0 star on the breast of the river,
0 marvel of bloom and grace,
Did you fall straight down from heaven
Out of the sweetest place?
You are white as the thoughts of an angel,
Your heart is steeped in the sun;
Did you grow in the golden city,
My pure and radiant one P
Nay, nay, I fell out of heaven ;
None gave me my saintly while;
it slowly grew from the blackness
Down in the dreary night.
From the ooze of the silent river’
I won my glory and grace.
White souls fall not, 0 my poet;
They rise to the‘sweetest place.

Sept. 15.1878 . )
The noozc from Maine hez 'l‘eached the
Corners and it hez encouraged us, both ez
Nashnels 'and Dimocrats. It doesn’t make
a straw’s difference to. me whether we the
Dimocrats hev swallercd the Nashnels, or
whether the Nashnels have swallered us.
There hez bin swallerin, ahd the Republican
party hez lost its grip. We are happy.
Es Nashnels we hev things cggsackly to
soot us at the Corners, and throughout this
seckshun. We hev succeeded in institootin
strikes in all the manufacturin villages in the
seckshun, and hev all the workingmen out
ov work and in consekent distress. At Fact-
ryville there ain’t any more factory at all, for
we burned it in the holy crusade uv labor
agin capital. In Plainville we hev got all
the mechanics and laborers on a strike, which
bed the deliteful and cheerin etfeck uv
thrown every workingman out ov work,
hallceloogy. They hev nothin to do now
but to walk about the streets day times, and
lissen to our speeches nites. And we are
makin it lively for the bloated employers,
yoo bet. Whenmen are distrest they want
a remedy,- and they’ll take most any kind uv
medicine.
To support em, we hev instituted a pro-
vishnal bank, .wich will do till the fiat money .
is ishood. It‘s the same thing ez “fiat"
money. I am President uv it and Issaker
Gavit is.Cashier. Our money is simply a
slip uv paper onto which- is printed the sole-
inspirin‘ words——
This Is A DOLLAR. .
PETROLEUM V. NASBY, Pres.
ISSAKER Gavrr'r, Casheer.
The only secoority that we felt wuz neces-
sary wuz to pledge the sacred faith uv the
Corners that it wuz a dollar. _
“WAT IS IT 7to BE REDEEME‘D IN ?”
qnired a shoemaker to whom I offered it
for a pair uv boots, the first I hev bed for
years. ' l ‘
“In nothin. It don't want to be redeem-
ed. To redeem it wood be to destroy its life-
giving principle. Anybody kin ishoo money
with gold behind it to redeem it-your troo
finanseer is he wich kin make money wich
don’t want redeeming. All yoo hev to do
with this money is to keep it movin. Yoo
hump this bill onto yoor leather merchant,
and he’ll bump it along onto someboddy else,
and ez long ez yoo think it‘s a dollar, why
isn’t it ?”
He took it, tho it seemed to me he wuzn’t
convinst. I
We ain’t bothered with it at all, cz it ain’t
never to be redeemed, except that when one
bill wears out, the holder kin come and git
another in its stead. We mite retire a worn-
out bill, but ez that wood contract the cur-
rency we don’t think it the best thing to do.
IVc want a volume uv currency afloat ekal
to the demands uv trade.
There wuz some trouble, for a great many
farmers didn’t want to take it and Bascom
kicked somewhat. But we bed a remedy
for this. The labrin populashcn held a
meetin and in the sacred coz uv laber agin
capitile notified the people that any one wich
refoozed to take the money at par wood be
to-wunst hung. Under this stimulus Bas-
com took it, but he immejitly advanced the
price uv likker to fifteen cents, and in a few
hours after to twenty-five. ‘
We remonstratcd with him about it, and
he answered us :—
“Ef there's going to be a uv prosperity,
I am going to share in it. '00 kin hey all
the likker you want at five cents, old money,
but ef I am compelled to take yoor fiat
money for likker, yoo can‘t dictate to me
the price I she] ask, for that rests with me
ez a free citizen uv these Yoonited States.”
I am a just man. I acknowledge the
strength uv his posishun. All I did wuz to
warn oven TO THE PRINTIN curls
and order another one hundred thousand
dollars struck off, and put it into cirkelashen
to-wunst. Wat we want is money cnuff.
