A CENTENNIAL ITEM.
A family in Minnesota wrote‘to know if a
coffee urn hearing date about 1770, would be
of enough interest to send to the Centennial.
it may meet similar questions in other minds
to say that articles bearing. no earlier date
than the last century,ane hardly of value un-
less they have addedinterest because they be-
longed to some personof note, or so peculiar
as to be éuriosities in themselves “without rc-,
gard to their age. The Centennial will not
not have place for half that is offered. "If of
peculiar model, such things are desired by
bric-a-brac collectors, and will increase in val-
ue with every decade. I warn my readers
who have old things they hope to partwith
for profit, not to expect too much for them,
as collectors are pretty stingyand shrew’d in
their dealings. When 'sold at auction, quaint
articles sometimes run up to handsome figures,
as for instance, an inlaid Japanese cabinet
lately sold at Leavitt’s, began at $40 andwas
knocked down at $400. An old delf coficegpot.
or a pewter onemay bring twenty-five dolilars,
fronl a collector, but the fancy prices seldom
ant into any hands but the auctioneers. .lf
persons wish their questions answered by let-
' tcr, I will remark that, the method of enclo-
sing a stamped envelope. will not be out of
place.. " ' _, 5 .
POLITICAL iuossir. ‘
The bold and uncompromising stand'taken
by Geo. Wm. Curtis, in opposition toinstruc-
ting the New York delegation for Conkling,
meets with the heart-lest approval of the best
Republicans of New York. It. is evident thnt
Coukling did not fall‘into the hands ‘o‘fithe best
class, and that fact has turned against him
many who would otherwise have given him a
very hearty support. To-day, ninestenths of ‘
the Republicans of the city ‘are throwing up
their hats for Curtis,and Conkling is in no po-
sition whatever to carry the delegation. 'And
may I whisper a word of advice to Republi-
cans everywhere ?' Don’t instruct. Don’t go
into the National convention with any pets,
' or with your hands tied for anybody. The
party never was made for a man. It has
work to do, and instead of being used as a
means of elevating individuals, it should use
individuals to do its. work. It is going to be
close work this year to elect any one, and if
there is the lightest forcing in the convention
~if the nominees cannot carry the united
strength of the party,the jig is up. The nomi-
nee must be not only the best man. in the
party, but the strongest. And wait till we all
get together and compare notes before deci-
ding as to that man. There must be' a very'
liberal spirit at that convention, Or we are
beaten to death. Mind, the democracy are
pressing Tilden vigorously, and with a con-
siderable degrcec of unanimity. A large sum
of money has been raised in this city by his
friends, and a bureau in his interest has been
established at Washington. A choice lot of
political bummcrs are there setting up things
for “Slippery Sam,” and they have hopes
that he will. sweep the platter. Tilden is the
shrewdest wire-puller living, and he stands a
good show for the nomination. The only
thing that stands in" his way is the forcible
enunciation of his hard money views, which
is against him in thef west,‘.but he issi‘nal't
enough to compromise that. If the demo-_
cracy of the west believe he can be elected,
they will‘ take him“, forthey- do" want post
offices. He can get more money behind him
than any one candidate mentioned.
THE nxnltrmrnn. .
The writer of these letters is pleased - to
find them of more use to readers than simply
for the news they give. As to news indeed,
it is a sorry task the correspondent has who
tries to get it up for papers who have every
item served by the 'telegraph‘a week before
his account can reach them.
The most a city correspondent c_an do of,
real value to his patrons is to reflect the opin-
ions of the metropolis, the topics of minor
. lntercst and such details as are hardly worth
paying for at five cents a word by telegraph.
Then .the subjects of .most interest in town
are the very ones which the editor‘ sternly
forbids to his luckiess writer. We corres-
pondents are made aware" that country road-
ers do not care to hear about theatres, lec-
turesrbooks and music, at all, but little about
the social, political, or club life so far distant
from theirs, in every way.‘ \Vriting N cw
York letters under these restrictiOns is not
making bricks without straw, but making
them all of straw, and pretty finely chopped
straw at that, so it is a matter of congratula-
tion to the writer when he finds hisparagraph
on the poor out of work7 hasnitIved some
one in Yates county to send him annpplica-
tion fora servant girl’to hip on alarm, offer-
ing her a good home for years if f‘she can suit.
