The Campaign of 1879.
MAINE, holds her election to—day, (Mon—V

of the legislature, which is to elect on U. S.
Senator, are to be chosen. Both parties have
expressed themselves as sure of victory, but

. New York.
The Republican State Convention of the
great state of' New York was held last week
and Hon. A. B. Cornell was nominated can-
didate for Governor on the first ballot. The
Republican party of New York at the con-
vention was most ably represented, and
speeches were made by Vice President
Wheeler and Senator Conkling. The nomi-
nation was a strong one and strongly made,
although Mr. Cornell had encountered the
united opposition of the New York city
press. He’conducted one of the most con-
spicuously able and successful. campaigns of
any man who ever headed the State Commit-
tee for the Empire State. The nomination
was in reality is great a personal triumph
for Senator Corkiing as for Mr. Cornell, but
both bore off their honors with a dignity that .
could beget only good feeling in the party
and give the outside world the best assurances.
of glorious success at the polls:
New Voters.
New voters are made (usually) but once a
year. This season voters are to be sworn in
before Town election. If the amendment; to
tlle‘s‘Constitution in regard to biennial sessions
of the legislature is carried, then voters will
not bemade again until the Fall of 1880.-
Persons neglecting to be made will in that
case, be unable to vote at the Borough elec-
tion or at School meetings during the year.
In order “to be made," written applications
must be made to the registrars on or before
Friday, the 19th inst. No names registered
“to be made” after that date. See Official
notice of Registrars.

Home Again.
Mayor Morison's party, including his own
family. Mr. and Mrs. Nefi, Burgess St. John
and wife reached New York on Saturday at
3 o’clock p. m.,srid came up to Norwalk on
the evening"train.""~ They took passage in
the White Star Line Steamer Germanic and
had a quick passage home in seven days
and twenty hours. They had one lively
storm between Liverpool and Queenstown
and another out at sea, which "stirred up”
the ladies of the party some, but otherwise,
the return voyage was a very pleasant one.
All were received “at home" with congratu-
lations most hearty.
Schulte, Murder Case.
The trial of Bt‘i’cbi‘iolz for the murder of
Schultc commences today at Bridgeport.
Both parties are ready to go on with the case,
and by another week the salient points of
the prosecution and defense will be develop—
ed. The judge has declined to order States
Attorney Olmstead to exhibit in advance
what he admits he found near the place (f

given in the letter from ‘Frisco,’ but prom-
ises ‘that no improper advantage shall be
taken of the accused in consequence of it.

to be a pocket book or memorandum book of
Schulte’s. Whatever it is, Mr. 0. says only,
that he deems it of much importance.

Schools.
Dr. Fitch's Hillside School commenced
its fall term yesterday. »
The Academic year of Rev. Mr. Selleck's
school will commence next week Wednes-
day, the 17th inst. Circulars can be had on
application to the Principal.
Mrs. F. W. Perry’s Home School for Misses
and Kintergarten for children, will re-opcn
on Wednesday 10th. A trained teacher
from a New York Normal school will assist
Mrs. Perry. See adv.
Miss Eliza Carter opens her School on the
the 11th. She has engaged an accomplished
assistant in the person of a niece of Prof.
Northrop of Yale College. Miss Northrop
is the daughter of B. K. Northrop, Esq.,
of Ridgeficld, and her high attainments in
scholarship and her superior merits as a
teacher are endorsed by Prof. Dwight of
Vassar, Prof. Carleton of New Britain, Rev.
Dr. Grigge and others. . .

The Goat Nuisance.
The promiscuous keeping of goats about
our village is becoming an unbearable nui~
sauce. Perhaps our old Town House isn't
quite as unattractive as it might be, but we
can’t see how a dozen, bleating and carous-
ing goats, adds anything to the attractive-
ness of the scene. And when their vault-
ing ambition leads them to skip upon and
.balance themselves on the top of one of the
old careening grave. stones of the adjacent
burial ground, we must say that the spec-
tacle, though unique and picturesque, is
not altogether as reverend and cheerful a
sight as might. be contemplated in connec-
tion with the resting place of our departed
kindred. The Borough authorities ought to
suppress the abominable nuisance.

