flercer resistance in the House than it did acceptance of the Selectmen. This vote
in the Senate, yet the fact that it was fought
out and got rid of by one branch of Con-
gI'eSS,glves encouraging hope that a final
adjournment may be reached, if not on the
22d proximo, as agreed upon, at furlherest
by the first of July. _
The Finance Bill is yet to come up, and
will consume much time in discussion.
Few are sanguine enough to hope that any-
thing will come of it at this session. The
' maiden speech of the new Senator from
Massachusetts, went to‘ show just what
everybody knew;_of him who knew him at
all,”and that’ is that he carries a round and
sensible head on finance, as well as on other
subjects. Mr. -Washburn’s speech made no
pretence towards oratory or polished dic-
tion, but it was full of practical, sound,
business sense. He has long been an officer
in his home bank, and this experience, add-
ed to his inate good judgment, gave force
and power to his arguments.
The District affairs, which are expected
’ to come up for a full debate and revision. on
the report of the investigating committee,
will necessarily consume much time. A
fortnight is conceded to it, and if this be so,
an adjournment on the 22d will be impossi-
ble. All regular committee work is well
up, and more reports are already on tho ta-
bles of the two houses and awaiting action,
than can possibly be reached.
The business before the Senate Committee
on Patents (Senator Ferry’s) has been un-
precedentediy large this session, but all the
important cases were disposed of before the
chairman left for Connecticut. The few
unimportant cases remaining will probably
be dispdsed of at its next sitting, and the
work of the session concluded by this com-
mittee. There has been an immense amount
of patient, laborious committee work done
in both Houses by this Congress, and yet,
so antagonistic have been the opinions of
its divers members, that far too few salutary
measures have been carried through.
, A dispatch from Hartford, the other day,
to the. Star, of this city, giving a most dol-
orous account of Senator Ferry’s health,
and of his meditatcd purpose of immediate-
ly resigning, caused considerable anxiety
here, until an authoritotivc denial of the
false rumor appeared in its next issue. It
is not to be wondered at, perhaps, that our
political opponents, having made a bad job
of selecting their first U. S. Senator, unduly
envet another opportunity to amend the
mistake. Nothing, in a political way, has
occurred so damaging to the hopes of the-
democratic leaders out of our State, as “the
selection of Mr.'Eaton.
A Senator, long a bright and shining
light in the democracy, said in our hearing
yesterday: “ We can stand these confeder-
ste fellows who have come into Congress,
for they accept the situation, but these
northern sympathizers, like Eaton, who
never took any part in the struggle, and did
nothing but stay at home and croak, have
never learned anything, and never will.”
Public men here, and notably so the demo-
cratic leaders, who have a generai knowl-
edge of such Connecticut democrats as Ex.-
Gov. English, Gov. Ingersoll,Hon. R. D.
Hubbard, Judge Seymour, Ex.-Secretary
Welles and W. D. Bishop, are purlzled be-
yond measure to divine how Mr. Eat n,
with his anti-war record, could have b on
selected. At home, this "thing is better un-
derstood, and Mr. Eaton is known to be the
fair and honest exponent of pure and un-
adulturated Connecticut copperheadism. It
is true that the young and progressive men
of that party in the statewould have much
preferred such a man as Bishop, Wheeler,
Hubbard, Ed. Seymour, or Ingersoll, while
the lamb-like Greeley Republicans Would
have been delighted with the selection of
Hon. David Clark; but'both these elements
of the democratic party were awed aside
and slunk out of sight when the “old
guard” of simon-pure Connecticut democ-
racy stalked forth to the front. When the
democrats of Connecticut failed to elect
Governor Ingersoll U. S. senator, they com-
mitted a political blunder that will not only
injure them at home, but will most serious-
ly damage their; party prospects throughout
the Nation. Mr. Eaton, with his record
and his selection by the democracy of our
state, will be the strongest “ card” on the
Congressional stump this fall, and he and
his party and the state will be given a no-
toriety in the coming canvass little dreamed
of by the “faithful” who put him in nomi-
nation. The Republicans here scem quite
as delighted ever the turn this Senatorial
matter has taken, as the democrats are an-
noyed and chagriued by it.
Friday the Senate adjourned over to one
o’clock on account of the wedding at the
White House, although but five or six Sena-
tors were invited. The event has kept the
gossips in an intense state of anxiety for
half the winter, and it is some relief to
know that it is now 3111 over. It was a
most brilliant affair. Miss Grant, by her
modesty and ladylike department had be-
come a universal favorite here. Her hus-
band is young and rich, with a penchant
for “fast" associates, which is to be hoped
so noble a girl and good a wife will be able
to win him away from.

