THE FERRY OBSEQUIES.
[Concluded from First Page]
the legal. profession one of its soundest
, couns'elbrs and most eloquent advocates; the
community in which he lived, an accom-
plished Christian gentleman; and his family
such ahusband and father as only such a
husband could be to a loved and loving wife
and such a father to an affectionate and de-
voted daughter.
(Itis said, sir, that death loves a shining
mark. This cannot well be more strikingly
exemplified than in the fact that since the
adjournment of the last Congress we have lost
an ex-Prcsident, a Vice-President, a Senator
of the United States and six members elect-
ed to this House. The state which I have
the honor. in part to represent has been es-
pecially bereaved. Within the short space
of I less than one year she has been deprived
of two Senators: Buckingham, who had
rendered most distinguished service and been
loved and honored as a State rarely loves and
litiuorsa son however eminent, whose dc-
cease gave expression to some of the most
tour-hing culogicscvcr delivered in this Cap-
itol; and Funny, no less worthy and distin-
guished, whose private virtues and public
services we arc now eiidcavoriiig to co.iinieiiio—
iate. TI 'r fame belongs not alone to (‘on-
llt‘I'IICllI, but to thc~couutry ; but we cherish
wiih a just State pride the fact that' they
\wie horn and lived and are» buried on our
own soil. Their good names are indelibly
ciirznved on the hearts of the people of the
Stale and their graves are shrines which vir-
iue and patriotism and religion will forever
venerutc. She has also been deprived of a
distinguished Representative who has just
been borne to. his last resting-place in the
bosom of her soil and in the presence of his
mourning constituency.
, The event we are now considering is but
the reiteration of the solemn and oft-repeated
lesson of mortality—another impressive re-
minder that “man walketli 13 a vain shadowJ’
Public honors and high position furnish no
exemption. The all-wise and almighty
Power Who decrees the mandate, and the
messenger who executes it, respect no dis-,
iiuctions of rank or condition. The niocker
at human pride followsman .into the high
places of the land, and there, as well as in
the lowliest, repeats to him the startling
message, and the sadness with which its ut-
terance sometimes falls upon our cars cannot
be more forcibly illustrated than by.a recur-
rence to the fact that I am now addressing
the House in the place of a lamented col-
league who but a few days‘ since was in the
enjoyment of his accustomed health and had
prepared himself for and expected to perform
the duty, but has himself been called to his
final rest. At the proper time in the course
of these proceedings that voice from the
dead, speaking in language much more beau-
tiful and eloquent than any I can express,
will be read as one of the addresses on this
occasion, It will help to remind us that we
are constantly living in the shadow of the
grave, and, alas! too often allow ambition
and covctousness and pride to conceal they
shadow or drive it from our thoughts; and
to teach us that it will be true wisdom to
pause in our career of worldlines's and .re~
member there-is something within our reach
higher than earth’s highest honors, which,
if attained, will take away the sting of death
and crown us with immortal life. In the
last years Senator FEnnr, trusting in the di-
vine promise, earnestly and humbly sought
that happy end.
I offer the following resolutions:
Resolved. That the House has received with
profound sorrow the announcement of the death
of Onnis S. Fennr, late a Senator from the State
of Connecticut.
Resolved, That as a mark of respect to the
memory of Mr.'FERRY the busmess of the House
be now suspended, that proper. tributes may be
paid to his public and private Virtues. .
M r. SEELYE. Mr. Speaker, I am quite
certain that the relations of no other one here
with Senator FERRY were the same as my
own. The gentleman who has preceeded me,
and those who are to follow,as also those who
listen, knew him only in the varied relations,
public and social, of mature life, but he and
I were boys together, sharing with one
another the gladness of childhood and the as-
pirations and purposes and hopes of youth.
From the little village where his father and
mine were near neighbors and friends, and
. where he and I were playmates and school-
mates, there is no other Representative now
here, and it is upon this account that I have
been requested to say a few words respecting
his early life. It was spent in Bethel, Con-
necticut,‘where he was born August 15, 1823.
