Per Order Tows Con. MOW—— EDITORIAL LETTER. __._. Wasuiscrou, February 23d, 1878. Dean Gazurru :— srnvnn wms. With more sag .city than the House was ex- pected to evince, it has swallowed the Silver Bill and all the Senate amendments without a grimace. This was simply smart legislation. An effort was made by the hot-heads to get the amended bill referred to committee, but the cooler heads were too wise to permit this, avowing their determination to get so much certain and then secure more by separate bill, if possible. Mr. Bland is very much dissat- isfied with the Bill as it is, and insists that our national prosperity will never return until his pet scheme is strictly enacted. In the shape it now has passed both Houses the silver men are sure of a two-thirds vote, should the President veto it, which is now claimed to be less certain than hitherto. Sen- ator Allison, who has interviewed the Presi dent, asserts that the vote being over two- thirds in either House, by which the bill passed, the President will sign the bill and content himself merely by stating his personal objections. Mr. Allison also had a talk with Senator Sherman and asked what his course would be upon the Silver Bill becoming a law, and our sound finance minister at once replied that it would be his duty and purpose to execute this, as all other laws, however much he might feel a personal objection to it. He deemed it a most unwise and mischievous enactment, nevertheless his duty was plain to execute it in good faith, hoping that his fears of its pernicious results might prove ground- less. BESUMI’TION Burlap. The repeal of the Resumption Act is going to be our next exciting contest in Congress. A majority will be found to favor this mad scheme in both Houses, without a doubt, but, it is not believed this measure can be carried over the President's veto, which it is sure to encounter, as it deservedly should. run saw TARIFF. Fernando Wood‘s new Tariff Bill is beset on all sides and its passage becoming more and more uncertain every day. The Penn- sylvania delegation are solid in opposition to the whole bill. Mr. Wood has endeavored, undoubtedly, to tinker up a free trade, under - the delusion that he could so far lioodwink the protectionists as to secure the support of both sides of the question when it should come to be voted on in the House. He has adroitly sought to consolidate the South and West and leave New England and the Middle States out in the cold. He is reported as saying that the latter sections had been “pro- tected to diath," and now it was time that the West and South were considered in the interest of free trade with all the world. CONVENTIONS. This has been a week of conventions. The Export Convention, the Agricultural Conven— tion, the'Forcster's Convention, and a con- vcntioneor Congress of the 0. U. Americans, have all held their annual national sessions here during the week. The Export Conven- tion substantially declared in favor of subsi- dies, to aid the increase of our tonnage on the ocean, that we may successfully compete for its commerce. The decay of American ocean commerce has been alarming. With our vast resources, we have permitted other nations to bear away the great bulk of the international commerce of the world, and there may be good and sufiicicnt reasons for fostering ocean commerce, that will open up to our people a trade that has heretofore been monopolized by the shipping of other coun- tries. We think the Government can well afford to throw its fostering arm around our merchant marine, and secure for the country benefits now lost to it. Gov. Lippett, of Rhodc Island, President of the Convention, and who is a large manufacturer, stated that a merchant in Brazil can send orders to LiV' crpool or London and have goods back in his store‘bcforca letter can reach New York. He had occasion to telegraph, last weck,'to a customer atj‘Rio Janeiro, and it cost him $40 in gold for four words, his dispatch crossing the ocean twice and going to South America via London. It was also stated by Governor Lippett that the cotton manufac. turers of New England had outgrown pro- tection and could not only take care of them- selves in our own markets, but 'could meet the English manufacturers in competition on their own ground, and could flaunt American cotton and print cloths in their faces in the markets of Great Britain. What is true of these manufacturers is also true 'of many others. We can export coarsecottons. wool- lens, hardware, many kinds of Machinery, agricultural implements, etc, and ccmpete with the world. Every year is-adding to our advantages by the development of our min- eral wealth, improved facilities for transpor- tation, the equalization of the price of labor by drawing from the old countries and by the improvement in machinery which Ameri- can energy and American genius