These are the days when tho summer winds
blow gently Ger the land,
when the waters wash in ripplng lines along
the edge Of Sand
When the arrows of light at the early dawn,
shoot UP thro' the mist OF Tho east,
And silver the foam at the rise Of The sun,
with the light that is ever increas'd
And never till times shadowy wings o'ercast
our fading lights,
Shall we forget our nobler dreams, the plans

For the world may frown on us, tho heavy
be her hand,
We care not tho she trouble us, and all our
ways withstand.
The skies IN greyish monotones in morning
oft arise,
At sunset evenings gorgeous red suffuse the
western skies.
'Tis now we feel the mighty prestige OF this
honor'd place,
Like the rounding of the circle on the waters

So cmulous may we depart from this smooth
swarded bower,
To ply the tasks with vigorous zeal, not rest.

VEST PULLED DOWN.
Why the Missouri Senator Did Not
Make a Speech

Why the Missouri senator Did Not
Make a Speech.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. "a
large audience in the Senate galleries
was considerably disappointed today
over the failure of Senator Vest to
make a speech on the Presidents pre-
rogative for Cuban recognition and the
consequent failure of Senator Hill to
reply to him. The Misrepresentation as
TO the Senator's intentions grew out of
the fact that he had said that he would
call up" the resolution today. He
had said nothing of any intention to
make a speech, but every one rushed
to the conclusion that he could have no
other purpose in getting it up.
The opponents of the Cuban resolu-
tions assert that the Missouri Senator's
failure TO talk is due to the fact that
he had been induced to look into au-
thorities which do not sustain his
views of the question, and that he has
concluded to investigate further before
speaking.
We've got them beaten" said Sena-
tor Hale, speaking for the anti-Cuban-
ties.
"On a vote?" was asked. The reply
was in the affirmative.

DIR. J. HAMMOND TRUMBULL

A Tribute to His Work and Worth.
 Clarence Deming, the Observer" writes as follows in the New York Sun day World:
 At the age of 76 years, after long failing health, has passed away Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull of Hartford, schol- ar, archaeological, historian and head of the famous Watkinson library, which has been so largely built up by his per- sonal and affectionate labors. In those circles of men and women who know of Connecticut, her institutions and her affairs, perhaps no one in the state could have left us with a deeper void by his death than Dr. Trumbull, and 1t is passing strange that but a single newspaper, the Hartford Courant, should have paid fitting obituary trib- ute to his life and work. But perhaps the fact is due to Dr. Trumbulls iden- tity with the older generation of men and things and his comparative lapse of late years into the scholastic quiet ude.
 The aggregate of Dr. Trumbulls la bors has been enormous and enormous
 ly valuable, but somewhat discontinu- ous. The collation. and editing of vol
 ume of records, the essay, the search
 ing investigation of a point in history, the exposure of a fraud like that of the
 Cardiff giant, the classification of old
 pamphlets and manuscripts, have been
 in his line rather than the systematic
 construction of volume. The excep-
 tion to this rule is, perhaps, his labor
 on the subject of the Indian life and
 language, where he has been without a
 peer in New England and, perhaps, the world.
 AS pioneer in our state history, he has both broken and bIazed a way for successors, and the accumulation of materials he has made has been simply vast. Couple what he has done with the work of State Librarian Hoadly, and no two Connecticut men are worthy to be named on the same page. A wonderful memory, facile grasp of a subject, an extremely wide range of topics, and willingness to diffuse his knowledge, all rounded off the intellect ual personality of man who in Con- necticut affairs has been a sort of hu- man cyclopaedia, carefully and fully l indexed, and if the figure of speech may be granted, with leaves automat- ically turning. In these days of geneal- ogical and antique eagerness the use i fitness of such a man must be meas 1 ured by fancy rather than by descrip- | ton.
 With him, and with the rapid ageing l of MT. Hoadly, goes for time at least our hopes of that adequate and com plete history of our commonwealth which so many persons have been at once suggesting and yearning for. l Trumbull could have done it as no other man.