Iielwas a restless, eager, daring, boy, not
fondér’Of Work than boys usually are, but a
leader in all boyish sports, from which no one
of his companions was wont to go home with
a dirtier face or‘i'ith hair more tangled and
clothes more torn than be. But‘ exuberant
as he was of life and vigor, he was neither
rough nor rude nor coarse even as a boy. I
never knew him, as he grew larger, to tyran-
nize over smaller boys, though I have often
seen him show a sort of chivalric adherence
to the weaker side? Generous, high-minded,
‘ and a universal favorite, the boy was father
of the man.
In school he always had his lessons, though
no one ever knew when or where or how he
got them; he was not early fond of study,
but if he ever worried his teacherg by his rest-
less inattention, he never wearied them by
obliging them to repeat their instructions.
If, however, not an early student, he was as
aboy a great reader of books, especially in
the line of poetry and history and romance,
of which his father’s library furnished the
largest collection then in the village, and‘
from whose stores he was as fond of bringing
feasts for the fancy of his boyish friends as
they were of feeding upon them. His earli-
est aspirations were for a literary life; and I
doubt if he ever dreamed of his later achieve-
ments in the Senate and the administration of
public affairs. With unwonted freedom, even
for a.boy, he told his day-dreams, and the
boys -who heard them, and over whom his
words could throw a spell like that felt by all
who listened to him in his riper years, never
doubted they would all come true.
But his lot was cast where other occupa-
tions than play or revelling in romances or
building castles in the air were scon pressed
upon him. In that little village there was no
(lakefar 'm'cnte view of life. Everybody had
something to do and was expected to do it.
Hardly any vice seemed more repugnant to
the Busy workers there than idleness, and
about the most condemning epithet among
them which could be applied to man or we.
man was laziness or shiftlessness. There
were no rich people; and had there been, I
hardly see how they could have lived a life of
leisure without being stung like drones by the
busy bees around them. A child's world of
fancy there soon found itself’i'n‘ter‘sectcd by
the hard world-bf. fact, and ORRIS FERRY
soon learned that the actual present had a
work for him no less than the far-off future.
While in the dreamy fancies of his childhood
there might have been prefigured, had there
only been the eye to see the picture, that far-
reaching meditativeness 'in' which “the heaven
which lay about‘liis infancy” still stretched
before thervision ‘of'liis later years; I think he
owed also whatever persistence of purpose
and energy of work he afterward revealed as
much to these early conditions which sur.
rounded him as to his original endowment.
But the fearlessness with which he exercised
his purpose, the courage of his convictions,
the bravery with which he could throw aside
all arbitrary domination and be a freeman and
a hero, this'was not dependent upon any cir-
cumstances of his early life; this was his orig—
inal possession, as conspicuously his in the
earliest rcvcalings of himself as in the latest,
I and would have been revealed as his wherever
he had been born or however bred.
But there were other traits prominent in
his later life which were, doubtless, partly
due to his early surroundings. The religious
faith, which was the ever-brightening crown
of hismaluresl years, was, I cannot but think,
' \
greafivaidcd by the associations of his child-
hood. In the center of the village where was
his Childhood’s home—central alike in location
and in the power‘it represented—was the Con-
gregational meeting-house, where the only
church then in the place gathered'with its.
