I} Dun, om=—B°m Houses adjourned for funds to carry out an elaborate pro- notificatio

I_.las_tI_evenlngIover to Monday, and all the

nephrtmeiil’s‘took 'a recess, that the observ-
ance of 'Décora‘tiOn asy'nugm be worthy
its sacred inspirdtion. To-day has been
even more quict‘than the Sabbath. Tens
of thousands of the District have since day-
break been weuding their way in carriages,
on horseback and on foot, to Arlington, the
Soldiers' Home, and the few other ceme-
teries where repose the mortal part of the
dear boys who gave their lives to save the
mass. The day has been the most cham-
i'ag possible, and the crush at Arlington, in
particular, has been entime unprecedented. ‘
The zest and sincere enthusiasm with which
the “colored friend and brother" takes part
in these grave decanting services touch the
heart with an irresistible pathos. We met
scores of negro women and children trudg-
ing: along towards Arlington, bearing, in
some instances, their aprons and arms full
of the sweetest and rarest of flowers. In
many other cases they were fairly loaded
down with aprons and kerchiefs filled with
simple red clover blooms. Deadencd in
sensibilities, though these sable sons and"
daughters may reasonably be supposed to
have become by their long years of bondage,
yet having their hearts touched by fire from
the Atlas of Liberty, instinctively they
spring to an earnest and devout comprehen-
sion and commendation of this day as one
indisaolubiy associated with their freedom.
Flags have waved at half-mast all about the
city, and are seen dimiy'floating far out on
theIMaryland and Virginia heights, where
erst the frowning siege gun halted and de-
fied the rebels’ advance upon the nation’s
Capital. The air has been filled with the
strains of soft music played to the funeral
march and dirge, as well as with the dc-
lightful odors of myriads of fragrant flow-
ers. If from Heaven the'spirits of our
dead patriots looked down upon the holy
observances of this day, grateful, indeed,
must have been their emotions. Not so
. much at the feeble though touching tribute
to their sacrifices and valor, as because of
the benign and patriotic inspirations with
which it seemed to have filled-the hearts of
the living. The extent of this observance
and the almost universal turn-out of the
people, is without precedent, and is a hap-
py augury of increased, rather than dimin-

- ished impulses of patriotism.

'How inevitably and yet how reluctantly
the mind reverts from the scenes and ice-
sons of this day to the attitude of endorse-
ment of all the worst spirit of the Rebellion
Connecticut has just exhibited to the world.
Passing by men of highest honor, of emi-
nent abilities, and of undoubted fealty to
the Union, to show its defiance, as it were,
to all loyal sentiment, it has chosen of all
othersas their selected choice, a man to rep-
resent them in the Sc_nate, who, had his un-
patriotic desires and predictions been fiil’
filled, would have had the Senate dispersed
.by traitor bayonets and this government
blotted out from among the nations of the
earth.
Gov. Hawley has been roundly censured
for having favored and preferred the elec-
tioujof Mr. Eaton over all others, as we have

I been for having preferred any other to him.

The General was, no doubt, as henest in his
premrences as we were in our prejudices.
At all events no one can question his right
to the enjoyment of his opinion. But
. standing as he did today where the fliowers
above more than twenty thousand soldier
graves peered pleadiagly to Heaven and
into Gen. Hawicy’a eyes, inspired as he was
with“ eloquence born of his own intense
love of the Union, we knowI that down
deep in his heart the sentiment must have
found a » pinceé“GodI. pity and-forgive the
democracy of‘Connecticutfqr. their wanton
inault'to these dead heroes)!

As-the session draws rapidly to its expect-
ed ciose, the prospects of; anything being
done with ’ ‘the ' finances ' diminish. All rc-

. member that last December the country and
Congress felt thatthis was the one, and sole
thing demanding legislation. After all,
time is the great healer and adjuster of fi-
nancial as well as other grievances. Now,
neither the country or Congress seem to
care whether anything is done or not in the
way of tinkering over monetary laws. In-
deed, a divided reaction has taken place in
the West, in form of the let-weil-enough-
alone policy. ' I