The inauguration of the new track on the
Fair Grounds takes place on Thursday of

Prof. Nordenskjold has actually accom-
plished the trip'from Europe to Asia through
the Arctic ocean. He has demonstrated
that a passage really exists, but that it is
utterly worthless for commercial purpose

and arrived in Japan the present month.
They were fast in the ice, at one place, for

Biggest Yield Yet.
— George Seymour, Esq., at his South Nor-
walk nursery, planted last spring 81's: ounces
in weight of a new seedling potato called
by some the “St. Patrick,” and by others the
“Irish Potato,” and from this small Weight
of seed, he has dug a little rising of seventy
pounds of large and fine tubers. Why
should able and idle men let their families
want, when such results as this may be
accomplished with so little land and labor?

some inusilastfsfiiing "leased the William
Jamesfaetory building, south of Leenartl’s
Coal Yard, and have fitted up the same for
this locally new industry. The senior Mr.
Buckley made in 1860 for the Goody
Elastic Fabric 00., in New Brunswick, N. J .,
the first piece of elastic webbing ever manu-
factured in this country. Subsequently he
became and for nearly twenty years continu—
ed the superintendent of the Glendale Elastic
Fabric 00., at East Hampton, Mass. While
for weaving a novel and much improved;
corded salvage edging to his elastic web'-
bing. This, with wool terry goring in gen—
eral, is the chief of his new Norwalk manu—
facturing. Hamill soda have ten looms run-
ning, and employjrom thirty—five to ftrty
hands. Thus far he has been unable to keep
up with the orders for his goods. His pur-
pose is td'manufacturc a quality of goods so
much better than any ever before put upon
the market, that his “trade mark” will be his
only needed advertisement forseeuring soles
for all the goods he can manufacture. His
webbings are used principally for the elastic
gores in gentlemen’s congress gaiter shoes.
This being of an improved quality, as we
have said, the demand upon the factory has.
thus far been greater than its present capaci—
ty to supply. He uses large numbers of
paper boxes which are made by our friend
Rowan, at south Norwalk, the engine con-
sumeslargc quantities of coal furnished by
Norwalk yards, and last but not least, they
require considerable printing which is satis-
factorily done at the GAZETTE Job Office,
and thus, with their corps of workmen
spending their weekly wages, our whole
town is benefitted, while the railroads and
boats are incidentally profited by the very
considerable increase of their freights. Mr.
Bulkley, Sr., is an ingenious inventor and
practical mechanic, and makes for himself
any peculiar devices needed to make. more
smooth or perfect, the fabrics he-turns out.
He was attracted to Norwalk by its great nat-
ural beauties, its reputed healthfulness and
ease and nearness of access by land and
'water to New York. He does not regret his
selection of a'location, but expects to remain
an interested citizen, ready to aid encourage
any other enterprises that may be induced,as
he was, to locate here. His chief markets
for his goods are Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, and his central position here
makes these several points very convenient
'of acccess to him, and with all our advan-
' tages of express, water and land facilities for
shipping his orders expeditiously, he deems
Norwalk one of the best possible localities
for manufactories of any character. The
Messrs. Buckleys’ advent among us but cm—
phasises the great advantages that might be
expected to grow out of a properly organized
local Board of Trade, as suggested by us a
short time since. Let one be organized, and
new business enterprises looked after and
invited here, as is being done at less favored
places.

We hear many complaints about the down
freight train which reaches South Norwalk
about 10 o’clock, p. m. - The long line of cars
stretch across the public streets, ’and are often
kept there an unreasonable length of time
causing a cessation of travel. Audiences
coming from Music Hall are. sometimes an~
noyed, for there is no way of getting by
without climbing over. Th3 night of the
Masonic Excursion an aged Mason and his
wife lost thePDlinbpry train through their in-
abilityjo cliiiibover, and were;- forced to
walk from South Norwalk to Wilton at that
late hour. Certainly this trouble can be
easily remedied.

services. He read a portion of a recent ser-

St. J oseph’s Society.
The above Society had it in contemplation
to welcome back to his home, by a public
procession and demonstration, their patron
and friend, Warden Morison. But the Iun:
certainties as to the time of his arrival from
Europe, led the Society, very sensibly, as we
think, to forego the street parade and to
express their sentiments in a congratulatory
resolution welcoming his safe return to his
home and friends.

