To EDITORS NORWALK GAzs'rrs:-— .

Having seen a number of letters in the
Norwalk papers lately in regard to Miss M.
J. Davis, I feel, as a friend who has known
her long and well, that I must say a few
words in reply.

Let us go back some years in the history
of Miss Davis. A girl of unusual talents,
and unfailing energy and pct‘suvcrdnce, she
succeed in .procuring an education of the
highest order. Well read in the classics, :1
D. D. who stands high. in our country, said
of her, that he had never known a lady with
her knowledge of the Greek language; and
few persons, gentlemen or ladies, have read
an equal amount of Latin. She is equally
well read in modern science and literature.

Besides this she devoted some years to the
study of art, and was so successful in paint—
ing that she. Wu: advised to study with the
Italian masters. Soon after leaving school
the war broke out. With a zeal for her coun-.
try unrivalled by her zeal in fitting herself to
hold a position among the advanced minds of
the land, and with a large, Christian. philans
thropic spirit, she turned her steps to Now-
ton, and after a year’s sojourn as teacher in
the Soldiers’ Orphan Home, became superin-
tendent, matron, and teacher combined in
one. She took those children, ta t them,
sewed for them, and in every way ed for
them as if they had been her own, sacrific-
ing all her tastes, all the advantages of cul-
ture and position in society that a different
career, and one she was so well fitted for,-
would have given her. ,

When these children were grown, many,
and most holding positions that any parent-
might wellbe proud to see his own child;
filling, with a reputation for erudition that.
must necessarily ever go with her, she might
even then have changed her course and taken
a position, such as most, with her. talents
would have done. Indeed she did open her
school to boarders and day scholars and had
it immediately filled. But her love for the
friendless and needy was so great that she
opened her doors to them once more, and
took into her school a large number of chari-
ty children from Norwalk. They came to
her ignorant and‘illy clad, but she, tookfi'om
her back, chillies, from her pocket, money, and
clothed these children so as to make ‘them
presentable at church, Sabbath wheel, and in‘
the day school where they are taught with
the same care as those in the school who have
friends and money to give them favor. Miss
Davis has often been advised not to retaip
these children, as being a great drawback to
her pecuniarily and otherwise, she befiig
obliged to feed, clothe and school them for,
on an average, considerably less than two
dollars per week; but she has persistently
furned her back to all such advice, saying, I
have devoted my life thus far to the eleva-
tion of this class of children, and I will not
turn from it now. In spite of what her
friends have said, her school is constantly
full, there being beside these children about
thirty boarders, and more day scholars.

For twelve or fourteen years, time, health
and money have been given, without thought
of self, and after this sacrifice and devotion,
because she made a truthful statement in re-
gard to the clothing and cleanliness of the
children coming to her and asked the people
of Norwalk to give a pittance from their
abundance to clothe the children decently
when they came to her, she is charged with
dishonesty a’nd falsehood! She. represented
the truth and nothing but the truth. The
page of her'history is open to either public or
private investigation of those who wish to
know the truth of this matter.

Should these lines reach her eye, may she
read them as but poorly expressing the ap-
preciation which every lover of nobility of
soul and high, unselfish purpose must have
of her. A.

Letter from Brooklyn.

The Communists are exciting some alarm
amongst us, and apprehensions arc entertain-
ed that they may bc preparing for an out-
break; but the latest phase of the conclusion
is that they are seeking control through
political action. There have been in every
age two classes whose views of the world
and its progress are diametrically opposed—
Optimists and pessimism. The latter have in
these days of commercial depression and po-
litical degeneracy increased greatly in num-
her, and very many honestly believe that our
land at least is going rapidly to the “bow-
wows." Still, while I hold both these classes
to be extreme, I am content, notwithstanding
the present unfavorable aspect of society, to
be ranked with the optimists rather than the
pessimists. The complexion and texture of
social life in these, our large cities, favor this
view of the world's condition. -

out: CIVILIZATION

is assuming a better quality, whether we re-
gard the circumstances of the poor or the
conduct of the rich. Better sanitary regula-
tions, better houses, better schools, better
ideas about food and dress, and a hundred
other things mark a higher state among the
lower classes. There is of course a vast deal
of poverty and suffering amongst them,much
of it owing to their vices and improvidence,
- but in proportion to the population not more
but rather less than in former times, although
the Communists will not believe it. And in
respect to the wealthy, our American life
has taken on a much improved tone. The
things people live for are higher than for-
merly. Though numbers aim only at vain
display, and think fine houses and equipages,
extravagant dress and luxurious habits the
best aids to happiness, yet a number greater
than in other days use wealth to minister to
culture and the aims of an intelligent Chris-
tianity. This is seen in the higher character
of the
ENTERTAINMENTS

