the citizens of Norwalk would allow the in-

taking, to occupy a larger space among their
thoughts as to their daily duties, it .would be
more beneficial to them and mostccrtainly
would it be more so to their young men who
would have no objections, I think, to pleas-
antly pass some of those cold, dreary and
wintry evenings in a nice room where they
could have a free access to many books, and
not only would this benefit he received by
thcm,but also such as arises from friendly 1n-
tcrco‘urse in society,which of necessity would
arise. You can argue this way and that but
unless this interest, that I have tried, to make
explicit, is exhibited by all our citizens and
not merely the young men, there will be no
headway made towards this accomplishment
or any other. Let us all agree as to its effi-
ciency, and each exercise his individual skill,
and we can make the great machine move
without much trouble. Who will say “aye."

’Ridgefield.
*
An event of more than usual interest to the
lc°sidents and sons 'of Ridgefield. has been
the appearance of Rev. D. W. Teller's His-
tory of Ridgefield.
Mr. Teller’s position as pastor of the Con-
gregational Church, and his interest in the
affairs of the town as a citizen, has won for
him a warm place in the hearts of the people,
so that the promise ofa history of the town
from his pen created, ’a' double interest
divided between meaumor and his work.
That he too appreciates and reciprocates
this kindly feeling of his townsmen, we have
only to read his dedicatory sentence, and the
very touching and exceedingly graceful .in-
froduction with which he sends his work.
forth» to its readers. - ~
The typographical appearance of the book
is uncommonly neat and tasty. It is illus-
trated witheigbtcen finely executed engrav-
. ings, of the more prominent residences and
public buildings. Sixteen chapters of well
defined, .d well arranged matter, taking
the history of'thc town from its suryey and
settlement in 1708, to the present time
Without going too minutely into details. the
author has seized the more salient points in
the towns history, and bringing them out
into othe broad sunlight of plain fact, has'
succeeded in placing them in such. a posi-
tion that his readefiscanpot faillto'r‘eceive a
concise and intelligent idea of its . course of
‘ events. Throwing outijrfiany of .the senti-
mental and mime-:1! mammals. and
most of our local histories abound, (the same
ones often doing outy'ionseveral' lncalitieg),
the authorhas of course,- vdeprived himself
of much {material necessary to make a"“big~
book.” Discln‘di‘ng much anoient'rubbish,
the compiler has struck the happy. mien of a

later, in 1853, his son SIG. Goodrich Esq.,
world-wide known as “Peter Parley," in a
racy and bristling letter to his brother, pic-

—as it -is well worthy—a place. Being
written by an observer of no small experience,
and by controvsrse with certain periods,
the picture is vivid and truthful. The
record of the town during the late war, and
a sketch of its present condition. An
appendix with many interesting lists of
public officers closes the work. In laying
down the book after a careful perusal, we
,feel like congratulating the sons and daugh.

the satisfactory appearance of its history,

The Republican Congressional Convention
for the Fourth District, in... held in Franklin
H311. Wednesday, Before the convention
was called to order, the Fairfield and Litch-
field county delegates held a confertncc in
the hall. At this conference the .Litchfield
county delegation decided to present the
name of the Hon. Frederick Miles, of Salis-
bury, to the convention. The delegation
from F: irfield county discussed: the subject
at some 1engtb,,and finally a ballot was taken
which resulted as follows: Frederick Miles,

The convention was called to order at a
little before 11 o'clock by John D. Caudec,
of Bridgeport, chairman of the District
Committee, and F. St. John Lockwood, of
Norwalk, was 'cboseu temporay chairman,
rind E. .J. Hill of Norwalk, and George 13.
North of Thomaston, secretaries. On mo
tion, the temporary Organization was made
permanent".
A delegate moved that the convention pro-,
ceedtotake an informal ballot. J. Belden
Hurlbutt, of Wilton, proposed that Hon.
Frederick Miles; of Salisbury, be nominated
as the candidate from the Fourth District
by acclamation. He advocated the claims of
:Mr. Milesatgsomc "length, praising his char-
acter highly, and stating that he had carried
his district in' the face of a heavy democratic
majority. Albert P. Bradstreet, of Thomas-
'ton, seconded the nomination, and made an
eloquent speech in favor of Mr. Miles. The
name of Mr. Miles was received with loud
applause, and on the motion being tried by
the chairman there was not adisscnting voice
and Mr. Miles was declared the unanimous
choice of the convention. -
The following District Committee was cho-
sen, one from each Senatorial District: 10th,
John’D' Candee of Bridgeport; flth, Sam'l
Tweedy of Danbury; 12th,-Samuel,i_Fessen-

