Comnun X Roans (which is in the State
of Kentuckey), Jooly 1, 1878.-1-The finanshcl
condisn uv the Corners is and hes bin terrble
scnce the tyrant Linkin emansipated our nig-
gers, and tother tirant Grant refoosed us the
control of the fedrel patronage. The people'
am that gradually the entire wealth uv the
Corners wuz centerin in the' hands of the
bloatid monopolists, Bascom and Pollock.
Bascom was igradooally absorbin all the cap-
itle luv the Dimocrisy, for-he dealt in the
goods they yoose, and our march to beggary
wuz stiddy and inexorable. We coodent
work, becoz the native white Kentuckian is
averse to work, and likker he must hev. We
kin git on with a very Iittlc,bread, but likker
is a prime ncccssity, and there is no escape
fsom it. And so, ez wuz perdoosin nothin’,
and must live, Bascom hed got mortgages on
all her property, and he wuz gradoolly ab-
sorbin everything of valoo. How to prevent
this hez bin the problem which we hev dis-
cussed between drinks, for yeers. And
lately, ez Bascom has abandoned the credit
system, and insists upon cash ‘jist before
takin a drink, to prevent mistakes and mis-
understandins, we hev plenty‘of time to dis-
cuss these points. ‘

The Communists of N00 York solved the
problem for us. The idee uv dividin up all
he property ckally, and abolishin at one
sweep both the creditor and the debtor class,
uv hevin everybody shareekelly not only all
the property. but the gains uv biznis, struck
us ez :precisely wat we wantid, and we de-
termined to karry it into effect.

Deekin Pogram objectid at first, for he sed
he didn't quite see why he shood give up his
farm; butI showdlhim ez Bascom held a
mortgage onto it .for more than it wuz wuth,
that it wood, under the present nefarious and
oppressive system, inevitably pass into his ,
hands in a few "short months, it wOodentrr
make any difference anyhow. He consented,
ez did Issaker‘ Gavitt, whose mortgage falls
due in a month, andso did Captain M’Pelter,
wich hez recently borrowed a large sum uv
11 N00 England inshoorence company.

Bascom Objected and Pollack objected,

and wefelt it nessary to yooseforce. We‘
qrgauized, andxafterrcsolvin that capital wuz
robbery and whoever posseg'medrmore' wealth '
than anyone elsewu‘z a thief,we moved onto.
Bascom, and Pollock. Me‘and Issaker Gav
itt and Deekin Pogram wuz .appintid a com--
mittee to. divide the property upekitably.
. It wuz a very ample process. There wuz
exactly four hundred, present wich we con.
sidered entitled to dividends, and alll'we bed
to do wuz to inventory theirng and di-
vide em up. And we did it. .

Bascom bed on hand eggsackly two barls
uv likker, besides wat wuz in the bottles on
the bar, which the committee consumed to
support ’em doorin the division. This wuz
eighty-four gallons ,uv likker “ to be divided
into four hundred. _ In '. two: balls there’s .
about six hundred and seventy-two pints
wich made a trifle over a pint and a half to
each Communist. We divided it up. each
man gifting his pint and a half, wich wuz
promptly drunk on the spot. For an houraft'er
the last drop disappeared the citizens wuz
enthusiastic 'ovci' tho idee andgcommunism
wuz votid a great auctions. ‘ "

At Pollock’s we hed more trouble. He
hed about four hundred yards uv calico on
hand, which we divided up, giving each
man a yard. There wuz only two hundred
pares uv' shoes, so each, one only got one
shoe apiece. The sugar;- amt-molasses didn’t
do cm very imuelfigooflfi ez%it.’wuz wastid
largely in drawiu. The woolen goods wuz
divided up like. the calicos. and give cm
about a yard apcece. The agricultooral im-
plements we divided up by ,rafile, ez ther‘
wasn‘t plows enuff to go around, and we
coodent divide a plow.

We got Bascom and Pollock communed in
about an hour, and the Corners postponed
dividing up the real estate till morning.