. -;4::Seweragc.
Our issue of last week contained a commu-
nication from “Public Spirit" on the above
subject, may of whose suggestions are
worthy of serious consideration and appro—
val. It is certainly a drawback to the pros.
perity of the town that it is without any
adequate system of sewerage. Such a state
of affairs undoubtedly produces a greatly
increased mortality among children, and is
the moving cause of the prevalent form of
illness commonly but vaguely defined as
“malaria.” A thorough drainage 'of the
town would in great part" bluish malaria in
all its forms, and save yearly a large amount
in doctor’s bills, to say nothing of valuable
lives. l‘But, on the other handfour corres-
pondent must remember that, malaria or no
malaria, a general sewer system such-as he
advocates, is a flat impossibility under our
present circumstances. If there were no
other resource Norwalk would simply have
to stagger along and endure malaria .as best it
might.
Luckily, however, there is another system
of village drainage, cheap, simple and elli-
cient. We had an opportunity of observing
itslcapabilitics during a recent visit to the
village of Lenox, Mass, where it is in suc-
cessful operation. It it is the patented sys-
tem of Mr. Rogers Field, a leading English
engineer, and consists of a numbei'": of small,
tight, six-inch pipes, leading from the houses
into alarge tank in the open fields. This
tank is so far self-acting that it will empty
itself, by means of a syphon, into a number
of distributing pipes. In Lenox these dis-
tributing pipes are open at the joints, are
placed about a foot belowIIthe ground, and
are used to enrich the soil through which
they pass. In Norwalk there :would be an
additional advantage in the possibility of
emptying the. tank directly into tide-water,
thus saving all the expense of 10,000 feet
of distributing pipe. The pipes leading to
the tank are kept clear of sediment by tum-
bler tanks at short intervals, supplied by
drainageof the neighboring surface water.
In Lenox the system has been found to be
completely odorless, and after six years’
operation there is. yet no accumulation of
filth whatever.
Here is a cheap and efficient system under
which all the cost would be expended in
the town itself. Norwalk’s manufact'ory
can supply the needed tiles and pipes as
cheap and good u 'can be had anywhere.
There is enough unemployed labor in town
to make it an object to give' it work. We
have contractors of ability, '«energy, and
experience to organize the labor and carry
out the work. All that is needed is that our
people should lay the importance of the
matter to heart, and call on every father
whOse children have tasted of “cesspool
fever" to vote for themeeded measure that
will give our noses and our doctor’s bills
some relief.
At South Norwalk a short line of cement
pipe sewer manufactured and laid through
Washington street by the Messrs. Leonard 65
Son, at about a quarter the cost of our own
outrage upon all the rules of engineering
skill and of common sense, givcsfull use to
- nearly the whole of the city, both for its
dirty surface water andr’all its eesrpool and
household needs. The Leonards have just
closed a contract to connect a smaller sewer
as far as the residence- of State Treasurer
Talmndgc Baker. Into this a wide‘area of
hill residences may easily and cheaply be
.tapped, so that we are left disgracefully
behind our younger sister, after having
expended more than double the m‘oney she
hasdone. ' -' ‘

A New Cure for Rheumatism.
We supposed that every possible “cure”
for rheumatism, had been suggested are this
but a German ppper announces the discovery
of a new one. f'A :woman near Prague suf-
fered so severely from gout in the arm that
she could not obtain ,rest or sleep, and the
limb in which the disease had settled was
rendered entirely useless. ' Her husband
having heard of a countryman who had been
completely cured of rheumatism after being
accidentally stung by a bee, persuaded her
to try this disligreeable remedy, which, as
‘he pointed out, could hardly prove so pain-
fulasthe disease. She contented and al-
lowed three bees to be placed on her arm
and to sting her in several places. ’ Surpris-
ing results ensued; the patient soon after-
wards fell into a long and deep sleep, the
first real sleep she had enjoyed for six
months, after which the some pain disap—
peariad; and when the swelling produced by
the stings subsided, the arm recovered the
power of motion, and the gout has not since

