.lN ANCIENr Eoop rURrLN.
Found at Woodbridge by Young Lady
 Inscriptlnn on tha Shel.


 Miss Lulie Arents of Woodbridge found near the glen July 22, wood turtle branded "F G." on the bottom shell and "1S6O,"
 Those are the initials of Captain Fred Darlington who lived in Wood bridge and has been dead seventeen years, The supposition is that he marked the turtle, there being no other person with those initials in the place. The turtle is inches long, AZ inches wide and inches thick, This species of turtle never grows much larger than this, and from appearance it was of about the same size when branded The lower shell shows considerable wear and the indications are that the marks are no fake, but that the turtle has borne them since the date men toned. Webster's dictionary describes this turtle as living to great age. A New London Weekly paper about twelve years ago contained an account of a turtle found at New Milford of the same species as this one, describing it to be about the same size and bearing upon its shell an inscription made by Indians which, when translated, indi- cated that the turtle was from three to four hundred years old.

\ Plueky Newspaper Man Making the Cir
 cult of the United States on His Wheel--
 Our Local Wheelmen Will Greet Him.
 Tom w. Winder, who will arrive here in a day or two, is making one of the most extraordinary bicycle journeys on record. He has undertaken to ride his wheel, or push it, around the United States, keeping as nearly as possible to the coast and international boundary lines, and to accomplish the circuit in 300 consecutive days. The journey is estimated to be 21,OOO miles, obliging him to travel on the average at 72 miles a day. He will cross 33 states and territories in accomplishing his task. MT. Winder weighs 125 pounds and is a newspaper man Of Warsaw, Ind.
 Mr. Winder started westward from New Orleans on March IA, and is due there again on July 6, 1896. When he reached Buffalo on August 9, he had ridden on the average GA miles a day This was behind the average for the whole journey, but considering the fact
 
 part of his circuit, that across the Rocky mountains, he is well up to his expectations. The irregularities of the eastern coast make Buffalo about the middle point of his journey, and he has much easier travelling ahead of him. The longest time he has passed with out eating was thirty-six hours in New Mexico, west of Lordsburg. His long, est walk caused by a breakdown was twenty-seven miles in the state of Washington. His worst troubles So far have been bad roads and difficulty in getting enough to eat. He is tired, but well. He has gained two pounds since he started
 MT. Winder is making the journey as a correspondent of the Illustrated Buff falo Express, to which paper he fur nishes weekly letters describing his ex- periences. A large bet-$1, ,000 and a house and lot in Warsaw, Ind.--is also at stake upon the result of his long ride. His route from Buffalo follows the Erie canal through Medina and AL bion to Rochester where he crosses to | the lake road; then passes through | Oswego, Pulaski, Watertown, Clayton, l Ogdensburg, Norwood, Moira, Malone,, | Chateaugay and Rouse's Point; High gate Springs, Newport, Vt; Gorham, | N. H.; Pennington, Bangor, Augusta, Portland, and other coast towns in Maine; Portsmouth, N. H; Newbury- port to Boston, Mass; thence by way of Plymouth and Newport, R. l., along 1 the sound through New Haven to New York city. From New York south the route is a most tortuous one, going around Delaware and Chesapeake bays, and the deep sounds to the southwark

rnasrsround Mail Transportation.

Benjamin Silverthau of 116 York street this city, has got out a system for carrying mail underground from a postoffice to railroad depot MT. Silverthau says of it: It may be of practical use in any of the following named cities, where quick delivery of mails is much needed: New York city, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. The system saves at least thirty min utes each way in such city as New York, where the mail is carried by the electric cars in forty-fve minutes without blockage; whereby my system would carry the mail from the office to the station in about ten minutes. The system is a railway car run by a cable underground. Mr. Silverthau has been to Washington with his pa pers and showed them to Postmaster General Bissell and his assistant, MT Jones, in April, 1S93 MT. Silverthau says these officials thought very favor able of the system.

He Expresses Regrets.

