sued by the state, or any town or city of the
state, the tax to begin with the month of
January, 1878. The bill as it came from the
senate was passed.
The Old State House in Hartford:
The old Statehouse in Hartford, which is
soon to be vacated by the legislature for the
new. one at Bushnell park, was the second one
built ’in the city, its predecessor being a'
wooden' building. It wasdecidcd upon in
1702, but not erected'till four or five years
later. «The state agreed to pay £1,500 if the
remainder of the meney necessary for its
construction was-subscribed by May 1, 1793.
This attempt: failed, asdid a lottery of £5,000,
authorized by the legislature to help on the
work. Then General Andrew Ward 'of Guil-
ford and Colonel Jeremiah Halsey of Nor-
wich promised to go on wilh the building if
they were given the "gore lands,” a tract on
Lake Erie claimed by Connecticut. The
house was completed in .1797, having, cost
$52,480, of which Hartford gave $2,500, the
county $1,500, the state $12,483 and Colonel
Halsey $35,000, as his “gore tract” provcdza
failure. About 1828, however, the legislature
voted the latter $20,000. Five presidents——
Jackson, Monroe, Polk, Johnson and Grant—
have visited the building. The famous “Hart-
ford convention” was held in its senate cham-
ber, the constitutional convention of 1818
took place init, and Lafayette was publicly
received there in 1824. Other minor events
are associated with it, and in 1833 one of the
Wethcrsfield murderers, Scott and Caesar,
who had killed a prison-keeper and was sen-
tenced to be hung in Hartford and to be cut
up, each New Haven and the other in the
former place, was dissected in the upper
part of the state house.
Senator Edmunds likes his little joke as
well‘as any one. A Washington correspond-
ent reports him as saying that there are so
many Presidential candidates on the Commit-
130 on Judiciary, that business is very much
behind. He says that on the day when the
committee meets, Conkling will come in first
and find a slim attendance. He will sit a lit-
tle while, impatiently, " and say .: “Well, I
don’t suppose there will be a quorum this
morning, and I have other matters to attend
to. - lf Davis and Thurman would drop their
Presidential aspirations and attend to cam-
mittce business, we could do something.”
And he will go out Then Thurman will
come in and ask: “Where‘s Conkling ?”
When told that he has been in and left to look
after other matters, he will say = “Where’s
Davis ?” “Davis hain’t come." “Well,"
Thurman will say, “Conkling and Davis have
got the Presidency on the brain,and of course
we can't expect anything of them. Call me
when you get a quorum." And he will go
out. Then Davis will come in and say:
“Well, Conkling and Thurman are absent
again. 'Those two men are so busy working
up their Presidential campaigns that they
neglect their Senatorial duties.” And so it
goes, every week, Edmunds says.
'a manner-as to promote resumption, and that
debate the resolution as amended was passed -
The Price of Gold.
The fall of gold to 100% bid on Monday, a
lower price than has been recorded at any
time since the first suspension 'of specie pay-
ments in 1862, will not seem surprising to
those who have watched recent events. Of
these, the most important in effect upon the.
price of gold has been the remarkable excess
of exports since August. Returns for Feb-
ruary are not yet complete, but, estimnting
these from the known increase at New York, '
we conclude that the total excess of exports
since September 131; must have been more“
than $150,000,000. Though the shipments
of bonds from Europe have been large, they
have not been large enough to ovci‘balancé
this enormous excess of payments due from
abroad, and there is no room to doubt that?
the premium on gold would have disappeared“7
altogether, from natural causes and not be-
cause of any especial influence exerted by
operations of the Treasury, if the public
credit hiid not been assailed by the Silver
men. It is worthy of note that the low
price of brcadstuffs and provisions,whicli has
brought to grief important firms, since the
treaty of peace'betwccn Russia and Turkey
was signed, has stimulated exports, so that
the excess is still remarkably large for the
season, and may perhaps continue some
weeks later than is usual. Ordinarily im-
ports begin to exceed exports before the hit
of April. ”
The second potent influence has been the
Silver Bill itself, as it has been understood
here and in Europe, since its passage. As
soon as it had passed'thc Senate, we said that
it seemed to be a great triumph for the de-
fenders of the public credit, both because the
bill was much less objectionable than the one
which had passed the House, and because it
gave very great power to the Secretary of the
Treasury to accelerate his preparationtfor rr- -
sumption. The same view was ‘1 taken iii
Europe, as early telegrams showed; If Mr.
