. TWENTY-FIST ANNUAL REPORT.
' Another year has now been numbered with
the many that have gone before, and we are
met to celebrate the twenty-first anniversary
of the organization of the Norwalk and Vi~
clnity Bible Society. We are here to look
over the field of our labors, to consider the
interests of the Bible Cause, first, within our
own limits as a local society, then the work
as prosecuted throughout this goodly state
by the Conn. Bible Society, and, lastly, the
wonderfully successful efforts of the Amer—
ican Bible Society in spreading the Gospel
over the whole earth. _
With us, the year has been an uneventful
one. Last year we repeated a thorough can-
vass of our whole territory. The towns of
Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, WIIIOD’WGS-
ton and Westport, having just been so sys-
tematically visited, that We believe but few
houses were omitted in the canvass, and we
presented statistics showing the number of
families in each town, their nationality,
. whether Protestant or Catholic if Protestant
the number connected. with each denomina-
tion,showing also the number of non—church-
going families, with the number of Protestant
children not in Sunday—School, and other
statistics of vital importance in carrying on
the work of Bible distribution. We stated
also that lists giving the names of Protestant
non-church—going families with their denom—
inational preferences, and prepared with
reference also to the gathering in of non—
SundaySchool—going children, had been
placed in the hands of the pastors of the
churches for their information and guidance
in the work. We have been grateful to learn
that these lists have been utilized, and have
reason to believe that the attendance in
church services and in our Sunday—schools
has been increased thereby. In view of this
work having been so thoroughly done, your
committee have not felt that it was necessary
to re-canvass the field the past year, and con-
sequently have not held our usual meetings.
We feel however that the thickly—settled
portions of our territory ought to be fre-
quently gone over, and we propose at an
early date calling a special meeting to devise
means for a re- canvass of such_portions of
Norwalk and adjoining towns as from their
frequently changing population seem to de-
mand such a visitation. We have felt ex—
ceedingly anxious that our churches,not only
in Norwalk Borough, but in all towns cover-
by our Society, should be in some way im-
pressed with the importance of the objects
which we are organized to carry out, and
should feel such an interest in our work,
that each church would at least appoint
two of its laymen, who, with the pastor
should become members of the ‘Standing
Committee, and should also place this Society
on-its list of objects for an Annual contribu-
tion. To this end, your committee printed
its Annual Report of last year, giving some
of the Statistics gathered, and making a
Special Appeal for the cooperation of all the
churches, but the response has been so feeble
that we are compelled to accept the conclu—
sion, that our churches have not the interest
in this work, which its importance demands.
Still we are not discouraged, but will labor
on with the hope that something will be done
to awaken a deeper enthusiasm in this glor-
ious cause.
Our report is already so lengthy, we can-
not' speak of the noble work accompanied by-
our State Soci'tey. Its agents have been
traversing from place to place, up the hills,
and through the valleys, with God’s’word in
their hands, and God’s love and a love for
souls in their heart, carrying light and cheer
into many an humble cot, and scattering the
good seed ofthoKingdom far and wide.
Nor can we speak of the vast work ac-
complished by the American Bible Society,
except to say that there were issued from
the Bible House in New York, alone last
year, not including those published in foreign
lands, 1,155,017 copies of God’s word. Who
can tell what an influence for good shall be
exerted throughout all the world, by such a
number of Bibles printed 'in so many differ-
ent languages, and disseminate among so
many different nationalities. .
In conclusion, we beg to'express the hope
that this Society, and the important work it
is organized to prosecute, may find a place
in the hearts, and prayers, and contributions
of all who love Christ and his word, so that
we may be able to do more and better work
for the master, in this branch of his service,
in the future than in the past.
The Treasurer reports a balance of $51.26
in the treasury. Of this sum we ought to
pay over to the Conn. Bible' Society 41 del-
lars to reimburse thatgsoeiety for the excess
of expenditures over receipts in the recent
canvass of our territory. If we do the work
which seems to us ought to be done this
coming year, we shall need your further
contributions. We hope for a generous re-
sponse to our appeal.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES L. Amman, Secretary.
