown than when they come from New Haven. They are not. And. so far as we are concerned, we shall oppose them from whatever quar- ter they come. We have called atten- ton to the curious scheme matched in one of the rooms of the Republican league in this city because we have known something about it's quality. And though we suppose it would have been courteous for us to wait for the Registers judgment concerning it we forgot to do so. The real gist of the matter may be in the question" whether we are likely to see as straight and reason as clearly as the Register. On this point the testimony of the Register itself is admissible. It announced with great satisfaction the other evening that the wayfaring man had stopped his subscription to the Journal and Courier" and, put his name on the Registers list so that he might get the benefit of the Registers insight. and judgment. And it omitted the quali- flying phrase that goes with the way faring man.
 The Register says it is chuck full of local pride. < We have at times thought its pride was constitutional, but if it is only local it may escape the worst consequences of it. It says it's excuse for not minding its own business is local pride. If this is really what makes it act 50 we hope it will not be cured before "another estimable New Haven gentleman" can benefit by it. Does the Registers declaration about

With all the pie lures of and the remarks about the double skirt. ovcrskirt. drapery. etc.. the number of those dresss actually seen on folks Is not so great. The near est to the overskirt Is often deep founce set on the skirt In imitation of an apron overdress. or. sometimes. a skirt has a deep fiounce made wide at the sides and narrow front and back to give the effect of plain overdress. with point front and back. worn over a iounced skirt. In other words. wo- men have no objection to making use of the graceful and becoming lines an overdress sometimes gives, if they can secure the same without the bulk and awkwardness of the second skirt.

The appearance of pugilists as actors reminds the Boston Journal that the present condition of the stage is but a repetition of history, and that the world does not change much. Dr. Do. ran, in his History of the English Stage," speaks thus of the end of the seventeenth century: "The cen- tury closed i'll for the stage. Con- greve's play, The Way of the World, failed to give it any lustre. Dancers. tumblers, strong men and quadrupeds were called in to attract the town; and the elephant at the Great Mogul, in Fleet street, drew to such an extent that he would have been brought on the )tago but for the opinion of master carpenter that he would pull the house lown." And it is set down that the )reasuries at both Covent Garden and Drury Lane were well nigh empty, owing to the rage of the town for curi- Dsities.

My little son, aged three, very much
troubled with a breaking, out on his scalp and be-
hind his car. The places affected were about as
large a silver dollar; the flesh seemed raw AMI
covered with little blisters. The child suffered con-
siderably, and naturally very fretful. 1 tried
several remedies without obtaining any beneficial
results; in fact the eruptons seemed to be spread
ing and new places breaking out. l concluded TO
try the CUTICURA REN EDIl-5. 1 washed the af-
fected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP, taking
care rot to irritate the flesh, and applied CUTI-
CURA. I noticed change for the better In the
appearance Of the eruptiOns In twenty four hours,
and in two weeks the errptiOns entirely disappear
ed. leaving the skin smooth and the scalp clean;
in fact, a perfect cure, as have not any in
