WASHINGTON, D. 0., August 9, 1879.
DEAR GAzaTTu :—
Having left Norwalk last month with pleas-L
ant recollections of our last night's‘ stay at;
Smith’s Island Light with keeper Fred. Com-g
stock, the thermometer there marking 92?, ,
we reached this scorching place, finding the '
thermometer running into the hundreds, Nd ,
the city almost deserted. ‘After sweltering;
for sometime and trying all kinds of experi-
ments to keep cool, we were rewarded by the
return of Gen. Myers, our “Old Probabilities,”
who has since regulated the’weather, the ther-
mometer having fallen from the hundreds
into the sixties, plainly indicating that after
his pleasant Europeandripfllejeould not stand
the terrible heat. .
Quite a funny affair occurred at the Capitol
last week. It seems that the democrats had
established their headquarters in the House
folding room, and were standing their came
paign speeches out by the car load to Ohio.
Thiscoming to the knowledge of Mr. Hub-
ble, he, as a member of Congress, demurred
thereto, filless the republican committee
could enjoy the same privilege. A compro—
mise of this nature was the result, and the
republican and democratic documents were
alike folded and mailed under the auspicesof
a democratic doorkeeper and his democratic
assistants. All went well until word was re-
ceived from Ohio .asking “what in h—l they
meant by sending republican thunder ?”
This led to an investigation. Democltic
mail bags, &c., were ransacked, when “10
and behold" they were found to‘be full of re-
publican “bloody shirt” speechesaudall under
Democratic frank ! Who played this con-,
temptible trick, on’ our innocent friéuds‘has,
not, as yet, been reported, "but ' it ”was prob-_
ably done by the poor democratic folders and;
mailers who took the speeches-item the wrong.
pile, while befuddled with democratic 'whis-
key. _ _ - .
REPUBLICAN STATE ASSOCIATION.
It was stated here that the State Republi-
can Associations are now free to organize for
efficient action, the Presidential bane hereto-
fore rcsting upon them having been removed.
But at one of the late cabinet meetings this
question was discussed—the President and
cabinet being inclined to adhere to their for—
mer order prohibiting their organization.
BUREAU or uNsnAvINo AND PRINTING.
Mr. Edward McPherson, political editor of
the Philadelphia Press, has published an open
letter to Mr.'John M. Glover, late chairman of
the House Committee of Expenditures in the
Treasury Department. Mr. Glover in his re-
port made various charges against Mr. Me
Pherson’s management Of the Treasury Bu—
reau of Engraving and Printing. In his let-
ter Mr. McPherson takes up the assertion of.
Glover and accuses him of falsehOod' and "in-
sanity. He also accuses Glover Of having an
“axe to grind,” by wishing to restore to the
bank note corporations the work nowdonc
by the bureau for the government,land_ hints
that he, Glover was'the paid‘servant Of the
corporations as he very probably was and is.
PATENT OFFICE.
The work on the new roof of the Patent
Office drags slowly along, in fact it has, for
three years owing to the liberality (‘1’) of our
democratic congress. The architect, Mr.
Cluss, has managed to get most of the ceilings ‘
out of the rooms that were flooded with wa-
ter during the terrible storm the night after
the fire. Thiswas found necessary on account
of jarring‘on the roof, which in one instance
caused the ceiling Of a room to, come down
with a crash and to the peril of the lives of
the employees. The new roof progressess
slowly, as does all government work. When
completed it will be the finest building in
Washinton. Gen. Paine, the Commissioner,
has been rusticating at Deer Park, Md., for
some time, but is expected back-on Monday
to resume his duties, as Mr. Doolittle the As-
sistant Commissioner, has been confined at
home on account Of sickness. It has been
rumored that Gen. Paine will shortly resign
as he finds the Work too onerous and the com-
pensation meanly inadequate. This will be
hard for the Patent Ofiitxa, as Gen. Paine is
considered one of the best and most consci-
entious Commissioners that we have ever
had. Who his successor will be rumor has
not, as yet, stated.
Connecticut has not been represented here
this week owing no doubt to the heat and ab-
sence of Congress. G.
STRATFORD.
The death of Charles Waterbury mention-
ed last week, in the Darien correspondence
of the GAZETTE, recalls to the writer of this
article the memory of youthful days. Many
a pleasant hour we have spent in the store
after the labor of the day wasdone, in gen-
ial conversation with him. Mr, Waterbury
was one of the original Abolitio'nist of New
Canaan, and living as he did in a part of the.
town where nearly if not quite all off his
neighbors were democrats of the old school
it cost something to stand up for his honest
convictions. We knew him to be thorough-
ly honest in all his dealings with his fellow
men and ever the same genial, frank “uncle
Charles." From our intercourse With- him
we learned to love and respect him. It ‘
seems almost needless for us to say (an-we
have already mentioned the fact that he 'Was'.
an original Abolitionist,) that he was a hater
of Slavery in any form. During the dark
days of the late civil war he never doubted
the final triumph .of the Union army. We.
remember well a conversation with him just
after the seven daytbattles before Richmond,
wheme cause of the Union looked gloomy
enough". .~ In talking-over the result of those
battles vie-said to him, “Uncle Charles, don’t
you think it looksubad for us ?" “Well,"
said he, “it does, but I don’t feel afraid, be.
cause the Lordf’is on our side andwcaro
going ..to conquer,-ifor. who can fight against
Him." He hved to see what‘hexhsd been
longing for tall his life accomplished, viz:
"the downfall'of Slavery, and well mi
he exclaim with Jacob 'of old: “Mine ey
have seen Thy salvation Lord, and now let:
test Thy servant depart in peace." And
those immortal lines by one of America’s
great poets might well be applied to him:

I see you» have at. last, inyour rambles,

Berkshire, your objective point. Now, if
you will look upon the map you will see how
modestly Alford retires into the almost south-

So long as the legend lives, will be found
hearts to prompt willing hands in preserving

Stockbridge is the old burial ground of the

made the Indians select the site—the sloping
side of a bill that drops gracefully into a
stretch of meadows, green, velvety,inviting--

The Cure for Gossips..
Everybody must talk about something.
The poor fellow who WIis teld not to talk 'for
the fear that people would find out thathe
was afoul, made" nothing by the experiment.
He was considered a fool because he did not
talk. It does not always prove that because
a man does not talk he is a fool.
On some subject or another everybody must
have something to say or give up society. Of
course the topics of conversation will relate»
to the ,‘ subjects of knowledge. If a man is
interested in science he will talk about sci—
ence. If he is an enthusiast in art, he will
talk about art. If he is familiar with litera—
ture, and is an intelligent and persistent read-
ei- he will naturally pnt ‘fo’rward literary
topics in his conversation. SO with social
question's, pOlitical questions, religious ques-
tions. Out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketb. That of which the
mind is full, that with which it is furnished
will come out in expression.
The very reason why the world is full of
gossip, is that those who indulge in it have
nothing else 'in them. They must interest
themselves in something. They know noth-
ing butwhatthey learn from day to dayrin
intercourse with observations of their neigh-
bors. What these neighbors do, what they
say, what happens to'them in their social and
business afiEairs,‘what‘ they wear, these be—
come the questions of supreme interest. The
personal and social life around them this is
the book under constant perusal, and out of
this comes that . pestifcrous conversation
and in a million of houses all over this coun
try nothing is talked of but the personal af—
fairs of neighbors. All personal - and social
movements and concerns are arraigned before
this high court of gossip,are re'tailed at every
fireside, are sweetened with approval, or em-
bittered by spite, and are gathered up as the
common stock of conversation by the bank—
rupt brains that have nothing 'to busy them.
selves with but tittle :tattle.
The moral aspects of gossips are bad
enough. It is a constant infraction of the
Golden Rule; it is full or all .uncharitable—
ness. NO man or woman of sensibility likes
to have his or her personal concerns hawked
about and talked about, and those who engage
in this work are meddlers and busybodies
who are not only doing damage to others;
are not only engaged in a most unneighborly
office—but are inflicting a great damage upon
themselves. They sow the seeds of anger.
and animosity and social discord. Not one
good moral result ever comes of it. It is a
thoroughly immoral practice, and what is
worse and most hopeless about it is that thou
who are engaged in it do not see that it is im-
moral and detestable. To get into a man’s
house stealthily, when he is away from home
and overhaul his papers, or into a lady’s
wardrobe and examine her dresses, would be
deemed a very dishonorable thing, but to take
up aman’s or'a Woman's name *a'nd’slnutch it

affairs of a neighbor around s 1111111111911 file-
sides, why, this 'is nothing. ,It furnishes a.
topic. It keeps the wheels of society going.
Unhappily for public morals the greed’for.
pcrsOnal'gossip has been seized upon as the
basis of a thrifty traffic. There are news—_
papers that spring to meet every popular de-
mand. We have agricultural papers, political
papers, and papers devoted to every special
interest, great and small that can he named,
and among them papers devoted to personal

Her fidelity and love are, '
public press, the way in which their move-
ments and affairs are heralded and discussed
would be supremely disgusting. were it not
more disgusting that these papers find greedy
readers enough to make the trafiic profitable.
The redeeming thing about these papers is,
that they are- rarely malicious except when
they are very low down—that they season
their doses with flattery. They find their re-
ward in ministering to personal vanity.