Gen. Kellogg did a brave thing in the
House in his defense of Secretary Richard-
son. For be it known, it isn't quite: the
popular thing to do to stand up and defend
that much maligned individual. The facts
are, that the law under which the Sanborn
contracts were made and executed had be-
come such an offense that a victim must be
found to carry the odium. The Treasury
oflcials were convenient and favorable con-
duits through which to pass the garnered
wrath. It never seems to have occurred to
Congressmen that the Secretary of the
Treasury does not usually enact laws. Gen,
Kellogg put the responsibility just where it
belongs, with Congressfiwhich passed that
law and, not upon a public servant who
was in duty bound to execute it. It was a
courageous and successful demonstration,
and the justice of his arguments were con-
ceded by everybody. A decided reaction
has taken place in the minds of members,
as a result of the discussion his speech nec-
essarily evoked. I . f ‘

The long and. tedious District Investiga-
tioh has closed, and 'now the report of the
Joint Committee is anxiously awainted.

Senator Spencer was on Thursday voted
his seat, after a party struggle.

Rev. Mr. Hamilton preached a forcible
and well-considered sermon on the subject
of Temperance, last Sunday morning. He
brought the subject home to his listeners by
specially considering the effects of intem-
-.'pe‘ra'uce upon the community at large. A
few such sermons would wake our people

- up, and be the means of accomplishing

such road» -

i . Rev Mr. Morse presented the cause of the

Hoivard Mission, of New York, at the First
Congregational church, on Sunday evening

of- the church opened with a fine anthem.
A collection was taken for the benefit of the

‘ Mr. R. H. Peunoyer, formerly of Roway—
ton. but now Principal of .s public school
in Orange, N. J., was in town last week.

I ’ The services were conducted by the Monu-

mental Association, and the members were

gramme. _ Their request for flowers, how-

ever, was chcerthliy responded to, and the

floral offerings were larger and choicer than

ever before, notwithstanding the backward-

ncss of the season. The soldiers are very

grateful to the kind ladies who so freely

parted with their floral treasures. .

The services uprtown were held Saturday

afternoon, at the Cemetery, commencing

about half-past two. There was a fair at-

tendance gathered to honor the memory of
the lamented dead. The Soldiers’ Associa-
tion appeared with less of organization than

usual, and with smaller numbers. - Marshal
Wm. A. Kellogg conducted the exercises
which took place under the trees on a small
platform erected for the purpose. The open-
ing prayer was offered by E. W. Stuart,
Esq, which was followed by singing under
the direction of 'Prof. G. W. Merriam. Rev.
J. A. Hamilton was then introduced and de-
livered an address which was received with
much pleasure by his listeners. After sing~
ing, Rev. E. D. Bentley made a brief address
which was very pleasing. Wm. B. Bouton,
Esq, made a few closing remarks:

Mrs'. Pardee', who had been announced to
-'speak, failed to appear—somebody having
blundered. ' The exercises generally were
of an impromptu character, but still quite
interesting. ’

After the Doxology the soldiers proceed-
ed on their march through the grounds and
decorated the following graves: -

At Pine Island the services commenced
at 4 o’clock, under direction of Assistant
Marshal C. F. Hailock. Somewhat less
preparation had been made than usual, and
[the attendance was smaller than in previ-
ous seasons. Mr. Hallock opened the exer-
cises, and was followed by Mr. Charles E.
Duty, Rev. Mr. Hauienbcek, and Mr. E. W.
Stuart, in short and appropriate addresses.
Mr. Mcrriam’s choir appeared and enliven-
ed the exercises with several selections. The
foilowiug graves were decorated :—

T ercises at Rowayton took place on

Sund . mmencing at 4 o’clock, p. m., un-
der direction of Assistant Marshal Wm. G.
Crockett. The day was lovely and the at.
tendance was quite large, perhaps larger
than ever before. We noticed among out.
of-town parties, quite a number of people
present from Greenwich. - I

The opening prayer'was offered by Rev.
Mr. Rouse of the Five Mile River Baptist
church. Mr. William S. Bouton made an
address giving some interesting historical
reminiscences of the war. An attempt was
made to sing “My Country ’tis of thee,” but
it was not a flattering success,—Norwalk
singers are modest and will not sing in pub-
lic. 'Mr. Arthur Elweil was introduced and
made a very pleasing address, occupying
about fifteen minutes.

