Vanish at last, and solemn night advances,
Ah, couldst thou yet a little longer stay!

A Glimpse of Westminster.
DEAR GAZETTE :—A certain friend of mine
has requested me to describe Westminster
Abbey to you. I yearn to oblige my friend,
but I feel that the task of Atlas was play in
comparison with this, and that you are going
to bevery much imposed upon if I try.
However, past experience has proved
you to be long suffering indeed, and if I
come across any quotations I shall make
other people do my work for me. Atlas
tried to do that, didn't he ? when old Her—
cules came along and asked him to find cer-
tain apples of gold for him, but let me not
try to be classic! I have unearthed Baedeker
and Bradshaw from a closet where they have
lain covered with dust, neglect and blankets
ever since we began to unpack. Ah, Baede-
her, my heart leaps at sight of your bright
red cover ! In a world of wonder you 'Were
my familiar friend. Come to my rescue
now i
We were so fortunate as to have fine
weather during our two visits to London.
The first time I saw Westminster we were
fresh and un-travelworn. You must be fa—
miliar from photographs with its two square
towers and with its situation nearthe Houses
of Parliament. The second time we visited
Westminster we had become familiar with
some of the most famous cathedrals of the
world. Many of them more beautiful it is
true, but none of them so full of heart, in—
terest, so dear, I am sure, to people who.
speak and love the English tongue.
The church is in the form of a Latin cross,
the towers, which Bae‘dekcr calls incongru-
ous, were built by Sir Christopher Wren. It
has been rebuilt over and over again from
very early times and has been restored. We
first entered by the door in the south transept
and found ourselves in the Poet’s Corner. I
cannot describe to you the beauty of the in-
terior of that rare old Abbey. If you love
a gothic cathedral as I do you know the ex—
quisite pleasure . the eye feels in following
the lines of the high arches as they spring
from the floor at your feet and carry you
far above everything earthly. ’
The light falls softly through illuminated
windows and the whole church is filled with
silent marble figures. Tombs line the walls
and fill the chapels. The names of the dead
are engraved upon the stones beneath one’s
feet; names,some of which have blessed the
the world. I never shall forget the morning.
I first stood in the Poet’s Corner and looked
around for the names I knew I should- find
there—Addison, Macaulay, Thackeray, there
is a fine bust of the latter; Goldsmith, and
Shakspeare, John Milton, Spenser, Dryden—
monuments, most of them figures and busts
of these, England's glorious children. There
is an old, crumbling tomb near by to “Ye
poet Chaucer" and on the floor of the Poet’s
Corner is a slab bearing the name of Charles
Dickens. ,
From the Poet‘s Corner we turned towards
the right and were shown the royal tombs in
the chapel, by a verger, and the tombs of the
nobility of anland. Some of them broken
and crumbling, some amusing enough in de—
sign and inscription. There were efilgies of
dead and gone nobility, in curious costumes.
carved in marble and painted. We saw the
stately tombs of Elizabeth and Mary Queen of
Scots. I suppose there is no chapel in the
world more beautiful than that of Henry
VII, containing the tomb of that monarch.
The ceiling is richly ornamented with beau-
ful fan tracery; the choir-stalls in dark oak
are exquisitely carved, each stall is appro;
printed to a Knight of the Order of the Bath,
and each seat bears the armorial bearings of
its occupant, in brass, and above each are a
sword and banner.
I cannot give you any idea of the beauty
of a fan" tracery ceiling; it is like delicate,
hanging lace work in stoue. Beautiful as
this chapel is we were not allowed to linger,
but were hurried on to others. There is a
large medieeval shrine to Edward the Confes-
sor, the founder or establisher of the Abbey.
This tomb has been much injured inc, times
past by relic hunters. .
In enact the chapels there is a curious
tomb to some noble child in the shape of a
quaint marble cradle with a baby in it.
One of the most interesting of all the
monuments is the one to ‘Miss Siddons. It
is a marble statue ‘of the famous actress her—
self in the character of Lady Macbeth. It
is full of nobility and beautyaud‘ deserves to
have a place among the royal tombs. From
the chapels you wander through the aisles of
the church and. study the monuments on
either side. Sir Isaac Newtou has an astro~
nominal tomb. Some one has placed a wreath
of American Autumn leaves over the tomb
of Major Andre, and the inscription does not
tell how he met his death, but only that he
was beloved and refiiected by friend and foe;
There are tombs to Dr. Watts, John and
Charles Wesley, audio one old gentleman by
the name of Wragg. if I remember, who de—
served all honor and a tomb in England's
burial place of heroes because he was loyal
to her during our Revolutionary war.
But I must not attempt mentioning to you
all the celebrated names that are honored and
that honor the rare old church. From the
glory of them all, from the memories and
emotions that crowd upon you in this “Tem-
ble of Fame” you shall go out into the damp
gloom of the beautiful Cloisters,'which date
from the 11th to the 14th century. Here you
shall pace slowly along gazing at the patch
of green grass about which this covered walk
runs. You are glancing through mouldering
gothic arches about which the ivy clings.
Here ponder like a monk of old, while the
irreverent. inscription on the tomb of the
poet John Guy. with which you have just
been struck runs through your mind in spite
of you : ‘ ’
“Life is a jest, and all things show it._
i thought so once,but now I knew it."
Yours, CYNTHY.

