IIECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER
A FAIR TEST.
To tlie Kditor of the Josrssl of Conner t
Sir: The contract for supplying
the United States government with
seventy-five thousand (75,000) lbs.
of Baking Powder during the en
suing year has been awarded to
Heckeis Perfect Baking Powder,
it having been tested by Dr. Ed
ward G. Love, analytical chemist
for the government, and recom
mended by him for its excellence
and because it contained a higher
percentage of gas (which means it
will make lighter bread and bis
cuit) than either the Royal" or
the other cream tartar baking
powders which he examined. The
samples analyzed by Dr. I.ove were
furnished by the government com
missioners, and were without the
manufacturer's label or name,
and designated with a number
known only to the commissioners.
It will thus be seen that when
Blocker's Perfect Baking Powder
is submitted to an impartial test
its superiority is acknowledged,
and the popular verdict so emphat
ically expressed in its favor is fully
sustained,

AS ENGLISH VIEW OP THE ANNEX
ATION OP CANADA.
. The advantages and disadvantages of the
annexation of Canada to the United States
are being discussed by the English press with
freedom and earnestness, and there is more
difference of opinion than might be expected.
Thus a writer in the Pall Mall Gazette heart!
ly favors annexation, and presents some con
sideratione which he thinks may not be with-
out interest for those Englishmen who are
not wholly blinded and carried away by im
perialist infatuation. He points ont the im
portance of an "Americanized Canada" as a
link between England and the United States,
a bond of friendship to unite even more
closely the two great divisions of the English-speaking
people,. The Canadians are, or
at least it ia so thought in England, influenced
by a certain exaggerated personal loyalty to
ward the royal family of England, toward the
old country as a whole, and toward the insti
tutions of the empire.; "The value to us,"
says the PaU Mall writer, "of 5,000,000
American citizens who were also well-wishers
to England would in itself be incalculable :
but that would not be all. The intercourse
between Canada and the States is already very
considerable and very friendly ; when the
Canadians were all Americans it would be
come closer and more intimate stilL Every
Canadian who settled on what is now the
other Hide of the border would become a cen
ter for the dissemination of philo-Britannic
ideas among the born Americans around him.
Even now it is noticeable that the feeling of
Americans toward England and Canada is
mo8 friendly along the border towns there
is-little or no spread-eagleism, little talk about
sending off the British lion with his tail be
tween his legs, in Detroit, or Nigfra, or
Rochester, or even Portland. Community
of interest and daily intercourse have made
these Americans of the border more kindly
disposed toward their English neighbors
than is the case in Washington or Philadel
phia. If Canada was all American, if trade
moved freely from New York to Toronto,
and from Chicago to Montreal if Cana
dians, taught from their childhood to love
and respect England, were drawn into daily
contact with their fellow-citizens, whose tra
ditions were less favorable to friendliness,
there can be little doubt that the general tone
of America toward England would be even
more generous and hearty than it is at this
moment."
There is one special danger which the
writer thinks annexation would counteract.
"At present," says he, "we are sending daily
across the Atlantic ship-loads of Irish labor
ers, driven from their, homes by English
misgovernment in the past, who carry with
them to America a fixed and settled hatred of
England, and who become important factors
whenever a course of dispute with this coun
try is engaging the American mind. It is a
fact that those Irishmen who go to Canada
almost always lose their animosity to Eng
land, and become merged in the general Can
adian population. By union of Canada with
the States we should thus obtain two bene
fits at once ; we should add to the population
of the States a friendly Canadian element to
counteract the hostile Irish element, and e
should introduce a body of Irishmen into
America who are not pledged to seek a cause
of quarrel with us, and who might help to
moderate the zeal of their fellow-countrymen,
especially as soon as remedial legisla
tion begins to produce good fruit in Ireland
itself. These considerations for securing the
friendship of the only other great industrial
and non-military nation in the world are
surely as well worth our attention as any im
possible schemes of imperial federation or
other impracticable plans for governing the
universe by telegraph from Downing street. "
This is ingenious if not very practical.
England can well afford to enoourage the an
nexation of Canada to this country for more
substantial reasons than those given above.