has given us. Already English statesmen and econo. mists are becoming alarmed at the prospective exhaustion of their coal supply, while every " i adds to the available supply of our own 1' M m which is ' practically inexhaustible. Panel-s : endowed the United States with all the elements of a great, prosperous and powerful nation. We lack only statesman- ship to make the great resources of the coun- try availablc. The impression made upon Congress by the information‘furnished by these business men from all parts of the United States, has left a profound impression. The Foresters propose a systematic policy of planting the prairie and wild lands of the West with timber trees, and the statistics and plans they submit are said to be plainly prac. ticable as well as unusually interesting. ' ‘ The Agriculturists want the Agricultural Bureau made a cabinet department of the Government. The Congress of United Americans have held their annual National Council here, and to-night are received by President Hayes, the Secretaries of War and of the Treasury, Rev. G. Haulenbeck is the delegate from Connecticut, and a most zealous advocate of the Society's patriotic measures. He will leave on Monday for his home in Norwalk, having filled his mission with marked ability. FEMALE SUFFRAGE. Mrs Isabella Beecher Hooker of Hartford was accorded a hearing by Senator Wad- leigh's committee on Privileges and Elections yesterday. Perhaps Washington's Birthday could not have been more appropriately de- voted than listening to the eloquent. and cogent appeal of this earnest advocate for woman’s suffrage. Notwithstanding the announcement, through the press, that only Senators would be admitted to hear the argument of Mrs. Hooker before the Senate, large numbers of ladies assembled . in the halls and about the . door urgingadmissim. As it was under- stood that the wives of Senators were the most effective opponents of woman suffrage, cyery one of them was personally invited to be present, in avdainty .littlc note from the National Woman Snfiragc Association. At clcvcn o'clock, before the bearing began, the doors of the committee room were open to all, and the room was filled immediately. There were present also, Vice-President Wheeler, Senators Beck, Bruce, Jones; Rep- resentative Morgan, Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Stanley Matthews, Mrs. Brookcs, Mrs. Fayette C. Snead, Mrs. Hereford, Mrs. Fol- som, Mrs. Gilson, Mrs. Olcott, Mrs. Julia A. Holmes, Mrs. Julia M. Holmes, Mrs. Bartlett, 'Mr‘s. Sweet, Mrs. Myers, Miss Blodgett (of the Irish World), Mrs Teresa Juan Lewis (of the Woman’s ll’ords), Miss Foster, Miss Jennisoa, sad about fifty other ladies. Many went away, unable to obtain seats. : - - . Mrs. Hooker dealt in a forcible, eloquent manner with the objections to woman’s suf- frage. We have too many voters now.. It is God's own doctrine of personal liberty and personal responsibility. Liberty is the steam, responsibility puts on the brakes and election day is the safety valve. She said if women, Lucretia Mott and others, had dealt with the Indian“ question, we could long ago have called in our stand- ing army, cut down appropriations, and civilized the majority of the Indians of this land. She presented a woman’s view of the Utah question, the Chinese question, the labor question, the subject of compulsory education, kintcrgartens for the little chil- dren of the poor, a woman’s police, and many other tOpics, showing how men needed the loving wisdom of women in their efforts, at legislation. Thirty-four thousand women the large-hearted women of this country, join in asking for a sixteenth amendment from this Congress, as an expression of opin- ion:to educate State Legislatures to their duty. Millions more of women want it, but dare not brook the insults and abuse men have heaped upon the women who have led in this reform. , . THE LATE GIDEON WELLES. The Navy Department is heavily draped in mourning out of respect to the memory of the Ex-Sccrctary 6f the Navy, GIDEON Warns of Hartford. To him was due the credit of establishing the policy relating to “contrabands,” which was afterwards adopt- ed in every department of Mr. Lincoln's Administration. \Vhile the army, was return- ing escaped slaves, the Secretary of the Navy took the ground that all loyal men, black or white, who escaped from. the Confederacy and came into our lines, were entitled to our protection and might be employed in our ser- vice. HON. WM. D. KELLEY. Judge Kelley of Philadelphia is a thorough going protectionist and silver-coinage man. In a pamplet issued by him, and entitled “The Causes and authors of the Financial Depression, with hints at remedial measures" —he has given more light, and more reason- able argument on that side of the question than we have anywhere seen put before the public. The Judge is so clear