The efieck on the corners wuz instantan-
eous. -Wc never had such a era uv prosperi-
ty. Ez every' man had all the money he
wantid, work was generally suspendid, and
the'peoplc give themselves ' up wholly to en-
joyment. Bascom did a tremendous busi-
ness, the storekeepcrs (all except, the cuss
Pollock and Joe Bigler, who not only re-
foozed to takethe money but refoozcd to be
hung,) did a smashing business. Men wich
never bed a dollhr in their lives hed ther
pockits full, and ther is nothin but the most
cheerful prcspeck ahed uv us. When money
kin be bed by printing it, wat is to privcnt
Attcst :
' everybody hevin all they need? Nothin. I
shel print a lot more to-morrow.
PETROLEUM V. Nasnr,
Reformer and Finanseer,
P. S.—-There is one little speck uv trouble
about our fiat money. There ain’t no farmer
puttin in any wheat, for they say they don’t
keer about sweatin for this kind uv money.
The bloatid employers at Factryville, and
Plainville, hev consentid to advance the
wagis uv ther employes ef they will take our
money in pay, but the mechinics swear they
must be paid in Nashnal Bank-notes, ef they
work. And the most uv em decided they
won’t work at all so long ez they kin git
enulf uv fiat money to live on. It’s all very
well now, but ther ought to be some work
goin on. We must hev legislashen compell-
in uv em.
Voracious Fishes.
During the past week or two a school-of
pike have located under the Sacramento and
Y010 bridge, and they can be seen near the
surface of the water. . They average about a
foot in length, and are so unmerous that
there is hardly a square foot of water but con-
tains a couple of them. They remain in the
shadow of the structure, and lay with their
heads up stream. Every small fish, that
comes down the river. is instantly gobbled
up. So complete does the blockade appear
to be, that it is very improbable that any of
the young fish that are on their way downthe
rivor run the gauntlet and live. It has been
suggested that Commissioner ‘Redding have a'
few charges of giant powder exploded among
the piratical fellows, so that the fish that are
hatched above may pass unharmed t0 the sea.

That Horrid Heater.
Cool autumn evenings and mornings have
caused many a householder to light a fire in
his “heater,” which is the general name for
whatever warming centre the average dwell-
ing possesses, and the heater, in turn, has
caused a domestic epidemic of headaches.
It has done it every year for every family
that has been within range of its deoxy-
genated air, and it will problbly continue
to do so until it is retired on account of in-
capacity on account of long service; but it
would not be'unwise for those who suffer
by it to question whether its peculiar abili-
ties are of a sort particularly useful to. those
who hang hopefully about its warm breath.
‘ 1f the average heater werea human being
and did half as much mischief as is now‘
prepared within its brick or iron frame it
would deserve opprobrious epithets almost
as severe as those which are heaped upon
street cleaning commissioners. As a rule
no one but the man who sells it can say a
good word for it; it usually leaks gas from
its joints, passes carbonic acid gas through
the cells of its firebox and consumes
every particle of oxygen that touches
its superheated surface. Besides, it fre-
quently sucks into the apartments of the
residents‘some foul air, such as accumulates
in every cellar, and nearly always robs its
victims, through the lungs which breathe
it in; of more life than can be restored by
generous food and good physical care. The
late Senator Sumner had some fine pictures
painted upon wooden panels destroyed by
the dry heat ‘of his furnace. If air can be so
dry as to suck from wood the little moisture
that is in it, what hope is there‘forhnman
lungs? These demons of the lower regions
of the household should receive closer at-
tention then they do. Some of them can
be reformed by the use of considerable care
and water, but many of them should be ex-
ercised—that is, destroyed, kicked out. The
price of a new furnace, or even the cost of
expert counsel ‘on the proper way of warm-
ing a house, is not cemparable with the ag-
gregate of the doctor’s hills which every year
follow the lighting of fires in the basements.

A Short Study for Boys._
The life of Charles O‘Conor, the eminent
lawyer, shows what diligence and persever
ance will accomplish.
When eight years old he was an office boy
and a newspaper carrier. His father pub-
lished a weekly newspaper, and Charles,
besides attending in the office, delivered the
journal to subscribers in New York, Brook-
lyn and Jersey City. He used a skifi to
cross the rivers, and frequently would be out
all Saturday night serving "his route. It is said
that he nevermissed a subscriber.
When seventeen years old, he entereda
lawyer‘s office as an errand boy. He borrow-
ed Iaw. books, took them home and read
them by the light of a candle far into the
night.' Several lawyers noticing the days
industry, aided him in his studies.
- When he was twenty-four years old he
was admitted to the but, and even. then it
was said that young O‘Conor’s legal opinion
was worth more than that of many other
lawyers.