E1UTOK1A1, NOTES.
' Not only workmen, but employers also,
are feeling Chinese competition on the Pacific
coast. Hop Kee & Co., of San Francisco,
are said to have as complete machinery for
shoe manufacturing as can be found in the
United States, and at a recent Crispins' meet
ing in that city it was stated that the above
firm, together with Hop Wo & Co. and Hue
Kai, are offering higher wages for the best
skilled labor than are paid by the native
American manufacturers. The American
superintendent of one Chinese factory is
paid $6,000 a year, and a man who had re
ceived only $35 a week recently went to a
Chinese factory with wages of $50 a week.
The Chinese employers make -contracts with
their best workmen.
With the return of winter comes a revival
of Russian fears of nihilism. Of the re
newed activity of the nihilists there are con
stant rumors in St. Petersburg. The author
ities are said to be once more alarmed and
are taking extraordinary precautions to pre
vent any surprises. Divers are kept at work
dragging the canals to search for explosives
that may have been concealed under the
bridges which connect boulevards and main
thoroughfares.. The Gatchina guards have
been doubled. Although no immediate at-
tempt upon the life of the Czar is feared 0
thought probable, there is, nevertheless, a
feeling of insecurity which is shared by the
police and by the members of the Imperial
household. Well informed European corre
spondents affirm that the revolutionists are
quietly maturing new plans, and that proofs
of their misdirected but determined energy
are occasionally cropping out.

more than that of the largest torpedo boat in
the British service ;' but her dimensions are
still within the limit which will permit her
to be conveyed by rail from one part of the
coast to another. Her armament is exceed
ingly formidable, consisting of four of the
largest Whitehead torpedoes, each of which
carries a charge of 80 pounds of gun cotton,
in addition to which she mounts a Hotohkiss
revolving gun. She has a coal capacity of
10 tons, estimated as equivalent to 1,200
miles at a speed of 11 knots, and her full
speed, as shown at the trial, as well during a
run of three hours as at the measured ' mile,
is 20 knots, whiol is two knots in exoess of

The Independent Republicans of Pennsyl
vania are thoroughly in earnest. They held
a conference in Philadelphia on Wednesday
and appointed a committee of seven, who
were empowered to select a committee of
251, which is to consist of one member .from
each Senatorial and Representative 'district
of the State. Independent Republican clubs
are to be formed, and the people are to be
invited to take active part in the election of
delegates to the State convention. The ob
ject is to secure control of the State conven
tion which meets next year to nominate can
didates for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor. The leaders make no concealment of
their purpose. They say they are working
for reform within the party, and that they
will not bolt if the machine secures control of
the convention. - They are working in the
interest of no particular candidate, but for a
convention which shall represent the free
will of the party.
In accordance with the object the Society
for Political Education has proposed to it
self, it has issued, as number four of its pam
phlet publications, a small tract on the sub
ject of the usury laws. This little tract will
supply a long-felt want, for treatises on the
usury laws are not accessible to the public.
The letters of Jeremy Bentham and the es
say of Turgot are buried in the complete
works of these writers, and the best writings
of less known economists on this subject have
usually been issued as pamphlets, and it is
therefore difficult, if not impossible, to ob
tain them. This issue by the society con
tains, first, an abridgment of Jeremy Ben
tham's letters, which have not suffered by
the abridgment ; second, the more import
ant sections of a letter by John Calvin on
usury, which possesses more historic than
economic value ; third," a speech by Hen.
Richard JI. Dana, jr., in the Massachusetts
Senate, which embodies a clear and compre
hensive exposition of the subject ; and,
fourth, a brief notice by David A. Wells on
the present status of the usury laws In the
United States, which contains some new and
suggestive statements regarding the effect of
these laws. "
A writer in the Chicago Inter-Ocean thinks
that there are too many lawyers engaged in
the management of our publio affairs. . All
our affairs which come .under the head of
"the comity of nations' are, he says, con
ducted by lawyers. They constitute three
fourths of both houses of Congress, the dip
lomatic corps', and the thirty-eight Legisla
tures in the same ratio. They are the lead
ing guild, and embody the substance of the
authority of the nation. It is not so in Eu
rope. They have educated, non-professional
men who exert and assume their proper share
of national responsibility. We are the ex
ception. Hence, the fact and the result is
that we are, ostensibly, a nation of lawyers.
