Dali: GiznrrnzflOne of the special inci-
dents-of iiiterest, the past week, to the home
' reader, was’thc "‘Third Annual Meeting and
Banquet of'the Yale Alumn .” It transpired
:rt'W'illar'd’s Hotel, “’ednesday evening, and
was largely and notably attended. There
were. large nrrmbers of resident graduates,
many visiting, and some who came specially
toatlcndthc meeting. There were prercnt
(‘hiel‘ Justice Waite, Judges Strong and
Swayne of the Supreurc Court, Attorney-Gen.
I’ierrepout, P. M.-Gcn. Jewell, Peter Parker,
President of the Association , Prof. Thomas
’l‘hatcher, of the College; D. C. Gihuun,
- President of Hopkins] University, Baltimore;
Judge it. w. Shelfey, of Va.; Judge Advo-
cate Gen. Dunn, Asst-Sec. Treasury Burn-
brag. Senator Dawes, cx—Congressman S. W.
Kellogg, Col. W. P. Johnston of Lee Univer-
sity, Eugene Osborn of Norwalk, and scores
of less noted Alumni; Ben Perlcy Pcorefi
the. Boston Journal; White of the Tribune,
aml other journalists. The “menu" was of
the choicest and dainticst character, and the
fluid cxtmct'of grape was frozen and lapped
with a spoOn so as to pvercomc any preju-
dices against wine drinking. . ‘The table was
most elaborately decorated with choicest
tlowersand tropical fruits. Landlord Cake
put up L the reputation of his culinary depart-
ment—already the best in the city—to a still
higher notch, by his superb side-dishes of
canvass-back ducks Irrapin stews, and new
and nameless desert. But the features of
the evening wore the toasts and their apt and
_.witty responses. Prof. Thacher responded
to the first toast, “ Our Alma Mater.” Kel-
logg Of Waterbury, responded to the second
toast, “OilpSfrflster, Associations,” and as might
have been expected made thc,best and witti-
est. speech Of the'evcnin'g'. It was designed
to have Chief-Justice Waite respond to the
roast, but he declined, and insisted that Kel-
logg should act .as his substitute. As the
Chief-Justice is not an off-hand speaker, the
company gained by the exchange. Judge
Strong responded to the third toast. “Uni-
versities and Collegespresided over by gradué
ates of Yale, the danghters—in-law of our Al-
rna Mater," this was happily responded to by
'Prest. Gihnan. “The Centennial year of the
Nation,” was the next toast, and was re-
sponded to‘ by Judge Sheffey. “Yale in the
Government of the Nation,” was spoken to
by Attomr y-Gcn. Picrrepont in a speech that
was constantly interrupted by applause and
laughter. An original poem was composed .
and read by Dr. C. C. Cox of the City Board
of Health, which elicited much applause.
Yung Wing, the Chinese Commissioner, and
graduate of Yale; who has in charge the one
hundred and fifteen Chinestiyouths being ed-
ucated in this country, gave a most intensely
interesting account of his work and the pro-
gress of education in the flowery kingdom. ‘.
There was a two hours fight in the House
over the question as to whether C(ix should
"be swern in” on taking the chair as Speaker
pro tem. The oath is precisely the same be
taken by the members. It was resisted by
the more cautious Democrats for fear that’it
would fix Cox permanently in‘ the chair, in
the event of death before the close of this
Congress, of which, we are sorry to say,
there are serious fears. A Cox cannot feel very
proud of his selection, for it is On the tongrle
of nearly all his side of the House that thgy
put. him there to keep him still, for he wins
killing his party while cavorting and squal-
Iing about on the floor. Our Democratic
friends are really ina most pitiable condition
lighted Tastes will.
House, and having made fools of themselves,
they might have had some show for carrying
the next Presidential election.” It is bijt
a few hours tince, that we heard “one 6f
them” cursing their luck in having can'ie'd
this Congress. Beside the irreconcilable all-
tagonisms on the financial question, tlie
northern and western democrats are in col”;-
stunt dread and terror for fear some hol-
headcd and half reconstructed brother from
the South will kick over the traces as Beir
. Hill and Tucker did, and the Southern meni-
bers are scolding and berating because their
Northern allies wont show public sympathy
enough with the “lost cause” to aid them in
uniting their constituents to the Northerl’l
wing. This latter they do, and must do, in
order to gain and hold themselves together as
a National party. ’ ' ’ c,
It is obedience to this inexorable demand
from the unregenerated Democracy of the
South, that rebels, downright and avowed,
such as Hamblcton, are appointed to office;
It is in acquiescence to such demands that all
the maimed Union soldiers were removed
from their places about the House. It was";
. “tab to this whale” that induced Ways and
Means Morrison to omit from the Congreg-
sional Directory all allusions to his military
record in the Union army. And more abject
still,——it was in this spirit that he personally
solicited the ernployes of the House—whd
last session had been in the habit of address:-
ing him as “Colonel" to please omit his milita}
73/ title when accosting him. '
It is the old and ruinous policy on the part
of the Northern Democracy come again, of
A
bowing their heads to the behests of thc': .
Sonthcrnallics and dominating masters. I
this alliance of the Northern bunker Democi
racy with the still disloyal and discontented
elements of the South, lie for greater and
graver perils to the Nation than in any legis-
lation they can consummate in regard to our}
currency. . ‘.

