Mr. Greeley has succeeded in getting the
endorsement and adoption of himself as the
candidate of the Democracy at Baltimore.
Henceforth his main support is to be looked _
for,not’from straight Republicans, but from
straight Democrats. Nothing so strange or
comical has ever occurred in our partizan
history, and yet it was an evidence of re-
turning political sagacity for the Democracy
to ignore all their life-long teachings, their
life-long antagonism and abuse of Mr.
Greeley, and gulp him down as they did,
without a grimace. The wiser and better
portions of that party saw nothing but con-
tinued defeat in the old. organization and
candidates; In the desperate hope for a res-
toration to power, they eagerly used Mr,
Greeley and the T nbtme as a shroud within
which to bury all their past. It can thus be
understood how they will unite and give
him an earnest and hearty_support. But it
is not so easy to see how Republicans, how-
ever much they may honor the life and
work of Horace Greeley, can readily join in
efforts to reinstate in power and place as
necessity would compel, the ' old rebel
Democracy it has been our life work to an-
~tngonise and defeat.
We are not of those who can view this
contest and the chances of our success, as
entirely , without hazards. . There has got
to be systematic, wise and eflicient effort
made, or the Deinocraey, not Mr. Greeley
alone, by this bit of clever strategy, are
likely to again get‘ the government of the
country into their hands. In this view it
ceases to be apersonal question or a question
of individual preference. To think, as many
Republicans do, that this campaign is going
to run itself, and Gen. Grant be re-elccted
without a struggle. is, to our mind, the most
insane of absurdities. A laugh and gufi‘aw
at the grotesqueness and utter and absolute
ridicullusness of the Democracy’s position
in thf mpaign, will not elect the nominees
of the epublican party. Whoever thinks
he can annihilate Mr. Greeley—a man who
has exerted more personal influence, and
whose opinions have been more potential
than that of any fifty men living forthe past
twenty years—by an effort to “write him
down an ass,” only makes a stupendbus ass
of himself. Belittle or misreprcpresent the
fact as any may, Mr. Greeley is a man of
greabintellectual powers,—a man of indom-
itable energy and untiring industry, and
none but idots will fold their hands and
think they can whistle him down the wind.
It is the supreme of shallowness to think
any absurdity or stultification will deter the
Democratic party from uniting upon him
and giviugauns'ted, a vigorous and power-
ful support; To this great party, now united
and stimulated with a fresh lust for power,
will be found many unthinking Republicans,
careless of results, who mistakenly suppose
the contest is only between two pronounced
Republicans, and is a question of personal
choice, rather‘ than one of principle, and
thus combined, we have an opposion which
cannot be laughed down or trifled out of the
- campaign. Earnest effort alone can defeat it.
Regimental Encampment.
The 4th Regiment Conn. N. G.,Col.H. W.
R.’detpcomprising companies of Fairfleld
and, ‘Litchfleld counties, are to go into
. regimental encampment the first week in
September, probably at-th‘e ‘old camping F
ground at Gregory’s Point.
According to our new law only two regi-
ments can go into camp in any one year, and
Gen. Craufurd has designated the Third and
Fourth ‘KRegiments as the ones to eneamp
this Fall. ‘ .

By request of a number of old subscribers
' wethis week commence the republication
of the above-named local story, which was
originally published in the GAZETTE in the
year 1846. It was written by a young pro-
fessional gentleman of this place, who has
since displayed great ability in other fields,
and who will probably be surprised to see
this bantling of his youthful fancy again in
print. The sketches of local scenery a quar-'
ter of a century ago will be of special interest.
WWe are deeply pained to announce
the very low condition of Charles Isaacs,
Esq. He has been gradually sinking for
sometime past, and is ayparently very near
the close of life. or him, we may gratefully
say, he was the best friend and counselor
we ever'had. May the good Father gild his
pathway to the tomb with that joy and
peace which cometh only from above.

M‘ Gov. B. Gratz Brown made a speech
at New Haven, on Thursday evening, in re-
sponse to a serenade, in which he predicted
various things, chief among which were
Gen. Grant’s defeat and his own and Mr.
Greeley’s triumphant election. He says
there is a “ tidal wave” rising in the west
which will .sweep the country. He esti-
mates Mr. Greeley to have the largest brain
in the country He said nothing specially
significant.

