seventeenth Century Wagons.

The introduction of stage wagons in England about the middle of the sey- enteenth century led to many abuses. In London they were known as .'hell carts" on account of the hot time they gave the unfortunates inside. Their drivers were said to be seldom sober, mover civil and always late," and their size-copied by other vehicles-was such that when they broke down all traffic behind twas necessitated to stand stock still on most beastly deep. wet ways till it pleased them to jog on." During the reign of Charles II. parliament passed an act concerning the size of carts and wagons, with ex tremely heavy penalties for infringe ments, but when the act came to be applied it was discovered that the mod ell prescribed by it was impracticable to such an extent that the judges gave directions not to enforce the act.

 | Hartford. May 26.-When this gets | into print that certain members of the 1.committee on Appropriations are seri- ously contemplating the strangi1ng O. the tuberculosis bill there'H be buzz ing.
 There must be a stop somewhere in Appropriations. A superficial com ment on Gov. Lilley's message was
 that he recommended a lot of expen- sive things and then said the treasury
 was low. Like a good and progressive
 business man he pointed out where certain expenditures ought to be made and then he said methods must be oe- vised to look after the treasury. Attention has been called in thls correspondence to the palpable fact that the Legislature as a whole shas
 been rather willing to vote expend1- lures but has been remarkably averse
 to devising means to increase the rev
 enue Tbe aversion doubtless reflects
 the sentiments of constituents
 Sey yeral bills carrying large appro-
 priationS have gone through without
 much trouble; they were for things
 that it was felt, were necessary. With
 most schemes for picking up Httle
 more revenue here and there knocked in the head, it follows as daylight the dark that there must be halt some where. Will the tuberculosis bill fur nish the place?
 That bill, it is to be remembered, is the enc bill with an approprlation that was flatIy indorsed in the platforms of the parties last fall. The 1ndorse- ment was the result of a vigorous de mand on the part of the people They thought fully as much of it as they did of a new bridge at Saybrook, let us say. A competent commission had studied long and earnestly and the plan they mapped out was considered reasonably economical, all things con sidered.
 The bill carries an appropriation of about s35O0OO, hut not as an immed- ;ate expenditure. For the farms, houses, equipment. salaries etc., for two years the amount would be Sl75,- coo This would allow for 300 beds. When they are all filled. the expense might figure up to $350, 900.
 The estimated expense of main tenance for each bed is s1O, but that is an outside figure and it is thought it can be brought down to SS- If it is s1O. the States share would be $6; if it is $S $4 If the plan is of any use at all we shall see a dfninution of the white plague to such an extent that after a little this expense would be diminishing. What it means in the way of ena bling people to resist disease and to continue as producerS-how it all counts up in the economy Of the State-is too thoroughly understood to need further exploitation here- The people have expressed their sentiments on the subject.
 It cannot be said that the Approprla- tions committee has decided to report some of the members are much in favor of it; but it is under stood that other members have con

The editor had the pleasure OF
