past, and do much, very much, towards se-
curing its ascendancy for the four years to
come. Every man who loves his party and
its principles, who loves liberty and rizes
the terrible cost in treasure and blood, of
its perpetuity, will not fail to come out and
stand forth for their defence at the ballot-
box on Monday next. Was there ever a
more impudent assumption than that of the
routed, defeated,defunct democracy, inviting
Republicans to the support of their ticket?
It is the old story of the spider’s invitation
to the fly. As was well said at the Friday
night meeting, no political party in the
world had earned so sublime and glorious
a place in history. It is true, and shall we,
now, when-the triumph is ours and the re-
cord made, vainly throw all away and join
those who, all through the war clamored for
disunion. and the perpetuity of slavery?
Not a bit of it. The demands of duty to-
day are as imperative as ever before. The
green graves of the dead boys in every cem-
etery at the North, and on all the battle-
fields of the South cry out against any luke-
warmness or indifi‘erencc.
The opportunity is ours to. share with
New Hampshire in the same glorious praises
and hono.s given her all over the land.
Freemen of Connecticut, shall we not do it?
Men of Norwalk, will you not see to it that
not one note is lost to our glorious cause?
That this year, as last year, the wide-awake
and determined Republican workers of this
town shall show to the Stateiand the nation
that the utmost has been done to swell the
glorious Republican victory that surely
awaits us on Monday next!

The “heathen Chinee” is nowhere in com-
parison with a New York lawyer, and law
in the- Metropolis does not rise to the dignity
of a force, and justice is a stranger to the
city courts. Now here is poor Oakey Hall,
intensely anxious for a speedy trial of his
case and exerting himself prodigiously to
bring out the truth and the whole truth, and
in steps law and 'fate to constantly hinder
the trial, and Oakey is in a fair way of never
getting his deserts. Once the trial has been
stopped by death, and now, again, it‘ is
stopped, by one judge ruling against another,
and the whole thing is in such a legal-mud-
dle that the lawyers themselves are all in a
snarl. In the meantime, Oakey “still lives”
in peace, and may he die in Greece.

The rare works of art in painting and

Leavitt’s auction rooms on Broadway. They
will be on exhibition till the 161k of April,
when they will be offered at public auction.
One cannot contemplate this result without
a feeling of inexpressible sadness, yet under.

wisest course for the family to pursue. The

The citizens of Norwalk will have this
week a season of fun never before witness-
ed here. For the first time in the history of
amusements in this town, a real genuine
pantomime company it ill occupy the boards,
it being no less than the celebrated Marti-
nettiRavel Pantomime Ballet and Gymnas-
tic tronp. Those two laughable and amus-
ing pantomimes Jocko and Pat-a-cake will
be produced with all the original scenery
and effects. An exchange says: The whole
cast of “Jocko” is good and the play is in-
tensely amusing, as is alsothe famous panto-
mime founded upon the nursery yhyme “Pat.
a~cake Pat-a-cake baker’s man,” in which
occurs the startling illusion of shooting the
Harlequin to pieces and having him come
to life again. The “filling" between these
two pieces consists of some excellent singing,
dancing, gymnastics, and some most ex-
quisite performances on the Banjo by Mr.
Wm. A. Huntley, the classic banjo artist of
America. . .
The troupe is running over with talent,
and-whether we look at clown, pantaloon,
harlequin, columbine,premiers or coryphees,
we find an unvarying grade of excellence
marks the abilities (f them all.” It is a
first-rate firstclass show and well worth
seeing." Secure your seats early. Grand

