New Yontr, Sept. 80m. 1877.
It is justly held stupid to open conversa-
tion with speaking of the weather, but the
rule doesn’t apply to such weather as we have
now. Today completes a week of perfect
sunny, cool, delicious days that are the charm
of the Hudson river country in' September.
Farmers begin to talk of a drouth, but the
country needs a few weeks of such days to
dry out healthily after the soaking rains of
summer. ‘
,_
run era-rs convnsmon. . .
The New York State Convention opened
with what very many sanguine republicans
" utrepicnsed‘ to 'term a slip 'at the adfiinistra-
tion. The adoption of a most moderate and
‘ just platfo:m, advising resumption, denounc-
' ingsubsidies, insisting Oaths rights of labor
and capital to an,. equalhearing, and express-
ing no .opinion on the administration policy,
while hoping it will resnlt in' peace at- the
South, and promising that “0.3K“- of the re-
publicans of .New York shall be withheld for
its success. _It can hardly fail of approval
from all men not pledged to the support of
measures and mchl‘rather than 6f fiinciples.
Ex Ctingt‘essinan‘di'ard madethe strongest
possible answer to allfault-flnding in the pithy
dc laraiion that if the announcement of re-
publican principles be the condemnation of
the administration, let that condemnation
fall. The good'republicans Of the State do
not derive, great encouragement from the
sight of aPresidt-nt escorted and flattered by
ex-rebels, who have never shown any cons
vineing proofs of a change of heart. They
do not relish ,themodest demand to appoint
Herschel ijdjchnscn to the vacancy on the '
’ supreme bench. The late news from Missis-
sippi which 're'ads as if dated before the war,
with: the~sight of “reconciled” democrats
surrounding republican speakers with shot-
gunsin good oltl.fasltioned-southern fashion
is not the exact style Of harmony preferred
hem, and sound republicans, who professed
their faith beftne thebattle .oféAntietam, de-
sire-1o have it dis'inctly. understood that the
hart'npnyxha'a not g'oMo be entirely on their
side. . The administration, say. 'these repub-
licans, talks too much in the vein of the man
who believed in unanimity in families, and
‘ complained that he was always unanimous
but his wife wasn’t.’ At‘least the New York
convention/had the courage to express its
opinions, and nobody has any'» difficulty in
knowing what its words and acts mean.
‘ BOOK shuts.
The trade sale of books held last week and
this has exceeded the hopes of dealers, and a
million dollars’ worth of books will be bpoh
the market in the next ten days. That means
that people have money once more, and be-
gin to buy books- and surround themselves
with comforts and indulgencesyagain. A
bookseller who attended the sale from Illi-
nois, said the great harvest was no sooner
gathered in August than he began to sell-
more books than he had done before fora
year. Books will be cheaper than they have
been since the war, as auction prices ruled
twenty per cent. below the
rates. -
ntvan acorDa-x'rs.
The sunny afternoons tempt small craft
out on the river, and one of the worst forms
of town savagery is the recklessness with
which larger vessels wreck those that come
in their way. Hardly a day- passes without
an account Of a row-boat run down and her
_ crew sunk by a tug or lighter, out-Of pure
wantonness. The river pilots are utterly
careless of human life, and laugh at it as fine
sport to run down a pleasure boat with two
or three boys and girls aboard. Two weeks
