BERKSHIBBCO.. Mass, Sept. lat, 1879. )

DEAR Gunner—This is such a delicious
day, like one of the days of Indian Summer.
The thought of staying in the house is met!-
dening. Drop your pen and go with us to
visit some spot you perhaps never heard of.

Since writing you last, we have made our
way_to the little burial ground we mentioned,
where sleep the‘pereuts of Mrs. William Cul-
len Bryant. An upright marble slab bears

the following inscriptions: .
In memory of Mr. Yachariah Fairchlld ,
and

Mrs. Hannah Fairchild, his wife.

.—

Mr. Fairchild died June 14. 1814, in the at
year of his age. 3

Mrs. Fail-child, April 12. 1814, in the 57 year
of her age. ,

 

While friends a..d children weep around,
We sweetly slumber in the ground.

Some seventy years ago. when my father
was a boy, they used to tell a story that had
for its immediate locality, the house of
Deacon Barrett, which stood a few rods south.-
west of where the Fairchild's lived. Alford,
at that time, the northern partof Barrington,
had aroused the ire of thepeopleinthe
village by their killing of deer contrary to
law. Two men were sent out to look up
evidence, and ascertain the guilty parties.
Theysearchedthrough the western part of
the town, but found no deer. A man who
had killed a fine deer, beingwarned of the
impendingdsnger. dragged it into a thick
swamp and concealed it. The deer hunters, _
tired and hungry, despairing of their search,
went over to the house of Deacon Barrett;
Making excuse for their appearance there"
they asked that they might have dinner pre-_,
pared for them, and being extremely fond of .
venison if the Deacon could procure them;
some, they would pay handsomely for it” .
The Deacon had none, but would see what,
he could do. He called upon a neighbor»
who had just lost a horse. and cutting several
slices from the hind quarter carried it home
instructing his wife to do her best in cooking
it, then place it upon the table. The deer-
hunters made an excellent'dinner—prailoll
the venison—the finest they .8701 tested, and
begged the Deacon to know where it was
obtained. He sent them to the neigth
from whom they were anxious to purchase
some of that fine venisouhe had just sold"?
Deacon Barrett. .They were shown where
the steaks were cut but. but without waiting
for more started for Barringtou.

All our life we have spent more or less of
the summer here, yet ‘never heard of White's
Hill till three months ago. This hill—or
mountain as it has until recently been called
—lies;between North Egremont and Hillsdale'.‘ .
We reach it from the North Egremont side.
Striking the road that runs north from , the
village we follow it perhaps a mile, then
turn sharp to the left—west—to the mou‘n-
tains. It’s a pretty steady climb to the top, g
but the drive is a romantic one though
rough, very like any mountainous back road;
not used by the public todemandcerefui‘
attention. It lies through a gorge where the
hills on either side have rounded gracefully

 

Waamneron, Sept. 0, 1879.

Dean Gazer-rs. 2—On Tuesday moning an
illicit distillery, almost within a stone's throw
of the Executive mansion and quite as near
theInterual Revenue Bureau, was selzed,and
the operatives thereof captured by the ofii—
cers of the government. It appears that for
two or three weeks past tho deputy collector
of this District has suspected that a building
on I street, near 15th, was about to be used
for illicit distilling. The selection of the
place out off as k is from observation,
although on one of the most aristocratic
streets, showed considerable ssgacity on the
part of the projectors of the business, and
no onehut experienced ofilcers would have
suspecwd that anything contraband was
being carried on there. The detection, plan
of the seizure and arrest of the parties con-
nected with the business, show that our rev-
enue men do not propose to have a distillery
carried on without interruption light under
the nose of the Internal Revenue Depart—
ment.
On Wednesday, President Hayes dedicated
the National Fair Grounds at Ivy City. Hon.
J. C. 8. Blackburn was the orator of the day,
and his address, teeming with good‘ advice,
was listened to attentively. At the conclu-
sion of his remarks, a new spade was handed
him to present to ' President Hayes. Taking
the spade the President said lliat this occa-
sion reminded him of a similar one in his
own State. When a young man, the first
time he listened to a public speaker was on
the occasion of the dedicatiou of " a fair
ground. The gentleman who was quite
famous, told his hearers that as the day was
warm and the work hard he would have to
take of! his coat to it. He did so, and good
judges said the job was well done. For
himself, said the President. he would prefer
to keep his coat on. He then struck the
spade in the earth and giving it two or three
vigorous thrusts with his left foot obtained a
good solid spadeful. This he lifted and upset
remarking that the land was not so good as
the black swamp farms near hisown Western
heme. ~

Archibald Roane, a well known lawyer,
died suddenly on Wednesday in the office of
Collector of Taxes. He was born in Knox.
ville, Tenn, and was a member of the old
Beans family of Virginia. He received an
appointment in the Attorney General's ofilce

under Caleb Cashing. , When the war broke

out he espoused the Confederate cause, and

going to Richmond rose to the position of

Assistant Secretary of State of the Confed-
eracy. He obtained from the late Caleb
Cushiug a letter of introduction and recom-
mendation to Jeff Davis, the publication of

which defeated Mr. Cushing's confirmation»
as Attorney General of the United States.