AN IMAGINABY Coon Room—A _ corre—
spondent of the Art Amateur writes: Here
is my idea of a cool room, such as I mean
t) have when I shall, have realized from
some large estates in Spain. The room first
of all, is a parallelogram, and the most no-
ticeable feature thcrcln is the small windows
which are placed in the center of the upper
bake! the room, protected on the outside
by awnings. Thus such light as reaches the
apartment is toned down, and unless special
effort is made, the occupant has no knowl-
edge of the sultry atmosphere without. The
windows, moreover, arelprotccted on the in-
side by lace curtains of light gray tint, upon
which airy floral designs are traced. The
drapery falls nearly to the floor, and is sus.
pended by means of rings to an arrow of
pale green color with gilt barb and feather.
The green cords and tasscls which are fast-
ened below the ,window proper draw the euro
~tains back, and are confined in a gilt quiver.
Between the lace folds thus drawn back are
hung suggestively cool pictures of. water,
ian statucttes on brackets.
One-third of the wall is painted of the
same green tint as the arrow shafts and
cords, while the remainder is “white. In
place of a border there is a graceful running
vine pictured, with depending sprays at the
corners. A band of cool gray, with a slight
‘ striping of gold at the edges, marks the point
'of disjunction between the green dado and
white wall. Upon this is painted the wander-
lug convolvulus, with .here and there a
flower, and an occasional petal glittering with
dew.
The floor is-of marquetry work, mostly in
light woods, upon which are spread rugs, all
of modest color and design, but none with
long nap or fringe. Thechandlier is of grace
ful dcsign,glitterlng with glass lustres and e
'ceedingly light gilt chains. The light is fur -
ished by wax tapers.
In lieu of a fireplace or elaborate mantel
there is a conical recess in the wall, shaped
in white marble, ‘thc'bottom of which is a
basin with a‘sllght lip, which extends a little
into the room. Upon-this is built, in an ir-
regular pyramid, a quantity of rock crystal.
from an occasional. interstice of which and -
ding fernsiw'avc’to and fro. When desirable,
:a‘fine spray Of water isthrown upward against
'the=marble-lined=rccess,ifrom Which it drips
Over the translucent 'crystalinto the-marble
basin below,- and is anally discharged by a

jin'g- green leaves.
The furniture, for the most part,.is rattan,
bud consists of easy chairs, several light
lounges, 'a light table for -game's,dnd one with
Writing material: ‘On‘: a sidebOa'rd: of almost
fragile character‘s few articles 'of bric-a-brac
ore standing, While in the center of a reom a
circular etagerc, designed as an “omnium
gathcrum," holds bOOks,paper, wine glasses,
cigarette materials, or any of the many arti—
cles which fancy may incline us‘to take into
the c001 room. ‘
' Nor must I fail to mention one window
much larger than the rest and directly oppo
site the entrance. This window has genuine
glass and'curtains, but beyond the glass ap-
pears a bosky glen, down which a limpid
mountain stream dashes, both over and un-
der ferny rocks and moss-grown logs.
Through its cool misty atmosphere, one
delicate ray of sunlight gleams upon the
foliage, dripping from the late summer
shower.
One-third of the room may be cut off by
means of two curtains, which are of the
same prevailing green tint, but upon which
apattern of white lace is thrown.' The sil—
vered rod upon which these curtains run is
let half way into the ceiling, and when the
curtains are not in use'they are drawn into
a recess in the wall. A red precisely situ—
ated asthe one on which the curtain runs
traverses the other end of the room and these
in turn are crossed at right angles by sim—.
ilar rods. With these as a relief to the
ceiling, dad a pale tinted design about the
chandlier, the efiect will be charming.
Hammocks may be suspended from these
rods, at certain places where they have been
specially strengthened to sustain such a
Weight. _ ‘
There are some other ,details, which might
be mentioned, but enough has been written
to give a-gencral idea, whioh, Of course,must-
needs be‘modified‘by "means, “tastes and sur-
roundings. The main features of such a'room
should be its lightco10rs, cool looking furni-
ture and furnishings, and above all, absence
of overcrowding and often use of brilliant
colors or glaring contrasts.
How SUMNER WAs SNOOan.—'The Beéton
correspondent of the Hartford Gourant writes
as follows of the late Senator Sumner: "We
were talking about'the profanity Of a very
distinguished American statesman not now
living. Mr. Sumner (who never swore him-
self) said,"‘WelI, 'I have heard ~'him'svvear
severely; but, use rule. nobody swears in
“my presence. The greatest mortifieation -I
ever received in m'y-lif‘in‘this way was when
I was at breakfast abroad with Lord Broug—
when somebody brought a newspaper to Lord
Brougham. It contained a personal attack
upon him. The article Was marked, and he'
read it through. 'thn he had completed it
he began arvolley ofthe mast scathingoaths
that I ever heard fall from the lips of 'man.
There was no limit to the curses he rained
upon'the head of the author of this piece. I
was shocked and stricken dumb,’ said Mr.
Sumner. “The only other occupant of ‘the
table, except Lord Brougham and myself,
was Brougham's mother. She sat at the head
opposite her son,a venerable and courtly lady,
with an elegance and grace of manner which
I never saw excelled. I ’ dared not look at
her for some moments, but when I ventured
to turn my eyes in that direction I‘found not
‘a muscle of her face was moved. She was
as calmly unconscious of What her son had
becnsaying as if he was talking in Arabic.
The breeze soon blew over, and we had -a
very enjoyable broakfast.’ "