Sherman chooses, he can make gold very
abundant and greenbacks very scarce, while
the nae for gold will be materially diminished
by the employment of silver forthe payment
of duties. It is the general impression, both
here and in Europe, that he will not In 1 to
use the great power given by the bill in such
'no'otber measure can be passed which will
Eeriously interfere with his efforts.
Another remarkable event 'is the rapid in-
crease of specie reserve in the New York
banks. Specie held now exceeds currency
held by nearly $7,000,000, and increasedlast
week by nearly $3,800,000, while the legal-
tender average decreased nearly $2,500,000.
Perhaps the banks are changing the charac-
te'r~of their resources’and of their business.
more largely than is generally suspected.
Payments from the Treasury have been con.
siderablc, but not as large as they were last
year at this season. Receipts of gold over-
land have been considerable, but it is not
usually supposed that they have been as
large as they were last year. There is some
reason to believe that specie which has for
years been hidden and boarded has now be-
gun to flow out, and to find its way to the
banks. Undoubtedly, the covering of "short"
sales of gold has had a considerable effect on
the price, but the decline has now been 50
continued and steady that other influences
must be considered more potent—Tribune.
While Scotch Presbyterianism is making
considerable progress in London the Roman
Catholic religion is making considerable pro-
grcss in Scotland.

Ye Ballad of Y0. Oysterman.
. ———- .
(ax rs unanimous.)
In Stamford dwells a jolly tar -~
As evcr sailed the res,
And, though he is an oysterman,
No austere man is be.
And eke a generous soul he is—
An'open heart I wot,
For, though he is a shell fish man,
A selfish iman he's not.
- Not over versed in bookish lcre,
Nor, college wit to fine,
But, if he cannot write, h word,
IIe sometimes "drops a line."
And he is eke an honest min .
As ever you could wish;
His neighbor’s good’s he’d never steal
Yet sometimes “hooks a fish.
He sails about the tumbling deep. 3
While winds are blowing free;
And, sometimes he doth see a ship,
And sometimes “ship’s a sea.”-
At sza, while work awaits his hands,
A silencehe prolongs;
But though his crew must stop their
tongues,
They’re busy with their tongs.
When oil a lee shore in a gale,
Full sail hc‘qnick doth make,
Yet, though he doth not like a wreck,
He always has a rake.
Full many a dang’rous day he sees,
When loudly pipes the wind,
And often finds himself in peril,
But ne’er a pearl doth find
Those who neglect .
H. Meeker, of the sum total in said ,
He’s scant regard for modern skill,
. And hates your steam like sin;
lie acorns a ship that goes by valves,
Yet scoops the bivalves in.
Sometimes a stranger craft he steers,
The wild wide sea upon—
Thc port-bound vessels pilots in.
, And then he’ll “pile it on.”
When pressed by danger on his lee
He puts his boat about ;
Sometimes, for safety hankerin’.
He licavcs the anchor out.
And still through all his ups and down,
. He holds a purpose fair,
For, though he’s always sailing around,
He's ever “on the square.”
Long live ye gallant oystcrman—‘
‘ Long may his course be run ;
And may his hardihood so rare,
Be termed'at last “well done."
—Slamford Advocate.
To a Dressmaker.
0h, wherefore bid me leave thy side,
Dear Polly ? 1 would ask ;
How can I all my feelings cloak,
When in thy smiles I basque?
Nay, “Polly-nay,” I cannot go !
0h, do not stand aloof,
When of my warm affection
You possess, oh, water-proof.
Why will you thus my feelings gore
By sending me away?