The Temperance Movement.
Gov. Buckingham, like most other safegwis c
and life-long temperance men, looks upon
this third party temperance movement as
certain to result in injury to the cause. The
Republican party, as a party, may not have
done all it might or should have done in
temperance lcgislation,bnt it has done all
that has been done and more than public
sentiment seems likely to sustain. This has
been done, to, in spite of the determined
hostility and fierce opposition of the demo-
crats, into whose hands, our misguided
friends as we think are surely playing. No
one doubts the sincerity of the movement,
but wnen all our oldest and most earnest
temperance men like Senator Buckingham,
Dr. Charles Jewett, and others deem their
present action a fatal mistake, should it not
cause them to reconsider their hasty deter-
mination. -
The Conn. Sunday School Convention
was held at New London last week, being
opened Tuesday evening with a deeply inter-
esting and instructive address by.Rev. John
Hall, D. D., of New York, upon “The struc:
ture of the New Testament." '
’Wednesday morning the regular work of
the convention was commenced by appoint-
ing Rev. H. Clay Trumbull,President. The
morning was devoted to hearing the annual
reports from the State Central Committee,
the County Secretaries, and the State Secre-
tary, and an address by the President upon
“The Field in Prospect." Wednesday p.
in. four meetings were held simultaneously,
one of pastors and superintendents and
those in the habit of conducting teachers
meetings ; one of teachers of Bible classes;
one of teachers of intermediate‘ classes, and
one of teachers of infant classes, at each of
which} one'hour was spent in considering
the uniform lesson for March -24th.
At half past three the Convention again
met as a whole, when reports from the con-
ductors of these four meetings were given,
and discussions on the subject “how to
teach." with criticisms upon the manner in
which this lesson had been taught by these
four teachers, occupied the remainder of the
afternoon. ' I
Wednesday evening the convention was
addresse by Rev. E.’ L. Clark, of New
Haven on “The eye an aid in Teaching,”
and Rev. J. H. Vincent, D. D.,of New York,
on “The Home, the Pulpit and the School.
Thursday a. m. Rev. Horace James, of
Greenwich, and Rev. M. M. G. Dana, of Nor-
wich, open ed the discussion on “The relation
of the pastor to the school,” and Mr. Walk-
ley, of Plantsville, and Hon. H. P. Havens,
of New London, spoke on “The Superinten-
dent and his work.”. After these opening
addresses, a free discussion was had on each
subject in three minute speeches. The
morning session closed with a resume by the
President of what had been said on both
subjects. '
Thursday p. m. opened with a very inter-
esting ' address by A. 0. Van Lennet, Esq.,
of New York, on “Marriage in the east,”
illustrated by diagrams. Then addresaes by
Rev. P. S. Evans, ofWillimantic, and Eben
Shute, Esq., of Boston,von “The Teacher and
his wor ," followed by a spicy discussion
upon the same topic. Then two-minute
speeches on “what I have learned at this
convention." This was an exceedingly
sprightly and lively exercise, twenty-eight
persons speaking in forty-five minutes.
Then' a resume of the convention-by the
Prciiidentfollowed by the customary resolu-
tions of thanks, after which the convention
adjourned.
The convention was in every respect a
success ; attendance large,and every session
interesting and profitable. This success was
largely attributable to the activity and un-
tiring zeal of J. E. SearIes, Jr., of New
Haven, the Chairman of State Central Com-
mittee. We saw present from Norwalk and
vicinity, Revs. Dunning, Gates. Hetrick,
Walker and Merwin, with F. A. Ferris,

Lear Yuan IN Cannon—On Sunday
evening. in one of our Episcopal churches,
a young man and a young woman were ob-
served in close conversation, and from their
manner it was evident that their conversa-
tion was of a very leasant character. A
gentleman who sat c ose behind them being
disturbed from devotions bv their move-
ments, 'and who was unable to resume
them again, deemed it expedient "to watch
or book in which. one underlined some
words to form a question, whilst the other
did the same to' form an answer. A pause
ensued,‘atter which the young lady, who
for a moment had been evidently in deep
thought rapid] ‘turned over the leaves of
the pm or boo to the service ofmatrimony,
which avingIrIeacbed she ointed out the
all important‘qncstion,I—-“ ilt than have