The citizens met. at Bascom'scarly in the
mornin to finish. The Dekin called upcn
Bascom to set em up, ez he hed sold a plow
which he hed won at the division uv Pol-
lock‘s property, to a nigger farmer for four

, dollars, and triumphontly showed the money
so that Bascom shood 'hev no hesitashen
settin uv it out.

“How kin I set out likker," answered G.
W., “when I ain’t got none? Yoo divided
it up yesterday afternoon.” '

“But you wuz agoin to hev a fresh lot in
from :Looisville, last night," returned the
Deekin. 1

“I wuz,” replied Bascoul, “but I counter-
manded the order. I snan't keep any more
likker in the Corners, till yoo git some
settled noshuns of finance. I don't like this
dividin biznis. _Yoo hed better turn around
and find some one who didn’t drink his pint
and'a half, and make him divide with them
ez did censoom rther share. . I don’t seehow
yoo} kin stop .this notion, after it's once
started.” g

That wuz hopeless. Every mother’s son uv
em hed drank his share, on the spot, and ther
wuzn‘t a dropto be bed for love ormoney.
And flier wu'zzfour hundred men, on u‘v'e‘m
waitili for their mornin m....ana' riot a:
drop to be bed. And ther not mm, 'the
only urn wich could funrish it to us, smilin
at our agony, ez calm oz 11 summer mornin.
And when he pulled a pint flask from his
pockit, and took his drink with the remark
that he hed been prudent enufi to save that,
it stir‘ngi‘us to madnis. ' »

'Finelly Bascomsed that the likker that he
hed ordered wuz'reely in» theCoruers, but
thatheconceeledit .till he cood know suthin
uv‘ ‘wat wuz to'happen to him. And we'
compromised. We ed to return to the
old'ways—to_compensa e him for the likker
we had consumed the nite afore, and to post-
pone the regenerirshen uv the world, at least
six months. and to giv him a month’s notic
afore we commenst agin. On these condishns
he rolled in a bar], and the corners wuz ir-
rigated. -

We are gittin on very well now by tradin
what we eommooned from: Pollock to Bas-
corn for likker. The yard pieces uv calico
and woolen he takes for likker and sells em
in Louisville to clothin men for vest
patterns. and the other goods he takes at a
fair valyooashen. 'Bascom ain't hard to deel
with cf yoo hev got anything with wich-to
pay him

I don't know how a commoonity fixed ez
we are kin hev communism in its purify.
We are in the iron grasp of capital, and don’t
apeertobe able to'git out oy it. Efwe cood
divide Bascom up, and then the minnit wat
we took uv him was gone, hev another man
come in with a stock to divide up, and so
ad infinitum.‘ as 'the Deckin remarks, is
sordid, but when they diskiver the kind uv
amarkit the'Cor'ners wuz, he wuz afeered

GaNsnAI. Gasman) 0N 111E Pram.- or run
FUTURE—General James A. Garfield deliv-
ed the Fourth of. July oration at Paines-
ville, C. After recounting the perils the re-
public has safely passed in the past he said :
“The troubles which will probably come upon
us hereafter offer too wide a field to speak of

’at length, but I. will name the most danger-

6us. I take it for granted there will be no
foreign wars; I take it for granted there will
be ho attempt to disrupt the Union; I take it
for granted that none will try to drive us
from the sons. But fellow citizens, will we
be able to keep our people so that they shall
have a love of law and good government so
strong: that no misrule or disorder shall be
possible? The troubles hereafter will be with-
in ourselves. And I want- to say a single
word on one danger ? There has sprung up
a‘ notion that there is nothing divine in gov.
ernments—that they are the work of man,
like. these tables or these chairs. Now if that
is true, he may knock the government to
pieces with thesame immunity from responsi-
bility with which he may knock to pieces
those other works of his hand. The atheism
of the times has worked. its way until now it
is trying to expel God from our government.
I_ do not propose to make a theological dis-
course, but I will say that the Alinighty
cannot thus be ignored. To illustrate:
Man and woman are ‘under no obligation
'to found a family; yet after they have
founded it, although up to thattime all
has'bcen voluntary on their part. it becomes»
a put of the divine plan, and the .bonds
cannot be broken with impunity. for -a-
stroke at them is a blow at the Almighty.
And it is the same witha government. True,
we have the right to determine the form, but
after it is established it is divine, and the
voice of the magistrate is,for all lawful pur-
poses, the voice of God. The walls of Jeru.
salem were the work of human hands; the
artisan pounded and hammered even on the
most sacred parts of it. and they owed their
forms to him; but when if was done the work-
man stood back, and the 'presencc of God
filled it. So when our fathers set up this
government, it became the adopted child of
God, and rebellion against it is not only
treason against the country, but treason
against God. But there is _a struggle soon to
come, against which must be brought to hear
every element of patriotism and religion
within our confines. A movement is going

