Our New York Letter. \ POLITICAL—«Fm . LIVING—STREET MER- onmrs—anmass. ‘ New Yonx, Sept. 17th, 1870. POLITICAL The declination of Seymour has demorali- zed the democracy of the state. It was a trick of Tildcn’s to get a man of lns own at the head of the ticket, but like a good many of the operations of smart men it hasn’t worked. The decent democracy saw through it, and they blocked Tilden’s little game by demanding a re-asscmbling of the state eon- vention, and a deal from a fresh pack which had not been so carefully stocked. Who the coming man is no one can tell, but it will not be amere tool of Tilden’s; that is, he will be supposed to be free from the Tilden influ- ence. This distrust of their presidential nominee seems curious to people outside; but it is well understood in New York where he is known. No one has confidence in him. He is known as a sly, underground, selfish, ambitious man, who has not athought outside of his own advancement, and a man who would sacrifice his nearest friend to make a step for himself. The democracy feel that he has thrown away all hOpe of carrying the state, and have virtually given up the presi. dcntial race, unless it can be carried by some gigantic fraud. But they are doing desper- ate work, and I warn the republicans of the country that it is not safe to sleep. The mails arc burdened with documents—the commit- tee in this city have lists of every voter in the country, classified “democratic,” “ re- publican," “ doubtful,” and documents. pre- ; :n-ml for each are being sent out by the mil-E . They are working with more .systeml : energy than ever. This sly,underground, j :egient work is .Tilden’s: best card,-—it is the; one he has always played, and because they; are-holding ’no' big meeting and making not great outcry,don’t- fancy they are doing noth-‘; ing. Tilden trusts nothing to committes. Hei is in this fight to win—he is playing forlthe? patronage of the government, and he is su-f pcrintending it all himself. He writes his , own pamphlets,.andsees. that they get into- proper blinds. g‘f'l‘o your tents, oh Israe .” It is a notable fact that the democracy of ’ the east dare not do a thing till they have asked-Tamma'rIy.', The proposition to nomi- nate Charles Francis Adams for the govern- orship of Massachusetts was held'vin abeyance till Boss Kelley was heard from. The pub ncr of Morrissey thought the matter over, and finally said he was willing, and accord- ingly he was nominated. As Tammany fur- nishes the money to carry the .New England states, ‘as well asthe repeaters, the propriety of consulting Tammany is apparent. But think of a descendant of John Quincy Adams asking permission of a New York spoilsman to be a‘ candidate. The bones of the “old eloquent” must have turned over in their cof- fin. . - .. .. ' ' A RATHER ruse Lives, Among the recent failures was that of a clothing firm,'-wauted their creditors to take. fifty cents entire dollar-.4 They owed aboutt'a" million, and had'goods to nearly that amount, When their affairs were investigated it was discovered that the senior had .used $59,000 a. year in living expenses. A firm living in that way might reasonably expect to fail—it could not be expected that they could go on very long in such times. But this is a fair sample of New Yorkhabits. The wives of.- thc members of the firm were high-flyers,‘ who acquried habits of expensive living in times that would justify it, and they found it very inconvenient - to slack up when the times became hardr‘aEdtheirhuabands were weak fehoughftéi let”- them" drag them ":toruiu- I know- of minnow. clerk,"at"$2,000 'a‘ year, who, rour'_yehi§ugo,gwagio.ihihg ' as a merchant on hisaown- _accou‘pt notless than. canteens: your; :Heanoiveahusvire- car: ' riages,»~horses,-lpa?ties. diamondsfiatc” to the tune, 91239.99!) -.a year. and was Ilsatisfied.