01 T Y MEETING.
The long expected, “city meeting” was
held on Wednesday cveni’ngmpd was well
attended, showing that thc'citizens are tak-
ing more interest in our municipal afl‘ai‘rs
than usual. The first subject for considera-
tion brought before the meeting, was the
report of the “Special Citizens Water Com-
mittee" which report, considering the time
allowed for investigation and examination,
fully justifies our prediction made upon
their appointment, and was definite, full,
and complete, giving the estimated cost for
the introduction of water into the city from
New Canaan and the Borough of Norwalk,
also the Holly system, as far as it was possi-
ble to ascertain it.
The people seemed disposed to take
some definite action in regard to it, and ap-
pointed a committee consisting of Hons. D.
P. Ely, Judge W. T. Craw and Edwin
Adams, to procure the necessary legislation
to enable the city to act.
The matter of amendments to the city
charter was briefly discussed, and referred
to a special committee, composed of S. C.
Palmer, D. R. Selleck, and Wm. S. Bouton,
to prepare amendments, which are to be
submitted to the legal voters for their ac.
ceptancc, at an adjourned meeting, four
weeks hence. .
The people manifested their assent to the
efforts for reiorni’, by their unalloyed good
nature—Olly Guard.

opens an article in the New York World
with the following entertaining anecdote :-
There is an amusing old French story of
how the magistrates of a country town in
France, before the days of street-lamps and
gas, and as a better security against the un-
lawful acts of “vagrom men,” passed an or-
after dark without a lantern," and that diso-
bedience of the law should entail a heavy
penalty. The watch, anxious to do their
duty, accordingly arrested the first night
after the law took effect a well-known and
estimiable individual, but of waggish pro-
pensities, and hauled him up before the lo-
cal dogberry on charge of having broken
the statute. The defendent, however, on be-.
ing asked why punishment should not be
in icted upon him, averred that he had
. committed no offence, and in support of his
plea produced a lantern. It being rejoined
that the lantern had no candle, he next
maintained that the law did not require that
the lantern should contain any candle; and
the statute being examined and the defence
found valid, the arrested party was dismiss-
ed and the'law so amended as to read, “that
no citizen should thereafter walk out after
dark without a lantern and a candle.” The
next night the same person being found

“But the candle,” said
Dogberry, “is not lighted.” “And the law,”
rejoined the wag, “does not require that it

found correct the accused was once more
discharged and the statute further amended
so as to read, “that no citizen should here-
after walk out after dark without a lantern
and a candle in it, and that the candle
should be lighted." The next night the
same incorrigible and troublesome person
was again brought up before the court, and
this time both watch and magistrate thought
they hada sure thing of it; for to all up-

Celia Logan is in Californla; she is dis-
gusted with the place, and especially so with
the class of ruffians who are called “Hood-
lums" in that benighted country. In her
letter to the New York Daily Graphic she
can hardly findwords to express her antip-
athy for them. We give the following ex-
tract:
"But they are worst ofall tit—the theatre,”
says Mr. Morrison, the “young lover” at the
ful wail—“I am afraid I shall nfier, never
be able to make love again to the leading
ladies! That delicate and divine art of per-
traying, youthful passion, its self-sacrificing
intensit and fervor, which I have made an
especia study, has been crushed by the
Hoodlums. When I clasp ,Juliet to my
heart I keep one e e on her and the other
on the gallery. If say ‘I love you 1’ there’s
a concerted howl from the Hoodlums. yells
of derision and cat calls: ‘Oh, yes i’ .and
‘Fur how long '8’ And if I kiss her, there’s
a chorus of smacking lips. Is that encour-
agement for art? Under the Hoodlum fire,
can I throw any love-light in my looks ? N o ;
I must be stern and watchful, and 'when I
leave here, no more Claudes and Romeos
for me—the Hoodlums have crushed me.
Henceforth I make love only in private.”

ble object in the Warren Museum is the

“WE:
and ' our
NEIGHBORS”
is the latest and raciest work by
. Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Author of“ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,”
“ The Minister’s Waning,” “My Wife and I,"
and other powerful stories, each the literary sensa.
tion of its period; and this story promises alike
genuine and wholesome sensation. It bears direct-
ly on. social topics of interest, embracing the ro-
mance of youthful companionships, the brightness
of happy home-life, the spicy complications of
neighborhood associations, and such follies and
_ profound domestic miseries as have led'to _the
widespread Temperance movement‘of the any.”
Mrs. Stowe is now in the prime of that genius
which wrote “Uncle Tom,” ripened by years of
study and observation. Her novels are immensely
popular, “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin” alone out-selling
by hundreds of thousands any’edition of any origi-
nal work ever published—save the Bible. Her
book two years ago, “My Wife and I,” outsold
every contemporary. Suchapnre and ennobling
story as “We and Our Neighbors”: should be read
in every home. This new Serial is now running
exclusively in the
