 Like Washington, Jefferson delight ed in farming. ''The hope of a nation,' he wrote in his youth, "lies in the till H CTS of the soils" In his final retirement az Monticello a guest addressed him tremendously as President Jefferson" :" Farmer Jefferson" the distinguished 2 statesman interposed. q would rather be Farmer Jefferson than to have all z the titles of Europe" His garden book. & covering a period of half a century, $ shows the precision with which he farmed at Monticello. Here. for exam pie, is an excerpt from his memoranda for July of one year: "July 15, cucum bers came to table: planted out celery; sowed patch of peas for fall: planted snap beans: July p. had the. last dish ! of our spring peas: July 31, had Irish potatoes from the garden
 That was quite an interesting meet Ing which took place at Hartford last Sunday between Archbishop Falconio, apostolic delegate to the United States, Father Slocum of the Immaculate Con- ception parish, Waterbury. and William J Duncan. the East Main street drug gist, who is one of dozen or more per- sons whom Archbishop Falconio bap- tized when he was an assistant at the Immaculate Conception church in 1870. Father Slocunn. introduced MT Duncan to the archbishop and then went on to tell why his friend. the druggist, was SO anxious to meet him. The eminent churchman gave MT Duncan very cordial reception and talked of his con nection with the parish Of the Immacu- late Conception in a maner which showed that he possesses wonderful ly retentive memory. and. like all oth- CTS who have done missionary work here, has a warm spot in his heart for the place and the people.
 The late Cardinal Manning in one of his great charity sermons, said: 'Things were out of joint when in this country fEnglandl the mother was forced by circumstances to go from her home to work5 Woman cannot give, satisfaction to an employer in the fac tory and care for her little ones at home. and it is a serious question to the American parent. Are we better off. are we happier than the Latin countries where women never go from their homes to labor and where chil- dren are loved and even the hove1 is home? Carroll D. Wright, United States labor commissioner. gives four reasons why most women workers re- ceive smaller pay than men.

 The brutal assassination of the roy al family at Servia has prompted many 
 for alarm at the unusual influx of im- migrants into this country from south ern Europe and that it is very op- portune time to seriously consider what can be done to save the United States from the menace that threatens it on account of the great influx of undesir- able newcomers. When such a thing. as hhat can happen among people of the higher grades" said a prominent citizen, "why should we be surprised at anything that might occur in places where one has not a right to expect much from the public? Are we going to stand by and see those people pour ing in until they outnumber us?'' There may be something in this, but after all what is there at the bottom of the out rageous crime committed at Servia but an itch for office on the part of the fel- lows on tie outside? There is class fin the old world who claim that all the political jobs belong to them and if things happen to go against them they feel in duty bound to go to any length to carry their point Things are not quite as bad as that in this country yet but they are drifting in that direc- tdon.

 The death of John Dillane removes from the sphere of action in this life one of the most interesting citizens of fhis town, who answered Lincoln's call for men in '61 to maintain the indis- solubility of the Union. He lived to see most of his neighbors and ac- quaintances who responded to duty with him gathered to their fathers, and saw good share of the blessings that came to the country from the cause which he assisted in bringing to suc- cessful termination. He was not in the habit of exploiting upon his own part in the conflict and 1t was only when narrating the heroism of his com, eades that one could get an insight into what he had passed through He was chock full of war stories, but the one he used to tell with most emotion was of little banquet he participated in one St Patrick's day on the camp grounds with members of Meagher's brigade.