. W We are delighted to learn that our'
triendMaples enjoyed himself at the Fourth
of July dinner. Those who observed him
at the time expressed the same opinion, and
remarked his performance as something
Herculean. It appears that lemonade was
the rock on which he split. .How he got so
much is amystery, but all was owing, no
doubt, to his happy and unrestrained way
of helping himself to everything within
reach.

A VILLAGE LAUNDRY.
Now that we have water introduced into
our village, pure and soft, and abundant in
quantity, our next greatest need is a good,
first-class village laundry. To any party
competent to the undertaking, a sure for-
tune awaits. There is a laundry man in
Providence, R. I., who contracts to do fami-
ly washing by the month or by the year, at
rates lower and in a manner better than it
can be done in the house, even where ser—
vents are kept. For man and wife, for in-
stance, this establishment contracts for $500
per month, or at $2.50 per month for each
member of a family, and the proprietor has
made quite a competence at it in the course
.of only a few years. For transient work
his rates are of course higher, but his estab-
lishment is conducted on two special ideas:
first, that his work shall be well and prompt-
ly done, and next, that it shall be done at
so moderate a cost that families will not un-
dergo the vexation and bother of the week-
ly wash at their own homes. Such an es-
tablishmeut would get the work of full half
the families in Norwalk, we confidently be-
lievc.

the Burnside Guards, Capt. Crowe, and by
the Mayor and citizens. The arrangements
for their reception and entertainment are
now being made. One or more collations
will probably be provided by the citizens,

crating his arm and hand in a frightful man-

. Sensible Advice.
Mr. Colfax, in his Fourth of July remarks
at Kalamazoo, laid down a very good
practical platform, in his enumeration .of'
things to be avoided, which are at present
perils of the government. He named :—
First, overtradiugabroad, now settled Zby
government, state and railroad bonds, ulti-
mately hoWever, to be paid principal and
interest in American gold—and insisted
that nations like individuals should live
within their means.
of and oinv into debt abroad for too many
railroac s. PI‘hird,increasiug the state and
municipal debt, . rendering local taxation
far more burdensome than the national,
notwithstanding our heavy war debt.
Fourth; increasing the power of great cor-
porations, which should be wisely limited.
expressl as to “watering” stock, except by
express egislativc authority, as it rendered
higher charges on the public necessary to
make dividends. Fifth, that corruption,
whenever clearly discovered, in national,
state or municipal government should be
sternly punished as a greater crime than
private embezzlement or theft. Sixth, the-
expansion of'area, if it brings with it unwill-
ing people of national hostilities, and unless,
like marriage, with the hearty assent of
both peoples. Seventh, war, except as a
last resort, and he meant by that not the
avenging of some fancied wrong, but the
preservation of the national life,- 'as‘ blood-
shed is justified by the preservation of indi-
vidual life. He said that many regarded
centralization as one of the national perils;
but that depended on what the speaker
meant by centralization. For himself, he
believed that a government was only worth
its necessary cost and burden to. the
governed, when it signified and insured
protection t6 its people—protection abroad
and protection at home, protection of its
existence from domestic or foreign foes.
, Mr. Colfax’s reference to the rapid in-
crease.of local taxation is worthy the
gravest consideration. There is a reckless-
ness and want of the commonest business
prudence in most of our local improvements
and enterprises that is becoming really
appalling, and making the burdens of taxa-
tion‘so enormous in many places as to
repel and drive away population. There
are in most places no'morc fruitful and
careless modes of squandcriug public money
than in the matter of Highways and public
Schools. .