The application was handed over to a lady
visitor of St. John’s Guild, who will.take
care that the demand is filled. Perso'n’fwho
make such requests in future will remember
that it is necessary for themto send satisfac-
tory references from people of standing as to
their ability to pay and treat a servant well,
before any one will be willing to risk going
to them. ‘ ~ ‘
No one who has any fcehng for the poor
can object to aid in the‘work of helping them
to homes and employment where the benefit
is as much on one side as the other. .. In the
country, where help is scarce, it isjpitiful to
see the numbers out of work ’here,‘_y:eti iii-is“
difficult to find those willing to leave tilecity.
A sewing machine agent lately. slant toNeW-
York for an operator to go to a western’cityf
offering a salary nearly twice what one could
get here, but not one woman could be induced
to take it, though it was offered to some
whose earnings were hardly enough to pay
their board, andwhose chances at best were
very precarious. The poor creatures will run
the risk of starving rather than go out of
town, where they would be welcome and
comfortable. -
The fact is, they will not leave the City so"
long as they can exist in it. To the poor bred
here, and accustomed to the city, there is
nothing so terrible as the country. They
cling to the city with all its wretchedncss, ig-
norant that there is anything better for them
outside. Half the unemployed girls in New
York are needed in the country, where they
could have good, comfortable homes, but
they will not go.

The merchants of New York are making
an effort to get back their lost trade. They

RELIGIOUS. ‘
The advent of Moody and Sankcy, and the
enormous audiences they have attracted, have
had the effect to set Christiars to thinking of
various things. Among others the system of
renting pews is being discussed with lnncll
feeling. The more earnest workers insist that
the churches shall be free, and that the seats
shall be free, and that the systcmbf “first
come,first served,” shall be adopted. They in-
sist that only ill this way can the masses be
brought into the churches and under gospel in-
fineness. on the other hand the holders of
pews hold that as there are always sittings for
all who come,thcre is no reason why those who
desire it should not have their regular sca‘s,
and continue the regular family idea of the
church. Tile matter has got into the papers
and nluch is being said proand con. The
preachers are taking it up, and the Christian
world is being divided into pew and no pew
parties. I shall not attempt to settle it, but
will give my notion in a speech made by an
advocate of the pew system. “’I‘alk,” said
he, “of the necessity of bringing sinners in
to hear preaching, Who needs it more than
the do? And who needs inducements more
than we do ‘3” As he was a pillar in the
church his statement wasa most candid eon-
fession. PIETRO.

The Congregational Churches of
Connecticut and the Centennial.
At the general conferences of the Congre-
gational churches in this State ill Norwich,
last November, the standing committee were
instructed to issue in May next, or earlier,
and distribute to the churches a circular
‘containing certain recommendations .in rela:
tion to the celebration by the churches of the
National Centennial. The recommendations
referred to are:
(1) That Sunday, July 9, be set apart as a
day of special praise and thanksgiving, the
services to be so arranged as to give full op-
portunity for both young and old to take
art.
(2) That the ministers of each church de-
liver an appropriate historical address, and
that a copy of each address with a programme
of the exercises be forwared to the church
annalist for preservation.
(3) That on the same day a general thank-
offering be made in the churches and Sunday
schools, the proceeds to constitute a special
contribution in behalf of a memorial hall for
the general conference of this State.
(4) That at. the general conference of 1870
two historical discourses be delivered, on suc-
cessive evenings, referring in part at least to
the relation of the Congregational churches of
Connecticut to the civil government and to
popular education and social reforms—one dis-
course to cover the period preceding the Dec-
laration of Independence ; the other, the pe-
riod subsequent to that event. . ' '_
(5). In general, that the ministers and lay-
men of' the churches make good use of the
opportunities offered them by the National
Centennial to encourage and increase the his‘
torical spirit in the people of Connecticut ;
and especially to foster in them a love, based
upon an intelligent comprehension of our past
history, for the Congregational faith and or-
der, and a new zeal in disseminating the prin-
ciples for .which the New England fathers la-
bored and suffered. - 4
_ In accordence with the directions of the
conference, the Rev. Jos. Anderson of Wa-
terbury, at the request of, the standing com-
mittee, has prepared _a circular for distribu-
tion to the churches, 1110‘ object being to se-
cure concertcd action. It is dev‘d' chiefly
to suggestions upon the separate subjects re-
ferred to in the recommendations of the gen-- p
eral conference, viz. ,- the thanksgiving, the
thank-offering and the historical discourse.