Finally the smash came, there} was nothing behind them, the sheriff sold-theirlrouse, and the pair are now, livingintwo moms, and taking:'th‘e_i_r meals '- at a very cheap‘restaurant. She is path so- ciety,and.the husband is verylthaukful there- for. , He says-he is happier than'hecver‘w‘as in his flush times,.for there were four years that he knew ruin was hanging over him, and the constant worry of it nearly drove him crazy. . STREET MERCHANTS. One of the curiosities of metropolitan life, is the street vender. who has his stand at every corner in all parts of the city. They deal in everything from a peach to a knife, including neckties,"shawl straps, cutlery, ho- siery and everything else. How they live is a mystery. I am an average man and I nev- er bought an article of them nor did I ever see any one else do it. Yet they make money, enough in a year or two to be promoted to a retail-store, and some, of the heaviest mer. chants in the city commenced in this humble way. I stOod for two hours yesterday, and watched a man crying, “here you are, only a quarter of a dollar.” Over his arm were an hundred or more pairs of suspenders, and though thousands passed him not a pair did I see him sell. Finally I—Lasked him how he made a living standing there and not selling anything. “ I dds'ellg" was his reply. He told me that he :1ch Itwenty pairs a day, that his articles cost'him twelve and a‘ half cents, giving him an: hundred per cent. “ Twenty shillin’ a day ain’t much—here you are, only a quarter of a dollar—but you see I ain’t got no ‘r'ent, nor license, nor water rate, nor gas, nor nothin’ to; pay, and.I git on.” " But Who. 1311st of - you- 1'" “Everybody. These s’pendcrs'icost ~ yOu- seventyifive‘ cents in a store, and rich men come along with their quarter all ready, and take 'em without anybody seein’ ’em. I average twenty shil- lin a day. Here you are, only a quarter.” The peculiarity of these merchants is that they never announce the article they have to sell, but only its price. They hold the goods so they can be seen, and then howl the price, each one with some call, peculiarly his own. One man at the corner of Maiden Lane, has been there twenty years, with his lead pencils, which he sells at about half the shop price, and it is said that he has made a great deal of money out of his little trade, and could live on the avenue if he choose to do It. Another makes a specialty of child- rene’s toys. Sometimes it is balloons, some- times spiders, sometimes fancy kites, and then again pistols. But whatever the article may be, he never goes outside of children’s goods. There are large establishments in Williams and Fulton streets devoted to goods for the street vendors, and the trade is gov- erned by regular laws and rules, the same as govern more pretentious occupations. As a rule the goods sold by street merchants are as good as any other, though there are large factories devoted to making articles expressly for them. Thus at Attleboro, Mass, there are a dozen factories, employing hundreds of operatives each, whose sole business Is the making of’sham jewelry for these men.” The pair of sleeve buttons which you buy of them, for twenty-five cents, the first cost of which isless‘than five, cannot readily be dis- tinguishedfrom the best solid gold,for which in a BroadeystOre you would pay $20, and as no onefi’get'snear enough to them to scruti- nize, what u the odds ? I have seen street ' l vendors sell the most artistic looking jewelry for ten cents, the genuine of which would cost $40. And the _ joke is no one a foot away, can determine which is the true and ' which is the false. Many a swell sports jew- elry which is supposed to cost much shckels, which came from the humble street vender. Things are not always what they seem. BUSINESS is reviving perceptibly. The purchasers are more liberal, and confidence is restored. The indications are good, and we are more hopc- ful. PIsTnO. fl DEAR GAZETTE—I suppose, in these stir- ring Centennial times,a hum-drum letter from the country will hardly be acceptable, still I can but try, so I take my seat this breezy morning beside a cheery hearth fire with pen and paper before me. What I have to say is very commonplace, for Survey and I, who are learning to cook, feeling in close sympathy with all our sisters who may be doing likewise, would like to have a word with them through your col- mnns._ Our failures are many and laughable ”of course, but a success once in a while is very inspiring, and it will be such a grand thing, bye and bye,to be famous cooks,with all sorts of useful knowledge and delicious receipts at our linger ends—quite independent of Bridg- et for the rest of our mortal existence. It is a fine