' For the year ending June 80, 1879, the
Patent Ofilce received 19,800 Applications,

2,874 Caveats, 697 Designs, 1,465 Trade
Marks, 639 Reissues, and 631 Labels. '

Itis ou dit that Ex-Governor Jewell has

been here to intermde with the President
and Secretary Evarta for the appointment of
Ex-Goveruor
now our Consul General at-Paris, to be Min-
ister at Binnie. Mr. Jewell did this, it is
said, in compliance with the earnest wishes
of a large number of American gentlemen

Hartford and Waterbury Libra-

. ' [188. g

The city of Waterbury, in this state, by
the last census, had 13,106 inhabitants. The
city of Hartford had 37,743. It isabout
fairtosay, for matters of circulation, that
Hartford is three times the size of Water-
bury. Hartford has a public library of
about 26,500 volumes. Waterbury, if such
things go by ratio, and if it has a library at
all, should have one of 8,000 volumes. The
Hartford library has 643perscns drawing

books from it. Waterbury should have
jabout 225 persons using its library. There
are 80,500 volumes a year drawn from the

down to their M 3 ‘ brook am” down iHartford library. There ought to be 11,0007

not from one side only, but from every. It:

miles to the north stretch the Adirondacks
The smoke rising from the foundries at Troy

you see that round hill top over there i re-

move it and you see Hudson.

That water, that looked so red this morn-
ing under the rising sun, is the Hudson river
—you can see its boats. Beyond the river
are the Kastskills—you can see the Mountain
House; this glass will show you the people
on the plasma, and help you to pick out the
reaidencesnestling on the western baakof
the Hudson fora distance _of two or three
miles. We can look into Vermont, New

Green River, Austerlitz. Sheffield, Canaan,
East Canaan, Ashley Falls, tree just where
Barrington has hid under the bluffs, Stock—
bridge, Pittsfield, nestling snugly down like
a bird's nest hidden between its hills. We
cannot enumerate all the places. In North
Hillsdale we saw men loading hay—in
Alford, ploughing. Twenty miles away, in
New Marlboro, a man could be distinctly
seen mending fences. Could such a tower as
stands on Talcot Mountain, near Hartford,
stand here, we feel the view would be
grander than we can imagine. But _this
spot where we stand is just an open lot on
tap of the mountain, (once heavily timbered)
for all the world like a bald spot on a man's

speculators are figuring for pomemion. Mr.
White himself at times entertains thoughts
of building to meet the increasing demands
of the sightseeing public. The applications
forboard are frequent but at present daily
visitors only can . be accommodated. We
saw in the parlor an earthen jar over two
hundred years old, that after lying midst
dust and cobwebs for years, has been brought
out, prettily decorated by Mrs. White and
given a place of honor, better still, it has a
history. The bay window held many thriv-
ing plants-the yard was a garden of fiowers.
Wehsdadrlnkof coldwaterfreshfromthe
spring-think of that ye city people, and of
spring water coming into every room of the
house, ye who wash with Croton. The day
proceeding our visit, bright and early came
an old man to the house. Mr. White walked
with him to the high ground. Looking
around this old gentleman said: “I am an
old man upwards of seventy-five years of
age. I have travelled a good deal and seen
some fine views but its no ways likely I shall
ever see a view like this ngaiu. I came up
alone this morning to enjoy it, my friends
yesterday seemed more interested in talking
of the crops and stock in the valley below.
I want to take it all in, point out to me the
places familiar to you." It is a place for the
asthetic to stand. No wonder with such
views, such air and water as Berkshire gives

Speakingwith a physician as to the fine,

expressed wonderthet so many people seventy

sticking his thumbs into the armholes of his
vest, he continued. “for seven years I battled
with consumption, worse off than you, eve—

cious exultation, “Just look at we note!"

REPORTERS.

A Sketch .Which Ought to be
Truthful and Perhaps ls.

 

 

“Snare," m Cmcaco Tnuonarn.

