"A Successful Man" is the title of what is probably the brightest American St6ry— typically American—which has appeared for many years. It is a story of life prom­inent in fashion and in politics, written by a member of New York's highest society who displays a genius as a writer destined to make her tiame famous—although she substitutes a nom de plume for, her dwn well known one. "A Successful Man" will appear in two parts in the Cosmopoli­tan magazine—the first in the September issue-gand is illustrated by Harry Mc-Vickaf, the drawings being made from life from acting models who were guests and servants at a Long Islond country h o u s e . : ; . v : ' r r ; : h : f - • - *

It was the universal opinion of the spectators that the finest appearing body of men in the Knights of Columbus parade, at Stamford, last Thursday, went from Norwalk.

The Bridgeport weekly 8un has struck quite,a boom. It has inaugarated a news­boys selling contest with prizes worth $100 and is about to move into new and enlarged quarters on Middle street. W. H.

There are four important elections in September, but little interest is expressed, as the resnlt of only one is in doubt. Maine and Vermont choose state officers and congressmen, and will surely go republican. Wyoming will begin as a state by repeating the republican major­ities formerly given to a congressional delegate. Arkansas alone offers field for speculation.

The thief who stole Charles Waterbury's gold watch from his vest pocket at Ray­mond & Comstock's factory, last Saturday, fflras apprehended in Bridgeport, on Mon­day. His name was Wm.

The Record says New Canaan is a nice place to visit. That is true and New Can­aan could give old Canaan of sacred his­tory, points, and then sail far ahead of her. For not only is our umbrageous and sprightly neighbor truly a land that flows with, milk and honey, but its Rock Spring Dairy, puts out a daily yield of gilt edge butter that would make one of those old Judea natives green with envy.

The Noroton correspondent of the Advo­cate says: "Captain Webb, of Fitch's Home, and Captain Caleb Wood, of Nor­walk, will have quite a diversified experi­ence this week. Capt. Wood's sailing boat will take a small party to the en­campment at Niantic, and after remaining there a day or two, the party will go over to the Long Island shore, about opposite New London, and tackle the bluefish which are said to be very plenty there."

The New Canaan Messenger says: the Connecticut Farmer, in an editorial under date of August 16, urges the farmers of this state to choose a farmer for their governor for 1892, and among other well known men in this commonwealth men­tions the name of Edwin Hoyt, of this town. We heartily second the nomination of the gentleman, and guarantee that this county and town would give him a rous-mg good majority, "y , ,> - '»}

The races at the Fair Grounds last week were in every way successful, the attend­ance being large and the trotting good. There was perhaps more than the usual amount of crooked business, for which the management was in no wise respon­sible, an<Hvhicli was suppressed as fast as it showed itself. The suspension, fine and expulsion of the Birmingham horse Owner and driver, who were so palpably crooked as to disgust the entire assem­blage, met with universal approbation.

Theje was a grand illumination and ball at the Indian Harbor Hotel, Greenwich, Saturday evening. The bay was full of yachts and smaller craft gaily decked with colored lights and lanterns, while from many of them showers of rockets and colored fires of all sorts were shot up into the chilly sky, while a thousand guests crowded the hotel.;

Two of our handsomest and most prom­inent citizens, accompanied by their wives, left town Monday morning for a few days stay in presumably more congenial climes. Gen. and Mrs. Charles Olmstead started for Bethlehem, New Hampshire, that Paradise of bay fever sufferers as well as of those who ace free from that disagree­able affliction. Ex-Mayor C. B. Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge started at about the same time for Saratoga for a brief stay.

It must have been "a pretty sight" for those who saw Paymaster Ed. Crowe in the act of seeing the pretty sight afforded by the men who stood at each guy rope of the tents at Niantic and gave a pull when the signal gun was fired, and thus dropped all the tents at once, on Saturday forenoon last, when, as a matter of fact, the tents were not dropped until 24 hours after Ed.'s graphic description of the "pretty sight" was printed. •

The boat race between Capt. Charles Brotherton's skip-jack, "Hattie," and Hines' boat "Wombat," was won by the Hattie, by one minute and ten seconds. It was witnessed by a large number of people in a formidable fleet of boats. The purse was $50, besides which Land­lord Powers, of the Dorlon House, is to present to Captain Brotherton a ten-foot pennant containing the word "Champion." Charlie Reiley, who sailed the Wombat, has challenged Brotherton for a second race, which will take place in a couple of weeks.

On Thursday morning, by invitation of Mr. C. T. Leonard, a number of gentle­men accompanied him to St. John avenue to inspect a section of water pipe just laid there. The pipe is of rolled steel, lined on either side with asphalt which is re-enforced on the inside with a thick layer of cement. The great feature of the pipe is the joints, which are drawn together with iron collars over a tight fitting flange of soft lead by a pressure that squeezes the lead to conform perfectly to the pipe and makes, Mr. Leonard claims, an abso­lutely tight joint.

The very newest thing about town is the "Bombay oyster." The "Bombay oyster" isn't an oyster at all, of course, but this is the name that has been bestow­ed on it. It is a composition sufficiently simple and common to please the lean and larded purse alike. It is nothing more than an egg dropped unbroken into a tumbler and deluged with vinegar, and sprinkled with pepper and ealt. It is con­sumed always before breakfast and by a great many sporting men in the city. One of its effects is to counteract the evil ten­dencies of over-drinking and. over-eating. Some stout men like a "Bombay oyster" in the morning and eat nothing again until noon. For a bilious stomach it is the finest kind of a remedy.—Boston Qlobe.

That standard old American drama, Uncle Tom's Cabin, will be presented in the Opera House on Friday evening, in all the completeness of the modern rendition, and will, without doubt, attract a full house, as it always docs. Of its recent production by the Peck & Fursman com­pany in Utica, the Daily Press Of that city said:— *

A large audience witnessed Peck & Fursman's Mammoth Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. at the Utica Opera House last night. The gallery was not large enough to hold all the people who wanted to see Uncle Tom's Cabin last evening. The house was a large one. The stage held all the advertised attractions, including the two Topsys, the two lawyers, the donkey, the bloodhounds and the pony, besides the jubilee singers. To judge the merit of the performance by the appreciation of the listeners, it was a great success. The members of the company were good and displayed great dramatic ability. Little Eva was especially bright and pretty, and was encored on her songs. It is useless to wonder why this old and worn out piece can continue to draw. The pros­pect is that it will be years before the public is relieved. If we mnst have Uncle Tom, this company is more desirable than most of them. •

Cbas. O. C. Betts and Groceryman Holmes, of Main street, have commenced again to talk about going to Saratoga. If winter doesn't set in too soon tbey may get off this time. You see it is this way: The jolly and rotund Boniface who runs the Waverley Hotel at the springs, always makes a deduction from his highest mid­summer rates to Betts, on account of his religious example, and our friend Holmes, being of a frugal and thrifty turn, isn'H slow to "catch on" to the pecuniary ad-||f vantage of "traveling and tavernmg with Betts. • .

Springfield Republican .'—Samples of those pearl-gray postal cards to be devot­ed to the use of women, and one size smaller than men's, have been forwarded from Birmingham, Ct, to Postmaster-General Wanamaker for his approval. It is also announced that the postmaster-general is deeply absorbed in devising some means of escaping tbe incongruity of the new red postage stamp when placed on mourning envelopes by the issue of a special stamp for the use of the aggrieved. All goes to show that the long mercantile experience of the head of the post office department, especially in the consideration of the smallest needs of women, has been. of high value to the administration. Who, in the face of these thing<:, could say that woman is denied a place it the affairs of state? . • •'

Mrs. Sarah Tompkins, relict of the late Charles H. Smith, died at the home of her son-in-law, Fred A. Taylor, on Orchard street, on Thursday last, at tbe age of 63 years and 5 months. She was a devout Christian lady, and was for many years a member of the Congregational church. The latter days of her life were darkened by the death of a son and husband, both of whom were taken from her withfn a month. Since her husband's death she had made her home with her daughter., Mrs. Taylor, whose filial devotion and affectionate solicitude did much to bright­en the gloom that enshrouded the aged ana afflicted mother's last days. Mrs. Smith's funeral was attended on Saturday afternoon from Mr. Taylor's residence.

Ellen Selleck was, for a short time pre­vious to last Tuesday, the-chief cook in Uncle Jotu Collins' American House restaurant. She was a good cook ; her puddings were poems, her scrambled eggs were frothy, fluffy and baseless as the fabric of a vision, and her hash was like a dream—but she would look upon the wine when it was red, white and blue, and when under its hilarisus influence she was an altered man. On Tuesday she had one of her periodical attacks of ma­laria and partook liberally of her ever-ready remedy, whiskey and quinine with the quinine left out. The deplorable re­sult was that she suddenly became the victim of a delusion that the kitchen was hers with all that it contained, and she forthwith proceeded to take forcible pos­session regardless of the protest of Uncle John and his staff of lieutenants. It was finally necessary to call in an officer in order to subdue the pugnacious Ellen and it required the combined and united ef­forts of Chief Buttery to convince her that she was a prisoner. She was taken before Judge Austin, to whom she confessed guilt, professed penitence and paid $6.36 to cover the costs of the trouble she had made the authorities, the fine of $3.00 having been remitted by the court on con­dition of Ellen leaving town at once as a guaranty of good faith. There is a new cook at Uncle John's now. "t*

Many years ago, Major Newson, who sailed on Saturday for his Consular post at Malaga, Spain, wrote a series of vividly entertaining magazine articles, detailing his own personal experiences among tbe wild Indian tribes inhabiting his newly adopted state of Minnesota. Later these articles were collected and published in book form, and the thrilling narratives have been the intense delight of every school boy within whosehands a copy has chanced to come. At the editorial home there is spending his vacation a ten year old "chip of the old block" of the second generation, who had devoured these thrill­ing adventures over and over again. With all the avidity of youth's intensity of imagination, and when he was told that Maj9r Newson, the author of these be­witching and blood curdling tales, was to be a guest of his grandparents for the day, the lad's curiosity and expectations were at their intensest height. At length when the Major finally arrived, and the little fellow saw him lift his hat in a polite bow to his old friends and entertainers, the boy exclaimed to his mother, with intense enthusiasm, "Yes, that's him—he's the Indian fellow—don't you see he's been scalped?" It is only necessary to add that the Major not only carries about one hundred and ninety pounds brain pressure to the square iuch of skull, but he has one of those high, intellectual foreheads that extends from the base of the nose to the nape of the neck, with never a hair to mar its shining surface^ /;The roar of laughter that went up after the boy's diagnosis of the famous author, made the welkin ring and no one enjoyed the joke or was made more hilarious by it than our old friend Newson himself. «

i LOVE AND STABS.; When I watched the f oc!l upon the Lu-

boron I loiiyiinefl wlioic weeks without seeing ;i living soul, alone in the pasturage with my dog Labrh and my sheep. From time to (line the hermit of Mont de l'Ure passed there ' r> look for medicinal herbs, or I saw t.he black face of some Piedmont collier; br.t they were simple souls, silent by dint of solitude, having lost the taste for talking and knowing nothing of wfcat was said down in the villages and towns. Hence every two weeks,when I heard upon the ascending highway the bells of our farm male, bringing me my provisions for the coming fortnight, and saw gradually appear from below the 'lively countenance of the little farm boy or the red locks of oid A,ulit Norude, I was indeed delighted. I made the visitor tell me the news of the country at the foot of the mountain—the baptisms, the marriages, but that which j interested me most of all was what had |

' happened to my""master's daughter, our i Demoiselle Stephanette, the prettiest girl j for ten leagues around.

Without appearing to.be too much bent upon acquiring this knowledge I gathered information as to whether she wentagreat deal to fetes and evening assemblies; whether new admirers were still throng­ing about her, and should you ask me what* good those details could do me, a poor shepherd of the mountain, I will reply that I was 20 years old, and that Stephanette was in my eyes the handsom­est creature on the face of God's earth.

Now, one Sunday when I was waiting for my provisions, it so chanced that they did not arrive until very late. In the morning I sai l to myself: " It is the fault of the high mass;" then toward noon a heavy ?. terra, came on and I thought that the mule had been unable to set out be­cause of the bad condition of the road. At last, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the .sky having cleared and the mountain be­ing all of a glitter with water and sun­light, I heard, amid the droppings from the leaves and the overflowing of the swollen brooks, the bells of the mule, as gay and brisk as a grand church chime on Foster day.

