Those who are in the habit of neglecting to hand iu to the assessors a list of their taxable property within the time fixed by law for filing such list should read carefully the following act which was passed by the Connecticut legislature at its recent session Every person liable to give iu a list of his taxable property and fails to do so may within 20 days after the expiration of the time fixed by law for filing such list, be notified by the assessors to appear before them to be examined under oath as to his property liable to taxation, for the purpose of verifying the list made out by the assessors under the provisions of Section 8, SOS) of the general statutes as amended by chapter 102 of the public acts of 1S97.

Any person who shall neglect or refuse to appear before said assessors and make oath to a list of his taxable property within 10 days after he has been notified to so appear, sha 11 be fined not more thaii $1,000. It shall be the duty of the assessors to promptly inform the proper proceuting officers of an violation of this act." Iu commenting the other day on the birth of the Italian princess, Yolauda Margherita, one of the English papers pointed out that the position of nurse to the young princess is quite a profitable one. The woman selected receives per month during her stay at the royal palace and a month pension for th rest of her lifetime. This is very good pay for Italy, and besides that there nre a number of perquisites which come her way. When her foster child has its first tooth she is given an equal sum when it is able to walk and $2 000 more when it can speak.

Whoia she loaves the palace sho is presented with a further sum of It will therefore, be seen that if the princess grows up, her nurse will receive, besides wages and a pension, the sum of quite a fortune for her native town among the Latin hills. There are many people who would'nt mind being nurse to the princess for Says the Providence Journal: "The gift of $100,000 to Columbia university to establish a department of Chinese will strike some persons as fanatic and unnecessary. Yet we have much to learn from the despised oriental and Chinese civilization is perhaps the oldest in the world. A similar department at Harvard was a failure 25 years ago. To sneer at the intellectual attainments of theChincse race is to confess one's ignorance.

The celestial does not i as we do, but when we have said so much we have not reached a conclusion of much importance. In the next few years we shall come into closer toxich with the far east and it may prove of interest and value to have some place in the United State where the rudiments of the Chinese language may be learned and some insight gamed into the workings of the oriental mind." A surgeon of the British army who has hnd innch experience in passing for little men for fighting purposes, believing that the idea is old and obsolete that a man cannot be a good and efficient soldier tmless he measures a certain rraiubor of feet and inches iu height. In modern warfare, where the issue of every fight is usually decided at a distance, stature counts for little and is rather a disadvantage thau otherwise. This officer therefore suggests the reducing to a minimum Jof five feet the standard height of all recruits for mounted infantry and light cavalry. Notwithstanding all that has beeu said of the actions of children at the public fountain in the park the youngsters continue to do about as they please there.

For their own good, if for no other reas9n, they should be taught to have more respect for public property Old-TimeXeadew "Who Drafted the Pres- of the State. The constitutional convention of ISIS, by which the organic law that has governed the state from that time till now was formulated, was held in Hartford, the session beginning August 20, and lasting until September 1C of that year. At that time there were 120 towns in the state. The total number of delegates iu the convention was 201, each town being entitled to the same number of delegates in the convention that it had members in the general assembly. Litchfielcl county had the largest and Middlesex county the smallest number of delegates in the convention.

The apportionment by counties gave Hartford 32 delegates, New Haven 25, New London 38, Fairfield 28, Windham 25, Litchfield H8, Middlesex 14 and Tolland 17. The delegates from the town of Hartford were Sylvester Wells and Nathaniel Terry. New Haven was represented by William Bristol and Nathan Smith. Governor Oliver Wolcott was the president of the convention. The delegates were called to order by Jesse Root of Coventry, who was the oldest member present.

There were two clerks elected, James Lauman of Norwich and Robert Fairchild of Stratford. The overshadowing figures in the convention were Pierpont Edwards of Stratford, Stephen Mix Mitchell of Wetheerfleld, Gideon Tomlinsou of Fairfield, John Treadwell of Farmingtou, James Lauiuau of Norwich and John S. Peters of Hebron. The first step after organization was the appointment of a committee on what was called a system of rules. The members of this committee were Nathaniel Terry of Hartford, James Stevens of Pitkiu of Farmingtou, Stephen Mix Mitchell of Wethpisfield and Aniasa Lamed of New committee on drafting a constitution was composed of three members from each county.

The Hartford county members of this committee wore Sylvester Wells, Timothy Pitkiu and Elisha Phelps of Simsbnry. New Haven was represented by two delegates from the city of New Haven, William Bristol and Nathan Smith, and by William Todd of Gnilford. The members from New London county were Moses Warren of Lyme, Amasa Larncd of New London and James Lannmn of Norwich. Pierpont Edwards headed the list from Fairfield county. His associates from the coxinty were James Stevens of Stamford and Gideon Tom- linsou of Fairfiold.

