It is a well known fact
That Impure Salt is very injurious to health. Or
dinary Salt contains more or less lime, magnesia
and other impurities which occasion stone in the
bladder and other Dainful diseases. Now as Salt
enters into the makeup of almost everything weeat
it becomes essential tnat a percecuy pure arncie
should be used. 1. M. Welch & Son have experi
mented on a great many kinds of Salt, and have at
last found one on which they can place their name
and guarantee as a perfectly pure Salt. This Salt
is put up by them under the Star Brand, (Trade
Hark patented), in linen bags, at 6c, 10c and 15c per
has-, and in saner boxes at 5e each. The 15c bags
contain nearly a peck. It will be seen that this Salt
coats no more than ordinary Salt, and after once
using you will have no other. Be sure and call for

CURTAIN DEPARTMENT.
This is the counter where we expect to have the
fun. A larfre Dry Goods store in New York State
recently failed, placed an order with a New York
importer last season for curtains. The unexpected
failure threw the goods on the hands of the import
er, consequently they had to be sold the lot was
offered to us at 10 per cent, less than import prices.
It is needless to say we accepted the entire lot, as
the goods are now on our counters, and a finer as
sortment of patterns never came to New Haven.
The prices at which we mean to dispose of this
enormous purchase will be a source of satisfaction
to us and must be of interest to our patrons.
A few of the styles where we have an over stock
will be sold in combinations and in every instance
we guarantee the complete set lower than the Cur
tains can be bought. We further add that those
who buy their Curtains and Poles from us we will
cheerfully put them up free of charge.

W II K ML K BEFOR9I1IIIEEDBD,
Wbail affairs get too bad in thiB country
and often jnst when it seems as if things
were geing to "the demnition bow-wows"
there is a lively protest and a torn toward
the better is made. A good illustration of
this is the fate of the "boodle" aldermen in
New York city. Another trying evil in New
York oity which is attracting attention now
adays' is the , cost 'of elections, which has
readied snch a point as to be startling.
It is estimated that the post of electing a
mayor in New York last year was $700,000.
The city spent $290,000 for legal expenses,
$210,000 came from assessments npon candi
dates and $200,000 by assessments npon office
holders and through contributions from rich
men of various parties, and the money was
divided among 45,000 men who "worked at
the polls." Mr. Joseph B. Bishop made a
strong speech the other day against the buy
ing and selling of offices by the politicians of
New York. He said among other things:
The assessment practioe has had the most de
plorable influence npon candidates for legis
lative positions by calling into politics a class
of men who look npon office as a business.
They buy a nomination, paying five or ten
times the salary, calculating npon reimburse
ment and profit from their official influence
and votes. The Broadway bribery scandal
was the natural ontcome of this. So it is in
the legislature. One senator so pursued his
"business" that his constituents refused to
send him back, when he coolly came ont and
begged for a return on the ground that he
was financially embarrassed and wished to go
to the Assembly to retrieve his fortune on a
salary of $1,500.
The evil thus oomplained of is prevalent in
other places than New York and it is high
time more attention was paid .to it. Among
the remedies urged by Mr. Bishop is to take
away the neces ity for assessments by having
the ballots printed and distributed at the
city's expense. Secondly, he would have the
expenditures of candidates limited by law,
making obligatory a public statement of all
outlays by candidates or their agents after
election. Then he would have a law similar
to the English law against corrupt praotiees
and undue influences. In England any ten
persons can have a candidate's name pnt np
on the voting list for municipal office by
certifying that they wish to vote for him. If
any fifty voters could do that here Mr. Bishop
thinks the machines would be annihilated.
An attempt is to be made to get the New
York legislature next winter to pass a law
for the purifying of politics in New York
city. There is nsed enough of it.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The New York Star says it opposes the
high license bill now before the New York

Governor Currier, of New Hampshire,
thus closes his Fast Day proclamation: Final
ly, I desire the people of this State, in

every form ef idolatry and superstition, and
gratefully and reverently to recognize in ev
ery act of their lives that Eternal ' Being in
whom all things live and have their exist
ence. The failure of a strike la a New York shoe
factory is significant. The strike was origi
nally ordered avowedly to force the employ
ers to "recognize" an "exeontive board" not
composed of their own workmenv When a
renewal of the strike was ordered only about
a third of the men quit work and the factory
is running as nsnal, while the men at work
are obviously much better off than the men
on strike.