But success comes slowly to a young law-
yer, and it was not 'until his thirtieth year
that clients recognized the legal learning and
skill of young O’Conor. He was very poor
but industry and ability were his capital.
He worked hard at all the smallest cases,
never slighting any trust, and in time se-
cured the reputation of a man who would do
his best for those employing him. To this
conscientiousness and industry he owed his
success. .
A Warning to Claimants.
On the first day of 1879 a new real property.
limitation act will come into operation in
England and Wales, which may seiiously in-
terfere with the rights of persons in the Uni-
ted Statcs,who have claims to property across
the water. By a clause in this statute, it is
enacted that: “After the commencement of”
this act, no person shall make an entry or
distress, or bring an action or suit to recover
any land or rent, but within twelve years
next after the time at which the right to
~make such entry or distress, or to bring such
action or suit, shall have first accrued to
some person through whom he claims; or
if such right shall not have accrued to any
person through whom he claims, then
within twelve years next after the time at
which the right to make such entry or dis-
tress, or t9 bring such. action or suit, shall
have first accrued to the person making or
bringing the same.” The result will be that
all persons who on next New Year’s day shall
have been in uninterrupteddadverse possession
of any land for twelve years without payment
of rent, or other acknowledgment of title to
any person, will have acquired a possessory
title to such land; and no action would lie
to eject them. This, which creates property
rights for squatters, would totally extinguish
many just claims to real estate in England and
Wales, to enforce which legal proceedings
were not begun withinthe last twelve years.
Citizens of and foreign residents in the Uni-
ted States have many such claims, some of
them to a large amount.——l’oat.
From the New Haven Journal:
Lost in the Arctic Seas.
Capt. Roach, master of Messrs. C. A Wil-
liams 8.7 Co’s whaling schooner Helen F., of
New London, wrecked in October, 1876, in
the Arctic seas, has arrived in that city; He
reports that the _ Helen F. as in Winter
quarters at Cumberland'inlet when beset by
A heavy
gale sprung up, and the ice, in'great masses
crowding the vessel, drove her out«to sea.
Efforts made to work her bnck failed, and
after two days of toil, an attempt was made
to reach either. Hannibal’s Harbor 'or
Brown’s Harbor. These efforts also failed,
and the vessell was, as -a list resource,
beached on a small island; No lives were
lost in the perilous operation, and the ves-
sel was stripped and thcvprovisions landed.
This latter task was but just accomplished
when the south-west wind started the crack-
ling grinding ice blocks. in a near fiord
toward the isle, and they came on in great
resistl‘ess heaps, and crowding and pushing
up and over the schooner’s sides buried
her from sight, and left only her mastheads
visible. Full 40 feet above her decks and
on all sides of her it lay in shining trans-
parent piles, imprisoning her as securely as
_ though she was fastened in the bowles of the
earth. It was not until Dec. 6 that he,
officers and crew could make their way to
the station in Penne’s Harbor where were
better shelter and a plentitude of provision’s,
and , on that day they left the schooner.
When Spring came she sank in three fathom
of water close by the land that all the Winter
long had held her fast. From' the station
at Penn’s Harbor the crew of the Helen
fished with fair success until the 10th of
July, when the Scotch brig Perseverance
hove in sight and took them off. On the
28th she put out to sea, and after a pleasant
voyage of 29 days’ duration she came into
Petcrhead, ' Scotland. Thence her crew
went too Liverpool by way of Aberdeen.
From Liverpool Capt. Roach and his first
mate came to New York.
Eva, a twelve year old daughter of J. E.
Bishop of Fall River, Mass" was probably
fatally burned this morning pouring kerosene
upon a’firc which she was kindling, causing
the can to explode. Two other children
were burned, though not so'seriously.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
At half-past ten o’clock, Tuesday, the Re-
publican State Conventien was called to or-
der in Allyn Hall, Hartford. Colonel H.
W. R. Hoyt of Greenwich, temporary chair-
man.
