Away back in the dark days of 1861, when the first call came for volunteers in the war with the south, this same From" Waller was known all over the state as the Brilliant Boy Orator" but that title was as objectionable to him. perhaps, just as much as is the Grand Old Man He was one of the very first to mount the rostrum in the old courthouse, or a drygoods box in the street, and talk for the preserva- tion of the union. Not only that; he was among the very first to step up and enlist, and he has the real honor of having been a member of the first company that went from New London in the Civil war. What he did then he would undoubtedly do now. were he eligible. While the then young Waller did not. participate in any of the great battles of the war, it was not of his choosing. He was rejected from military duty after short service by reason of defective eyesight, a de- feet that could not be overcome. He offered to risk his life for country. Who could do more?

Just at this time when there is ar-
 engagement for increased ferry service,
 with special trips to the government
 shipyard on the east bank of the har-
 Dor, an ubiquitous reporter learns that the ferry committee has sold the spare ferryboat Colonel Ledyard to a junk man and that the craft is to be broken
 up for the wood and metal there is in
 her construction. Just how much the committee received for the boat the
 reporter evidently did not ascertain, or
 it may be that the committee did not
 want the public to know that feature
 of the transaction at the present time Surely the purchase price must have
 been at least $500, and if that be so the wonder is that the rules of the council were not compiled with and bids asked for the purchase. It may
 be that a committee of the court of common council has the right to sell property at will. regardless of council action or city meeting permission, but it did not use to be so, when the late Charles Augustus Williams was mayor of New London, or even when the now Senator Frank B. Brandegee was cor poration counsel.

The local policemen have donned white gloves and white caps for the summer, and it is extremely difficult for the uninitiated to tell a cop from naval officer. and vice versa, and there are a great many naval officers in New London. The officers of the navy are held up frequently and mis- taken for policemen and are q1eried on matters that are wholly within the province of the police, and on the other hand the local cops are called upon to answer questions that are propounded under the supposition that they are representatives of the navy Natural ly the townspeople can tell cop by his walk a block away and never con- fuse the one with the other The sec retary of the navy was in New London on Friday, and he may note the sinni- larity in dress and may issue orders to Mayor Rogers to have the local police prevented from nasquerading as naval officers.

IreIand's Patroness.

The first day Of February is the an
nlversary Of st. Bride, or Briget, the
"patroness" Of Ireland and Of Fleet
street. She was the beautiful daugh-
ter Of an Irish bard, and her story
seems to have fred the Celtic imagi-
nation. Wherever the early Irish mis-
sionaries wandered in western Europe,
from Cologne to Seville, churches or
abbeys will be found dedicated to her
honor, and wherever the "exiles Of
Erin" may migrate the name Of Brid-
get marks a woman Of Irish race. The
spire of her church in Fleet street has
been repeatedly struck by lightning

Some Of them embody that sense Of the

dish OF peaches at each place, and an

And ~ soon a. possible he took his
hat and walked hurriedly away. He
never called at the parsonage again.
A few weeks after this Carol distin-
guished herself again, and to her last
ing modification. A man living only
six blocks from the parsonage had gen.
erously offered Mr.. Starr free pastur-
ago for his pretty little Jersey in his
broad meadow, and the offer was CRATE
fully accepted. This meant that every
evening the twins must walk after the
COW, and every morning must take her
back for the days grazing.
One evening, as they were starting
out from the meadow homeward with
the docile animal, Carol stopped and
gazed at Blinkie redectively.

to go down the street riding a cow"
"But there's no one to see," protest
ed Carol. And this was true. For the
