4 GREAT B4TTLE.

That is 6 great battle which has been raging in New Haven for the last few days and nights, especially nights. We mean the battle between the folks and the mosquitoes. The army of mosquitoes that has attacked the city is big one. It succeeded in surprising the inhabit- ants No sign of its approach was perceptible, and its first assault was delivered with skill and suddenness. It was repulsed, for the brave people of New Haven whose ancestors fought the British were not to be conquered by mosquitoes. But undismayed by the repulse, the mosquitoes returned to the attack, and have continued to re- turn as often as they have been driven away. All over the city the sounds of the conflict have been heard. The war-song of the mosquito has mingled with the clash of weapons and the groans and curses of victims. The slaughter of the mosquitoes has been large. It is probable that at least 87,- 900 have fallen, and there is woe in many mosquito families. The defend- CTS have also suffered much, but their sufferings seem only to excite them to more deeds of vengeance. The out come of the battle cannot be in doubt, and as the mosquitoes don't seem to know when 1t is prudent to re- treat and are eager to die on the field of battle, they can and will be accom- modated with the death they seek. It is a great fight, and the victory will be a famous one.

THE LATE LAMENTEp.

Silence, like a poultice, has come to heal the blows of sound that have been 50 long struck in the capitol at Hart ford, but the echoes of the blows are .reverberating through the State, and will long reverberate. The general suspicion seems to be that the late lamented legislature on the whole meant well, but it didn't know as much as 1t ought to have known, and 1t didn't learn as fast as it ought to have learned So 1t went wavering and generally disappointing course, ending in an exhibition which was as much of a failure as some of it's oth- Ter work had been, for while the exhi- bition was intended to be gay and fes- tive it was vulgar and depressing.
 What is the remedy? There doesn't seem to be any in plain sight. Still, the fact remains that the people can have about the kind of government they want and are fitted for, and some shrewd observers think that is about the kind they do get Various devices to help them get better government are proposed, but they all seem to have their excuse in lack of real good citizenship.