_ The committee on resolutions reported the
following, which were adopted :

form adopted by the Republican State Con-
vention and the nominations made by said

set forth in said platform, we invite the, carn-

Hon. Frederick Miles.
_ The Fourth District Republican Congres-
sional convention nominated Hon; Frederick
Miles, of Salisbury, for Congress, by accla-
mation, and no better nomination could have
been made. Mr. Miles is a large Inan’ul’acJ~
tutor in Salisbury andhas been knownjas an
honorable and successful business man for
many years. His personal popularity was
proved when he was elected to the State
Senate in a district containing a very heavy
Democratic majority. He did not desire this
nomination, but he yielded his own prefer.
cnccs to the urgent solicitations of numerous
Republicans in both counties. If elected he
will do his whole duty to his constituents,
and of his election there is a better chance
than anyRepublican has had for many years.
The Greenback. ticket will draw off some
Democratic votes. There is said to be con-
siderable dissatisfaction with the Democratic
nomination, while there is entire harmony
among the Republicans, and moreover the
Republicans seem to be gaining strength all
over the country at,the present time, and
generally we maysay there are good indica-
tions of success in this district if the Repub,
lican will go to work and do their whole
duty. ~Bridgeport Standard.
The Fourth Congressional Dls—
trict.
The republicans of the Fourth Congres-
sional district have done precisely the right
thing in nominating Hon. Frederick Miles of
Salisbury for congressman. Mr. Miles's
popularity in Litchfied county was shown
last year by the ease with which he was
elected to the state senate from one of the
strongest democratic districts. He is exten-
sivcly- known and universally respected for
his sterling integrity, his great good sense
and his genial nature. He does not profess
to be a fluent speaker, but in this respect he
is not thcvinferior of .his democratic orgr'een-
back opponents, and the district has not been
represented by an orator since the days of
the cloquentan‘d lamented Ferry. ,‘But'. Mr.
Miles is an 'undcfatigablc worker, and .will
make a useful representative who 'will be of
great servidc i‘n‘the} committeeroom and
whose opinions ‘qu always have weight
Moreover, he also staunch hardLmoyney 'man
whose vote"will always be, found unhesita-
tingly on the light side. There will be no
occasion for him to explain how he happened
to vote on both sides or to dodge, for he has
convictions and is not afraid to stand by
them. Mr. Bruggerhof, the democratic can-
didate, is a respectable New York seed me I'-
chant who spends his nights and Sundays in
this state, but whose business interests are
outside the state. He is not known except
in the western corner of Fairficld County,
and certainly has no special qualifications for
‘the position of congressman: Mr. Miles on
the other hand, is extensively interested in
Connecticut industries and well informed as
to their necessities, and we believe he will b
bloated—Hartford C'mwant. ‘
; Mr. Abram S. Hewitt says that he knows
nothing about the cipher dispatches. When
questioned as to whether Mr' Tilden would
be renominated by the Democrats Mr. Hew-
itt said that that question involved another
which was whether there would be any
Democratic party in existance at the time
of the next Presidential election. He is
apprehensive that the Greenback craze will
swallow the larger portion of the party and
leave so little of .it behind that it will not
constitute a party at all. He made some
very sensible remarks about the new party
among which were the following:
He said he had no knowledge of the
greenback party further than that he got
from the newspapers, but believed that it
represented rather the spirit of discontent
with the present state of things than any
particular economic or politicalviews. The
greenback party has no experienced leaders,
and therefore he thought would disintegrate
after the present election. The duty of the
hour is a very critical one so far as the financial
question is concerned No compromise should
be made by which the right of the govern-
ment to establish any other currency than
gold or silver under the constitution shall be
admitted. “I am not only opposed entirely
to the whole greenback doctrine, but to
the compromise suggested by Senotor Thur-
man. I think that at the earliest possible
moment the government should divorce
Itself from the use of paper money in any
shape or .form." ‘ _ -
A good many people are puzzled when
asked the reason why thc'President's resi-
dence is called the “White House.” The
orlgrn of the name is as follows: When the
British In 1814 took'Washington, they de-
stroyed the pubtic buildings, including the
President’s mansion, which, like the Ca itol,
was'bullt of grayish sand-stone. The urn-
ing of the wood-work smoked and discolored
the stone walls, the natural appearance of
which could not be restored, Uniformity
was secured by the application of white paint.
The changed appearance from gray to white
attracted attention and ve it the appellao
tion of the “White case,” which it has
since borne.