which now‘ succeed in drawing a full attend-
ance. In this city we had during the last
winter season courses of lectures on art,
which attracted large audiences and gained
much public attention, though they were of
a superior order, intended to instruct and not
amuse. The Rev. H. G. Spaulding gave one
of these courses upon the Monuments of
Ancient and Modern Rome, illustrated by
very fine views from the stereopticon. The
lectures were eight in number and Were de-
livered weekly in New York, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia. Mr. Spaulding has given years
of study to the subject, and presents it in an
easy, familiar manner. His pleasant talks,
illustrated by the beautiful scenes placed be-
fore the eyes of his hearers, gave those who
heard him clear and definite ideas of the ar.
chitectural and other monuments and of the
domestic life in the Eternal Cily both in Pa-
gan and Christian times. '

is perhaps the most valuable -of our local in-
stitutions which provide for general culture.
It has a reference library of 20,000 volumes
and some 10,000 pamphlets and manuscripts,
numerous pictures and portraits, and a cabi-
inet of much variety and extent, all of
which is kept in rooms which are very cosy
and inviting, in fact nicely furnished parlors
where the reader can .bc nearly as much at
home as in his own house. But the institu

tion has outgrown these quarters, and will
soon erect, at an outlay of $100,000, which

 

)

has already been subscribed,an elegant build-
ing on finely situated lots which are now
owned by the society. All these collections
have been gathered, twelve hundred mem-
bers enrolled, and this growth attained in do
brief space' of fourteen years. This society
annually provides for its members, ltctnrcs
from the most eminent public and literary
men. During the season now nearly ended,
Dr. Chadbourn, President of Williams Col-
lege, W. W. Story. of Itily, Prof. Diman,
Geo. T. Curtis and James '1‘. Fields have
read valuable papers. The Rev. Dr. Storm
is to close the course. President Chadbourn
greatly interested us with his descriptions of
Iceland, combining in a very happy manner
details of the geyscrs, glaciers, and other
national wonders of that land of frost and
fire, with amusing accounts of the inhabitants
and their life. But it was reserved for
1111. JAMES ’1“. minus

to carry us all away captive by his most
charming talk about ‘ Literary and Artistic
Life in London thirty years ago." His dc-
livery is entirely converszui goal and extreme-
ly pleasing. No one has so thoroughly de-
lighted an audience here as he did, holding
the attention perfectly for an hour and half
without once breaking from a quiet conver-
sational touc. Yet he was varied and anima-
ted and passed from the descriptive to the
tender, from the impressive to the laughable
with remarkable ease and excellent taste. It
seemed to bring us very near to past celebri-
ties to listen to a gentleman who had enjoyed
intimacy with the poet Rogers, who told
him that he had talked with Boswell, Dr.
Johnson‘s biographer and companion, and
had traveled with Byron acroas the Alps into
Italy. _ R. B. S.

WESTPORT.

As per announcement, Rev. Dr. Sanderson
reviewed his five year‘s work as pastor of the
Congregational church, Sunday morning,
12th. His theme was the Golden Rule, and
his text the words, “Do unto others as ye
would they should do unto you.“ There
were many attentive listeners, most of whom
came away impressed deeply with what they
heard. During the past week the Doctor had
been informed by the church committee that
his salary would be reduced from $1,800 to
$1,200 per year. In view of the fact that
he had accepted the charge five years ago
with the understanding that his compensa-
tion should be $2,000 per year and a house,
—that later he was cut down $200, and now
was to suffer a further reduction of $600, he
was in a frame of mind to speak anything
but pleasant words. After dwelling eloquent-
ly up in man's duty to his fellow man, the
Doctor, in the language of a heater, “whaled
the congregation within an inch of their
lives.” He pictured the treachery of some
people he knew of, the fawning flattery
showered upon him to his face which was
followed by far different expressions when
his back was turned; of the dcceitfulness of
the managers of the church in so mystifying
and covering up the real condition of affairs
as to mislead the pastor and place him in a
false light before the world. Indeed he went
into the very vitals of the church body politic
and exposed the inner workings thereof,
no stones unturned which, by' turning, would
aid in showing the utter contempt he had for
the people with whom he was associated.

Accident to an Aerouant.

ROCHESTER, May 12.— A frightful acron-
autic accident occurred at Victor, near this
place, Friday. As Mr. Lavelle grasped the
bar to his trapeze balloon and gave the order
to cut loose the strap,‘onc guy missed and the
balloon shOt upward, only to be held in dan-
gerous captivity. Finally the guy broke.but
the balloon still careencd and tossed terribly,
and as it shot upward hurled the aeornnut
against the roof of a neighboring building
with such violence as to break his lc'ft arm,
crush his thigh and inflict serious internal in-
juries. Notwithstanding this terrible acci—
dent the areonaut clung to the trapeze, drew
himself up, threw one leg over the bar and
patiently awaited the cooling of the air in the
balloon. The machine descended in about
half an hour, and the unfortunate man was
properly cared for. :It is feared that his in-
ternal injuries may prove fatal.

