whaling at AmaganseJu,

Away out on the eastern end of Long Is
land, almost as much at sea as though it
were an island by itself, is the little fish
ing village of Amagansett. 1t lies directly
on the ocean, and has neither harbor nor
wharfs nor ships, yet it is known far up
and down the coast as whaling town, for
it is ut this point, strange to say, that the
whales come eearcst to tho land. They are
sighted first within few miles of ANA
gansctt.
The weather seasoned surfmen, who fish
through the breakers for food fish, will
give you a dozen reasons why this is so
and why their little navy is unique among
the fishing fleets of the north Atlantic
coast. But they are mostly guesses, and
we only know that the whales have fav-
ored Amagansett thus for many years.
During all the summer and fall the hardy
fishermen who live in the gray cottages
among tho dunes set their nets for blue
and weak fish, but from the end of winter
to early summer they become fishermen of
moro heroic cast, and chase and take and
land the biggest fish" that swims-the
whale. Nearly every season whales are
sighted by the life savers who patrol the
beach, or by the lookout at the life saving
Station, and when one or more of them are
taken, the occasion is one to be marked
with white stone in the history of the
sleepy little village. -Harper's Weekly.

FAREWELL ADDRESS

Delivered by the Rev Charles D. Mil.
 iiken ia Pilgrim Church. Canaan,
 Conn.,, oa Sunday, January IT, 1897
 Dear Friends:-You know t at this is my last Sunday here. It certainly would be ungrateful in me not to &C., knowledge the kindness and the patience which as & church and as individuals you have shown to me in our intercourse together.
 Iu material things this has been in some ways quite a model churcb; the prnmptness and responsiveness on your part in these matters merit special rec ognitinn In the spirit of union, hsr- mory has shouuded so that good fellow ship prevails among you together with ci srity; for this too I sm grateful. Ii in ,hese things you continue to be B. you have been-and surely you will th. rr will he DO occasion for grief on the part of him who shall follow me.
 Concerning your deeper. spiritual ex- periences as individuals it is not for me to speak Snch things can be estimated only with spiritual discernmehs. and G"d who Is Spirit is the only trne judge. If He has heipei me to speak His truth in ways that have been helpful to yon let us be thankful to Him. Tba. this has been so in some little measure I may assume from the kind testimony which many of you have given me over your names and from a number of per soLal testimonies both written and spo- ken. They have been thankfully re- ceived and deeply appreciated. May the evidence of car grrwth together iu spiritual life show itself in spiritual ways as the rest of our years run by. I cannot speak without emotion of our seasons of sorrow. No one of the lives that have known here that are gone can I forget, from the aged with white hair to the youngest child. Let them be as lights in Heavens windows to us all. brightening our way thither.
 Then we have rj,iced and had many smile in common. What would life be without them? hope you will have many more If a thought with smile in it presents itself leRitimatels on the Lord's day in the Lords house, do not reprove it; it will do no harm. Heaven is full of what makes pleasure; this should be it's gateway.
 Our ways are now to diverge I want your good wishes and prayers to go with me Mir Dickens puts into the mouth of Steerforth sentiment like this: "Copper6-ld. wherever go and what ever experience comes I want you all ways to think of me at my best" So, friends, if it happens that we never meet together in this little church again as we are here this morning-be- cause you kEow how the years with age and disease sweep us ere we are aware-les us plan to meet and recog- nize and understand one another better than on earth. in the ageless life where sin and sorrow and parting are un known; where ev. ry thing is beautiful with immortal youth. Good bye.

ONE DAY FOR HUMAN LIBERTY.

