The Appeal!
WILLIAM R. wnrra.
“All quiet along the Potomac,” they say.
No “Boy in the Blue" is on guard there to—
day-
For the grsy-coated soldier has yielded the
fight, _
And the Angel of Peace reigns supreme In
the right.
Yes—quiet it is to the hero who sleeps
On the banks of the river that placidly'
creeps
Through the “Valley of death,” where his
glorified blood
_Enriches the soil and is lost in the flood.
0d “Libby” is slim t, her walls do not close
Round the starving who fell a prey to their
foes ;
And the thirsty, entrcating for water to drink,
For they. with the woes, _crossed the dark
river‘s brink. '
A‘i quiet at home, and as serene as the stars
Is the circle that knows not the wounds and
the scars
That the demon of War with his sceptre has
left
On the widow in mourning and the ophan
bereft I
All quiet, you say, along the whole line '1’
Not so, in the land of the palm and the
pine—-
For rebel yells, mingled with Democracy’s
cheers,
Break the stillness of peace and a rouses our
fears!
The “boy in the gray,” with his standard in
hand,
Recruiting brigades at Wade Hampton’s
command,
Is quickening the South from centre to sea
To arm in the name of her Jackson and Lee.
Remember the men who poured forth their
life,“blood”
0n thes oil you now tread,and where comrades
once stood, .
Is the rallying cry South; be it ours as well.
For liberty’s sons for the Union there fell!
Abandon not now to the stern hand of fate
Those martyrs for truth and humanity’s sake,
By deserting the ranks while the rebels are
nigh =
For the cause they espouse to
die.
’Tis the grief-stricken widow appealing to
you,
And the orphan as well of a brave “Boy in
Blue,” -
To forget not the cause for which

WEST STRATFORD.
[Deferred from last week]
George McClellan, a young man who re-
sides in this place, was seriously. injured on
Thursday last, by an explosion which occur-
red in the Cartridge Shop, where he was em-
played.
Last Sunday afternoon religious services
were held in the large tent belonging to W. >
H. Mills. The meeting was conducted by
Mrs..M. C. Smith, of the Bridgeport Faith ‘
Mission, and was largely attended.
A peach festival was held in the Summer-
field school house on the 24th; the proceeds
were applied to the school bell’fund.
John Rock, an old and respected citizen of
this place, died on Wednesday last, after a
short but severe illness. He will be missed
by a great many who remember him for his
genial manners and his strict integrity.
Our Republican friends have raised suffi-
cient money to purchase a campaign banner,
and as soon as it can be made, intend to
swing it out with appropriate ceremonies.
We’ met a gentleman from Norwalk, in
this place, on Saturday last,and judging from
his accounts the Kinney Democratic club, of
South Norwalk, is not growing very fast.
Moral, don’t agree to furnish goods till you
are sure you can deliver them.
The second of the series of meetings being
held here by the Garfield and Arthur club
will take place to—morrow evening; a good
time is expected.
“Mules” have made their appearance in
this place—well, Stratford people don’t pro-
pose to be frightened by them.
We have often-heard -a facetious remark
made, to wit, “So goes StratiOrd so goes the
Union.” If that saying is verified this Fall,
General W. S. Hancock will not be the next
president.
We also hear considerable said about the
resolutions of ’98; our advice to all voters is
to procure a copy and study it- well, and see
what they mean, then, if you uphold the
doctrine as taught by them, vote for Han-
cock. If you believe the heresy of State
rights was a snare and a delusion, which
four long years of bloody war buried forever,
vote for Garfield. If you believe the doc-
trine of nullificatton, as taught by John C.
Calhoun and other eminent democratic lights.
should be kept in its grave, vote for Garfield.
If you believe the doctrine of squatter sov-
ereignty, the Dred ScOtt decision and the
Fugitive Slave Law are also buried, you can
keep them forever in their graves by voting
to continue the Republican party in p'oWer.
The Democratic party stands before the
country to-day without one living issue. We
defy any one to point us to.one fixed princi-
ple, unless it may bethat of an insatiable
greed for ofiice—a desire for a “change."