" Convict Labor.
The interstate , committee of legislators
who have been considering the various pha—
ass of convict labor, adjourned on Thursday,
with the assurance to the public that they
would present to their several legislatures the
facts they had gathered, with a view to the
remedy of existing evils. The prevailing
system of hiring out convicts to the highest
bidder, was the principal subject of discus?
sion, and the points given in the order under
which the Massachusetts committee was ap-é’
pointed, published in'yesterda‘y's Herald, in-
dicate the various questions at issue. With
one exception they refer exclusively to the
economic interests of the community, but
the exception alluded to has an ethical im—
portance that should not be hidden by mate-
prosperity and security to a degree that legis-
lators never seem to realize. We refer to the
question of the effect of contract labor upon-
the reformation of the convict. Most of our
penal institutions are professedly reformato—
ry. The statement may provoke a smile on
the‘strength of what observing men know of
the moral condition of discharged convicts;
but law and sentiment assert the theory. If
they did not, our system of punishment would
not be a whit in advancc'of' the ways of the
barbarous nations of two centuries ago.
What are the reformatory influences pro-
vided by a State for the benefit of its (crimi-
nals? Punishment always, generally fa
chaplain and sometimes a library:onl°y
these, and nothing more. What are the
influences, besides the perverted nature of
the prisoners, that oppose these ? A great
many, but in many Statesth'e’worstfis the
contract labor system, by which the men are
placed practically, body and soul, under the
control of contractors who consider them-
selves charged only with the duty of getting
the greatest possible quantity of labor for
the smallest possible pay. The mechanic or
laboring man in the city, with every incen-
tive that love and necessity can offer, is sel—
dom or never seen to work as hard as the
inmates of many a- prison are compelled to
do, yet the latter has absolutely no recrea—
tion or relaxation but what he gets from
food and sleep, while all his surroundings
tends to lessen his laboring capacity by de-
pressing his spirits. Acontractor determines
how.much per day a man should do of a
certain kind of wo;k,and the rule is uniform,
regardless of the condition of the prisoner,
provided he is not excused on account of
sickness. If the work is not done the
prisoner must be punished—not for his own
good, not for an actual offence, not for the
that' the contractor shall not suffer a few
cents in pocket. If a more brutalizing sys-
tem has ever existed in penal institutions
history has kept silence about it. For nearly
a quarter of a century the civilized world has
sorrowed over the’ prison sufferings of Jen
Valjean, who went into jail at tender-hearted
youth and emerged a hardened criminal, but
many a New York convict suffers more se—
verely and unnecessarily than the hero of
“Les Miserables.” ' d
What is the economic result of this sub—
mission of the State to contractors, and the
consequent intensifying‘of every bad habit
of the convict, is not hard to imagine. The
loss to which a professional criminal sub—.
jects the State cannot be made good by the
labor of half a dozen honest men, for the
but a small part of the total. Many of them
leave families d paupers behind them, while
every one of them who lives by his profession
wastes many times as much as he uses. A
pickpocket steals a watch worth two hundred
dollars and sells it for twenty; a burglar gets
for his share of 9. house robbery about one-
teuth as much as will have to be expended
in replacing the stolen articles. The com—
munity loses at this rate by many a rascal
who might have been reformed in prison had
not an itch for the semblance of economy
turned the man over to a set of taskmasters
whose ,system would ruin any honest me-
chanic and can do nothing for a bad man but‘
make him worse—Herald.
The Telegraph Monopoly.
While exceedingly aggravating, just at
present, the fierce-opposition on the part of
the Western Union Telegraph company of
the erection of the American Union comp-
ny’s wires in the long run will prove of ex-
cellent service to the latter corporatiOn. The
business world is thoroughly tired of paying
fancy prices to a telegraph monopoly. and
looks forward to the erection of a competing
line ver'y joyfully, as a sure guarantee that
telegraph tolls will come‘ down. Had the
work of building been permitted to go on
undisturbed the majority of people—forget—
ting their obligation to the new company—
would have continued to patronize the old
company merely from force of habit, since
both companies would have been Working
at the same low rates. There would have
been statesmanship, therefore, in a passive
acceptance of the inevitable, and by follow-
ing such a course the best of a bad bargain
would have been made. -But; by the most
unseemly opposition that ithiis manifested
royally advertised its 'enemy and has
besides, stirred up a warm popular
sympathy in its behalf. The average
American likes to see fair play, and the
average American is .very sure that fair
play is about the last thing that has been
conspicuous in this telegraph war. It is go-
ing too far, perhaps, to urge that positively
foul play has been attempted; but it is cer-
tain that the majority of people believe that
the employee of ' the Western Union compa-
ny, acting under orders from their officers,
are the persons guilty of cutting down the
American Union company's peles. While
there may be nofoundation for-this belief,
the whole history of; the fightsince the new
line started gives to it a colorsble‘ probabil-
ity; and in a case of this':sort,‘"‘where the
trial is not legal .but popular,.a7réasonable
presumption of guilt'is ample to secure con-
viciion. The end of the struggle will be
that the new line, instead ‘of gaining its busi-
ness slowly, and even then gaining but a
Very small part of the business 'of; its rival,
will start into existence with‘a paying busi-