and fascina- ting a reasoncr that we wara‘all persons at all shaky on the silver question to give hi8 pamphlet- a wide berth. LADIES' HATS. The misses and young ladies of the Capi tal, have recently “come 'out" in the round top fur hats so universally worn by the young gents at the North hitherto and of which hundreds of thousands have been manufac- tured at Norwalk, Bethel and Danbui'y. As the new fashion has broken out and is ,spreading like scarlet rash, it will no doubt prove a most acceptable circumstance to our Connecticut Hat Manufacturers. coax. COMMISSIONERS 'ro rams. The President has appointed William P, Blake and Henry C. White of Connecticut honorary commissioners to the Paris expo- sition, on the nomination of Governor Hub- bard. soan w. nox'r. Our old friend Noah \V. Hoyt’s name has been sent by President Hayes to the Com- mittee on Post Oflices and Post Roads of the Senate for confirmation as Post Master at New Canaan. He will be favorably reported to the Senate, by Senator Burnside, the coming week and of course confirmed. It was out pleasure to commend this faithful and popular officer to the P. M. Gen. for ap- pointment under Mr. Lincoln's Administra- tion and now his office having grown up to a Presidential appointment under his foster ing care, it has been no less a pleasure to commend his continuance under these more dignified and prosperous auspices. REV. MR. ANDERSON. Your last week's. notice that Rev. Joseph Anderson was to fill his old Norwalk pulpit on the morrow, recalls to memory the fact of his having been unanimously and urgently called to accept the Pastorate of Rev. Dr. Snndcrland's church here at a salary of $5,- 000 per year, at the time whenhc had arranged to have the First Congregational church in Norwalk. runsoxars. Hon. John T.

Sperry of New Haven and J. B. Bunce, Vice Presi- dent of the Hartford Phoenix Life Insurance Company, arrived here on Thursday morning last, as did also Gen.’ Wm. B. Franklin, President of the Colt's Fire Arms Company of Hartford. Gen. F. appeared before the Senate Patent Committee and made a brief, but convincing argument against the appli- cation of Wm. Wheeler Hubbcll for an act authorizing the Commissioner of Patents to issue to him a patent for a claimed, but totally unsustained, invention for revolving firearms. Hon. Daniel Chadwick, our U. S. Commissioner on the Pacific Railroads is here with his wife and domiciled at the Riggs House. Mr. H. B. Drew, Cashier of the Connecticut-National Bank 'of Bridge- port and wife, have been expected at the Arlington since Wednesday but as yct, have not put in an appearance. As Ever, B. The Pope is comfortably fixed in the mat- ter of a residence. The vatican contains, it is said, eleven hundred rooms. That ought tobe enough to accommodate an old man who has no wife to look after his domestic affairs. What a paradise the place would be for a New England matron in cleaning house time. Hann Tina‘s—The Arlen ball, held at Gilmore's Garden, New York, last, Thursday night, was a grand success, notwithstanding the storm. , Fully ten thousand people were present, and 3530.000 was realized. Tickets $5.00 admitting gent and one lady. The decorations were splendid and costumes var ied and rich. ' On Monday last, at St. Mary's church, a Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the late Pope Pius IX, was celebrated at 10 o'clock, a. in. Rev. Father O'Dwycr ofi'l- ciated as cclebrant, Rev. Father Rogers, of Stamford, as Deacon, and Rev. Father Byrne as sub-deacon. Father Rogers preach- ed the sermon. Miss How‘s presided at the organ, and we hear herplaying highly com- mended. Miss Wallace'; thetlcading soprano, was unable to sing Owing to a severe -'cold, and her rich voice was greatly missed. A Strange Proceeding. On Saturday afternoon, two men in a wagon stopped on Riverside Avenue. a short distance above thc'bridge, and threw some forty or fifty small packages into the river. The strange conduct of the men attractcd' 'attention, and that night some of the neigh- bors dragged the river at that place. The result was the fishing up of liquor bottles. Whether they contained liquor at the lime, or were empty, is not known. Sargent, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Spoiford, Mrs: ~ Washington’s Birthday. The anniversary of the birthday of the great and good father of his country was ushered in bya driving rain storm which con- tinued through the day and evening, putting an effectual damper upon all attempts to cel- ebrate the day in any public manner. The banks and dry goods stores were closed, and the schools. In the evening a fair audience attended the play of Henry .V, at Music Hall, a few stragglers patronized a .minstrel show at the Opera House, and at the Athenamm a children’s party was greatly enjoyed. ' '-—_-—-_d Tramp House. In accordance with the vote