ago a party of boys and girls in their teens,
living in the same tenement house, went out
from the foot of analstreet about su’nset for
a row, and found a. small steamer bearing
down upOn them. .They changed their Course
when the bout changed hers so as to bring
them exactly in her path, ran them down,
and kept on her way, never paying attention
to the screams of the creatures struggling in
the water. A girl of sixteen was drowned;
one . of the boys succeeded -in swimming
ashore with the other, though his own leg
was brbken in two 'places and his shoulder
crushed. The officers of the flag-ship Min-
nesota have made complaint to the pilot com-
missioner that one of their boats going ashore
made signal of danger toa tug comingfits
way, to which no attention was paid, and an
, apprentice'boy from the ship was_,drcwned
' in the collision. They said it was no uncom-
mon thing for steam tugs to deliberately run
down small-heats. People's lives are literal-
ly in the hands of the coarse and demoniac
set who fill the posts of car drivers and river
pilots.
ccamuonr BANK.
The Claimant Savings Bank failed for
only $100,000, but the history of its defalca-
tions reads very much like the practice of
many similar institutions outside the city,
where rural virtue is supposed to flourish;
How many country banks are there which
refuse to lend their money to friends of the
ofiicers, or which do not have little outside
' affairs in_-which the help of the bank comes
handy. Howmany presidents there are who
consider themselves figureheads, and take the
word of the people at the bank that, every-
thing is right, when they; spare time from
' their other pressing businessto- lock .into its
doors. How many} trustees there are , who
who don’t know howm'uchi things are going
on in theirbahii, but area-tor grantedfthat
it is an right, justflike j the trustees or the
Clairmont bank,- ope Of- whom did, not know
his name was Onithejlist, while another had
withdrawn months ago, though his name had
not been taken on; What hasty release of
hypothec‘ated . securities 'is ' necessary some .
times to get everything clear for the inspcc:
tion of the trustees when they happen to
grow curious, and how handy it comes when
a friend is a secretary of a bank,to borrow of
him, on a note of hand,rto tide cveralow
place. When these things come to a climax,
it is small comfort for the president to say
that he considered the concern only a little
one-horse bank anyhow, and he doesn't see
any sense in making such a fuss about it,—
like the worthy Mr. Broadhead of the Clair-
mont bank. The sense: of honor among
many business men amounts to just enough
to make them meet their obligations before
banking hours close, to keep their, credit
good,——and outside of this, they are as reck-
less of others' interests confided to_ them as
the bay pilots are of the row boats in their
way. I
LOW PRICES.
It seems like old times, when one goes out
to do fall shopping again, and a man buys a.
good Wamsutta and linen shirt ready made
for a dollar,and a calico wrapper for his wife
for another dollar, and a pair of button
boots for his six-year old for another dollar
still. There are plenty of six-dollar a yard
goods for fine ladies but the prices are low
enough where they should be,on cheap things
such as an ordinary people want, and I‘
often wish that readers who live where prices
take the profits off the big harvest, and the
skill of the seamstress and shoemaker is hard
to come at, could benefit by the cheap con-
veniences of city life.

