4 CHAr WIrR A YOUNG ERIHNn.

Our young friend and neighbor the Register throws heStandard dictionary, the Century dictionary and the Fair Haven correspondence of the Journal and Courier at us. And still We say we do not See how Representative Eaton could have been presented with" a fine shotgun when it was so much bet ter and more direct to present fine shotgun to him. We took 1t for granted that those who did the presenting want ed to do it in the best way. If they didn't all right. It is none of our busl- ness.
 The Register "hatters" itself on its military knowledge, It is justified in so doing, but it needn't have flattered itself had it chosen to give us a hint that it wanted to be flattered. It would have given us deep pleasure to flatter the Register on it's military knowledge, especially on it's knowledge of how to make a parade. And though the Regis ter, by stress of circumstances, is now found flattering itself it really has all the modesty that goes with the best military quality. Not long ago it pub lished, if we remember right, an edi- torial headed Wanted-Another Col onel." and in this editorial it took the ground that New Haven needed an- other Colonel. If this wasn't the true modesty that goes with true bravery, profound military knowledge and great prowess in arms what is?
 The Register also flatters itself on it's knowledge of the English language As We could not conscientiously help it out by such tiattery we are glad that we haven't been asked to do so.
 The Register cordially invites Repre- sentative Eaton to visit it's office and bring with him the fine shotgun which it says he has been "presented with" This is either recklessness or else there may be something to the runlor that there are no Democrats in the Register office.
 Finally, we will present a valuable chunk of wisdom to our young friend and neighbor It is much safer to be lepidopterous than megalomaniacal.

 q suppose" quot'h James T. Gaulin, of Winchester, Mass, who was sitting on the hotel veranda, that I had the honor of killing the most valuable fish that ever swan the seas. I did it sin gle-handed, too. I aver that this fish was worth more at the time of it's death than the finest sperm whale that was ever harpooned, although we should really leave whales out of the question when speaking of fish. It was thirty years ago, and I was young and foolish enough to be a deep-sea diver. Our diving schooner and crew had been sent to Cuba to try to recover some stuff from Spanish boat that had foundered off the coast of Cuba, just where I don't now recollect. It was quite long trip for us, and as the en- ployment of diving outfit was an ex- pensive thing in those days, the boys knew that there must be something pretty valuable in the hold of the wreck. was quite close to our skip per, and he told me that there were several boxes of gold coin in the wreck. On our arrival at the port near where the wreck lay in thirty feet of water the agent of the owners of the sunken schooner told us something more sur prising. It was that the gold had not been slowed in boxes in the cabin, as was usual. but for some reason had been bagged and placed in the hold, be- ing billed as copper washers. This was probably a scheme to avoid any chance of the spirit of cupidity arising in the crew, for the treasure was very great.
 "As the confidential man, I was se- lected to go down first and find the money bags, attach lines to them, and have them taken out before the other divers should proceed with the work of taking out the other freight that the water had not harmed. I was soon in the hold and was surprised to find that the bags were only little distance from the hole in the side that had caused the schooner to founder. I had been told that there would be twelve Dd6o, Oul Cuuiu lay lily Hduu Ou put eleven of them. Finally I spied a torn bag lying near the hole in the hull, and on picking it up discovered that it contained a few gold coins decided that the heavy triple sacking had been torn open some way or other when the schooner sank. I fastened lines about the eleven bags that were intact, and had them hoisted, afterward going up for air. for our apparatus was not very good.
 Tn few minutes I returned to the hold to search for the scattered coins. Very few of them were in sight. It oc- cured to me that they might have been washed outside the boat, judging from the position of the wreck, and the fact that the hole was far down toward the ships bottom. I was about to crawl out of the hole, when I remem- bered that it might hazard the air pipe. so was pulled up and let down again over the vessels side. was disap-