They enjoy the undisputed possession of all
the law-making power, and, thence, the dis
pensation of their own laws to the entire
publio. The writer does not have a very
high opinion of the American lawyer. He
says : "The average lawyer is by no
means an educated man. I rely on my
information that not exceeding one-third of
the practicing bar can prove classical scholar
ship. Hence their present status rests large
ly upon assumption. This again proves fools
for knaves to play upon. This masterly as
sumption, coupled with what they glean from
between the sheep-binding of law books,
comprises their only stock in trade." The
article concludes as follows : "Our succeed
ing Congresses and Legislatures should be
swayed by educated business men, suoh as
subtle professionals cannot extinguish in de
bate, nor swerve through craftiness. The in
tellects of professionals are 'sharpened but
not enlarged' fitted only for politicians, not
statesmen. When the majesty of the people
shall arise to the situation, take the matter
earnestly in hand, and shall correct this real
but less apparent evil, then intelligence will
supply the place of prejudioe, and the full
blessings of peace, honor, and added progress
will rest and abide within and upon the grand
republic, and rancorous party conflict will
have been trodden out." This writer's way
of putting his case is extravagant, and in
some respects nnjust, but what he says is
worth thinking of. -

A that With an Ancient Cltixen.
To the Editor of the Joubnai. and Cocbieb :
We had a chat to-day with an anoient citi
zen of whom we have before spoken in these
columns, viz., Mr. George W. Hicks, the oc
togenarian, town born A. D. 1801:, now living
on Whitney avenue near by where of yore
stood a stone inscribed "One mile to New
Haven." Edwards street stops just there, or
begins, whichever way you may travel it.
WOOSTEB SQUaBJE A BYE FIELD.
Our chat, was at his home and upon olden
times. "When I was a boy," said he, "what
is now known as Wooster Square was called
Squire Porter's lot, so named from the own
er, a lawyer, who lived on the southwest cor
ner of Chapel and Olive streets. The first
rye I ever saw growing was on that field.
One day at harvest time on passing I found
it had been cut down and was lying in regu
lar rows, the heads all turned one way. Not
understanding this, I inquired how it came
about and was answered "They have cradled
it." This was no solution of the mystery.
I understood about mowing ; but the only
kind of cradling I had seen had been applied
to "infants."
NEW HAVEN GBEXN A BTI.BKRBY SWAMP.
It was natural from this preliminary open
ing to then, in our talk, travel up town to
what we respectfully term our public square,
but what to old citizens, seems more agreea
ble, because homelike "the Green ;" and so
Mr. Hicks went on: "My grandmother,
who died about the year 1818 aged nearly 90,
told me that when she was a girl the lower
Green was a bilberry swamp, and that she
used to gather bilberries there. They were
especially plenty near what is now the town
pump. That must have been about the year
1740.
Pleasant it is to think that 140 years ago,
happy, innocent little boys and girls were on
our lower Green gathering the round shining
berries. Blessings on the children! What
would life be without them? How often the
aching heart is relieved by a wayside chat
with the little ones. xney wm mwaya ro
ariond and merrily even to the stranger if
he but approach them in cheery tones. For
instance, to-day " just before we saw Mr.
Hicks, four little girls were standing near a
house in the outskirts. We paid our re
spects and soon got them in happy gleeful
mood. ' .
SOMETHTNO FOtt THK UHII.TBWW TO KNOW.
