The nonchalance of boys who are
sure Of dinner, and would disdain as
much as lord to do or say aught to
conciliate one, is the healthy attitude
of human nature. How is boy the
master of society! Independent, IRE
sponsible, looking out from his corner
on such people and facts as pass by,
he tries and sentences them ON their
merits, in the swift summary ways of
boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly,
eloquent troublesome. He cumbers
himself never about consequences,
about interests; he gives an independ-
ent, genuine verdict. You must court
him; he does not court Emerson.

 Wilmington, N. C.. Dec 24.-Miss Mary c.

 Miss Darby, who was a candidate for, reappointment, secured large number of strong ations, which she gave to the former govern or, and then sent him to Washington. It has just been announced here that Mrs D. l.. Russell, the former govern or's wife, is to receive the appoint ment. At the same time Miss Darby received a letter from Governor Rus sell offering her the place of assistant postmaster This she indignantly de clined, saying she would be postmas- ter or nothing.

ADIEU TO WATERBURY.
Mayor KiIduff Leaves for His New Home Served the City
 a Long Time.

One Waterbury man, Mayor Kilduff, will spend his first Christmas outside the city of his birth. Wonder how 1t will feel to him to live in great city like New York after so many years of active life In Waterbury ? Mayor Kilduff was educated in the public schools of Waterbury and took a preparatory course at Yale. 1t was his intention to study law and become a member of the Connecticut Bar as- sociation. but in 1878, when he was q prominent member of a very popular organization, the Rose Hill Social club, he was nominated and elected to the office of city clerk and held it until 1893, when he was chosen mayor and was reelected continuously since with the exception of one term when Thomas D. Barlow defeated him by few votes. At the succeeding election Barlow lost to Kilduff by over fifteen hundred votes. Mayor Kilduf and his family left yesterday for their home in New York. The mayor has been here right along and will return Monday and remain at his post until his term of office exires on the first Monday in January.
 Mayor Kilduff has proved himself a model public official. He has the good fortune of being able to say in the