But it was neither the little farm boy nor old Aunt Norade who was urging the animal along. It was—guess whol our demoiselle, my friends —our demoiselle herself, seated right between the osier baskets, all rosy with the mountain air and the coolness brought on by the storm.

The little farm boy was sick; Aunt Xorade was absent on a holiday visit to her children. Pretty Stephanette told me all this as she sprang down from her mule, and also that she was late in arriving be­cause she had lost her way. But to see her so finely dress*;! , with her flowered ribbons, her brilliant skirt and her lace, she had rather the air of having lingered at some dance than of having sought for her road among the bushes.

mountains only a sprinkle of sun, a vapory light toward the west. I invited our de­moiselle to enter the fold and sleep. Hav­ing spread a handsome new sheepskin over the clean, straw, I bade her goo/, night, and, going out into the open air, seated my­self before the door. God is my witness that,'despite the fire of love that was scorching my blood, no evil thought came to me, nothing but an overpowering pride on thinking that in a corner of the fold, close beside the curious flock that stared at her as she lay asleep, my master's daughter—like a sheep more precious and whiter than all the rest—was reposing, in­trusted to my care.

Never had the heavens appeared to pos­sess such depths, never had the stars seemed so brilliant. Suddenly the door ol the fold opened and pretty Stephanette made her appearance. She could not sleep. The animals rattled the straw as they moved about, or bleated in their dreams. She preferred to come to the fire. Seeing this,*I cast my sheepskin over her shoul­ders. I stirred up the flames and we sat down side by side, remaining thus without uttering a single word.

K you have ever passed a night in the open air you know that at the hour when we sleep a mysterious world awakes amid the. solitude and the silence. Then the brooks sing in theif "clearest tones and the ponds are lighted up with tiny flames. ^1] the spirits of the mountain freely come and go; there is a rustling in the air, there are almost imperceptible sounds, as if we heard the tree branches growing and the grass springing up. Da}' is the life of creatures, but night is the life of things. When one is not accustomed to this it fills one with fear. Therefore our demoiselle was all; of a quiver and clung to me closely at the slightest noise.

At one time, a long rnelanchoJ y cry arose from the pond that sparkled below us and came rolling upward to our ears. At the same instant a beautiful shooting star glided over our heads in the same direction, as if the lamentation we heard were bear­ing a flash of light with it.

"What is that?" asked Stephanette, in a whisper.

"'A soul entering paradise, mistress!" answered I making the sign of the cross.

She nlade the same sign and, for a mo­ment, gazed meditatively into the heavens. Then she said to me:

"Is it true, shepherd, that you people are magicians?"

"Not in the least, our demoiselle. But here we live much nearer the stare than the people of the plain, and know better what is taking place among the sparkling lights of heaven!"

She was still gazing upward, resting her head against one of her hands, and wrap­ped in the sheepskin Kite a little heavenly shepherd.

. "Ah, how beautiful they are!" cried she. "I never saw so many of them before! Do j you know their names, shepherd?" |

"Yes, indeed, mistress! Listen: Bight above us is St. Jacques' highway. It goes from France straight into Spain. It was St. Jacques de Galice who traced it to show his road to the brave Charlemagne when he was making war upon the Saracens. Further away you have the Car of Souls, with its four replendant axletrees. The three stars in front are the three horses, and that tiny one almost against the third is the car driver. Do you see all around that shower of falling stars? They are the souls the good God does not want in heaven.

Sometimes during the winter, when the flock had gone down into the plain and I had returned in the evening to the farm­house to sup, she passed briskly through the hall, without talking much to the servants, always bedecked and a trifle haughty. Now I had her there before me, for myself alone. Was it not enough to turn my head?

When she had taken the provisions from the basket Stephanette began to look cu­riously around her. Raising a little her Sunday skirt, that might otherwise have become stained with mud, she entered the fold. She wished to see the corner where I slept, the pile of straw that was my bed, my sheepskin covering, my big cape hung against the wall, my crook in my flintlock gun. All this amused her.

"So it is here you live, is it, my poor shepherd?" said she, with a heavenly smile. "How tired you must gyt of always being alone. What do you do? What do you think about?" :

I had a strong desire to reply, "About you, mistress," and I should have told the truth, br.t my confusion was sp great that I could not.find a single word. I think she noticed this, and that the mischievous creature took pleasure in redoubling my embarrassment with her roguery.-

"And your sweetheart, shepherd?" con­tinued she. "Does she climb up here to see you sometimes? Surely she must be the Golden Goat or the Fairy Esterelle, who skips only over the summits of the mount­ains." And she herself, as she spoke thus to me, had the very air of the Fairy Ester­elle, with her lovely head thrown back, the pearly laughter rippling from her cherry lips, and her haste to depart that made her visit seem like a dazzling vision.

"Adieu, shepherd!" ;rj • "Adieu, mistress!" And she was gone, bearing away with

her the empty baskets. When the descending road hid her from

sight it seemed to me that the stones roll­ing beneath the shoes of the mule were falling one by one upon my heart. I heard them a lo_g, long time, and until the close of the day I was like one wrapped in a sweet slumber, fearing to stir lest I might drive away my dream.

Toward evening, ate the depths of the val­ley began to grow blue and as the sheep huddled together, bleating to return to the fold, I heard some one call me down the road and saw reappear our demoiselle, no longer smiling as I had seen her a short time before, but trembling with cold, feai and wet. It seems that at the base of the mountain she had found the Sorgue terri­bly swollen by the recent rain, and that in making a desperate effort to cross it she had nearly been drowned.

The most dreadful thing of all was that at this hour of the night she could not think of attempting to return to the farm, for our demoiselle by herself could never find the way by the short cut and I could not leave the flock. The idea of passing the night upon the mountain tormented her almost to madness,^particularly on ac­count of the uneasiness her family would feel. As for me, I reassured her the best j was able..

"In July the nights "aire short, mistress," said I. "It will hardly seem -more than a wretched moment." ^

And I quickly kindled roaring fire U dry her feet and her dress all soaked with the water of the Sorgue. Afterward ] placed before her milk and sheep's milk cheese, but'the poor damsel did not think either of warming herself or of eating, and at the sight of the big tears that gathered in her eyes I felt like weepiag myself.

them to know that it is now after mid­night. A little lower yet, still looking to­ward the south, shines Jean de Milan, the torch of the stars. Regarding that star this is what the shepherds relate: It ap­pears that one night Jean de Milan, with the Three Kings and the Ponciniere, was invited to the wedding of a star, one of their friends. The Ponciniere, more in a hurry than the rest, started, they say, the first of all and took the high road. Look at her up there away in the midst of the heavens.

"The Three Kings went by a lower road and overtook her, but lazy Jean de Milan, who had slept too late, was left behind, atad, in order to stop them, in his fury he threw his stick at them. That is why the Three Kings are also called Jean de Milan's Stick. But the most beautiful of all the stars—mistress—is ours, the Shepherd's Star, that, lights us at dawn when we drive forth our flocks, and also in the evening when we bring them back. We have given it another name, Maguelonne, the beauti­ful Maguelonne, who runs after Pierre de Provence and marries him every seven' years."

"What, shepherd! Are there then mar­riages among the stars?" : y

^ f'Yes, indeed, mistress!" ^And, as I was striving to explain to her

what these marriages were, I felt some­thing cool and soft weigh lightly upon my shoulder. It was her head, heavy with sleep, that was leaning against me, with a pretty rustling of ribbons, lace and wavy hair. She remained thus without stirring until the moment when the stars of heaven paled,.effaced by the dawning day.

As for me, I beheld her sleeping, some­what troubled, but fully protected by the bright night that has never given me other than pure thoughts. Around us the stars continued their silent march as docile as a vast flock, and at times I imagined that one of those stars—the prettiest and most brilliant of them all—having lost its way, had come to me and placed its head Upon my shoulder that it might slumber in peace.—Alphonse Daudet in Philadelphia News.

Obstacle Is t.lie Great Waste of Energy

I in Transmission.

I A great cleal of surmise and comment is • taking place in engineering circles about

Postmaster Yan Cott's remark that the only solution of the problem of the rapid

j collection and distribution of mails lies in the adoption of the compressed air system. A correspondent thinks that this system could also be adopted with advantage for the transmission of samples, packages, etc., which are frequently subjected to many delays with the present express facilities. Some officials seem to regard such articles as of little importance, whereas it is often of great moment to have samples forward­ed with all possible dispatch.

The possibilities of compressed air are. as yet not fully realized in this country. The pneumatic tube system of communi-

. cation is of course in use in many of the big down town stores, in newspaper of­fices and to some extent between Western Union offices; but there exists a great deal of ignorance about the use of compressed air, even among engineering experts. Of course the principle of the system is well understood, but except for mining opera­tions and for sending articles from one part of a building to another it is not in general commercial use in the United States. . : i

A leading engineer said to a reporter the other day: "This compressed air system, ol which there is so much talk, is financially well supported, but it's all humbug." This expresses the opinion of a great many who are supposed to be thoroughly acquainted with the most recent developments of me­chanical science. But as many whose oc­cupation does not lead them to make strict investigation into the feasibility of all the mechanical contrivances that come into public discussion are beginning to think that the use of compressed air would solve many postal difficulties and also mitigate the smoke nuisance, a brief summary of the information on the subject is given here.

THE SYSTEM USED IN PARIS. I It is generally believed that the system, now in actual use in Paris, has solved the question of the speedy transmission of let­ters and parcels. But this system was first adopted for the purpose of regulating the clocks of the city on the pneumatic button principle, to obtain a uniformity of time all over Paris. A large number of capitalists became interested in the scheme, the company extended its operations aid the principal business of the company at present is the supplying of power to manu­factories in different parts of the city.

The power is transmitted from the works, which are situated just outside the city limits, in pipes through the city sewers. One advantage of this system is that there is no escape of steam in the factories where it is employed, and it does not vitiate the atmosphere in which the workmen spend so much of their lives. In fact, the escape of air into the rooms is beneficial, as it helps to cool and ventilate them.

On the other hand, the fact that up to the present time it has been found impos­sible to devise any means which would en­tirely obviate the continual leakage of air makes the commercial utility of the sys­tem doubtful. It has been found that in transmitting air for mining purposes 50 per cent, of the power is lost. Of course in transmitting the air to great distances through the ramifications of a vast city the loss of power by expansion is vastly greater. It is possible that the percentage of waste allowed by the company in Paris would frighten American capitalists, and make the adoption of the system here com­mercially impracticable. Indeed the sys­tem in Paris, although indorsed by gener­ous capital, is still in an experimental stage. ' <

j TRANSMISSION OF LETTERS. ] The system has conclusively proved that

the scheme is quite practicable physically, although the inevitable waste of power is diametrically opposed to the generally ac­cepted ideas of mechanical economics. Such a service is practicable if the public can afford to pay for it at such a rate as will insure a revenue sufficient to cover the loss of power. But that loss of power makes all the difference between profit and loss, and it is entirely possible that in New York at least compressed air will never be­come a serious rival to electricity.

'The pressure kept up throughout the system varies from seventy-five to eighty pounds, sufficient to tear letters or pack­ages all to tatters. It is strange that the transmission of letters should not have at­tracted the attention of the company if it could be done profitably, as for this pur­pose about three pounds or four pounds pressure is amply sufficient. And the fact that they have not made use of what seems such an advantageous system is an argu­ment in favor of the statement that the service the public demands must be so cheap that this system could not fill the re­quirements without a financial loss.

There are, however, other uses to which scientific ingenuity is beginning to apply compressed air. It is rumored in Paris that a company will shortly supply com­pressed air at such a low temperature that it will entirely take the place of ice in ho­tels and households. This is an excellent idea, and opens a new field for sensational novelists. By merely opening a valve in what is apparently an innocent heating apparatus the villain can freeze his victim to; death in his own bed chamber. This would have added another story to Edgar Allan'Poe's tales of mystery were he alive today.