on to which we must not shut our eyes. It .

is the so-called war between capital and labor.
The disturbing element in this case was not
born on the Hudson; it was born' on the
Seine, and has no part in our life. Eighty.
years ago when the bloody commune of
France, after its march of cruelty and terror,
was finally subjugatcd, the rcminant fled
across the ocean and took refuge in New
York, in Philadelphia, in Cincinnati, in Chi-
cago. and all the great cities. And this ele.
ment has been working ever since and is
working to-day to corrupt our people with
the purpose of ,making a French hell in the
heart of the United States. There may have
been some excuse in France at that time, as,
in many of the monarchics of would world,
for the existence of such a class. If I had
lived there it is possible I may have felt like
them, and rebelled against a klngly tyranny
that had become almost too opressive for
endurance. But in this country-there is no
such‘condition of things. There is not a'boy
in this crowd, black'or white, no-u‘iattcr how
poor or humble, if he has the ability and the
energy, but may' rise to the top, a career. is
open to him,‘ and therefore he has‘no need to .
resort to desperate and criminal remedies.
I tell you this element is foreign to us,
and when it comes here it soon gets baptised.
No doubt thereare wrongs between capital
and labor, and wherever they exist, in God's
name-let them be rrighted. But let all obey
the laws. "Any man who talks otherwise is
ademagogue. If Christianity and right are
to prevail against this danger it must be con-
fronted by three things; First, intelligence
disseminated by the light of our schools;
second, by giving all the play and force to
Christian morality that it is capable of receiv—
ing: and, third, ‘ by using all-our powers to
enforce the laws.‘ But I don't believe that
such people as ours are destined to be broken
'down; it isonly necessary' for us to under?
stand a danger in order to avoid a crash.

danger I can see. Leaving out that, I should ,
say that 'the coming years sloped forward
into grandeur. It would be shame, after
all the dangers and obstacles which we have _
overcome, to leteone undo all the glorious
victories already achieved. But we have
only to remember with the poet, that.

“Self-reverence. self-sacrifice and self-control—
! hese three lead life to sovereignty and power.’

Acorrespondent, T. L. 8., writes to the
Norwich Bulletin as follows: “From the
minutes of the General Association of Con-
necticut, for 1877, just published, it appears
that the oldest minister by ordination is the
Rev. Joel Mann, of New Haven the oldest
pastor in active service is the Rev. Austin
Putnam of Whitneyville, the average minis-
'terial age is largest in New Haven East and
New London associations, twenty-eight
years, the smallest in Litchfield South seven-
teen years. Five members 00 the body
have finished their course and entered into
rest the past year, viz., the Rev. Jonathan
Bruce, D. D.,'of Hartford Union Associa-
tion, the Rev. Erastus ‘B. Claggett. of Fair-
field East Association, the Rev. Elijah B.
Huntington, of Windham Association, the
Rev. Abram Marsh, of Tollaud Association,
and the Rev. Samuel. Spring, D. D., of Hart;
ford Union Association. The largest Sub;
‘bath schools are in New British, New,

New Britain South seven hundred and seven-
ty- seven members. "

that “ the peculiarity of the'fly is that he re-

important fact in natural history."

Great Ecl Pond—Millions ot'Fish
and How They are cared For.
0n the farm of James N. Wells, on what

iscalled “County Road}? Inflthe town of

Riverhead, is the greatest eel preserve ever

seen inland. The pond covers five acres.