pointed not to find any indication of the gold near the hole in the schooner, but set to work digging resolutely in the sand. l had gone but a foot down when I struck the gold pieces all in a lump. I picked out great handful and turned the light on them, for l was lover of gold then, even though it did not belong to me.
 lust then I saw something that made the rubber helmet rise from my head. It was a man-eating shark. I hadn't thought of one in so long that I had neglected to bring my knife. It was rushing at me. The stupid crea- ture never stopped to consider that with a rubber and lead dressing a diver makes a poor lunch. I was kneeling beside the gold. At the sharks on- slaught I naturally hung to the hand ful of gold as though to use it as a weapon. He turned on his side, open ing his horrible mouth. A feeling of grim humor had come over me. The cruel goldbugs had sent me down here to be devoured, after saving thousands of dollars for them. I would be a spendthrift at last. So with all my force I flung the heavy handful of coin into the yawning mouth.
 '"The shark must have thought it was a part of me, for he snapped his jaws over the golden morsel I am satisfied that he broke some teeth. He swan back a little and then rushed at me again. I had no weapon but the gold, so again l flung into the hideous maw enough to buy me a home in New Eng land. l saw him snap and swallow it. Again and again was the attack re- peated, and as often did I hurl gold into the sharks throat. Pretty soon he became dizzy, as it were, for the gold had unbalanced him, settling in the forward part of his body. Then he writhed in agony, and had to keep lodging his fury. Then, with one ter rible shudder, he sank to the bottom, weighted down by the gold. I tied a line about him and then gave the sig nal to be pulled up. Then helped hoist the shark. We cut him open. Gentlemen, you must take the word of an ex-diver that there was forty-five thousand dollars in his stomach. Gold had killed him.
 Silence smeared itself all over the veranda. The pale moon slid behind a cloud. The amphitheatre organ slowly wove a weird chunk of melody. The chimes began to ring. Those were great days" said MT. Gaulin, sadly.

 Jaunty velvet coats of the new type hang open in eton fashion in front only with quite a box effect of suaighness. Very deep collar revers lie back over tho shoulders, making the coat open over a strictly tailormade waistcoat and all lowing the very ornate shirt front of pleated chiffon to show above. The re- vers are of contrasting satin and are covered with heavy yellow lace.

THE TELEPHONE GfRL

We desist for a minute from the pursuit of politics, the unstoppable train and focal pride to call a little attention to one of the most useful and least appreciated ornaments and benefits of New Haven civilization. We mean the telephone girl. We do not say tele- phone lady, because telephone girl is accurately descriptive and because it is better to be telephone girl than a telephone lady, if the facts will allow it.
 as they will in this case.
 Nobody ever sees the telephone girl, except those to whom she is not chiefly and solely the telephone girl It is perhaps well that she is not very visi-
 ble, for the charm of her exterior might
 initiate in some degree against the
 charm that she, unseen, sends over the
 wires at the rate of 100000 miles a
 second and with force of several volts.
 We do not mean, of course, that the
 charm of her exterior is in any way in
 ferior to her telephonic and electric
 charm, but where there are two charms
 to be considered the impressions of both
 are apt to be less strong and clear than the impression of either alone would be.
 Therefore it is we'll to have her out of sight, and probably it is safer. But so long as we can continue to hear her we need not pine to see her. And if we can learn the lessons sne can teach us we shall do pretty well without seeing her. Chief among these lessons are Pa tience and Good Nature. They talk about Patience seated on a monument smiling at Grief, but when that idea was put afloat they didn't have the telephone girl seated on her stool and managing simultaneously a refractory telephone and refractory subscriber to the same. We suppose that the pa tience and the good nature of the tele-
 phone girl are partly natural and partly | mercenary But in their tout ensemble, as the learned Register might say, they are fine, and it would be ungra- cious to inquire closely into the pro- portion of the component parts of the tout ensemble. Seven, eight, nine or ten hours day of unvarying patience and good na ture in the midst of thoughtless haste, arrogance, pomposity, ignorance, foolishness, irritability, injustice, flip pancy and flirtatiousness make an achievement which entities the tele-
 phone girl to be hereafter taken as model for Patience statuary and to be the emblem of Good Nature. It also
 fits her to enter the marriage state with
 good hope of continuance therein or to
 stay single without becoming sour. And
 it makes her a glorious ensample for
 imitation by all who are helped and endured by her.
 While the New Haven telephone girl
 can teach great moral lessons by her daily conversation, she can also teach the correct use of the English language.
 Did you ever notice how accurately she commits her words to the lightning? She doesn't say q can't get um," or even "I can't get 'em.'' She says "I can't get them" fair and square She
 doesn't say Vas or ''Yuss." but ''Yes."
 And she doesn't say it with an old