The authorities of the United States navy have also been experimenting with coinpressed air for the discharge of heavy artillery, especially in connection with the new dynamite gun.—New York Tribune.

ONE OF JOHN BROWN'S SPEARS.

A Belle Preserved by One Who Helped Capture the Abolitionist.

Mr. A. B. Allen, residing at No. 1,224 New Jersey averitis, Washington, has in his possession an interesting relic of the raid of John Brown at Harper's Ferry in 1659. This is one of the spears used by Brown and his men whan they attempted the liberation of the slaves in that vicinity. The spear head is of iron, about eight inches in length, and ia like a two edged knife blade on a substantial socket, into which the staff—a piece of hickory six feet long—is fastened. Mr. ALian secured this relic, as well as a rifle, when, after Brown's capture, he and some others were pressed into service and placed on duty at the en­gine house to guard the abolitionist and those captured with him.

Mr. Allen had been employed by a citizen to capture two of his slaves who had run away. The only clew as to the direction the fugitives had taken was information that they had gone up the canal. At the .time of their departure there #&d been no tidings received here of Brown's inten­tions, although it was possible that some of the slaves had been privately notified of them. Mr. Allen came to the conclusion that the runaways might be headed off by taking the railroad, and took the train. "I went up by way of the Relay house and the main line," said Mr. Allen, "entirely oblivious of what was going on at the ferry. . "When we camA opposite the ferry on the Maryland side the train.was stopped. Then we learned by rumor of the fighting at the ferry. We could hear all kinds of rumors, and the train from the west had not been heard from. This vas the train run by Capt. Jack Phelps, who was well known here as one of the lessees of the Alexandria and Washington railroad. There were only twenty-five or thirty of us oh the train, and we remained on this aide all night. We heard during the night the movement of a train over the river, and finally Phelps' train came over. We then learned that Brown's men had stopped and held the train for some hours, but that the leader when he was informed that the United States mail was on the train al­lowed it to pass. We then learned that in the fighting in the town some had been killed and others wounded. Not knowing what force the insurgents had Ave did not cross the bridge, but remained on this side. ; "In the morning the marines arrived

from the barracks in this city and they at once proceeded to put down the insurrec­tion. A Capt. or Lieut. Russell, I be­lieve, was in command, and under his orders the marines were marched to the engine house, where Brown and a few of his men were. As we afterward ascer­tained, the insurgents could have killed every one of the marines had they been so disposed, for they had arms and ammuni­tion anfl. in the walls of the engine house had been cut loopholes on every side. The marines finding the door fastened secured a ladder, and used it as a ram bursting in the door. , •

:irWe—that is those of the passengers who had been pressed into service—having seen this from the bridge at once rushed dbwn. I remember that when I first saw John Brown he was lying with his head resting on the back of an upti^ned chair. I 'looked at him and-at once recognized him as a man I had seen before; in fact, I had seen him only a week or ten days previous­ly in 'Squire. Down's office. He had been wounded, I believe, in the shoulder, but if he suffered he did not show it in his coun­tenance or by words. He was attired in what appeared to be country goods, and with his long gray beard looked like a well-to-do, care-for-nothlng farmer. I was with him about three hours and a half, and heard enough to satisfy me that he Wjas a badly disappointed man, and a force of two to three hundred men he had ex­pected from Pennsylvania, had failed to materialize. In the afternoon the bodies of those of Brown's men who had been killed were removed, and a party went up on the heights to search for arms, but was then unsuccessful.

"The next party that went out was re­warded by finding two boxes of rifles and spears with ammunition. I was on guard when Governor Wise came up and had a talk with Brown and three or four other prisoners. The conversation between Brown and the governor lasted about an hour, and a half. Of course, recognizing Wise as the governor of the state, I stood offc some distance and did not listen to what was said. Brown I understood to tell the governor frankly what was his inten­tion, keeping nothing back, and I believe he expressed his disappointment that he had failed and that expected friends did not appear. Toward the close of the interview Brown demanded good treatment while a prisoner, and asked that his meals be sent him from the hotel. This the governor promised to attend to. As he left the engine housa the governor remarked to me: 'He is a most remarkable man.' As soon as some other troops arrived we were relieved and sent home."—Washington Star. .

Eaich different pencil brings into active play different muscles, and I never suffer from cramps, as might be the case if I used but one size pencil.

THE CENTER OF THE WORLD.

Points os the Earth's Surface Claimed to Be the Termini of the Globe's Axis." ' For several centuries different cities in

the Orient have contested with each other for the honor of being recognized as the mid spot of our planet. Quite recently a London geographer issued an elaborate work in which he tries to prove the British metropolis to be the center of the landed hemispheres. Jerusalem and Delphi, not­withstanding the fact that neither of them is situated on the equator, have for ages been the two great rivals in this mid spot discussion. William Simpson, of the Lon­don Society for Exploring Palestine, tells us that Herr Sphick has. sent home draw­ings of the Jerusalem center of the world. It exists, of course, in the Greek Church of the Holy Sepulcher, not in tlie Latin church.

The spot is identified less by physical science than by prophecy. It is written in the Psalms, "God is my king of old, work­ing salvation in the midst of' the earth." This can only refer to tho scenes of the passion and of the holy sepulcher, and the midst of the earth must therefore be found where the holy sepulcher is considered to be by the Greeks. The belief that the cen­ter is there or thereabouts is ancient, for it occurs in a work by St. Ephrem, quoted by John Gregory in reference to Noah's prayer. Here St. Ephrem says that Adam wp.s buried "in the middle of the earth." Homer calls Clypso's Island "the navel of the world, the center of all the seas." In iEschylus a certain .round stone in the temple of Delphi is the "navel," or center of the earth, and here does Orestes take-refuge when pursued by the Eumenides.

Pindar has anticipated iEschylus here, and after an era Pausanius (like Hen Schick) had the pleasure of seeing the only genuine central hub at Delphi. "It k made," he says, "of white stone, smooth and polished, and is the middle point of the whole world." Delos, as well as Delphi, claims to be one of the sacred places perforated by the earth's axle, and probably other cities, in all ages, have looked upon their sacred places as deserv­ing of the same distinction. There can be no closer analogy, however, than that which exists between the hall of stone in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jeru­salem and thei round, white stone at Delphi.—St. Louis Republic.;,;.- j( <rjv\

United'States navy on Mediter­ranean waters at the close of the last, century'and the beginning oi this ..witnessed many deeds of dar­ing by the brave seamen who had the young nation's honor; likewise the glory of her

heroes, in/their keeping.' There, on the Barbary co^st, began the careers of Stephen Decatur and Hull; Lawrence, and Charles Morris; Stewart and Macdonough. la the blockadc of the harbor of Tripoli, chiefly in 1804, the American navy per­formed deeds that commanded the admi­ration of a Nelson and of his compeers, and certainly no jaore glorious chance could befall a youthful navy than the ex­pedition of a beggarly thousand men in an improvised fleet against the desixv.-._t: lighting men of Tripoli, with ;; co mm end­ing coast and a powerful land and w&tci armament. When the war began in lSOii the American fleet, under Commodore Preble, included the frigates Constitution and Philadelphia, the brigs Argus and Siren, the schooners Nautilus and Vixen, and the Enterprise.

The Philadelphia was stranded ail the rocks in the harbor of Tripoli, where she chased an enemy's vessel and was captured intact in October, 1803. This left but -one good war frigate in the^fleet, and Commo­dore Preble laid many plans for the recapt­ure of his vessel, which had made a power ful addition to the force of the haughty Turkish pasha. About this time there fell into the American hands a Tripolitan ship, captured while bearing a load of slaves as a present from the pasha of Tripoli to his lord, the sultan, find this incident gave rise to two of the most heroic exploits of the campaign. For one thing this vessel, which had been a Ftench gunboat, was made a tender <©f the American fleet and fitly named the Intrepid. Through her the captured Philadelphia was destroyed in the hands of the Turks, and then she became the instrument of a most daring exploit, sailing as a fire ship, manned, among the enemy!s boats. The destruc­tion of the Philadelphia was accomplished on the 16th of February, Lieut. Stephen

^Decatur, then a young and gallant seaman, leading the attack- With him were Law­rence, Macdonough and the boy Morris, a midshipman 16 years old. The Tripolitan rig of the Intrepid enabled her to enter the harbor at night and approach the Phila­delphia so close that the boarders, led by Decatur and Morris, were on the deck o£ the captive before the iMpolitans scented the danger. In a few minutes the Phila­delphia was in flames, and the Intrepid with all her complement backed out of the harbor under a galling fire from the pasha's boats and forts.

After this the war on Tripoli was carried on by a series of heavy bombardments in July and August. The season of severe coast storms was approaching and the brave commander, finding his ammunition running low, determined on one grand and awful stroke to break the insolent pasha"* power on the Barbary coast. The Ameri can .bombardment had done serious injury to the enemy's batteries and forts, but the Tripolitan fleet rode defiant in the harbor. For its destruction was planned one oi those bold and startling deeds the men­tion of which makes one's blood run cold. It was to fit up the Intrepid as an infernal machine, put a crew upon her and sail hex into the midst of the pasha's fleet to ex­plode and scatter flaming fragments over the enemy's boats. For such an enterprise the utmost coolness, the sublimest daring on the part of the leaders and men are in dispensable. The wonder is that nerves sc cool and hearts so brave are found in the humble rank and file of a nation's plod­ding servitors.

The harbor of Tripoli was commanded by over a hundred guns on land, and more than a score of vessols mounting at least seventy guns rode on her waters, under the protection of the land batteries. An^in-trading vessel detected in such companj could not expect a better fate than being shot into atoms by the missiles of a hun­dred burning throats. Yet there were men willing to take the; , risk of a plunge into this.wii'irlpool. of danger, from which escape could not be hoped for unless by a miracle. •The o Goers were Lieuts. Richard Somers. Henry W;K>\vorth and Israel. Ten men from the th;'s' crews made up the force, and superstitious people ' may note thai there were thirteen souls in all.

The Intrepid was prepared for her des­perate cruise by making a magazine in the center of her hold and storing there 10C barrel* of gurijjowder. From this trv. ;a-aine a fire conducting tube led to an ad: joining room'tilled: tath Combustibles. Oil

the daring fireship left her companion boats and disappeared on her dangerous mission. She had crossed the rubicon and waa in the presence of the enemy, and as things were something startling must hap­pen very soon. The men on the American fleet watched with naked eye and with glas3 to get the faintest glimpse of the white canvass of the Intrepid as she rose and fell on the shifting waves, and the hardiest tar among them thrilled with in­tense feeling as he thought of the fates bound up with that mammoth charge of powder surrounded with explosives and combustibles. One shot striking the load­ed shells on her deck, one shell exploded in her hold, one spark reaching the powder train, and then

When she had disappeared from view and only the .unrelieved blaoknesa of night and the waters rewarded the anxious gazers suddenly one of those sharp, air splitting reports that single cannon make in a quiet, heavy atmosphere tore over the harbor, a flash lit up the sky like a far off meteor and the well trained sons of war knew that the enemy was alert. The re­port was a signal gun; the enemy's bat­teries would open and with a hundred mouths belch forth sheets and halls of fine where one spark was enough to ruin all that the gallant American navy held dear that moment in those distant waters of Barbary. A Tripolitan sentry stationed at the pasha's fleet had detected the stranger and promptly on the signal - all the cannon of the bouta, all the gunsa&f the shore i»t-terics and forts opened on the waters near­est the entrance. Still the Intrepid kept on steering straight for the Tripolitan flotilla.

As she iieared the anchorage ground oc­casional bursts of light from the volleys and from the bursting of shells revealed the fearless sail gliding steadily on as though running a race. The uproar df the Tripolitan cannonade was as terrible as it-was sudden. In such a time the very guns and all the inanimate elements seem to feel the passions of men and to do their work with the spiteful intensity of a hu­man being goaded to wrath by a danger sprung without warning. To go forward in a powder ship meeting such a reception, knowing that any instaut astraggHng bolt might hurl both ship and crew to destruc­tion, calls for a oouragp marvelous even in hearts inured to war. The gallant Somers had said that death was preferable to re­treat or capture, and he kept his word. He was to have sailed to within a certain distance of the pasha's boats, set his fuses and with his men and the two fast row-boats brought on the Intrepid—the fastest of the American fleet—abandon bet and

deck, immediately' over the gunpowder, there were placed over a hundred loaded shells. Bet^Veen the magazine and com­bustible room there, was a train of powder, and fuses properly arranged.