They tell us that we have been in power long
enough, that a “change" would be for the
best interests of the country. Gentlemen,
that is “too thin,” you have been crying
“change” for the last twenty years. Show
by your works that your party is worthy of
support, and then, perchance,the people will
trust you. Till you do we believe you are
destined to keep back seats. W.
He Couldn’t Stand ‘11.
Wasmxorox, Aug. 21.—Recently the
Democrats of this locality were made happy
by the conversion to their faith of an ex—
Union Army ofilcer, a protege and friend of
General Grant. The officer had fallen into
bad habits, and, although a man of good
natural abilities, had lost his business and
become very much reduced. He tried to
get a position-in one of the departments here,
but his habits were against him. and he was
unsuccessful. Hence he became an. adecate
of Hancock and a change. Yesterday he
reappeared among his old Republican friends
and announced his re-converslou to a belief
in Republican principles.
“I couldn’t stand it,” he said. “A short
time since we had a little private meeting.
and I was the only loyal man in the room.
Dr. Hamilton, the man who named his son
after Wilkes Booth, spoke, and said: ‘Just
wait until the Hancock inaug procession
starts for the Capitol and we' show ’em
what a rebel yell is.’ ‘Look here,’ said I; I
am a loyal man, and I've had all I want of
the Democracy already.’ ”-—-Trt'bune.
Sunday Schools and Churches.
In the wilderness region of Kentuckymear
the Cumberland River, where are few public
roads, a resort for hunters of bears, deer and
' wild turkeys, but where was no church or
Sunday school, a missionary of the American
Sunday School Union organized a Sunday
school in the spring of 1877, and gave it all
the help he could. From a' district of miles
around old and young flocked to it. deeply
interested. ,,,.
- Inabout a year a minister writ to them
and preached Christ, and his preitching. fol.
lowing up the Sunday schoOl-tehching, was
blessed by the Spirit, and somevgforty-five
persons professed faith in Christ. A church
was organized, and a house built for it, and
it is now the centreof religious attraction
for the people of the region.

Practical Men.
Massns. EnrroRa.—-
There is nothing within the domain of hu-
man'experienee so obtrusive and offensive to
the practical man as learned ignorance, save,
perhaps, the upstart conceitedness of some
persons, who, by accident of wealth, politi-
cal influence, suppositious knowledge, or
some other extraneous force, find themselves
elevated to positions of influence that can
never be properly filled except by men who
have a thoroughly practical knowledge of
the work to be done. If there is a position
to be filled requiring an absolute knowledge
, of the work in hand, the chances are that
twenty place—seekers, backed by recom-
mendations from persOnal friends as
incompetent. as themselves, will be found
set-king it, to where there will be found one
competent person who may stand the “ghost
of achance." The trouble is the world is
cursed by a superabundance of well-dressed
public paupers, and unweaned but grown-up
babies, too respectable to labor, to lazy to
learn except by force of circumstances, and
altogether too useless to be noticed in the
general economy of practical life were it not
that they are eternally in the way of being
run over by better men. That a man has re-
ceived a classical education, and can “chop
logic" with a theoretical hatchet, is no evi—
dence that he can construct a locomotive or
build a State house. He may be able to
evolve wonderful theories of constructial
science, which stand well on paper. but serv-
ing no other purpose than to fool the next
adventurer in search of “book learning.”
Book learning may be all right in its place,
but its place is seldom found in the great
conflict with the stern necessities of life, ex
cept in the capacity of a subordinate. All
progress must necessarily be evolved from
the inner consiousness of the individual.
Every true mechanic must necessarily be
eminently practical in all that he undertakes.
There is no place in all the range of his ex-
perience for mere speculative theories,except
as assistants in the demonstration of practi—
cal results. He is too undemonstrative, as a
rule, to court the applause of the world, but
it is a part of his experience to see learned
egotism masquerading in ideas evolved from
his more modest but more useful brain. The
professional man has him at a great disad-
vantage so far as pecuniary results are con-
cerned. Mankind worships more false gods
than real ones. The D. D. can load his theo-
logical cannon with the powder and ball of
theory, and knock over a whole regiment of
hypothetical devils at long range, and gain
theapplause of unthinking ignorance, but
the true mechanic must demonstrate and
prove everything he undertakes, and when
he has accomplished that he is “no great
shakes.’ after all. The M. D. may be (and no
doubt he is) a useful appendage to the kite
of society. The nature of his profession
is such that it affords him a vast field for the
evolution of undemonstrated theories, some
of which may accidentally prove correct;
however to make up what is lacking in true
knowledge and gain the applause of his
patrons, he can load his theoretical blunder—
buss with medicated small shot (very small
indeed) and fire away at a pathological hypo-
thesis and be called the best doctor in town
and at the same time be in league with the
devil and the undertaker.