“I have follOwed you, Horace Greeley,
(says the farmer who has read the Tribune
for twenty yearsrfor almoat-a generation,
wherever you chose to lead me. Ihave not
always been' able to understand your
theories, but I thought that youwere gener-
ally on the side of the mark against the
tyrannical, and that you wanted all the
poor and unfortunate to have a fair chance
in life. l wished sometimes that you had a
little more back-bone, butI overlooked your
weakness and occasional inconsistency, be-
lieving that you were honest, and that if
you spoke‘thc truth every day as you un-
derstood it, I should be able to get at it sub-
stantially. At any rate I have sworn by
you and believed in you. When you have
talked about Daniel Webster and other
great men whose ambition to be president
killed their manhood, and have told us
that you did not want any office, I have felt
that you were to be trusted because on had
not the presidential or any other 0 cial bee
in your bonnet, and could afl‘ord to _speak
your mind on all occasions and to stick to
your principles.
I-have even sided with you in all your
hates and your personal animoaities. When
you have smitten in the Tribune people who
differed with on or dared to‘ ask you a
question. I ave delighted in. the bitter:-
ness of. your wit and the sting of your full-
cule ; for what business had anybody to be
a fool or to differ with a wise philosopher
who had no interest in life but to serve his
fellow men, and to improve the agriculture
of his native land ? I entered into your
quarrel with Raymond, and your! hardy
warfare with Bennett (in which you were
alwa. s right) and 1 made my ow vyour long
and itter fi ht with Thurlow . cod and
William H. Seward. You did a. great deal
more for them than they ever did _ for you,
and I sympathized with you entirely. In
short I have gone with you in all your per-
sonal dislikes, and have accepted your judg-
ment of men, and those whom you have
stamped with ~,yi‘our disapproval have been
my enemies. - he list is long.~ ' .
It is true that you have sorely puzzled me
sometimes, and it required all my faith in
our personal integrity to keep with you.
Just before the war for instance, I. couldn’t
conceive of any contingency in which I
would accept the disunion of the United
States; and yet you weakened dreadfully in
the fear of a war for the Union, and talked
the utter nonsense of a peaceable secession.
I.did not like any better your suggestion in
the darkest days of the war that if the
union armydid not succeed in putting down
the rebellion by a certain date named, then
we might as well give itup and let the rebel
states go. That seemed to me such an utter
mis—conception of the whole struggle that I
feared the troubles of the time had turned
your head. It seemed to me that we Were
fighting for national.existencc and that
there‘could be no sort of compromise any
more than a man assaulted by an assassin
could compromise by a surrender of his life.
I didn't like an better your jumble of
peace mission to - iagura; whether on or
Lincoln was most‘responsible for it I did
not care ; it was a demoralizing performance,
and all such talk about peace at that time,
on any basis but absolute: surrender of the
enemy, took the heart out of our boys in
began to feel that you were not steadfast
weaken at any critical moment.
Ihave followed you more heartily per-
haps in.your daily exposure of the wicked-
ness and want of principle of the democrat-
ic party. If all you have written of it were
gathered together and published in books, 1
do not suppose the world could contain
them. And the number of individuals in it
whom you have singled out for denunciation
is innumerable. Your difference with them
has not been purely upon abstract political
principles, but on moral grounds. If what
you'- have been saying of them for, more
than twenty years was true they were
totally unworthy of confidence, and were
not fit for decent society. There was not,
according to your daily showing, anything
decent loft in the democratic party; steeped
in slavery and in treason, gangrened with
repudiation, _ .
through and'through, its organization was
an offense which you could not abide And
I liked all that you said about Andrew
Johnson and Governor Seymour and Gov-
ernor Hoffman and Garrett Davis and the
whole set of New York Politicians; all of
them were tricksters in poiltics or thieves.
If aparty was thoroughly over-hauled by
anybody, and minutely examined and con-
demned as utterly wicked and indecent, it
was the democratic party by you ; and that,
too, for a generation, and till within a few
months. '
Now, asI say,I have followed you im-
plicitly, and in reliance upon your general
honesty. But I cannot follow you into the
democratic party. _ That would be really to
forsake your better self, to abandon all that
I admire in you and have trusted you for.
You have taught me that there is not any
man or any principle with which you are in
sympathy. If you are going Into the demo
cratic party simply to get the presidency,
you are doing what you have so often con-
demned in others, that you have taught me
in advance to draw away from you. ‘
No,I cannot followyou into the demo-
cratic party, even to see you. president. I
marvel to see you in the posxtiou you now
occupy, for it could only happen- in one of
two ways—either you or the democracy
have changed. When did the democracy
change, in character or in purpose 1’ I have
looked in vain in your paper for any re-
ports of a change in it, since a few months
ago you held it up to scorn and detestatiOn'
The men are just the same whom you have
always denounced. In what respect have
they come over to you, morally or politi-
cally ? If they have not changed, then you‘
have, for else you could not be together,
working in harmony for a revolution that
shall put you at the head of the government
and give the congress to democratic politi-
Clans.
I thank you for teaching me independence
in the Tribune, so that I am not likely to
follow any man, not even you, to destruction.
I am not going to complain that you have
made the Tribune a democratic journal,
when I subscribed for a republican .paper,