The vessel was ready on the 4th ol Septemberj " aind Lieut. Soriaers' orders were tp. Ite^str&ighf for tlbe anchorage ground wlifil-e ,tbe ptfsha'S': fleet- rendez­voused each night. On nearing the vessels he was to light his fuses and heading tht craft into the mid$t of. the enemy abandon her to her course, bringing off his men in two swift boats carried on the Intrepid. The gallant captain added to the pro­gramme that in case of the boarding of thf Intrepid by Tripolitians, before he had ful­filled his mission, he would blow her up with all on board. His threat was after­ward remembered with anxiety on the American decks. : . , , When night was well set in the Intrepid

What the brave commander determined upon in the emergency of the swlden dis­covery no one ever knew, for in the midst of the terrific cannonade there was a flash that lit the whole harbor and the war crowned hills for a second, and a report that swallowed up the thunders of the hundred cannon. The magazine had ex­ploded: what of the mission, what of the crew of the fire ship?

There was wild alarmin the pasha's lines, and deafening shrieks and cries. The ex­plosion was a surprise, and the half civil­ized minions of the Turk were terrified with alarm. The cannonade ceased instantly; darkness followed the bright and fitful flashes, and where a fiery pandemonium hu.l reigned there came blackness and mysterious silence. What would follow these startling eyents?

The three friendly ships, the Argus, Nautilus and Siren, remained for hours at the rocky entrance to the harbor watching and listening for the sound of the oars that would worn them Somers and his heroic band had come back to tell the tale. Time wort on and no sound. The mist and the night had thickened and the eye could not penetrate beyond the ships' lights. The splarJi of an oar, the clanking of a rowlock would end the mystery, but these sounds never came. The brave Deoatur, whose soul

lew only coolness in danger,'stood on the leek of a waiting vessel ss one petrifiefl,

so intense was his anxiety. Somers. had be&i his devoted companion in every en­gagement at Tripoli. Often some sjgn or sound brought hope to the watchers, but the delusion was vain. Night passed, a day r.ud another night. Not a shot was fired. The Tripolitians were mystified, the Americans were depressed with gloom.

In a few days storms drove Commodore Preble from the coast and operations were suspended until the spring of 1805. Then a new squadron under Commodore Rodgers arrived in the Mediterranean. Rodgers had a powerful force, and a land foroe co­operated and entered Tripoli from the south. The pasha now came to terms, for Preble, notwithstanding his failures, had shown that the American navy could para­lyze the commerce of Tripoli if it could not conquer her territory. Negotiations took place on Commodore Rodgers* flag­ship and peace was made. The officers and crew of the Captured frigate Phila­delphia had been lying in prison in Tripoli since the loss of their vessel, said from theih was gained knowledge of the certain fate of Somers and his men of the fire ship.

The morning after the explosion thir­teen bodies of American seamen drifted toto the harbor of Tripoli, and the captain of the Philadelphia was taken from his prison to .the wharves to identify them. They were scarred and burned beyond recognition, but the circumstance proved that the ill fated thirteen had clung to the Intrepid and met their death in the explo­sion. Whether that explosion was caused by shots from the Tripolitan guns, or by accident on board, or by the design of her commander is not known. Had Somers car­ried out his threat and blown her up to save her from boarders doubtless some evidence would have been gleaned from the Tripol­itan authorities. As it is their fate stands a mystery, but the sublimity of daring displayed by the men is a heritage for American seamen forever.

A Man on Wheels. Many a young man who frequently

adorns himself with knickerbockers, flan­nel shirts and caps and trundles over the city streets an"d rides a bicycle will be sur­prised to learn that there is a man in this town whose claims to being a wheelman throw his into the shade. This person in question has the unique distinction of living on wheels. In fact, wheels take the place of legs so far as he is concerned, for his lower limbs are missing. A legless man getting about town by swinging him­self along on his hands may be seen every now and then; but in the case of this par­ticular citizen a sort of framework has been fitted to his body.

It is equipped with four small wheels, and its owner propels himself along by means of his hands, in each of which he carries a sort of handle adapted to getting a firm hold on the pavement. He oame down Broadway a day or two ago, and received a great deal of attention frctm the gamins who frequent City Hall park. But his mis­fortune evidently had not soured his tem­per, for he joked with the youngsters and seemed to be in the best of humor as he slowiy rolled himself along. He had a stock of lead pencils and shoe strings, and appeared to be as well able to care for him­self as ore a good many men who go about this world on a full equipment of legs.— New York Times.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever. A New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due t<» the presence of living parasites in the lining membritnce of the no9e and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research however, has ptoved this to be h fact, and the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy has been formulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to throe simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.

N. B.—This treatment is not a snuff or anointment; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining this new treatment is sent on receipt of three cents in stamps to pav postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337 and 339 West King street, Toronto, Can­ada.—Christian Advocate

Theine Is the Poisonous Part of Tea. Theine is a near relative of cocaine, an

alkaloid with powerful anesthetic proper­ties. A little cocaine put into a throat which is red and inflamed will blanch it so as to appear absolutely bloodless, so great is its effect in producing con­traction of the blood vessels. Theine taken into the stomach produces a similar effect, only not quite so bad. It'causes contrac­tion of the blood vessels of the stomach, diminishes the secretions, paralyzes the nerves and lessens the activities of the stomach. The gastric juice is not poured .out in so large quantities and is less potent in its offices. So with the manufacture of peptones. The contraction of the blood vessels also prevents proper absorption.— Lecture by J. H. Kellogg, M. D.

The usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing patients can testify. A trustworthy med­ical writer says :—"Proper local treatment is positively necessary to success, but most of the remedies in general use by physicians afford but temporary benefit, A cure cannot be expected from snuffs, powders, douches and washes." Ely's Cream Balm is a remedy which combines the important requisites cf quick action, specific curative power with perfect safety and pleasantness to the patient.

New Yorkers are not easily taken aback, but a large number of those who happened io be in the neighborhood of the Tribune building the other d;iy were considerably surprised, to say the leiist. A ru:ui seated in a buggy, and driving what at first sight ap­peared to be a horse, drew up at the curb. The nuv-i's name, is Frank Fraundfelter, of

Pa., and he said the animal was a "buf?:;lo horsa." He had just bought it from Oscar Stemp'.er, iu Monroe county, Pa., who had LougLit the animal's mother (a out of a drove of Texas horses about twelve years ago. The " buffalo horse" is a gelding, 15 1-3 hands in height-and weighs 1,163 pounds. It is completely covered wiuu a coat resembling coarse buf­falo fur, ia ck.se curls eight inches long, ~;-ovviag equally thick and long on all por­tions of the body and legs.

In t.tie winter, Zur. Freundfelter said, the hair grows much longer. This long, curly buffalo hair gives the horse a remarkable appearance, the more so as the hair on the legs is as dense as any other part, making them look like four thick fur covered posts. In its gait it resembles a cow more than a horse. Nevertheless it is said to be a good roadster and has the pulling power of a mule. The shape of the animal's head is distinctly that of a buffalo, and in lieu of a mane there is an extra growth of brown hair. In its hindquarters, also, the horse closely resembles the buffalo. The owner said that neither he nor Mr. Stemp-ler ever heard of a similar animal.—New York Tribune.

r irieuil Huslxiiids who profess to love their

wives i;jte.:.--2ly sometimes play them a very mean trick when about to depart for that better land where there is "neither marrying nor giving in marriage." One might suppose that a tender spouse on the eve of being divorced by death from the partner of his joys and sorrows would be governed in the disposition of his wonWly goods by an earnest desire to render her earthly future a happy one. If he has a fortune to bequeath to her, why should he make a dog in the manger will, providing that she shall enjoy it only during her widowhood? What right has he to con­demn her to a life of loneliness, under pen­alty of pauperism, in case she shall marry again? Husbands about to shuffle' off this mortal coil, if you desire to be tenderly borne in mind by-your relicts don't deal with them after this contemptible fashion. —New York Ledger. !- ' •

Consress. f P# The House did nothing worthy of men-

* tion all last week. Great numbers of its members are at their homes attending to matters connected with a renomination. At the South and West particularly, the Farmers' Alliance is playina; sad havoc

"with the old political stagers, and the fences of many a notable and useful Con­gressman aie badly shattered.

In the Senate slight progress was made on the new tariff schedules. At the past

, and present rate of getting on with that bill, it will be November ere it is finally passed by both houses. One element of encouragement has materialized, bow-ever, in the Senate caucus agreement to let the Federal Elections Bill go over to next December. This will tend to stop the democratic efforts to filibuster aud delay the enactment of the tariff law. The democratic Senators are not so ser­iously opposed to the tariff bill and indeed many of them favor great numbers of the modifications in the proposed new law, but fearing the enactment of the Elections law they conspired to delay the tariff and all other bills in order to defeat it by the indirection of leaving no time between now and December for its consideration. At the republican caucus it was deemed wisest and best to forego the Elections bill, because it would be impossible to get its complicated machinery to working 3till

further depressing and eoibarrasing all kinds of manufacturing and commercial business affected by our vast import sys­tem. An improvement of the now stag­nant general business of the country was deemed of more importance in its influ­ence upon the return of republican mem­bers of Congress than all that the Elec­tions law could effect, were it in operation. The level headed business men of the country will approve the wisdom of our republican senators' sensible action in this matter. r

Saturday's session of the Senate was occupied by funeral eulogies over the dead Senator Beck, of Kentucky. He was one of the able, tenacious, wonder­fully stiong and combative men of that body. Indeed no member of the Senate was more unique in character than the late Mr, Beck, and as might be expected, ©f all the eulogies pronounced in his honor, none were more unique and crit­ically discriminative in its delineations of the sturdy, Scotch-born Senator, than that of the briliant Kansas Senator, Ingalls. His beautiful oration over his dead Sen­atorial friend and associate, though strong political opponent, is a rich addi­tion to the funereal literature of Congress and the country, and we regret that we have not space for its entire reproduction here. Mr. Blackburn made the opening address and Mr. Ingalls followed. Mr." Ingalls said that Mr. Beck's career could not be considered otherwise than as ex­traordinary and of singular and unusual distinction. In a great State, proud of its history, of the lineage of its illustrious families, of the houor of its heroic names, of the achievements of its warriors and statesmen, that stranger had surpassed the swiftest in the race of ambition aud the strongest in the race for supremacy.

Mr, Ingalls continued:—"He has de­parted, his term had not expired ; but his name has been stricken from the! rolls of the Senate. His credentials remain in its archives; but an honored successor sits unchallenged (in his place. He has nQ vote of voice; but the consideration of great measures .affecting the interests of every citizen of the republic is interrupted, with the concurrence and approval of all, tha£ the representatives of forty-two com­monwealths may rehearse the virtues and commemorate the career of an associate wha is beyond the reach of praise or censure, iu the kingdom of the dead. The right to live is, in human estimation, the most sacred, the most inviolable, the most inalienable. The joy of living in such a splendid and luminous day as this, is inconceivable. To exist is exultation, To live forever is our sublimest hope. Annihilation, extinction, and eternal death are the forebodings of despair. Nations die and races expire ; humanity itself is destined to extinction. The last man will perish, and the sun will rise upon an earth without an inhabitant. With the dis­appearance of man from the earth all traces of his existence will be lost. The palaces, towers, and temples he has reared, the institutions he has established, the cities he has builded, the books he has written, the creeds he has constructed, the philosophies he has formulated,—all science, art, literatuie, and knowledge— will be obliterated and engulfed in an empty and vacant oblivion. 'The great globe itself, yea, all which it inherited, shall dissolve, and, like this unsubstantial pageant, faded, leave no track behind.' There is an intelligence so vast and enduring that the flaming interval be­tween the birth and death of a universe is no more than the flash of fireflies above the meadows of summer; a colossal power by which these stupendous orbs are launched in the abyss like bubbles blown by a child in the morning sun, and. whose sense of justice and reason cannot be less potential than those immutable statutes that are the law of being to the creatures he has made, and which compel them to declare that, if the only object of creation is destruction, if inSaity is the theatre of an uninterrupted series of irreparable calamities, if the final cause of life is death, then time is an inexplicable tragedy and eternity an illogical and indefensible catastrophe.