thing, too, to learn before one is driven to it. Trying experiments frOm cook books is immensely amusing! quite as diverting, for a- change, as sketching from nature, or studying Chopin—that is, if the cook book is 'Marion ’Harland’s charming “ Common Sense in the Household,” which certainly is a godsend to young housekeepers. It is full of bright talks and advice, given in the pleas- autcst way imaginable. The comical little anecdotes, which come cropping up continu- ally among the staid and sober receipts, are delightful, and the receipts themselves are all good, and sure to pro'vc a success. Now I am sure, if all the girls in the land only knew the pleasure of all this, they would drop their tiresome fancy work and follow the humble example of Sukey and me. Above all things get “Common Sense in the Household"—-and it will be well to make friends with all the old ladies one meets, for they are most entertain- ing store-houses of useful receipts and long experience. Our grandmother has given Sukey and me a written cook book, which has belonged to two famous cooks. It is a hundred years old, and has tried receipts in it a hundred and thirty years old. So gird on your kitchen aprons and don your kitchen caps, sure of a blessed reward for all your labors. ' Complaisantly yours, ' CYNTHY. BRIEBSVILLE, CT., Sept. 12th, 1876. ' THE STATE FAIR. . HARTFORD, Sept. 12, 1876. Massns EDITORS GAZETTE—The State Fair in this city at Charter Oak Park, opened to- day, by the Hon. E. H. Hyde, President, in the chair. 0n calling the meeting to order, business was transacted and committees ap-. pointed, after which the meeting adjourned. to the Oakwood Heuse for dinner, which passed off very pleasantly, after which the commitees went to their various duties. The exhibition of cattle and horses is mag- nificent. Some‘ of the finest cattle'in Ameri- lca are on exhibition, all breeds, many of which go to Philadelphia to the Centennial, ifrom here. 'Agrieultural implements, large and varied Hegganum Mfg. 00., the greatest éexhibitors of stoves, ranges and furnaces, and ‘a large (assortment and fine exhibition of goods of the Norwalk Foundry make are on exhibition. The judges on these goods make their report to-morrow, which I will send you you the result of. Attendance to—day light but expected better tomorrow. Norwalk Fair well spoken of‘by every gentleman of the State Board ; some of them will visit you this week. G. H. R. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 9, 1876. ‘ Messrs. EDIToas.—A look through the capital, and a walk thence to the White House, by way of Pennsylvania Avenue, just at this time, reminds one of 3. Rhode Island clam baakc, or at least that portion remain- ing, after a hungry excursion party have done it full and impartial justice. At the Capitol, everything is upside down, and a score of folders are engaged in preparing documents for distribution, by the several campaign clubs in this city, and for that purpose, tables have been placed in all Of the halls and corridors. Ben Perley Poore is the only portion of Con- gress remaining, and he roams about majes- tically, answering with his usual suavity, the thousands of questions with which he is dai- ly plied bv the Centennial visitors. The Ave- nue is about to be rc-paved, and preparatory thereto, the old wooden block pavement has been removed. Added to this, the new wa- ter pipe is being laid, and the railroad com! pany are repairing their tracks, so that thi§ fine thoroughfare is confusion itself, and im- passable except at the risk Of a broken wheel or a disabled horse. , As mentioned above,'the centennial visit- ors have mucous they keep arriving. They are usually-banded in .‘sqnads of from two to forty, and up’onthe arrival . of the evening train from, Philadelphia,- they come swooping from the depot like grasshoppers over a Kansas farm. You can easily recog- nize the “" contenter,” as they are familiarly known here. The “linen duster” covers them one and all,-—male and female,—faces blagrimmed with car cast, and soiled linen. They will occasionally endeavor to escape detection by “ washing up," but it’s no use, for the moment they leave their hotel for the street, the bootblacks and newsboys sing out “Cententer.” The economical manner in which they travel, is, I presume, the reason that Washingtonians “ poke fun” at them, especially the boarding house keepers. You are well aware of the rapaeious nature of the Washington landlord. His leech-like pro- clivities are hardly exceeded by a Sioux Indi- an in “ scalp lifting." To have this army of visitors pass through this city, and for them not to have a good fair shot at their pocket books, is disgusting indeed, to the dispensers of board and