Banged Rainier Idotlc Fringe.
_ To our sight,-=stfys,an exehapge, there is
nothing sadder titans sane women with her
hair banged. A‘ lunatic mght be excused
forsuch erratic- stylet of hair dressing, but
how.- woman sin-Jim full possession of her
faculties, and. with the knowledge that she
hasa character to keep up, can wear her hair
changed, is to us, a profound mystery.
From whence the style? What originated
it ? Who set it afloat ? Nobody on earth
can say truthfully that it is beautiful. We
.have never heard of its curing the liver com—
plaint or the rheumatism. . It does not ren—
der any cue more liable to draw a prize in
a lottery. It does not ensure the wearer.
against being drowned, or struck by light-
ning, or bored by sewing machine agents.
It does not make a tall woman look shorter,
or a short one taller, or a fat one leaner, and
if it is becoming to any human face, then the
fact has escaped our notice.
It will metamorphosa the prettiest girl of
our acquaintance into a monstrosity, and for
its effects on a plain woman! maytlle saints
deliver us from seeing it! . '
It sets our teeth on edge 1 It imparts to
the average female face the mostly discour-
aged, woe-begone, done—for generally expres-
sion, we have ever seen—as if the person
had played her last card, got euchred, and
was ready to sell out ‘ cheap to the first pur-
chaser. _ _
Just imagine Lady Washington with her
hair banged! Think of Barbara Fritchie,
waving the flag in Stonewall Jackson’s face,
with her hair banged! Picture to yourself
Joan of Arc leading her troops to victory with
hcrhair banged!
A woman in this style of hair arrangement
resembles a Shetland pony, which has been
well groomed, and which is in doubt and
uncertainty, as if she felt a little axious lest
the thatch on her forehead might not be se-
curely fastened, or that it suddenly might go
back on her,and show something which ought
not tobe seen. '7 l"- '
We always comriliserate the woman whose
hair is banged. We feel like asking her if
there is anything we can‘ do for her. She
appears to us like a woman in trouble. We
speak softly to her as if ordinary. tones might
jar her nerves. We wouldn’t offer her a
subscription paper for the 'worldi Nor be
glad if anybody trod on the trail of her dress
or squirted tobacco juice on her velvet
mantle. .
We look at her and wonder how she would
seem with that mask taken off her forehead.
We wonder if she has got moth patches on
her temples, or a mole on her classic brow,
or a “cowlick.” Her forehead is to us as
profound a mystery as fortune-telling, or
psychomancy, or materlization; and we get
so full of it that we would give half a dollar
tones the fringe lifted, and what is under it.
brought to the light of day.
We wonder if she admires herself in the
glass? If she thinks bangs are bewitching ?
If she never wishes she had not cut that hair
of, and so condemned herself to wear her
hair that way, willy, Nilly? Does her hus—
band admire it it Does he never sneer at it
behind his newspaper ? Does he ever tell her
he wishes she had as pretty a forehead as
Miss Smith ? Does ever call her an angel,
and think to himself how an angel would
look in bangs?

Dr. Cooke will continue to devote himself entirely

cases 0; disease whose attention is also taken up
with acute cases of diseases. There is no time
during the rounds of the family doctor to give
that attention to his chronic patients that the in-
tricate nature of the ailment call-for. A Doctor
who is called to perhaps fifty cases a do of acute
diseases, and who can barely stay wit any one
patient more than ten minutes at each visit. and
then the physician must make a hurried, and in
man cases an incorrect diagnosis of the: case,
not om want. of ability but from want of roper
time to devote to caclfilpdrtie a: case. ow fu-
tile thcn for any fanu y phy clan to attemptto
treat chronic complaints, which require great
study, perseverance, and plenty of time to apply

applicable to aged persons, to delicate ehloratic

whose decay of powers is caused by overnxing

these patients the Galvanic hath exercises a di-