"Mr. President, this obsequy is for the quick, and not for the dead. It is not an inconsolable lamentation.. It is a strain of triumph. It is an affirmation to those who survive that, as our departed asso­ciate, contemplating at the close of his life the monument of good deeds he had erected, 'more enduring than brass and loftier than the pyramids of kings,' might exclaim with the Roman poet, Non omnia mortarso, turning to the silent and unknown future, he could rely with just and reasonable confidence upon that most impressive and momentous assurance ever

delivered to the human race, 'He that believeth iu me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.'"

Mr. Vest related many traits of Mr, j Beck's character, and closed a feeling address with the statement that it could be said of Mr. Beck, as had been said of his favqrite poet, Burns, "Tolive in hearts you leave behind is not to die."

Tributes of affection, esteem, and regret were also paid by Messrs. Allison, Evarts, Vance, Hale, Morgan, Plumb, Hampton, Gibson, Coke, and McPherson.

Senator Hill'c Boom. Hon. E. J. Hill writes us expressing his

thanks for suggesting his name for Lieu­tenant-Governor upon the next state ticket, but declines to be considered, as he is al­together to happily situated to accept of a political position.- Ex-Senator Hiil pro­poses the name of Speaker John H. Perry as a suitable candidate.—Rockville Journal.

"'Twas ever thus from childhood's hour, we've seen our fondest hopes decay, we never loved a tree or flower, but 'twas the first to run away," or words to that effect. This is a disheartening "sit-down" on our cordial endorsement of the RECORD'S nomination of our friend Hill for Lieuten­ant-Governor on the next Republican state ticket. Well, it only carries us back to first principles and we shall now hang on to Hill as our candidate for Congress till the last plank tumbles from under. Of course, we know how it is. Hill's maid­enly modesty impels him to decline the proposed honor, and his magnanimity aud generosity of soul forces him to nams John H. Perry for the place. He should have made no such sacrifice of his own bright prospects. ;

And yet little else was to be expected when we consider the light in -which Senator Hill viewed his own boom. It was his wont to refer to it as a sort of Jonah's gourd, and for the edification of our readers who may not recall the story of Jonah and the gourd, we reproduce it:

"And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceedingly glad of the gourd.

"But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

"And it came to pass when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind ; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted and wished in him­self to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

"And God said to Jonah, Dost thou well tD be angry for the gourd ? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

"Then said the Lord,Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow ; which came up in a night and perished iu a night."

Senator Hill finds a parallel in the sud­denness of his boom's growth and the fact that he "neither labored for it nor made it grow," but here we must insist that the similarity ends; for who but Senator Hill himself prepared the worm that smote the gourd that was the boom his friends built? The gourd was a healthy one until it became worm-eaten — and it may not be dead yet.

Edwin Hoyt for Lieutenant-Governor. Ex-Senator Hill having voluntarily taken

himself off the slate as a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor on the Republican state ticket this fall, we.eagerly and most cordially endorse the suggestion of the Connecticut Farmer, in placing the name of EDWIN HOTT, of New Canaan, on the track for that important and highly hon­orable nomination. ME. HOYT has been a life-long, practical farmer, of the wide­awake, progressive sort. He has ability, aptitude, unblemished character, and well deserves the honor proposed by the organ of the Connecticut Farmers. He has represented his town in the Legislature and held many responsible positions in both his church and town. He has always beeu a Republican and a consistent temperance advocate.

In fact Mr. Hoyt is one of those men whose heart, purse and hands are always open to every good word and work. His nomination would give Fairfield county the representation on the state ticket, to which it is generally conceded that we are entitled, and prove a tower of Strength in the enthusiasm it would awaken and the votes it would ensure thejticket. No better selection could be made, and we sincerely hope to see the nomination of. the Connecticut Farmer carried out by the coming Republican State Convention. ^

Notes from the Sound. Nantucket dispatches announce the

drowning of Edward W. Kenevals, a prominent New York lawyer, who left Nantucket harbor Tuesday afternoon alone in a small sailboat. The boat was found several miles outside, and coutained Mr. Kenevals's hat and umbrella. The theory ia that Mr. Kenevals was hit on the head and knocked overboard by the flying boom. Mr. Kenevals was born in New Haven about thirty years ago. He entered Yale college, and was graduated in the class of'80.

The sloop yacht Hattic, of New York, struck on the New Haven breakwater dur­ing the heavy storm of Tuesday night,and was dashed to pieces on the rocks iu a few moments. The owner, Mr. Thomas Matthews, of Eastchester, and a party of friends were oti board. The entire party had barely time to leave the sinking yacht, and everything on board with the excep­tion of the few clothes which they had on was lost. The men were all precipitated into the water, and two, Gill and Prentice, came very near being drowned. The night was dark as pitch, the rain fell in torrents and the seas dashed with terrific force against the fast disappearing vessel, and the men who were battling for their lives in the waves which seemed to be about to hurl them to death against the stony wall or carry them backward to destruction in the deep sea beyond. -S .v..

j*U- S. Consul Newson. We had an exceedingly pleasant call on

Thursday last from our school days friend Major T. M. Newson, of St. Panl Minn He is the oldest editor in consecutive service in the State of Minnesota, having sold the Derby Journal, which he established after leaving school, way back early in the fifties, and went among the early pioneers to St. Paul and establishing there the first daily paper. He did gallant service in the war and reached the rank of Major, but has never ceased his editorial labors, till now^ when President Harrison and Secretary Blaine have selected him for United States Consul at Malaga, Spain. He sailed for his new post of official duty from New York on Saturday. The St. Paul Daily Dispatch gives the Major the following very just and eminently well deserved words of parting cheer:

MAJOTT NEWSOS'S DEPARTURE. The circumstances which have attended

the appointment of Maj. Thomas M. New-son, of this city, as consul to Malaga, are not only remarkable, but they are unique in the history of such appointments. There is no need at this time that the Dispatch should renew its reference to the generosity and kindliness which distinguished Major Newson among his fellow citizens, and have made him an object, not only of esteem and strong personal attachment OH the part of all who know him, but of marked personal affection.

While life' lias been one of the most in­dustrious and devoted citizens, whose serv­ices St. Paul has ever been the object of, he has been regarded above all things and at all times as a genial and lovable man, from whote relations with those around him h: a always been absent the element of strife, personal bitterness or ill will. His appoint­ment was made largely at the instance cf the members of the newspaper profession, of which he is one of the oldest and certainly one of the best beloved members in this city or State, and the appointment has car­ried pleasure and gratification to the minds of thousands of people outside of that pro­fession, as well as outside of politics. It is regarded as a peculiarly appropriate recog­nition, not only of the devotion of the man to the party whose principles he professes, but of the universal personal interest which prevails in this community and throughout the State, in the welfare, prosperity and happiness of Maj. Newson.

His departure for the scene of future labors is marked by so many expressions of popular good will as to present a remarkable contrast to the spirit in which the mass of men regard the conferring of political favors upon individuals. Of all those who have testified, in one way or another in the past few months, pleasure at the recognition ex­tended to Maj. Newson, there perhaps is not one who looks upon the happy circum­stance distinctively from the political point of view. They regard the honor done to Maj, Newson as being one peculiarly de­signed to express the universal regard in which he is held among his fellow citizens. Indeed, this feeling is not confined to St. Paul, and the testimonial given by the fire department of Minneapolis, the particulars of which will be found in another column, testifies eloquently to the fact that, notwith­standing his long residence in St. Paul, and his close identification with the interests cf St. Paul, Maj. Newson has the good will and affection of those who, at this particular juncture, might be least expected to pay tribute to the worth of a St. Paul man.

The major leaves his home attended by the best wishes of his fellow citizens, with­out regard whatever to politics, opinion or nationality. There is no division into Democrats and Republicans of those who are delighted with his appointment, and who wish that his official life may be characterized by as much genuine success and approval as have distinguished him in all the walks of life which lie has followed during his long residence in this State. The Dispatch is glad of an opportunity again to express its share in the universal feeling cf gratification and pleasure with which the appointment of Maj. Newson is regarded, and the feelings of solicitude which so gen­erally prevail, for his success and welfare in his new field of action.—Dispatch, Avg. 14.

To The C. W. P. A. The Conn. Weekly Press Association is

composed very largely of editors of papers printed in small country towns. And it would seem that if instead of meeting periodically in the large cities, they were to hold their meetings successively in the towns where the members reside, they would become better acquainted and ar­rive at a better understanding of one an­other's circumstances, environments, difficulties and advantages, and the useful­ness of the oaganization as a source of mutual help and co-operative method, would he greatly enhanced. Besides it would give to the resident member who of course would "chaperon" the distin­guished visitors, an opportunity to show his own community how big a gun he is among the journalistic fraternity of the state. There are some features of interest in every town represented in the associa­tion, which would be amusing, instructive and profitable to visitors, and they would go back on their established custom if they should neglect to vote cach meeting a success. Beckley should invite the C. W. P. A. to Canaan and show them the healthful air, the beautiful residences, the well kept grounds, the Canaan band, the excitement of "calf day," the board of trade and other distinguishing features of the happy land of milk and honey. Bolles could show them some interesting things in New Milford, including her hat factories, her beautiful park, her Gaeette office, her Nick Staub and her firemen's palatial quarters. Bross, of Ridgefleld could show them where ex-Governor Lounsbury lives, and a beautiful old town filled with wealthy residents, a poet, a hermit and no license. And so on around a circuit that would take in the whole state and arouse a greater variety of pleasurable emotions than to get together and chafe under the conventional restrictions of the haughty lords of a grand hotel, in a big and crowd­ed city where the advent of a distinguish­ed body of country, editors attracts no more attention than a hand-organ in summer.

A woman who is \veak, nervous and sleepless, and who. has cold hands and feet, cannot feel and act like a well Jper-son. Carter's Iron Pills equalize the cir­culation, remove nervousness, ana give strength and rest.

Memorial Donations. Rev. Dr. George Warner Nichols has

made a very handsome contribution to the Berkeley street chapel fund. He has left the expenditure cf his co'ntributioh to the discretion of the rector of the parish, stipulating only that it shall be in remem­brance of his father, Rev. Samuel Nichols, D. D., of Greenfield Hill.

Phillip Philipse, of the Philipse Hudson Manor, married for his second wife the widow of Dr. John Ogilvie, who was temporarily connected with St. Paul's church a little before the revolutionary war. A century ago Mrs. Ogilvie-Philipse united with Phillip Livingston, of the old Livingston Manor family, in a gift to the Norwalk parish. The rector of St. Paul's has received a pledge for a Livingston-Phil ipse memorial for the West avenue chapel, the precise character of which has not yet been decided upon, but it is to be presumed that the Norwalk history of the representatives of these two ancient fam­ilies will be properly preserved. •

Secretary Windom has lowered the debt by the amount of $15,000,000 and relieved the money stringency by his recent pur­chase, which meets the approval of all.

Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, and Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, differ about many thing*, but they agree that the members of the Senate, are, as a body, exceptionally temperate in the use of spirituous liquors.

Haine's Golden Specific. It can be given in a enp of tea or coffee without the knowledge of the person taking it, effecting a speedy and permanent cure, whether the patient is a mod­erate drinker or an alcoholic wreck.

