VOL. LHV
In these days it is
hard lo know when to
call anything really
cheap; the " bottom is
knocked out" of prices
altogether, as the phrase
goes. The New Haven
ladies have- testified in
a most unequivocal
manner to the fact that
our Cloaks are cheap
any way whatever else
may be. But really, of
all the cheap things in
dry goods the cheapest
we have yet seen is a
line of fine French
Twills that we bought
last week. They are
all wool colored dress
goods 05-4. width and
in desirable shades.
Unless we are very
much mistaken there is
nothing superior to them
offered anywhere in
New Haven at less
than 80c. We could
get that price for them,
but can take less, and
will do it. They are
for sale at r
60c. a Yard.
When you 'come in
to see them, ask also to
have shown to you the
magnificent Venetian
Cloths at 85c that we
mentioned last week ;
they are the ordinary
$1.50 goods.
Other things .. you
ought to see are the
"Bull Bison cloths at
55c and the Bird's Eye
Matelass? at : 6 o
These are both 5-4 all
wool goods.
o r tailor-made
dresses we have regular
lines of Cloths and Tri
cots, but our genuine
ScoIcK Suiting
are the most stylish
goods for that purpose.

Monday, November lO, 1884.
AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
Vermont is one of the States in which
some attention is being paid to the condition
of the forests. Under a law passed by the
legislature of 1882 three prominent citizens
of the State were appointed a forest commis
sion, and their report has jnst been made
pnblic. Their investigations show that in
the older portions of the State from 80 to 90
per cent, of the native forests have been
cleared off, but that the annual diminution
is now small, except in the vicinity of new
lines of railroads, while in the southern por
tion of the State there is an actual increase
from old pastures and abandoned lands,
which hare been allowed to grow up to
wood, but this growth is different from the
old in kind, and less in value. Another en
couraging thing is the increase in the con
sumption of coal as fuel, which lessens the
demand for wood. Damage from forest fires
the commission find to be smaller than they
expected, and they also think the des true
ton by bores, caterpillars and insects neither
great nor general. But out of several hun
dred replies to their circulars hardly any
dissent from the conclusion that the water,
supply is failing year by year, and the small
er springs and streams which were never
known to fail until recently now frequently
become dry.
The commission do not find it easy to teU
how to bring about the better state of things.
The greatest foe of the forest is the owner
of a steam sawmill, who croes from
place to place, consuming the" best
growth, and greatly increasing the
risk from fire, so the legislature
is recommended to exclude these
mills from tho benefit of the stat
ute exempting manufacturing establishments
from taxation; even if it adopts no severer
measures. Also a law punishing the care
less, as well as the malicious, author of forest
fires is suggested. The Boston Herald com
ments on the report as follows: These recom
mendations are good as far as they go. We
do not see it stated that the commission ad
vise any steps for encouraging the planting
of forests, though their report points direct
ly toward the use of worn out lands for tree
raising when it says the key to the situation
lies in convincing the people of the profit of
forest husbandry . intelligently, pursued.
There are lumbermen in the State even now
who do not skin their lands, but try to make
their forests a source of permanent income.
In Washington county one land owner cuts
off about a million feet annually. This keeps
his mills running, and he protects his re
sources and adds yearly to the wealth of the
county. Sueh men deserve encouragement.
Judicious action based on the report of the
commission will help to tSip green the moun
tains which give Vermont her name. To
follow out our old policy will prove how
reckless we are as a people in throwing away
our natural advantages. - We have been liv
ing on our capital, instead of making it yield
a permanent income.
This is a matter to which Connecticut can
well afford to pay more attention than she
has. The forests of this State are by no
means large and numerous enough.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Parson Burchard is not supposed to be a
very happy man in these days.
Mr. Blaine is a philosopher. He has tele
graphed the publisher of his book that he
will begin work on the second volume the
first of this week.
In some of the public schools in Dakota the
pupils are given lessons in the proper
methods of constructing political conven
tions and holding elections. A good idea.
Attention is called to the glaring inequali
ty of the State representations in the electoral
college. Seven southern States, with a popu
lation of less than 5,000,000, have 71 votes,
while seven northern and western States,
with a population of over 20,000,000, have
only 151. And this estimate makes no ac
count of the colored vote at the South, which
is a nullity as matters stand. -
Mr. Henry G. Newton, the well known
lawyer of this city, who will represent the
people of Durham in the next legislature, is
mentioned in eonneotion with the speaker
ship of the house. Mr. Newton would make
a good speaker. He is a man of much ability,
thoroughly acquainted with parliamentary
law, sound and impartial. With him as
speaker the business of the house would pro
ceed with promptness and order.
A benevolent society called "A Mouthful
of!Bread" has been started in Paris. Its ob
ject is to render temporary assistance to
those who are out of work. A lump of bread
and glass 'of water flavored with vinegar are
given to all who ask for relief. The vinegar
is pnt in the water to kill the microbes which
swarm in the foul Seine water, and the con
eoction doesn't taste much ' different from
the sour wine ordinarily used by Parisians.
This is not the first time that there has
been great doubt about the election in the
State of New York. In 1854, at the choice
of State officers, there were four tickets in
the field, and Myron Clark, whig, who was
the last whig governor New York ever had,
was elected by only 809 votes. It was weeks
before the result was known for governor,
although Henry J. Baymond, candidate for
lieutenant-governor on Clark's ticket, carried
the State by 28,333, and this was known in a
day or two after election, though the Clark
vote was not settled for a long time, and
could not be. ,