The members from Wincihnm county wore Peter Webb of Wiiidham, George Lamed of Thompson and Edmund Freeman of Mansfield. The Litchfield county members were John Welch of Litchfield, Angntiis Pcttibonc of Norfolk and Orange Mciwin of New Milford. Middlesex county was represented by Joshua Stow of Middlotown, William Hungprford of East Haddam and Thomas Lyman of Durham. Tolland county was represented by Dauic4 Burrows of Hebron, Asa Willey of Ellington and John S. Peters of Hebron.

I Pierpoiit Edwards was made the chairman of this most imporaut committee in the convention. He was the sou of the great New England theologian, Jonahau Edwards, and graduated from Princeton college iu 17G8. He began his law practice in New Haven before the Revolutionary war, iu which he took pnrt. Ho was the administrator of the estate of Benedict Arnold! He was the founder of the Toleration party in Connecticut, which forced the holding of a constitutional convention. Pierpout Edwards was also the most uoted Free Mason of his time iu Connecticut and was the first grand master of the grand lodge iu the state, holding that office in 17S9.

He was a mnii of brilliant attainments and guided the deliberations of the committee ou drafting the constitution with a masterly ha ml. Gideon Tomlinsou and Johu S. Petnrs wore both elected governor of the state after the convention. Governor Tomlinson was sent to the United States senate in 1S31. Judge Peters was governor for two years from 1831 and died iu Hebron April 1, 185S.

John Treadwell of Farmiugtou was governor in 1809 and was the first president of the American Board of Foreign Missions. Stephen Mix Mitchell was made chief justice of the state iu 1807 and held the office until 1814, when ho was retired ou account of having passed the age limit. He had served in the Uuited States senate and was a presidential elector in 1805. It was largely through his iuflueiico in congress that Counecticvit's title to "the wes- crn reserve" was secured. This tract of land enabled the state to establish the school fund.

James Laumau, who was the clerk of the convention, was iu the Uuited States senate from 1S19 until 1825. He was appointed by Governor Wolcott for a second term during a recess of the legislature before a vacancy had occurred. The senate decided, however, that the appointment was without authority of law. Governor Wolcott was one of the ablest men in the stat and his cooperation with the representatives of reform intho convention was thorough and effective. He was the sou of Oliver Wolcott, who was the governor of the state iu 1796 and grand son of Koger Wolcott, who was the chief executive of the colony from 1751 until 1754.

This is the only iustance in the history of the state, where three generations in one family have beeu represented in. the chief magistracy. Governor Wolcott, the president of the convention, was in Wash- ingtons' cabinet as secretary of the treasury. He was re-appointed by John Adams and was at the head of the department when' the' treasury a JK building tvas burned. He succeeded Alexander Hamilton 'WashiBgton's' cabinet and was the last survivor of that body.

He held the governorship of Connecticut 10 years. He was one. of the founders of the Hartford bank. That old institution is now having a portrait of Governor Wolcott painted, being a copy of the portrait in the state library. The work of the convention was completed aud adjournment ordered Wednesday, September 16, 1818.

One of the curious features of the adjournment was the passage of resolutions paying the presiding officer and the clerks for extra 'Governor Wolcott was allowed for extra services as president of the convention aud the sum of $25 each was allowed to Delegates Laumau and Fairchild for extra services as clerks. The work of the convention was submitted to the people for ratification within a short time after the adjournment. The popular vote in favor of its adoption was 13,918. The vote against ratification was The majority was 1,554. Governor Wolcott's proclamation announcing the ratification was issued October 12, 18f8.

Taking all the facts into consideration the work was executed with great expedition. The delegates were elected July 4 aud the convention assembled August 20. Its deliberations were finished September 16, and the new organic law of the state became operative October 12. The times were ripe for the change aud the resultant benefits were of the greatest value. The Nauratuek Drug Post Office Block, APOTHECARIES, IVaugatuck, Conn TRAIN WRECKERS.

Rockefeller, the richest man in the United when askocl if wealth was requisite to happiness admitted guardedly that he was happier iu the possession of his millions than he would be without them. "Is wealth a necessary requisite to happiness?" Mr.

Eockefeller was asked during a brief lull in the celebration at the Chicago university. "It depends upon the man," said Mr. Rockefeller, somewhat sharply. "In your case, Mr. Rockefeller, do you think that wetalth is necessary to yuro happiness?" "Well, I don't know, he replied slowly.