' congregation for public worship, and to'which -
were drawn and from which dispersed the
currents by which—as was originally the case
in almost every New Engtand town and vii-
lage-'—the life of that community was directed
and sustained. _
men and women there; sharp, too, a: a bar-
gain as they were, and eager to get gain, no
one with much knowledge of them but would
soon discover that in their thoughts and ques-
tionings the next world had no less ”promi-
nence than this. The warmest discussions
cverheld among them were on the highest
themcs’of theology; discussions which, how-
ever wide their raugc, were always brought
for settlement, in the last appeal, to Scripture
and to common sense. It was quite natural
that the children breathing such an air should
early learn to talk about these things, and to
think about them, also, for themselves, and
quite to be expected, also, that, one like On-
nis Fennv, always unwilling to have his
thoughts constrained, and always unable to
have then} concealed, should in his freedom
of inquiry find things where common sense
and Scripture seemed to clash, and in his
feai-lessness of expression should declare this
seeming contradiction without proviso. Hc
early avowed his skepticism respecting all
religious things, though he always had a cer—
tain seriousness of soul which never suffered
him to he a scoll’er. In later years, when by
a further and profouudcr exercise of this same
freedom of inquiry, he became a sincere be-
liever—showing again that it is only the shal.
low draught at the fountain of free thought
-w‘.iicliintoxicates and deep draught which
s more one again-it was not strange that the
living faith with which his soul was penetra-
ted should find its fitting expression and live-
liest exercise in that form of doctrine and
mode of conduct which, though for 'years rc-
pugnaut to his convictions and his habits,
were yet the earliest, as they were the latest
and most intimate, associations of his life.
I do not speak of him as a man, so afifec-
tionate, so truthful, so jar-sighted, so coura-
geous, with his commandipg presence and
controlling speech; for as such he has already
been and is to be aptly portrayed by those
who knew him only as a man. And I trust
I shall be pardoned for dwelling at such
length upon these thoughts of his boyh
which makes, his memory very dear to
and which awaken a sense of personal lossbe-
yond my power to express, as I think of the
hopes we both had cherished of reviving here
the intimacy of our boyhood and of the ex-
pectation which had been‘ to me very bright
and dear, that I migh find from his superior
wisdom and wider knowledge of public alfaii‘s
a much-needed aid.
Mr. GARFIELD. Mr. Speaker; I have
never in this House performed a duty so sad
and so sacred as that which is devolved upon
me today. One week ago last Friday our
late beIOVed friend and associate, Hon. H. H.
SrAnanarnnn, of Connecticut, came to my
seat and urgently requested that I should ad-
dress the House on the resolutions in refer-
ence to the death of Senator Fennr. After
speaking with me for a few moments, he was
called to the chair to preside and remained
there perhaps half an hour; but not feeling
well, he soon passed out, and never entered
the Hall again: . .
The very.evening when he was stricken
.with his mortal disease he had cdmpleted or
very nearly completed the remarks which he
proposed to offer to the House on this occa.
sion.“ I have not had the heart even to keep
my promise to him. Icould not think of this
subject without being overwhelmed with the
sense of the double loss; but I am sure the
House will permit me, in place of any remarks
of my own, to do what our departed friend
can no longer do' for himself, to read the
speech as he left it. I have filled a few
blanks and added here and there a word to
supply the final tevision which his own band
would have made; and thus the dead speaks
for the.dead friend whom he soon followed.
I read, and ask that it may go into the REC-
onn as his speech, the following
REMARKS PREPARED BY THE LATE HON.
STARKWEATHER.
Mr. Speaker, since the adjournment of the
last Congress, God in‘His sovereign wisdom
has removed from the service of the nation
Senator Onnis S. Fennr, one of its distin-
guished and trusted councillors.
At any time the death of a Senator in the
II. H.
midst of his labors, so conspicuous for ability,
for patriotism, and for a conscientious devo.
tion to duty as was .Mr. Franny, is a greatna-
tional loss. His departure from us, proceed-
ing but a few short hours that of- Vice-Presi-
dent Wilson, and following so close that of
Senator Sumner and Senator Buckingham,
and others illustrious in the national councils,
heightens and emphasizes the bereavement.
The death of Mr. Funnr is a peculiar loss/to
the State that he served and honored, and
whose memory she cherishes with an affec-
tionate admiration. Throughout the Com-
monwealth, among the learned, the founders
of our academies, universities; in our common
schools, among the ministers of religion, and
the humble worshipers of God—along all its‘
hills, in the Sunday-schools that he loved,
among learned judges and eminent counsel-
ors, among the sons of toil for whom he spoke,
among the good and the great, and in every
cottage of the poor—there is great’sadness.
