 Windham county needs new jail or an enlargement of the old one. Willi- mantle. says-a new jail, by all means, and let it be located at Willimantic. The argument is that the present location at Brooklyn is not accessible, but we sus- pect that the young city also feels strong desire to keep it's population at home. Rockville is now moving for corner signs, designating the names of it's streets. Thus does our neighboring city ever try to keep close second to our own borough.
 A bill is before the senate to make Rockville port of entry. The location of custom house, a fortress to defend the "port' from naval invasion, and pro- viding sites for consular residences will be next in order.
 The Ellington town almshouse, kept | by R. A. Taft, came very near being de- stroyed by fire Thursday night. The 13 inmates of the house were all asleep when John Watkins, neighbor, discovered fire bursting through the roof. He gave an alarm, and the fire was put out, with only a small loss. A number of the inmates were old and helpless.

Benjamin Harrison: The American workman is realizing to-day that it is not possible for him to separate himself in interest from the manufacturer who en- ploys him; that he cannot listen to the wild and vicious appeals which have been made to him; strike at the men who give employment to labor without bringing the blow back in recoil upon himself and up. on his family.

 A fox who was being pursued by the hounds came upon a hare sitting in the bushes and called out:
 "If anybody inquiries for me please say that you haven't seen me for month past"
 ssOh,I couldn't do that, p replied the ha1e-that would be lying"
 Every well, then, suppose you take a run across to yonder fence and back and tell me if there is any snow on the other side?"
 | "With pleasure" answered the hare, and away she sailed.
 The hounds got sight of her as she sped along, and directly the whole pack were hard at her heels.
 "That comes of being too good," chuckled the fox, as he saw her finally overtaken. "The skin of hare who died for truth isn't half as valuable as the peIt of fox who lives to lie."

[For The PreSS.l HAZE.

It is haze in the fall and haze in the spring, And some sort O smoke does all the
 air fill; In the autumn it may be the forest fires, In the spring it's the bonfire on the hill. O, the farmer isa merry, the farmer is wise, A quite independent old boy is he: When he gets ready, rakes OCT the waste, The lawnsand the garden of all the de-
 bris. "Setting" the hens, the scions and plants Is the work of the hour that promises
 joy, If he is busy with weightier cares These things may awaken the wit of his
 boy. And when the young daughter gets home
 from the college, It's amusing to note all the sparring and spat; -.. But the old folks ale awed at their talk

 and that. Then the sweet undergraduate helps in

 Since their minds have been trained to

threw everything infiamable within
reach into the furnace-some bacon, oil,
and even furnitnre-and made steam
enough for headway, the boy, under or
ders, making for an eddy behind an is
land near the head of the rapids, out of
reach of the Indians. The little fellow
had proven himself real hero, for in
going to the wheel he had been exposed
freely to hostile bullets, one striking
hip in the leg, but he crawled manfully
to his post and saved the boat.
As soon as full steam could be made
the steamer was headed across the river
to Atwells, where alarm was given of
the outbreak. Messengers were sent to
Fort Dalles and Fort Vancouver. From
the former Col. Wright came to the
rescue with a company of U. s. troops,
while Lieut.. Phil Sheridan, with troop
from Fort Vancouver, embarked on the
Steamer Belle, bringing one cannon.
Landing at Lower Cascades, he was
quickly on the ground and rounded up
a number of the hostiles. A company
of volunteers from the Willamette Valley
came on the boat Jennie Clark, piloted
by Capt. McNulty. The troops soon
subdued the Indians, but not before a
dozen or more whites had been killed.
Nine Indians were hung near the smok-
ing ruins of Browns mill. The officers
decided then to build block house here
for the protection of scattered pioneers,
a rallying place for them during later
Indian scares.
This was done during the same year,
1856 and it always called Sheridan's, but
just why no one seems to know now.
A point of rocks on the river short dis
tance from the rapids, is also called
Sheridan's point. Soon the last of the
pioneers will have passed away, as has
this, their moss-covered old log strong
hold, and little incidents like Jimmie
Watkins heroism and even Sherdian's g
prompt trip, too trivial to be noted in
history, will have been lost save for
dim tradition. So it may be well to
give one passing moment to the old
blockhouse that nestled for so many
years under the shadow of the House
Mountain, itself the scene of one of the
strangest Indian legends of the north
west country George P. Morgan, in
Chicago Blade.

sheridan's BlOckhouse, on the Columbia
and the Events Which Led to
It's Construction.