terproof in the tartan plaids have long been
favorites for service in England, but this fall
is the first time they have been 'worn here. A

both ladies and young girls cannot be too
highly recommended. The sacque seen on
nearly all the fallsnits is of such simple and
convenient cut that9country readers are at!-
vised to procure patterns withogt delay. It
is known as the French sacque, fitting close-
ly in the back with two or four pieces as de-
sired, and fitting the figure gracefully in
front by a single dart and gore di-
-rectly under the arm without any cross seam
at the waist. Ladies will recognize how

E. A. Woodward’s New Life.

Emsoorar. Cuuuou 1N Sougru Ncnwnmr.
Mr. E. A; Wooodwurd,'who used to dis-
tribute percentages to members of the Tweed

Aldertnau's Committee. "He is a changed
man," a resident of South Norwalk said yes.
terday. “Formerly his workmen here were
allowed to idle away their time. He was sat-
which he might feel justified in paying them
wages. Now he is one of the best business
men in the place. He is busy now all day
long, either at his hat factory or in collecting
what he can of the money he formerly lent
so freely to his friends. Most of these got
their money so easily that they ran into extra
expenses, and now find it impossible tore:
store‘the loans. He was a~vestryman of the
Episcopal Church, and promised the gentler
members Of the church that he would make
good any deficiency that there might be after
they .had built a rectory. They went ahead
and put up a costly edifice; but just as they
ivere'abcut to ask Mr. Woodward to make
good his promise, the Ring was exposed and
he fled, leaving the church in the lurch. .
“Woodward was very. liberal. He gave
two‘ ladies his check for $100 toward build-
ing the Methodist chapel‘across the river, al-
though he had never seen them before. One
,dayas he was lying in' the shade Of a tree in
his grounds, a man came to him and said he
knew Of a splendid corner to open a saloon.
‘Why don‘t you open it, then 1”» was Mr
.Woodward’s inquiry. .‘Because I shall have
to buy the property, and I haven’t the
money.’ -The next day the7'man owned the
eligible corner, and lifr. Woodward held
nothing but a mortgage on the property.”
“Yes; Woody has changed a great deal,"
saia member of > the Episcopal Gurch, with
whom a reporter for the Sun conversed. “He
attends closely to business now. And anoth-
er thing, I’ve seen indications that he believes
more than he used to that God is the over-
ruler of the universe. For instance, once I
heard him say something like this: ‘I trav-
elled thousands .Of miles while I was away,
but in all my traveling onrrailroads and steam-
ships, I never onccihought about accidents;
yet. when at. last all my trouble was over,and
I got on the train,,a free man, to come here
to see my wife and children, I trembled with
fear that there might be an acccident, and
wondered at the overruling Providence that
had protected me so long.’ "
Mr. Woodward is said to be desirous of re-
instating himself in his-old position of influ-
ence among his fellow citizens of South
Norwalk. He attended the. last annual elec-
tion of vestrymen in the church" with about
a dozen other members of the society. When
the ballots were counted one of them was
found to bear his name. An elderly member
of the society approached him and saidin a
kindlv way: “Mr. Woodward, you'd better
withdraw your name. Your election is' im-
possible. If things go on quietly for a few
years perhaps we could take you in again,but
now it can't be.,’ Mr. Woodward said noth-
ing. In One of -the succeeding ballots, ac-
cording to the best recollection of the junior
warden, Mr. Woodward got two votes. He
was not elected. . '
. The duties of a vestrymen are to attend to
the financial and other business affairs of the
church. It was the impression of one of the
members of the society that Mr. Woodward
cast a vote for himself in order to test the
feeling of the church. This he denied. A14
thOugh a member of the society, he is not a
communicant. Nevertheless he is eligible to
election as'vestryman.
Not long ago, Woodward desired to be a
trustee in the South Norwalk Savings Bank,
but was not elected. Soon afterward he
withdrew some money that he had on depos-
it there. _ >_
Mr. Woodward has lost some of the suavi-I
ty that made him so presentable in the old
days. At times he is said to be even morose.
Nevertheless, he is always jovial and hospit-
able in his splendid mansion. He does not
spend so much money as formerly, but there
is apparently no lack of pains in caring for
the’houseand grounds. ‘ The latter are enter-
ed through a handsomely arched gateway. A
graded carriage drive winds for half a mile
[through hills planted with shade trees} and
adorned with statues. ' At intervals by the
roadside are large iron vases, overhanging
with well-watered, blooming plants Of sev—
eral contrasting varieties. In front of the
:house isalarge fountain in perpetual play.
At the fountain are statues rising from flower
beds, under the shade of many stately elms.
The house is very large. It is furnished
without regard to expense. The land on
which it stands is enlosed (with a heavy stone
wall, though it is nearly one hundred acres
in extent. There are large stables in the rear
of the house, and on the shore of the Sound
are handsome summer and boat houses—N.

Meriden bears testimony to the returning
business prosperity. All her large manufac-
tories have larger orders than for six years
past; some of them run until midnight, and
part of the Britannia force are kept busy
through the night.