are welcome to it, but wish you would al-
ter the prospectus of your paper a .little,
and not try to convince me that I am taking
the only “ independent journal.” It con-
fuses me to read an independent journal
that won’t-allow that any other journal is
independent that does not support its side.
I do not see how you are any more independ-
ent in supporting Greeley than you were in
sustaining Grant. But I shall continue to
read you for a time yet, since it is an inter-
esting study to. watch how you shift your
guns, and turn them upon your recent
friends. Your changed tone towards the
democracy is a psychological study.
You must permit me—a reader, admirer
and- follower so long—to express my deep
indignation at the tone of contempt, apology
and derision with which the democracy
take you up. They do not like what
is best and noblest in you, they take you up
solely lon account of what. they ‘consider
your weakness. They use you simply to
capture the works of the opposition. And
what makes me indignant is that they no
more conceal their contempt for you, than
the enemy does for the deserter he uses 't0'
win his battle—Hartford Oourant.

Well neow, you have been and did it for
me! ' Made me say as how them fellers
as catched the fever ’an ager from the New
Haven Railroad’a frog pond, had made the
“widders” shake all over our city—the city
of South Norwalk l Pretty printers you be,
settiu’ a feller huntin’ up “facts,” fur two
dollars a week, the thermometer up to bust,
and the root beer at Peck’s and Stillsou’s
five cents every time 1 Pretty fellers to git
the cxasperatid widders artcr me, in addi-
shun to them other‘fclle‘rs. What ails your
eyes ? Can’t you see winders, what I wrote
you, instead of widders .’ Well, I guess them
widders did shake a larfin at your mistake I
They know’d it.wusn’t any secret attack 0’
mine on their lonely situashuu. They
know’d Twaddle wusn't any such man.
But ralel y, it does seem as how you oughtent
to a made me say such a ridiculus thing.
Why a winder is a thing as shakes itself, and
a widder is a thing as waut’s some good fel-
ler to shake-her out 0’ her sorrowful feelins.
A winder,’too, is a thing to be seen through,
while a waider—no mortal man can see thro’.
Even our mayor couldn’t with his spectades.
Now please be kcerful, in futur, and not
run me into such a narrer chance of a “un-
pleasantness” with the wimmin agin. Didn’t
the venerable and paternal Weller admonish
Samaville to beware .0’ widders 7 Of course
he did, and I’d a tho’t you’d a seed how im-
possible it war for me to make so paneful a
allusion.
‘ Speakin’ o’ winders and panes reminds
me that the mayor he’s .got his new bank
can" most ready for its new French glass
panes. Those French glass is a pane'ful pint
to him, as he’s just got ’em in his new store
across the-way. Them as is in the front
winders is busters, and nearly bustid his
last dividend. But he equalized it some by
patchin’ .out the side lights, and as economy
is wealth, all is serene and peaceful about
the new store. The new bank is a real
beauty though—a gem of the city. Had it
only a bin put where Peck hangs his ther-
mometer, and them fellers asdamsTwaddle
sits roud loose, o’ evenins’ what a crnamint
it wouldva been to ‘our enterprisin’, wide-
awake and rapidly growin’ city 1 ,But as it
is, its a barrier to them scamps as flirts their
soild hflkacheers out the keer winders to
our pretty dam-sells, to the vexasion uv our
own city sprigs.
When them big bank lights gets put in,
broad, and thick and clear, rind our cashier’s
beamiu’ face, full 0’ genrus smiles, is shinin’
thro’ thar, you may weep and wail over
your faded grateness at the Bridge. Mind I
tell you, it’ll be the prittiest little baukin’
house in Fair-field county, and ’il have the
hausomcst ofiices, presdent,cashier,teller and
sweeper, 0’ any bank in town i The wim-
min all vow to this, or I wouldn’t a dar’d
to asaid it. But what can you do in the
way of unique and picturesque beauty at the
Bridge} Take all yer banks, and them
fellers as runs ’em, short and long, and what
.can 'any on ’em do, along side ours, on the
hansum? Avaunt! Vamose ! Disperse 1
You can’t come it. Your nowhere 1 Don’t
I know 1’ Haint every muther’s sion of ’em