York, Pennsylvania, is excited by a curi
ous local fight lover the manner of teaching
which prevails in the pnblic schools there.
One of the York papers charged that the
parrot-like method was altogether too com
mon, and that crowding the half mature
mind with a lot of dry, indigestible facts and
figures was the substitute fox proper rational
instruction. Being challenged to produce
its proofs it does so. It publishes in full the
history lesson assigned on a giyenday to "a
grammar school" pupil a grade in which
ages range from 13 to 16 years. This lesson
consisted of 674 words of the most severely
condensed and drily stated facts about
the military operations of the latter half
of the year 1814, in the war between
this country and Great Britain. The inci
dents crowded in this task were Sir George
Prevost's march against .Macomb at Platts
burg, the battle at that place on land and the
simultaneous engagements of the fleet on
Lake Champlain, the bombardment of Ston
ington, the landing of Gen. Boss in the
Patuxent, his encounter with resistance at
Bladensburg, his ravages in Washington,
the capture of Alexandria by a division of
the British fleet, Boss's return to Baltimore
and death, the bombardment of Fort Mc
Henry, the occupation of Pensacola, the at
tack on Fort Morgan, Jackson's march to
Pensacola and return to New Orleans and the
preparations of the British for the battle
there. The pupil was required to commit to
memory the 674 words relating to these
events and to recite them verbatim; also to
spell and give three definitions of each one of
28 such words at batteries, anchor, black
ened, skirmish, vanguard, cannonading,
militia, flotilla, all of which occurred in the
lesson. If this is a fair specimen of the per
formances in the York schools, there seems
to be good ground for criticism.
Sarah, daughter of the old chief Winne
mucca, of the Piute Indians, and commonly
known as "the Indian Princess Winne
mucca," has recently paid a visit to her old
home at Virginia City, Nevada. A letter
from that city gives reminiscences of the time
when she ran away from her father's wigwam
many years ago and went down to live among
the whites at Virginia City. She was then a
bright little girl, with irregular features and
straight black hair. She was dressed in the
costume of her tribe, which consisted of
about the poorest stuff that could be found
anywhere, and the least of it that frontier
etiquette would permit of. A white family
took her in and cared for her, giving her a
calico dress, of which she was very proud.
Soon afterward she got some stockings and
shoes and a sun-bonnet. She worked in one
family after another, going to school when
she could, and in this way earned a living
and obtained the rudiments of an English
education. When she grew to . womanhood
she ceased working in kitchens and took in
washing. By this means she earned enough
money to buy herself such books as she cared
to read, and in course of time some Boston
travellers became interested in her and in
duced her to go to that city, where she was
well received and found friends. She has
been induced, to make quite generous
contributions to her tribe. Instead
of being proud of her and grateful for
what she has done, the Piutes regard
Sarah with suspicion. They know that she
wears the dress of white women, and they
cannot forget that she voluntarily worked
Her old father, who, though he regarded
himself as a mighty chieftain, was not above
fishing around swill barrels for dainties or
accepting cold victuals at back doors, regard
ed his daughter with contempt because she
worked. Her brother N aches, the present
chief of the tribe, does not speak to her to
this day. The tribe, in fact, look on her as
one who has disgraced herself by stooping
to work and by associating with the whites.

