Shed for many a weary month.
Mrs. Lorrimer was delighted with the
success of her plan. And Rachel, after all,
found that there was as much bigotry in
the cut of a garment as in counting 'beads.
' But though she mingled in the world as
Paul Graham’s wife, and graced his house,
there was always a certaingrave simplicity,

WW0 had a touch of Winter last week
in good earnest. Most of the time the ther-
mometer indicated zero, or thereabonts, and
snow fell in profusion. The sleiglling is
now excellent, with fair prospects of contin-
uance for some days, at least.
ago The democracy, after a severe strug-
gle last Tuesday, succeeded in nominating
John Kendrick, of Waterbury, over Mr. In-
gersoll, of New Haven, for Congress in the
Second district. Mr. Kendrick is the one
‘ who succeeded in defeating Mr. Babcock,
two years ago, and now must expect to have
the poisoned chalice commended to his own
lips. Friend Babeoek, with others of the
New Haven elite will be've'ry likely to “go
for. that heathen Chinee, in a way quite
frightful to see.” Kendrick, however, is a
worker, and will not be defeated without a
struggle. He was formerly an Old line,
Harry Clay Whig, then glided to the Amer-
ican Party, and was for some time the editor
of the Know Nothing organ published at
. Waterbury. To his push and energy were
greatly due the sweep made through the
State by that restrictive organization,

OP...—
WTIIO speciality of the last week at
Washington seems to have been the passage
of the Senate bill repealing the income tax,
and the unveiling of Vinnie Rham’s statue
of Lincoln in the Capitol Rotunda. The
nation’s best orators were present as was
also the President, Vice-President, Supreme
Court Judges, Cabinet Ministers, Senators,
and Members. Mr. Lincoln’s best and host
intimate friends became eloquent, and even
lachrymose over the'chisseled marble, and
indeed all who have seen it, pronounce it a
triumph of the seulptor’s art. That this
fragile “little girl,” as she is sometimes
called, fired by an enthusiasni' so irrepressi-
ble that she has been willing to brave all
sorts" Of unfriendly criticisms from the cans-
tic pcnS—of her sisters, only—should eclipse
the mastgi'fpieees Of old and practiced at;
tists, goes t6 prove again that genius is born
rather than acquired. She seems, indeed,
to have been on “Adam at her birth” in
sculpture, and it is grateful to. see the
purest and noblest 'inen " in Congress, and
the most cultivated 'e'ritics in art, thus in-
teresting themselves to give her, this well-
deserved popular recognitiOli of'her truly
marvelous powers. But even in this hour
of her triumph, the same and fate, which
'seems to have shadowed her whole life,
has‘again overtaken her. A brother, by
marriage, who-had aided in keeping to
gether the invalid 'parents and dependent
children, was last week stricken’down with
apoplexy, and expired, without warning,
and the poor girl went to the capitol to re-
[North do strengthen and stimulate these un-
_ now IT IS.
Of course, we would not hold all the dcmi
ocrats in Connecticut responsible for what
their fire-eating political allies 'of the South
are so constantly and so foolishly doing, but
it isvtrue and just to claim that the action
and the victories of the Democracy in the
repentant rebel democrats of the South,in
their treasonable conduct. If the democrat:
ey of the North only had the courage. and
the patriotism to rebuke such exhibitions as
the following, but very few of them would
offend the nation’s sense of loyalty:
Brannon, Jan. 19.—The Senate to-day, by an
almost strict party vote. agprofirlated $600 to pur-
chase apicture of Gen. R0 ert . Lee; and by the
same vote refused an appropriation for the purchase
of a picture of Gen. George H. Thomas.
—-There was a time when Virginia proudly
voted a sword to George H. Thomas, but
that was before he raised his parricidal arm
aoainst the venerable mother who bore him.
e hail this refusal of the Senate of Virgin-
ia to bestow honors upon a recreant rene-
ade as one of the‘best signs of the times.
I will be a sad day for the South when our
people learn to honor the men who betrayed
them, and blend the names of traitors with
the honored and cherished names of those
who suffered and died in our defense. We
honor the Senate of Virginia for the courage
and manlincss which would not do honor to
a renegade.—— Vicksburg Herald.
Both of these soldiers were sons of Vir-
ginia. One attained the highest eminence
in his labors to save the Union; the other,
in his efforts to destrOy it. And this is the
way the democrats in the Legislature of
Virginia put themselves upon the record be-
fore the country. Shall their conduct find
an endorsement in the votes of the honest
democrats of Connecticut in the election so
soon to transpire? We think not.

