ISLAND fOND, JANUARY 1 ., IoB7.
A HOLISM THE HIMIMin TOLLS.
Oar Canaan corrcHpoiulctit reports
a gcueral feeling of indignation ex
isting there on account of tin action
taken Ly the directors of the Bridge
Co., in increasing the toll?, and hints
"at the possibility of another bridge
Wing built. Wo have for a long
time wondered why the pcoplo of
the great valley of the Connecticut,
who, both sides of which, are iden
tical in habits, customs and employ
ments should be annoyed by this
Ancient custom of collecting tolls.
'the tolls are trifling in themselves,
but like gnats and fleas, they are
devilish annoying, and arc constant
ly fretting and chafing people in
their intercourse with each other,
iii the same village perhaps. They
interrupt and cljg the blood in the
veins of a village situated on the
Connecticut precisely as a toll
bridge would operate located in the
midst of the business part of Mont
pclicr, which would be to interrupt
the business circulation of that vil
lage just long enough to make it free
cither by lcgnl means, or an instan
taneous riot. Wc hope the remarks
by our correspondent will stir np
tho dry bones of this fopeilatod old
system.
The Constitution of the United
States authorizes Congress to
establish "uniform laws on the sub
ject of bankruptcies throughout the
United States." It should he so
amended as to give Congress a sim
ilar power on the more important
subject of marriage and divorce.
While all the states havo emflted
laws for the regulation of this sub
ject, these laws are not uniform,
and arc operative only in the
particular state enacting them.
The divorce system, as conducted
under state laws, has carried along
with it enormous evils, injurious'io
the best interests of the family, nnd
j c lions to tho state itself. This fact
Las been abundantly shown by the
Htatistics in respect to marriage and
divorce. The number of divorces,
in proportion to that of marriages is
frightful. There is no adequate
remedy for this evil, except in a
system of laws that will operate
uniformly throughout the whole
country, and this can be supplied
only by putting the subject within
the legislative control of Congress.
The subject itself is far more impor
tant to the national weal than that
of bankruptcies; and if Congress
should have power over the latter,
then, for much stronger reasons, it
should have power over the former.
Senator Hawley of Connecticut
recently delivered an interesting
address before the students of Ham
ilton College, in which are some
points which deserve extended pub
' lication. He spoke against discon
tent with the presentjthe agitation
for constant change, especially as
relating to socialism and anarchy.
"Wc demand respect for law and
government," said Senator Hawley,
"from those who would destroy all
government and solidify all prop
erty. I get very impatient with
those men who sneer at politics and
politicians, who joke at the purity
of womanhood and the sanctity of
the church. There is no more hon
est work done in the United States
than is done "in the Government.
The people believe this while they
eay to the contrary. This is why
they ask tho Government, although
it would be a great mistake, to take
charge of banks, railroads and tele
graph lines."
Further he continues, "As educa
ted young men, you must not forget
that the Lord and your country
havo demands on you for what you
have of talent. To be a politician
in the bct t sense is second only to
being a minister of the Lord Jesus
Christ. The most cowardly thing
on God's footstool is to run away
from your Government. Though
you may not be an active politician
keep informed in matters of politics
Always go to the 6aucus, the begin
ning of government. Know what
itt being done and see that it is done
lightly. Do your duty everywhere
as scholars and American citizens
and everywhere above tho plume
and .the bayonet shall wave the
lilies and palms of love and peace."
Who will succeed the late Senator
Logan in the Senate of the United
States? The names mentioned al
ready as possible candidates are
Governor Oglesby, Charles 13. Far
well, ex-Governor Hamilton, and
Congressman Payson. Tho Repub
licans havo tho majority in the
Illinois Legislature on joiut ballot;
and this settles the question that a
Republican will be elected.

A Self Made Man.
Frank McLaughlin, publisher and prin
cipal owner of the Philadelphia Times,
one of the youngest and yet one of the
most prosperous (tallies cf that city, is en
tirely Eilf-made, bavins begnn life ns a
practical printer. Thlrty-fivo years neo
he was in ths ;ob pi luting o lice of the?