A Terrible Battle.
LONDON. Dec. 9-41utelligence received at
the Montenegrius and Albanians was the
of the war. Not less than 1,500 troops are
reported killed and a vast additional number
wounded.- The fight was fought in the bit-
terest possible spirit, no quarter being given
on either side. The troops exposed them—
selves recklessly, disdaining in many cases
to avail themselves of the cover which the
mopntaiuous region offered on almost all
sides. The scene, when hostilities closed
for the day, was frightful. The ground was
strewn with the slain, and wagons are still
employed night and day carrying of! the dead
for hasty burial and the wounded into im-,
provised hospitals. The terrible fighting
abilities of the warlike Albanians were
brought out with great effect, while their
enemies were scarcely behind them in valor
or dash. It is expected later reports will
rather increase than diminish the list of losses
on both sides. .. 4

@330 Mr, Buggies made his first report to the
EState Legislature on the probable growth of
fthe agricultural products of the country.
EHis figures were then regarded as visionary,
:but as a matter of fact the cereals produced
{in the country have amounted to ten times
ithe quantity which he had predicted Would
be raised.
The great problem, Mr. Buggies says is
Efor statesmen. to devise adequate methods
:by which seventy years hence America may
.Ebe able to feed the 570,000,000 people who
Ewill then inhabit Europe and this country.
EIt can be done, he thinks, provided the rail-
road and canals are managed with wisdom
'so that the products of the Great West
'can ' be transported cheaply, safely and
5quickly to ‘the seaboard where they can be
Eshipped to Europe. England is alarmed at
'the inroads of cheap wholesome American

'men complain of the cheapness of our cereals;
:their tenants are unable to sell their wheat
and corn at prices that will enable them to
pay high rents to the wealthy land owners.
Cheap American products are driving the
home products from the-markets, and are
making the tenant and land owner alike de- .