Upon taking the chair Colonel Hoyt made
astirring speech for honest money, as fol-
lows: _
Gentlemen of the Conventzbn:
I thank you'for the boner I have received
The republican party
in this campaign is_ confronted with graver
issues and :more serious responsibilities-
than any that have arisen for the past seven-
teen years. Thc question that overshadows
all others is the question of finance, and
to the action that this convention will take
to-day the people not only :of this state
but of the entire eountry are looking
as an indiCation of future safety or future
peril. The democratic party has again fal-
tered, as it always falters in times"ofmation-
a1 danger, and has proved itself unequal to
the duties of the hour. It has abandoned all
"ust claims to the confidence of the country.
thas yielded to the demands of those who
desire to perpetuate and increas a fluctuating
and irredeemable paper currency, with all
its attendant evils. Since 1861 no greater
disaster has threatened the business and‘in-
dustries of the Union than that which now
looms up before us. But asthe party of
which you are the representatives—that party
which has never yet proved false to principle
—then stood firmly by the nation’s honor
and the: nation’s life, so now it will oppose
the folly and delusion of the hour and will
stand fast for honest money and an untar-
hished national credit. By its past record
and convictions, by its past acts and declar-
ations, it is committed to a resumption of
specie payments on the 15!: day of January,
1879. -It believes in a currency that at all
times and in all places shall be convertable
into gold at 100 cents to the dollar. It be-
lieves in a financial system under which
honest labor shall receive honest pay in hon-
est money. I bclievc that you will take no
backward step to-day, but will" put forth a
declaration 'of principles that will ring out
to the country like the blast of a bugle, and
will restore confidence and trust. We want
rest. .We have been tossed too long upon
the fluctuating and uncertain waves, and
now that solid land has been so nearly reach-
party to an equality with gold; It will not
abandon the republican party has brought its
promises issued under the pressure of dire
necessity, at a great exigency of the national
life, almost its purpose but will stand like
break-water against inflation and repudiation.
The republican party can afford to be beaten
in this campaign, if beaten it must be, but
it can never afford to lower its standard.

AN HONEST MONEY PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions then report-
ed as follows:
The republicans of Connecticut in conven-
tion assembled, resolve:
First—That the existing dangers to the
.temporary clamor, but
public credit, industry and commerce, call
upon us to pledge anew our constancy to
the great principles of patriotism and self-
sacrifice which have successfully carried the
country through the perils of a cat war,
and preserved and established the nion.
Second—That the bonds of the United
States and the legal tender notes issued
under the necessities of the war are sacred
debts, to be paid to the last dollar in the
standard money of the world {that the only
money recognized in the constitution or in
the exchange of the world is gold and silver
coin of the weight and fineness which give
it universal currency, and we demand that
all currency shall be redeemable in coin at
the will of the holder, and that both coin
and currency shall be kept at par with' the
gold standard of the world. _
Third—That the issue of. legal-tender notes
was only justified by the necessities of the
war, and that any attempt to lower the
standard of money, to increace the volume
of irrcdeemable paper currency, to make
the coin, of the people'unsutable, or to deter-
taste the coin, is simply repudation; and that
we declare that areissue of legal-tender paper
'in a time of profound peace would be with-.
out excuse and a gross violation of the con-
stitution of the United States, and therefore
we demand actual resumption of specie
payments at the time fixed by law, and that
congress shall do no act to 'delay it but
to tamper with the vital interests of the
cauntry, or consent to national dishonor. I
know of but one rule of action that should
govern political parties as well as individuals.
and that is to do right. The country is
sound at heart. It may be led away by
its sober, second
thought is always safe, and if you will be
steadfast to your past record the republican
party will again in this campaign or inthe
next achieve a victory for the Union that
shall usher in the days of lasting peace, honor
and prosperity. I await the pleasure of the
convention. ‘

A motion was made to take an informal
ballot for governor and it prevailed. '
Colonel Hoyt moved a reconsideration , so
as to nominate Henry C. Robinson by accla-
mation. ‘
This announcement was received with long
and continued applause.
Judge Gilman of Hartford, rose and said
that before the motion was put he wished to
say that he had a letter from Mr. Robinson
which he wished to read, and the judge read
the letter as follows :
George G. Gilman, Esq.,
Dear Sir :--In the event that my name
should be suggested in the convention to.mor-'
row for rcnomination as a candidate for gov-
ernor, I beg you to say I must positively de-
cline the honor. I shall ever cherish feelings
of deep' gratitude for the, cordial support
which the party has heretofore honored me
with and for the very many kind words and
actions which I met as a candidate. Hoping
that the convention will be guided to wisdom
and believing that the success of .the party
is” more probable than it has been for several
years, and also that the hope of the country
is in republican success.
. am, very truly yours,
HENRY C. Ronnvsort.
The motion to proceed to an informal bal
1at was renewed and prevailed. '
Alexander Harbison of Hartford, named
Hon. Charles B. Andrews of Litchfield, who
was the leader of the house of representatives
last year. [Applause .]
Francis II. Parker of East Haddam and
others seconded the nomination. S. A. Hub-
bard of Hartford endorsed Mr. Andrews very
strongly.