Mrs. M. B. Pardee appeared and made the
leading address, which occupied .something
over half an hour in delivery. She was
clear and distinct in delivery, fearless in ex.
pression of,opinion,and succeeded admirably
in holding the attention of her listeners,
.wiuning applause at the conclusion.
Col. James M. Turner, of the N. Y. Courier,
closed with an earnest address appropriate
to the occasion. After the _ Doxology the
graves were decorated as follows:

Our printers were in luck last Saturday.
While sweltering under the sky-lights they
were “surprised” by the 1entrance of Frank
Mead with a can of fruit flavored ice cream
which he respectfully submitted for trial. N 0
time elapsed in testing the quality, and we
have abundant “proof " that it was very su-
perior, the “impression” being favorable—
and printers are th ‘ . gbly capable and
honest judges! Fran Mead &Co._serve
this cream in their saloon daily, and if you
have a taste for the fine art of ice cream
making drop in and test itior yourselves.
They also furnish cream‘in paper boxes, by
the pint or quart, and supply cream at
wholesale. They freeze by steam.

The report of the Adjutant-General gives
a short sketch of the principal doings of

tention, with favorable comment. to the
suggestion of Gen. Craufurd, recommending
that the artillery sectionsmay now, without
detriment to the State, be disbanded, and
suggesting the adoption of the Gatling Gun.
The military enrollment shows an in-
crease, when compared with the returns
of last year, in the number liable to military
duty, and a slight increase in the number
liable to pay commutation tax. The number
of inactive militia returned the previous
year was 55,441; this year the number is
50,914, an increase :of 1,473. The number
returned as liable to pay acommutation
tax of $2 is 34,779, against 34,898 last year-I
a decrease of 110. The commutation Itax
amounts to “0,558. The report conning

of Wm. H. James’ homestead. The price
paid was $9,500, which is very moderate.
It is understood that the purchasers intend
to cut it up into building lots, for which
purpose it is specially desirable on account
or its proximity to the Bridge.

The Festival Season.

The Norwalk Baptist Social Union will
open the season with a festival on Wednes-
day evening, 3d. The admission includes
strawberries, cream, cake, &c. They will
be sure to have aIpleasant party. and you
will find its nice place to spend the evening.

The East Ave. Methodist Society follow
immediately after with? their Festival tinder
the Agricultural Society’s tent on Thursday
and Friday evenings of this week, 4th and
5th. Exercises in the church. Go.

Next Tuesday evening a Festival for the
benefit of Concord Division is to be held at
Lockwood‘s Hall. A “variety” programme
is oflered, which will be sure to please.

The Festival of the 2d M. E. Society will
be held next week on Wednesday and Thurs-
day evenings, mm and 11th, at Lockwood’s
Hall. The exercises are always pleasing.
and the attendance is sure to be large.

Phoenix Hose Company hold their Festi-
val and Hop on the evening of the 16th.

 

The Sociable of the 2d Methodist E. So-
ciety will be held on Wednesday evening,
at the residence of Mr. Seiieck Youngs,

The tide of Summer travel on the steam-
boat has now fairly set in. The sail is as‘
delightful as ever, and passengers have ev-
ery reason to be satisfied with the manage-
ment of the line. the boat running promptly
on time, and being furnished with all desir.
able accommodations and conveniences.
Capt. Wildman is courteous and obliging,
and attentive to the wants of the passengers
and will undoubtedly prove a popular ofii-
cer. The other ofiiciais are prompt in the
performance of their duties, and we see no
reason why the Nelly White should not con-
tinue to enjoy the public confidence as in
past seasons.

 

 

The Litchfield Sentinel has along article
endorsing the move to add to the number of
Superior Court judges, and also to increase
the salary of all the judges. It says all of
the prominent lawyers favor raising the
salary! Of course they do, and they will
all be candidates.

test their pedestrian powers. On Thursday
evening, Mr. Baxter started fiom;bis Main
Street store, accompanied by two friends,
intent upon waikin to the South Norwalk
depot and return in irty minutes. He ac-
complished thetrip in 87 minutes, stopping
three minutes to rest. Friday night he
assayed it again, accompanied by some half
dozen friends, making about the same time.
The same evening Mr. S. K. Stanley, tried
the walk, making'the time from his News
Oflce in 34 minutes. Who will be the next
to try?

The. Sleeps-g Railroad.