.Two years ago Mr. Wells put into.the pond

2,000 dozen eel’s with no intention of dis-

turbing them for five years. They have in-

creased wonderfully, millions berng in the
pond, and it is tlrought'that there will to
quadrillions before Mr. Wells gets ready to
market them, and that he has a. fortune in

them. , ' I p

, The eels arcfcd regularly every three days
on what is known as. “horse feet,” a sea
product, "with meat inside a shell which takes
the shape of a horse’s hoof, and it is doubt-
less from- that it derives the name. The
eels socm- to know that they are to be

fed, for- when Mr. Wells beats upon the

side of his wagon with the but end of his
whip they swarm toward him.. Any other
person may beafand bang for hours without
causing the slightest commotion among them.
Hundreds of people go to see them fed. Mr.
-Wells, to satisfy the visitors" corIOSity, will
hold a horse foot in the water for a' minute
or two, and then withdraw it with numerous
eels clinging to the contents of the shell.
The largest eel ever taken fl'Onl'tlle pond
in this way weighed five and three quarter
pounds, but there are, it is thought, still lar-

ger ones. They consume 750 horse 'feet in

three days. It would seem impossible tofur.
nish so many, but the number does not begin
to detail the-extent of the‘ catch." ’ Millions or
them are annually fed to swine and poultry,
and'some men make a business of catching
them. On June 15th, after a storm, Captain
Downs. with a trap of his own invention,
caught-1,000 “feet,"und‘between the 15th Of
J one and April his aggregate catch was 19,-
000. ,

Seldom have we read anything more elo-
quent and beautiful than -a scene in the re—
cent Southern General Conference of the
Methodist church, at which two delegates
were received from the African Methodist
church. Au eye-witness says that each of
these delegates made remarkable speeches,
but one of them, Johnson by name, said:
“Brethren, there happened in that ante-room
just now a circumstance I shall never forget.
You remember that David in the cave of
Aduliam sighed for water from the well of
Bethelem, find that three young men, at
the peril of their lives. brought the longed
for water, which David would not, after all,
drink, since it had been procured at the
peril of life. He therefore poured out the
water as a libatlon before the Lord.” Said
the speaker, “When I entered the roomI
was fevered, and, like David,“ longed for
water. A gentleman took a goblet to serve
me; during his absence I learned that he
was the Governbr -of Georgia. Realizing
the chasm between us, I thought of David,
and taking the goblet from his hand I begged
that I might pour out the water as a libration
forever between his race and mine.” Well
might the correspondent add': “We never
saw 'a house more stricken, thrilled and
melted b'y speech from any human orator. "—

Already two were out- 1

The grin that lightened up his face
Shone round about his snout.

The boy, he raised the ash aloft
And called for one hip-high,

The pitcher put it in red hot—
It hit him in the eye.

Again that gallant youth stood up,
Determined he. would score;
The next one hit in the stomach—

INTERVIEW mm A DIPLOMATE—‘Ilrc
Germanj comic paper, the Wasp, gives the
folldtving as the account furnished by its
special correspondent at Berlin, of an inter.
view‘with Count Andraesy : .
“The count was sitting at a table when I
entered, amusing himself with cutting out of
a map of turkey the portion which he wants
or means to annex.
‘Count,’ I began, ‘what prospects are there
of a successful issue of the congress?’
‘I don’t go out much,’ replied the minister,
‘but what I have seen of Berlin I like im-'
mensly. But the Z_ological Gardens might be
improved, and I hops the designers of sOme
or the‘fountains will meet the fate they dc-
serve.’ '
‘Some people,’ I continued‘ ‘think it a bad
omen for peacethat you are so friendly with
our chancellor; is this the case? ”
‘I generally ride,’ said the count, and took
up his whip.
‘I should rcally very much like to know,’
remarked I, ‘what form the Turkish empire
will take under the hands of the congress 'r"
‘Thc chancellor,’ said the count, has dc;
cided upon the horse shoe shape, and it is
certainly the best for a congress table ’
‘And will England withdraw her fleet, and
will Austria go to war in any case ?’ asked I.
‘You are quite right; Vienna is a charm-
ing city; but there is plenty to, amuse you
in Berlin. It was. really' very pleasant the
other day in the Zoological Gardens and
great fun to see the children ride on camels.’
‘And what will be the order of the day at
the next sitting of the congress?’ said I, with
'a polite bow. , ‘ '
‘The Next sitting will be between the
third and fifth, because it» is the fourtb,’rc-
plied the Austrian diplomatist.
This concluded the audience, which had
lasted an hour and fifty-five minutes. The
count gave me full permission to make what
use I pleased of his communications. He is
very good looking, and extremely like his
photograph." .