The mgtion for an informal ballot was
withdrawn, and Mr. Hal-bison made a motion
to make the nomination by acclamation_
The motion prevailed and Mr. Andrews
was declared the nominee of the convention
amid applause. There was only one dissent-
ing voice. .
E. J: Wright of Greenwich dominated
Hon. David Gallup of Plainfield, for heat.
enant governor.
He was warmly endorsed and was declared
nominated by acclamatiou amid applause.
There were no other candidates for the posi-
tion. ‘
Colonel I-ont presented the name, in be-
half of the Fairfield county caucus, of John
D. Candee, editor of the Bridgeport Standard
for secretary of state. He was the owner of
shall leave the country free in its reviving
prosperity.
Fourth—That the interests of capital and
are so hnked together that all action hostile
till one must be injurious to the other, and we
condemn all attempts to array one against
the other and to establish cnimites and
prejudices between employer and the em-
ployed.
Fifth—That we demand the most rigid
economy, not only from the state and na-
tional governments, bllt from all lesser com-
munities. .
Sixth—We condemn as unworthy of an
enlightened people, a niggardly appropria-
tion of the public money for the just and
proper expenses of the government, espcc-‘
lally in dealing with the army and its odlccrs
whose life-long services are devoted to the
defense of the country from foreign foes,
Indian dcpredations and domestic insurrec-
ions.
Se'venth.-—That we demand full protection
for all citizens in every part of the United
States in the free exercise of civil and po—
htlcal rights; that we. insist that there shall
be no subsidies, grants or loans of money or
money or lands to private corporations, no
payments directly or indirectly of what are
called rebel claims, and that the legitimate
expenses of the government shall be met b
adequate appropriations. ‘
EightTThat we believe in the integrity
and pntrlotism of President Hayes, and e
Will give him our cordial support in allfis
constitutional efforts to secure an honest
and efllcient public Service, and to maintain
the financial honor of the nation.
Ninth—That the title of President Hayes
having been settled by a commission of both
political parties, acting in the best interests
of the country, we charge that the' attacks
of the democratic party upon him and their
attempt to reopen the question of his title
are seditious and dangerous to the public
peace and prosperity, and have for their ob-
ject not the welfare of the whole country but
the advancement of a faction.
Tenth—We commend to the voters of
Connecticut the nominees of this convention
believing that their high character is a suf-
ficient guarantee that they will do what is
within their power to carry out and enforce
the principles herein declared. '
The platform was adopted unanimously.
The‘ convention then adjourned at about
three o'clock. f

essary or possible in the platform of the Con-
necticut republicans. They not only démand
that our “currency shall be redeemable in
coin at the will of the holder,” and “that coin
and currency shall be kept at par with the
‘ gold standard of the world,” but they declare
that the bonds and legal-tender notes are
“sacred debts, to be paid to the last dollar in
the standard money of the word; ” they do-
nouuce as “simply repudiation” a le-issuc of
legal-tender paper in time of profound peace;‘
and they make these declarations as a renew-i
ed pledge of their “ constancy to the great
principles of patriotism and self-sacrifice
which successfully carried the country
through the perils of a great war and preserv-
ed and established the Union.” This is a
position more advanced than any yet taken
by a republican convention, and it is a per-
fectly sound one, which a great party, look-
ing both to the future and to the present can
afford and ought to take. We commend .it
to the attention 31nd imitation of the republi-
cans of New York. .
(New York Herald.)
The republicans of Connecticut at their
state congcntion, yesterday, wheeled into the
political line on the hardest of hard money
platforms. . .
(New York Tribune.)
There was no desire in any quarter to have
anything like shuffling or evasion, .and, ac-
cordingly, the platform is an honest piece of
work, with no pulp or knot holes, or worm-
eaten timbers anywhere. Inasmuch as the
Hon. Helix-y C. Robinson persisted in his dc.
clination,the ticket placed in the field two
years ago was not renominated. A good
working ticket, with the Hon. Charles B. '
Andrews, an experienced legislator and saga-
cious lawyer, at Its head; was placed in the
field. ‘ . '
(Providence J carnal.)