Concerning the first, it is suggested that one
of the services of the specified Sunday shall
be exclusively one of praise, and that the
Sunday-school session of the same character.
The arrangement of details is left to the re-
spective churches, the single recommendation
being that Dr. Bacon’s well known hymn-—
“O God, beneath thy guiding hand.
Our exiled fathers crossed the son.”
be given a place in the programme. .
In relation to the' thank-offering, the hope
is expressed that every church will make a
liberal gift, the object recommended being
one specially worthy of the benefactions of
Connecticut Congregationalists. Thcproject
has been indorsed heretofore by the general
conference, the object being to previde a suit—
able building for “the preservation of records
the Grouping of memorials, the use of agents
emponed in the works of common interest,-
and the convenience of the churches them-
selves in their Christian activity.” .The build—
ing is designed as a “tribute to the memory of
the fathers: a bond of union and fellowship,
an index of character and influence, a means
of Christian efficiency, and a proof of devo-
tion to the principles upon which these
churChes were founded and this ancient com-
monwealth was estRblislIed.” A building for
this purpose has been secured ill Hartford
and attractive rooms have been opened in it.
It can be purchased for fifty thousand dollars
which would require an average contribution
of one dollar from each Congregationalist in
the State. No more appropriate occasion
could be selected for the making of such a
thank-offering than the day devoted to the
Centennial commemoration.
The most important suggestion, in all itsbcar-
ing, is that concerning the preparation of his-
torical addresses. It is desired to obtain from
every church a valuable historical sketch, spec-
ial in its charactenminuteiy accurate, “not giv-
en up to Centennial rhetoric, but filled with an-
thentic details in reference to the origin and
growth of the local church, its periods of
special prosperity and of decadence, the for-
mation and history of its Sunday—schools, its
,works of benevolence, and the part. it has
‘borne in moral reforms, in war, and in edu-
cation, together with biographical sketches
of its ministers and its eminent laymen,
whether civilians, soldiers, or deacons. Tllcy
should be well digested and well written,
worthy to be quoted as good authority by. fu-
ture historians, and to be preserved in the‘ ar-
chives of the general conference in Memorial
hall. .
The circular further says in regard to this
matter : “The preparation of a good histori-
cal discourse is a task demanding no little la-
.bor, ill the collecting of materials and in re-
ducing them to proper form. It involves a
careful exploration of church and society and
town records, of genealogies and town and
country histories, and diligent gathering of
local traditions, of items of biography, of an—
ecdotes, and of the various minutiae which
give vividncss and value to memoirs of the ~.
past. For all this, time, and: thought," and
labor with the poll will be required, and the
preliminary work, therefore, should be begun
immediately. Such work will be scarcely
less necessary in new churches tha'lLin those
which are two centuries old; and it will be
just as important in our city churches (if val-
.uablc results are to be secured) as in our
ancient rural parishes. Each pastor should
if possible bring his discourse into appropri—
ate shape ill advance of its delivery, and‘
should forward it immediately thereafter to
the annalist of our churches, the Rev. \Vnu
Ii. Moore, at Hartford. if published it
should be issued ill the usual oclavo form and
two copies forwarded to Mr. Moore. accom-
panied with the manuscript. At, the next
general conference in New Haven, the annal—
ist should be able to report that he has re-
ceived a historical , discourse from cvcrv
church in the State. As these discourses are
to be deposited in the archives of the confer-
ence, it is desirable that. there should be a
certain uniformity in their size and general ap-
pearance. To secure this a supply of paper
has been prepared, appropriately ruled, which
will be furnished ill due time to all the
churches. The “programme of the (.‘cnteu-
nial services” should be neatly copied on the
same kind of paper, and transmitted to thc
annalist with the manuscript discdnrsc. A
title page. should also be prefixed, containing.

