Bombarding in River Street.
The President‘s policy in South Carolina
and Louisiana affairs is entirely lost sight of
in River street. In the heated excitement
now consuming at least two families up that
hitherto quiet lane, it is doubtful if even the
tragic Dorr war in Rhode Island is remem-
bered. .
It isMax Adeler, we believe, who remarks
as among other exquisite joys one experienz
ces in life in a country village over ”what 'can
be experienced in a great 'city, is the “inter-
est.” all your neighbors take in you and. all
your affairs. In a city you may even quarrel
with your wife" and. your next door neighbor
won’t care a- rush, but in the country village
all this is different, and a conjugal tiff is
faithfully repeated to every family in town
and. forms the topic of most ' absOrbing inter-
est ta the “sewing circle." In the city, one
may eat,dress,go in and out as he pleases,while
in the village, cabbage or onions fOr dinner,
spice the table talk of your. nelghors for
seven squares of, while a new bonnet worn
by your wife, or a bright brasacollar on your'
dog,~cans_es such a'strong ripple of excite-
ment that the entire community are Sooner or
later absorbed in it.
In-the present case, the “war of the roses"
had its origin in a futile effort to introduce
city seclusion (and exclusiveues's' in lieu of
our aforetime provincial freedom of outlook
and observatiorf. ' To be more explicit, a man
of stoves andtianares moved next a long-
established and, well-grounded Worker in
pipes and metals. -'The former concluded his
rear division-fence was too open to neighbor-
ly inspection‘andtdthose .‘maranding felines
which sojexasperate a sleepy man with no
music in his“ soul and 301110 is not moved by
the concordof sweetf'aonnds. The low fence
and wide-spreading'fhlats, mon'eover, invited,
the adjacehtchrlnticléer to _-.Inarch his harem
into the lettuce bed,ian'd wake the sunrise
echoes by his shrill, clari0n voice. '1' his was
unendarable‘, so _a high and closaboarded
fence is substituted for the’ol’done, through
which the winds of thirty winters had whis-
tled: It was not erected in place of the old
fence, but set justa little back. of it. This
peculiarity attracted the special attention of
the man of steam couplings, who naturally
took it as a challenge. He accepted the gauge
of battle thus thrown down, with the most
cheerful allerity. Before another sun had
set nponthe scene of neighbor strife, three
huge battering-rams were constructed. They
were boarded high in air,’ upon stanchions
projecting upright from heavy ground tim-
bers. Then these great engines of defensive
warfare were pried into position- close up to
the tinman’s side windows, ranging 'closé on
the division fine. He of the steam-pipe art,
is at present master of the situation,- for Tilt

‘_ by reason of. his frantic; efforts to', look . up

Iu'gh.upas he mm in that'direction, and as he
can’t raise them another inch; he is going to
cut through his side roof and thus peep out
over the tops of the enemy’s battering rams.

_, POULTRY.
Few of our citizens are aware of the num-
ber of poultry fanciers and breeders in our
midst, at least ten or twelve of the latter
who raise manyfine rarieties’ for breeding
and exhibition purposes,shipping and send-
,ing eggs thousands of miles away at prices
varying frOm $1.50 to $3.00 for thirteen eggs
—a sitting—with demands more than equal-
ing the supply, at this period of the year. ‘ '
, His honor, Mayor Ely, is a breeder and'
lover of'fine poultry, and 'is now devoting
particular attention to the raising of some
fine specimens of VWhite C. B. Polish. , He
has orders ahead for eggs at $3.00 for thir-
teen eggs in excess of his present supply.-
Mayor Ely prides himself on his Plymouth
Rock‘s, an American fowl, which are receiv-
ing particular attention, at present, from
poultry men and farmers generally, on ac-
count of their remarkable egg-producing
qualities, being also very fine table fowl. The
Plymouth Books are destined to take front
rank among the different breeds on account
of their early maturity and hardiness, and
likewise for their good looks and fine feath-
ers, resembling somewhat the American Dom-
iniques.