'Ni’iby In Connecticut.
The same “wicked” Democratic influence
which induced the. famous Kentucky X
IRoads’Postmaster to come here and “lectur”
before our Y. M. C. A., composed as it is and
supported as it is, by such overwhelming
Republican membership and contributions,
has again succeeded-in introducing him up-
on the “lectur’”platform of our State. On
this occasion hc’assumed _ to' take a hand in
our election exercises, and lend a helping
hand to the “Brethren.” His experiences,
as narrated by himself, will befound on our
outside. '
OUR MEETING.
One of the finest political meetings ever
convened in Norwalk, (and we have had
many good ones) was that of Friday night.
Our own Senator, fresh from his labors in
the Senate, in greatly improved health and
spirits,-as robust as of you, gave us a can-
did revicw of the past three years of Repub-
lican administration 'at Washington, and
vindicatedits claim to the continued confi-
dence and support of theigood and true men
of Connecticut.
Senator Wilson followed in a somewhat
similar line of argumentation, and made an
appeal to the working men in the audience
they will long remember.‘ He stated his
early poverty and. life of hard, manual labor
on the farm, on the shoemaksr's bench, and
asserted his own experiences as justifying
the interest he had always felt for the labor-
ing man,.be be white or black, Irish, Ger-
man or American. He stated, with a pathos
that touched the heart, that he had known
in his childhood what it was to ask a poor
mother for bread. She had none to give
her hungry child. Mr. Wilson spoke for
over an hour in vindication of the Republi-
can cause. In nll the grand events of the
past twglve years, said he, the Democratic
party has had no part or lot in the glorious
history made by the loyal,Re'publican party.
Since the cover had been stripped from the
Tammany thieves in New York, the Repub-
lican administration of Gen. Grant had sent
five thieves to the Albany penitentiary,
while the Democracy had sent the “Boss" to
Albany, too, but not to the penitentiary, but
to the State Senate by 12,000 Democratic
majority! This ”was the difference. The
Republicdus-‘liumfi'flur’dfid ‘im‘prisoipd
their thieves,“ while the Democrats elected
theirs to office. ' He closed with an earnest
appeal to stand by the Republican candle
dates and Republican principles here in
Nurwalk.
Mr.' Patrick Donan, in the Lexington
Caucasian, thus smashes one of the graven
images of the Democratic party:
“A few of our lilliputian,’ country-jakey
contemporaries of the run -or-bust . type of
Democracy, are chuckling like frantically
pleased guinea-pigs over the recent episto-
ary ofi'ort of one George H. Pendleton.
And who is he, or what is he, that he should
set himself as a law 'ver to the Democratic
Israeli Alily-han ed millionaire—a nice,
polished, tonguey gentleman—who gives
Iroyal entertainments in his palatial Porko-
politian mansion, and who has no more
feelings or interests in common with the
hard- sled, tax ground yeomanry of the
counirfv than has the Mandarin of China, or.
the ikado of Japan A sweet-scented
and elegant aristocrat, a flowery spouter
who has been defeated for governor of his
own State, defeated for cougressin his own
district, defeated for everything he has
dared aspire to for years—who couldn't,
today, carry his own ward of Hogopolis
for constable. In case his idiotic advice is
accepted, and a national Democratic ticket
is nominated, how will his. Bucke e . rov-
ince, Ohio, go, with her immovab e 8 ,000

foolishly exposed his previous suspicious,
and ifhis wife doesn’t experiment on him
the next time he is sick, she must be a very

Perfection In Art.
We have a “strong weakness" for good
pictures, and we have frequently spoken
with enthusiasm of those turned out by
Whitney. But he has just given us a pic-
ture of Rev. Mr. Goodsell, which we do not
hesitate to assert has never been excelled since
the discovery of the photographic art, This
picture is a study, a wonder, and being a
“thing of beauty,” should be “a joy forever”
to all who have ever knew the “parson.”
There is a beaming, bursting (so to speak)
expression to this picture we have never
seen equalled. It is well worth a trip to the
gallery to look upon, and will repay any
one with the least interest in perfection of
an. . .

‘ c projector aha leaderflis a Young French--
man, who was born in New Orleans how-
ever, named Octave Pavy. M. Pavy has
secured the protection of our government.
and the approval of the American Geogra ph-
ical Society. His theory is that -the open
polar sea has an outlet into the more south-
ern waters, and that the outlet is in the
direction ofBehring’s Straits. He proposes
to sail from San Francisco in May, in a
chartered vessel, for Petropauiovski the
capital of Kamschatka, on the north side of
the Bay ofAvatcha. He' has secured the
good will of the Russian government, and
has thus insured himself of good treatment
in Kamschatka. Having procured supplies
of all kinds, he will reembark for Cape
Taken, on the northeastern coast of Siberia,
observing on the way the direction, force,
and temperature of the ocean currents for
future guidance. At Cape Takan the vessel
will be abandoned and future explorations
will be conducted by means of an india—
rubber raft, on the principle of the Nonpnreil,
which crossed the Atlantic some time ago.
The Bulletin describes this little vessel as
composed of four keeled-shaped cylinders,
fastened together on the decks by wooden
slats, to which the necessary masts and
rigging are attached. The raft is sloop
rigged. It is so small thatvit occupies very
little room—in fact, M. Pavy carries about
his pack in a barrel, and the same raft
will carry ten thousand pounds of freight
besides the crew. This craft will be headed
for the land which was discoverd‘. by Cap-
tain Long, the New Redford Whaler, which
land will be crossed in sledges, the raft being
transported in small compass. If the open
sea is discovered beyond he will launch the
little craft in the water on the other side
and endeavor to sail around to Greenland-
and Spitzbergen. M. Pavy makes this ex»
pedition at his own expense, and it is need-
less to say, when he is risking so much, that
he is entirely sanguine of success. There is
a novelty and‘plausibility about his plans
that will add much to the interest with
which their progress is awaltched by the
world. ' .
O
.I It seems impossible to get the name “Bing-
hamton, N. ," into an Ohio newspaper.
We have laboriously printed it, in the manu-
script, and the compositor always thinks the
p must have been left out by accident, and
he puts it “Binghampton.” Then we have
tried writing it with a p, and aflerwards
strike out“ the p in the most obtrusive man-
ner possible—but the intelligent compositor
thinks this is the result of a fit of emotional
insanity, and the word appears regularly
as before, “Binghampton.” Then we have
corrected it in the proofiwith the vigorous
delta, which ,is the sign in “languages for
the proof-reader's “take 0*” and it comes
up like Bango’s ghost, (only'the other end
first,) as “ 'nghamdton.” It is no use.
You can’t convince any printer that the
name of the respectable old party the town
was called for was Bingham, and not Bing-
hamp, any more than you can convince
him that there is no such word as aerial, and
thatinstead of beluga diphthong the first
two vowels are separate syllables, thus—a e-
ri-al. We give it up. Put it terial, and
aaronaut, and cotemporary, and reportarial
and newspaporial, and Idiotic Asylum, and
Binghampton. But if we had our way,
we would hang the first idiotic reportorial
cotemporary that an s aerial newspapori—
ally, or send him to ingbampton in-a bal-
loon without any wronaut to steer the ma-
chine. Nobody but a natural-born fool
would say “newspaporial” any way.
Such a word ought to burst the gullet of any
man who uses it—Oht'o State Journal.