Bownx, ann.'si.xxD, September'l', 1875. ,
DEAR FATHER AND Mornnn: Hoping
you are still alive. and well, I take this my ,
first chance of writing to you that I have had
for these last cigllt years. You must be gflad
to know by this that I antstilll living and ill
the best of health, after living on- an‘uncivili-
zed island in the South Seas, ' having had
many narrow escapes from death by sickness,
as well as'from getting killed by the natives.‘-
I think thelast letter you had from me was
dated at San Francisco. I did not go in the
can ship called the 'Reynard, of Boston.
Sailcd from San Francisco for McKean’s
Islam], to take cargo of guano for. Georgia.
When at McKean’sIslaud, I, along with
four of the ship’s crew, took a whale.boat
belonging to the island and ran away from
the ship, as she was very leaky, deeploadcd,
and had a-very bad crew to round Cape Horn
with in the n int-er.
before. He advised us to run away with
him, saying it would only take a day or two
to reach the island we intended going to
where there were plenty of ’vessels calling.
We missed this island and our stock of .pro—
visions soon g'ot finished. After twenty days
we had nothing to eat or drink for four or
five days, and that too under a very hot sun.
Rain came at last—when by spreading our
sails wegot our 'two caSk’s" filled. Killed a
shark by a harpoou we had brought with us,
made. a fire in the boat and cooked it the best
way we could. After beingthirty-fivc days
in our open boat, we were picked up by the
natives, trading in their Comes to smile other
part of the island. Taking away everything
we had, they left five of the natives With us
who brought Ils to the village. Two or three
hundred of them gathered together, never
having seen a white man before. SOmc of
them wanted to kill us. ,Next day they sepa-’
rated us to different villages, some twenty
miles apart. I lived with the strongest chief
on the island, named Cabough ; he liked the
very much, and-did not want me to go away.
I soon learned their language and ways, and
went about stark naked. They-do not wear
the least bit of clothing; never go anywhere
without their spears; tomahawks, and bows
and arrows, every day fighting, one tribe
against anothér, cutting on each other’s
heads for ornamenting their huts. I had to
go with them sometimes, and saw dreadful
sights. I was very handy at making their
canoes and nets, planting yams, cutting
down trees, etc. I never got down-hearted.
My old companions soon died, I understood,
and the natives told me that one of them had
been killed by the-tribe he stopped; with. I
never saw anyof them after our separation.
Four years ago some slavers came along our ,
coast. The natives going off in their“ canoes
to trade, the slavcrs shot some of- them, sank
their'canoes, and, putting out their boats,
picked up the natives who were in the water,
and carried them off as slaves. This made
the natives quite savage, and I being the only
white 'man on the island, they offered many
prizes to the chief for me, that they might
kill and eat me. They all agreed to this
except my chief, btlt he liked me too much
to allow it. Six months after this they'captur-
ed two vessels and killed the crews. This
was at the other end of the island, which is
about one hundred miles long, and named
Mellata, one of the SolOInon group, about
clever. hundred miles from the island we had
left—rather a long 1distance to come in ah
open boat, with only a box of biscuit, four
hams, two fsnlall kegs of water, tobacco,
matches, etc. On Sunday, 8th of August,
of this year, I was taken off the island by the
crew of this vessel, who were well armed,
in their two bodts.‘ On- coming ashore, the
natives were afraid to come too near,‘in case
they might get shot ; but Captain Murray '
made them presents of spipes, tobacco, etc.,
day after the vessel sailed we stood back
again, when I'got the chitaf to come on board.
The captain, showing him the cabin, gave
him some more presents. This being the
first ship he had ever seen, he was quite sur-
prised. I got twenty of. his tribe to come
along, with me. {I‘he’yare going to Queens—
land, to work for three years for money,
where they can buy anything they like,
when they shall be sent back again to the
island. I speak the language as well as the
natives. The captain of tile vessel thattook '
me off is a nice man; he belongs to Fife,
ill Scotland. He came out ‘tln'ee years ago ;
his wife and children are all living in Blis-
bane. He wishes me to [go back with him to
the island, as by speaking the language I
might be useful to him, and I have no ob-
jection, as it is the only thing-lean do mean-
time. If you were to.see me now you would
not know me. Iain almost as black as a
nigger, but since commencing to wear
clothes I am getting white again. I hope we
shall meet soon, as I should like so mdch to
see home and friends once more, but it will
have to be in The summer, as I could not
stand the cold in the winter. \Vitll heart-
felt gratitude to God for His preserving 'mer-
cies in the past, I am, your afiectibnatc son,

The Burning of Moscow.