Mr. W. H. Saunders and Mr. F. S. Ains-
worth, of our neighboring city, are paying
particular'atteution to the raising of some
eight or ten varieties. lVe bespcak them
good success in their undertaking. ’
Druggist Peck, now at the West, is.also an
extensive breeder of Plymouth Rock-s, he
considering them superior to all other varic-
ties. There are quite a number of other
breeders in South Norwalk who have the
“hen fever" bad.
Among our up-toWn pcOplo who have de-
voted particular attentiou to the raising of
fine fowls, is our: worthy ex-Selectman An-
drew Selleck. who dates back his commence-
ment some tv'venty-five years ago, when few
people thought of devoting their time and,
attention to the breeding of choice poultry
-in this country, whereas to-day there are
thousands engaged in it and millions of capi-
tal expended. One gentleman on the Hud-
son Rivcr has laid out $75,000 in the breed-
ing and raising of poultry. Mr. Selleck,
many years ago, bought and paid $40 for a
trio (3) of game fowls, (Sumatras, we think
they were), and kept the price to himself for
years afterwards, not caring to let his neigh-
‘bors know what a fool, “as he thought they
might think him to be.” .Yet today, one
hundred dollars 1's very often paid for extra
fine specimens Of the Asiatic breeds and
other varieties.
W. B. Swan, was also an extensive breeder
and poultry fancier some tWenty-five years
ago. He dealt largely in top-knot-dncks, and
fancy Black Polands with white crests, and
Golden and Silvered' Spangled Poland's.
His poultry yard was the most extensive of
any in to'wn‘ at that period.
Mr. Byington 'of the GAZETTE, also was an
importer and breeder of fowls to a limited
extent. A Norwalk sea captain, then making
regular voyages between New York and Liv-
erpool, and New York and Havre, having an
order to pick up and bring ,over everything
new or rare-he might find abroad. The first
specimen of the since noted “Jersey Blues”
ever seen licreabouts, was thus picked up in
the public market at Havre, France, and
brought to Norwalk. The same is true of a
novelty in the way of a, ‘trio of heavily top-
knotted grey Rumplets, obtained of a fancy
breeder near Liverpool, England. These rare
fowls were killed by a worthless dog econ
after reaching'Norwalk, and none are known.
to be in existence here. Perhaps the greatest
novelty ever bred here, was a setting of eggs
of the wild Canvass Back Duck, which was
procured for the senionof» the GAZETTE, by
{an old negro, on the eastern shore: .of Mary-
land. _ The ducklings were duly'hatched and
Qinioned, and grbw to be about- two-thirds
size, when they were all'stoned to death by a
then mischievous boy, but nowa prominent
‘citizen here. ' _‘
Amcng the others up town who are breed-
ing fowls fer exhibition and selling'pnrposes,
are Messrs. Berwick, A. W. Austin, Lycett,
VanZandt, Green, White, Seymour, Cram,
and lesser light. It does seem as though our
town would become famous hereafter for its
“fowl” breeding. ‘
We also learn that Hon. D. P. Ely and
Chas. E. St. John, Esq, have recently been
elected Vice Presidents of the newly organi-
zed “Southern Connecticut Poultry Associa—
tion.” It is to hold its first Poultry Show in
Bridgeport this fall. May success overtake
and never forsake it. '
\Ve hope our Agricultural Society will
provide sufficient; room, and offer reasonable
premiums for the Poultry Deparment, this
coming fall, as a good display of fowl will be
made if reasonable inducements are offered.
Certainly one of the most attractive features

EDITORS GAZETTE :—The enclosed article
I send you for publication, thinking the sug-
gestions therein will be as applicable to Nor-
walk as Hartford. I am willing to believe,
however, that our Center School, the‘only
one of 'which -I have any personal knowledge,
is equipped with as competent .a corps of
teachers as the average of such schools, but
tine, and their peculiar accompaniments of
mer'e technicalities and forms, consumes so
much time that children cannot ll master
their studies; they almost. neces rily make a
,over, not through them, or. do them by proxy.