Just then a large gray oat appeared
trotting across the road. . "That cat," we
said to the little ones, "has a black 'V over
each eye. Every gray cat in New Haven
has." "We have some gray kittens," then
spoke up one of the little girls, "have they
got the "V over their eyes ?" "Oh. yes v
"Where are they?" "In the yard.' "Bun
and see." In trooped the little girls, and
after a brief absence the four leturned all
excitement with a erav kitten, on whose fore
head, to their great satisfaction, : they- had
discovered the two "V's, the two united
making a well denned W, , , "0T,". cwe
on parting, 'tell all your schoolmates to look
at their gray kittens and find the black
"Vs." The variegated makings of animals
is an interesting object for observation. We
had a Maltese kitten whose bosom had a
white stripe which answered for a raffle
shirt front, and each of whose paws for one
and a half inches was white. He answered
to the name "Stocking Feet." We' took the
animal to a good home, to the noted animal
fancier, Joseph Elley, who has his cobbler's
stall and free museum at 27 Crown near State
street. The law which governs these mark
ings on animals will in all probability ever re
main unrevealed. Still they to the observ
ing eye .enhance the interest to be derived
from the animal world and so give pleasure,
which we presume was the thought when
these earthly foundations were laid.
OLD TIME TBATNINO DATS ON NEW HAVEN GBEKN.
But to get back to Mr. Hicks. "When I
was a boy, some seventy years ago," said he,
"training days were great times on the Green.
There used to be lines of booths and tables
extending from the pump up to Court street,
where rum, oysters, pies and cakes were sold,
and gambling by the roulette table was in full
blast. The peddlers and gamblers were large
ly negroes. Negro women sold rum and
negro mm ran the gambling business, using
what was known as the wheel of fortune.' I
remember one strapping negro who ran a
wheel, and when he won any money tossed it
into his yawning mouth for safe keeping. An
enormous cavity it was, opening like an alli
gator's with "fips hideous and projecting.
One evening just at dusk, by which time
many usually had become drunk, this negro got
into a fight, when his opponent struck him a
tremendous blow on the. chops. This burst
his bank, for at once that black vault opened
and out spurted a handful of sixpences and
fourpence half pennies, which went scatter
ing over into the grass. The next morning I
got up at the first twinkling of dawn and
went over to the Green on a search for the
lost money. I had been there but a little
while when I was joined by another, an en
terprising boy on the same errand, and a lit
tle later by still another. We were all suc
cessful. My findings amounted to $1.62, a
big sum for that day to a boy, mostly old
Spanish coin Dimes and half dimes were
then unknown."
CHTJBCH HISTOBY.
"In my boy days," continued Mr. Hicks,
"on the Green were two meeting houses.
One, known as the brick meeting house,
stood near the site of the Center church.
That fronted northerly. The other stood on
the site of the North church. It was termed
the White Haven meeting house. That
fronted southerly. At that time on the site
of St. John's block stood a third meeting
house termed the "Old Blue." Eventually
the congregations of these two last named
joined as one and formed the present North
church, which then, as now, bore the title
of the United society. The Episcopal church,
'Trinity,' was built during the war of 1812
15. At that period the British fleet under
Commodore Hardy was blockading that of
Decatur in New London. A committee from
Trinity waited upon the British commodore
under a flag of truce to get permission to
pass vessels through his fleet from Maine
loaded with lumber for the construction of
the new church. It was granted and with
the remark that he 'did not make war upon
churches and upon women.'
OOMMODOBB HABDY AND THE SKIPPER.
Vessel after vessel loaded with lumber
passed through the blockading fleet bound
for New Haven, each being provided with a
certificate from the Trinity committee to
show to the commodore that the lumber was
for the church in New Haven. Under cover
of these certificates immense quantities of
lumber were brought here and some of our
lumber merchants filled their yards. Toward
the close of the business a down east lumber
man on being stopped brought his vessel
alongside and on going aboard handed his
certificate to the commodore for examina
tion. The latter read it and on handing it
back to the skipper gruffly ejaculated,
'Humph, you can go through ; but from the
amount of lumber used I must say that town
of New Haven is the place for build
ing churches I ever heard of.' "
LEAP or TONY MONTCALM.
As in our time the Center church is the
building ia hich. the commencement exer
cises of Yale are held, so at the beginning of
this century was the old brick meeting house
then standing on its site.' "I was a witness '
one commencement day," said Mr. Hicks, "to
a panio there which might have been serious.