New York, Aug. 15.-All doubt as to the fate of Edward Warren Ball, the man suspected of eomplicity in the re- cent robbery of pr. Drury in Brooklyn, who escaped from Detective Sergeant Lawrence Delehanty by jumping over board from the Fall River boat Puritan just as the latter was pulling into New port Tuesday night, seems to have been set at rest to-day. Detective Delehanty was in receipt this morning of two let ters from his late prisoner. One of the letters was written from Newport and the other from Fall River. The two letters were similar in tone. Both of them expressed the writer's deep regret that he had been obliged to escape from so distinguished a detective as MT. Del ehanty.

fleet. Their pay comes to them regularly
every month and they would seem to be
under obligations to devote the vacation
to work for the country.
The trouble has been and is that Sena-
tors and Representatives as soon as Con-
gress adjourns go to n seaside, or on
hunting expeditions or on some larking
excursion, or devote themselves to their
private business, and think no more of
public affairs till Congress reconvenes,
and when they get to Washington they
are ignorant of what has been going on in
the country. The most of them, if they
give any thought to public affairs, con-
fine themselves to observations of political
tendencies, and study how they can adj
vance partisan interests.
The capital side of the problem Senator
Perkins would have investigated is better
understood than any of the other sides,
because capitalists take steps to have it
understood. Capitalists are busy in keep
ing Senators and Representatives in
formed. They thrust knowledge upon
them while labor and agriculture
from modesty or other cause keep
themselves in retirement. If our
Senators and Representatives would be less
frequent in their visits to Wall street. and
would get blackboard and go out among
the farmers and into the shops and fields
where labor is performed, they would get
facts on all the problems presented, and
would be able to devise measures that
would be more adaptable to conditions
Information thus gathered would be
more useful than that which comes
through a commission. Members of Con-
gress are expected to act on their own
convictions, founded upon knowledge
they themselves have acquired, rather
than upon convictions of other people.
Let them do their own work for which
they get pay and not shirk it off upon
somebody else. The problems presented
by labor, agriculture and capital are not
so difficult and abstruse that it is neces-
sary to have expert investigation and
opinion in order to reach a sensible and
lust solution.

Honest A. Lincoln

Magazine readers of twenty years ago
will recall the brief, bright litera ry career
of Mrs Kate H. De Mott, wife of Presi-
dent De Mott of Jacksonville, Ills, Col
lege. Her death occurred just at the
dawn OF womanhood. The following par
ody on Abou Ben Adhem is found among
her unpublished manuscripts:
Honest A. Lincoln, tmay his tribe increase,)
Awoke one night from sweet dream of peace,
And saw in his official business room,
Lighting with splendor all its dreary gloom,
An angel, writing on the roll of fame.
A. Lincoln's heart was honest as his name.
AS to the angel in the room he said:
tWhat writest thou?"
The vision raised its head,
Crowned with the glory of its bright estate,
And said:
1.-THE names of those whom men call great"
And is mine one?" said Lincoln.
"Nay, not So"
Replied the angel. Abram spoke more law.
But bravely still, and answered.
"WrIte me then
Believer in the equal rights of men;
Who freedom gave and who, midst fires and
hate.
Has done his best to help all men be great"
The angel wrote and vanished. Tine next night
1t came agaiu with yet more glorious light.
And showed whose names undying fame pos
sessed
And 10, A. Lincoln's name led all the rests

accept, and no harm can result from it..
1t is true that single standard is sim :
pier and more convenient, and if that is
to be the controlling feature of none
tary system, some material should be
adopted sufficiently abundant to supply a
volume adequate to the demands of trade
Ricardo and Rothschild, a little over a
century ago, argued that single stand
ard was better than q double standard,
but we find that they separated, Ricardo
believing that silver should be made the
measure, presumably because it was more
plentiful than gold, and Rothschild
favored gold because of its scarcity Ri
cardo was an economist and Rothschild
was money changer. This country can
not maintain the gold standard as to
money to be used in domestic affairs and
preserve sufficient volume so long as
balances of trade are adverse, and we are
annually paying large sum to foreign
people for sea transportation, and as our
people spend in travel abroad $50, 900, 900,
or upwards, more than foreigners expend
in this country, all of which are paid in
gold
The very policy that cripples our trade
and industries renders this country less
able to maintain the gold standard for
any purpose. A people who are most
actively engaged in developing wealth are
most likely to command the material
which the commercial world has selected
for a standard of value. We have of our
own ample material for a domestic money
measure, but our present depression of
business and financial difficulties are re-
suits of the failure to make use of it as
literally as the needs of the country re-
nuirn