The republican state convention of Con-
necticut has unanimously and heartily adopt-
led a platform which is characterized by clear-
... l
NOR-WALK, CONNECTICUT,TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1,
ness, fullness, boldness and the highest integ-
rity. The statesmanship of the Connecticut
republicans is couched in the terscst and most
unmistakable language. Knowing what they
intended, they said it in words which the
most stupid can understand, and from which
the most adrofcan draw no ambiguous ex-
egesis. The contrast between the resolutions
of the republicans and those of the democrat-
ic convention is as marked as it is honorable
to the former. The democrats halted, hedg-
ed, let, “I dare not wait upon I would.” But
the declarations of thegcpu'blic‘an convention
are straightforward, distinct, ample, and ad-
dressed to the genuine heart and the intellect
of the hardy and educated sons of the com-
monwealth. ‘
_ (Boston Journa'.) _
The party'in that state has generally been
regarded as sor‘newhat- more conservatively.
inclined than elsewhere in New England.
But the spirit of this convention was as bold
and intrepid, and as clearly responsive to the
practical demands of the hour, as the most
ardent and advanced republican could desire.
(Philadelphia Times; ind.)
The Connecticut republicans deserve the
credit of standilig perfectly-erect while so
many republicans as well as ; democrats are
swaying like the reed and p'rostrating them-
selves in the dust before the greenback whirl-
wind. '
(Philadelphia Press.)
The republicans of Connecticut have set a
light before the feet of the republicans of the
Empire state.
(Worcester Spy.)
The convention did itself and the state
most honor by its platform, which was the
most emphatic, the most studiously and dc-
fiantly aggressive declaration in favor of hon-
est money that. has been adopted by any con-
vention. It. is not sounder in substance than
that of the Massachusetts republicans, and
perhaps not so elegantly phrased, but for pug-
nacious hostility to every form of financial
unsoundncss, what could be better? . _
._._.————
Skulking. _
It looks ‘as if the democrats of Connecti-
cut were expecting to evade the fate of their
brethren in Maine by a policy of cringing
and deceit; It went hard with the hard-
money leaders to accept the ticket with an
avowed greenback on it, and a platform
which is neither fish nor flesh. But they
have accepted the situation‘ without an
open murmur. There is no. protest from
Mr. Eaton, nor from Mr. Ingersoll, there
is an humble acceptnnce of the humilation
by the leading party papers, there is abso-
lute sileucc on the part of the candidate for
governor. . ' . -
Meantime, the’ comedy goes on. Judge
Phelps is nominated for congress, and ap-
proved by the hard-money nevvspapers. Mr.
Landcrs will experience the same good for-
tune. The hard-money leaders would de-
feat his nomination if they could, but as
they cannot, they will humbly endorse him.
In the third ’ district. the democrats unite
with the greenbackers in supporting Charles
W. Carter of Norwich, and it will be strange
if similar action is not- taken in the fourth
district. It is an edifying spectacle. These
same party—organs which ”surrender plat-
forms and candidates to _ the greenbackers
in Connecticut are bold nations in denounc-
ing the capture of the democracy by the
greenbackers of Massachusetts.) The Hart-
ford Tl'mes supports Charles 'Durand for
lieutenant-governor and Judge Phelps for
congress, and it will silpport Mr. Lenders,
and yet it argues daily in‘ its editorial
columns against the greenback heresy. * The
New Haven Register is a little more bold.
It not only supports Judge Phelps, but 'it
insinuates in bated breath that Phelps is
sound on the currency question. It is prob-'
ably perfectly safe in this course, as risky as
it seems. It is not probable that the Register
can cenvince the greenbackers of Connecti-
cut that Phelps is a traitor to his greenback
supporters; they have his record, and they
know their man. The proceeding only adds
to the contempt which the greenbackers of
that district openly ‘express for the hard-
money democrats. In time we shall see the
Hartford Times taking up the same yoke in
regard to Mr. Landers. .
The democratic campaign is to be run on
two self-evident propositions :—
First—The Connecticut democracy is for
hard money and it is for soft money.
Second——The democratic candidates for
congress-are at the same time hard money
men and soft money men.
On this line the party is skulking along
under the head of Senator Barnum towards
the senatorship. . We could name some prom-
inent democrats in Hartford who are ashamed
of the situation. ' ’ V
(New Haven Journal and Courier.) .
We never read a: better platform. With-
out verbiage, and in the most explicit terms
it expresses thesentiments ‘which we believe
a large majority of intelligent and patriotic
citizens of whatever party affiliations must
cordially approve. . . . The ticket has
our warm approval. We can, from years of
observation and from personal knowledge,
endorse Charles B. Andrews, of Litchfied, :as
one of :the best men that ever received the
republican nomination. His Very virtues
have hid his fame, but we have faith that be-
fore thecampaign is over Mr. Andrews will
be widely and favorably known throughout
the state. Mr. Gallup is already known to
the voters of Connecticut, and needs no rec-
ommendation from us. Colonel Torrance is
a strong man, and his presence willhelp the
ticket. And Messrs. Baker and Howard are
acceptable candidates for the positions for
which they are named. We repeat that the
personnel of the ticket is exceptionally strong.
