Help for the Sick.
We invite the generous attention of all our .
readers to the “card” of the Norwalk Medical
Association, and urge a full attendance’at the
meeting proposed. ' '
A CARD.
At a meeting of the Norwalk Medical As-
sociation, at the residence of Dr. J. E. Bar-
borir, August Stlr, to consider the condition
and need of the worthy and suffering poor of
the Town, it was resolved to invite the co-op-
eration of the charitably inclined in ,devisrng
measures of relief. All citizens wishing to
take part in this urgently needed'cbarity, are
respectfully invited to meet at the Norwalk
Atheuienm, (oyer grocery store of Selleck
Bros.) Centennial Building, Tuesday evening
August 14th, at 7:30 o'clock.
Dr. Jas. G. Gregory had, $50 put in his
hands last week by an anonymous giver,with
the request that the money be used where
rrrost needed. The Doctor assures us that it
u as a most timely god-send, for at that very
time he was in attendance upon a sick family
the father of whom had only been able to
earn $20 the past six month’s, and the poor
mother had saved the children from utter
s‘arvation by washing.
Trades Unions.
An appeal signed by Justus Sahwab and
Leander Thompson. of Tompkins Square no-
toriety, and other Communists, has been is-
sued, askirrg citizens to subscribe for the ben-
efit of 4,000 Communists imprisoned in New
Caledonia, who are described as “our broth-
emf—Exchange.
The European Commune is a system that
has made rapid and most alarming growth on
the shores of the western continent. The
old times Trades Unions, which were first
organized with only a proper regard fpr the
welfare of American mechanics, have appar-
ently run rapidly into the worst features of
the Paris Communistic doctrines. In the
city of New York it has become notorious that
these Trades Unions are mainly controlled
by men of foreign birth, while a majority of
the memberships comprised foreigners and
native hoodlums, so that the reputable me-
chanic inveigled into joining a-Union, was
. left the alternative of desertiug his member-
ship aud becoming a target for special perse-
cutions, or else yielding to the rules enacted
by the vilest of his trade. This has resulted
in driving immense amounts of manufactur-
ing and labor out of our great cities, and no.
tably so out of New York. The ship build-
ing business as a sample, once so enormous
and profitable, has been almost entirely driv-
en from New York by the Trades’ Unions.
The recent strikes and riots along our great
railroad lines, have opened the eyes of the
nation to the perils that environ us, and the
necessity of most stringent laws for the sup:
pression of all combinations out of which such
arsons and murders may come. While no
power may enforce the laborer to work at
less than his own price, no power must pre-
vent another man, if willing, from filling the
vacant place. Then there is an absolute cru-
elty and tyranny exercised by the modern
Tradcs’ Unions, in the matter of apprentices.
As new constituted these Unions step into
any proprietor’s shop and say you shall not,
take a young lad, however worthy, well-fit-
ted or eager he may be, and learn him a
trade except by our leave. Perhaps the lad
may be the proprietor’s own son, it matters
uot,if he puts him at work without permission
of the Union, all his society workmen must,
perforce, strike and quit work. This one
feature of the modern Trades’ Union tyran-
ny has filled all our large cities with a class of
young men, made thieves, bullies'and vaga-
borrds, for no other reason than that it was
mpossr'ble for them to learn any trade. It is
m neu¢thntllluodpsrljluinm mechanics. Who
to see the terrible consequences which inev-
itably follow in. the train of the system of
rules adopted by these combinations, ostensi-
bly for mutual protection. 0
Many large establishments have recently
been absolutely compelled to insist that their
workmen shall not be “Union members.”
The New York Tribune submitted to the tyr-
anny of the Printers’ Union until its dicta-
tion and control of that paper’s business be-
came intolerable, when at much inconven-
ience, it bravely cast out all its members and
now employs only non-union men. The Tri-
bune pays the same wages that “Union" ofli-
ces pay, but it prefers to manage its business
itself rather than to be ruled by an outside
organization, which in its turn, is governed
by the least sensible and worst disposed por-
tion of its membership. ‘
We are led to these observations by the fact.
that a traveling agent or emissary professing
to be. an authorized representative of a Na-
tional Workingmen’s Union, visited Ntflalk
last week and interviewed certain of our more
prominent mechanics, and notified them that
on a certain day they would be expected to
“strike.” He stated that this strike was to
be universal throughout the United States,
and that all productive industries were to be
brought to a standstill, and all work stopped
until such time as workingmeu can dictate
their own prices for their labor throughout
the country. ,
We, of course, have no means of knowing
what reliance is to be placed upon this emis-
sary’s statements. We only know that the
workmen he visited here bad faith that he
came by authority, and that his assertion that
similar agents were canvassing every state,
was fully believed. If it be true, as asserted,
that there is to be an universal strike through-
out the country, of I all classes and kinds
of workingmen, the fact cannot be too soon
made public or too widely promulgated,
that wiser counsels may be urged and possi-
bly prevail. The scheme in the present con-
dition of business is worthy only the brain
of madmen. When there are ten men idle
to every one having work at any price, such
a plot means simply anarchy and revolution.
In the~ present instance, this professed Na:
tional Union agent, struck at least one sensi-
ble mechanic. He owns his home and has a
family to support. When urged to adhere to
his Uuion obligations and strike, at the pre-
concerted moment, our citizen replied, “Why
should I join in a strike? My employers
pay me all the wages I ask of them. _My
only grievance is that they have not the work
now, so that they eau'kcep me constantly em-
ployed, as heretofore. How shall I better
my condition or that of my family, by refus-
ing the little work I can get, inasmuch as I
know itis allmy bosses have to give me ?”
Thus the argument ran, and the only reply
was, that by the rules of the Union, all -its
members were obliged to join in a strike,
when so ordered by the National Labor
Union, even though individually the local
members are entirely satisfied and are receiv-
ingUnion prices for their work.
After the events of the past few weeks, it
becomes these Trades Unions wherever lo-
cated, to unite in some authoritative state-
ment as to whether their mlea authorize and
endorse the riotings, burnings, and murders
which have so disgraced our nation and our
civilizations. These “Unions" exist here in
Norwalk, as they do in every city and town
of Mechanical or manufacturing importance,
and if their rules and regulations impose a
slavish obedience to a set of foreign Commun-
ists, it is time the decent mechanic denounced
and abandoned'sueh association, or that an
outraged public, frowned them down. No
one of right may complain of any honest ef-
fort made to improve the status of the labor-
ing man. But 9. "Trades Union” that is gov-
erned by rules copied from the Courrnune,
that refuses work itself and: by brute force,
prevents others from accepting work, is a
plant of foreign growth and must not be per"
mitted growth on free, American soil. If
capital and labor, may not be permitted to
work handin band together, in mutual help-
l'rilness, then farewell to our best hopes for
better times and improved business, If the
money of the capitalist is to be at theamercy'
of mobsand unlawful combinations of work-
uever be putid _ . overty,want"‘and dis;

