Among a long list of probable candi- dates for the maycralty of Waterbury at the fall election the name of Dr E W. McDonald has received considerable at- tention during the past week. Whether the doctor would care to enter the race or not no one seems to know, but all are agreed that if the democrats should decide to put his name in nomination he would be strong man, in case he could be in- duced to accept it, and the opposition would find it extremely difficult to find a candidate who would command larger following among all classes of citizens.

 A delicate looking travelling man called on South Main street merchant the other day and with voice Ia little above whis- per, began to talk in ralatioh to some busi- ness, first telling that he was barely able to get around, owing to an attack of heart disease. Of course the merchant, in true Waterbury style, was sympathetic, and al- lowed the drummer to show samples and finally bought bill of goods which he did not particularly want. Nothing more was thought of the matter until noCn. The kind hearted Waterbury man while seated at the dinner table in the Scovill house heard familiar voice at the table back of him. It was his friend, the drummer. and the merchant nearly droppsd dead when he heard the fellow tell another knight of the road how he had succeeded in selling MT Blank bill of goods by a new method. The merchant said not a word, but if that drummer ever shows up in his store again he will be kicked into the middle of the following week.

When he stepped on the platform at the railroad station and was accosted by few acqualntances he acted Ike one Wno was fully conscious of the shame and degra- dation to which he had reduced himself during the past few years. When Mortar ty came to Waterbury and went down to Washington street and purchased the lot on which ke built his saloon he was young man of splendid physique and excellent habits. For some time he maintained a good reputation among his neighbors in that section of the town and even now, while none of them have anything to say as to whether he Is or is not guilty of the crime with which he stands charged, all feel sorry for his downfall, for when not under the influence of liquor he was big hearted man and has been known to per form many acts of charity. But, in any caser he went out of town yesterday like a man who had never been known in the community; not friend tried to tighten his load.

And his thread-bare garments flying,

For a new king reigns to-snprrow.

New Years is nothing at all nova

that meant something, and it came

that you should understand it was
there. Nor was it our way to do as
they did in the times of its decadence.
Nobody knew anything about cards
those little inflnitcsimal nothings
that make up for respect and honor
and good fellowship. Oh, fie, but

we took of our greatcoats and hung

the doorbells we had rung as so much