The statement of Mr. Shearer of the New
York sub treasury that there is not money
enough in circulation for the business and

surprise those ' who can't get what money
they want. Mr. Shearer says that the char

tion at present is about as follower Green
backs, $318,000,000; silver certificates, $121,
000,000; gold certificates, $100,000,000;
national bank notes, $300,000,000; total,
$834,000,000. This is a little over $14 for
each person in the United States. It is ihe
smallest proportionate circulation in a nom-
i ber of years. ' In 1885 there was $38 for each
person, and this inoluded the amonnt in the
United States treasury subject to circulation.
The case against the Northfield Knife
company, which is to come before Judge
Shipman in the United States court next
month, will test the law forbidding the im
portation of foreign labor. The law prohib
its the introduction of this labor under a
penalty of $1,000 for each offense. It is ad
mitted that the company brought over fif
teen men to engage in its employ; but it was
done, as is claimed, without a knowledge of
the existence of the prohibitory law. More
over the company brought the men to this
country under one agreement, the fares were
all paid at the same time, and this fact, it is
urged, constitutes but one offense under this
law. District Attorney Stanton has made
fifteen separate informations, and the matter
will be left to the conrt to determine wheth
er the company should be held to pay the
penalty for one offense or for fifteen separ
ate offenses.

ONLY A BR AK EM AN KILLED.
A Flea for the faithful Me a who Risk
Their Lives Bally.
From the Chicago Herald.
An instance of the crnelty of our modern
civilization and its infinitely diversified appll
ances and customs is found ia the fact that
the death of a railway employee, through one
of the minor casualties of his calling, is no
longer considered worthy mention in the news
celums of a metropolitan newspaper; or, if
mentioned at all, a line is generally suffi
cient to chronicle the bare fact, details be
ing utterly neglected. In the despatches it
used to be:
"By a broken rail seven freight cars were
thrown off the track near this place last Bight
and their contents, consisting of valuable
merchandise, almost destroyed. The loss of
the company will reach $15,000. Passenger
trains were delayed nearly an hour. A rigid
investigation will follow. One brakeman was
killed."
Formerly minor accidents to employees
were telegraphed to city papers, but now
all correspondents are instructed to omit
sending intelligence concerning the eommon
accidents of the rail, in which employees
only suffer, unless the fatalities number
more than one or seme unusual circuatstan
ess or causes are present. Almost every
week some railway employee loses his life
or a limb in the Chicago railway yards with
out any mention of the casualty being made
in the city paDers. This sesms cruel, bnt
the truth is that the sort of news is rarely
worth printing. As the world goes these
items are unimportant and newsmen neglect
them. But witn passengers it is quite surer
ent. The commonest accident involving the
safety of a passenger or injury to His
person is carefully investigated and reported.
And just now the papers are filled with ar
tides demanding that the death-dealing
stove shall be banished, that safety gates
be put up at all crossings, and that every
possible precaation be taken to secure
safety for the travelling pnblic and for
pedestrians and street travellers who mnst
cross railway tracks. Bnt not a word is heard
in behalf of the employees, whom the jugger
nauts of the rail are slaughtering and maiming
by the thousands every year.
"Only a brakeman killed." What a story
the figures of a railway tell and, after all,
there is nothing like cold figures to point
a moral or tell a tale. In Massachusetts
last year only one passenger in 7,584,258 was
killed, and one in 3,166,931 injured. This
ratio is not an alarming one, but when we
come to employees the ratio is very differ
ent. There were 274 casualties to employ
ees, J8 of which were fatal. On the Fitch
burg road one employee ont of every thirty
one was injured. On other roads about one
ia 120. Most of these casualties were in
coupling or uncoupling cars. Foity-eight,
or nearly one a week, were injured ia this
wav on one road. One can, therefore, read
ily believe that on almost any of eur larger
railways of the west a man a day is tne aver
age ratio of the rapacious demon of car
coupling. Next come casualties to trainmen
from falling from train overs one a week
in the whole State of Massachusetts, and
probably twlee or thrioe as many as in
Illinois. Take the Chicago, Burlington &
Quinsy road for a home instance, and than
the Burlington there is no better managed
road in the world. In a recent year this
road carried in Illinois 2,770,000 passengers.
Half a dozen of these were injured and none
killed. Of the 1,500 engineers, firemen,
brakemen, baggagemen, switchmen, and con
ductors employed in Illinois more than 200
were killed or injured. In fully one fourth
of the cases the demon coupling was the
agent of injury or death. All along the line
of even railway in the country, and particu
larly iu the division station towns, where
many railway employees live, will be found
small armies of widows, orphans and maimed
, men.