A Land Lubber's 4 'Shore Dinner.' Cosgrove is one of Bailey's bright young

men on the staff of the Danbury Netos. But he has a failing for dreaming out railway incidents that never occurred, and publishing them. We have waited in vain for his account of his adventure at Roton Point.' He came down from Beantown a few days ago, found his way to the South Norwalk dock and inquired of a coal heaver where he could buy a first-class cabin passage ticket for Roton Point on the steamship City of Paris. The grimy shoveler grinned as he informed him that the City of Paris was not running up into the Norwalk Harbor this season, but the little steamer Medea was about to start for Roton and would land him there in about 15 minutes. Cosgrove looked dis­appointed, but hastened to the dock and followed some other passengers aboard the Medea, which immediately cast off and steamed down the harbor. Our ad­venturer scraped an acquaintance with one of the boat's stokers whom he con­fidentially informed that this was his "first voyage on the Atlantic Ocean" and he didn't know but lie might get seasick. The stoker reassured liifti, however, and Cosgrove brightened up and said he '.'guessed he'd go up stairs on the roof to take a'last glimpse of his native land and then keep his eyes peeled for icebergs and a school of whales," as he wanted to make an item of them to cable home to the paper. The mud digger which was lying off shore caused his eyes to bulge out with amazement and he remarked that it was the first man-of-war he ever saw. He was deeply engrossed in scanning the horizon when the boat slackened its speed, backed water, and with a bump and a lurch, was made fast to the Roton Point landings The Beantowner was amazed and disappointed when he learned that the voyage was over so soon, but scrambled ashore and made straight for Knubel's pavilion,where he seated himself at a table and beckoned for a waiter, to whom he said:—"Now my good fellow, I came from far inland for the express purpose of enjoying a shore dinner, for which 1 understand your establishment is famous. Now treat me well and. I'll recommend this place editoilally to our readers, and send you a copy of the paper." "Yes sah, jest write down your order, sab," replied the waiter as he handed the guest a blank tablet and pencil. Gentle reader, what do you sup­pose he wrote on that order sheet as his ideal of .a "shore dinner?" Here is a f a i t h f u l c o p y o f h i s o r d e r »

"1 plate Beans, (baked,) "1 sandwich, (Ham,) "3 hard Hens' eggs, - " "1 slice Watermelon, "1 tumbler full of spruce Beer." The waiter took the order to the kitchen

and the cook sent it to the proprietor After a brief delay the waiter returned with the same slip of paper which he handed to the hungry Cosgrove, who turned it over and read on the other side

"Young man, you have evidently struck the wrong place. This is neither a cattle show, nor a church festival. You can get this prescription compounded at the Danbury fair, (which is in session during the first week in October,) where you can also procure popcorn prize packages and red balloons."

Cosgrove clapped on his hat, tore up three paper napkins for spite, strode in­dignantly oHt of the pavilion^ and instead of waiting for the boat, walked all the way back to South Norwalk and sat pout ing in the depot for two hours and a half waiting for a train to return to Danbury.

ir-v Ueminiscential. On renewal of my subscription I thought

some of your readers would like to know what transpired fifty years ago in Norwalk, but there are very few who will; remember what I shall have to say. Ii knew about every male person, socially or by sight, in Norwalk. I do not call but four or five to mind, namely, James Mitchell, Chas. Clock, William Church, Alonzo Arnold and Mr. Campbell, now living. I remember enough those few years I lived in Norwalk to fill a column or more in the GazettK for One year. I will relate a few anecdotes first, and if you think they are worth publishing I will occasionally \£rite some more. I first went to housekeeping in Burrell's building, over, Johu A. Weed's drag store. Charles Isaacs kept a hardware store nearly oppos ite As Charley was of a social disposition, his store was quite a resort, particularly even­ings. Unqle Sam White generally made it his iieadquarters, and no-one could embellish a story better than he could, and they were generally about something that happened in Bethel, as he was formerly from that place. He said there was a woman who would visit some of her neighbors about every day. Her visits were never returned, because they could never find her at home, and she was always urging them to call on her. There were a number of ladies she had frequently visited, who got their work done about 11 o'clock an 1 started off, thinking they had trapped her. She was delighted to see them, and asked why they hadn't called before, etc. They spent a very pleasant afternoon. It was drawing towards night and there were no preparations for getting tea. They stayed until the last moment, and then called for their wraps. . She seemed to be taken by surprise. She could not think of having them go until they had taken tea with her, but that was out of the question as it was so late. "Well," she said, "if you won't stay won't you have some cake and cheese?" They said they would/ Then she said: "I am desperate sorry we haven't got auy!"

In those days traiybody's cellar was full of cider, he said in relating another story, and it was reported there was a member of the church that drank seven gallons of cider a day. The congregation thought that was drinking to excess, so they called a church meeting to talk over the matter. He was asked to attend, but he paid no attention to the invitation. At the meeting a committee of one was appointed to wait on him. The committee told the brother that he thought it was drinking too much to consume seven gallons a day, hut it was a very easy matter to reduce it by taking a pint a day less until you get it to six gallons, and then keep reducing until you get it to fire gallons, which ain't too much for anybody to drink. He told these stories for facts and would give the names of the parties. T*owbridge.

The "Spirit Bappers." Ed: Gazette:—The modern Spiritualists

claim a total membership throughout the civilized world of about twenty-five mil­lions, of which number eleven millions are accredited to this country. They assert that their doctrine of a future life is the only true one. They denounce Christian­ity as being a worthless superstition, and deny the existence of the God, Heaven, Satan and Hell of the Bible. Their prin­cipal agencies now in operation for prose­lyting purposes are the seances, their press organs and books, and a small army of more than two hundred male and fe­male lecturers, many of whom are engaged the entire season in advance. From Sep­tember to July these speakers travel throughout the land making hundreds of converts, and are well paid for their ser­vices. Among them are scientists, law­yers, doctors, judges, ex-christian minis­ters and eminent literary men and women, the profundity of whose wisdom it is claimed utterly precludes the possibility that they could become the dupes of any illusory religious hypothesis. Either their doctrine is true, or it is false. If true, the sooner such truth is demonstrat­ed to the world, the better for humanity in general. If it is false, it is high time it should be thoroughly exposed and forever relegated to the limbo of preceding dead and buried heresies. The writer having madea searching investigation of the sub­ject during seven years, has reached the conclusion that it is a monstrous fallacy, and he proposes to enter the lecture field the coming season for the purpose of com­batting that fallacy. I will discuss the subject under the auspices and chicfly for the benefit of the church, temperance, G. A* R., or other societies whenever called. Any society desiring to engage • my ser­vices can do so by addressing me at Nor­walk, Conn. C. V. Abnold.

At no time, on the alarm of fire being given, has the excitement been so great as it was on Saturday night, when it was re­ported to be Crofut & Knapp's factory, No. 2, that was on fire, but it proved to be a two story house near it. The damage to the house and its occupants were probably as great in proportion.

Our soldier boys have returned tanned and hardened by exposure, but in general appearance and demeanor far better than last year, and it was remarked by many an observer how few thought it was necessary to rush to the beer shops to libate or com­memorate their release from camp duty.

As was expected the "appeal" to Consist­ent temperance men and women from the Third party affiliates lias been received, and the "appeal is for all who voted for the constitutional amendment to vote for the prohibition candidates for office." The most cogent reason given for this was that their candidate for comptroller was their nominee for state senator in 1888 and he received 119 votes. ; , '

A local journal chroiiicles tlie event that only one drunk was before the city judge on Saturday. It 0ras remarkable, but there were drunks in the cars from the races who should have been taken there as soon as they alighted at the depot.

Newspapers for Kindling: Wood. The blunders of the greenhorn domestic

have long been travestied by the unve-racious paragrapher; but the incident which is here recited has the merits of truth and novelty. A young couple had just secured their, firsb-flat, and deemed themselves blest in the services of an Emerald maid, who, though abnormally green,' was truthful, willing and teachable. As one of the first complaints of the girl was that she didn't find enough newspapers for kindling pur­poses, the young couple ordered two dailies from the nearest stand. "So, now, Maria," said Mrs. , "you'will have newspapers enough."

Fully a week went by, and .nothing was seen of the papers by Mr. and Mrs. . At the.end of that time Maria presented to the young mistress a small slip of paper. "It is the bill, ma'am, brought by the nice little boy who supplies me ivery morning with the newspapers for kindling the fires.'' She had been using the papers the moment they arrived.—New York Tribune. -

Outrageous. Railroad employes are sometimes surly

in their ways, but it is not to be denied that they have to endure much stupid questioning. A stout man with a large bag and a distressed countenance came to a ticket seller's window one day and said excitedly:

"Tell me what time the 3:50 train leaves!"

The ticket seller looked at him with a fixed and solemn gaze a moment and then answered:

"It leaves at ten minutes of four." "Ten minutes of four!" exclaimed the

stout gentleman. "What a fraud these railroads are! Actually misleading people' five minutes in their time tables just for the fun of seeing them get left!"—Youth's Companion. ^

Uses for Coffee. It is asserted by men of high professional

ability that when the system needs a stim­ulant nothing equals a cup of fresh coffee. Those who desire to rescue the dipso­maniac from his cups will find no better substitute for spirits than strong, newly made coffee without milk or sugar. Two ounces of coffee, or one-eighth of a pound, to one pint of boiling water makes a first class beverage, but the water must be boil­ing, not merely hot. It is asserted that malaria and epidemics are avoided by

i those who drink a cup of hot coffee before venturing into the morning air. Burned on hot coals coffee^is a disinfectant for s sick room, and by some of the best physi-cians it is considered a specific in typhoid fever.—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Fruit Picking Stand. .a,.: An improved fruit picking stand is bging

used in .California. It is made with a tri­angular base to allow of its being support­ed on three wheels, by means of which it

i can. be more readily moved in and tout among the trees. The device has k strong central post, around which is placed a'tri-

^ angular platform which moves up and down, being controlled by a rachet wheel which works into one side of the post. On

' one side of the base is a short ladder for -convenience in reaching the platform, which can be easily raised or lowered at

-the pleasure of the fruit gatherer and fixed at any required height. The severalj parts

-j... can be disconnected for transportation or storage.—New York Commercial Adver­tiser.

A portly man was seated m one of the >. ' East river ferryboats the other day trying

the matches that the portlyman continued to light. As match after match went out the man got more exasperate*!, and the

Some Foreign Words. g One of the fair young girl graduates~\vhb

juite recently mapped out the destiny of ;he world in an essjiy entitled "A Dream )f the Future," has taken t*s writing so-:iety novels, and her litest effort, the nanuscript of which lies on the desk of ;be literary editor for review, is well up to ;he standard of current fiction." Especially s this so in the selection of foreign wordis ind phrases which abound in the story. It itrikes mc, however, that they are not al-vays up to the mark in t-he application.

For instance, ii is going a little too far, C think, to say tV t the rounded cheeks of Jessica, wore a beautiful sub rosa hue, and ,hat her hat draped in nom de plumes was uost becoming. I don't quite sec how the ittle bona fide could come i a wagging his ;a:l, or that the chicken# could be put inu> ilieir ooup d' ctat.

Salt for the Hair. There is an old belief .that salt water in­

jures the hair, and a delightful old lady Dnce explained the reason therefor.

"You see," she said, "the salt in the water is stronger than the hair ip your bead, and so the salt just draws the hair right out." Assuming this to bevtrue. that salt water will draw the hair out of the head when it isnt otherwise specially Inclined toward coming out, by good homoeopathic reasoning we come to the jonclusion that when the hair insists upon soming out of its own acoord a vigorous treating with salt and water will put a stop to it. Whether the reasoning be true yr not the fact is. Not all the tonics you Dan buy at the hairdresser's will do your hair half the good, if it manifests a tendency toward falling out, that a daily scalp bath of strong salt and water will.— New York Evening Sua.

i l Where the lifeboat Born. A monument to the lifeboat now stands

at South Shields, said to be the lifeboat's birthplace, fa 1789. the ship Advenittire was wrecked off ihe Tyne and a committee was formed to consider the matter of pro­viding a lifeboat. The. models submitted by Henry Greatbead, a boat builder, and by William Wouldhavei, a journeyman painter, were selected by the committee for use. Whether Would have or Great-head was the actual inventor is a moot point; but locally Wouldhave 4s looked upon as the author of the model. The names of both men are given on the memo­rial. The first obcasion on which a ship­wrecked crew was landed by means of a lifeboat was on June 30, 1790.—Chicago Herald. ; f .

I' The Story off Two Novels. Two friends of mine spent each of them

the best part of the year 1888 in writing and revising a novel apiece. Both stories were published by leading houses dur­ing the early part of 1889. They were well advertised, skillfully handled, and both novels are, according to the popular acceptance of the term, successful-r-that is, they have been widely written about, paragraphed in the press from one end of the countx-y to another, English editions have been printed of each, and to every literary person the names of both novels and authors are thoroughly familiar. Now, what have the authors received in hard cash for their year's work? I will tell you exactly: Of one, 1,700 oopies were sold; no royalty was paid on the first thousand to cover manufacture, etc., and upon the -re­maining 700 copies the author received the regular 10 per*cent. royalty.