And we believe it will poll more votes than
any, other ticket in the-field. We do not an-
ticipate; though we do not desire of, an elec-
tion by the people in the coming campaign,
but we are convinced that the republican
ticket, with Mr. Andrews at its head, will
obtain a pfurality over- either competitor,
and if our friends will work the local cam-
Paigns with energy and discretion, the§legis-
selections of our ticket,
“What You Got Dar?”
An elderly colored- man stopped a small
boy, evidently his son, on Dixwell avenue
this’morning, and referring to a deep bag the
lad carried asked, “What you got‘dar?"
“Nadia,” said the boy. ‘
“Don’t you go fur-tcr lie to me,” answered
the old party, glancing at the boy through
hisspectacles and shaking his cane threaten-
ingly. " ‘
“.Deed I has'nt,” cried the boy, holding.
the bag behind his back. ' .
Theold man reached out and with a “Lam
mc sec dat bag,” grabbed it, and peered into
it. Something was at the bottom, but what
it was he couldn’t he suspiciously eyed the
youth. and then jammed his hand way down
into the bag. Quicker than a fly can dodge
a blow in the t‘dark"hc withdrew his hand ut-
terling at the same time afcarful yell of pain.
Three crabs were fastened with death-like
tenacity to as many fingers, and that they
squeezed some, mom who saw the old party .
caper would for a moment doubt. Finally
the crabs were unhookcd, quiet was restored
and the father returned his son’s solemn look,
and heaved a deep sigh. Then the boy im-
proved the occasion and remarked:
“ Wonder who put dem crabs in dere.
The meeting then adjourned in silence.

Liniments.
Norc than 1,000,000 bottles of the now celebrat-
chcnlaur linimcnu were sold last year.
We‘aascrt without fear of contradiction that no
man, women or child will say that they did not
perform according to the advertisement. We do
not pretend that the Centaur Llnlmcnu will
mend a broken leg or perform impossibllities,
but we do say and mean that these Liniments
will come nearer working miracles than anything
ever before discovered. We have thousands of
certificates showing how remarkable cares of ob-
stinate cases offlheumatism, Neuralgla. Sciatica,
Cakcd Breasts, Poisonous Bitcs.8calds and Burns
Swelled Legs and Stiff Joints. &c., have been ef-
fected by it. The certificates all read one way.
and the sale is constantly'increasiug. We will
send these certificates gratis. Some of them may
be found around each bottle of Linlment. The
' Linlmcnts are quick, they are reliable, they are
safe and they are cheap. Among the ingredients
used are Witch Hazel, Catholic, Naptba, Bock
Oil, Months and Arnica. There is no flesh. bone
or muscle ailment which they will not relieve and
benefit. The White Contour Lint—cm is
for the human frame; while the Yellow lini-
mcut ls adapted to the tough muscles and fibres
of horses and animals. For stilt Joints, Lame-
ncss, Spavln, Bing—bone. Sweeny. Gallo, Poll-
evil,etc.. the Yellow Centaur Linimcnt is
worth its weight in gold to every farmer, livery-
man. teamster and owner of animals. A single
bottle has put a disabled horse in the harnessmnd
a few bottles have rendered a useless spavincd
horse worth two hundred dollars. There is no
mistake about thgsc Liniments. They are simply
wonderful, and they are naturally finding their
way into the uttermost: parts of the earth. No
family should be without them . They are handy
as well as certain.

J ack’s Letter-
Dcal- Auntie, did‘you ever have
A little baby'brother?
I've got 'one, and Idon’t think
I’ll ever want another.
He is not blgenough to slide,
Or play withhocp and ball I
And mother'has to tend him so
She cannot play at all.
It’s always “Hush ?" and “Jack, be still,
The baby is asleep!" ‘
And everybody in- the house
On tiptoc has to creep.
I wish you’d let. me go and stay
With you and Auntie Jane;
And when the baby has growu up
I could come back again.
I'm almost six years old, you know-—
So tall, they say, I've grown?
And since the baby come I sleep -'
All in the dark, alone. '
I’d be so good, dear Auntie Jane,
And never answer back ;
Oh, won’t you write and ask mamma
To let you take your J ink.