The burning of Moscow, in 1812, is one of
the most noted conflagrations “on" record, not
only on account of its magnitude, but for its
historical importance. The French entered
the city September 14th, Napoleon proposing
to make it his winter quarters. On that very
day several fires broke out, but little attention
was .paid to them by the invading. army " nu:
til-the next twodays, when they had‘acqnir-
ed great headway. On the 17th a high wind
arose, and the fiamesspread. rapidly Vinevery
direction; by the 18th the Whole city appear-
ed a sea of flame, and by the 20th nine-tenths
of it was reduced to ashes. The total num-.
bcrot‘ buildings destroyed is stated at be-
tween 13,000 and 15,000. *‘ The Russians at
the time, in order to cast odium on the
French, attributed this confiagration to the
orders of Napoleon. It “now, however,
generally acknowledged that the fires were
the work of the Russians themselves; and
that tllcy were kindled by the orders of the
governor, Rostoptchin; acting‘beyond all
doubt under the sanction of the Emperor
Alexander, without whichfit is hardly con-
ceivable that the governor would have yen?
tured such a stem; Theobject was to -de-'
pljiyethe French army-._’0f shelter'from the,
winter. Ample precautions had been taken
to insure the entire destruction cf the city.
Inflammable materials were placed in desert-
ed mansions in every quarter, and the torch
was applied sinlultaneOusly allever the" city.
In burning the French out of their proposed
winterquarters, no provision had” been made
for the safety of the inhabitants, who were
driven to seek shelter in the surrounding
woods; and it is affirmed that more '%
20,000 sick and wounded perished in
flames. The directloss to tile French is put
down .at 40,000;
and the almost complete annihilation of the
great French army. . This act, which the
Russians at the time repudiated, is now con-

Address to a J ug of‘Rum.
First published in 1813.
Here. only by a cork controlled
'And slender walls of earthen mould,
In all the 00ml) of death, repose
The seeds of many a broken nose;
The chattering tongue, thethorrid oath '
The fist for fighting nothing loth. ’
The passions which no word can tame, .
That bursts like sulphur into Me;
The nose carbuncled, growing red;
The bloated eye, thevbroken head;
The tree thatlfiears a deadly fruit
Of murder, maiming and dispute,
Assaults, that innocence assails;
The images of gloomy jails ,
The giddy thought on mischief bent;
The midnight hour in flat spent;
All these within the jug appear,
And Jack the hangman in the rear.
The Man with the Coon Skin.
He halted in front of a grocery store, and
drawing from under his coat a small parcel
tied around with‘a string, he inquired of the
grocer, who sat by the door :
“ How’s trade ?”
“Pretty fair for hot weather,” was the
answer.
“ Are you tip to bargains?" continued the
stranger, as he antied the parcel and took
out a coon skin—a coon skin which seemed
to have been kicked about the house ever
since the close of the war.
f‘ Humph i” sneered the grocer, as be con-
temptously regarded the old skin.
_ .“ You may ‘humph l’ and ‘humph 1’ and
‘humph !’ all you want to I” exclaimed the
stranger ina loud voice, “but if you want a '
coon skin to sell again this is the article i”
‘i‘ I don’t think I want to invest.”
“ You don’t ?' Great heavens I but I
took you for a man of talent and enterprise!"
“ No one ever buys coon skins or furs in
the summer," said the grocer.
“ I know it’s a httle late in the season, and
therefore I’m Willing to throw of! something.
“I should’nt have the face to ask over fifty
cents for this ’ere coon skin.”