Mr. Ruggies attended the sessions of the

to have been decided. immediately, but
finally Mr. Buggies was given five minutes
in which to reply, and the five statements
w 'ch he made in that time induced the as-

matter untilfnext year. A committee was,
appointed tolook into the merits of the
question, Mr. Ruggles asked that action be
delayed until Secretary Sherman could have

The Salisbury Mines.
The New York, World recently.contained
the following article on the Salisbury iron
region of Connecticut: "‘In the northwest
corner of Litchfield county, in the town of
Salisbury, are found the Old Hill, Davis and
Chatfield inines,‘ front which the Salisbury
charcoal pig iron is made. The first blast
furnacsin the region, and it is supposed the
first in the State of Connecticut, was built
in the year 1762, and by no less distinguished
a person than Ethan Allen of Ticonderoga
fame, in what is now known as the village
of Lakeville. In tbfyear 1758 it was’sold to
an English gentleman named Richard Smith,
.and by him successfully run till the breaking
out of the war of the Revolution. Mr. Smith _
‘being a .royalist, left the country, and :the
works were t-iken possession of by the State,
and it proceeded to manufacture cannon,balls
and shells for the provisional government.
The severe tests applied to these guns improv-
ing them established a character for Salis—
bury iron which has not yet been surpassed
by any iron made elsewhere in _ the_eouutry.
The "government ships Constellation, Commo-
dore Truxton‘,and the Constitution (Old Iron-‘
sides) and the batteries in and around New
York were armed with the Salisbury cannon,
and there is no proof that any of them ever
failed. In the war of 1812 and 1815 the Sal-
isbury cannon was ‘still in use, and‘in the
' World’s own time one of the cannon furnaces
furnished a large quantity of iron from which
the celebrated ‘ Parrott rifled. cannon were
made.- ' ‘ “ ' '
The old furnaces were continued in use
till the year 1810, when others were erected,
and they have from time to time given place
to others till the perfected works now owned
and managed by the Barnum : Richardson
company took their places. At present
there are eight furnaces making exclusively
Salisbury iron—three at Canaan, one at Lime
Rock, one at Huntsville, one at Sharon Vale
ley,one at Cornwall Bridge and one atZMiller-
ton. The United States government having
furnished vessels for sending the ’ exhibit
from the United States to . the last Paris
universal exhibition the old man-of-war
Constitution was sent as one, and on its re—’
turn brought back the album, wherein" is
noted with pride that the first guns of Old
Irousides and which did good service in the
naval war with England, were made of Salis-
bury iron and at Salisbury, Conn.
The Naughty Girls.
[Letter by a Southern Girldo. the Clarksvulc
Team, Chronicle.) ’- ' ‘ ‘
Some of the girls here are awful flirts.
They leave us Southern girls in the shade.
They have what they call “street corner
flirting". “hundkerchief flirting," and num-
berless other kinds of which I know nothing. -
One evening I was on our front piazza about
dusk, and looking across our street corner I,
saw two elegant and stylish men on the corner
waiting for‘a car,I suppose. ' Along came
two real nice, pretty looking girls, and just
in front of the gents one of' them dropped
her handkerchief. Of course, one of them
very gallantly picked it ,up, returned it to
her, introduced himself and friend, she
doing thesame seemingly. An animated con-
versation ensued for quite a while, and after
chatting and laughing, off ,they moved and
were lost to sight.- I was perfectly wonder
stricen and asked information of 1a friend who
saw the thing, when he laughed and said
~thst it was of common occurrence here, and
was called handkerchief flirtation. Since
then I' have seen so much in the same line
that it has become common,- aud' does not
strike me so forcibly now. A'stkee girl
never speaks of her lover . as "'my sweet—
heart." It is “my fellow," and sometimes
(“my nobby duck.” I was exceedingly amus-
‘ed when I heard the latter. Really, the
Northern men are nobby (by which they
mean nice,) and are extremely neatin their
dress and appearame. Nearly all of them
rig upin the height of the fashion. and are as
fond of dress as the girls.