But all mechanlcfi,“hbd all “Unidn’k mem-
bersfbre not_:;f'f6bls Vera-abject slaves,<;a,ud we
‘ hay? faith ”to hell-dire that the exdessés and
crimes wrought in the name of Labor Unions
will lead to a weeding out of their baser ele-
ments, or else a total reorganization or aban-
donment of the system. As at present con-
stitucd and interpreted, some of these “Un-
ions" work evil and only evil not only to the
best interests of society but of ' the worthy
laborer himself, who of all men, is most wor—
thy of his hire.

Steamers in the Sound.
Tom Byrues, the veteran sound navigator,
is recounting for the New York Graphic some
”reminiscences of the early days of steamboat-
iug on the soon .1. He says the first steamer
was run in 1832‘. Tom is all wrong about the
date, as can easily be shown. It is onlya few
weeks since we published a letter from Corn-
modore Vanderbilt to the then editor of this
paper, rcfering to certain complaints about
the management of the steamboat Citizen, and
dated July 6, 1830, and we‘know that steam-
boats were.running on the sound for some
years previous to that dates—Stamfordzideo-
cafe.
You are right, Mr. Advocate. Steamers
were running to Norwalk long before that.
'In the spring :of 1824, the steamer Gen. La-
Fayette was running on this route, making
tri-weekly trips, fare $1.00; In July of the
same year, the “new dud elegant” steamboat
John Marshall, Capt. Penuoyer, commenced
regular trips. This'boat was announced as
“built of the best materials, copper fastened,
and butt bolted, and no pains spared to make
hcra tine, substantial, and safe B'oat. She
has a supeiiir Engine, and Passengers may
rely on being perfectly SAFE on board.”
Many of our elder citizens remember these
boats. Probably the LaFayettc was not the
the first one on this route, as no additional
mention is made of her, whatever. In, 1818
we had a sort of Palace Express Packet, :1
“fast sailing sloop." of which Capt. Samuel
Daskam was master. This was “intended
solely for the accommodation of Passengers,
having three elegant and spacious c1bins,witlr
42 berths,” and must have been a fine vessel
for those days, probably built in response to
the demands of the times for “rapid transit”
—thc other packets taking freight. Of course
the steamers soon ruined the business of these
sailing vessels. In 1818, as we learn from
les of the GAZETTE, steamers made the trip
rom New York to Philadelphia in 11 hours,
and in 1819 a Government expedition up the
Missouri, “destined for the Yellow Stone,”
consisted of the steamers “Exchange, Jeffer—
son, Johnson and Expedition." The boat
which Fulton constructed for the navigation
of Long Island Sound must have been- run-
stcamboat navigated the waters of the Sound
as early as 1813 or 1814. Who knows?
The interior improvements of the First
Congregational church are approaching com-
pletion. Workmen have been engaged for a
fortnight past in replacing the works of the
organ, and will finish this week, to the entire
satisfaction of the organist. The church will
probably be ready for occupancy about the
time the pastor returns from his vacation.
Bridgeport Congregational church, occupied
the pulpit of the Second M. E. Church on
Sunday last. Many from other congregations
assembled to hear him, and were much pleas-
ed with his discourses.
President F._St. John Lockwood has made
a great improvement on his side of East Ave.
nuc, in widening that beautiful thoroughfare
at its narrowest point, and leveling the ground
preparatory to putting down a walk. There
isa nobility about the two stone piers just
erected at either end of his lot front, which
gives an added dignity to the unique and sub-
tantial fence, which under the transforming
hand of builder Golding, now wears an air