Reception Into the Church.
[From the Waterbury AmeriennJ

At the communion service at the First
church (Rev. Joseph Anderson,) Sunday
afternoon 5th, the new “form in the public
reception of members into the fellowship of
the church" was used for the first time, hav-
ing been adopted by vote of the church on
the 19th April. The form used heretofore in
the reception of members conSIStcd as in
most of the Congregational churches, of the
articles of faith and the church covenant By
the adoption of a new form the old articles
of faith are not rejected, but assent to the
non essential details of doctrine will not
henceforth be required as acondition of
membership. The “creed" embodied in the
form is no longer nor more rigid than the
New Testament requires. The form includes
the gllillg of the right hand of fellowship by
the pastor, and contains also a brief address
to persons received on certificate from other
churches. Taken as-a whole, it is considera-
bly shorter than the old one, and is designed
to express warmth and tenderness Of feeling,
and to assure those who seek admission to
the church of a cordial welcome. By its
hearty adoption, of this new form the
,First church which is one of the aides!
and in some respects most conservative in the
state, gives distinct and formal expression
to the liberality of sentiment for which it
has for some time been known.

 

The London “Times” on 0011111111-
nism in America

LONDON, May 12.—Dispatches from Amer i-
on reporting apprehensions of a communislic
outbreak are attracting universal atten.
tion. The general opinion is that it will be
the worse for the communists The Times,
in an editorial on the subject yesterday, con-
cludes as follows:

“If, as we will not anticipate, the United
States is destined to go through a social crisis
of this kind, we shall doubtless hear again,
as we used to hear fifteen years ago, a good
deal about the evil effects of democratic
institutions. If, however, it is a weakness
of institutions like those of America to give
a tolerent encouragement to all sorts of ex-
periments in social and political organization,
it is their strength to be able to survive them,
to profit by their success, and to be little the
worse for their failure. The fabric of
American society is so strong that it can sus-
tain, with little or no injury, shocks which
would be fatal to weaker and more efiete
constitutions. In the United States freedom
of discussion is the safety-vale through which
a great deal of superfluous political sagacity
enough to distinguish sharply between intem-
perate or even revolutionary speech and
rebellious action. They have unbounded
toleration for the one, but have never shown
any great patience on the other. We do not
doubt that if they have to deal with any dun.
gerous form of communism, they will deal
with it effectively. The social fabric of the
United States is as capable of successfully
resisting such an attack as that of any state
in the world."

Practical Union.

A missionary of the American Sunday
School Union in Missouri writes; “ At
Lower Gravois I found the Bible shool kept
up in the house of azealons Presbyteiim,
opened by him for preaching, for three years,
and in which, for want of a better place, the
Baptists have a church organized. A Union
prayer meeting also is kept up there every
Sabbath where there is now preaching, :and
and the Presbyterian brothers reads a sermon.
There was a revival there, and eighteen
conversions the past winter, and there is a
great change in the community.——C’/ulro.’t

FABLES.

 

ADAI’TED most user.
I. .
. A Poor bank clerk seeing the directors mak-
mg merry over their wine and conchas, said:
What an uproar there would be if I were

doing that. This fable teaches that “envy
sours the mind.”

11.

A lawyer was pestering a witness, and he
refused to testify. The lawyer called to him
and said the judge will fine you for cont-ima-
cy. Butsaid the witness I'd better be fined
by the judge than to be cross-examined by
you. This fable teaches that “of two evils
choose the least."

III.

An avaricious capitalist had government
bonds which paid him six per cent. per an-
num. But thinking if be exchanged them
for railroad bonds he would get ten per cent.
he did so. lint the railroad bonds becoming
worthless he recaived not even one per cent.
This fable teaches “leave well enough alone."

Rocky Mountain Lakes.
mi: arms or me AMERICAN. ALPS—THE
Inna Or 1111111 ALI.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.

. I have met but very few Californians cvcn
who have any adequate conception of the
marvelous abundanc of glacier lakes hidden
away in the fastness of our mountains. The
glaciers and the snow make an impressive
appearance even to the distant plains, while
not a single stream is visible, or a hollow
where one might hope for a lake. Neverthe-
less, wild rivers are falling and sounding in
every canon, and all their upper branches
are fairly laden with lakes, like orchard trees
with fruit. They nestle in rocky nooks
around the base of every Alp in the,range,
reflecting their rugged beauty over and over
again. From the summit of Red Moun-
tain— a day's journey to the East of Y0-
semite Valley—no less than forty-two are dis-
played within a radius of eight or ten miles,
and the whole number in the Sierra can hard-
ly be less than 1,500 exclusive of the smaller
gems, which are innumerable. Perhaps two-
thirds or more of the whole number lie on
the western flank, and all are restricted, to
the Alpine and sub-Alpine regions.

