The great event of lastweek was the Good
Tclnplars Convention in the Hall of Never-_
" sink Lodge on Tuesday. All arrangements
for the reception of delegates and guests
were very satisfactoraly made by the mem-
bers of the Lodge. The day was most spring-
like and lovely. Hence at an early hour the
visitors began to arrive and by 10 o'clock
the hall was well filled. In the absence of
District C. F. .Bro. Johnson, who had to do
jury duty in Bridgeport, G. W. 'C. T. O. J. ‘
Range of Essex toox the chair at precisely
10.45 a. m. greeting the convention in a few.
well chosen words of congratulation upon-
mecting at such an auspicious occasion. The
different committees were appointed and
list of delegates and their credentials being
attended to, reports were heard from differ-
ent lodges, which showed them all to be in
excellent order. Afternoon recess was spent
.partly in perambulating the beautiful grounds
of the Military Institute, on which the hall is
located—partly by furnishing a substantial
dinner to the guests. This took place in the
elegant :dining room of Mr. Jarvis’ Institute
and Bro. Jarvis deserves the greatest cred it
for his generous hospitality and for the ex-
tensive preparations made by which to show
himself a courteous host of so many guests.
-One of the attractive features of the afternoon
session was the presentation of the Juvenile
Temple by their faithful and efficient Super-
intendent, Mrs. Ogden. The evening meet-
ing in the church was a public one and never
have we, in a residence of five years, seen
such an immense gathering. Bro. Range
delivered :--~.e of his stirring addresses; Bro.
Coggswe'l': .‘ailowed in a few remarks; Bro.
Ruby of ‘i‘i'ashington Lodge offered prayer.
The singi..,,r was executed with truly artistic
skill by a select choir from Georgetown,—

The Murphy Temperance meetings com-
menced last Tuesday evening. The first
meetings were cond noted by Messrs. Eoote
and Robinson. At the first meeting over one -
hundred signed the pledge. The work
promises well. .
Two hundred live quail from the Indiana
Territory are daily expected.
Phil Leyer was found not guilty on four'
counts, and the jury failed to agree on.the
balance. The defence claimed that the
liquor belonged to- a “club," and that the

It appears from the records of the court at
Bridgeport, that the following amounts for
fines and costs have recently been paid in by
Stamford parties: '

C. W. Smith......... 281 07
D. B Morehouse ....... .. 171 98

We undernstand-that the cases above have .
not cost the town of Stamford anything, ~
except that the town paid a small charge. in
connection with two other cases against _
Morehouse, which were nollcd before they
wentto the Superior Court. '

A sad funeral was held Saturday at the

years, who, on the previous Monday while
playing in the kitchen, stumbled against and
fell into a tub of boiling hot lye made from
potash, from the effects of which he ,died
Thursday. The situation was discovered
almost instantly and all was done that human
ingenuity could devise to save the child’s
' life but without avail.
Sunday gave us in advance of the regular

It is said 300 persons in Westport have
signed the pledge since'the temperance'move-
ment began. Among this number are some
fifteen or twenty confirmed tapers—regular
gin mill soakers the loss of whose patronage
will be felt,—sixty, to seventy moderate
drinkers; 'one hundred and fifty tipplers, the
balance being made up Of boys and men who
never drink liquor,- and who signed their
names and donned the ribbon for curiosities
sake. On the presumption that the three
hundred signers will adhere to their absti-
nence pledges, it may be interesting to take a
mathematical view of results. A Confirmed
toper requires .bout fifteen drinks daily to
preserve his “equilibrium.” At ten cents per
drink we have $1,130 per day, which mulli-
plicd'into 365 gives us $547,50 which he will
save and which the liquor dealer will lose.
This amount multiplied by fifteen topers gives
the magnificent sum of $8,212,130; Stepping
for a mement outside the bonds of the propo-
sition under consideration, it is found by ac—
tual count thattherc are in ’Wcstport, 398
confirmed topers. If these could be induced
to stop thinking for one year, tlic’hgg'reg'atc
of their savings would be $217,835.: A med.
crate drinker will swallow seven drains daily
and feel good over'it. Sixty of ‘tliesb‘liatring
signed there will bean aggregate daily saving
of $42.00, and for the year, $51,330. Step.
ping outside again weifiud in-Westport 1,386
moderate drinkers. Could these also be-in-
duced to sign and stick to it, the daily Say.
ing would be $970, and for the year $355,-
050. The one hundred and fifty tipplers al-
luded to, heretofore, drank three times a day
on an average. The result of their taking
the pledge will be a saving of 30 cents .daily
each, a daily aggregate for the whole of $55,
and for the year $20,075. , Outside again for
a moment we find upwards Of— 1000 tipplers
in town—casual drinkers who have no bar
time tables, but who imbibe as opportunity
offers. Could these be rescued by signing
the pledge a daily‘saying of $300, would be
the result, and for the‘year $108,500. The
aggregate saving for one year consequent,
upon the total abstinence of the three classes
of drinkers named would be $792,380,-—a
sum almost incredible, but figures won’t lie.
Two thoughts suggest themselves in the
contemplation of this subject—First, how is
it possiblefor men drunk a‘ portion Of their
time to earn so much money? And second, so
vast an amount flowing yearly into the tilis of
local liquor dealers, how is it they are net all
wealthy? Brother Rogers and the reformed
drunkards laboring with him should feel en-
couraged while laboring in a field where their
services are needed, and where such grand re-_
suits are likely to be brought about.