Grant’s Trip Around the World.
A DETAILED HISTORY OF THE JOURNEY.
Gen. Grant,with his wife and his elder son
left Philadelphia to begin his tour of the
world on the 17th of May, 1877, on'board'the.
steamship Indian, of the American Steam—
ship Company’s line, and arrived in Liver-
pool on the 28th, having made the passage
in eleven days._ From Liverpool he went to
London,and dined with the Duke of Welling-
ton on the 2d of June. During his stay in
England the General was honored with an
invitation to dine with Queen_Victoria at
Windsor Castle. 'The invitation having been
given and accepted in due form, at half-past
eight o'clock ‘on the 26th of . J use, 1377, the
Queen, surrounded by her Court, received
Gen. Grant in the magnificent corridor lead-
ing to her private apartments in the Quad—l
magic. The dinner was served in the Oak
Room. Among those present. were-[Prince
Leopold, Prince Christian, Princess Beatrice,,
Lord and Lady Derby, the Duchess of Wel-
lington, Gen. Badeau and others. After din-
ner the Queen entered into conversation with.
the party, and about ten o'clock took her
leave, followed by her suite. The next morn-
ing the General and party returned to Lon-
don, and for some days afterwards received
the most flattering attentions from’ the nobil-
ity and the statesmen of the kingdom. On
the 26th of July the General and his. party
arrived'iu Geneva, Switzerland.‘ He aftera‘
wards crossed the Simplon pass, made the
tour of the northern. part Of Italy and re—
turned to Ragatz “by the 14th of August.
Thence he made ‘a flying trjp through Alsace
and Lorraine. Returning toEngland the Gen-
eral, on the 5th of J uly, left. London for Os-
tend, where King Leopold tendered the party
the use of the royal car to Brussels. On
their way they stopped and examined the
principal places of interest at Ghent. 0n
the “(that July, King Leopold of Belgium
called on Gen. Grant at his hotel and had a
long_conversation with him. The visit was
returned the next day at the palace. The
err-Presidential party arrived at Palermo,
they spent Ch‘nas and dined on board the
United States ship Vandalia. On the morn—
ing of January 19, 1878, the General and his
companions entered Siout, Egypt, and were
welcomed by the American Vice Consul and
his son. From Egypt the General proceeded
by ship to Jaifa, on the Mediterraneap, and
thence made the tour of the Holy Land.
After a trip full of pleasant and compliment-
ary incidents, he embarked froin chrout, in‘
Syria, for Constantinople,'aud arrived there
immediately after- the treatyof San Stefano,
which ended; the ‘late Russo—Turkish war.
Then he proceeded to European Turkey, and
arrived at Stamboul on the 5th ‘of March,
1878, where he was'received by the diplo-
matic representatives of the United States.
In the latter part of March,Gen. Grant sailed
for Italy, arriving in Rome ' soon 'after the
election of Leo XIII, to 'thc Pontificate.
Having visited the principal cities of Italy,‘
the Grant party left for France and .arrived
in Paris on. the 7th of May, and thence soon
after‘left for Holland. From Holland the
party went to Germany, arriving in Berlin on
'the 26th of June, when they were met by the
late Minister, Bayard Taylor. The General
reached Hamburg by rail on July 2, when
followed his tour through Denmark, Sweden
and Norway. At the last of themonth the
party crossed the-Ifiltic from Stockholm to
St. Petersburg. After a visit to the principal
cities of Russia and a visit to Poland, Gen.
Grant reached Vienna, Austria, on the 18th
of August; thence he proceeded to Switzer-
land .and thence through- southern "France,
and finally to Spain. The‘ ex-President and
his party arrived at Vittoria ,ou the 16th of
October, 1878, having entered Spain from
France via Bayonne, and was received by
Senor Castelar, ex-President of the Spanish
Republic, and subsequently by King Alfonzo.
In December the party was still: in Spain and
Portugal. In January of the present year
the General and party visited Ireland, and
returned thence to Paris. On the 24th he
embarked at Marseilles for Bombay, India,
where he arrived on the 12th of February.
Gen. Grant's visit to India was marked by
the attention and respect shown him every-
where by the nativc officials and the English
rulers. In Calcutta, where he arrived on the
10th of March, he .was received bya guard
of honor and an aid-deic‘amp cf the Viceroy.
At a state dinner given in the evening, Lord
L'ytton, in an eloquent speech, proposed a
toast to their distinguished guest. All the
notables of India were present. After din-
ner the general received many native gentle-
men and princes. On the 17th the General
proceeded to Burmah and thence to China.
At Bangkok Gen. Grant received a letter
from melting of Siam inviting him ‘to' visit
that kingdom as the guest of the Govern;-
ment. The letter was encased in royal pur-'
pie satin. The'pai‘t‘y‘arrived at‘Hon‘g‘ Kong",
China, on the evening of April 30. The
ship was boarded by ynitedHStates Consuls
of "citizens of various countries, includiiig‘
Japan. Thcparty was received at Canton
on May 0th, by the Consular officials and;
conducted to the Viceroy’s residence. They
left. Ho'n'g Kong for the. North ' of? China on?