Lake Takoc is king of them all, not only
in size, but in the surpassing beauty 0’! its
shores and waters. It :lies embosomed in
lofty mountains near the northern extremity
of the Alpine portion, of the range, between
the main axis and a spur that puts out on
the east from near the heart of the Carson
river. Though twenty’one miles long by ,
ten wide, and from about 500 to 1,650 feet
in depth, its basin was filled during the gla-
cial period from the bottom to a point high
above the present water level with solid fee,
which, lavishly fed by the snows that fell on
its mountain fountains, crawled slowly like a
mighty river over the northwestern rim of
the basin, crushing and grinding the moan-
tains that lay in its way, and it was Only at
the close of the ice period that this noble lake,
at. least in anything like its present form,
came into existence.

Excepfing the forests which have sprung
up around its shores, the post-glacial changes
that have taken place are scarcely appreci-
able. The sediments carried forward by the
overflowing streams have given rise to a few
square-miles of meadow land at the head of
the lake, and the breaking through of a
moraine dam three miles down the outlet has
lowered the lake considerably, leaving shore
branches, and lines on the rock promontories,
to mark the original level. ‘ But with these
comparatively faint exceptions the lake itself
and all its compassing mountains exist today
in jushbout the condition they presented
when they first came to the light on the re-
moval of the ice mantle. ‘

 

 

A Second Mrs. Toodles.
A clever writer in Amktlm’a thus writes:—
The other day I nearly broke my neck over
Mrs. Clutter’s tiger rug. Why are there tiger
rugs, I demand to know P Why must peo-
ple, in blind subjection to the tyrant Fashion
make their houses preposterous curiosity
shops? Mrs. Cluttcr’s house, and not your
ideal, is the true example of the prevailing
rage. She has shut out all the light from her
windows with horse hair curtains aninch
thick, which Once would not have been
thought good enough for horse blankets.
She has laid down her floors in many colored
rugs so thickly that one might think himself
inla carpet dealers warerooms, and the visitor
must be wary or he’ll be tripped up by them
at evey step. She has covered her walls with
gorgeous jugs, .bowls, jars, urns, vases of
every conceivable variety, in which for the
most part ingenuity in the way of ugly de.
sign has done its work. She has hung screens
in her doorways, and cabinets over her
mantels. She has mounted old brass the
dogs over her book shelves, and planted em-
blazoned shields of metal over her door
lintels. She has brought all the old worm-
eaten furniture she could find, and asks you
to sit on chairs that were made for, mankind
before backbones were discovered. She has
turned the gas out of the house, and illumina.
ted it with painted candles. . She goes to bed
witha Roman candlestick, sleeps under a
Moorish rug, eats off of cracked china discov-
ered in a Marbleliead fisherman’s cottage,
wears a medizeval gown that is all straight
lines; and she talks all day of Mcdicean porce-
lain, of Roman amphoraa and 'Etruscan vases,
of pres de Flandre, Dutch delft, and Raffaelo
league and mezz'a-majolica; of Palissy and
Henri Deux, of Chinese celestial blue and
crackle,,of Japanese cloi‘wnne, old Satsnmas
and Hispano-Moresque, of Sevres and'pata-
our-pole, of Chippendale and Eastlake furni-
ture, of Queen Anne and Renaissance and
Marie Antoinette, and soon ad influitum,
with a skill at quoting catalogues and run-
ning of! names that is amazing. Is this a true
house§that is made up of curious triles from
the shops—that is simply a chaos of colors,
knick-knacks and all forms of fantastic fool.
ishness? Are there breadth, humanity, heart,
life, dignity, intellect, felicity, in this jumble
of misnamed art? Unless art broadens the
imagination and stirs the faculties, there is
no excuse for its being; but the art that
Mrs. Clutter is prostrate before dwarfs the
imagination, narrows the intellect and im-
poverishes the whole nature. She hasno
sympathy with men and women; it is all
absorbed by her teacups and saucers. She
has no perceptions 'of life except as a sur-
render of the mind to her paltry toys, and
she is more concerned in, the downfall of a
cracked plate. than in the wars and calamities
that afflict the world outside of her bazaar.
Her children are hidden away in nurseries;
she dares not permit them to bring their
active bodies and restless spirits into her
rooms lest they knock down her glass screens
or break her precious jars.

It is reported that a physician went out of