lodg- ing. One party—consisting of three gentle- men and their wives—arrived at the National one night last week. They registered, after a bargain for three rooms at a dollar for each room, and paid that down. The clerk said, “ supper is ready, gentlem.” But they want- ed no supper, and strolled out on the Avenue for awhile and then retired. Early the next morning they arose, and one of the party took the water pitcher and proceeded to a grocery and had it filled with milk, meeting at the same time two leaves of bread, and on' this they made their breakfast, after which they “ done" Washington and then took their departure in the evening train. We are not informed as to where they came from, but we would venture to wager that they were neighbors of “ Blue Jean Williams." The Vermont election seems to have taken what little nerve the democratic press have had. News from Indiana and Ohio is not of the kind that they were looking for,and their last desperate plan is to break up Republican gatherings by violence. A democrat wander- cd into one of the Republican club rooms, the other evening, looked over the different documents lying around the room, and read a portion of one of the speeches-either Mor- ton’s or Kassson’s. He drew a long breath, and then he settled back in his chair saying, “ Why couldn't our folks make speeches that they ain’t ashamed to send to the country.” Some one suggested that “ Senator Eaton made one the night before Congress adjourn- ed," when the democratic visitor arose to dc~ part, saying, in a very dis gustcd manner, “That’s the old cuss that’s played all the mischief; setting on the southerners, telling them the party was strong enough north for them to sail in.” By the way, it is rumored here that Eaton is going to Indiana and Ohio to stump for Tilden, and our Republican friends in those states have been thorougly posted on his record from the time he was propietor of agrocery down south to the time that he did not attend the convention of the .s. democrats at Hartford. If Eaton has any friends in Hartford they ought to keep him home for there will be nothing left of him after a month's encounter with the Indiana whiskey, that he will naturally devour, to say nothing of the dissecting that Logan and Ingersoll will give the old man. News from Florida, last week, settles be- yond a doubtthat her electoral vote will be cast for Hayes and Wheeler. Conover and Steams have made up their differences, the former withdrawing a candidate for govern- or. North Carolina is very hopeful for the Republican candidate. Judge Scttle's can- vass is said to be the most thorough and effec- tive ever given by any party in the “ 01d Pine State." All eyes are on Connecticut, as the outsid- ers recognize, as they think, a good chance for the Republicans to win. OOOASIONALL Don’t be Again Cheated. ! All last season the country Was promised “ good times," if only a democratic House of Congress were elected. The people were gullled into permitting such a majority to have control in the originating branch of the legislature. And what did they towards aiding the laborer? Not even the necessary ap- propriation bills were brought forward until they had been in session eight or nine months The House was the phIce to originate all rc- form measures likely to aid business. Was anything done, or even suggested by the dem- ocratic majority to inspire confidence in bus- iness circles? To reassure capital? To give employment to those seeking work? On the contrary, discharges were made from the arsenals, navy yards and departments, Of men and soldiers, wives and widows, whose services were actually required. Even our little river and harbor appropriations, im- pcratively needed to save from total loss the money already expended, was refused by this reform congress, composed in a large de- gt'ee of members, (every one of whom is a democrat) who bore arms against this, the best government that ever existed, or offered free pardon to all, who with suicidal purpose, sought its destruction. Would our credit at home and abroad be strengthened by advancing such a party to supreme control in the nation ? Every man, woman and child knows to the contrary. GovanNoa HAYES AND THE CHAMPAGNE.