and was on the homeward voyage from the
Bermudas. She had over 300 souls on board,
of which only one man and a boy have been

The Boston Globe vouches for the report
that the White Star Line owners contemplate
building a ship for their line on the model of
the Britannic, at one of the shipbuilding
yards on the Delaware. The plans and spec-
ifications have been prepared. It is said that
. the directors believe they can get a ship of
American iron and workmanship for less
than the cost of their vessels built at Belfast or
Greenock. The shipyard is not yet chosen.
Whatever the basis for this report, it is eer-
tain that Roach, the Cramps, Harlan, Hol-
- lingsworth and others, have for some time
believed
they could do what is proposed.

DEAR SIRS :—-I listened to the remarks
made yesterday at the temperance meeting in
the ball (well filled,) and thought that the
gentleman who spbke (Mr. J. L. Harlem)
was certainly most earnest and affecting.
The spirit in which he spoke will certain-
ly reconcile the many rum sellers and
rum drinkers, and I am glad to hear such re~
marks which will promote great benefits to
your term and its unfortunate drinkers of
the vile stuff. I know Mr. H. since I learned
that he is the one who _rcsided in Brooklyn.
May God attend his efforts with successand
blessings. Good—by. Yours in the cause,

~ Dropped from 'a. Balloon. 0
In throwing out ballast or any small article
from a balloon, a certain degree of caution is
requisite, as a bottle or any simiiiar object
falls with such velocity that were it to strike
the roof of a cottage it would go right through
it. We are told that Gay-Lusaac, in an as-
cent in 1804, threw out a common deal chair
from a height of 23,000 feet. It fell beside
a country girl who was tcndingfsome sheep in
a field, and, as the balloon was invisible, she
concluded, and so did wiser heads than hers,
that the chair had failed straight from heaven,

N 0 one was skeptical enough to deny it, for
there was the chair. or rather its remains.

: are but two forms of iron used in ship-build-
ing, the angle-bar and flat-plate. These piatcs
come from the rolling-mill, and are of1
every imaginable shape and size. The usual '
size Of a plate or sheet isa little more than
one yard wide, and from two to four yards
long, and three fourths of an inch thick. Out
of these two shapes nearly every form of
modern iron structure may be made, be it
ship, bridge, dock, or water tank. From the
Wooden patterns of the ' ship have been made
the frames, and from the model are copied
the shape and dimensions of each sheet of
iron that is to cover, or with the skin, the
outside of the ship’s hull,
It seems impossible that more iron plates
and angle-bars can be securely fastened to-
gether without nails or scrc vs. Wood may
be dovetailed and fitted together, and may be
bound with nails. Iron is simply lapped
piece over piece at, the edge and sewed to-
gether; It is treated as a fabric, except that
the threhd that binds the cloth is continuous,
and in the iron sheet each needle—hole has one
piece of thread knotted on each side. Sup-
pose two plates or a plate and a bar are join-
ed, holes of a uniform size are punched along
the edge of each piece, and the two pieces
are laid together so that the holes correspond.
A small bolt, called a rivet, having ahead
formed on one end, is heated red-hot and is
then passed through the two holes in the
plates or bars. The head stops it on one side,
and the hot and soft points projects at the
other side. A hammer is held against ‘the
head of the rivet to keep it in place, and with
hammers the soft point is beaten down till
it makes a new head by spreading over the
hole. The rivet at once cools and contracts,
and binds the MO pieces of iron so firmly
together that only the most powerful strain
can pull them apart. In this simple manner
is every plate, bar, and beam joined together
through-out the ship—Gimmes BAnNAnD,’