As it turned out, it was noted lor a ludicrous
incident. The meeting house was crowded
when from the weight a cracEling sound was
heard. It was thought the structure was
about to fall, when the people in their con
sternation largely rushed for the doors. At
this junoture up in a window sat Tony Mont
calm, a wild, rollicking boy. Casting his eye
down for a safe place upon which to alight,
he espied directly beneath a negro peddler
with his table of goodies spread before him.
His back was to the meeting house and he
was in the act of bending over waiting upon
a customer. To see was but to decide, and
the next moment all there was of Tony Mont
calm was cleaving the air. Striking the other
fairly in the bend of his back Tony broke his
falL Over went the negro, table, .goodies
and alL This was much to the consternation
of the assembled crowd around, to be suc
ceeded by roars of laughter, when it was dis
covered no one was especially harmed, while
Tony disappeared from the scene, ran across
the Green as fast as his legs could carry him.
He soon after went to sea and was heard of
no more."
CHEAP LIVING IN OLD TIMES.
In 1824, then a young man of 23, Mr. Hick
was carrying on the blacksmith business in
Cheshire, then quite an important little town,
though now largely "gone to grass," where
the solitary man may find ample leisure in
which to ruminate and chew the cud of
"sweet and bitter fancies." As an illustra
tion of the cheap living of the times, Mr.
Hicks, his journeyman and a 'prentice board
ed at Widow Beach's tavern for $4.50 per
week for all three. The best cute of beef
were then to be had for 6 cents per
pound, or by the quarter from 3 to 4 cents ;
butter at 12 cents per pound ; potatoes for
25 cents a bushel ; flour $5 per barrel, and
good hand-sewed boots for $3 per pair.
A LITTLE PASTORAL DIFFICULTY.
Their minister was the Rev. Roger Hitch
cock. They offered him $500 as a salary. He
did not like this and refused their offer. It
was more than he thought he was worth. So
they compromised the difficulty by settling
him at $400 .per annum, whereupon some
Cheshire poet thus burst out in rhyme :
"Five hundred dollars was ths sum
They offered him, all as "ne ;
But he refused to take but 4
Twss enough ; he'd take no more.
May we not astonished stand
And say the millennium is st band."
His people to assuage the difficulty then
went it strong on donations. In early win
ter on one occasion, when the snow was on
the ground, they assembled in the woods,
cut down two large trees, constructed from
them an immense sled, and then cut and piled
upon it twenty-eight cords of wood. Then
by the united strength of twenty or thirty
oxen they dragged it to the woodyard. The
next day-they assembled, chopped, split and
piled it in a good place, and had it ail done
"between sun and sun."
SOMETHING BEYOND BOB INGERSOLl's JOKES.
The affection of those old time country
pople for their pastors, usuall settled as they
were for life, was something beautiful to be
hold. Those were the calm quiet days when
people believed it all and were happier and
purer for their beliefs. Society was not di
vided into castes as it seems to be dividing
now. and no American born but what would
have scorned to have worn the livery of a
menial. Hurry, nerve, racking care, almost
childless families, the -belief in nothing but
the love of gold and love of the pomp and
vain glory of the world are the more strongly
pronounced features of our later days. Those
black spots "that will not out" are beyond
the remedy of even one .of Bob Ingersoll's
best jokes : too sad.
4 LIQUID CONCLUSION. .
As we concluded our twenty minutes' chat
with the octogenarian much can be said in
twenty minutes, sometimes too much he
elevated his chin and looked up with a pecu
liar shrinking sort of air, as though he was
going to put a question that he was -fearful
would shock our moral sensibilities. We
knew what was coming we had seen such
things before and it came. "Do you ever -do
yon ever take do you ever take a glass
of wine ?" Having a faint recollection of
such an event happening to us somewhere
way back in the ages, our answer was in ac
cord with the solemnity of the occasion.
Mrs. Hicks thereupon came forth with some
wine, of her good man's manufacture, he be
ing quite an adept in the vinous line. He
has some over seven years old, which, strange
as it may seem, "has never been drank."
He fincuybat the native wua grape mages tne
best wine, being far superior to the Catawba
or any of the cultivated sorts. From ten .
bushels of wild grapes which he bought of
farmers at $1 per bushel, he made four
years since eighty gallons of excellent wine. .