The lawyer—well, what shall we say—let
the cuss rest. The ministers say it is a
“fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God,” but whoever may have fallen
into the hands of a living lawyer never need
look for anything worse here or hereafter.
‘ Shun him as the devil would holy water for
your salvation is depending upon it. The
world's estimate of a great man, as a rule, is
based on the amount of dry rubbish the in—
dividual may have stored away in his crani—
um; a repository of literary antiquities,
which can be well compared to a child’s rat—
tle box, as the only purpose which it serves
seems to be that of a mental toy which,when
well shaken proves a source of great amuse—
ment to that very numerous class who prefer
their thoughts ready-made for them raher
than risk the fatigue of the slightest mental
exertion. Such men, by the unthinking, are
accounted philosophers and leaders, but
when seen through the sparkling lenses of
practibility they are the cowardly, trashy
camp followers of the grand army of pro-
gress. All inventors and reformers have
been looked upon as devils, at the start, for
the reason that they disturb the quietude of
the great unthinking class. The practical
mechanic and the reformer never turn their
eyes to the rear, except it be to avoid the
errors others have committed. “Front face”
is the order of the day with every true friend
of human progress. The divine light that
guides humanity in all forward movements
is always in the front, and never in the rear.
The genius of progress never marches back—
wards, or lumbers itself up with old and use-
less guideboards, but it is the misfortune of
fossilized conservatism to overburden itself
with inconsequentxubbisb, and the ponder-
ous ponderosz'ty of its own conceit. It always
gets run over by the advancing hosts of free-
dom and is consistent in nothing but its own
inconsistency in laying claim to all the hon-
ors and emoluments, all of which it generally
receives. T. H. G.

Fighting Sewage Gas.
A Philadelphia inventor has taken a step
forward in the warfare against ,sewer gas
which promises to be valuable. He has ad—
ded a mercury seal to the ordinary water
trap connected with drain pipes of all kinds.
The outlet pipe has a trough around it
charged with quicksilvUT. A cap fits snugly
over the pipe, and is surrounded by flanges
which dip into the mercury, and thus form
a tight seal. The cap is so attached to the
water closet or basin that, by lifting the lid,
it is drawn into a side chamber and allows
free egress of the contents. By the same
movement of shutting down the lid the cap
is replaced over the outlet pipe, and its
flange submerged in the mercury, while be-
low the mercury seal the ordinary water trap
is placed, having an outlet forthe ventilating
pipe. which can be carried to the chimney
fine or roof, as convenient. Thus a double
door is raised against {the admission of dele-
terious gases into the building.
THE BACKWOODSMAN'S Warm—When a
colporteur asked a backswoodsman if he had
a Bible in his house, the man rummaged on
an upper shelf .on a cupboard until he found
»a few torn leaves of a Testament. “I declare,
stranger!" said he, “I do need some more
Bible; I did not know that we was so near
out!" What this illiterate frontiers-man put
so (roughly, is literallyvtrue of too many
Christian professors. They are sadly “out
of Bible,” and not only of that. but of all
sound devotional reading which can elevate
and invigorate the soul. Nothing will give
tone atldsinew to enfeebled' pietyiike a
thorough study of God’s Word.
Q
SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
On cutting open a beet. two series of con—
centric rings are observed, the one white and
obaque, the other clear, transparent and
colored. 1n the former the sugar is chiefly
aggregated, and in the latter, the albumen.
An experimenter, M. Baudrimont, has on-
deavored to promote the growth of one of
the other set of rings by the application of
suitable .manures. The roots were grown
on four plots of land : one of , these was
treated with water, the rest in order with
solutions of bicarbonate of ammonia, bicar-
bonate of potash, and a mixture of these.