The book sold for $1. The net revenue to the author was therefore 6TO. His type writer's bill was $61.50. Net profit, $8.50, and the book has stopped selling. The other author was a trifle more fortunate in that his novel reached a sale of 2;000, all but five copies. Like the first he received a 10 per cent, royalty only after the first thousand oopies. Unfortunately, be bought SO; many copies of his books for friends that, when his publisher's statement came, it showed acredit in his favor of just $39.50. Had he type written his manuscript, the BOfvel would have thrown him into debt! And these ju»3 but two of a score of in-jstanoes within my knowledge that I could cite.—Edward W. • Bok in Ladies' Home Journal. : n-.; \.i^

Relief for Hiccough. Hiccough is luost frequently a symptom

of stomach or abdominal disturbance, but it inay be purely nerve irritation inde­pendently of this. It may be produced by the presence of indigestible or highly spiced food in the stomach or by very warm foods or drinks. It may be slight or per­sistent. When occurring in typhoid fever, cholera, meningitis or peritonitis, it is a grave symptom. The mild attacks are re­lieved by holding the breath for as long as is consistent. Very warm applications on the lower portion of the back of the neck or over the diaphragm sometimes afford relief, and pressing hard upon one of the muscles of the neck which reaches from the inner border °f the upper portion of the first rib behind the "collar bone" up­ward and backward to the vertebra of the neck has been known to check this dis­tressing symptom.

Infants vomit with perfect ease; chil­dren make it no difficult task; but adults in general find it very, hard work. In many conditions it is well to induce vom­iting. This may be the case when it is de­sired to dislodge false membranes in croup or diphtlieretic deposits and ofi.T sub­stances from the air passages. A-;ain, if a poison has Iwen swallowed, frequently the l>cst thing that you can do is to induce vomiting at once. The quia^est way, when it can be dosg, is by forcing the fin­ger of the patient down his throat, gagging as it is sometimes termed. Tickling the throat with a feather will often produce vomiting.—Pittsburg Dispatch. • %- :r:;-

IlMjuiinaux Superstitions. Esquimaux arc believers in ghosts.

They also believe in the transmigration of souls, that spirits return in animals, {fcnds, rocks, ice and water, that they are evil, angry or good, as the elements may be favorable or unfavorable, and that they can be appeased by hoodoo rites, if the per­former is sufficiently versed in occult sciences Childless women, it is claimed, cannot return to the surfaoe of the earth after death. To change the wind, for in­stance, they chant, drum and howl against it, build fires, shoot against it, and, as a last?resource, fire the graves of the dead. Tribe# put hoodoos on each other by cere­monial dances and howling. The hoodoo of total destruction upon neighbors is the buiiding of a fire within sight of those coming under their displeasure. Tribal relations are severed by making a fire out­side and burning all ornaments or dis­guises used in ceremonial dances, such as rav<(i skins, eagle tails, deer horns and maslife. Tribes that are hoodooed answer by a return hoodoo, but with families and individuals it is different Outlawed by their tribe or relations, they become dis­couraged, hopeless and gloomy, and lit­erally "go off and die."—Sitka Letter. .

Another Um for tli« Phonograph. Mis. Abram Altman, of Buffalo, owns a

most ferocious looking bloodhound made of bronze. rThe animal was purchased froni a Boston woman, who had it made to do service as a burglar alarm. It is large, and in its diaphragm she had a phonograph set. She then borrowed a neighbor's dog to bark itito the. machine to load it. The baric did not exactly ..correspond with the appearance of the big bronze dog„but|she thought it would frighten burglars, for she said the dog's bark would be worse than; bis bite anyway. And so she setup her Ipasten image, with its full set of pho­nographic howls and patent insides, and had it connected with her room by wires and electric button, so that when the burg-lacs ma'4h their appearance she could just touch the button and the dog would do the rest., But the , burglars did not come, and when the old lady died the dog burglar alarm, as it was called, was shipped to this city;—Pittsburg Dispatch. ruainy..sit

A New Method of Treating1 Disease. Hospital Remedies.

NN IihI are they ? There is.a new depar­ture in the treatment of disease. It con­sists in the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe ft nd America', and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance the treatment pursued by special phj'sicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was ob­tained and prepared. Tl:e treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing catarrh was procured, and so on till these incomparable cures now include diseases of the lungs, kidneys,' female weakness, rheumatism and nervous debility.

This new method of "one remedy for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat­ent Medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin­ed more stomachs than alcohol. A cir­cular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt ot stamp trt pay postage by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re­liable agents wanted. , ? ,

know the name of that foreign looking <| gentleman sitting near the fire reading the s;; paper and smoking a cigar?"

Ornaments of the Swell Esquimaux. • 'At anytime from 10 to 23 years of age £ the male natives have their lower lips - pierced vinder each corner of the mouth for

labrets. When the incision is first made sharp pointed pieces of ivory are put in. After the wound heals the hole is gradu-ally stretched to half an inch in diameter. Some of the poorer natives wear labrets

. made from cannel coal, ivory, common gravel and glass stoppers obtained from ships, which they shape for the purpose. All who can obtain them have agate ones.

Some of the girls have their ears pierced just back of the lobe, where it is thinnest,

i have a string of beads, extending from one ;: earring to the other, suspended under the

throat. Tattooing the chin among the women is general, and it is kept up, so they say, because it has always been the custom. At the age of 6 one narrow per-

GALLANT MARCH OF A CALIFORNIA ARMY

OF IN 1862.

A Thrilling Adventure. 'if .1

[.Copyright by American Press Association.] ^ ~ MOXG the un­

^ .Union, volunteers " from southern

'California nearly a thousand miles across the clesefts of Arizona to Santa Fe, N. M., in the summer of 1862, is one of the

^^most remarkable and probably one cf the least known. The • ob­ject of the expedi­

tion., which was undertaken in a deisperate emergency and pushed with undaunted energy and daring, was to forestall the Confederates in the occupation of the southern route to the gold coast, and pre­vent the founding of a southwestern terri­tory under Confederate rule. The summer of 1861 had been an eventful one in the states, and the Union authorities had paid scant attention to affairs beyond the Mis­sissippi. As open rebellion never sleeps, and every malcontent is a soldier and an organizer to a certain degree, the Confed­erate cause grew day by day in the far away empire along the Rio Grande and the Gila. By the fii-st of August all the forts of southern New Mexibtf- were '-ih the hands of the Confederates, tod the co'minander,

, Col. John R. Baylor, by proclamation con­stituted $ie. Confederate territory of Ari-zpna.'. Sdon afterward Gen, H; H. Sibley arrived and assumed command of the Con­federate "Army of New Mexico" and set out to capture Fort Craig, the extreme south­erly pest of Union forces in the territory. About this time Gen. E. R. S. Canby was sent from Washington to organize the Union militia and make what defense he could of eastern New Mexico.

The Union- commander on the Pacific coast was Gen. H. G. Wright, and to him occurred the bold idea of striking the Ari­zona Confederates in the. r.ear by a.force organized in California; to marcji across the desert, recapture the government forts Vlong the southern border, reclaim all the region to the Union and open the old southern mail route between Santa Fe, New Mexico and Fort Yuma, Cal. The plan was immediately approved in Wash­ington and troops were designated to form the expedition. Col. James H. Carleton, of the First California volunteers, was chosen leader. The intention was to move during the winter, and thus spare the men and animals the exposure to the burning Colorado and Gila deserts, which in sum­mer are considered impassable. The dis­tance to be marched from the rendezvous on the coast to the Rio Grande was upward of 1,000 miles, and that nearly all through a regi»n of complete desolation. But an insurmountable obstacle to the winter march presented itself at once in the shape of unprecedented rains. Tie country vas flooded, open plains became quagmires, and cattle and horses were swallowed up without a chance of rescue. Vehicles of transportation could not move, and after long delay supplies were sent around by water through the gulf of California to Fort Yuma, and a depqt was established thereof # | § pi vj y 1

The volunteer# for the enterprise M ere California miners arid pioneers, and they came to the camps from all parts of the mining country on foot. When the rains

By the middle of April the column was ready to move eastward from Fort Yuma. The number, including em­ployes, was about" 1,500, and was organized as follows: First California infantry; Fifth California infantry, three companies; First California cavalry, five companies; Second California cavalry, one company; Battery A, Third United States artillery.

Tnilea -of' Frirt YumaT Gem" Sibley's in­structions on taking command of the Ari­zona Confederates had been to enlist volui}-teers promJ)tly in all? thslt region, to open negotiations with' the governors of Mexi­can territory for supplies, and as soon as the Union forces could be driven from New Mexico on the east the Confederates .would move toward the coast with the cry "On to San Francisco!"

This point gained, tlie Mexican states ad-joining' would- .enter the alliance/ and an outlet for^^Hcan. slavery and a supply of treasure wOUld bO'fensured to the south at one grand stroke. To prevent the consum­mation of thi3 there were but two forces at work, both under, extremely hazardous conditions! nk^ely^KColi Carletoh's strusf-gling column in the arid plains wBstjward, and Gen. pinbyfs gatrison3 pf th^Oiteion the Ifto l^rtaride, between abjey.'i^'d hfe base 8t "supplies in Texas. With his at-

f; 1. .

ing great suifering to men and animals. At Pima Villages the command halted to gather- some-growing crops for the aninials. and; on May 14 set out fOT Tucson. It is a pathetic* stbry that is "told in -the records of this expedition—how, day after day, day after day, in addition to the fatiguing march, a Ion® and often fruitless search was m,ade for grass and "Prater.

The advance reached Fort Breckenridge, on the Gila, May 18 and hoisted the Stars and Stripes, then pressed on to Tucson. The . Texan Confederates abandoned the place without a .struggle and Carleton waited for his straggling column to'close up. The battery of artillery was moved with difficulty. Water for the horses had to be borne in a tank, one holding GOO gal­lons having been placed on a truck. The rear of the column reached Tucson June 5, and Carleton proclaimed martial law in the territory. Supplies were bought across the Mexican lines and the command was refitted for the march to the Rio •Grande, arid Carleton sent forward an express to notify Gen. Canby, on the east, of his ap­proach. His messengers were Expressman John Jones, Sergt. Wheeling, of the First volunteers, and a Mexican guide. But the haunts of the murderous Apache Indians had been reached and the couriers wero promptly set upon. Sergt. Wheeling and the guide were killed, but Jones'escaped the savages only to fall into th^ hand'3 of the Confederates, who read his dispatches, learning of Carleton's expedition and his purposes. Upon this the Confederates de­termined to abandon the region, and Jones, by some means, got word to Canby, who sent out a force to Mesiila, the Confederate headquarters. ' 4?.'.'

On the 21st of June Col. E. E. EyRs'Tirst cavalry, with 140 men of his regiment, was sent by Carleton on a forced reconnaissance toward the Rio Grande. He reached Apache Pass on the 25th, and halted at the fine spring of water to refresh and graze the animals. The Indians would lie in wait at this pass and attack travelers, and Col. Eyre kept his party alert. Suddenly, while busy drawing water, shots were heard at some distance, and the camp was soon sur­rounded by Indians well armed. After a parley the chief consented to let the sol­diers go unmolested. It was found later that three of the men in the grazing fields had been killed and mutilated with lance and scalping knife, and after dark a volley was fired into the camp, killing a guard and wounding the surgeon. Eyre pressed on without further adventure, and on July 4 reached Fort Thorn (old Fort Floyd), above Mesilla, and across the river from Forts Fillmore and Bliss. This was the first time the Union flag had floated on the Rio Grande below Fort Craig, where Can-by was, since the Confederate occupancy.