During my first year in college, however,
I became the owner of three flying squirrels,
and soon found" that they could more as _
much amusement and do as much mischief"
I8 I monkey i and. during the ; to... that I
owned them, we were never tired of watch-
ing them.
. I kept them in the trap in which they were
caught, a common wire .rat- , with a door
at each end. This I placed upon a bracket on
the wall between two windowccf the room,
so that they could reach it easily by running
up the window curtams‘ . and jumping from
them to the cage. In a short time they be
came so tame that the cage was fastened
open, antkleft so all the time-,andevery night,
about day-break, and they. wouldnm up the
curtain,‘jump into the cage, and curl up un-
der the epitomwith which it was filled, and
sleep all day, rolled up with their tails wrap.
ped around their bodies; and covering their
heads, so that they looked: like little round
fur balls. If they were disturbed during the
_day they were very sluggish and. inactive,
and hunted out another darkcorner as soon
as they were allowed their liberty ;’ and no
one who has seen them only in the day-time
can understand what active, wide awake,
animals they are after dark. - ‘
Sometimes they choose very odd places to
hide and sleep in, when they are driven out
of their nest in the day time. The pockets
and sleeves Of , the clothes which hung in the
wardrobe were favorite hiding-places, and the
bed was another. They would crawl in be-
tween the pillowcase andgthe pillow, and
sleep there all day, and sometimes 'I have
found all three of them in bed with me when
I awoke in the morning. They. would climb
up my coat-sleeve while I was studying, and
go to sleep under my arm, and th were
very angry if they were disturbed, mag: in
of course I could not keep still all day—
their convenience.
About twilight every evening they would
come out , of. their hiding" ' ‘ place and play
around the room, and were as wide awake
all night as they had been sleepy all day.
They_were very fond of playing in my hair,
and often the first. notice I would receive that
they were out for the evening would be their
coming. down with a flying leap from the top
;of the window plump upon my head, as I sat
reading crtalking. When‘hias‘engaged in
.study, such an interruption was rather start-
ling at first, as they always awoke and came
out of. the cage,togetber,.so that, before the
first had time to recoverhis balance _after his -
leap, the secondwuuld alight in the same
place,:and while they were struggling with
each other to gain a footholdthe third would
strike on top of them, and‘ perhaps knock
one or bothof them on upon my collar or
shoulders; but they usuall' y jumped' back
fimy head again, and for a minute or two I
would have all three scuflling together in my
hair.
In ‘a short time I learned to expect this
visit about dark- every evening, and I was
very much pleased to see that they scon
learned to know me, and always selected my
head when there were visitors in the room,
I never discovered that my visitors felt
slighted by. this neglect, Or were at till sorry
that their heads were not: “wind in the same
way. ' ~ - .
They were very fond of'perching upon the
picture nails,3and”Elimbing upon ’the cord,
and would often carry a nut u’p dad sit
there and eat it, and then drOp the empty
shell behind the picture. ' - ,
They had one great. feat which was very
amusing. They' would run up the _side of
the door-(Ming to the top,‘ and .~ then drop
down to the door knob, and try to sit- there;
but as it was round and smooth they had
great dimculty in clinging togit, and usually
slipped off on the floor, one after the other,
and raced back to the top Of- the door to try
'it again. - , - ' ‘
' Occasionally one would almost succeed in
gaining a seat upon the knob, but before he
had time to get’ faiily balanced, another
would drop down and strike him, and both
would fall to the floor. , ,
They would entail kindsrcf nuts, but they
seemed to be much" fender of insects. and
were busy a great part of the evening. catch-
ing the large maths and beetles which are so
abundant in the early . summer. They. would
hang by the claws -of their hind paws to the
lower edge of the sash of an open window,
and watch for an insect to fly pest them. If
it was near enough to reach they would seize
and eat it as they hung in the window. If
itwas not near-enough for them to‘ reach it
in this way, they would sail 'out, into the room
after it, and in most cases catch itbefcre
, alighting. , g . _
' Their large, projecting 'eyes, ‘fitted for see-
ing in the night, and their power of ‘saihng
short distancesfthrough the air, flt' thein per-
fectly‘for , the capture of insects; but nuts
must furnish the larger pm_ 'of their foOd, for
they may be trapped inthe dead of 'winter
when there are so few insects that they can-
not depend upon them. ,_ . .
They have the instinct absurdly most of
the gnawing animals, such as field mice,
striped squirrels and be'avers,—of storing up
in the fall a supply of food to he used _in the
winter. One. of which I kept several years,
afterthose of which I have been telling you,
dropped nearly a peek of hickory nuts down
' a hole which a mouse had' gnawed in. the floor
of my clokt, thinking that ’he was storing
up a rich supply which _he could draw_ upon
, when he should need them.
They probably 'live upon-nuts: and seeds in
the. Fall ,and Winter, and their power of
catching insects helps them to, gain a living