Chicago newspaper reporters differ materi-
ally from members of the fraternity in other
localities. The Chicago reporter is essential-
ly locally individual in his characteristics ;
a metropolitan cosmopolite in his attributes,
and a th hic craftsmm at his trade.
Though he is the connecting link between
mind and matter; or, more properly, the in-
tellectualhyphou wedding the elements of
the local world, but little is known of him.
He is ubiquitous, omnipresent and Argus-
eyed; yet while continually seeing he is sel—
dom seen; while always present he is rarely
met; and while constantly representing, is
rarely represented. A paradox, in fact,
whose magnetism runs in an unbroken cur-
rent from the kennell to the throne. Very
erroneous ideas exist in regard to the Chica-
go reporter—his remuneration, duties, per-
quisites and manner of living. Many are
under the impression that he receives a
salaifrom $150 to $200 per week. This is
not . Very few of the morning dailies pay
these large salaries; though with the after—
noon papers sums approximating the above
are more general. This is so with the letter
on account'of the more laborious duties of
“day work,” and the extra expenses of bran-
dy and ’soda necessitated by the positive
demand for a level head at 9 o'clock in the
morning. Of course the above sum would
be lusufilcient to meet all the wants of an en-
ergetic reporter, and to supply them the sys-
tem of “perquisites" has gradually come into
use here that amply provides for the financial
shortage. No one ever thinks of having an
item inserted in a paper (said item being of
commercial value to the itemized) without
paying liberally for it. There is no fixed
standard of price for items, but the subsidies
range from $10 to $100, according to length,
importance and value. This, sum is equita—
bly ' divided between the -city editor, the
proprietor and the reporter, and adds not a
little assistance to the latter’s expenses. Re-
porterial livingcosts from 850 to 875 per
week. Generally the reporter is domiciled
at the Tremont, Grand Pacific, or Palmer
House, where his luxurious suite of rooms is
centre of a throng of brilliant men and
women, and the resort of financiers and
statesmen. The prevalent idea that gentle-
men connected with city newspapers havc a
free access to all places of amusement, which
they constantly improve, is very far from
correct. Theatrical;managers and those in
charge of other entertainments, are very
solictious for their presence, reserving the
best seatsinthe house for them and their
friends, frequently sending carrirges to their
hotels to bring them- to the performances,
and not infrequently providing costly cham-
pagne suppers, at which they are regaled—
and potted by lovely actresses—the lions of
the hour. But in Chicago a reporter is not
allowed to accept these courtesies, He must
pay for'whate'ver he gets and wherever he
goes. This has been made a rule, so that his
criticisms may be unbiased; and though Mc
Vicker, and Haverly, and Hooley have tried
hard to break up the pay system, their at—
tempts have been futile. Probably the most
serious inconvenience and annoyance to the
fraternityis the unsolicited admiration be.
stowed upon them by the fair sex. While
;not insensiblc to the homage of brilliant and
lovely women, the Chicago reporter is so do-
voted to his high calling that he has to elimi-
nate the softer and enervating sentiments of
tender passions from his breat. Many a sore
heartbeats under a neatly fitting bodice on
this account, but the iron hand of duty lies
imperatively upon his actions, and though
Venus may court him, like Adonis of old he
turns from her allurements. Recently the
daughter of a millionaire and an heiress in
her own right, became so infatuated with a
prominent "local" that he had to be sent
hbroad,whereupon the lady contented herself
witha typesetter, thereby getting as near
the throne as circumstances would permit.
Of the morale and habits of reporters too
high praise cannot be given. As a class they
in: very abstemious and conscientious. 1m-
bued with strong religious convictions, many
of them hold prominent positions in local
churches, while others spend much of their
time in missionary labors. Few smoke and
nonevdrink. This remark may appear super-
fiuous,but it is not. 'Their veracity is" un-
questioned, and George Washington himself.
it is well known, would have been a reporter
had he not been something else, as he had
the sterling qualities necessary for the pro-
fession, prominent among them being his
inability to tells lie. If a reporter has an
idol, that idol is Truth. .
The principal diet of members of the pro-
fession is fish, large quantities of which are
consumed by them daily. They are used
with scientific discrimination, however. The
police court reporter confines himself to
dressed bull heads, the facetious local to
shrimps, the -city editor (when engaged on
local work) to codfish. the marine man to
crabs, the theatrical critique to porgies, and
the law reporter to eels. The general force
usually eat sturgeon and clams. This appor-
tionment of piscatorial sustenance has had
that refining effect upon the brain which
places the Chicago reporter in the van of his
profession. The editors of papers eat what
they please. A pair of scissors can make an
editor, but a reporter is born, not made. In
their intercourse with one another “locals"
have full opportunities for an interchange of

