Dr. Lightliill takes pleasure and pride in submitting' to the consid eration of those interested the fol lowing statement of Mr. T. M. Cox, an old andfprominent resident of New Haven. A Happy Experience. (From the Journal and Courier, July 10.) We take pleasure in presenting to our read ers the following card from Mr. T. M. Cox, asi old resident of New Haven, and a gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hill's treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. LighthiU's ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence. New Haven, July 9. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years I had been troubled with a catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tacked my hearing, impairing it to a consid erable extent, and as it kept constantly ir creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's pa tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment,advised me to place myself un der his care, and happily I did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all its attendant troubles, and re stored my hearing to its former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Lighthill's repu tation is so well known that any recommen dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel liko discharging a duty to the afflicted in Now Haven and vicinity to make this pub- lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief. My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that a few min utes' conversation with Dr; Lightnill will con vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession. T. M. COX. 85 St. John street. For upward of twenty -five years Dr. Light- hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous, Sys tem, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra vated cases ; and it is one of th happy fea tures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva riable be given as to the possibilities of a euro, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. LighthilTs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben efit guaranteed by science, skill, and an. ex tensive experience.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET. FOB PRESIDENT, JAMES A. GARFIELD, of Ohio. FOB VICE PRESIDENT, CHESTER A. ARTHUR, of N. York. Tlie Republican State Convention.. The Republicans in the several towns in this State are requested to send the usual number of delegates to the State convention to be held at Allyn Bali, in the city of Hartford, on Wednesday, August 11th, 188(L at 10 o'clock a. m.. to nominate candidates for State officers, to nominate candidates for presidential electors, to appoint a State Central Committee, and to do any other proper ousiness. In accordance with the rules adopted in 1876, the fnllowinff notices are (riven : 1. All caucuses for the appointment of delegates to the Htate convention muse be neia as least nve aays before the convention. - 2. The chairmen "of each Town Committee must send a copy of the credentials of the delegates from his town to the secretary of the Republican State Central Committee at least four days before the con vention. 3. A caucus of the delegates will be held at the leo ture room under AUyn Hail, on Tuesday, August 10,at 8 o'clock p. m. 4. County and district caucuses will be held at 10:80 a. m. of the day of the convention, at places to be des ignated by local members of the State Central Com mittee, for the purpose of nominating members of the State Central Committee. By order of the State Central Committee. Chaeles J. Couc, Chairman. Hartford, June 25, 1880. THE CAMPAIGN IN THK SOUTH. The discussion at the Bepublican confer ence in New York revealed a decided differ ence of opinion, even among the delegates from the South, as to the expediency of giv ing the Republicans of that section help in the coming fight. Nevertheless, the follow ing resolution was adopted : Besolved, That it is expedient that as ac tive a campaign as possible be carried on by the Bepublican party in the South as well as in the North, and that the Bepublican Na tional Committee are hereby requested to re spond to such calls from Republicans for as sistance and encouragement by speaking in Southern States and Southern districts, as in their judgment may seem wise and proper. This, as will readily be perceived, can be made to mean much or little. We hope it will aiean much, and there are the best of reasons why it should. As was shown at the conference, the prospect that Florida and West Virginia can be placed in the Bepubli can column by well directed work is fair if not good. Virginia and North Carolina are also "fighting ground." But even if the South is to retain its solidity this fall it should not be neglected by the Republican National Committee. As the New York Times says : "There are reasons for carrying the national canvass into those States besides the chance of electoral votes in November. The people need enlightenment and the stimulus that comes from a discussion of national issues. Freedom of discussion should be vindicated in every State of the Union. Southern Dem ocrats, no matter how hateful their record or their political ideas, may canvass the North from side to side of the continent and win all the oonverts they can. Republicans should claim the same privilege in the South. It may, as was said, be accorded to those who come from the North and yet have no effect on the election. But it will have effect, nev ertheless, and contribute to that political re generation of the South which it needs more for its own sake than for the sake of the rest of the country." The principles and record of the Republican party are all in harmony with