FARMERS WORRIED.

FARMERS WORRIED.
SO complete was the absorption of the
people in Arkansas over pearl gathering
that farmers worried over their poor
prospects for crop gathering. BY the
middle of September, 1897, the ST. Louis
jewelers. began to be flooded with Ar
kansas pearls and a lot of stuff which
was not pearls and had no value. he
extreme disappointment of those who
forwarded packages which were not
worth the postage and the clearing out
of all the accessible shells led to the de-
cline of the craze. .
Connecticut had it's share of the pearl
fever, n several valuable finds were
reported from the headwaters of the
Mystic liver as well as from the other
end of the state, along the Shepaug
river, in Litchtield county. The methods
of one methodical and careful hunter in
this county could be followed with
profit elsewhere. This man uses pincerS,
by which he examines the shell, and if
there is no pearl in it he returns the shell
to the water, thus giving it a chance to
develop into something worth while.

To begin at the beginning. each sculptor who

careful and accurate model Of his conception, or
a small size. These are set up on pedestals' and
then the work of producing replicas Of them on
an heroic scale is begun. The artisans who are
employed TO do this must be men of consider

Exercises commemorative of the bat
tie OF san Jacinto were held at several
points in Texas Friday last. AT San
Antonio there was flower carnival.
which was attended by almost the en-
tire population and fifteen thousand
visitors from Texas, Mexico and the In
dian Territory. The Baltimore Sun
says of this affair: 1.-The procession was
reviewed by Governor Sayers and staff
In front Of the Alamo. The parade con-
sisted Of a battalion of the Sixth Infan-
a battalion of volunteers and cadets.
A section was composed of nnety-four
deliberately decorated carriages, ba-
rouches, landaus, phaetons and carts, a
cavalcade of horsemen and horsewomen
pony cavalcade and donkey brigade,
q bicycle corps of one hundred and
twenty decorated wheels and a section
OF the fire department decorated by The
ladies of the city. The United CONNER
cial Travellers, in State convention, par
ticipated. The battle took place before
Governor Savers reviewing stand and
lasted an hour and half. The con-

GLORIOUS.

Glorious was the exclamation heard
| everywhere on receipt of the news from
the Philippines yesterday and Of the re-
Spouse of congratulation thereto by the
President. 1t is indeed news which re-
joices the heart of every lover of the
country and the old flag. Brilliant has
been the work of our brave boys in those
far-off isles of the sea, and their valor
has added a glorious new page to our
country's history. Their splendid work
under tropical sun, their forttude
under hardships, their skill, daring and
intrepidity, rebound to the honor of our
American arms. The conflict has been
ency and now the end of the conflict
and the speedy submission of the en-
envy appears to be assured All honor
to our brave leaders and their brave
forces in the Philippines. AS in Cuba
and as in every war in which our ma
ton has been engaged, our, troops
fought gloriously. All honor to our
noble President, too, whose work has
been that of the statesman as well as
of the patriot. If indeed the carnage
is about over in the Philippines, as now
appears to be the case, there will be
less grumbling and less criticism from
certain quarters where the course of
the administration has not been ap-
proved. 1t is cause for rejoicing for all
if the shedding of blood is over in the
Philippines. A grateful nation will
cherish the memory Of our brave men
whose lives have been sacrificed upon
their countrys altar in the struggle.
Great is the cause for JOY if the war;
as IS now indicated, is practically over
The misguided islanders, untitled for
self-g government, have been fighting
against their own best interests. against
most humane power which will give
them peace and good government in
place of misrule and anarchy. Under
American rule their homes will be safe
from pillage, their families protected,
their rights respected and no more will
they be subject to the caprices of auto
Gratis or the rapacity of despotic author
ity. The flag of this country waving
over the islands will mean, as it does
here, the equality of all men before the
law and guarantee for equal and ex-
act Justice to all. 1t means that these
islands which nature has made an
earthly paradise, will become a paradise
indeed to live in compared with what
they have been in the past

PLAINVILLE CAMP GROUND.

To the Editor of the journal and Courier.
AS the beautiful spring weather opens,
and winter throws Off her mantle of
snow and ice, which has been unusually
heavy the past winter, cur thoughts
turn towards the beautiful Camp
Ground" situated about two miles from
Plainville center, with it's eozy little
cottages, sheltered by the tall oak and
spreading chestnut trees where we
have heard the early songsters herald
ing the picturesque sunrise, which
would not fail to wake the most pro-
found slumberer.
We think there are few places where
one comes more closely in touch with
nature than at the old Camp Ground"
with its winding avenues and shady
hooks so well adapted to rest and quiet
ness after the busy turmoil of the by
gone seasons, and then, too, there is a
kind of sacredness about the place
which we do not forget.
We think there is no more restful
haven, with all its quiet loneliness, than