Senator Anthony has managed to introduce
a long needed bill to compel a faithful trans-
cript of each day’s Congressional proceedings
in the Record. He supported it in an able
and unsuswcrablc speech. '~ "'1 ,:
It is claimed that quite a large majority of
the House is in 'favOr- of Col. Tom Scott’s
Southern Pacific Railway scheme, but lead-
ing Democrats are ‘urging him to postpone ac-
tion until after the Presidential election. The
Colonel doesn’t see it tlrusly, and proposes to
test his strength next week, at the House end.
If it is “constitutional" to aid the Philadel-
phia Centennial five months show to. amil-
lion and a half, it ought to he constitutional
and politic to aid :1 great national enterprim
of this character, which is to endure for all
time.
Arrangements have been completed at the
P. 0. Department to send the New York
mails through from this city to Boston with-
out changc of cars,‘ commencing on the first
day of April next. Palace cars and sleepers
will also run through. The raierad steirmer
that used to transport the cars across the Sus-
quehanna at Havrc dc Grace is to convey
these cars around from Jersey City to the dock
and track of the N. Y. 15: N. H. Railroad at
the terminus of the Poctchester branch.
This will be joyful news to all who have oc-
casion to travel or send mail matter over this
route.
Judge Kelly occupied the attention of the
House yesterday, in the delivery of a really

As I write t'o-night, Prof. Seelye is addres-
sing thc Congressional Temperance Society,
at the Congregational church. Messrs. Ham~
mond and Bently still continue their wonder-
ful revival work. Among those under deep
conviction is E. W. Andrews, Esq., oncepas-
tor of'tlre old Broadway Tabernacle, then a
lawyer in Litchfield, and subsequently in the
army, and now from Michigan. There are
many in Connecticut who would rejoice to
learn of his sincere conversion. .
The Attomey-cheral has received a peti-
tion signed by many leading lawyers of Con-
necticut, and especially of New Haven, urg-
ing him to retain Marshal Peter R. Carll.
Mr. Pierrepont doesn’t hesitate to say'that he‘.
deems Judge Shipman’s finding as very con- '
demnatory, though evidently not designed so
to be by the Judge. The probabilities are
that a change will 'soon be made, and that
Mr. Bates" will be Mr. Carll’s successor.

Concord Division held a large and very in-
teresting meeting." on Friday eveninglast.
Mr. Pratt, of Pennsylvania, an aged and
eminent Temperance advocate was present.
He has been sent by the Grand Division of
Connecticut to organize, if possible, more
Divisions of the Order in this'vicinity.
This seems to be an excellent field for work
for about half of the existing Divisions are 10-
catcd in this county. ’ . ,
The Ladies’ Temperance meeting at Lock-
wood's Hall, on Sunday afternoén last, was
one of the largest yet held, the Hall being
crowded. Considerable annoyance was caused
by peeple leaving the room at intervals du-
ring the meeting, and as this has become a
steady practice it has been decided to make
an effort to check it. With this view the
doors hereafter will be closed after the open.
ing of the meeting, and no one will be allowed
to pass-out unless in case of necessity. As
'this rule has been made for the benefit of
those who, attend from right motives it is
hoped that all who' come will cheerfully ac-
cede to it. . ‘
Meetings will be held ’at the Rooms, this
week, on Monday and Wednesday eyenings,
at 7; o‘clock. ' I ~:
The Ladies Devotional meeting, this week
will be held on. Thursday~ afternoon, at 8

The Sacred Concert
We publish elsewhere the programme of
the Concert to be given at South Norwalk
on Friday evening next, under the direction
of Mr. D. E; Disbrow. The singers are said
we have no doubt that the entertainment will

The Boss D'Erina entertainments on next
Friday and Saturday evenings promise to be

poetry and song, though many of their Ameri-

give the numbers'for November and Decem-

making it cheaper they have made it none
the less attractive. The March number is,
as usual, elaborately illustrated, and the
letter-press is varied in character and there is
a good deal of it. The two great serial stories
by Bret Harte and Edward Evere‘t Hale are
both continued; it is seldom that two such