such missionary work. If the national committee does conclude to try to do the South good a suggestion of a young Republican who has traveled in the South a good deal and come in contact with southern men and southern interests seems worthy of attention. He says that the man ner in which the eyes of southern men of business are opening is very marked. They are realizing what the South most needs to day and what it must have, money and bus iness. They see that at the North the wealth is largely with the Republican party, that northern Republicans are determined not to lose it, and that whatever legislation has been secured for business improvement and pros perity, and for the stability of the national finances, has been secured by that party. In the South as well as at the North the busi ness argument is having substantial ' effect ; and what this young Republican suggests is that the national committee send down into the South liiO active representative business men of the best class, to meet southern busi ness men, representing the more enterprising and far-sighted southerners, to demonstrate, not on the stump, but in freer and closer conferences, by figures, what has already been accomplished and what can be accom plished ; what will be lost by disturbing the existing state of things ; and where business men at the North stand. Let the politicians go down and make the stump speeches if they desire and if it is desired, he says, but the best and more lasting work will be done by those who fling aside politics and issues and reason with the more sordid and selfish, but more convincing argument of business. It strikes us that there is a good deal to this suggestion. EDITORIAL S0TES. Hurrah for Tanner, if he isn't dead when this is read. The Assistant Judge of the Hartford police court has brdftght himself into notice by de ciding that it is theft to take an umbrella. He has done right, and the decision would probably stand if carried up to the Supreme Court, but Hartford is no place for him here after. The cheerful news is received that Herr Hasselmann, the German excluded from the Social Democratic party for having in the Reichstag regretted that the German Social ists did not identify themselves with the Ni hilists, is on his way to the United States. He will make a pleasing addition to our men agerie. Deposits in savings banks are increasing, which is a sure sign of general prosperity. The increase in the deposits of the savings banks of New York city during the last six months is estimated at $9,000,000, and in the banks of the whole State at $17,000,000. In the light of such facts the workingmen of the country can hardly be made to believe that there is any crying necessity for a "change." The grand jury of New Orleans has brought in what the newspapers of the city call a "general indictment of the municipal govern ment." Of the police force the grand jury says: "It is composed of notriously objec tionable material, the reaultjof corrupt political patronage," and is a menace rather than a protection. The grand jury expresses no hope of reform, for "New Orleans is bank rupt and the Legislature is not composed of men representative of the best interests of Louisiana. Among other things noticed is the fact that the fish market was washed out in the presence of the jury, it being the first time it had been cleaned for twelve years. The excitement was intense among the deal ers and habitues of the market. v . . . We heartily indorse the Hartford Courant's suggestion that part of the superfluous skill and science now being devoted to the eye sight of railroad engineers, conductors and brakemen be turned upon such questions as how to protect the lives of employes on freight trains, how to couple cars without crippling men, . how to discover whether bridges, embankments and trestles arq safe before, by falling, they prove they are not ; and some other such practical mat ters connected with railroad service. "More people," says the Courant, "are killed in a week by the butchery of the freight train than ever died from the mischief wrought by color-blindness. Not a day goes by without furnishing from six to fifteen cut np brake- men to the hospital or the undertaker, ac cording to reports in the papers, and more than half the slaughter of brakemen escapes public notice and is kept out of the papers by being hushed up. Let Connecticut have the credit, if reputation is what she is after, of being the first State to afford the- brake- man on the freight train as much considera tion, as far as protection to life is concerned, as the traveler on the passenger train." Some curious statements have been pub lished by an Austrian official on the data of longevity in Germany and other European countries. It appears that there are some 12,800 persons over ninety years of age throughout the whole of Europe, of which number 6,200 are women. In Italy, again, female longevity is superior to male, there being in that country 211 women over 100 years of age, and only 160 male centena rians. Allowance being made for the prepon derance of women in the population gener ally, even then, according to these state ments, the female sex shows the best average of long life. In Hungary, on the contrary, there are more old men than women, not withstanding the females outnumber the males. Austria, it seems, has 100 women who are over a century old, while only eighty six men are as aged. The most interesting fact, however, in these data is the superior longevity of the Germans as compared with the Sclaves; thus, among the Germans of Upper Austria and Salzburg there are llf per cent, of this population who come under the