A Psalm of Lire.
Through the wild Babel of our fever'd time
The song ot Homer cometh, grave and stern.
With tidings from the world's fresh, healthy
prime,
Tidings which our worn, wearied age concern.
Unchanged, through all thelongunnumber'd years.
The voice of Homer sings the song divine.
Which tells of godlike toils of heroes' tears.
And the punishment of Priam's line.
The battle in the plain is raging yet.
The watchflres blaze, the beak'd ships line the
shore;
For us the foe in grim array is set: .
Ah! but do we light as they fought of yc re?
For we, too, like the heroes long ago.
Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea;
Fierce is the conflict, loud the trumpets blow.
And the waves roar and rage unceasingly.
Still must we wander o'er the stormy main;
'Twixt rocks and- whirlpools a dread passage
make;
Still must the Sirens sing to us in vain;
Still from the toils of Circe must we break.
Turn, then, to Homer's Psalm of Life, and see
How thev endured whose nilerrtmae-e is done:
And hear the message they have left for thee
only Dy -auence is me victory won.

Placer Sam's Investment. '
From the St. Paul Globe.
Plaeer Sam told me of a green lad, unused
to the ways of the West, who one day wan
dered into Confederate Gulch and applied
for work. There was no one there who want
ed to hire help, and he was told to prospect.
He didn't understand what the word meant,
and insisted that some one should put him
to work and give him an opportunity to earn
his daily bread. Tiring of his persistency,
one day when the lad made his usual appli
cation for work with a' salary attachment, a
miner picked up a stone from the ground
and throwing it out upon an unbroken
Bpot in the gulch, told him to get a pick
and shovel and dig. The lad did as he
was bid, and as he quietly kept at his
work day after day and paid no particular
attention to anyone, the miners, pleased at
last to have gotten rid of him. studiously
left him to himself.
For six months he kept np his digging,
and at the end of that time surprised the
camp by bnying a mnle team and hiring a
company of twenty-five armed men to
guard the nail kegs filled to the brim with
glittering gold dust tnat ne nad .taken trom
tne ground on which the stone tossed by a
careless hand had fallen. The kegs were
loaded behind the mules, and under the
eyes of the twenty-five men were carted
through the mountains and across the
plains to Omaha, where it was disposed of
and tne handsome proceeds pocketed by
the lucky lad. I asked the man what was
the name of the fellow who had made ihe
great strike, and with a jab at the staves
of the keg with his knife, he replied:
It wus me.
I was considerably surprised, but not
satisfied, and continuing the conversation,
asked him if he had the money invested,
and he said he had invested every cent. I
asked him what in and he replied:
"Poker."
Satisfactory Collateral.
From the San Francisco Wasp.
The other morning as the janitor of a bank
not very far from the Palace opened the
door he was surprised to observe three rather
tired-looking citizens seated on the stepB,
the center one of whom held a sealed envel
ope carefully in sight of his companions.
"Want to make a deposit, gentlemen!"
asked the cashier, who shortly arrived.
"Step inside."
"No, I want to negotiate a loan," said the
man with the envelope, "and there ain't a
minute to lose. I want five thousand dol
lars quicker'n Hades can scorch a feather."
"What collaterals have you Govern
ment!" inqnired the bank official.
"Government nolhin'. I've got some
thing that- beats--fo-per-cents. all "hollow.
You see I've been sitting in a poker game
across the street, and there's over four thou
sand dollars in the pot. There are three or
four pretty strong hands ont, and as I've ev
ery cent in the center the boys have given
me thirty minutes to raise a stake on my
hand. It's in this envelope. Jnst look at
it, but don't give it away to these gentle
men. They're in the game and came along
to see I don't monkey with the cards."
"But, my dear sir," said the cashier, who
had quietly opened the envelope and found
it to contain four kings and an ace, "this is
entirely irregular we don't lend money on