W We rejoice to learn that a laundry is

Indeed, there should be one at both centres
of the place, as there is abundant business
foi' two first-class laundries. We know of a.
gentleman in a neighboring city who has
made a comfortable fortune by making a
specialty of doing family washing, and doing
it, too, better and cheaper than it can be done
in the family, even though. hired help he
kept. But there are scores of families who
would be glad 'to dispense with “help” if
they could have their week’s wash well and
reasonably done, and others, who keep help,
would rather send it out to the laundry than
to have the trouble and vexation of it about
the house. With improved machinery, the
work can be done cheaper at the laundry
than at home, and if the proprietors are
smart they will make this apparent to fami-
lies.

all'could not have the same pay. The-com:

many instances, fall below the actual ex-

any increase and the poor marshalls will
have to content themselves with their very

THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Republican State Convention, held at
New Haven, last Wednesday, was unusual-
ly full despite the storm, and we never ob-
. served so'large a proportion of the elderly
and solid men of the party as were to be
seen among the delegates. The heads and
termination was generally expressed to
have the voters all brought out next April.
At half-past ten A. M. Bartlett-Bent, chair-
man of the State Central Committee, called
the convention to order. Hon. David Gal-
chairman, and Messrs. Cowell, of Waterbu-
ry, and Hall, of Willimantic, . temporary
secretaries. Messrs. J. C. Goodrich, H. B.
Wilcox, J. G. Perkins, Chas. E. Plumb, J.
H. Tallman, N. T. Baldwin, J. A. Stanton
and W. Dorance were appointed committee

The committee on permanent organiza-.
tion, composel of one member fi-om each
Senatorial District, was elected as follows:
J. E. Howard, J. S. Allen,Willis Dewey, A.
J. Beers, F. A. Kingsbury, W. Lines, W. H.
Hough, Henry Bill, w. A. Fuller, W. n.

The speech of Gen. Hawley, upon taking
the chair, was enthusiastic and eloquent,
and stirred every heart with the inspirations
of victory. He alluded most forcibly to the
terrible record made by the Democracy for
the past ten years. In its cncouragements
given to the rebellion ; resulting in-the open-
ing and prolongation of the war, and the
burdening of the people with debt, and
worse than all, rearing the clods over the
graves of over two hundred thousand dead
soldier boys. On the other hand the Re
publican party had resisted theDemocratic—
slaveholders’rebellipn, fought the war to a
glOrious conclusion, saved the nation and
set free more than four millions of bond-
mcn. So that to-day, wherever the stars
and stripes wave over American soil, every
man made in the image of his creator, is a
free man.