On the 23d of July Col. Carleton left Tucson with the remainder of the column. At Apache Pass the Indians attempted to keep the troops from the sprang, and a fight ensued in which two volunteers were killed and two wounded. Several Indians were killed and the rest retreated. Carleton left a garrison of 100 men to hold the pass. On Aug. 10 the command reached Las Cruces, in Texas, opposite Mesilla, where Col. Eyre was, having been halted by orders from the eastern depart­ment. The active colonel had, however,

FRONT ELEVATION. This building was designed to meet the

requirements of a well to do farmer, and. as will be seen; the plan is in general out­lines almost that of a rectangle, which in itself involves a difficult problem to secure a picturesque effect. The first story con­tains a spacious reception hall, a feature quite essential in a modern design. At the loft of the reception hall is the parlor, sep­arated by sliding doors both from the hall and dining room at the back, so that the three rooms may all be thrown in one at pleasure. A large bay window projects from the side of the dining room with four windows, giving abundant light to the room, as well as adding an attractive feat­ure to the exterior of the building.

Col. Carleton's California column was preceded by two companies of infantry scouts and one of cavalry, and as .they ad­vanced the Confederate outposts retired, destroying all forage on the route. Between Fort Yuma and Pima Villages the way led

racross aii alkali desert, upon which the scorching sun's rays beat intensely, caus-

kfzts' ' 1 'SHOT, STABBED, AND SCALPED, occupied Mesilla, A. T., and Fort Bliss and Fort Fillmore,-in Texas. Oft the 22d the Union flag was raised over Fort Quit-tiian, on the Rio Grande, and also over Fort Davis, 140 miles in the interior. The last was performed by Capt. Shirland's company, First cavalry. Commttriication was now had with Gen. Canby, and the California column was included in his de­partment and supplied with funds. The long and anxious march was over and the purposes of the expedition b fid been qar:

tied out. In his report of the expeditionCoL Carle­

ton stated with soldierly modesty: "The southern overland mail route has been opened, and the military posts in Arizona, southern New Mexico and northwestern Texas have beeH occupied by troops com­posing the! column- from California. • -Thus far the instructions of the general com­manding the department of the Pacific have been carried out. , ' "

"It was no fault of the troops from Cali-'. fornia that the Confederate forces fled be­fore them. It is but just to say that their having thus lled is mainly to be attributed' to the gallantry of the - troops' unties pen.

-.Canby's coriimand. That they were hur­ried in their flight by the timely arrival of the advance guard of the California column there can be no doubt."

After commending the officers of the battery of artillery "for their incessant toil by day and night," the colonel added: "Theirs was the first battery that ever* crossed the desert. I am sure that be who crosses the next one will be considered] an; accomplished soldier." ,

Of the achievement of his men he wrote: "The march of tho column from California in the summer months across the great desert in the driest season that has ever., been knOwri for thirty years is a military achievement creditable to the soldiers of the American army; but it would not be just to attribute the success of tliis/march to any ability on my part. The success was -gained only by the high physical and moral energies of the peculiar class of officers and men who composed the column from Cali­fornia. With any other troops I should have failed."

In the light of disclosures, made since the war ended Col. Carleton's claims are found to be entirely too modest. Gen. Sibley cer­tainly intended to raise an army of south-: ern sympathizers in New Mexico, Colo­rado and California and supply it from Mexico. "The objective aim of the cam­paign," to use his own words, "was the conquest of California."

The successful march of a formidable body of men through.the heat of this ter­ritory under the difficulties encountered was a menace strong enough to paralyze Confederate recruiting and drive away all support from the native populace and the foreign allies. All in all the march was an unique and effective stroke, creditable to

, the mind that conceived it and to the de­voted men who carried it forward.

Our Bridgeport Letter.

' Judge Andrew Selleck has bought or ex-yK changed his place in Norwalk for the Allen

place in Stratford. This place is just north and within sight of the depot, and is one of the most elegant places in this section. The house is large and commodious, is finished in hard wood and has all the modern im­provements for heating, &c. The grounds are spacious, containing about two acres, and are surrounded by a handsome iron

' fence. The barn is in keeping with the % house, being also finished in hard wood.

The original cost of this place was $42,000. Judge Selleck has made a very excellent trade. Stratford is a suburb of this city and

^ a great many of Bridgeport's business men

, live there. Miss Minnie Browne has returned from

her extended vacation trip to friends in Westport and elsewhere.

The State of Minnesota has oordered from the Monumental Bronze Co., this city, an immense monument, 25 feet high, to be erected in the town of New Ulm, to com-memorate the battles and scenes of massacre

Of the Sioux Indian War of 1862. The monument will cost $3,000. A brief sketch, telling the story of the outbreak attack and burning of the town, as well as the horrible massacre of .the settlers, will be inscribed on the monument; a por­trait of Captain Charles E. Flandrau, who led the settlers, will also appear. Other scenes and incidents will be outlined. This firm's monuments are becoming known all over the world, they having recently re­ceived orders from Europe and other far

off countries. Hon. B. F. Hollister and wife have re­

turned from Saratoga. One day this week Miss Mattie Welsh,

the youngest daughter of William Welsh, of Colorado avenue, was dangerously bitten by a bulldog, owned by Juan- DeGonzaley, the West End barber. The little girl is a general favorite in the neighborhood, and considerable anxiety is felt on account of her injuries. The wounds were cauterized.

Last Saturday morning the steamer Elm City left this city, having on board about 450 excursionists, from the different towns along the Housatonic Kailroad. They en-loyed a pleasant trip up the Hudson River, giving a most extensive and beautiful #view of the Pallisades. The excursion was un­der the management of the Housatonic Railroad Company, and was one of much

pleasure and enjoyment. This (Monday) morning another train

heavily loaded with excursionists left for Saratoga for a four days' trip. This excur­sion is also, under the management of the Housatonic Road, and they are becoming quite popular, and large numbers are avail­ing themselves of the opportunity to visit Saratoga at such a moderate rate. Vice-President and General Manager Stevenson^ and his able assistants, Supt. Lyon and Ticket Agent Perrin, are kept busy by these numerous excursions. In addition to their regular trains and these through trains to Saratoga and elsewhere, many special trains are run to Parlor Rock for the accom­modation of Sunday Schools and social societies. Among the excursionists this morning to Saratoga were Judge Kelsey, Mr. G. W. Fairchild and family, Dr. and Mrs. S. J. Dawson, F. W. Judson, A. M. Wooster and wife and Mrs. Dr. C. H. Bill and sisters Two full car loads from New Haven joined the excursion at our depot.

Dr. Eugene Bouton has commenced his duties as Superintendent of our public

school, to fill the vacancy caused by H. M. Harrington resigned. Mr. Harrington has engaged in business in New York City, having bought out a large agency there for the procuring of teachers for public and

private schools. ' , , Mr. Pearl H.Sperry, one of ou'r oldest

and most respected citizens, died on Monday last. He was one of our most prominent builders, and built many of our most sub. stantialAuildings in ? the early days of

^illness of two weeks. Age 82 years. Mrs. >Dyer was a noble Christian woman and had been a member of the North Church for a-

! great many years. Her first pastor was the : Rev. Elijah Waterman. She has been an

• active Christian worker, not only in her •'own church, but amongst the poor and the

.: unfortunate. She was n kind friend and > neighbor, as the writer can testify, having lived next -neighbor to her for over thirty

i years. Her death has brought sorrow to i i many hearts..I Her funeral" was largely at-

tsnded this (Monday) afternoon, from her late residence »In the absence of the pastor

j of the North Church, Rev. E. K. Holden, (*7 of the Olivet Church, officiated. He made

apoplexy, in her 70th year, on Tuesday evening, 19th, surptised everybody by its suddenness. She had through life been so uniformly well that a termination of her life in that way had never been dreamed of. ^eatt'ei in the fish and fruit store, which Mr. Allen keeps nearly oppo­site the post office, while he drove to South Norwalk and back, slu> was over, taken at Hbout 5 p. m.

Aftep an illness of over wight weeks Mr. John Hubbell passed away. Thursday afternoon, at his home on Riverside avenue, aged 57 year*. He was prostrated by an accident, by which a piece of timber he was handling fell, bruising one of his ankles. It developed blood poisoning. Though a great sufferer he bore his inflic­tion heroically, maintaining courage even when his nearest friends and some phy­sicians said there was no hope, and never uttered a word of complaint. He leaves a wife, two children, an aged mother and four brothers—Captain James E. Hubbell, of Saugatuck ; Lewis, Nelson and William Hubbell, of Norwalk—and a sister to mourn his loss. There is not a citizen in town standing higher in tJw respect and regard of men than Mr. Hflbbell. He was energetic, faithful, thotopitful, thrifty, always relying on his own efforts, and ha leaves substantial evidence of his success in life. He was a man of honesty and truth, glad of others success while seek­ing his own, and there was no guile either in his heart or speech. His funeral was held Sunday afternoon from Cbri6t church, of which he had been a life long member. Rev. James E. Coley, assisted by Rev. D. M. Ell wood, officiated, and the burial was in the family plot at Christ church cemetery. Messrs. G. S. Adams, Charles Wilson, O. I. Jones and W. H. Marvin, all vestrymen of the church, acting as

bearers. Mr. Walter Howe, of New York, who

On Fiiday last James Quigly, aged 14 years, lost his life under peculiar circum­stances. He resided with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Quigly, at Greens Farms. In the Sound, a short distance southwest of the Phipps place, there are a number of rocks whi<& are bare at low water. Young Quigly thought it would be fun to sit on the largest of the rocks and catch black fishl Accordingly, with lines and bait in his pocket, he swam out to the rock, climbed upon it, and had a fine time in the sun and sea breeze. He caught more or less fish, ant} ffom the shore was watched with envy by his' com­panions, who were fully- as smart as he,

><it who had not his daring and courage. When the tide rose as if to reproach him for encroaching ou its prerogative, Quigly started to return, diving into the water. He had proceeded but a short distance, when he threw up his hands and sank from sight. Meu with a boat went to the spot, but too late to be of any aid further than to seek and recover the body, which was done a few hours later. The funeral was held Monday morning from Assump­t i o n c h u r c h . "

Skin Diseases. Itching, Burning, Burning, Scaly, Crusted,

Pimply and and Blotchy Cured by the Cuticura Remedies.

A CLERGYMAN'S TESTIMONIAL. About two years ago I was attacked with an

inflammatory disease on my face (petyriasis), which was very troublesome, being extremely Itchy and painful, giving rise to the production oI small bran-like scales. My general health was affected by it I used the Cuticura Resolv­ent, Cuticura, and Cuticura Soap according to directions, and experienced a change from the very first day; they worked wonderfully, and by their continued use for about five months I was completely cured. 1 have unbounded faith in the Cuticura Remedies. I regard the Cuticura Resolvent as the very best blood purifier; a trial will convince any one. The Cuticura Soap is the best in the market, andfcheap at twice its present price. I shall use no other for the toilet and bath. With the prevalence of Bkin diseases among us as a people (and they are the most difficult to deal with), I regard the Cuticura Remedies of more Important and intrinsic value to the world than any other medicine now before the public. I am, with deep gratitude,

(Rev.) WM. CREELMAN, York Corner, Me.

Of great interest to those who will be benefitted by the new Pension Law,

M. L. BYINGT0N, Pension and Claim Attorney,

708 E. CAPITOL STREFT, WASHINGTON. D. C.

With several years of experience in the claim business at the National Capital, and being thoroughly familiar with methods of practice before the Pension Bureau, I am in a position to render valuable aid to Soldiers and Sailors, their widows and minor children, and dependent parents, who avail themselves of my services. The new law provides a pension for dependent parents at $12 per month, regardless of their pecuniary circumstances at time of the death of their son, provided he left neither widow or minor children.

It also allows a pension of from $6 to $12 per month to all who served ninety days in the Military or Naval service during the late war, who are by reason of physical or mental disability unable to earn their support by manual labor. Under this section of the law many who are now receiving only $2 or $4 per month could easily obtain an increase. **

Widows of those who served as above for a period of nine­ty days or more, who are dependent upon their own labor for support, will receive, upon submittamse of proper evidence, $8 per month, and $2.per month for each minor child under sixteen (16) years of age, and this regardless of the fact whether death was the result of army service or not. ^

•X No fee is allowed me unless I am successful, and then the fee is paid by the Pension Agent from the pension granted. ^ "First come first served'' and applications should be early made. - i--fipi v . "**- ' "