was arranged1 for him in the great 'hail of the
Kohu Dai Gaku. No efiort‘was spared by
the Japanese authorities to make his stay in
that country agreeable and varied —in_‘all its
phases. A special and highly cemplimentary
feature of Gen. Grant's visit to China was his
conversation with Li Hung: Chang, Viceroy,

Now we’re. seated, all is, ready,
So be silent, firm, and steady.
Never mind, it is no matter}.
If your teeth do clash and clatter
They are wisdom-teeth that chatter
When a true ghost story rises,
Filling us with new surprises.
On the beach that lies before ye
Is the scene of my ghost story,
And it came to pass in Ju-ly,
“Sure it‘s eggs is eggs" and truly.
Well, it. really makes me shudder
When I think in what a puddcr
That samc'night my nerves went jumping,
And my heart kept loiidly thumping.
Dcaryime .' let’s all sit snugger,
In a general kind of hugger, .
So if any sprite should bump us, '
We‘ll together share the rumpus.
I’m a sleepless kind of fellow;
Moonlight always makes me mellow;
And I like to walk when people
Are as silent as a steeple '
' Where the bell-rope has been rended ' '
Twenty years, and can’t be mended.
So, last month, when all was stilly—
Midnight, moonlight, nothing chilly-
From our hill—top I descended,
And by “Masconomo” wended,
Overhead the stars ceased swinging ;—
UnderfoOt the beach stopped singing;
Not a mollusk then was stirring;
Not a fairy-puss was purring ;
Not a love—'siCk periwinklc
His guitar took o‘ut’t’o tinkle;
' All the Sirens, silver ' dripping,
Into amber eaves were slipping;
-Eveu Neptune, that old schemcr,
Ventured to become a’dreamer—
Eyerything and everybody
Passed into the‘land of Neddy'.
I began to feel a little creepy,
Tlflnking of a world so sleepy;
Still I kept'on, walking, walking,
‘ Sometimesto myself low talking,
Sometimes softo coca chanting .
Songs like Shelley’s, that come haunti
. All our fresh awakened .senses ?
With their lovely moods and tenses.
Tennyson I sang and shouted;
Longfellgw’s brave wordsI spouted;
Homer, with his grand emotion,
How I thundered to the ocean!
All the bardsseemed .there assembled, a
As alone I walked and trembled. 4

Still-I trudged alone, and listened

' Soonmy hair began to bristle,
4 And I tried in vain to whistle.
Could it be a ghost invidious,
Moving on with step insidious,
Bent on helpless man’s destruction,
Like a vampire full'of suction ?
. Should I-run ?—.that was the question. -
Perish such a base suggestion l
. No! because my limbs rheumatic
Banished feats on land aquatic.
. Should I boldly face the danger,
. And regard the little stranger ?
Sure that form is nothing human—
, But a pigmy faery woman!
N ow the figure ceases motion,
Gazing out upon the ocean.
What a pair of eyes to look on i ,
What an arm for love to hook on i '
.Oh, what golden ringlets rippled!
Mouth where spirits might havc'_tippled,
And become inebriated, '
Kissing oft but never sated!

Pinky toes in foam beds laying