Sheridan's blockhouse, opposite Cas-
cade Locks. Or, on the Columbia river,
has tumbled down, its heavy, hand-hewn
timbers, relics of stormy days in the
northwest country, still sound save few
near the foundations, have been utilized
by the vandal fishermen to build fish
ways, until the old river, scandalized by
the desecration, swept them all away
during the great flood of this summer,
and now nothing remains to mark the
old stronghold of the pioneer but few
moss-grown and rotten timbers.
An incident in the early history of
Gen. (then lieutenant) Phil Sheridan is
recalled by ruins of this old building,
which is thus related by the veteran
river pilot, Capt. J. McNulty, who
fought the Indians here as volunteer
during the campaign of 1856, with
"Little Phil,'' and who is yet making
regular trips as a pilot on the middle
Columbia
The ''fshing Indians" mostly Wascos,
Snakes ard Cascades, with renegades
from many other tribes, a regular hotch-
potch of ''Siwashes," whose love of the
succulent salmon was greater than tribal
ties, and whose lodges lined the river
near the spearing rocks at the falls and
cascades, had long been turbulent and
aggressive, but had made no serious out
break until March %, 1856. On that
day band of them attacked Browns
mill. situated just above Cascade Locks,
on the north, now Washington side, kill
ing and horribly mutilating Mr.. Brown
and his wife. The other white living at
the mill, together with the captain and
crew of a little river steamer, the Mary,
then tied up at the landing, had gone
several miles up the river for the day,
leaving only the engineer, Buck Minister,
and small boy named Jimmie Wat
kins, on board. Luckily for these, there
was a little fire banked under the boilers.
The attack was SO sudden, that before
Minister could realize the danger the In
dians were upon him. The foremost
reached the shore end of the gang plank
as he did the other, to draw it aboard.
A quick shot from his pistol sent the
red man headlong into the river. The
plank was drawn in, while the boy cut
the shore line, and the little Mary be-
gan drifting at once, under a hail oil
bullets, and arrows, from one great dan
ger into another-that of the terrible
current above the rapids.

Cleveland For a Free Ship Law.
IN. Y. SUM-

That the author of the Hawaiian and
Samoan policies has heard from the coun-
try, is evident from these surprising re-
marks of Mr.. Cleveland at Philadelphia
on Monday:
''Our flag not only tells of our existence,
but it is symbol of all that American in
situations represent. 1t is glorious and
patriotic to uphold our flag, and to follow
it and defend it, but it is also glorious and
patriotic to carry our flag to all parts of
the world and to extend its defence and
protection to American men and American
property in the ports of every nation
That is the right sort of talk from an
American President, providing it comes
from the heart. Sentiments like those ex-
pressed by Mr.. Cleveland on the occasion
of the launching of the st. Louis have
never before proceeded even from his lips
Do they indicate embryonic patriotism
in a breast that has never before been
known to thrill at the sight of the Star
spangled Banner; the sudden conversion
to American ideas of mind which has
never concerned itself with questions OF
maritime extension or studied the flag
afioat except on deadhead trips to the Dis
NAL Swamp or to Buzzard's bay:
Words we fear and nothing but words,
are these strangely patriotic remarks of
Grover Cleveland. For the honor of
our flag he goes on to say, II am will
ing that the defence of our government
and flag shall be accorded to all ships of
American ownership wherever built. "
II shall deem myself especially fortu-
nate,p he modestly adds, 'if in time to
come it can be said that have done some
thing during my present incumbency in
aid of the freedom and extension of Ameri-
can commerce and the consequent further
growth of American ship-building
What does that mean? 1t means simply
that this master of the craftsmanship of
destruction, who now talks so glibly about
sending the flag to all parts of the earth,
has made up his mind to go in at the next
session of Congress for a free ship bill,
with its consequnt death blow to one Of
the nOblest of American industries,
American commerce in foreign built
bottoms is the Cleveland programme; the
American flag at the peak of second hand
British tramp steamships; the closing up
of American shipyards and shipbuilding
plants, and the purchase from foreign
builders of such ships of war as we may
need for our navy