Congressman Landers,t'hc Democratic Rep-
resentative of the Hartford district, has fre-
quently and at different .times shone out con-
spicuously as a statesman, as all men will
recollect, and now he .has come to the front
as a leader in the gr'eat cause of Democratic
Reform. -It was in connection with the af-
fairs of Mr. Door-keeper Polk, of unsavory
notoriety at present. Mr. Polk has had the
control of sundry Ofiiccs -—Iionse messenger-
ships, firemanships, and laborcr’s positions.
Fourteen disabled Union soldiers are cin-
pioyed as messengers, at $1,200 each per an-
num; While the salary of a fireman is $000,
and that of a laborcs $720. In the course of
the recent investigation of the Doorkceper,
Mr. Landers, as we find by reference to the
official records, made the following statement
under oath:
In the first place, the New England dele-
gation agreed that whatever appointments we
got we would divide. * * Mr. Polk hand-
ed us a printed list, on which be assigned to
us a place on the soldier’s roll. a fireman‘s
place and alaborer’s place. Mr. Prescott had
been previously on the roll as a fireman, and
we understood that the engineer would insist
on having a man there of some experience,
and he was the only one who could go on
the soldier's mll. * * We spoke to Mr.
Prescott (the soldier) with reference to this,
and told him that he should have the ap—
pointment provided he was willing to divide up
with the others. * * H _c agreed that each
'month he would pay McDonnell eighteen doi-
iars and some cents, and Mr. Holt $3 33, I
think. At all events the ‘amouuts were
enough to make the pay of all three equal.”
That is to say, by. this agreement, which
was in itself entirely irregular, Mr. Landers
made Mr. Prescott promise to “divide up
with the others,”, or surrender part of his
saliry to the other appointees, in considcru
tion of being appointed a messenger, al-
though he was the only one of the three who
was eligible for that position, as he was an
old soldier and McDonnell-and Holt were
not. This strikes us as a rather small piece
of business, and a rather dubious example of '
Democratic Reform. Our Hartford friends
must feel proud of their Representative.

Tun CniLD‘s Laban—There is no day so
sacred but that the laugh of .a child will make
it liolier still. Strike with hand of fire, 0
weird musician, the lyre strung with Apollo‘s
golden hair. Fill the vast cathedral aisles
with symphonies sweet and dim, deft touch-
er of the organ keys. Blow, buglcr, blow_,-
until your silver notes do touch and kiss the
moon-lit waves, and charm the lovers .wan-
dering on the vine-clad shores; but know,
your sweetest strains are discord all, compar-
ed with childhood’s happy laugh—the laugh
that fills the eyes with light. 011 rippling
river of laughter, thou art the blessed bound—
my line between the beast and man, and eve-
ry wa ward wave of thine doth drown some
fretfu flood of care. Laughter should make
dimples of joy enongli in the .clieeks of the
world to catch and hold and glorify the tears
of grief—12. J. Ingcrsoll -

Home Coxvsnsuiom—Children hunger
perpetually for new Ideas. They will learn
with pleasure from the lips of parents what
they deem it drudgery to study in books; and
even if they have the misfortune to be de-
prived of many educational advantagcsfihcy
will grow up intelligent if they enjoy in child-
hood the privilege of listening daily to the
conversation of intelligent people. We some-
times sec pareu.s who are the life of every
company which they enter, dull, silent, and
uninteresting at home among their children.
If they have not mental activity and mental
stores sufficient for both, let them first use
what they have for ohcir own households. A
silent home is a dull place for young people,
a place from which they will escape if they
can. How much useful information, on the
other hand, is often given in pleasant family
conversation, and what unconscious, but ex-
cellent mental training in- lively, social argu-
ment. Cultivate to the utmost the graces of
conversation. .

' One of the most curious facts connected
withmadness is the utter absence of tears
amid the insane. Whatever the form of mad-
ness, tears are conspicuous for their absence,
as much in the depression of melanchoiia, or
the'excitement of mania, as in the utter apa-
thy of dementia. -If a patient in alunatic asy-
lum be discovered in tears, it will be found
that it is either'a patient beginning to recover
or an emotional outbreak in an epileptic who
is scarcely truly insane, while actually insane
patients appear to have lost the power_ of
weeping; it is only returning reason which
can once more unloose the fountains of their
tears. . Even when a lunatic is telling one in
fervent language of how she has been deprived
of her children, or the outrages that have
been perpetrated on herself, her eye is never
even moist.
Q...“—
That was a piece of wise advice that grand
old Thomas Jefferson wrote to his nephew,
Peter Carr—One that will make a noble man
or woman of any child who treasures it in his
heart and lives up to it :,“Givc up money;
'givc tip fame; give up'the earth itself and all
that it contains, rather than do an immoral
act; and never suppose that in any possible
situation, or any circumstances. it is best for
you to do a dishonorable thing.”