REGULATOR. Is no ‘drastlc, violent purge, but a

CONSTIPATION l
SIIOULD not be regarded as a trifling ail-
ment—m that nature demands the utmost reg-
ulnrity of the bowels, and any deviation from
this demand paves the way often to serious
danger. It is quite as necessary to remove
impure accumulatIons from the owcls as it
Is to eat or sleep, and no health can be expect-
ed Where a costlve habit of body prevails.
SICK HEADACHE l '
This distressing affliction occurs most frequent-
ly. The disturbaneo of the stomach, arising
from the imperfectly dIchIted contents. causes a
severe sin In thevhesd. accompanied With disa-
greeab e Desert, and this constitutes what is pop-
ularly known as sick headache.

Celebrated. Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. . ,
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above
where they are at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, .besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb~screw,whieh
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumhscrew.
3d. While other safe-makers use' three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our Faun-Wuhan LOCKS on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead Of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe's being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre-
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have men
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness Of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate; the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man.
'ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

ELSON’S '
Lincoln’s nomer Phrases. I
[Noah Brooks in Scribncr’s Monthly.]
In his letter declining,“ _invitatiOn to at.
tend the Illinois republican convention, in
1803, Lincoln made use of two org-three
.striking figures. Reviewing the military
events of the past year, which had been
favorable to the cause of the Union, he
said: “The father of _waters again goes un-
vexed to the sea.” And referring to the
fact that southern Unionists and ex—slaves
had done something to help on the good
work, he said; “On the spot, their part of
the history is dotted down in black and
white." There was something in the phrase
“dotted down in black and white" which
mightly tickled the popular fancy. At the
time, however, criticism was provoked by
this odd figure employed by the President:
Nor must uncle Sam’s web-feet be forgotten
At all the watery margins they have been
present not only on the deep sea. 9110 broad
bay, the rapidriver, but also up the narrow
muddy bayous and wherever the ground
was a little damp, they have been and made
their tracks.” Lincoln ’was amused by the
discussion of the newspapers to which the
use of the phrase “Uncle M’s web-feet"
gave rise. He explained that the remark-
able_feats performed by the gunboats, in
making their way through sloughs and hay-
ous,. heretofore, considered unnavigable.
reminded him of the stealthy passage of
water-fowl. The pleasantry concerning
light draught steamers goingl where “the
ground is a little damp" is familiar to every-
body.
It will be a long time before our people
will forget Lincoln’ homely smile of “eld-
cr squirts charged with rose water,” as ap-
Plied to the conservative programme for
prosecuting the war. This was used in a
letter addressfi to Cuthbcrt Bullitt of New
Orleans, in which letter he also said that the
conservatives were like complaining passen~
gers on a ship—“the mutineers must go un-
touched, lest one of these sacred passengers
should receive an accidental wound.” His
imagination was powerfully stimulated by
any reference to the history of the republic.
His address at Gettysburg, now one of
the great historical speeches of the
world, suggests rather than expresses, a
crowd of images. To Lincoln’s mind, ap-
parently, American history was filled with
noble and pathetic figures. In some of the
loftier flights of his eloquence may be found
traces of a strong poetic fancy—an imagina-
tion fired by love of country, and inspired
by the contemplation of the stirring events
that have marked its history. No more
striking example of this can be found any-
where than in the memorable words which
closed his first inaugural address: “The
mystic chords of memory, stretching from
every battle-field and patriotic grave to every
living heart and hearth-stone, all over this
broad land,‘will yet swell the chorus of the
Union. when again touched, as surely as
they will be, ,by the better angels of our na-
ture.”