Ledger, then owned by Swain, Abell &
Simmons, and was tho fast-st typetcttr
Itt the office. One day, at th? dinner hour,
Abraham Harkcr, a rich broker, stopped
in nnd wanted to have a t-tock lit be
carried hi hii hand set r.p ml fifty copies
Etnick off. A the forcm.-im itrd h sasM.-.
taut were ubrcr.t, I'rank received the
order and said he would execute it. lie
HBkrd a fellow craftsman to aid hint, but
decided to do it alone when the other
grumbled about not having time to fat
M3f.111r.er. Huker v;it?il, nart in ktss
nan half nn bonrtre printer had fin'shed
the work. The broker was surpr-ircd at
his despatch, thanked him, r.iyl v?Lt
away. The pext diiy Barker fnt tor him,
and expreM-injr pleasure at his itidtuitrv.
energy and courtesy, asked him to p.-int
tho stock list everyday, and agreed to
give t300 a month for it". Kmnk doelared
the prhe esccww e, but the brokti int.istcil
thai Uvtp.N worth all of that to have it
done as he had already done it. This, the
first work he had attempted on his own
account, led to his four.cliiK the printing
iionsc.ot.wc i aiiKbiin Jirothors, hwbiothcr
John beii!K the partner. The firm, which
still sets up the stock l'j:t, has been very
profitable. Eleven years .-130 Frank Mc
Laughlin, in r onjwction with Alexander
K. McCltive, eytablii-hcd the Time, ta'tins
the bulk of t he fiord:. He. has grotvn rich,
and is considered one of the iwt 'uisinois
men in rh'lnde'phla. His chief defect la
?aid by the local papes to bo a lack of
appreciation of thesc-rvict'sof theecittoiinl
staff. Its members are oonrtit!y goinu
to other offices, because th"y caacouiinnnd
higher salaries than McLaughlin is willing
to pay.
Yoraoi.y of the Cattish.
Senator Kenna tolls a Fiorv which iili!
trates the voracity of tho catfish. lie shvs
that on a fishing e:;cnn 1 m up on .New
Kiver, in West virgina, one of the party
caught three catfish, each several i-i.-.es
larger than the oher. As it happened.
the largest was caught first, tho iiixt in
size second and the smallest laid-, and they
were strung in that order ar:d pln-ed in
the water. Upon removing; the suing it
was found that the second finh on llu
str'ng had attempted to Mvallovv his smal
ler brother, and while he was perfonnlnt;
that feat the big fe'.low at the bottom waa
engaged ia swallowing b;ih the others.
Kenna declares that p.ny'ojdy who knows
anything of the greediness of catfish will
readily bvheve this story.
Dr. Henry Mowers, of Highland Park,
111., tells the following story, and a friend
vouches for its truth :
"About a half mils wast cf my place io
a liitle Etrcam which bscamo stocked in
some unaccountable manner with game
fish, the creek ran dry, and while I was
making an early hunt for a liee-lrce I
knew to be near, I noticed somethinst
wriggling in the grass. I made au inves
tigation, and, blades of old Ike Walton!
what did I seo but a whole gang of prime
trout making tracks acroes country for
the lake. 1 ran and got a bng and
gathered in a choice 150 of the speckled
bJuutios without paying any'attention to
the five hundred bass, pickerel uud cattish
that were hustling across the meadow.
A few rods further on I struck a wide
trail leading from the creek to the lake,
and, following it up, I got to the shore
Just in time to see a big cchool of bull
heads tumbling gleefully into the surf.
That's certainly the most wonderful thing
I ever saw.
"I understand how the fish got along
through the fields by drinking the dew,
but how they ever climbed the picket
fences and crossed the Northwestern track
beats my time."
KroR.i 'and Mice.
That frogs have a formidable enemy In
the common mouse is evidenced by the
following incident. A correspondent of
Nature, Mr. W. August Carter, of South
Norwood, states, that h o observ ed several
mice pursuing some frogs iu a shed which
was overrun with thess ieptile. The
alacrity of tho latter, however, rendered
the attacks ofihe mire futile for a con
siderable, period. Attain and aain the
frogs escaped from tho clutches" of their
foes, but only to be recaptured, reverely
shaken, and bitten. The energy put forth
by these reptiles wca so fcreat that they
actually swayed their captors to and fro
in their efforts to wrest themselves from
their grasp. At length the wounds in
flicted uron them rendered tho frogs In
capable of further resistance, and they
were easily overpowered by tins mice,
which devoured a certain part of them.
Ho Wit! 1)1 a atmul Death.
George Riley of Schenectady, who had
hi hand crushed In a drill press, is not a
fortunate youth. Wbou very small ho
fell oft a fence and brake his nose. Later
he wa nearly drowned ; then his toes were
crushed by tho cars; then bo broke his
nose again ; then his hend was crnthed be
tween the bumpers ot railroad cars, and
when tho skating rink way opened he was
tho flretto hurt himself, breaking his arm.
A Wedding Cake bat no Crremony.
A young man of Lewiston, Me., drove
to the house of hisbrirlc elect on Saturday,
expecting to be married, according to pre
vious arrangements. H was therefore
naturally surprised to be told by the
young woman that she guessed she would
n't be married just then, that she had de
cided that she didn't want to be tied down
to married life so early. Cut he made the
best of it end departed with the wedding
cake, on which, that evening, ho and bis
friends feasted.