passed at the recent Town meeting, Selectman Sellcck has arranged for providing soup hereafter at the the Town lock up on East Shore Road, for the tramps who are now begging from house to house. The meals will not be entirely gratuitous as a; certain amount of work will be exacted from each recipient. There will not be any excuse hereafter for this constant home appeal, and any and all applicants should now be sent to the right about, i. e., to the soup house, where, if they are really needy and deserving, they will be supplied with something wholesome. Rev. Joseph Anderson, of Waterbury, oc- cupied the pulpit of the First Congregational church on Sunday last, preaching morning and evening, to large audiences. It seemed like old times to see his familiar face in that pulpit and to hear his musical voice. Rev. Mr. Johnson is expected to preach next Sun- day. - The Revival Meetings. The mcetings at the 2d Methodist church are increasing in interest. Some eighteen or twenty conversions have thus far been made. The meetings will be continued this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. Rev. Joseph Anderson will preach on Wednesday evening. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Williams, will make a short opening ad- dress each evening. Sudden Death. Our community was startled, yesterday, (Monday) afternoon at about 3 o‘clock, by the announcement of the sudden death, in the Probate Office, of Charles-M. Gregory, a well-known citizen, resident of the extreme upper portion of the town. At first, it did not seem creditable, so many had seen and spoken to him within a few minutes. but so it was. He drove to town in company with his wife, and leaving her seated in the car- riage on Wall street, he went into the Pro- bate Ofiice to take out Administration papers upon the estate of his wife's father and mother, the late Mr. and Mrs. Abijah Betts of Wilton, both of whom recently deceased, somewhat suddenly. He had been in the office but a few minutes when he slid out of his chair to the floor and died almost instantly. His cousin, Dr. James G. Gregory was present with him and Dr. W. A. Lock- wood was called in instantly to consult but it was too late, nothing could be done. It is supposed to be some disease of the heart as he had been complaining of a pressure in that region for several weeks past. The sudden event has cast a gloom over the community as Mr. Gregory was well known and respected by all. He was a son of Mr. Lewis Gregory, and occupied the old homestead of his father on the Danbnry Turnpike, just this side of the Wilton bound- ary line, and like his father before him he run the old saw and grist mill on the oppo- site side of the road from the homestead. He was about 53 years of age and leaves a wife and quite a large family of children to mourn his sudden and sad taking off ; they will have the heartfelt sympathies of all in this, their hour of deep affliction. Peace to his ashes. Both wings of the London press,thc Times and the Telegraph, agree that the situation is very grave for England, and the Times is so alarmed that it calls upon the country,at this late day, to stand by the government. No- body yet knows whether the Czar will occu- py Constantinople, or will conclude peace; the policy of Russia is veiled, as usual, in im- penetrable subterfuge. The Annual Supper of the Congregational Society, of South Norwalk, held at Military Hall on Wednesday last, was a decided suc- cess, and, notwithstanding the stormy weatho er, there was about the largest attendance present ever convened at a supper in that place. Of course the pecuniary result was satisfactory. * In the case of Selectman Smith as. C. V. Arnold, before Judge Craw, Last Friday, Mr. Arnold was held for trial and bound over in the sum of $200, which amount was subse- quently reduced we are informed, to $100. Ex-conncilman D. R. Sellcck has brought suit against Mr. Smith for slander. On Sunday last a man appeared at the resi- dence of Mr Charles R. Bennett, city, and wantcd to sue a woman stay ing there, from whom, it is reported, he had been divorced. An altercation ensued during which he knocked the woman down. Ofilccrs Pclbam and Dayton gave chase, and finally succeeded in capturing him on Flax Hill. #— An Interesting Lecture. Next Monday evening a lecture. will be given in the First Congregational church by Rev. 0. S. St.John, on the subject “Pales- tine Explorcd." It cannot fail to be of much interest, especially to all who take take pleasure in~Bible study. Previous to the lecture Mr. Gibson will entertain the audience half an hour with organ music. # The ladies of St. Paul’s church had bad weather, last Wednesday, for their Supper, but nevertheless the attendance was quite good and the ladies must have cleared con- siderable money. The Supper was held in the Opera House, which was