fortune. The emeralds attracted Costellani's
practical eye, and while he was pointing out
their special beauties be told me a story to
illustrate the great difficulty nowadays experi-
enced by jewelers in distinguishing between
true and false. It appears that at one time in
the reign of Napoleon III, he was severely
pressed for money, and so it was determined
that the emeralds, each one worth a fortune,
in one of Eugenie's necklaces should be sold,
and false ones should be put in their places.
The imperial treasury w‘hs charged with this
delicate task, and succeeded in doing it."
After Eugenie's fall from power .an English
jeweler purchased the necklace which the
dethroned empress had left behind her, and
had it not been for his curiosity to discover
haw much the emeralds were really. worth——
a curiosity which led him to_ unset one and
test it—he never would have known that
the stones were false. When he found that
they were not genuine he demanded an
explanation, and the whole matter came out.
Emeralds abound in the display of crown
jewels in the main corridor of the Champs de
Mars palace on the side next the Seine. With-
in the railing around the priceless colllection
sits a sharp-faced man, who is probably one
of the sharpest detectives in France; and in-
side the second railing stand four policemen.
There is no danger that any one will have a
chance to put his or her hand through the
glass and grasp a handful of Koh—i~noors.
The police are too quick for that. Even the
wandering pickpocket has no chance. Just
as he fancies himself safe, he is touched on
the shoulder by'some quiet-faced man, who
invites him to accompany him to a neighbor-
ing “station." Sometimes, when the pick-
pocket has done nothing besides wander in-
nocently about, he is arrested, and, when
discharged, is informed that he must leave
the country at once—Paris Letter to the
Boston Journal. ' "
A Paradise of Cheap Money.
It will be remembered that afcw years
ago, when Gen. Grant's administration was
cndeavoring to annex San Domingo to this
make an examination of the. country- by
authority of Congress. This commission
called at the republic of Hayti while absent;
and General Boynton, who accompanied the
party, describes in a letter to the Cincinnati
Gautte the happy cendition of a land which
at that time was revelling in abundance of
paper money, having probably more currency
per «mile than any other people on the face
of the globe. The members of the party had
carried with them a moderate supply of
greenbacks, with some gold and silver, and
on arriving at Port-au-Prince, they sallied
Ex-Senator B. F. Wade, president of- the
commission, .wanted a broad-bummed hat for
his comfort while under the equatorial ' sun,
and calling at one of the shops selected one
which fitted his head, and putting his hand
in his pocket, asked “How much?” The
shopkeeper replied promptly, but politely,
"One thousand dollars!” Mr. Wade with-
drew his hand from his pocket, took. off the
hat, examined it carefully, and, as it appear-
ed to be nothing better than common straw,
thought he‘ must, have misunderstood the
man, and again inquired the price, getting-
thc same reply. The interpreters were
called in to help make the matter. clear, but
there was no doubt that the price was $1,000.
But it came out after a while that the price
was calculated in what the shopkeeper called
“our 'money." Mr. Wade produced some
grecnbacks, and the shopkeeper selected four
dollars of the American currency as the
equivalent of $1,000 Haytien currency, and
Mr. Wade wore 03 his- hat. Another mem-
ber of the party bought a chip hat held at
$90 for fifty cents, and another a hat held at
$540 for six dollars. Russet apples. brought
from the United States, which had been
peeled and had the decayed spots cutout,
were on sale at twenty dollars each, but ten
cents in silver would secure one. Suits of
clothes of coarse stuffjr'anged from $3,000 to
$10,000. ' .
We desire to call particular attention to the
fact that this money was in all essential
respects just what-the infiationists desire to
introduce. It was cheap; itwas abundant;
it was. legal tender; it was irredeemable; it
was non-exportable. Surely Hayti ought to
have been at thefhlghcst point of felicity and
prosperity. Bot yet f‘the-people were not
happy.”' Wretchcdnegs existed on all sides.
Everybody had, money by the'bushcl, but
the Republic was shaking, With efforts at
rebellion, the chief can... of complaint being
that money had no'-.val:_1_1e.. There had been
issue after issue of. greenbacks, and this
process carried on until every man, .woman
and child could easily secure a supply.
But when it came to buying bread with it,
the situation became serious, and so the
Republic was in a ferment, and insurrection
was threatened. on every hand."—-Boslon
Advertiser. - .
The Rev. Dr. S. I. Prime, the well-known
“Irenteus,” has been studying the question
of intoxication in wine-drinking countries.
As the result of aspecial investigation during
a recent ten months‘ visit to Europe, during
which Dr. Prime visited ”fairs, reviews and
all sorts of out—door entertainments, as well
as an occasional look at the places where
drink is sold, he reports that he saw but one
person drunk. He made it a, daily practice
to read the police reports in the local papers,‘I
and found his personal impressions confirm-
ed, one city of 55,000 inhabitants not reporting
a single arrest for intoxication in forty days.
He therefore feels no hesitation in declaring
his conviction that drunkenness is “far, very
far," from beingso cdmmou in those wine-
drinking countries as in northern Etn'ope and
the United States. Perhaps California, Ohio
and Missouri, aided by the general increase
in the consumption of lager beer; may
yet make the United States a more sober
country.