nity, friendliness, and brotherly love among
them. When one secures an item be hastens
to give it to another, who, in his turn, gives
it to a third, until, in this manner, they all

receive it. Sometimes for more general and

rapid distribution the item is printed first,
thereby reaching all the other reporters
simultaneously. This method is called “the
scoop." If he has a failing it is the mild one
of dress. A reporter may always be distin-
guished in a crowd by his large diamonds.
The purest of Alaska gems are sought for,
and fabulous prices frequently pud. Of his
intellectual acquirements but little need be
said. That he has to be thoroughly versed
in ancient and modern languages, social and
political sciences and economy, all the
“ologies,"—Theo, Rock, Bug and Dox, in-
cluded—an actor, painter, sculptor, soldier,
sailor and connoisseur of free lunches, is
well known. The most cultivated men in
the world are reporters, and from this fact
arises their pet sobriquet, “Cully,” which is
so often used in addressing one another.
Volumes might be written about the Chicago
reporter. but it is not necessary.- He stands
today a monument to the pregress and en-
lightenment, and divine infiatus of the nine-
teenth century. Untold ages have made him
their heir. Truth, justice, and jingle is his
motto. Alllteration, condensation, and eter~
nal millfrontation the some 'of his soaring
ambition. Modest in manners, chivalric in
disposition, and sublime in lmpudence, he
looms up upon the pinnacle of human attain-
ments, and reaches among the clouds for the
glories of immertality. Of him the poet
sang:

One morn a reporter at the gate

Of Paradise stood dlsconsolate;

For the gate was shut and he couldn’t get in,
And he feared a uscoop"—an unpardonable sin.

Por one moment he stood, then up he sprang.
And rang the belt with aterrible clang.

St. Peter appeared: “Who’re you, I’d like to
know? .

Get out of here, you're booked for below.”

But the reporter fiepped back the lappel of his
coat,

And his star’s bright gleam on the eaint’s eye
smote— ~

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
me them the cheapest and best Safes now

e. '

1st. Our “Paras-13.1mm: Bohr Wear"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the out above
where they are; at all times - accessible, an
can beginnodfiaofrg kept integer, £318th
preven em unexpec. y no ' u.
out. In all other Safes the bolts are pla’ozd
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
com leielymby the filling, consequently im-
pcas‘lble to ' or clean them without digging
out'the‘filling, which is expensive, besidAes

a

rig, in our Safes is between e 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 “Pa-rm Hmcnn Car" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on

bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
8d. While other safe-makers use three

wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-

ing the best four-wheel looks for bank safes),

we put on our Fons-Wurst. Locks on all -
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. )- All our Safes are mos-mun mains,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount 'of
waterin our filling without _ of the
Safe’s bein damp. All centers 0 the Safes
are use with angle iron, which, together
with the "fills-lira nature of our filling, re -
vent them injury from falling, or fall-
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have men
nervous instead of sin is or double as in;
others, and are made wi and without inside;
doors. In the great Boston fire ourSafes 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 cfour Safes exposed,tllose that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our exam le
which they would not do, as they knew it at
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
entrustingr to the world the superiority of our
.Safes,.an 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

The Shame of Guilt.

No being can be more unhappy than the
man who must always hide. The Boston
Transcript tells this strange story of a man
who has been “thirty years a stranger at
home 3” '

Men may escape the law, but their own
conscience they cannot flee from. Many
years ago a young man in this city was guilty
of an offence against the law—an offence
which brought social ruin upon himself and
his family. The man and offence are forgot-
ten by the public, yet he lives, and lives here
in Boston.

But from the day his offence was discover-
ed—although having escaped the law he is
free to come and go on he pleases—he has
never been seen outside his own home in the
daytime.

Sometimes, under the cover of night, he
walks abroad to take an airing and note the
changes that thirty years have wrought; but
an ever active conscience makes him shun
the light of day and the faces of men, and
he walks apart, a stranger in the midst of
those among whom he has always lived.

'l‘wo Tramps Dining Elaboratcly.

 

 

TWO o'rnnns nann AT wonx manure THEIR
DINNER THAT THEY nm’n'r our.

 

Flood and Bones are peripatetic printers
widely known. They have a habit of turn-
ing up here and elsewhere when least ex—
pected, coming without warning and depart-
ing even as the wind. Bya. rare chance
they have just been heard from at Danville,
Ill., tramping from St. Louis, and headed
in this direction. They came within view
of the city on Sunday, weary with travel
and sorely hungered. The road they came
has been overworked. The erstwhile hos-
pitable farmer now sets his dog on the way-
faring man instead of welcoming him to
his family. Through this departure from
the customs of the fathers, they walked and
ate not.