rendered very convenient by temporary ante-rooms under the gallery—a new feature which will become popular. In the center of the Hall the sup- ply tables were laid, and supper was served , at about one dozen small tables arranged - around the sides of the Hall and presided over by the ladies. The tables presented a fine appearance, and the bill of fare was va- ried and tempting. A very serious accident occurred last week to Mrs. Noah W. Barnum, at the residence 'of Mr. Geo. H. Barnum. While fixing the fire in a stove, 'her dress caught fire, and she wasbadly burned. Ery'sipelss set in, and shelics in a critical condition. Intelligence was received yesterday of the 'death of Mr. Alanson E. St. John, which sad event occurred in China on the 12th of Jan- uary, of,con'sumption. He was a son of J essup St. John, Esq., of this place, and has been in that country a number of years as Engineer on a steamer. , The Charity Ball, given at the Opera House, last Thursday evening, under the we. piece of the St.Vincent De Paul Society, was fairly attended. It is said that many tickets were sold to parties who did not attend. We have been unable to learn the amount of re- ceipts. I -——-—- >7 .. ‘.I —. '—-—-—I ’ THE NEW POPE.. Cardinal Gioacchino Pccci was elected Pope last Wednesday and will be known as Leo XIII. He’lacked at-the first ballot held in the morning only five votes of the requisite two-thirds. Tlicrenpon Cardinal Franchi, and those holding the same views, advanced and knelt before him. Other Cardinals fol- lowed this example, and Cardinal Pecci was thus elected by the method known as “ by adoration.” On,.liis appearance before the people after his election he was cheered en- thusiastically. He is an Italian, and is in his sixtyoeighth year. Election for Judge of" Probate. By order of Governor Hubbard, an elec- tion for J udgc of Probate for the District of Norwalk, will take place on Monday, March 11th. in the Towns of Norwalk, New Canaan and Wilton. In Norwalk the polls will be open from 6 o'clock, a. m., until 5 o'clock, p. m., as provided by law. A Republican Convention for the nomina- tion of a candidate for the position, will be held at Norwalk, next Monday, March 4th.. A Caucus of the Republicans of Norwalk, to appoint delegates to the Convention, will be held on Friday evening next, at the GA- za'r'ru ofilce. See the official'noticcs. The candidates for the vacant position of Judge of Probate are quite numerous. We hear the names of the following gentlemen mentioned by their friends: Asa B. Wood- ward, the present Clerk of the Court, J. Bel- den Hurlbntt, Gen. Taylor, W. T. Craw, F. W. Perry, H. H. Barbour, E. W. Stuart, W. E. Raymond and W. L. Waring of New Canaan, and Charles Cannon of Wilton. Probably some of the above named never en- tertained an idea of competing for the po- sition. fl The Congregational Supper. On Wednesday evening the ladies of the First Congregational church will give their annual Supper, at Lockwood’s Hall. As the congregation is a large one and the ladies united in a determination to make the enter- tainment fully equal at least, to any which have preceded it, we look for something specially nice. Of course the eatablcs will be all that can be desired, the display such as is seldom seen at public suppers, and the attendance undoubtedly large. Do not take tea at home, for the ladies will specially welcome those who come with ravenous appe- tites. “ At the Fire Department election, last Thursday night, at Phoenix Engine House, for the choice of let Assistant Engineer, the contest was between Messrs Edgar S. Wil- coxson of Pioneer, and Geo. H. Raymond, who was run without his consent by Hope Hose. Mr. Wilcoxson was elected, the vote standing 34 to 31. The best of feeling pre veiled. After the result was announced the members 'of the Department present were invited into Pioneer room, where the evening was pleasantly spent. This company is ad- mitting many new members, and is fast re- trieving its former prosperous position. The company's rooms are handsomely furnished, and a piano has recently been added. During the evening the guests were invited down stairs where the newly elected officers of the company had provided a bountiful “spread" which was greatly enjoyed, if we can judge by appearances. The Beihrer Family Troupe. This famous company of musical artists, who about a year ago created a decided sen- sation in Hartford, New Haven and the prin- cipal cities and towns in this State, are to visit Norwalk for the first time, on Thursday evening of the present week, and give our music—loving citizens an opportunity of lis- tening to their delightful entertainment. This company comes to us with an enviable reputation accquired by many years of travel in almost 'every section of the United States from Maine to California, but particularly in the South and