which was rejected by the conductor on the
§round that although it. was good from
cw Haven to New York. it did not pass

pointsnind was put ofl’ the train by force,
receiving such injury as to effect his health.
He sued the New ork and New Haven

railroad obtained a new trial, and were
beaten again. On exception to the ruling
ofthc judge, the defendant obtained a third
trial, which terminated in a verdict for Mr.
Coleman for $3,200 damages.

Prince Edward Islandhas heretofore been
an independent province with a parliament
of its own. Strong efforts have been made
to induce the people to consent to joining
the new Dominion, but without success.
The people of the island could see no advan-
tages likely to accrue to them by the con-
federation to warrant them in giving up
their own government and becoming an in-
significant part of a large Dominion with the
capitol in Canada, and also dreade’d in-
creased taxation without corresponding ben-
efits. The question came up. in the local
parliament again on the 15th inst, and was
decided in favor of annexation by one vote.
The decision was received by strong indig-
nation by the people, and the police had to
be called in to clear the room before busi-
trees could be resumed. If the question is
submitted to the people they will undoubt-
edly refuse to ratify. New Foundland also
objects to being swallowed up in the con-
federscy. I - fl '

The bill repealing the Massachusetts law
allowing towns and cities by vote to permit
the sale of ale and lager beer was rejected
in the lower house of the legislature last
week by a close vote—102 to 103—so that,-
for the present at least, lovers of a mild tip-
ple cgn still have their malt beverages, and
will not be compelled to put up» with sour
cider. In the meantime, while vain efforts
are being made to abolish the traffic in
liquor by legal enactments, the moral sua-
sion people have started an enterprise in
Boston which is better calculated to keep
young men from becoming drunkards than
all the laws ever placed upon the statue
books. We refer to what is known as the
Holly tree cofi‘ee rooms, which have grown
rapidly in public favor since they were
first instituted at the Hub. In the manage-
ment of these rooms the idea is to dispense'
with liquor, and to have excellent tea and
cofi'ee. Once a month, evening parties of la-
dies and workingwomen meet tbgether for
social enjoyment. All drinking shops in
the vicinity of these places are invariably
closed sooner or later. Those who habitu-
oally visit the coffee-rooms find for their use,
gratis, copies ofthc daily papers. 4’ Au ex-
cellent dinner is provided on Christmas, and
all the workingwomen have the use of a
good library, and the opportunity of occupy-
ing decent beds. The best of coffee is to be
enjoyed there at the-lowest possible price,
and in addition to this; tea, first-class bread
and butter, and s‘oup; meat, chowder, and
pics, are to be had, excellent in quality and
at cheap rates - -

The Chicago Tribune has a new version
of the hatchet story: “Washington’s par-
ents were very particular as ,to little
Georgia‘s playfellows,'nsver allowing any
but his little cousins or nephew's 'to visrt
him. One of these playfellows, and in some
way connected, was one of the Custis boys.
Among other cognomens bestowed upon
this youth at his christening was that of
ing together in the orchard on the day when
the histofic cherr tree was disfigured.
The parental Washington came along and
was very much enraged to see his favorite
tree cut and backed in a very bungling
manner. So he said to Georgie, ‘Come
here you rascal! Who cut this cherry tree
of mine?’ Georgie gazed for a ‘moment at
the riding-whip in the old gentleman’s hand,
and then replied; ‘Father, I can not tell a
lie—Ike out ith'th my little hatchet.’ ”