Twice within a few months death has.inva-
(led the sanctuary of our hearts, and taken
from us our trusted public servants and most
honored citizens. No two men of this gener-
ation, among all the honored names of our
Commonwealth, could touch so many homes
with a sense of personal loss, While their
work here is finished, there is left to us the
reflection that for this life our pleas'ant rela-
tions are severed forever.
Around us each dissevcred chain
In sparkling ruin lies,
And earthly bands can ne’er again
Unite the broken ties.
- Mr. FERRY was born in the town of Bethel,
Fairficld County, on the 15th day of August,
1823. His father, Starr Ferry, was an enter-
prising business man of that town—a citizen
known for his good sense, integrity, andsocial
position in a community remarkable for its
intelligence and culture. ,
He was early apprenticed to his father’s
trade, and in after-life he had a just pride‘ of
his proficiency in his calling. An incident
occurred at the last session of Congvs that
illustrates his character. As an advocate was
explaining before the Committee on Patents
the mysteries of a certain invention, lie was
surprised to learn that the chairman of the
'committee had learned the art when a boy
and was still in advance of the advocate and
experts in the thoroughness of his knowledge
of the subject. Early, however, the love of
books and of study took possession of him
and he'left his trade to enter on a course of
preparation for college. But of this the
learned and distinguished gentleman from
Massachusetts, EMT. SEELYEJ the companion
of his boyhood can more appropriately speak.
In passing, it is sufficient to remark that as a
boy he gave high promise of success.
At the age of seventeen he entered Yale
College, and here, says one well qualified to
judge—-
His tine powers of of mind soon found a
prccmtive recognition, particularly in the e-
portment of literature and debate. He early
became one of the editors of the Yale Literary
Magazine; was also a successful competitor
for the Townsend literary prize; and uniform-
ly stood among the very highest in anything
that required elaborate or extemporaneoue
address. His prestige thus gained in letters,
together with his hearty social qualities, and
his fine personal appearance, secured for him
.a marked popularity as well in circles with-
out as within the college.
He graduated in 1844 at the age of twenty-
one, and after a year he entered the office of
the late Chief-Justice Thomas B. Butler as
a student at law, was soon admitted to the
bar, and became his partner.
Herc his associates were most fortunate.
J udgc Butler was remarkable, not only for
his legal learning, but for his varied require-
ments, his love of justice,‘and his generous
social qualities. Mr. Fennr’s advent to the
bar was in other respects fortunate in its sur-
Hard workers as were ,the ‘
u‘.’
roundings. The bar of Fairfield County
and the adjoining counties of New Haven,
and Litchfield at this time had many eminent
lawyers. There were the venerable Charles
Hawley, Roger ShermanBaldwin,~ the Ing— ,
ersolls, Judges Butler, Seymour, Dutton—all'
learned in the ‘mysteries of jurisprudence,
the first two becoming chicf-justides of our
high court. Besides these there werca score
of younger men, Minor, Beardsley, 1 Loomis,
White, Carter, Beach, Harrison: and. others,
near his own age, of rare ability. at no
time in our history'h’as there been a greater
array of talent at the bar than this. It is a
sufiicient cemmendation of ‘Mr. 'annv, and
not a little remarkable, that within a few
years from his admission to the bar he placed
himself at the head of his profession.
Soon after his admission to the. bar Mr.
FEnnv’ married the daughter of Governor
Bissell, and the daughter and wife, in woman.