To THE Eanons on THE GAZETTE :- 3
The recent brief referencerin the Westport
column of the Gamma to “ Point Imperial".
as a place of publicburial, was not intended
as aistepping stone to controversy, but, inas-
much as your correspondent, Mr. M. E. Mead,
has seen fit to answer, it may net be improp-
or to speak further on a subject which has
cut seems to think a new burial ground is one
of the absolute needs of this place,~—t_hat our
population will so increase during, the" next'
half century, and the deaths be so numerori s
that decent burial will be one of those prob-
lems not easily brought to solution, but if he
will take the figures presented and go over
the cemeteries to which his attention was
called, he will have no difficulty in conclu-
ding that his fears are ill-grounded. While
desirable place of sepnltnre, and its proposed
new name—Grove Point Cemetery,” would
add thereto, the number and size of existing
burying grounds within ‘the limits 'of the
town should not be overlooked or forgo ten.
Most of these grounds, it must be admitted,
are in out—of-the-way places, are not kept, as
they should be, in order, being allowed torun
uy Ev "'ucua, muuun-uua “you, buy, “ventral:-
standing this, there is much space in them as
yet unoccupied or owned, and there are so
many attached by memory and association to I
the old, grounds which contains, perchance,
the ashes of “all that could die” of some
dear friends, that they would under no con-
sideration break the ties that hold them, by
change and the adoption of new. It is also
time that some of these grounds have been
nearly all taken up by constant burials during
a long period of years, but investigation
shows conclusively that there is still room for
all the interments which may be made during
many centuries yet to come. This reference
to centuries may startle some, but taking the
measure of the grounds, in feet and inches,
will convince the stoutest unbeliever that the
word is not inappropriately used. It cannot
be disputed that Point Imperial is one of
the most beautiful. spots in Westport, and
who can doubt~ that, if. converted into a buri-
al place the spirits of the departed wouldpf—
ten hover there, attracted by its indescribable
loveliness,—-its trees which cast luxurious
shades—its flowing river and sparkling near,—
its undulating surface—its isolation from the_
busy world, suggestiveqof quietness and peace
—-its birds which sing more sweetly because
less likely than elsewhere to be disturbed,
and who can doubt these spirits would return
to their far off home to t.ell other spirits that
they might come back wrth them and enjoy,
The dead, if deposited there, it .can be fan-
cied; would repose more calmly and peace-
fully by rcason of these surroundings, arid
the living could be more readily consoled in
their afflictions :‘ ’neath rugged clms and yew
trees shade.” These or similar thoughts nal-
nrally occur at one time 61: another in every
human heart, and it is pTeasant to indulge
them. The people of Westport are not, un-
like the rest of thcworld in these matters,
but they do not wish to ,have it said, or ever
implied, as it is, tacitly, by your correspond-
ent, that their advancement in population,
wealth and influence, for goOd, depends oh
the increase of the number of local burying
places. 'But in sketching the' pictwc of our
town’s pressing needs, a new cemetery is.
made to appear as the central figure. By
implication we are made to understand' that
things are getting too I contracted, that
.more room is needed, in short a cemetery
should be provided, the area of which shall
be such that the spirit after its ascent may not
be compelled to look carthward, but to see
its late house of clay subjected to perpendic-
nlar burial. Let none allow themselves to be
alarmed in discussing this question, though
there is danger that some man may say if the
discussion is protracted, that the best part of
the people of Westport is. under ground. '
That which is needed in this town is that
spirit. of enterprise which will induce the
building of horse railroads, houses, factories,
in short they want room, that the living may
expand. \Vhile they are net unmindfnl of
a subject, which must ultimately engage their
serious attention. At present they think the
may reduce town debts, decrease rates of tax-
ation; and place their town tr‘snry in- the
condition they have a right to expect it should
occupy. Living men alone can attend to
this business. In this connection,,“Let the
dead bury‘th'e dead,” has a force of meaning
which, rightly interpreted, cannot be gain- .
sayed. Let Point Imperial be offered to the
public in the shape of building lots. Lot on.
terprising men be encouraged to occupy and '
circulate their moneyand lrelp ”others to do
the‘ same, and it will be but a short time ere
the fallacy of adding to the list of cemete-
ries will be fully provcn. Living men can
be captivated by Point Imperial’s indescriba-
ble loveliness—lbs treesmwllich cast luxurious
shades—itsi'iversparkling‘ as it flows—its
undulating surface-.41; isolation from the busy
World,—‘—its suggestive quietness and peace,
and the birds will sing as sweetly for them in
the flesh as when they.~ small one” day be
clothed in the grim comments of the tomb.