The Shepaug Railroad company put on
an additional train yesterday, and now run.
two passenger and one freight train over
the road each Iway daily. By the new
time-table we find-that the morning-train
down leaves Litchfield ten minutes later
than heretofore, and- ‘makes the same con-
nectionat South Norwalk'with trains to
New York and New Haven, as on the old
time-table. The afternoon passenger train
now leaves Litchfield at 2:35 and connects
at South Norwalk with the Shore Line ex-
press train to New York at six o'clock, and
with the 0:14 train to New Haven. By this
arrangement passengers leaving Litchfield
at 2:85 p:m., reach New York at 7:30, some
four hours sooner than under the old ar-
rangement, the saving of time being on the
train as they leave Litchfield about the
same time as before. This shortening of
the time down “in the afternoon will, no
doubt, be duly appreciated by the public
and, in our opinion, add largely to the par
sengcr receipts of the road. It will give
our people here who desire to visit stations
on the Shepaug road on opportunity to do
so and return by daylight, instead of crawl-
ing dorm on a “mixed train” at the rate of
about seven miles per hour. We are pleas~
ed to learn that the business of the Shepaug
Road is steadily increasing, and that in all
probability it will ere long become a divi-
dend paying road.

A new, spacious, and delightfully situated
Hotel is now near completion in Litchfield,
within two minutes’ walk of the'depot, the
rooms of which are mostly engaged for‘the
season, and the application for board from
Philadelphia, New York, and other places,
are numerous through jthe entire Shepaug
Valley, and the ‘abiiity of the Ville'y people
to accommodate the applicants will be the
onl limit to the number of visitors there
th season.

“hot weather” set in just about the time of
thegrand nuptials,or because “Mrs. Grundy”
sold ten thousand copies of the New York
Graphic with its fine description but horria'
ble caricatures, I cant tell. True it is nev-
ertheless that there have never been so many
bridal parties visiting the Capital at any
one time before. They seem to have come
in swarms like the grasshoppers on the
prairies and you. can count them by the
scores, about the Capitol and City in all
sorts of rich, lustrous and grotesque and
iinsey-wooisey costumes. These brides and

- . grooms are ever to me, the most funny and

interesting persons in the world. When I
was a child the fashion ‘used tofirevail to
get married in the fail or early winter; now
the young people seem to get married just
as fast as they can and especialiy’in “spring
time." ’ '

Beside the many wedding companies from
abroad'visiting. Washington since Miss Nel-
ly Grant’s setting off such a good example,
tire is no end to the tales “Society” people
are telling about s one and that one of
some. boyish or lish member of some

family, who is to he led to the altar by
somebody. , Dear me, how trying such
things are to contemplate with the thermom-

and three. others announced a. pair, making
tWenty-two out of fifty-two, which is cer-
tainly evi icons of progress in public opinion

brought $14,000, the largest sum of money
ever paid for a bull in this country. At the
Utica sale the highest (price paid for a hull
was 812,000 for. secoii Duke .of Oneida.
while the fifth Duke of Wetherb sold re-
cently in Englandior. about $12, _ in our
currency. The purchaser to-day was George

understood, is acti for the Earl of Bec-
tive, one of Cost Britain’s largest breeders.
The second Duke of Hillhurst is by sixth
Duke of Geneva, out of Duchess ninety-sev-
enth, she by third Duke of Wharfdale.
Hon. John Wentwortb, of this city tried
hard to keep the bull in this country, bid-
ding as big. as $13,700 only recently, so it
is reporte . The sale of the Duke leaves
bnt three-Duke bulls in this country, all
aimed in Kentucky. The total amount
realized on the cows to-day was $101,615;
and on bulls. $25,875. The best sold cows
were Lady Mary Seventh and Lady Mary
Eighth, twins, by Fourth Lad Oxford, out
of ady Mary, she by Holspur, out'of liar-
oncss. These two heifers sold for $11,000.
Our agricultural friends have another con,
firmation in the results of the above sale, of
the fact that it pays to rear the heat breeds of
animals. Morris Ketchum,Esq., of West-
port, has for years tried to impress our farm-
ers with the truth that it is just as easy to
raise one of his thoroughbred “Duchesses”
as it is a native or a grade animal,—the for-.
mer-selling for hundreds andflwusanda, (as
at the Utica. Mills sale, and now at Col.
King’s,) while the latter rarelybring u twen-
tieth part as much. Col. King is a sort of
universal genius. He a live and wide awake
man, who has his eyes and wits about him.
He believes it always pays best to raise and
produce the best of everything. In addition
to stock raiser,1ie is an editor, and has
probably done more for the material .devel-
opement’ and prosperity of his adopted
state and the great North-West, than any
itenI “delegations” Minnesota has ever sent
to Washington.- Indeed, we personally
know that during Col. King’s many years’
Congressional sojourns in Washirigton,he
has done more successful work and accom-I-
plished more beneficialresults for the west-
Iem country, inrmatters of legislation, than