The last volume in .the Hibbert Lecture
series is "The Native Religions of Mexico and
Pern," by Albert Beville, D. D. Six lectures
comprise the book. The first shows the
study of the religions of Mexico and Pern to
be important, and discusses their common
bases of civilization. The second lecture is
a treatise on the deities and myths of Mex
ico. The third treats of the sacrifice, sacer
dotal and monastic institutions and the es
chatology and cosmogony of Mexico. The
remaining lectures are devoted to Peru. To
one interested in the religions of the world
the book is an essential. Published by

'Contemporary Socialism," by John Bae,
MA.,-deals with the broader phases of the
socialism of the present day. The author
shows that all the petty groups of socialists
adhere to either the centralist or the anarch
ist type. The book traces the spread of so
cialistic ideas and shows that we in this
country are in error if we suppose that we
are proof against socialism by reason of the
practical character of the people and onr
habits of free discussion. The present move
ment is oompared with the Chartist move
ment of a generation ago, and shown to be
less general among the ' people. Laselle,
Marx, Mario, and Henry George are dis
cussed and a chapter given to Russian Nihil
ism. Altogether the book is a fair statement
of the present condition of Socialism. Pub
lished by Charles Scribner's Sons, New
York, and for sale in this city by Judd the

Naturalists are men gifted with not only
second sight, but even third and fourth
sight. They see wonders and marvels where
ordinary persons see only a tree or a flower
or a stump. When they go out for a stroll
the great diffioulty is with them, not to find
an object for their walk, but to choose one
or two out of their infinite variety of objects
whioh they have at hand. . The Only way for
those of us who are less gifted is to read
what the naturalists tell ns and believe all
they say. We have been reading "A Natur
alist's Bambles About Home," by C. A. Ab
bott, and have been much pleased with what
he tells about wild-cats, wicked weasels, com
mon minks, flying squirrels, musk-rats as
weather prophets, and many , other things
too numerous to mention. The book is from

the year is "The Story of a Country Town,"

Milton's -prose writings have retained more
power than the prose writings of any of the
old English poets. They still interest us.
Milton wrote on political and ecclesiastictl
matters in a time of revolution. He pleaded
for civil, domestic and religious liberty and
spoke the thoughts of the bulk of his coun
trymen. This is why his writings still move
us. We are glad to see that D. Appleton &
Co., of New York, have republished them in
their neat Parchment edition, and predict a
good sale for the book. For sale in this

Pretty nearly everything about a railway
is told in W. S. Kennedy's book on "Won

are described in a pleasant style, in which
bare facts are softened by touches of fancy.

Joseph Y. Bergen, jr., and Fanny D. Ber
gen have written a book on the "Develop
ment Theory" which is designed to meet a
real want in supplying to general readers a
brief and yet comprehensive statement of the
development theory. Few people know real
ly much about this important subject. Yet
the influence of the doctrine of descent is far
reaching and should be more generally com
prehended. The authors frankly state that
not much in the book is original, except the
form in which the facts are presented and
some of the examples cited. Published by