“Small potatoes and few in a hill,” will not
apply to the potato crop in this region this
year. We hear good reports from all sides,
of the large, yes, enormous yield this year,
they generally turning out not only large
numbers in a hill brit of large size.. Mr, Geo.
A. White, a Gazette employee, brought in on
Saturday, eleven. Early Rose potatoes dug
out one bill, they would fill a half peck meas-
ure, and were all sorrnd and fair. Provi-
ldence is mercifully providing cheap food for
the struggling masses this seasdn.

One of our-undertakers thinks that our filthy
streets and utter disregard of all health regu-
lations in reference to cleanliness in the back
yards of large tenement houses, are the princi-
pal causes of so much mortality among the
young children of the town. He denies that
mortality in the Over River School District
than in any other portion of the town, as
has been circulated. In fact, he says there
has not been so many in that district as in
some others, and of thirty young clrildrcu
buried by him within a short time, twelve only
died of Diphtheria, the other eighteen. were
of Cholera Infantuln or Summer Complaint.
He says that through the thickest portion of
the Borouglr,.after 10 o’clock'at night, the
foul stench from filthy streets iii front and
the more rank and offensive odor from pig-
stys and slop drains in the back-yards, is the
his opinion. He has been called out pfbfes-
sionally at all heurs of the night and claims
to speak knowingly and understandingly of
the situation. If this? is so, our health offi-
cers ought to bestir themselves apd investi-
gate the matter fully, and see that~ _tlre ordi-'
nanees in regard to keepingof swine in the
streets are qccasionallycleaned and purified.
Anew enterprise has becnfdevcloped ‘rc-.
cently, and so farfiscms to pay. It is simply
the sale of seats on the Adelphi. 0n Satur-
day last, one gentleman paid $1.50 for seats
for two lady friends; another claimed to
have paid $1.00 for a seat, and still another
$1.25 for a single seat. Of course the seats
were bought of passengers, who had secured
them, and by selling gained three times the
cost of fare. , - '

The frightful disaster on the Long Branch
Railroad, which was almost miraculously
saved from being as terrible a slaughter as
the N orwalk draw accident, turns out to have
been caused. by the failure of the bridge ten-
der to lock his draw. It recalls a similar
event here, following but a few days after
the great accident, when our draw was found
unaccountably unlocked, and a freight
train barely escaped being precipitated into
the harbor below. _. ' ~ ‘ j ’

A liorse-car passenger very i-igliteously
complains that smokers puff their horrid to-
bacco from the front instead of the rear

number.) would blow awriy witlrorrt being re-

Saturday upon in Cashier Street‘s bonnie, "Lo-

They pitched their-tents on the little island
east of Smith's Island, and are now supposed
to be enjoying themselves as much as possi-
ble. Their friends should “drop in ” upon
them and see how they manage affairs. The
party is composed of the following named
gentlemen: —-Charles 11., Street, Thomas
Cousins, C. W. Many, Sylvester Smith, E. H.
Parker, and Charles F. Marvin. J. H. Hub-
bard is chef de cuisine. Messrs. Stephen Cour-

The Collectorship.
The new State Law in regard to the col-
lection of Town Taxes, together with the
vote passed in Town Meeting last Fall, to
limit the pay’of the Collector to $900, ctc.,
has forced Collector Raymond to decline
receiving the Rate Book for this year. As
he was duly elected, he is reluctant to give
up, but in justice to hinuelf feels obliged so
to.do. This state of affairs has been considq
ered by the selectmen, and they have made
an arrangement with Burr Smith, Esq., to
collect the tax. Mr. Smith has had much
experience "as a collector, is thoroughly con-
versant with the laws, and will be sure to
look out for the interests of the town. The
Selectmen have been fortunate in securing
such an efficient ‘ successor to Collector Ray-
mond.