I any score of elected members. And this

leads us to repeat the surprise so alien ex-
pressed by others, that his Con' ressionai
district has never insisted upon his serving
them as a Member of Congress. But we
presume the Co]. has been toobusy with his
cattle and his horses, his newspaper and
his stock farm ; his. labors for his “friends”
nnd his “fellow citizens," and “his section
of the. country.” I "

Besides the advantages of having a meni.

ber ableand willing to serve it people, there
is a great deal in having one who “knows
the ropes," and all the ins and outs of leg-
islation. So we live in hopes of yet seeing
Col. King’s “constituency" honor and: bene-
fit themselves far more than they can him
by electing him to a seat inIConngcss.
- Col.' King, as some of our readers are
aware, was'thc purchaser of the young and
beautiful “Pathfinder” mare, raised by Oli-
ver Wilson, Esq., of Harwinton, and sub-
sequently owned and driven here. '. He paid
the largest sum for her ever known to have
been given for such an animal for mere
stock raising purposes. She is conceded to
be the most showy and gay horse, in natural
form and action, of any horse in America.
and the Colonel has named her “Lady Nor-
walk," in honor of the town from whence
he purchased his highly prized animal.

The Colonel has a blooded stallion of
great beauty and speed, for which he paid
$25,000;and his stock in horses is reputed
to be nearly as large and valuable as his
' herd of short horns. '

 

Union Pacific II. R.

Sometime since we noticed the fact that
Mr. Samuel L. Treadweli of this place had
instituted a suit to compel Mr. Eflingham H.
Nichols, Treasurer of the Central Branch
Union Pacific Railroad,and also treasurer
for the parties in the Credit Mobilier con-
tract of constructing the road, to produce
for inspection the books of the parties to the
contract in his" possession relating to the
pbuildiugof the road. Mr. Treadwcll, who
is interested in the contract, made aflida-
vit that he had been refused such inspection
and even permission to enter the office in
which the books are kept. He wants an
accounting, and it seems there was an ex‘ec-
utive committee, who keep a large subsidy
in their hands and do not want to account.
The defendant did not deny the facts, bug
insisted that the plaintiff was not entitled
to an inspection. Judge Donohue took the
papers and on the 29th ult. gave the follow-
decision and order :— ..

Scrum Coun'r CHAMBERS,
Present, Hon. Charles Donahue, J usticc.

_The motion to compel the production and
discovery, and an inspection, and Ito copy,
or permission to take a copy of the books,
papers and ddcuments in which are record-
cd'th‘e proceedings of the parties in interest
in the contract for ‘the construction of the
Central Branch'Uniou Pacific Railroad and
which are in the possession or under the
control of Efiingham H. Nichols, Treasurer
of said parties in interest, coming regularly
on to be heard, and on readin and filing
the petition of Samuel L. Trea well, plain-
tifi‘, herein, and after hearing Samuel C.
Mount, Esq ,‘tof Counsel for said plaintiff
in favor of said motion and Daniel T.
Walden, Esq.,of Counsel for defendants,
in opposition thereto, it .is hereby on mo-
tion of said Samuel C. Mount, ordered that
said Efingham H. Nichols. roduceI and
discover to the plaintifi‘ herein, the afore-
said books, papers, and. documents, and
forthwith deposit the same with the Clerk
of the Court of New York, and leave the
same there on depositfor the space of thirty
days, and that said plaintifi‘, his attorneys,
agents and counsel be at liberty to inspect
and peruse the same at all reasonable times
and to take copies thereof, or extracts there-
from, from time to time as he may be ad
vised, so as to enable said plaintifi' to use
the same upon the trial of the issues joined
in this action.

In this connection the following may be
some interest.