1y virtues,'in social culture, and in the sweet
graces of charity and religion, is worthy of
her illustrious father and. husband.
hen yet a young man he was early lion-
ored at home. He was successively chosen
judge of probate, State attorney, and State
senator. Each of these positions he fi led
well.-
’ It was my good fortune to be a member of
the Legislature of Connecticut in 1856, and
to be a member of the judiciary committee
of which lie was chairman. It was then of.
ten 0. subject of remark among men eminent
at the bar, that Mr. 'FEnnr, (then but thirty-
two,) not only as a debator, but a legislator
had the rarest. ability, and at that early day
he gave full promise ofjthose great qualities
which hare for eight. years past- been the ad-
miration of his colleagues in the Senate. lie
was then as ever, brave, true, great.
We are greatly indebted to Mr. FEnnv for
his public addresses before the people of our
State. His logic and his eloquence were i
Sis tible on these occasons. . _,
Mr. FERRY was elected to the Thirty-sixth
Congresslfrom Connecticut and took his seat
in this Huse in 1859 amid the stirring scenes
immediately preceding the rebellion. This
body then embraced many men of . marked
character and ability. Here were the great
leaders of the South, men schooled in politics
and accustomed to rule ; and from the North
came also many men of great ability, but
mostly new to the public service. '
Mr. FEnnv from the first took a conspicu-
ous part in the discussions of the House, and
was one of 'the committee of thirty-three
appointed by the Speaker on “ somuch of the
President's message as relates to the perilous
conditiOn of the country." Early in the de-
bates he delivered a speech which was regard-
ed by his associates as very able and effect-
ive, and expressing at that time the true po-
sition of its most thoughtful statesmen. His
analysis of the state of the country at that try-
ing epoch and his views of the duty of the
government now read like prophecy.
At the close of his two years in the House
he raised and commanded a‘ regiment, and
served in the army with honor to the close of
the war. His whole heart was in the work;
and he devoted his entire time and ability to
its duties. .When the war was over he resum-
ed his profession; but the next year, 1866, he
was elected to the Senate and served. a full
term, and was reelected in 1872.
The public career of Mr. Fannr while in
the Senate has beeh. so faithfully delineated
in the main by his distinguished associates
that there is little need to recount them here;
and, besides, I feel how inadequate are any
words of mine to express the reverence and
admiration.
He entered the Senate at the commence-
ment of the Fortietli Congress. Great ques-
tions, among them the problems of recon-
stsuction, were on our hands; with these,
new relations of the dominant and the late
subject classes as they emerged from a state
of war. -
I have seen it suggested by those who have
failed fully to apprehend the position of ’ltir.
FERRY that he was unduly conservative in
his tendencies on questions of reconstruction.
On the contrary, it can be said to his creditt
that on these measures be led the advance.
His speeches in the Senate and in the coven-
tions at home show that from the outset he
maintained with masterly ability not only the
right of the nation, but its duty to secure
liberty, enfranchisement, and civil rights to
those who had been slaves. It is true, in con-
nection with many leadi men of the party,
be early favored a large amnesty to those who
had been in rebellion against the Government.
But in all his work in the Senate his noble
utterances in' regard to the povver of the na-
tion to suppress rebellion, hisdenunciations of
secession, his appeal for justice for the slave,
ally him indissoulubly with the great repub-
lican leaders whose fame is immortal.
It would be a pleasant service to quote
from his speeches and rehearse his acts' as
proofs, if they were needed, of his fidelity
to liberty. his faith in the indestructabili-
ty of the nion. There are no nobler acts or
utterances on record. But I must not detain
the House longer with this sketch while oth-
ers wait to unfold with better chosen wor
his character and services. ‘
Before closing, however, let me refer to the
crowuining glory of his life. Mr. Fanny
had a strong religious element in his charac-
ter. This was with him a great controlling
force, and not a sentiment. *It added greatly
to his strength,'and upheld» him not only in
great emergencies but in the daily labors of
life. He 1 to contemplate and discourse
of the In te~ God and the glory of, His
reign. He dwelt with rapture on the majes-
tic prophecies of Isaiah and the grand poems
of the .Hebrew minstrel king. His discour-
ses on religion became a part of his beautiful
life-work in his home. I
It was most beautiful and grand, amid fail-
ing strength and long years of pain, to hear
him discourse of— '
Rest at last,
Repose complete, eternal ;
Love, rest and home.