WHAT Bonner E. LEI SAID or GRANT
AND SHERMAN..—The Cincinnati 6’le
prints along story by the cx-chaplain of an
Ohio regiment, detailing his impressions re-
ceived in an interview held With the late
General Robert E. Lee at time General Sher-
mond. We quote from it as follows:
“I wish,” said General Lee, “to do simple
justice to General Grant, when I say that his
treatment of the army of southern Virginia
is without a parallel in ihe history of the
civilized world. When my peer soldiers,
with famished faces, had neither food nor
raiment, it was then that General Grant im—
mediately issued the humane order that 40,-
000 rations should be furnished to the im-
poverishedtoops. And that was not all of
his magnanimity. I was giving directions to
one of my staff ofilcers, when making out the
list of things to be surrendered, to include
the horses. At that moment General Grant,
who seemed to be paying no attention to what
was transpiring quickly said: NO, no, Gen—
eral Lee, not a horse—not one—keept hem
all 1 Your people will need them for the
spring crops! " ° 7 i V .
It was a scene never to be forgotten to watch
Lee’s manner when, with a spirit of chivalry
equal to his skill and gallantry, he told with
moistened eyes this and many other instances
of the magnanimity so nobly displayed by
his illustrious rival.
The conversation turned to General Sher-
man. The southern papers were criticising
very sharply Sherman’s march through Geor-
gia and the Carolinas, and I asked General
Lee what his views were of the great flanker.
He said in substance :
“It has been. observed that there is no char-
acter so uniformly bright as not to possess
some dark stains; but while we assent to
the general truth of this observation, that
charity which hopeth all things should lead
us to believe that there are no hearuso dark-
ly vicious as not to be illumined by some
beams of the light of virtue. To suppose
Sherman an exception to this rule would be
illiberal. The unbounded license which he
allowed his soldiers in the states of Georgia
and the Carolinas has greatly aggravated the
horrors of war. As a strategist and com-
mander of men, Sherman :has displayed the
highest order of military genius. Through—
out his recent campaign, where he had to pass
through an unknown country, cross rivers,
support his troops, etc., he certainly exhibit-
ed a singleness of purpose, a fertility of re—
source, which wins himrahighplace among
the famous soldiers of history. He seems to
be cool without apathy, cautious withoutvbe-
mg dilatory, patient without being dispirited,
personally brave, but never rash. Judged by
Napoleon’s test, ‘Who did all that ? ’ he is. in
my Opinion among the most successful of the
federal ofiiccrs who have played a prominent
part in the history of the war. ”
In the course of the conversation he'lspoke
of Sheriden as a most brilliant and magnetic
commander. I asked him who wasthc great-
est of the federal generals.
“Indeed, sir, I have no hesitation in saying
General Grant. Both asta gentleman and an
organizer of victorious war,’ General Grant
hath excelled all your most noted soldiers.
real greatness of mind, more consumatc. pru-
dence from the outset, and more heroic bra-
very than any on your side. " ’1

J error-son Davis’siregacy.
The friends of Mr. J efforSon Davis will re-
joice that the legacies whichhehas received
at the hands of a benevolent widow place
him above the need of running for United
States Senator from Mississippi. Through
the friendship and mm tion of Mrs. Sarah
A. Dorsey, of Mississippi, her testamentary
disposition of her property, and death Mr.
Davis is now the possemor of two cotton
plantations and a villa on the Gulf coat,
where he is now residing, enjoying his 0811""
cum dzqu‘tate. Since the close of the war
a series of disasters have followed Mr. Davis.
His property had been embarrassed and was
finally swamped; he was entangled in
ruinous lawsuits; his business ventures Were
disappointments; his children died; many
of his friends proved as faithless as his ene-
mies were many and fierce. The heart must
repose and ease in the closing of his days.
Mrs. Dorsey made a good disposition of her
property.—Baltzmr‘ a Gazette. _ I