out a géttin’ a sight 0’ me or a dollar either.
You just ask ’em, if you don’t believe it.
-Afore I forget it, let me say we are not be-
hind other large, and influential, and enter-
prisin’ cities. We had our share in last
Thursday uite’s earthquake. At first I
didn’t know-but that fat widder next door
had got to. readin’ the GAZETTE agen about
my shakin’ “widders,” and so got the whole
arth a shakin’. But ~Amorauxha Jane, who
biles my hiiEh o’ mornins’ and kinder keeps
the approaches to my sleepin’ apartmints in
repair, she knows, and 'she says it was a
earthquake, real and ginnine. Some said it
was nuthin’ but the mayor’s five hosses a
kickin’, but that is impossible, as two on ’em
is turned out to pastor. Agin, economy is
wealth. Yes, I guess our last distinguished
visitur, since the Bridgeport perlico, was a
rule, live arthquakc.
But I must itell you about them pcrlice.
They cum down arter theirICofl'ee, or rather
after our Jerry. Cum on the same train
with Jerry, but he seed they got ofl‘ here
and so he kept on to New York. Jerry is
one of the boys, a good fellow enough when
John Barleycorn don’t get him into some
pickle. Well, you see Jerry he turned tem-
perance reformer overn’n Bridgeport, and
the fust feller he met he threw him off the
bridge intothe river and drowned him a
trying to make a cold water man of him.
He won. His victim cum out a stiff ’un.
But Jerry, he saw they didn’t appreciate his
labors in the “cause,” so he left, and just like
Greeley and Grant, and the Jap Embassy,
he passed right thro’ South Norwalk, and
went to New York. The perlice,‘ they
didn’t want to git'to New York, and havin’
read my “first class notis” of Stillson’s root
beer, all you can drink fur five cents,thcy
stopped ofi‘, took a few glasses 0’ root, went
up into the quiet country to the Bridge, got
some more beer, and cream, and sich, and
then enjoid themselves, and at night took
their wearid bodies to Bridgeport agin fur
repose. ’Taint strange, is it. that any feller
Bridgeport? Them perlice is heavy old
sports. Had they 0’ wanted Jerry, and had
a telegraphed our chief, he’d it took off that
blue~great~coat which had near-about sweat
him to deth, and he'da stepped inter the
keers and said “Jerry cum forth.” Our per-
lice put a private mark on Jerry only a few
weeks ago, so they’d know him next time
they wanted to firid him. Jerry he objectid
but the the perlice subdued him after a sun-
genary battle and considerable reinforc-
miutfi, and then the chief justice, he find
him, and wanted. to find the perlice too, but
he couldn’t, and so Jerry seed we wur all
agin him, and so he left our city in disgust,
and transferred his ’legiance toBridgeport,
where the perlice has more'to see to. But
how easy tohave catched Jerry. Why, our
mayor, on one notable occasion, porsooed a
fugitive from justice clear to New York, and
got him tuck up, when our chief wus bizzy,
and hadn’t any buzness uv his own to see to
in New .York. He’d a done it agiu cf he’d a
been notified, far- he allurs can find some-
thin’ 'to du .in N00 -York. Jerry, he‘s a
cooked goose. They’ll have him, for the
paper's hev got arter him now, and that’ll
smoke any feller out. , He’ll be catched. In
fact, I don’t doubt but by this writiu’he 3's
catched, and South Norwalk will lose one of
her most active citizens, and the democracy
one 0’ its most'shinin’ lights. “Let us have
peace.”

there was enufl‘ onto 'it to give it a. smell of

fell among them Bridge Philistincs, and
what else could we expect. Only a few nitcs