You know it’s wrong, of corset is,
Thus to forbid my stay.
It seamsas though some fell disease
Was gnawing at my heart,
And hem orrhage would soon ensue
If we, perchance, should part.
Then waist the precious time no more,
But let the parson tie us,
Sew firmly that the marriage knot
Shall never be cut bias.
In peaceful quietude we'll float
0n life’s unrufiled tide,
Nor let the bustle of the world
“Pull-back,” as on we glide.
“Down the Road."
A lusty tramp, one summer’s day—
The sun was glaring fiercely down—
Trndged on along the dusty way
That led toward the nearest- town.
No friendly tree its welcome shade
Athwart his weary pathway cast;
No babbling brooklet leaped and played
Along the roadside as he passed.
“Is there no shndy spot,” he cried,
“At hand ?” to one who by him strode.
“ Oh! yes,” the other one replied—
“ A little furthcr down the road."
Ah, well! we all are tramps, at best;
We stagger ’ncath life's daily load.
Yet on we press—and hope for rest,
“A' littlerfurther down the road.”
—Baldwin’s Monthly.
T111: Mammoxrar. Locust—A young
stranger called on Dr. M’C— one~ evening,
while he was a. pastor in New York city, W
engage his services in the performance of a
nuptial ceremony,
“I wish to make a bargain with you, doc-
tor,” said the young man. “I think the girl
I am‘to marry will make a first-rate wife. If
you will wait a year for your fee, and she
'turns out as I think she will, I’ll give you
fifty dollars.” -
They agreed, the young couple were mar-
ried,and the incident passed from the doctor's
mind. At the end of a year, at the same
time in the evening, the young 'man called
again. The doctor did not recognize him at
first. _
“Do you not remember the, bargain we
made when you married men year. ago l"
“Oh, yes," replied the doctor.
“Well,” said the young man, “she in twice
'as good as I thought she was. There’s one
hundred dollars for you."
Exactly the opposite is the following:
A clergyman in one of the Hudson River
towns united a German couple inlmarirlage.
When the knot was tied, the bridegroom
said, “Dominic, I‘ve got no monisb, but I’ll
send you you leetle pig." It was done, and
the circumstance was forgotten by the cler-
gyman. Two years afterward he .met the
German in another town, for the first time
since the marriage ceremony was perforated.
“Dominic," said the German, “you remem- \
bers you manied me, and I gave you you
leetle pig ?”
“Yes-n
“Veil, if you’ll unmarry me, I vill give
you two leetle pigs.”-—EDrron’s Drums, in
Harper‘s Magazine for April.
Purity of Character.
There grows a bloom and beauty, over the
beauty of the plum and apricot, more ex-
quisite than the fruit itself—a soft, delicate
flush that overspreads its blushing cheek.
Now, if you strike your hand over that, it is
gone forever; for It never grows but once.
The flower that hangs in the morning im-
pearled with dew, arrayed as a queenly wo-
man uever was arrayed with jewels; once
shake itsothat the beads roll off, and you
may sprinkle water over it as youplease, yet
it can never be made again what it was
when the dew fell silently on it from heaven.
On a frosty morning you may see panes of
glass covered with landscapes—mountains,
lakes and trees. blended in a beautiful, fan.
tastic picture. Now lay your hand ‘upon
the glass, and by a scratch of your finger, or
by the warmth-of your palm, all the'de'licate
raccry.will be obliterated. So there is in
youth a beauty and purity of character
which}, when once touched or defiled, can
never be restored—a fringe more delicate
than frost-work, and. which, when torn and
broken, willlnever ‘be re;embroidered. He
who has spolted and "soiled his garments in
youth, though he 11'1ij seek to make them
white again, 'can‘never wholly do it, even
were he to wash them with his tears. When
a young man leaves his father's house with
the blessing of a mcther’s tears still wet
upon his brow, if he once lose that early pu-
.rity of character, it is a spot that. been
never make whole again. Such istheeonse-
quence of crime. Its eflects cannot be erad-
1 icated; it can only be forgiven—Edvard.