P. S.—I left this letter on the desk,
And mamma read it through;
And then she looked so very sad
I cried, and kissed her too.
' “And so my boy would go away,
And leave his darling mother,
And cares for nothing but his play,
Nor loves his’little brother.
“And”—but I can’t tell all she said;
Only it meant, I know, '
That I could help her when she’s tired
‘And that she’d miss me so.
I don’t thin' I can go, Aunt Kate
But mamma says I may
Hold baby every day an hour, '
And that's as good as play.
Eplccde.

Life may give for love to death
Little; what arelifc gifts worth
To the dead wrapt round with earth;
Yet from the lips of livingbrecth ' '
Signs or words we are fain to give,
All that yet, while yet we live,
Life may give for love todeatll.
Dead so long before his day,
Passed out of the Italian sun
To the dark where all is done,
Fallen upon the verge of May,
Here at Life’s and April’s end
How should song salute my friend
Dead so long before this day?
Not a kindler life or sweeter
. Time, that lights and quenches men,
N ow may quench or light again,
Mingling with the mystic metre -
Woven of all men’s lives with his
Notaclearer note than this, .'
Not a kindlier life or sweeter.
In this heavenliest part of earth
He that living loved the light,
Light and song, may rest aright,
One in death, if strange in birth,
With the deathless dead that make
Life the ld'velier for their sake
In this heavliest part of earth.
Light, andsong, and sleep at last——
Struggling hands and suppliant knees
Get no goodlier gift than these,
Song that holds remembrance fast,
Light that lightens death, attend
Round their graves whohave to friend
~ Light and song, and sleep at last.

0m- Dead.
Our dead are not all laid beneath the sod.
Near which there comes no sound of care-
less mirth.
Haply, we stumble o’er theminthe field—
Unburried corpse that make tom the earth.
'Ghosts of spent. passions mock us in their
shrouds; -
We turned them homeless out into the
' snow, . -
And locked the doors against them, ‘ ‘ '
Well, they’re dead I ‘
III in the streets, like vagrants, long ago.
Deud loves—nay, friend, I pause and smile
at this? ‘
I know that dead like these are heldso
light, .
That were they lying in the Morgue on view,
We would not stop to claim them if we
might.
Dead hatreds that will injure no mm more; '
Dead love for friends whom time has since
proved frail. ‘ * *
Sweet wrath, with sea-gray eyes and yearn
‘ ing face,
Thou' once did’st smile—why art thou
changed and pale ?
Pass on, then, train of spectr enthrofthciml
I have outlived ye all, so leave nié'ltere—
Careless alike of Earth, . or Heaven, c: Hell;
Thankful if hunger’s not my p'rerent tear.
Only a Boy.
The natural history. of a boy is an in
terestiug study. It is hind for theoldfolkl
to look at things from his standipointr, be- -
cause their memories are short. However
he will grow _old soon enough, and the era
of mud pies and marbles will fade only too
quickly. .
Only a boy, with his noise and fun.
The veriest mystery under the sun,
As brim full of mischief and wit and also
As ever a human franc could be,
'And as hard to manager-All I Ah I me I
”I‘ll; hard to tell,
Yet we love him well.
We can’t see why it should be- fun for
him to put a bit of orange peel on the
sidewalk and then watch until the unwary
traveler lies on his back, apluttering all the
oaths which the living and dead language
affords, or to tie a string from the door to
the Iamppost just opposite, high enough to
knock ofi everybody’s but who hurries
along, or to slip out the tailde of a lemon
cart audvthen start,the horse on (a run,
while the dismayed vendor gushes his
teeth and expresses the wish that the cholera
would come. quickly and make short work
of all the little rascals. No, we can't see
the spot in all that; but twenty years ago
we did. We can’t remember that we ever
stopped the chimney up and filled, the house
with smoke, or put particles of gunpowder
in the middle of the old gentleman's cigar,
and then watched for the explosion, looking
so meek and absorbed in our geography
lesson that the victim of our mischief
thought there must be a mistake somewhere.
and that if he thrashed us he woulddojn-
justice to an innocent student. Well, that
is probably what we did, neverthelen, and-
that is just what other boysare doing now-
days: .
Only a boy. who will be a man
It nature goes on with her first great plau-
ll water, or the, or some fatal anus
Conspire not to rob us oi_our heir,
Our blessing, our tionble,_our rest‘, our care.
Our turmoil-t. our Joy,
“Only a boy.”
When you- see a strong “flat money'finan,
you see a man who used to have money but,