It is obviously no easy task to take a room
full of boys and girls, snrcharged with young
America proclivities, with diverse disposi-
tions and- peculiar antagonisms, and make
themZas studious as a Grecian philosopher
and as patient as a milkman's horse.- Oh for
fled-topped Hibernian and the restless, prece-
ciOus young America, sitting side by side at
their little desks and studying out their man-
ifold examples as meckly and with that assid-
ions application and thorough success that
would be mutually gratifying to both teachers
,and parents. B, B.
.‘0verworking Children’s Brains
TO THE EDITOR on THE SUN ~30: I wish
to make a suggestion about the article on
“Overworking of Children’s Brains,” in the
Sun of the 10th inst. Children are sent to
school to learn. Instead, when children at-
tend scliool,'tliey do so merely to recite. A
class of children are given a certain number
of examples, under a certain division of the
arithmetic, to solve. They take their books
home, and fathers, mothers, brothers and sis-
ters are all asked and importnned to work out
and explain the lesson to the children. Per-
haps they altogether are not successful, and
the next morning the child appears before the
teacher with fear and trembling, presenting
an imperfect lesson. -
, The teacher‘scolds and punishes instead of
solving the problem, and the child reaches
home with a batch of new examples,in a state
of freifulncss, and what in an older person
would be called semi~insanity. As a parent
and taxpayer I have, after repeated efforts at a
reformation in this respect, withdrawn my
daughter from the public school (for the main-
tenance of which I am paying), and placed her
where she could be taught, and the teaching
not to fall on her parents, who, let me be un-
derstood, are willing to teach her, but not to
that degree which public instructors are sup-
posed to reach. .It simply resolves itself to
this : Is the school a place for more recita-
tions, or should it be a school?
HARTFORD, April 11th.
WESTPORT.
In a recent item we said in effect that “the
new cemetery will undoubtedly be asuccess."
"Mr. E. C. Benedict, of Stamford, formerly of
this place, and a good deal of a wag,» takes
exception, the ground of his; criticism resting
onlhe word “success,” the use of which, to
‘his mind, implies, evidently, that all the good
people of Westport, of whom he retains pleas.
ant memories, must. buy lots, die right off.
and be buried in the lots, that a certain rate
per 060‘. of interest may be secured on the
money invested. This is no joking matter,
but fi‘iend B., will agree with us that there
is such a thing as a successful cemetery, and
.that success depends on the number of per-
wood. Again: If, after laying outand grad-
ing this new tract and putting at its front an
elegant iron fence at great expense! and after
'ials have been made, the gentleman . from
Stamford will, we are sure, be the first to ex-
claim with us, ,"That scheme for a new cem-
cess but in failure." .
Capt. Charles Fairc-hild, of the yacht Ibis, in
the street the other day, as the latter '«was
hurrying to therailroad depot, requesting him
to ask Hubbcll & W akeman at what price
per ton they would deliver 10 tons of cOal;
coal wouldn’t be any cheaper—good time to
put in a supply for next month, etc. The
Capt. did as requested, and got .treated by
H. & “K, to fine Havana cigarsfor his trou.~
ble. Returning, theCapt. informed the citi-
zen that H. & W’s price was $5 50‘ per' ton.