Thoroughly discouraged at their_repeated
failures to procure food, they yet concluded
to make one more trial on this beautiful
Sunday morning, and cautiously entered the
yard of a decent farm house,peering about
them to see that Towser did not come sud-
denly around a corner. They knocked on
the front door; no response. At the side
door; no answer. They went in. There
was not a soul at home. Atable spread
and on most substantial meal was before
them. It was like a dream from the “Aru-
bian Nights.” The dinner was doubtless
awaiting the return of the family from church
The pedestrians fell to, and their knives and
forks soon smoked with the friction of execu-
tion.

As they were finishing the feustaknoék
was heard. Bruce went to the door. There
stood two tramps who asked for something
to eat. Bruce, in a rare spirit of mischief
questioned them closely in regardto their
travels, and finally asked them if they would
chop wood for their dinner. They answered
yes. He then took them to a wood pile in
the rear of the house, and they went to
work. Bruce and Flood, filling their pock-
ets with victuals, stole out the side way
from the house, and went to a neighboring
hill, where they had a full view of the wood
pile and the toilng tramps. There they
gloated over the picture. The owner and
two stalwart sons, arrived on the scene, the
devastation, of the dinner was discovered,
and the two sweating tramps at the wood
pile were seized as the depredators. All
Was seen by the two on the hill, from the
arrival of the family to the ignominious
expulsion of the wood minim—Indianapolis

Bon Ixonnsonr. AND “THE SWEET BY AND
Bv.”—Col. Bob Ingersoll and his wife sat
near me in a theatre at Washington the other
day. The latter is a handsome, matrouly
woman, and a happy looking mother. On
the other side were two fine, healthy looking
girls, said by my informant to be -the two
daughters, one of whom is rather proud of
telling that she has never been to church.
These were the flrstIreal live, infidels I had
ever seen, and compared with some of the
sour-visaged, dyspeptic looking preachers I
know, with drooping dismal wives, this
family of handsome. cheerful, happy-faced
free-thinkers certainly seem to be having the
best of it in this world, whatever may be—
come of them in the next. When Lotta
sang “The Sweet By and By” in awayso
touching that a good many susceptible peo-
ple found themselves unconsciously shedding
tears, I glanced toward Col. Ingersoll, whose
fine features were not free from emotion,
and was glad to think that a breeze from the
“Beautiful shores had been wafted to him.”
He cleared his throat hastily, and, leaning
over to an acquaintance who had been
snifiing audibly, said brusquely, “Why,man,
what are you crying about just now !"
“Nonsense,” said the stout gentleman ad-
dressed. “I wasn’t crying, the light hurts
my eyes.” “Ah,” said Col. Ingersoll,thought-
fully, “Is not it stange that a man is asham-
ed of doing what is good, and not ashamed
of what is bad ?”—G'or. of Springfield Re-
publt‘can.

How a Tnomsoxvrnnr. PHYSICIAN Conan
run 0mm Harem—A Thompsonville physi-
cian who has taken opium ten years, has ef-
fected a cure by the tapering of! system,
which he considers the only eflleient means
for curing the habit. He says: at the time
I commenced the cure I was in the habit of
taking doses of. half a grain four times a
day. I generally mixed the medicine in an
eight-ounce bottle, adding half a drachhl
(thirty grains) to each bottle. I took a tea-
spoonful at a dose, and as this contains
about one drachm.I there foretook four grains
of the salt daily. I began the cure by ad-
ding to the first bottle twenty-nine grains of
the salt, instead of thirty grains. This hot-
tleful lasted me about ten days; therefore
there was consumed that length of time al-
lowing the system to adapt itself to the in—
finitesimel change of dose. The next bot-
tleful contained twenty-eight grains, and so
on, being a decrement of one grain every
ten days. This course I continued, the sys-
tem not appreciating the change, till I had
exhausted the dose. I give this as an ex-
ample of the only method by which the
opium habit can be eradicated. I have since
cured several cases, some of them taking as‘
much as to two and four grains" at a dose,
while one patient took ten grains at a dose,
and four of these in twenty-four hours.
He had taking morphine for nineteen years.
In this latter case I so graduated the decre-
ment of doses as to exhaust the whole bottle
in ten months. I do not think thatany pat-
ient,at least who has been taking it for any
great. length of time, can gctcured under

 

 

six or eight months.