cards."
"Bnt you ain't going to see me raised out
on a hand like that!" whispered the poker
ist. "These fellows think I'm bluffing, and
I ean just clean out the whole gang. Yon
see we ain't playing flushes, so I've got 'em
right in the door."
"Can't help it, sir. Never heard of such
a thing," said the cashier, and the disap
pointed applicant and friends drifted sadly
out. On the corner they met the bank's
president, who was himself just from a qniet
little all-night game at the Union. They
explained the case again, and the next mo
ment the superior officer darted into the
bank, seized a bag of twenties and followed
the trio. In about ten minutes be retarned
with the bag and an extra handful of twen
ties, which he flung on the counter.
"Here, credit five hundred to interest ac
count," he said to the cashier. "Why, I
thought you nad more business snap, sir,
Ever play poker!"
"No, sir."
"Ah! thought not thought not. If you
did you d know what good collateral was,
Remember that in fnture four kings and
an ace, flushes barred, are always good in
this institution for our entire assets, sir our
entire assets."
WON A FORTUNE.
Buying Throe Lottery Tickets and
Winning Two Prlxes.
From the Auburn (N. Y.) Advertiser, March 11.
Joseph Strang, a former Aubnrnian, who
has been living at Smith Falls, Ontario, is
stopping with his wife at the Arbor Hotel
on South street. Mr. Strang is the lucky
man who drew one-tenth part of the first
capital prize of one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in the Louisiana State lottery
at its last month's drawing. To an Adverti
ser reporter Mr. Strang said that he sent
money from Smith Falls by express to M. A.
Dauphin at New Orleans for three tickets,
and received them in dne time. For the
one-tenth ticket No. 73,987 he paid one dol
lar. About six days after the drawing he
reaeived a circular , by which he learned that
he had drawn $15,000 of the capital
prize and also ten dollars of an approxima
tion prize by another ticket, thus drawing
two prizes with three tickets. Mr. Strang
had also drawn several prizes previously,
but not very large ones.
Mr. Strang came to Auburn and ordered
the money sent from New Orleans by ex
press to the banking house of William H.
Seward & Co. The total sum of fifteen
thousand dollars was forwarded in gold, and
Mr. Strang now has a certificate of deposit
from that bank for the amount named.
There were no deductions for commissions
or any other charge except the express tariff
of seventy-one dollars.
Mr. Strang is a machinist by trade and
has been in comfortable circumstances, but
never had so large a sum of money before.
He and his wife will reside in this city. They
have no children.
A Nloe tittle Present for a Frlond.
From the Liverpool Post.
Some time ago a friend of mine interested
in zoology received one day a box from New
Mexico without any mark upon it as to what
it contained. He instructed his housekeeper
to open it on finding it in his hall and went
up stairs. Presently he was aroused by a
considerable outery, and found that the box
contained a creature about a yard long, not
unlike a crocodile. It was really a lisard,
and my friend immediately packed it off to
the Zoological Gardens, with a letter to the
curator, presenting it to the collection.
Next day, to his astonishment, he received
a letter from the curator saying: "Pray,
next time you send ns an animal for the col
lection warn us of its character, for this liz
ard you sent ns is a poisonous one. The
moment it was taken out of its box it bit a
rabbit, and the animal almost immediately
died. As we took it out of the box without
any hesitation, this might just as well have
happened to the person who unpacked the
monster." ...
The existence of this poisonous lizard was
unknown to the recipient, and was I believe
not known at the Zoological Gardens. My
friend wrote ont to his correspondent in New
Mexico and found that he too was unaware
of the poisonous nature of the animal, and
had only sent it on account of its rarity;
"but," said the New Mexican, with charm
ing frankness in writing, "now you mention
it, I do remember that one of these lizards
bit a man, and certainly that man died."