It was observed that the roots which had
been watered with bicarbonate of potash so-
lution, were very large and hard, and
consisted chiefly of the sugar-bearing rings;
those which had received bicarbonite of am-
monia were much softer, hollow in the cen-
tre, and had more strongly developed
albuminous rings; those treated with a mix
ture of both salts were not so hard, and
showed clear albuminous rings; while
those which had received water alone were
the strongest, and showed both kinds of rings
clearly.
In Europe and Hiudostan,according to Dr.
James Law, variola is so common in pigeons
and poultry as to constitute a veritable
plague. Thus, Guerseut records that out of
a dovecote of one thousand scarce one hun-
dred could be found that did not bear marks
of the disease, while Tytler says the poultry
yards in India were habitually depopulated
by the plague. Bechstcin and others claim
that.this is true small pox, derived from the
human being and conveyable back to man.
That this affection has not been recognized
among us may, perhaps, be due to the fact
that men and pigeons do not. live so much in
common here as in Italy and India.
Although the theory of the contagiousness
of consumption has not been widely accepted
experiments have shown that the disease may
be produced in the lower animals by inocu-
lation with tuberculous matter. .
Curious are the means of self-defense with
which animals and insects are provided. A
butterfly, when apprehending danger, never
lights on a green tree or shrub, but flies
into a clump of dead leaves, where it so ad—
justs its wings on a twig as to look exactly
like a shriveled leaf, and defies discovery by
its foe.
The influence and value of gymnastic
exercises is well illustrated by some obser-
vations by M. Marcy. With an instrument
called the pneumograph he has obtained a
record of the respiration of certain young
soldiers at the military school of Vincennes.
This shows him that after four or five months
of gymnastic training, the average number
of respirations is reduced from twenty to
to twelve a minute, and their amplitude is
more than quadrupled. It may be inferred.
therefore, that the young soldiers breathe
twice as much air as before their course of
exercise. Beginners in the course show a
considerable quickening of respiration by a
run of a third of a mile; but such a run
produces no change in the breathing of the
men who have been in training for a few
months.
Many of the sleepers used on German
railways are impregnated w'ith certain pre-
servative substances, chloride of zinc having
proved the most suitable. Experience with
sleepers of various kinds of wood has shown
that the durability of oak is increaSed, by
impregnation, from 13.6 years to 19.6 . pine,
from 7.2 to 15; fir, from 5.1 to9; beedb,
from 3 to 16.5. It will be noticed that the
preservative effect upon sleepers of beech is
remarkable, the prepared wood lasting five
and one—half timeszasilong as the untreated.
Sixty per cent. of the cases of insanity oc-
curring in France, are, according to a phy-
sician .of that country, caused by the use of
absinthe.
A rose tree of Hanover is said to be more
than a thousand years old.
The transformation of alcoholic liquors
into vinegar has long been a matter of dis—
sent. Pasteur holds that the formation of
vinegar is a physiological phenomenon caus-
ed by the vegetation of a particular bacterium
the Myeodemw aeeti, while Liebig saw in it
merely a chemical action of oxygen upon
alcohol. Recent observations are regarded
as conclusive proof of the correctness of
Pastenr’s view.
A late writer has furnished this simple
and lucid definition of space: “Space is a
real, objective, immaterial, extended, con—
tinuous, infinite, immutable, eternal, and
absolute whole of capacity to receive exten-
ded substance, existing in trine extension of
infinite depth, which is ideally divisible in
each dimension into finite wholes of locality,
all of possible forms and sizes, possessing
the relations of similarity, difference, ratio,
direction, distance, coutiguity, and con—
junctibility, and comprising units of trine
extension, surfaces, lines, and points, each of
which is infinitely divisible; trine extension
into surfaces, surfaces into lines, lines into
points, and points into infinitesimal fractions
of position, which compose the infinitude of
space, in a number which is formed by the
involution of relatively infinite number to
the seventh powrzr.
From the results of a recent calculation,
Herr Ritter concludes that the height of the
earth’s atmosphere must be about two hun-
dred miles.
Most young people—and perhaps many
“children of a larger growtb"—-have often
wondered what it is that enables a fly to
walk on the ceiling. 0An examination of the
insects mechanism quickly reveals the secret.
