UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS.

In accordance with a newly enacted law, the Canaan Savings Bank this week publishes a list of the persons having accounts with that bank, who have neither added to, subtracted from or withdrawn their deposits during the last twenty years or more.
 The list appears in another part of this issue of The News, and shows amounts, counting accrued interest to date, ranging from $2.31, (Leon F. : Hoag, to $124.14, (Adelbert Weaver, deceased.)
 A number of these depositors are known to be dead and the others are either dead or in parts unknown.
 One entry credits J. B. Hardenbergh, treasurer of the Tobacco Growers h. surance Company, with $1I2.90 Col. Hardenbergh diel nearly 25 years ago, and the Tobacco Growers Insurance Company went out of business long be. fore that time.
 The publication of this list will doubtless have the effect ot bringing either the depositors or their heirs or Fclaimepts of estates, around to the bank, to "prove property and take it away The total amount to the credit of the eleven depositors in the list is S326.67.

Referring to ''pungent excoriation of Anthony Comstock, that appeared ill Reedy's St. Louis Mirror, under the heading, "From an Old Farm House, the New Haven Union says: "The author talks about John Rodemeyer's New Canaan and Henry Roraback's Connecticut as vilely as if someone had given the injured party wooden nut megs in exchange for all his dough. |" After quoting from the excoriation, the Union observes caustically that possibly Connecticut is to blame for the author living in "an old farm house," and adds: ''One might even be pardoned for suspecting that the old farm house. isssin reality an old out-house."

Mark Twain on Genders.

Our ability to personify sea ship by using the pronoun "she" and to keep the Zeppelin in place as "it" brings out one strong point of our language. It is impossible to be so subtle in French. which has no neuter, or in German, with its arbitrary scattering of enders. Mark Twain gave as a typical instance of good German: Wilhelm, where is the turnip ?" "She has gone to the kitchen. " ''Where is the accomplished and beauti- ful English maiden ?'' "It has gone to the opera" Mark went on to ob- serve that in Germany a tree is male, IFS buds female, its leaves neuter; horses are sexless, dogs male, cats fe- male, including tomcats. By some oversight of the inventor of the lan- guage woman is female but wife (weib) is not. "-London Mail.

Canaan onto the editor of The Ne gs, and Editor John Hersham, of the New Canaan Advertiser. is abundantly cap able of upholding the banner of "the next station to Heaven," we may be counted with J. Henry and the Union in resenting any aspersions upon the good old State in which we live, when such aspersiOns really deserve atten. tion. It hardly appears, however, that the excoriatiOn from which the Union quotes, is worth the powder. For in stance, The Reedy's Mirror writer says:
 "When once you have said man is C)nnecticut-b born, you can save yOnr voice as to the rest of his damnation. Bernard Shaw didn't know this; that is the reason he wrote whole article about Comstockery. True, once i'll d while, little Connecticut boy realizes Gin those sudden bursts of horror which overwhelm little children) that he is a Connecticutter and runs away promptly to Chicago or points west, and there grows up to be a worthy citizen who won't steal your eye teeth if you are looking. < In default of actual figures 1 will simply state that Con. nectic1t leads the States of the nation in lunacy, drunkenness, degeneracy, caves dropping, arson, petty thievery, scandal mongering, and smut-spread- ing, using the party-phone as dicta, phone, amateur detective work, old he- wives, and skunks. There are more skunks caught annually ill Connecticut than in the Hudson's Bay region; and besides this, a good many skunks are raised domestically.
 "Therefore, knowing these things, I am not one of those who will hasten to cast the glass eye of doubt upon Anthony's motives.'
 We don't know much about Reedy's St. Louis Mirror, but in this instance it plainly reflects a barn-yard mucker. The only reasonable explanation of the peculiar trend of what this refined author probably calls his mind, is that he doubtless has cause to hate Anthony Comstock-his classic literary style be- trays tendency to produce the stripe of literature which Comstock devoted his life to suppressing; and mayhap lie operated in Connecticut at some time or another, and his departure was ac- tolerated by that same Comstock. Such a theory would account for his affection for both Comstock and Connecticut. That being so, it may truthfully be said, "He left his country for his country's good"-but poor St. Louis!

Walter Prichard Eaton, in "Stock bridge'' for July, comments on the "safe and sane Fourth" arguments i'll sane fashion. He approves the Sex cellent sentiments and the familiar and irrefutable argument" against "dyna- mite, rowdyism and midnight uproar, 7" but suggests that these elements of the national celebration must be substituted with something equally interesting in their place." Which seems reasonable. If the younger element of American patriots-native or foreign-cannotg give expression to their ebullient patriotism at home, they will go elsewhere, where there is something dcing."

Much is being made of the circum- stance that a squirrel ran up the fore leg of horse in Winsted, (of course it happened in Winsted,) and when the horse shook the little animal loose it ran up the horses hind-leg and was shaken loose again, when it "f1itted away" For Winsted story this is hardly worth while. and we suspect Lew Stone was absent-minded when the occurrence occurred. What proba- bly, happened was this: The horse ran up the fore-leg of the squirrel, but the squirrel kicked it loose, whereupon the horse fitted up the squirrels hind-leg and bit the little beast ill the trump before it backed down. In recording these Winsted occurrences due regard should be had for the possibilities as we'll as the probabilities.

MAJoR PRESTON'S PEN.

A description was printed in the Hartford Sunday Courant. last week, of the office of Major E. V. Preston. the popular veteran general manager of agencies of the Travellers Insurance Company, who was presented with in- nunerable gifts, includ ng a Sl,000 bill, on the 50th anniversary of his con- nection with the Company. In the description, reference was made to the overgrown pen on Major Preston s desk. "This famous pen. " says the Courant, "known to Travellers men the length and breadth of the country, is an inch and a half loug, by three-quarters of an inch wide, ami is in a penhulder eigh- teen inches, or more long aud nearly an inch in diameter at its thickest oint. Years ago the major decided to use such a pen, for he signs hundreds of docu- ments every day and he found that with such a pen he could avoid much of the strain caused by using a smaller one, which he would have to grip more tightly"
 If the genial Major takes comfort with his, big pen, we can assure him that he would find a positive joy in yielding the BTobdingnagian pen that hangs upon the wall of The News sanc- tum. This, pen-a gift to the editor from the late Edward Clarke, of Win sted, who died month agO-is of solid gold or something, and measures, (the pen alone, eight inches i'll length and three inches ill breadth. The holder, telescopic affair of solid silver or some- thing, measures four feet in length, and the whole combination tips the beam at two pounds avoirdupois. The pen bears the engraved inscription, "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword, ]" and there is no reason to doubt that under strenuous conditions this parti- cnlar pen would prove mightier than a bung-starter.

Nv Mother.

The twilight falls on mothers life, The golden sunset gleams
 But faintly now; The gathering shadows, too, are rife 5 With fears: the suns last beams
 Grow dim-Somehow They trouble not-My Mother. Iris who weep at'close of day, For, as the dark comes down,
 Mine are the fears. 1 fain would fend her night away, I'd hide the proffered crown,
 Though Heaven hears. No anxious thought-has Mother. Her graying locks were once so dark, With ringlets prodigal,
 was a child; Her voice-the linnet and the lark Sang in her younger call
 And me beguiled, I've not forgot-O Mother. Dear God, hold back those twiligh
 shades,
 Heavens shining land is blessed
 With angels fair; If night descends, my earth-light fades No comfort lies in heart distressed;
 If she were there I'd be distraught-for Mother.