— In the fall of last year,directly after his suc- cessful campaign for the governorship, Mr. Hayes chanced to be in Cleveland in attend- ance upon some important duties connected with the recent campaign. After supper he and several of his political friends retired to his own apartments to talk overrecent events, and of course hearty congratulations were given him from all. In the course of the even- ing some one suggested the expediency of calling for some champagne to rightly cele- brate his recent election. Mr. Hayes remark- ed that he desired none, and would prefer-to have none brought up. The gentleman,how- ever, in spite of his rcmonstrance, went into the hall, summoned a servant, and ordered some champagne. Presently awaiter came into the room with glasses and bottla of champagne on a tray, and set them down upon the table. Mr. Hayes immediately turned from the topic of conversation occupying those pres- ent, told the waiter to remove the tray from the room without delay, and remarked that he hoped the gentleman who ordered the wine would excuse him, that be thanked him, but that it was in direct opposition to his princi- ples to partake -of_ any liquor at all, and especially so under ‘present circumstances. He said: “ Gentlemen, I consider my elec- tion to the governorship worthy of a better celebration. I think it wouldhewell for us all, instead of resorting to this kind of con. viviality, rather to consider well what duties and responsibilities such an ofl‘ice enjoins upon me.” With these few manly remarks the subject was dropped. This incident, unim- portant as it may appear, still shows, unmis- takably, the general bearing of the man’s character. Such conduct does not at least belong to a weak man,.whatcver may have been the advisability of the action—Cleveland letter in the Providence Journal. ——-——+<o>—o——- The Connecticut Brigade. Says The Philadelphia Press: “Connecti- cut has been made famous as the wooden nut- meg state and a wooden clock workshop. But her sons seems as much at home with muskets and knapsacks as with their tools at their bench. Their appearance as they par aded through the Centennial grounds yester- day was remarkably fine and soldierliko. It showed that the high rank which the Con- necticut militia has always had was well de- served. Aside from their appearance in the ranks, the manly and independent way in which they came, and their gentlemanly conduct during their stay in this city shows them to be good citizens. They imposed no obligations on our cittzens or our troops, but they paid their own way, and will go home to-day with the best wishes of every one and sure of a hearty welcome when they come again." WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.——The first batch of the new four and a half per cent. bonds, amounting to ten millions, were sent by the steamer from New York, Sunday, in charge of three treasury clerks for delivery to the Syndicate. These clerks will return in charge of the exchanged bon'ds. It is settled that the United States Treasury will accept these bonds as deposit as security for the circulation of National banks, and that five and six per cents, now on deposit may be withdrawn. GENERAL HAYES ON HIS NOMINATION. For me, I have. no reliance except that which Abradam mcoln had when he went from his home at Sprin old, when he said to his friends, “ I go to ashington to assume a responsibility greater than that which has devolved upon any one since the first Presi- dent, and I beg my friends and neighbors to pray that I may have that Divine assurance Without which I cannot succeed and with which I cannot fail." In that spirit I ask you to deal WIth me. If it should be the will of the people that this nomination shall be ratified all will be well. If, on the other hand, it shall be the will of the people that another shall assume these great responsibili- ties, let us see to it that we who oppose him give hima fair tiral and also our prayers. TILDEN ON HIS NOMINATION. 1 can tell you what has-been done. This nomination was not made by the leaders of the party; it was the people who made it. They want reform they have wanted it a long while and in looking about the have become convinced that IT IS TO BE F UN D HERE (pointing to himself). THE PATRIOT.

Early in the war a young man of excellent family and superior character and attainments was desirous of raising a company. He wait- ed upon Mr. Tilden with whom he had an acquaintance, and asked him to give him a letter of recommendation to certain State of- fic1als. Mr. Tilden’s reply was as follows : ‘ Young man, you need not come to me for any such letter of recommendation, this war is an outrage and I will lend no assistance whatever to its prosecution.” “ N o, I will not be a candidate. I only ask that some one who stood by us in the hour of the country’s need shall be nominated for President, and I look upon General Hayes as such'a man. We all know how brave he was how good a soldier he was, and I know that he is the soul of honor.”—-Gencral Sherman. The present presidential nominee disagrees with his lamented predecessor upon the finan- cial question. Horace Greely said that the way to resume is to resume. Samuel J.