“I shouldn’t want to pay that price,” re-
ph‘ed the grocer. '
“ You wouldn’t P Merciful stars 1 But
is it possible that you would take bread from
the mouths of my starving children, my in-
nocent darlings, who don’t know a coon skin
from a cow hide i"
‘ The grocer was silent, and the stranger
smoothed the brindled hair with his right
hand and continued : -
“ Iwill go before any court in the landand
take a solemn oath'that this is one of the
best coon skins offered in this market for the
last fifteen years. Observe the variegated
colors 1 Behold the tender softness 1 Just
put your hand on this coon skin, mister 1"
“ I don’t think'I want to buy any furs be-
fore November," quietly replied the grocer.
“ You don’t ? Is it possible that you will
deliberflely let this great bargain slip through
. your fingers ? N01 I cannot believe it !
Dozens of grocers in this town want this coon
skin; want it so that they can’t keep still ;
but I was recommended to come to you, and
I am here.”
“ It isn’t a prime skin,” said the grocer, as
he glanced at the flesh side a second time.
“ It ain’t ? Here, mister, shoot me! Draw
your revolver and send a bullet in here, right
through my quivering heart 1”
He dropped the coon-skin and held his
coat and vest open, but as the grocer didn't
shoot he presently picked up his merchandise
and continued in a sad voice :
“ Mister, do I look like a pirate, or 'a rob—_
her, or a liar ? Do you suppose I'd go and
tell you a deliberate lie, and peril my chances
of ever reaching heaven, for the sake of sel-
ling you this coon skin ?"
“ No, I suppose not,” replied the grocer,
leaning back in his chair.
- “ Ah, no, I wouldn’t. I ain’t party, nor I
don’t wear many store clothes on my person
but I'm honest—yes, as honest as the day is
long. If I should so far forget my early
.training as to tell you a lie about this coon
skin, I never could enjoy another night's rest
——never 1” .
“ Well, I guess I don’t want it," said the
grocer. '
“ Heavens i is it possible that you will let
me return to my loving wife and' fond chii- -
dren without bread to appease their hunger ?
Will you deliberately and willfully sit here
and see me tie this coon akin up and walk
away, when I am offering it to you at one-
half its market value 2’”
“ You can perhaps sell it elsewhere.”
“ I know I can. I know a dozen men
who want it, but they are not of your repu-
tation. When you hand me fifty cents I
know it is the genuine scrip, and I go away
satisfied. The others mightpass counterfeit
money on me, and I might be arrested and
jailed, and my family be exposed to' the scorn
of this cold world." .
“ I don’t want the coon skin," said the
grocer, “but if your family are suffering for
the want of food, I’ll give you fifteen cents
cents for it, and throw it back in the loft."
“ Fi—flfteen—fifteen cents i” exclaimed
the stranger, dropping the fur and springing
off the step. “Now let the angels look down
and weep ! Let that bright sun be obscured
by clouds blacker than midnight rolled in tar?
If life has come to this, let me die at once i"
The grocer picked up the newspaper, and
the stranger waited two or three minutes,
sighed heavily, and then handed out the skin
and sadly said: ' ‘ '
“ Take it, and give me the paltry pittance!
I am going home to die in the bosom of ‘ my
family! I’ll gather them around me once
more, take a last farewell, and then I’ll drop
into the turbid river, and be seen no more, 1”
The money was handed him, and he passed
down the street two blocks, turned to the
left, and as he kicked open the blind door of a
salodn, he said to the barkeeper :
“Juleps for one, and fill the glass chock

would not turn coldly away - A-manwho-had

named Jake Hal-trait. Jake was a’ ,squatter
in the woods, where he» had a log cabin, and

times raised corn, and with his gun he" cap-
tured game. Of the game he ate theflcsh,

before the winter was over he i... sure tube
out of corn, in which emergency he would
bring his bag to the 00101161 for ‘. @1311,
which was generally furnished. Once upon
a. time Jake came with his bag-very early in
the season—in fact winter had just set in.
“ Why, how’s this, Jake ?" demanded Fin
negan. “Seems to me you are rather early
in your call for corn.” '
“ Well, Colonel, fact is my crop failed this
yer season.” _
“ Failed ! How is that! I thought it, had
been an uncommonly good season for corn.”
“ Yeas, I s’pose it Ins, colonel. But—
y’see—I forgot to plant.” ‘