West, where they appear to be especial favorites, the press in those sections being loud in their praise. The different members of this troupe are said to be culture ed artists, and their entertainments are spo- ken of as being in the highest degree elegant and artistic and devoid of everything that is low and demoralizing. We think we can promise our readers not only an entertain ment at once high-toned and refined, but one which will prove to be, as it were, a new sen- sation, and difiering in a great degree from any'which have heretofore visited us. Be- served seats are on sale at Weed's, and at Hoyt's in South Norwalk. The horse cars will be run at the conclusion of the perform- ance, for the accommodation of the public- O Titliing Men. At the 2d M. E. church tithing men are regularly appointed to preserve order. Some young persons seem to think that these offi- cers have no authority which they are bound to respect. They have authority and will use it, hearafter, if necessary. For the benefit of those whom it may concern we print, by request of the olflcers of the church, the following documents:— Nonwamr, Cr., Feb. 23d, 1878.

Letters from the People. New YORK, Feb. 20th. To Mmrnscs Tuwack-awar :— I had been spending a delightful afternoon at the Water Color exhibition and was revcling before a grate fire, in blissful content, my mind lingering among the pic- tures still, when the Gaznrrn was handed letter marred the brightness of my medita- tions ? It is strange that a few words from another should so change the aspect of one’s surroundings. You need not be surprised to learn that before I finished your cpistleI sent out and ordered sackcloth, for it would take a-person with steadier nerves than mine not to feel crushed after being bombarded with Froude, Macaulay, Bancroft, and Pres- cott in such a style. I will lift my dejected head, however, and say meekly that when you make such a perversion of an illustrious name I may, at least, be excused the parono- masia. The only grudge I hear you, in fact, is your name. I furthermore, gather together such fragments of my scattered courage as enable me to say, humbly, that I never for a moment supposed “those girls” to be your companions and associates. If it seemed so to them, I beg their pardon. It seemed to me that you must be an isolated person infi'our village of the distressing name. (Do forgive me, but I cannot yet speak it glibly. I am only a girl you know.) I only thought that from your lofty pedestal of mighty tomes, in an occasional glance earth- ward, you had observed what you might have considered their benighted condition and that you actually descended to their level in order to instruct and improve them. Your expressions of gratitude ought to act as balm to my wounded spirit, though you do speak of spite as a quality “essentially feminine and indissoluably united with woman's nature." Werca man capable of spite I should regard that expression with doubtful eyes. Seems to me, too, that I re- member, dimly, times when I have heard gentlemen refer with something like malice to the uncertain ages of old-young-ladies. I will show you, Thwack-away, that in spite of my. laceratcd feelings, I can still be gracious, so I congratulate you upon being i; “susceptible" man. They are so interesting ‘andIso date upon them. I have not the talent for enumerating books that you have, but I do say that there are many bright, readable books, which I do not think have been considered "the sloppiest of intellectual pap" (thanks for the expression, I have made a note of it,) with which you might have made your reading circle entertaining when you discovered that your hearers did not enjoy the history. You need not be reduced to Miss Braddon. It would not hurt the young ladies, or you either ,for that matter, to commence your reading with selections from the “Little Classics," or such a book as “Marjorie Dew and other Tales." Seems to me it would benefit anyone to indulge in some of the exquisite Norse tales that have been published in Scribner and the Atlantic from time to time. There are instructive books like “Bits of Travel,” by H. H. 4 but I will add no more to my list. I beg pardon if I was reminded, by your descrip- tion, of Miss Muhlbacli. Perhaps it was your use of the expression “thrilling love scenes.” “Thrilling" does remind one of the sensational at times. Seems to me if I had a real desire to elevate the literary taste of a village I would not give up at the first few trials. There always is a right way to do things. Because the members of your circle did not become enamored of the books you admired you immediately washed your hands of them and set them down as frivolous, &c., are. More—you predicted an even worse .state of ignorance for them when they arrived at forty years of age. You con- signed us all to a dreadful intellectual “back- sliding." It isa discouraging thought, but one must become resigned‘to it. I might tell you of women I know (in private life) who have proved many exceptions to this, but if you are bent upon having us all foolish I suppose we will be. I was going to add that when you have grown a little older —(I smile, for you may be a hundred this moment for augbt I know, very likely, too, for men of this age. who are not buried in the past, predict a better future for women.) —and have learned to look at the world in a less one-sided fashion you will think differ- ently, but I refrain, for if it gives you any pleasure to get up on stilts and think all women simplctons, I don’t object at all. Stay up there and enjoy yourself, do,—only don't head down to shic books at us. We are too humble, jogging along down here, enjoying our small comforts to affect you, oh, majestic! Keep your head up in the clouds, out of our way, and we’ll do very well. Meanwhile, I am, yours humbly and foolishly. Crs'rnr. Sidewalks. The season of the year when good side- walks are most to be prized is at hand. It is greatly to be regretted that our city authori- ties should rcmain rccreant to the wants of the sidewalk connecting the Borough and business portion of the city. So greatly needed improvement could hardly fail of re- sulting in the city's favor in the way of trade, especially so far as many whose residence are centrally located, but who are unable to visit the city without encountering this for- midable obstacle. * fl ' Dying- Among Strangers. One does not appreciate the benediction, “May you die among your kindred!" until some loved son or daughter, husband or wife, —far removed from home and kindred, and all their endearments and comforts, their as- siduous attentions, and patient, tender minis- terings—dies among entire strangers. When the heavy tidings of sickness and danger reach home by the sudden and sad telegram, and the heart’s passionate impulse to y to the rescue is imperatively curbed and denied, -—then what throbs of anxiety, what yearn- ings of desire, what imaginings of suffering and longings to relieve it! Is there a kin physician at hand; has he skill; is he a Christian P When he is called away, who will respond to calls for attention and cries of pain ‘2 Will a loving woman’s gentle voice be heard in the room of the stranger, and will her soft hand he laid on his brow and smooth his pillow, and bring the craved re- freshment and delicacies and fruits, even as the mother or sister? - Such has recently been the experience of a family in Connecticut, the center of a group of kindred, and of acircle of friends. Last autumn, a vigorous young man, of lofty stat- ure and winning mien, the eldest of many children; the grandson, on the father's side, of a U. S. Senator, and, in the mother's line, of a Governor—both honored and lamented, —left his pleasant home for Texas. Letters came back from him giving no admonition of sickness; when in their‘stesd arrived one from an unknown physician at Frio City, in- forming the parents that their son had been brought in from a ranch twenty miles distant, in the delirium of typhoid fever, placed under his care, and by him taken to a hotel. The letter gave evidence of intelligence and gfntlemanlincss and assurance of attention ext came a letter from the son himself, in— dicating great weakness; and then the brief, startling despatch from the physician, an- nouncing that on the morning of Christmas his patient had “bravely and courageously" passed away. , What a strcke and shock I What a crush- ing of hope, and torture of faith—which, thank God, bore the test even of the awful mystery! Later intelligence brought the par. ' tial relief of knowing that the promised at- tentions were bestowed, and that blessed wm men—thrice blessed of the mother—comfort- ed the stranger by their sweet sympathy and flare;l and kindly prepared his body for the un .

City residents who have recently visited southern states, brought on their return, very fine specimens of plants, flowers, leaves, grasses. and oranges, lemons, and their fruit in their perfection. W. II. Hayward's exhibition of the Telo. phone at the supper of the ladies of the Con- firegational church, was a great attraction and success for which the committee are under many obligations. The conflict of opinion about Hell still exists, and many argumentative battles are had over it. All manner of views are ex- pressed none of them altering the words or meaning of the passages in the Bible refer- ring tolit. Rev. Mr. Dunning gave his views on Sunday evening, in a sermon from the text “That he might go to his own place” in which he referred to the many symbols of Heaven and Hell. The meaning of their figures were that the soul going into Eternity goes to his own place, a place which fits his moral condition. Rev.