J nwnu. was renominated ‘for Governor by
acclamation, with much enthusiam. The
balance of the State ticket, run last year,
was also renominated by acclamation.
The Committee on Resolutions then re-
ported the following resolutions:
Rerolccd, That we gladly renew our alle-
lance to the princieaea and policy of the
epublican party. . e challenge the histo-
ry of political organizations to parallel the
record of its ten years of national rule. A
gigantic rebellion has been suppressed; four
millions of slaves set free; armies of a mil-
lion raised and then disbanded; labormade
free and honorable; free homesteads offered
to all settlers; the Pacific railroad built;
universal liber and equal civil and politi-
cal ri hts, for e first time secured by con-
slitutlonal amendment; the States that broke
their connections reconstructed and restored;
taxation repeatedly reduced, the last reduc-
tion being eighty millions a 'year; the na-
tional debt reatl reduced; two hundred
millions oft e re uctlon taking place under
President Grant; credit raised at home and
abroad; the price of. gold hrought steadily
downward; the revenues vigilantly collect-
ed and honestly disbursed; the perfect citi-
zenship of all adopted citizens for the first
time protected by settling the doctrine of
expatriation; the Monroe doctrine vindicat.
ed in the case of the .French invasion of
Mexico; peace mamtamed and the national
character kept In the highest respect
throughout the world. We know of no way
of judging of the future but by the past.
The Republican party has never made a
pledge to liberty and union which it has not
redeemed; from beginning to end it has
met the desperate opposition of the Demo-
cratic party. ‘
Resolved, That the republican party can
be trusted in the future as in the cat, to
deal wisely and honestly with the nances,
taxation and currency, its opponents show-
ing, by their Congressronal votes, and vari-
ous conventions, that the favor measures
sure, if adopted, to result In repudiationand
bankru toy. We renew our approval of
legislat on seeklng resumption of specie
payment, the permanent establishment of a
sound currency, and a tariff sufficient for
revenue, carefully adapted to the tax-payers
of all classes, and promoting and cncoura -
ing the great industrial interests of this
country. - '
Resolved, That it is the duty of the gov-
ernment to enforce the strictest economy in
all its expenditures; and t_o refuse all up-
propriations, direct or Indirect, which may
be solicited in aid of private schemes and en-
terprises.
Resolved, That the Republican majority
in Congress, by its courage in confrontin
and its energy in handling the difllcu t
questions which it has encountered, and
by the wisdom and thoroughness of the
measures whereby it has thus‘far- disposed
of those questions, has deserved well of the
Republic. ‘
Reached, That President Grant by his en-
his patriotism, his direction anh vigor
his unwavering fidelity to the
of action,
Thecommittee on permanent organiza;
I
principles of the Republican party, his just
deference to
of the poop and by his firmness in the
discharge of is high duties has earned the
confidence of the nation; that underhis ad-
ministration we ma be assured that so far
as he can accomplis such a result, the laws
will be faithfully executed at home and the
honor of the Republic fully maintianed
abroad; and that we especially approve the
calm and temperate spirit in which he has
made manifest his determination to secure
a settlement of the Alabama question and
the fishery question in such a manner as to
maintain peace and exact justice at the‘same
lme.
Resolved, That we shall heartily approve
such a reform in the civil 'service in such
tenure of office in the subordinate depart-
ments of the government as may be most
likely to secure competent and faithful
tl'filcers in every branch of the administra-
lon. -
Resolved, That the legislation of this
State, for the past fifteen ears,i ouorable
to the Republican party, nwhos hands it
has steadily been. The war was energeti-
cally sustained, and in peace the taxes have
been annually reduced, large payments an-
nual] made upon the State debt, the de-
man sof educational and humane institu-
tionshbcrally met, and the character of the
Stat'e In all res ects sustained.-
WHEREAS, he statistics of this com-
monwealth show that intemperance, vio-
lence and crime are alarmingly on the in-
crease, therefore,
Resolved, That it is the duty of the legis-
lature, as guardians of the public‘weal,
may be necessary to give efficacy to existing
laws, so that the peace, security and health
of the community may be protected.
Resolved, That general education is essen-
tial alike to the preservation and prosperity
or the Republic—the source -Of thrift in
peace and power in war, the cheapest de-
fence of the nation, the wisest police agency,
seeking the prevenbn rather than the pun-
ishment of crime; that the wealth of the
State consists in its men—in this'measure of
mind; that education tends to economy,
thrift and virtue, while ignorance means
waste and weakness, if not pauperism and
crime; that it is the duty of the State to
secure a good common school education
free to the children of all classes, the poor
as well as the rich; that we commend the
owing harmony and co-operation between
abor and capital, and the recent liberality
children of the State, and congratulate the
people. on the encouraging progress of this
great Interest. .
Resolved, That we pledge to the gentle-
men whom we have this day nominated,
our hearty support; and we cordiall com-
mend them as worthy to receive t e suf-
frages of the freemen of this State.
Hon. H. B. Harrison, of New Haven, ad-
dressed the convention ’at its close, in an
able; and logical speech, vindicating the
claims of the Republican party to the sup-
port of every lover of liberty and true friend
of his cOuntry.
.In fine, the convention was an enthusias-
tic success, and we shall most gravely mis.
take if it do not carry us to victory.

Gentlemcnz—I feel that I owe you a debt of grati-
tude for the great reliefI have experienced from the
use of your Dr. J. BLAkaAn’s Ex'rnAcr. I have
long been a sufferer from some distressing disease of
the Kidneys, and could obtain no relief or comfort
from anything till I heard of this, and gave it. a trial,
although I have employed doctors at. home and
abroad and taken every remedy advertised or recom-
mended to cure the complaint.
My case was a stubborn one and I began to des-
pair of ever getting hotter when I saw your adver-
tisement in the Almanac, and went to the drug store
and ot a box of it, My limbs and feet were then
terri ly swollen, and so soft and do by that. the
pressure of my fin ers in the flesh would cave a hole
as if I had made 1 e same in putty. Mv back pained
me terribly night and day; my appetite was gone -
my tongue burned; my face pale and waxen, undI
began to beliov as m friends told me, that I was
“soon goln no or.” commenced the use of the
Extract, alt ougb I had but little confidence in it I
had tried so many things; and have now taken it or
about one month, and used up two boxes, and I am
so relieved and improved by its use that I feel like a
new man. The swelling in my limbs has nearly all
gone, and the flesh is much more as it on ht to be;
my appetite is better; I feel stronger, and am get-
tingisome color in my face again; and If I keep as
we] as I have I am confident I soon shall be a well ‘
man. lfthiz I: not encouraging to an invalid, what

benefit from it that I have. Yours, &c.,