Wasnmo'roiv, Ma 27,—The central
branch of the Union acific Railroad Com.
Eany have a modest little claim against the
- nitcd States for an additional subsidy of
$16,000 per mile for 400 mil'es‘more than the
department has allowed them, and also for
the land subsidies proportioned tosucli ad-
ditional 400miles, the whole amounting in
value to about eight millions of dollars.
Mr. Phillips, one of the members from-Kan-
sas, on Feb. 25 introduced a bill to enable

' the company to go before the court (if claim

with a right of appeal to the Supreme Court,
and obtain a final judgment for these money
and land subsidies. is Friday last an effort
was made to smuggle this bill through .as a
mere private bill. This fraud was pointed
out and the Speaker ruled properly that it
was not a private bill. Today, the Judici-
ar Committee having the field for their

pu‘t thisimeasurethro'ugh without any ex-
‘ lanai on. of the large interestsinvolved.
r. S eer promptly made the point of order
that as the bill involved an appropriation of
money, it must go tetheCOmmittec of the
Whole. Speaker laiuevery properly sus-
tained the oint,‘and the result was instant
death to th pro’misin little job. It died
without even a squea . There is no fear
that it will ever be reached this session.

There is hardlya day in which the police
fre‘fmit made the recipients of a tale of woe
founded upon spontaneous intimacy and
misplaced confidence. Sometimes a gentle
stranger aecosts the rural visitor as Mr.
Huggins of Utica. He replies, “You are
mistaken; my name is Muggins, and I live '
in Skaneateles.” The stranger apologizes

a confederate comes up, calls Mr. Muggins

by his. own name, and is valuable about

matters and things in Skaneatelcs. This is

a plan by which even municipal dignitaries

from the interior are sometimes beguilcd.

It was pract'med a few days ago in Boston

upon a New England Deacon, who owns a

stocking mill in Massachusetts. He came
to the city, sold his wares, and met a man

who accosted him as an old acquaintance,
and in the flush of the renewed intimacy,
got all his money.

But a commoner and coarser method of
the predatory class is to approach the victim
with frank and honest sincerity, saying, “I
don’t know. you, but I like your looks.”
This seems universally effective. A day or
two ago, a singularly striking instance of
the efficacy of this plan of plunder was seen
in New York. An Indian trader-from the
Far West, one of those men whose lives are
a continual struggle for existence by means
of the exercise of the sharpest and strongest
faculties of ~observation and judgment, 9
man who had gained a fortune by sagacious
trade on the border, risked his life and lost
his property by means of this idiotic confi-
dence. A total stranger met him on the
cars and entered into conversation with
him. He opened his heart to him instantly,
and on arriving in this city they had already
become“‘pardners.’.’ InStead of spending his

the ostensible “Sister” of his new Pylades.
As a matter of course, he was found the
next morning wandering half-naked in the
streets, drugged almost to unconsciousness.
His trunk and his money are in the keeping
of his friend and his friend’s sister, wherev-
er-they may be.

It is hard to be compelled to preach a
sermon of cynicism. But unless every
stranger learns the lesson of wholesome dis-
trust, hc would do well to stay away from
large cities. A man who forces him’scll‘
upon your acquaintance with offers of friend-
ship and service, intends to rob or swindle
you. No one will fall in love with you at
first sight, and if he tells you so, he is after
your pocketbook. ’But this may be said
and repeated to the end of time, without
puting men and women 'on their guard
against swindlers. Vanit‘y'is stronger than
common sense or experience. Noifinu is
safe from the'confidcnce man, unless he is
convinced of his own ugliness. To say to
the average mortal, “I like' your looks,” in
the phrase and manner suited to his degree-
of cultivation, is thesures‘t way to convince
him of your own taste and candor. There
are few men living who are not more pleas-
ed, in their heart of hearts, at a personal
compliment than at any eulogy upon their
goodness or their righteous fame. The con-

reliance .upon human vanity. His only
chance of a livelihood is- making people be-
lieve that their prepossessingappearance

how easy a task it is. A man of ordinary
ignorance may hold the severest views of
flattery in the abtarsct, but he hears nothing
but truth and discretion in the voice of the
concrete fiatterer. There would seem to be
noIremedy for the confidence game, except

been so much laughed at, and never grant
your acquaintance except upon a proper in.
troduction; and if any man or woman tells
you he likes your looks. the best way is to
call the pollen—N. Y. Tribune.