SUN STROKE—The following is an abstract

from a circular issued by. the New York
Board of Health. Sun stroke is caused by
excessive heat, and especially if the weather
is muggy. It is more likely to occur on the
second, third or fourth day of a heated term
than on the. first. The time when people are

lotf

most prone to be sun struck is between 11 and
4 o’clock. Wear thin clothing, sleep in care-
fully ventilated rooms, avoid loss or sleep and
over-fatigue. Put a moist handkerchief in
the hat; lift the hat of! from time to time in
order to obtain ventilation. Do not check
perspiration, but drink what water you need
in ordento keep up perspiration. If you feel
fatigue, dizziness, headache or exhaustion,
stop work at once. Sit down in a cool,
shady place." Apply wet cloths, and bathc
the face and neck in cold water. If any one
is overcome with heat send, at once for a
physician. While waiting for the doctor
give the patient . cold water or cold tca.
Pour cold water on the neck and wrist and
. apply pounded ice wrapped up in a towel to
the head. When a pe?son ‘is pale and faint,
with_.a feeble pulse, give him some ammonia
to smell and administer a teaspoonfnl of
water sweetened with sugar.

 

' What Rum Did for Husband and
Wife. .
[From the New York Sun, 18th.

Mrs. Emma Judson is an accomplished
lady of refined manners and appearance.
Her husband is a retired merchant living in
Bridgeport, Conn., and they have a boy
twelve years of age. She is less than thirty.
Soon after her marriage with her own money
she bought a house in Lexington avenue,
Brooklyn, where the couple began lifc'iu
comfort. Mr. Judson was in the liquor busi-
ness, and his home was liberally supplied
with wrnes. He became over-fond of drink,
and so much so that it led to a divorce, the
wife being the. plaintiff. Signs of reform-
tion and promise to do better led .;to forgive-
ness on her part and they were unmarried.
After the second mamag' e Mrs. Judson her-
self became the victim of strong drink and
her husband began a suit for limited divorce
that is now pending. Mrs. Judson went to
live with her mother, Mrs. Margaret P.
Lindsléy, at 154 Lee avenue, Brooklyn. She
was unable to break up her habits of drink-
ing and four months ago committed an
assault upon her mother, for which she was
arrested and sentenced to the Kings county

penitentiary for six months. The life in the
prison having to a large extent cured her of
her love for liquor, her mother on a writ of
certiorari, had her before Judge McCue in

Brooklyn yesterday. , Her release is desired
that she may be re-unit'ed to ‘her' husband.
She seemed to feel her disgrace keenly. She

Was allowed to go on her- own recognizance

until Friday, when she is to appear to give

bail, pending a review of the proceedings of

the lower court. '

 

ltis now thorough] understood says the
Boston Commercial ulleti'n that the line
“Though lost to sight to memory dear" was
in one of the earliest pieces of poetrv ever
composed, said to have been written-by Noah
soon after his embarkation, as appears by the
following translation from an ancient manu-
script; -'
" oat, afloat. the night is dark,
Yet safe we sail within the ark,
The elephant, the wicked flea,
And two of all the beasts that be.

All earth is overwhelmed with rain,
When shall we see its face again ;
Though lost to sight to memory dear,
It is so far and yet so near.”

W -
“Doesn’t Boston harbor remind you of the '
Bay of Naples 7’" asked an enthusiastic yachts-
man. “Yes” was the answer, “at east in
one respect. They are both full of water."

A correspondent enquires what is to be-
come of _Dr. Ayer’s property. Why it goes
to his heirs, of course.