Each of the fly’s six legs terminates in two
or three fleshy pads, which acts as “suckers."
The sustaining effect of these suckers is ln~
creased by a sticky fluid exuded by the mi—
nute hairs covering them.
Mid—Summer.
Providence Journal.
Summer has reached its meridian. Na-
ture has put on her glorious apparel. The
clematis hangs its snowy garlands over the
shrubs that line the wayside, festoons the
moss-covered stone fences and clasps the
low tree branches with clinging tendrils.
The golden rod lines the rural roads with
brilliant coloring, swaying gracefully at the
will of the wind. The aster raises its blue
and white stars from lowly haunts among
the underbrush, or invites attention by at-
most touching the feet of the passer-by.
The ciethra lingers with fragrant breath,
though the beauty of Its inflorescence is
passing away. The wild sunflower beams in
golden glow from the thickets of surround—
ing green. The cardinal flower, clothed in
of the gurgling rivulet. The pond lily opens
its latest buds to the warm sunbeams. These
are only a few of the gifts that the ripened
summer holds in her hands, and lavishly be-
stows without demanding a thought or care
from the recipient of her treasures. This
very day, wild flowers, as numerous as the
stars of the sky. open their beautiful chalices
to the sunbeams. Their breath perfumes
the air, their colors vie with the rainbow
in tints, and their shapely forms illustrate
every line and curve of beauty, as they
stretch from sea to sea in this favored zone
of the earth's territory, Small is the number
of these darlings of nature that bless human
vision, a grain of sand on the seashore in
comparison with the infinitude that round
their fragile lives where human foot has
never trod, where human eye has never
pierced. And yet the wild flowers of the
perfected summer are but a tiny phase of the
treasures of inanimate nature, a charming
study of her marvelous riches, a proof of her
lavish generosity, an embodiment of her ar-
tistic skill and creative power.

A Political Meeting.
MR. TILDEN AND HIS BARREL.
[Burlington Hawkeyc.]
st ' I
“83:31:18. 1L1?- Tildeu, 1“assured the Gen-
, entIalIy, we are going to mak
a lively campaign of this. We will take the
offensive from the start, and we must whooe
her up.” p
“0b, yesl” said the old man, in an im-
pressive whisper, “that’s all right ; it is
whooped up now.”
And he smiled at the general as one who
should encourage another to proceed, but in
a different direction. The General echoed the
smile faintly, but hopefully, and hitched his
chair a little nearer. .
“You see,” he went on, with kindling en—
“1115188111. “1 am not much of a politician,and
have everything to learn in the management
of these things, but I know we must get
ahead of them at the start. You see ?"
“Oh yea. yes," the old man replied in a
whisper more intense than before. “01; yes.
that’s all right. We've got ahead already.
It’s headed up, too; he, he! Hooped up and
headed up; you’re right; yes, you’re all
right."
And he smiled again,a smile that he seemed
to think was full of comfort for his listener.
The General looked at him earnestly and a
little shadow of anxiety crept over his au~
swering smile.
“You understand, Mr. Tilden," he said,
presently, “that I need your advice and
friendly counsel.”
The old man bOWed again. The General
looked up more hopefully, and went on:
“You see, what I am trying to get at—-"
“Yes, yes,” chuckled the old man, eagerly.
“I know; that’s what they’re all trying to
get at; yes, yes they’re all trying to get at
it. Oh yes.”
And in the pleasant mood which seemed
to have come upon him, he made as though
he would have probed the General in the
ribs with his bony forefinger, but suddenly
drew back. The General looked worried
but returned to the charge with patient good
nature.
“I don’t want to make any bungling work
at the start," he said, “because-—”
“No, no; no, no; interrupted the old man,
earnestly, “no bungling this time; you’re
right there; it’s all right, never was banged
up tighter; a hung starter as big as a maul
wouldn’t start it; oh yes, you're right there;
no bungling this time.” I
And the General fairly started, for as he
listened, he thought he heard the old man
whisper, under his-breath, as a sort of ap-
pendix, “Not a darned bangle.” He set his
teeth hard, and looked in the old man’s half
closed eyes.