in Bridgeport for $400.” “I.don’t' doubt
it,” said the Capt, and very likely you may
get coal at Elizabetliport- for $3.80, but who’s
goin‘’ to pay for transportation;” - Later in
the day a quarter of a ton of coal, bought of
a village firm, was seen 'qnietly moving
through the back yard gateway of the wealthy
fatizen. Nothing more has been heard of the
tons. ‘ -
A NEw GAMET—A man came into a res-
taurant last night, and mounting a high stool
leaned Over the counter and ordered a porter-
hOnse steak with eggs on the side, and some
ale and oysters to begin on. In about'half
an hour he had finished his repast and was be-
ginning to deliberateon what kind of desert
he would wind up on, when a man walked
ii:l and tapping him on' the shoulder, remark-

dead to rights,” continued the new comer

“ If you’d just step into the street and pace
whipping out a revolver“ he sprang off his
perch and rushed after the other into the
street. _ . ,
The frightened restaurant man got down he-
hind the connter and beat his ear to listen to
the shots and the rush of the mob; but he
didn’t hear anything unusual,and in about five
minutes he recollected there was $2.50 owing
on the meal. Then he went Out on the side-
walk to investigate. - . . . ,
‘1 Was there a row out here a few minutes

“Didn’t see any. I've been here for the

1 THE nEsr TRADE.
A new trade has sprung up between this
country and Europe which promises to' be of
enormous benefit to both countries. Beef in
London retails at- from 22 to 40 cents per
pound, which puts it out of the reach of the
laboring classes; except as a rarity. The
steamers were running from New York to
Liverpool with, very light cargoes, and the
passenger business had drppped ofi terribly
in these hard times. Beef in the carcass had
been transported from the West to New York
in refrigerator cars, and the thought occurred
to some one “why not to Europe in refrigera-
tor steamers ?” And so steamers were fitted
up for the transportation of fresh beef, and
the business began. Cattle were brought
from the far west to Chicago, Toledo and
other principal points, fed on chc'ap corn,
and slaughtered, the carcasses packed in re-
frigerator cars, brought to New York and
put into the hold of the steamers; and in ten
days the meat was exposed for sale inLondon,
as fresh and sweet as it was the day it was
killed. The effect was tremendous. Amer-
ican beef was sold in London for- twelve and
fourteen cents a p.d, and the monopolists
were troubled. They undertook to decry it
as inferior, but a trial dissipated that notion,
and now England is very largely dependent
The effect of
this trade upon the country cannot be over-
estimated. Already Over two and a half mil-
lions of dollars worth has been exported, and
the trade is increasing with wonderful rapid-
ity. From this time forward, there will be a
regular'demand for cattle for exportation,
and America will have another source of rev
enue, something more to balance our demand ‘
for foreign goods. It will be a big help to
our agricultural interest. .
THE VANDEBBILT WILL. 0
The Vanderbilt will is not settled. It was
understood that William H. had agreed to
give each of the other heirs a million, in ad-
dition to what was given to them by their
father, and that in consideration all proceed-
ings were to be stopped. He‘settled with all'
of them but Mrs. LeBan and Cornelius. He
Offered M_rs. LeBan her money, but as he de-
layed to settle with Cornelius she refused to
take it until he had settled with him. This
was not done, and so it is probable that the
whole matter will be re-opened. Cornelius’
attorney’s claim the most gross injustice in
the matter, as the way the will is worded
William is not compelled to give his brother
a cent of money for disposal as _he chooses.
They claim it makes Cornelius simply the
pensioner of his brother’s bounty, and entire-
1y dependent upon‘him, which, as the fathe
died worth one hundred millions of dollars,
they think is rather hard. As the matte
looks now there will be ,a big fight and an
ugly one. lVilliarn appears tobe determined
to carry out the provisions of the will and do
nothing more, except as he chooses, and good
lawyers believe they can break it.
Tun JEWET'I‘ TRAGEDY, AND DIB'I‘.
_ The entire inefficiency Of the police of New
York, is hown in the delay in getting any-
thing i! relation to the Jewctt tragedy.
Here were three wealthy men found on the
floor of the private office of a great ,store,
two dead and one living, with revolvers and
the fragments of a hand grenade on the floor.