DEMOCRATIC EurnusrasM.—.The New
York World, the leading democratic paper
enthusiastic remarks upon the action about
being ’taken by its party at Baltimore in
nominating Greeley and 13108711 :—
“ Barnum, gm prince of humbugs, never
offered anythi g quite so odd and monstrous
as the entertainment which has been ar-
ranged at Baltimore for the present week.
The public mind is not tossed between cou-
flicting possibilities, for nobody expects any
other result than the nomination of Greeley ;
but the interest which is brought up to so
high a pitch, subsists upon the wondering
incredulity ofthe public. Of all the strange
things which have ever happened,what can
seem more extraordinary than the nomina-
tion of Horace Greeley as the regular Demo-
cratic candidate for President? It being al-
ready certain that the thing will be done,
the country watches the progress with the
same kind of interest it would feel in look-
ing at a hungry anaconda about to swallow
a stag—hoofs, horns, and all—when it would
nearly cost the anaconda his life to perform
the feat, to say nothing of the pains of di-
gestion afterwards. ,
Such a feat of deglition will be performed
at Baltimore tomorrow or next day, when
the Democratic party will gulp down Mr.
Greeley; and as this amazing meal has been
decided on, We can only wish the Democrat-
ic partya happy digestion. The World will
contribute no slime to give the animal a
slippery passage down the throat of the de-
vourer; but when the thing is done, it will
do whatever may be in its lpower to aid the
di, cation, and prevent the emocratie party
gomg into torpid3anderolonged stupor by
reason of the heavy load upon its stomach.
We trust there may be vigor enough in the
party to digest lhlS monstrous meal, and
come forth afterwards “ as welias could be
expected.”
The Bridgeport Fawn—democratic law
and gospel in this vicinity—hoists Gree-
ley’s name under the heading of “National
Democratic Ticket,” and jubilates as fol-
l.0ws :—
“We perform today the most disagreeable
and distasteful act of our whole life in plac-
ing at our mast head the names of Horace
Greeley and B. Gratz Brown, as the candi-
dates of tthemocratic Party for President
and Vice-President of the United States. It '
is impossible to conceal our chagrin—We
have no disposition to disguise the Sincere
and almost inconsolable disappointment
that we, in common with a large number of
the sterling- Democrats of the Old Fourth
District, feel at the strange turn political
affairs have taken.” -

In, 0 days gone by when I was young,

“ good things never die,” I suppose you
“stilllive.” Iliavc thought of you frequent-
ly, and purposed to write, if only to let you
know that '
“ Somewhere yet, for good or ill,
Your ancient friend is living still.”
But “ Tempm" will “fugit”it so fast, that
before one can date a letter to-day, to-mor-

outline, even, of the interesting events that
have crowded my life since We parted, the
columns would almost fill your paper. So
I’ll talk to you this morning of the interests
of yesterday.
After preaching in the jail, which contains
about sixty inmates, we went to “ Buck-
town,”—the “Five Points” of Cincinnati—
to hold an open air meeting. I wonder
whether you have open-air meetings in Nor-
walk, and if not, why not? Why wait un-
til Norwalk is as large and as wicked as
Cincinnati or New York, before attempting
a reform? If you cannot close your drink-
ing saloons now,what will you do when
you have a “ whisky ring,” thoroughly or-
ganized and defiant ? If the Christian
church in Norwalk will not use its present
strength, can it expect to increase in power?
Is energy developed by inaction? Perhaps
you hold meetings in the grove or park, and
have your ministers preach. That is very
well,but it does not amount to much. Min-
isters are overworked without this extra toil,
and besides they are not the ones to reach
the masses. They are too theological, and
use too long words. But let the young
Christian men and women who read these
lines, ask themselves if two or three of them

No more canwe, by our'good works, raise
our dead souls to life again.” “ N 0 man can
justify himself or another, except one who
is righteous. But none of us are righteous.
None but Jesus is righteous. None but Je-
sus can justify.” “ The Church of Rome
condemns as lost all outside herfold.. Other
denominations make our salvation very
problematical. So it appears that if justifi-
cation was from men, it would be' a narrow-
minded afi‘air. It is from God, and more
liberal.” The speaker divided justification

The best July Investment.
A large amount of money, in the aggre-
gate, is disbursed iu July in the shape of
interest upon Govegnment and other bonds,
and dividends upon stock. The question,
what is the best disposition to make of this
addition to ouc's means, is of importance.
During midsummer, money “rules easy,”
according to the phrase of financiers, That
is, it is plenty and at the rate of interest
upon loans .is very low. To invest this
surplus in the purchase of Government
bonds is not profitable, because they are so
high that they pay only from 4% to 5 per
cent. upon the investment. Next to Govern-
ment bonds for safety, and far exceeding
them for profit, a re first cluss railroad bonds.
Among those whose security has been well
established are the First Mortgage 7‘ per
cent. sold Bonds of the Chicago“ Danville
and Vincenncs Railroad. running in an air
line from the great Indiana coalflclds to

Olefin: road is not. an experiment. It has
been in successful operation Since Janna
last, and instead of estimating the probate
future business of the road, the officets
simply give the figures showmg that it is
actually earning, week byweeln, a large ex-
cess over its interest liability. _ Such a bond
must be good, and, being sold at 90 and
accrued interest, it is highly profitable as
well. The loan is being rapidly _ sold and
those wishing to participate in its advan.
tages will do well to make early applrca.
tion to the authorized agents who are advcr.