catalogue of old people, while among the Sclaves of Galicia the percentage is 4. Paper manufacturers must have their water pure, and they sometimes have much diffi culty in obtaining the right kind. A Holyoke paper company is trying a novel experiment, which, if successful, will furnish good water at little cost. A big well is now being dug so close to the bank of the Connecticut river that it will be entirely covered up when the water is high. Its dimensions are one hun dred feet in length, twelve feet in width and twelve in depth. The bottom and a portion of the sides will be left open and the top arched over with brick laid close together to prevent the surface water from coming through. It is expected that the water from the river will filter through the few feet of earth and keep the well full enough to supply a draft of 400 or 500 gallons a minute. Al ready, with the well not half completed, water rushes in so rapidly that it requires a force pump which discharges 1,000 gallons a minute to be kept at work half the time to keep the water out sufficiently for the men to work. Other mills are awaiting the result of the experiment before deciding upon the method they will adopt to supply themselves with water. It is said that this plan has been tried before, but not always with satisfac tion. TANKER'S BREAKFAST.

To the Editor of the Joubnai. and Coubtsb : I wish to say a few words through the col umns of vour caper, as a voter, to my Re publican friends, in regard to the "bluff came" the Democratic party is trying to play. In New York, for instance, the Democratic papers will come out with the names of prominent Bepublicans, stating-that they will change their votes, that they will voto for Hancock. The Tribune takes pains to ferret out these parties to ascertain the true facts, and in each and every case they find it a false publication. It is done to influence weak minded Republicans." I tell you, boys, stand firm. That is my advice to you, for Han--nck has no more show than "Crazy Charlie" would have. , He is losing ground every day and Garfield is gaining. . He is tne coming man. Now, boys, remember when the prop er time comes, go to the polls each and every one of you, and cast your vote solid for Gar field, and yon will be rewarded by electing your man. A VOTES. The Subscriber. It was an old subscriber. His eyes were old and dim, j But aihe wan't takin' no paper That was pokin' chaff at him." For he picked his paper np one day, And it went to his heart like a rocket ; "Whom the gods love, die young," it said, "But they whose hearts are dry,1 he read, . "As the summers dust, burn to the socket' Then he-looked through the paper with wrath and doubt. And his heart with anger burned. For he found a t" had been left ont, And he found an ' o" that was ''turned," And he lifted his voice with a mighty shout, As the sheet with his feet he spurned. He stopped bis paper ; he would not read Bach a blundering, villainous sheet ; Of the news it contained he had no need, He could hear the news on the street. Only ten days later he sold his corn ; But he pounded his head full of dents When he learned, after selling for twelve and a half, it was quoted at forty-two cents. And his farm was sold for taxes, because He didn't know when they were due. And he bet on a race three days after date, And he bet on the wrong horse, too. Ho was fined nine dollars and seventy cents For going out shooting on Sunday, For he didn't know, with no paper to read. Whether 'twas Sunday or Monday. He came to town to the Fourth of July, But it had been over a week. And he felt so msd that he wanted to cry, For he didnt know how to speak. And he thought that Grant wsb President yet. And he never had heard of Hayes ; It was worry, and blunder, and trouble, and fret, ;. All of his weary days. So he came to town one summer morn, And ''signed" for hie paper again, And went back borne to his wheat and corn. The happiest man among men. Printer's Circular. C0RRESP0XDESCE. En Roate for the Great Wheat Fields of the NorthwestIncidents of the Jonrney. On the Bail,, Aug. 2. To the Editor of the Joubnai. and Cotjbieb : - In accordance with an invitation to witness the commencement of harvest on the Dai ry rnple farm in Dakota, I took the 8:30 p. m. train Saturday via Hudson River, ticketed through to Minneapolis, where I am to join a party of millers who are to visit he Red River region of the north, but more especial ly the Dalrymple farm. (A description of this great wheat section appeared in Har per's for May.) Nothing can be said that is new or to interest in the journey hither, for since the rapid development of the West the story of a single journey has been done and overdone many tunes. Very pleasant company in the good sleeper St. Nicholas. The man that borrows tooth brushes was not a passenger, but the lady that loses an earring was with us. She knew it was among the clothing in the upper berth, . and yet she emptied her satchel twice to find it, examining every article several times, paying especial attention to such articles as scissors, penknife, shoehorn, button hook, etc. As I fell asleep she was intently exam ining a perfumery bottle. The land along the New York Central looks finely, and crops not already gathered are in excellent condition. Apples are in great abundance. One well planned orchard I noticed having 1100 trees in a square, 30 rows each way, and all full bearing. At Niagara Falls I walked over the bridge to Clifton, and the long delay there, as usual, gave us time -to inspect the surroundings. Our principal amusement was a conversation between an English tourist and a hackman. The "whip" had charged the Englishman