New Styles in Bonnets.
The New York Tn‘bunc says of a recent
“opening” inthat city :
The third floor of this house is devoted to
wholesale millincry, and yesterday itlhad put
on its gala attire. Hats and bonnets of im- .
ported and home manufacture vied with each
other to attract the attention of fashionably
dressed ladies that thronged the department.
A hat from Madame J osse called the “Huzza,”
isfivery unique; it turns up abruptly and very
rude at the sides, a little more at the left,
making a sharp point, which comes over the
forehead; it. is of gray felt, trimmed with
gray velvet, and two shaded gray ostrich
feathers, held by a cashmere wing. A bonnet
of home manufacture is of black velvet, the
. black raised in two pulls and lined with gar.
net velv'et. An ostrich band, tipped heavily
with oblong garnets, surrounds the crown. A
band of plain ostrich finishes the front.' A
garnet rose, with foliage, is placed between
the puffsin the back; double strings of black
and garnet satin ribbon. A Mary Queen of
Scots bonnet is of black velvet,trimmed with
gold-colored ostrich tips; a band of black
satin ribbon surrounds the crown, caught at
intervals with jet and gold buckles; strings
of wide black satin ribbon. A royal uncut
garnet velvet bonnet is trimmed with ceil-
blue satin ribbon and Ostrich tips. The little
cape atthe back is headed with a band of
garnet velvet leaves; inside trimming a puff
of cell blue satin. A black velvet bonnet,
resembling in shape the cottage bonnet, but
somewhat, larger, is edged all around with a
gold cord, and trimmed simply with black
ostrich tips caught with a crawling lizard ;
the double strings of black K Eiflbbons
are fastened at the sides wit' _, V
of gray felt rolling on their: :31 e, 'is trim-
med with gray velvct and gray ostrich tips,
the front faced all around with cashmere

nets shown. The front is trimmed with-four

Those who negl-
the Memphis Avalanche: The sorrows of the
epidemic were never pictured in more dis-
tresSing scenes than were witnessed last
Sunday at Elmwodd. Six friends of the
late El Worsham had followed his
remains to the “city of the dead,” for the
purpose of paying the last sad tribute to their
dearly beloved companion. '
On arriving at the. cemetery they found
Rev. Dr. White of Calvary church, who,
with his aged wife and a faithful colored
servant, were the only mourners at the fun-
eral of the minister’s son, Eugene D. White,
who had died the day previous. 011 learn-
ing that the remains of “poor Ned" were .
about to be consigned to the grave, Dr.
White, who is also a Mason, asked the priv-
ilege of reading his burial service. ,The re-
quest was readily granted, and the revered
minister, in words most feelingly rendered,
amid tears and sobs that almost choked their
utterance. eulogizcd the character of, the dc.-
ceascd., ‘ ' .
As the sod was falling upon the coffin of
the departed, Dr. White was approached by
a gentleman well known in this; community,
who asked of him the favor to read the ser-
vice over his dead wrfe. Hc was‘the only
mourner, and washeart broken over his sad
loss. The kind old man willingly consented,
but first asked that he might consign to the
grave his son. The mourners of Ed Worsham
acted as pail bears to Eugene D. White, and
with uncovered heads listened with, aching
hearts to the father as he read the service
over his dead son.
This painful scene had hardly ended when
Mr. Ed Beasley approached and said he
would take it as an especial favor if Dr.
White would read the funeral service over
the remains of the late William Willis, whom
a. few friends had just brought to consign to
their last resting place. - .
, Thus it was that the good old man, whose
venerable appearance is in keeping with
his age, performed the duties of his
calling within the short period of half an
hour to four departed souls that are. now at
_,rest.
'————\_A
The Whitehall Times didn't half finish
that story about the trout in a gentleman’s
trout pond saving the life of a little girl who
was accustomed to feed them, and who had
accidentally fallen into a pond, by forming
themselves into a solid body and supporting
uer in the water. We have later advice
about it. The trout not only raised her to
the surface, but they floated her ashore, after
which they took her on their shoulders and
carried her up to the hotlse. over half a‘mile,
across lots, being compelled to .take down
several fences in order to do'it. When the
father of the little girl came to the door in
answer to the bell (iung by one of the trout),
he discovered a lot of trout rolling the child
on an old salt barrel to get the water out of
her. When she was finally resuscitatcd the
trout united in giving three cheers, and de-
clining to step into the house and take
suthin’, they trotted back to the pond. Why
don’t you finish a story when you begin-it.