N o cloud obscured the effulgence of his
hope or dimmed his vision. Clear and high
his intellect and his faith rose above all stems
and darkness, and sustained him in sweet
companionship amid the unrevealed mysteries
of pain. As his end drew near 110 came back
to his home, after a brief absence. There,
under his own roof, with the angels of his
household about him, he pasSed to his rest.
Thinking of trials past, and. knowing as
we do how well he had wrought for the fu-
ture, trusting in the merits of his dear Lord,
he could repeat the sweet lines of Boner——
Beyond the parting and the meeting
I shall be soon :
Beyond the farewell and the greeting,
Beyond this pulse’s fever beating,
o I shall be soon.
Love. rest, and home 1
Sweet hopc!
Lord. tarry not, but come.
Beyond the Irostgihnin and the fever,
I shall be soon:
. Beyond the rock waste and the river.
Beyond the ever and the never,
I shall be soon.
Love. rest, and home!
Sweet hope!
Lord.torry not, but come. .
Ay, the sweeter words of inspiration—in
the volume of the book is written: “Lo, I
come quickly. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
The resolutions offered by Mr. PHELPS
were agreed to unanimously.
And then, on motion of Mr. PHELPS, (at
four o’clock and forty minutes p. m.) the
House adjourned. -

CRIME—POLITICAL—SPBING Tnamz— Peon.
anxosx, Feb. 14,1370.
rEnEan claims. __ .
There has been; tin-epidemic of crime with-
in the past week, the prevailing characteris-
tics of each case being cold-blooded cruelty.
The city was shocked by the murder of a
peculiarly revolting circumstances, which
was followed by the slaughter of Simmons
by Fuchs. This case is the most horrible on
record. The murdered man was made drunk,
so drunk as to be unconscious. Then ‘IIIS
murderer deliberately chopped his head off,
and cutting his , body into small pieces, bak-
.ed the ‘most of it in a cook stove till it could
not be distinguiShed from any other ment.
He had got the body almost finnhed when
he was interrupted. The head and one leg
remained, and by these the crime was discov-
ered. The only motive for this horrible
crime was the displacement of the .murderer
by the m ir-lired 111.111 fro n a situation worth
$1.50 per day. Fuchs, the murderer, is a
low German, and as complete a brute as was
ever suffered to live. He manifests no feel—
ing in the m-itter, and does not seem to realize
that he has donoanything especially wrong.
On the contrary, he was rather pleased when
taken to jail to find himself the object of so
much notice. Close on the heels of this
atrocity was the more than horrible murder
of an entire family on Long Island. ‘An old
man‘ named Skidmore, with three others,
laborers, etc, lived in an out-oI-the-way
plum». Near Deer-Park one night last week
the. house wag burned down, and in the
-in')rning the charred remiiiisbf four were
found in the ruins. There can be no reason-
able doubt but that the inmates were mur-
dered, and the house fired to hide the atroci-
ty; and what adds horror to the crime is a
tolerable welltsupported conviction that the
deed was done by very near relatives of the
old iiilin. lie was aquarrelsome man, very
fond of litigation, and was at feud with all
his sons. The testimony taken at the inquest
points towards these sons as the criminals.
But the witnesses were the lowest of the low
—so low, indeed, that nothing they could say
would be taken in a court of justice. '
What is the cause of this Niagara of crime at
this time? The hard times cannot be charged
with it, for in all these cases -tlie motives
were not gain. Among the classes for re-
moved from unit, crime follows crime in,
rapid succession, and every case seems toolie
more horrible than its predecessor. Where
is the scientist who can give an explanation
of the causes and can suggest a cure?