two dollars for a ride from the Clifton House. The victim expostulated and said : ' 'Had you charged so much to some other nationality it would be all right, but I am one of your country men and it's not the fair thing, you know ;" but Jehu got his full price, while John Bull in rage promised to give the Clifton any quantity of unhealthy advertising. The farms through Canada along the Great Western railroad show improvement. Young orchards are being planted, and a more thrifty appearance is generally noticed. We pass over the Michigan Central in the night, and after a brief halt in Chicago take the 10 a. m. Monday train for Minneapolis via Mil waukee. The ride over this road is quite in teresting. We find large and thrifty farms on either hand, the land rolling enough not to be tiresome. The "Dells of Wisconsin" at Kilborn City are romantic and attract nu merous visitors. No less than forty passen gers, mostly ladies, left our train at this sta tion. At Milwaukee Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Marble, from your citj', came into my car and we had a pleasant visit. They had seen no one direct from New Haven for a long time, they said. As we approach St. Paul I bid good - bye to many new-made friends, one of them a poor con sumptive who hastens to friends a few miles south from here in the hope to arrest a ter rible cough before winter sets in. A few minutes later I am in the streets of Minne apolis, and as I walk to my hotel in the cool and crisp air I am reminded of a September morning in Connecticut. With your permis sion I will now eat my breakfast at the Nicol let House. A few days later I hope to vrite you from the Red River section. D. How to lie Weatherwise. John H. Tice, the weather prophet of St. Louis, gives the following directions to those who aspire to be weatherwise : As everybody is interested in the weather, so each one should qualify himself or herself to read the sky, and to interpret the meaning of the wind, sky and clouds. An intensely blue and serene sky indicates heavy rains and severe storms in from twelve to forty-eight hours. A gray, hazy sky indi cates continuous dry and generally hot weather. A southeast wind - indicates the existence of a low barometer, if not a storm centre, in the northwest. The aspects of the sky and clouds will tell whether it means mischief or not. And almost immediate cessation of rain may be expected as soon as the northwest wind sets m. It matters not what the as pects of the sky are when the west wind sets in ; fair weather will ensue it, and continue from three to four days. The passage of 'a storm centre from the Gulf and southeast ward of our locality is a partial exception only so far that it clears off more easily. . There really are but two primary kinds of clouds, namely, (1) those that float at a great height above the earth's surface, and (2) those that float low. Those that float high. say from six to ten miles, are of a hbrousand gauzy structure ; they are hence called cirrus, that is hair or tuft clouds. The clouds that form injthe lower strata of the atmosphere, say from one to three miles above the earth, are irregular in structure, and of more or less nodular form. They are called the cumulus, that is, the heap or pile cloud. While the cirrus remains nebular in struc ture and indistinctly defined against the sky, no rain may be expected. Under the low ba rometer, however, they develop by accretion, become smooth and compact in structure and much enlarged in volume. They now sink lower and become sharply defined against the blue sky. Rain may now be expected, especially if they unite with the cumulus, forming the nimbus or raincloud. If the cir rus, instead of forming the nimbus, reascends. it dissipates, and no rain need be expected until it lowers again, which generally is in twenty-four hours. It Was Hot. From the Detroit Free Press. A good-natured Griswold street lawyer left his office unoccupied for an hour about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and some of the jokers in the block went in and built up a rousing fire in his coal stove. He came back with his hat in his hand and almost dead with the heat, and was met on the stairs by a law yer, who said": "This is the hottest yet. The thermome ter in my room marks 120 degrees." "Don't seem possible, though it s a scorcher," replied e other, as he went to his room. He threw down his hat, took off his coat, and began fanning himself ; but the harder he fanned the hotter he grew. . Two or three lawvers came in and spoke about how cool his room was compared to theirs, and were greatly puzzled to account for it. Several of fers were made him to change rooms, and pretty soon he grew ashamed of appearing so over-heated, and sat down to his table. In five minutes his shirt collar fell flat, and in ten he hadn't any starch in his shirt. .The perspiration ran about in every direction, and he seemed to be boiling, when one of his friends looked in and remarked "Ah! old boy, I envy you. You've got the coolest room in the block." 'Say," said the lawyer as he staggered over to the door, "I'm going home. I never felt so queer in all my life. While I know that the room is cool and airy, Pm so baked and boiled that I can't lift a hand. One drink of brandy wouldn't act that way on a man, would it ?" "That's just it," whispered the other. Brandy always acts that way, especially if yon drink alone. You ought to have known better." 'So I had so I had. Don't say a word to the boys I'll make it all right. I thought something must ail me, and I was a little afraid I was going to be gent for. I'm glad it's nothing serious I'll be back ia about two hours."