“Mr. Tilden," he said, “I will be frank and
open with you:"
“Open ?” said the old man, with an interro—
gation point on his face. “Oh, no, no.
Hooped up. Didn’t you say hoop her up,an_d
didn’t I tell you yes. it was hooped up ?- And
headed, too? Oh, no, not open. No, not open.
N-o-t-o-p-e-n. Oh no 1” he added with grave
and earnest deliberation.
And then he looked at the General as
though he didn’t exactly understand .him.
The cold perspiration stood out on the Gen-
eral’s brow in headed drops.
"Mr. Tilden,” he said earnestly, "listen to
me. You cannot, you must not misappre-
hend me. Do not stop me‘; hear me thgpp .-
You cannot delay or avert the inevitable;
you cannot stave 011—"
"No,” the old man said with startling
promptness and discouraging energy. “No,
that’s so. You’re right there again. Not a
stave off. Tight as a drum.” And he re-
peated with comfortable uuction, “Tight as
a drum; tight as a drum. Not a hoop loose
or a stave off.”
The General turned uneasily in his chair
and barely repressed a groan. I As it was, 11;
sighed, and with an appealing glance into the
old man’s eyes, he geld; ‘ . I - '
“This increases my fears and doubles my
responsibilities. This adds—”
“What adze P” asked the old man quickly,
and with a suspicious glance at the General’s
side pocket, as though he feared a concealed
weapon or a meghanigal instrument. liWhai
adze P” be repeated in apparent alarm.
The General rose in despair, abstractedly
rubbing his hat the wrong way.‘ As he stood
near the door, he said: '
“I will leave you now. I will call again,
and may I not trust that on another occasion
you will listep to me more intelligently and
enter more nealously into my plans? May I
.not hope, 011:1” ' ' ' A
“No l” the old man said with mild empha-
sis, “you may open nothing here : not even
a watermelon; not a postal card. I have no
time. I have a client who is?”
He was suddenly silent, for he was alone,
Down the darkening street he saw the mag—
nificent outlines of a superb figure, clad in
the splendid uniform of the senior major gen-
eral of the United States army. This superb
figure was thrashm’ g the air with its splendid
arms, and now and then wildly kicking strep
box with its magnificent legs. The flickering
street lamps shone on a handsome face con-
vulsed with a variety of emotions, among
which flat footed wrath was prominent. The
old man could not hear distinctly the remarks
that fell from the finely-chided lips, but now?
and then the breeze 'of the summer night
wafted back faint echoes of reservation pro-
fanity and foot-hill abjurgations and West
Point expletives.
The old man checked a sigh, and tamed
it into a smile, ' ‘ '
He leaned forward to gaze at the disap-
pearing tableau, and listened for further re-
marks.
But solitude reigned in the street, and
only silence 111091934 his listenins can: with

The superb was gone.

The Latest thing in Rat Traps.
One day, three months ago, a citizen of
Detroit had occasion to examine a rat—trap,
and while doing so it suddenly struck him
that it was a foolish waste of time to set a
trap one at a time. As near as he could find
out there are in this country fully 200 rats to
each rat trap, and they are increasing much
faster than the traps. He went home and
began to work, and yesterday invited repre.
sentatives of the press to inspect the result
of his labors. He has invented and built an
entirely new thing in rat trap!- 38 went to
work on the theory that if one small trap
caught one rat, a big trap ought to catch as
many more in proportion. His trap is'desig-
nated to catch 500 rats at once. It is about
the size of a hen coop, tastefuny painted.
furnished with a tower at each end, and can
be halted with twenty pounds of cheese.
Inside is a tub of water in which such rats
as do not want _to live to see the next day
can commit suicide and have the affair ofi.’
their minds. Those who desire to live can
run up and down a ladder,turu hand-springs
off a spring board. play games over the saw-
dust fioor,and make the best of the situation.
While the aim is to trap the rodents in gangs
of 500 at a time, lots of 850 or 400 will not
be turned away if applying early in the even-
ing. No such trap was ever seen before,and
it is hoped that the originator will have the
luck he deserves. He figures that there are
at least 1,000,000 rats in Detroit, and if the
whole number is not taken in an done for it