POLITICAL ~
The liberal Republicans of the city con-
tinue to meet every few days, and resolve
that they will continue to labor for .tbc pur—
ification of the Government and the restora-
tion of integrity in officials. From the
length of their resolutions, and the loudness
of their bellow, those who did not know
,might suppose that there was actually such
a party as the “Liberal Republicans," and
might suppose that it had vitality. Don't let
it alarm you.
walks down the street, it is customary to ob-
serve “there goes the Liberal Republican
party.” Gen. Iohn, and abouts dozen others
are all that are left of the men who killed
poor old Horace Greeley, and they would
not be left if they were of sufficient impor-
tance to give an office, or any position of
honor, in the Republican party to. They
meet and resolve, and bellow, and have their
' speeches reported, as a means of. advertising
that they are still alive,—and in the market.
They are Irying to create the impression that
they are strong enough to be worth buying and
are horribly disappointed that neither of the
dominant parties will put in a bid for them.
It is a noticeable fact that after the Greeley
fiasco the liberals still continue to believe
that the Government needed purifying, but
that it would haVe to be done through the old
parties. It is equally noticeable that each
individual Liberal, quite as firmly helieve
that the partylthat could best-rescue the Gov-
ernment from ruin was the one that could
and would give .him a good, Warm place.

him that he did more damage than if: he :hsd
actively opposcd‘him. Still, the Democracy
of New York will present Tilden, and trust
to the power of party drill to whip .in the
~malcontents in the West and South. Tilden
will go into the Democratic Convention with
more money behind him than any candidate
yet spoken of, and we all know what money
means in a Democratic Convention. ' But he
will not be nominated. The Democracy of
the rural districts are suspicious of the mon-
ey power of 'New York, as they have a
right to be. .1. ,
TIIE nsrunuoaxs
Of our city w'ere in favor,’ very strongly, of
Roscoe Conklin. But of late a very strong
feeling is showing itself for Bristow, the
Secretary of the Treasury. Bristow is mak-
ing hosts of. friends by his vigorous prosecu-
tion of the whiskey swindlers, and every
conviction that is procured sweeps him so
much closer to the Presidential chair. If he
is the level-headed man that his friends say
he is, he stands very close to the head. It
would be very grateful to the staunch Re-
publicans of Kentuckey to have one of their
number so honored, and as the Secretary is
showing his fitness to rule over a few things,
it is not improbable that he may be called to
rule over many.
run SPRING TRADE.
The Spring trade in this city is already
opened, though the snow which put in a tar-
dy appearance has given the furodealers a few
days of grace. The large retail dealers have
not time to. stop to complain of the times and
I doubt if any of them want to. They have
found the way to abolish hard times by put-
ting their goods down ‘ to selling .prices.
They know exactly what Mr. Greeley meant
when he said “the way to resume‘ is to re-
sume." A. T. Stewart&Co. when question-
ed about the prospects for the season ahead,
and that last month they had sent out more
goods than ever before in the same time.
Their books for January showed 100,000
packages delivered, an increase of 10,000
over the same month of last year. They
also report that they find collections easier,
and little perceptible abatement in the quali-
ty of- goods demanded. The package trade
last year, spite of the high postage was be-
tween 15,000 and 20,000 packages. It is as-
tonishing how popular this system of send-
ing goods is at the far West. I speak from
perSonal observation. The women of Col-
orado and Wyoming do not intend to look
like Guysif they are a week by rail from the
shops of Broadway. They get their samples
and patterns from New York direct, and the
consequence is that they are, as a rule, often
better dressed than their sisters nearer civili-
zation, who take what the merchants choose
to bring them.
THE POOR.
The different charitable organizations of
the city have their hands full just now. St.
John’s Guild, the best and most practical of
all of them, have 20,000 souls, or rather
bodies, depending upon them for support.
It is a sight to see'the throng at their build-
ings every day drawing their rations. The
halt, the blind, the lame, the sick and the
well, they are all represented. All who are
known to be deserving get, each week,
enough of plain food to support life, and
such cldthing as can be procured. It is a
noble charity and is doing a world of good.