A soldier of a colonel’s rank lay wounded on the field, Though pressed by rebels front and flank his brave troops would not yield; 11131101139 185’ dead, and never more would heed'the bugle’s call, ’ His arm hung lifeless by his side. pierced by a minie ball. His wounded breast was still undressed, he lay ’mid dust and dirt, And ’round his form through the battle’s storm he wore a “ bloody shirt." When the surgeon came, the soldier smiled, and pointed with his hand, And said, “ Look, comrade, look and see where stands my brave command; We drove the rebels from our front, we won South Mountain’s crest, The dead fell fast as we charged at last, but on the heights we rest; Some young, some old, in death lay cold, some sink with mortal hurt, And many there shall buried Wear for a shroud a “ bloody shirt." The fighting days of the gallant Hayes and his boys in blue are o’er, No more they come at the beat of drum, or hear the cannou’s roar; But still his voice will lead them on as in those battle days, And we once more hear them shout and cheer their valliant leader Hayes ; And there’s no standard he can raise, no flag or banner flirt, That will bring more men to his side again than that sacred blood-stained shirt— That shirt he wore ’mid the battlc’s roar—that stained and bloody shirt. A. 1!. K. _ The Way 0’ the Wind. “ Why does the East Wind always complain? Because he is married to the Rain. ' “ Why is the North Wind’s breath so strong? He has wrestled with icebergsfierce and long. “ Why is the South Wind’s step so light 1’— Out of a sleeping land in flight. “ Why is the West Wind's touch aflame ?— Out of a sunset cloud he came.” Lying under a summer tree, This is what Zephyr sang to me. Zephyr, with flattering words and low, Tells but half of the truth I know. Four great boys in an- ancient hall ghey grew up thinking their will was all. weet Mother Nature, the dearest dame—~ i fear her softness is much to blame. Lovely and quiet, year out, car in, Her soft white blankets she sits to spin; Rose-hucd curtains, and carpets green, Broidered cushions of satin sheen. Her guests are hidden, her house is fair— Four wild rovers have entrance there. Never’s an hour so still and sweet But may be broken by. trampling; But when from the ruin they turn away, Oh, who so gentle and blithe as they! They rock the cradles in tall tree tops, They run with the tripping water drops; Daintily courting they sigh and pine Round the flowei-Jadies so pure and fine. Well they love pleasure, but mischief best— Too swift and subtle and strong for rest. Up and down in the world they go, And mock us‘with every voice we know. They pipe to the dreamers. at even-song; They monm to ‘watchers all night long. Then down the chimney they shout and roar, Shriek at the lattice and shake the door. The old man, sighing, repeatethstill, “ The will 0’ the wind is bothOd’s’will ;” The boy, with wondering, silent lips. Thinks of the sea and the waited ships; And each in his dim heartlongsto find Out of- his world the way ' o’ the wind. --CABL SPENCER, in Harper’s Magazine for September. LITTLE GOLDEN -HAIR.

Do the young readersof the Trauma: BANNER know what‘s" scourge is? ‘Let. them read in the Gospel of St.‘ John;'8ecoudchap- ter, from the fifteenth verse: “ NOW"Jesus found in the temple at Jerusalem them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and Ihe changers of money,sitting; and when he had ‘ made‘a scourge of small cords, he drove them . all out of the temple.” Let them also re-, member that he was acourged before he was crucified. A missionary of the American "Sunday. school Union in Tennessee writes that he ‘.‘re- cently visited a church where the-terrible scourge of t'ntemperjanee was workingjifipchief with several of the member-answering man accused of drunkenness, a man accused of selling intoxicatingdrinks, and eventhe min- ister was charged with riding like a drunken man.” ' A terrible scourge indeed! What-a lacera- tingof the flesh and spirit does it inflict! If Jesus drove out of the temple them thatsold such harmless creatures as oxen and sheep and doves, would he not much more drive out of any of his churches: that .scourge of society, a seller of intoxicating drmkl that. tend to the ruin of soul and character,“ well as body, especially if the scllernweie a ho. man !— Temperance Banner. ' The Corliss engine at the Centennial. has been bought by a European firm. . ' Philadelphia anticipates; the best fall trade. for years, so does New York. Where was Hayes during the heaviest of the war? At the head of his army, fighting for the protection of the Union. ' Is the man who opposed the war ‘for the salvation of the Union a safe man to place at the head of the National Government ? . “ That’s carrying the thing altogether too far, you know,” as the man said when he got ‘ off the cars at the Centennial and found his rank had gone on to Pittsburg.