On Tuesday last, was, as is generally the
case with the undertakings of these churches,
a grand success. Our, streets were crowded
early with a rush of passengers for the boat,
and at hour of starting the Laura was dense-
ly crowded by a happy assemblage of excur-
zbienists. The committees worked' faithfully
and industriously to have everything pass off
bucccssfully and pleasantly, and can well feel
gratified with the success achieved. Supt.

A pleasant compliment was made last Sat-
urday evening, by the guests at the Dorlon
House, to its genial proprietor and his good
lady. The occasion was the twenty-first an-
niversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Dorlon. It had been their habit each year to
take a little excursion out of the city, and
this had been continued without. exception
year after year. Circumstances, however,
prevented that custom this year, and the
guests learning their disappointment, resolved-
to give them a pleasant surprise at home.
The ladies held a meeting and agreed upon a
basket of flowers of handsome pattern. The
figures 185i; and 1877 to be worked in with
flowers anTthe letter D to be placed in the
centre. The design was left with Mrs. T. S.
Vanderlioo'f, and the basket was beautiful in
execution as well. The gentlemen were not
idle, and during the afternoon, they arranged
for an illumination of the house. Chinese
lanterns were hung from the house to the
trees, and at uiglrt the scene was quite pic-
turesque. The basket was placed at the head
of the table where Mr. and Mrs. Dorlon sat.
They did not know of its presence until they
were abou'o take their seats. Both were
indeed surprised, and Mr. Dorlon was visibly
affected; The best compliment after all, per-
haps, was the ready zeal with which-all Went
into the affair, and the genuine good feeling
manifested toward host and hostess by the
guests of their beautiful summer house.

A Borough taxpayer complains to us that
the Borough does not economize as it ought

the matter of street lighting. That the bid

company per lamp that was paid in years
past when coal and wages were double pres-
ent prices. Our Borough reformers ought to

, VAN, July 2, 1877.
Enr'rons Gazn'rriiz—I enclose just a line to
let you and other friends know that so far we
are unharmed. For the past six days I have
been alone at the Station, and during that
time have heard nothing from the island
where all tlicn'est are. “look before last I
went to the island where I spent two nights.
Was then brought back‘ to the farm house ou’
the main land belonging to the monastery,
where my horse was, and for the first time
were a fez. * * There has been fighting at
Bayazid, but we are in ignorance as to the
exact results. Seventy prisoners have been
brought in. The small Russian garrison left
at B. shut itself up in the barracks, and the
Klioords (so the story is told by Arminians
here,) because they were repulsed with con-
siderable slaughter in their attempt to storm
the barracks, rocked their vengeance on the
nou-eombattants of the city. It is related to
me, as from the letter of an eye-witness, that
they seized young children by the hair with
one hand and cut their throats with the other;
that they ravislrcd women and then murder-
ed them; that they broke into the house of a
leading musslcman where forty christian fam-
ilies had been received for protection, and
killed every one, including the worthy house
owner. I cannot vouch for these stories fur-
ther than to say that Turks admit that they
killed nou-combattauts,’-botli women and.
children. * * I yesterday saw a reliable
man from Bashkala. He says the villages
there are all deserted, and that Khoords from
Persia have stripped every christian village
except Bashkala itself, where the Kaimakan
is. Everything was taken, and the villagers
- were literally stripped, leaving not a rag to
cover their nakedness. Many have fled to
Persia.

Under date of J unc 8th, Mrs. Barnum
writes to aNorwalk friend :—
“ A little more than two weeks ago, part of
our missionary circle, Mr. Scott and family,
Mrs. Raynolds, and I with my two children,
set sail from our Station, Van, in our mission-
ary boat, leaving Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Bar-
num at home with our “stuff.” We landed
on the little island of Akhtaman in Lake
Van. It is now the residence of the Catho-
licos, a bishop and some twenty Vartabeds,
(Armenian), and on it is an ancient monas-
tery, the chapel of which is said to be 1500
years old—a‘wonderful building in its carv-
'ings and marks of age. They received us
cordially and showed us kindness in many
ways, giving us a room in the monastery
which we use for kitchen and dining room.
I wish you could sit with me in my tent-
door and look out upon the Wondrous beauty
of the scene—the blue lake at our feet, to-day
white capped; and beyond it 'the mainland
dotted with villages, and the horizon bound-
ed by the everlasting mountains, some of
them covered with snow. Directly across
from our tent-door lies the city of Van with
its high rock keeping watch over it, and its
green gardens stretching away over the plain
toward the mountains. It is a beautiful
scene, seldom surpassed. ,Oh that the day
may speedily come when this whole region
. may blossom with a spiritual beauty equal to
its natural beauty." ' -
The above is part only of Mrs. Baruum’s
letter. More of it may be given hereafter.