What little is known about it was known be-
fore the killing. It is known that the younger
of the Jewetts was on bad terms with his
uncle and the other partner, and that it had
been decided to buy him outjand that the
meeting that morning was to conclude the
arrangement. Who killed the two men and
fearfnlly wounded the other is not known, .
and at the present rate of investigation neve
will be. The police either cannot or will not
find out anything about it. In Paris the mys— .
tery would have been solved in two hours.
And speaking of the city authorities, the
street commissioners are the last to undergo
an overhauling. During the last week it has
been very dry and very windy,aud the streets
have been well—nigh impassible by clouds of
the vilest dust that ever filled the air. Dried
mad, the offal from thousands of horses,—
'in short, the accumulations of a winter, filled
the streets. Now the city pays something
like a milllion a year to have this removed,
but it is never done. A few gangs of lazy
men scrape it to the sides in piles, and there
it lies till the wheels of vehicles pnlverizc it
into an impalpable dust,which the wind take
up and scatters through the air, the fine par-
ticles penetrating eyes, ears and the clothing
to the skin. The drivers of street cars are
compelled to wear veils like women, and
there are sore eyes enough in New York to
make the fortunes of a dozen Mulberry Sell-
ers’. .
TIIE CHARITIES.
Are mostly in a bad way. The rogues have
fallen out, and terrible facts are coming to
the surface. .There are grave charges against
St. John’s Guild, a half-dozen “homes” are
on the gridiron, and a dozeii of charities for
which large sums of money are contributed
every year, have been found to be merely
private speculations carried on for the benefit
of boards, who use a small part of the con-
tributions for relief and the big balance in
salaries, and, not to put too fine a point on it,
stealings. It is the era of speculation, but it
is a pity' that the best impulses of the people
should be so abused.
POLITICAL.
President Hayes is carrying out the princi-
-' plea that he announced would govern his ad-
ministration remorselessly, in this city. It
has been fashionable for members of Congress
audacity magnates to quarter their friends
upon the Custom House in New York, 'till it
was overrun with holders of sinecures. There
are thousands of men on the pay-roll of that
snug harbor for strikers and broken-down
politicians from all parts of the State, who
never show themselves in the building except
on monthly pay-days. Secretary Sherman’s
explicit orders to cut down the employees to
,the strict requirements of the business, strike
terror-to the hearts of the, sinecurests, espec—
eially as they know it will be done. And
the thousands who expected to be placed, but
who see that under this administration there
is no chance for it, are also indignant.
Whenéver you hear a gentleman, with a nose
at all red, and not addicted to labor,'express
an opinion that the President’s southern poli-
cy will prove a failure, ascertain whether he
has not recently been dismissed from a ens-
tom house, or was not recently an applicant
for a position. In this city party lines are
beingvrapidly obliterated among good men,
and for that matter among bad ones. For
the democrats who would have places if Til-
den had been elected, join in cursing Hayes,
with Republicans who have been unceremoni-
ously turned out. The President can endure
the displeasure of both classes.
_ 1 BUSINESS _
is not so good as I had expected, but the
‘ merchants still hope for a fair Spring trade.
The settlement of the Southern troubles, and
the prospect of a good, stable government,
they argue must bring about a revival'of bus-
iness. It is singular that South Carolina mer-
chants have made their appearance here much -
more freely since the settlementof the from
bles in that State. PIB’I'BO.
65' The Grand Central Hotel, New York,
has exceeded all its former prosperity by its
well-timed judicious concession .to the
popular dem .d for reduced rates. It made
the first red uction from $4.00 to $2.50 and
$3.00. ' "
. M.,—.—
The complaint against the new steam street
cars in Philadelphia is not that they are noisy,
but that they rim so quietly that pedestrians
are endangered. They are run‘ at less expense
than horse cars and are better patronized.
y .
A San Francisco broker’s wife suddenly
came home from Europe. A French 10rd had
ofi'e d for $100,000 to marry her daughter,
and e slatted at once to consult her 'hus-
band. They took up the offer and she ,went
{back to Paris with the stamps.