Lovers of Freedom Asked 10 Give That
 Much 10 Cuba's Cause.
 (From the New York Sun, January Il. lss7.l
 To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The bounden duty of the United States as the representative republic of the world is to promote. extend. and defend gov ernment by the people when and wher- ever, in this hemisphere at least, an op- por.unity is offered to do so by lawful and honorable means.
 Cuba, at our very doors demands ard deserves our active aud effective sup port. Her people are making heroic sacrifices of life and treasure to gam the freeiom which we now enjoy. and the happiness and prosperity which it has secured 10 us. They are Americans. They have a right as such to sppesl to u~ for support in the terrifi, struggle they are now making to gain their fn- dependence If we fail to aid them we are traitors to human liberty, and false to downtrodden humanity.
 The Government of Spain IS far more tyranbical and oppressive iu its dealings with the Cubsn people than the Cavern ment of Gr.st Britain was in its treat mebt of our forefsthers who fought for seven long years to obtain for us self government.
 Cuha, the fairest land upon earth. after 400 years of misgovernment by Spain, has population of l. GOO 000 Uuder conditions which embarrass, restrict, and discourage production. the foreign trade of the United States with that is- land for the fiscal year 1893 was Sl03.- 900, ,O00 It is greater than our trade with any other countries except Great Britain, Germany and France. Cuba can easily msintain in comfort popula- ton of 10 900 900 and with free and stable institutions and reasonable taxa tioE our trade with that island can he trebled within ten years. so that by sid ing the Cubans to gain their iudepend ence we can at the same time promote our own interests.
 It is said of Cuba by those who are giving s;d and comfort to Spain that the people are not prepared for self-eov. ernment From 1868 to 1878 they he roically resisted the power of Spain. and abandoned their struggle for ipdepend. ence only on a promise from Spain oi self-government, which promise Spain | to h III huII ! hers. and without material resources, un. fit for self-gnyernment ar self-control conld not have maintained for so many years their resistance to Spanish tyran ny Their willingness to sacrifice Tiff, i and treasure for liberty indicates theii ability to govern themselves.
 i I am authentioally informed ths' every Cnhan resident in the United States is giving from one to three days l income per week to aid the cause o Cuban independence If every Ameri can freeman will contribute one day. income to the same cause the indepeud euce of Cuba will be secured withou regard to the action of the President O Congress.
 The Cuban League of the United States. composed of American citizens appeals to all classes and to every love of human freedom in this republic t send contributions. great or small. t. Charles H. Denison, 3S Park Row, NeV

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Editor of Nsscs |:

Editor of Ns.cs:
 Why did you not save that "coon" article of mine until after my demise and then 1t would have been feature to use as "sn unpublished article by Iuhabitant" Ia Robert Louis Steven. son or Du Maurier. The article had the eff-ct of stirring up the ire of some of the better class of Sheffield colored psople, thing not intended and surely unnecessary if they read it carefully. noticed last week a new scribe, "Subscriber;" and by the way. yon seem to have as large a corps os space writers as the New York Worli. and what has become of the Arab, Ben Somewhere or SometLing?" Is the town too dead for him?
 "Subsc,iber" amuses me with his projects and mostly so with the poultry show Does he not know that the ponl. ! try fanciers of Southern Berkshire snd Northwestern Connecticut have tried pc ultry showing at Ct Harrington and at Wiusted and that both enterprise gradually sank into innocnous desuetnd, Aud poultry show in our Town Hall in Canaan in the first place is unsafe. fol if 1t should rain the poor chicks would be drowned; and in the second plsce the etf-cts chicken show in the hall wouid be as hard to get rid of as tax collector. Does ''Subscriber" not know that the Grange st East Canaan are having inst such course of lectures ss he describes and that farmers and all people from our village are privileged to attend. And East Canaan Is not far away.
 remember an editorial in your paper over year ago predicting dull winter season for '95-6 m bu~lness and social circles, aud that you painted out the Whist Club as bright sr ot in the dark. ness, also in later issue you stated that Canaan was convalescing from the busi- ness panic. In qnite long letter in the spring of 1896 l pointed ont some of the opportunities that Canaan didn' I gather in. I was taken to task by an. other writer for my unpicturesqnepaint- ing of Canaan. but I want to ask how much better of are we in the winter oI 1897 than we were in 1896? Socially we haven't even the bright spots of the Whist or NJ ondsy Evening clubs this season and the dsncing classes, which ''Subscriber" don't like, are hardly SO cial functions There have been a nun. Der of deaths and great deal of sadness this last season, and iu little village llke tl,is effects the soclal spirit 10 8 great degree Ia that long letter oi mine, which referred to, said that Canaan is retrogrsding and I wonder how far from right wss. can see or. dinarily well but the X rays will be nee. essary to discover Canaan's business boom. We tried the experiments of an experienced road maker last year with the result that now the roads are in the immediate charge of the selectmeu and what they say goes-somewhere. We have a dozAn or more empty tenements Jas many if not more than last yesr) and looking about everywhere don't see as we are much on the move Will Sub scriber" suggest something more fessi. ble than the lecture course or the poul- try show for in connection with the lat. ter I remember some few years ago the collapse of farmers exhibition and sales day which was really good thing for the farmer and the town.