An Eloquent Tribute to N athnn
Hale. <
In his magnificent address at New Haven
on Decoration Day Governor iiubbard paid
the following tribute to Nathan Hale :—
A young British major in our revolutionary
war penetrated within the American lines on
’the Hudson. He was in complicity with
Benedict Arnold, the Judas of profane histo—
ry, and bore on his person the passport of
that infamous traitor. He was detected,
convicted and hung as a spy. In the same
contest, only a few ‘miles away, and but a
short time before, an American captain, a
young graduate of Yale, entered in disguise
the British lines on the other side of Long
Island Sound, and explored their camp. He,
too, was arrested tried and hung—hung
with the double infamies of a rebel and a spy
He was not in complicity with treason in the
enemy’s command, and bore no traitor pass—
ports for his protection, but entered upon the.
perils of his enterprise unfriended, and faced
its penalties unbleached. His last words
were the words of a confessdr : “I regret that
I have but one life to lose for my country.”
The first was a soldier by trade, engaged in
a war of subjugation beyond seas; the second
a citizen soldier and a volunteer for hiscoun-
try’s defense in the cause of liberty. Yet
the name of one is blazoncd on the rolls of
history, and the place of his death commem—
orated by a memorial built by American
hands; the name of the other is but little
known even among his own countrymen.
For three score years and more the remains
of Andre, transported by the British govern—
ment to his native shores, have reposed in
the great abbey of Westminster. The ashes
of Hale rest in an unknown grave, and lack
even the hospitalities of his native soil. And
what—let me pause here to ask it—what has
his native state done to rescue his memory
from the unéquai judgments of history! We
have thrown out in the front niches of our
capitol the statues of Jonathan Trumbull and
Roger Minot Sherman. Shall Nathan Hale,
the young and .intrépid martyr of liberty,
fail longer to find a memorial in the capitol
of his native state, whilst his less deserving
brother in courage and misfortune sleeps in
the world’s foremost temple of glory, amid
its innumerable poetries of art and efflgies of
heroes ? I put this question, and to give it
mere emphasis, I repeat it here, in this pres—
ence, on this anniversary day of our country ’s
martyrs. And every son of Connecticut
that hath an ear let him hear.
Religious papers are telling the remarkable
story that HodschmAhmet, who was senten—
ced to imprisonment for life for having trans-
lated the Bible into Turkish and for having
circulated it in the states of the sultan, escap-
edfrom the prison at Ohio alter. the recent
- earthquake. The prison was thrown .. down
by the violence of the shock.} but Hodscha-
Ahmet was not hurt. He managed to get on
board an Englidi vessel anchored in the bar-
bor, and is now in London.

Having been from my earliest youth in-
stinctively opposed to the liquor traffic never'
having used intoxicating drinks a beverage, I
feel that I have nclear title to advocate the
temperance cause, believing it to be'a prac-
tical christian Work, without circumlocutioni
directly in the interest of ‘ humanity, 0f
manhood and womanhood, there is no 01853
or profession in the community that can
claim absolute exemption, or immunity from
the evils of intemperance. Let a given
number of young men start on a career of
social drinking in a moderate way, and con-
tinue it, there is not a man on the face of
the earth, that can tell whom or how many
will become victims to steady drinking, or
periodical drunkenness, that some will. is
almost certain, and those of the most prom
ising future, whose mental and nervous orga--
nizations is such that the slightest added
stimulant will explode them. Wealth,socia1
position, splendid Opportunities, offer no
barriers against the danger to such temper-
aments, for it seems a matter of tempera-
ment,‘ not of talent, children,.are not born
with the mark of .a drunkard upon them, of
course I am not speaking of phenominal
exceptions, nor does anyone start out delib-
erately resolved to alleniate themselves from
family social position. All that pertains to
a moral, intelligent, useful, human being, for
the privilege of getting drunk, to be changed
froma generous, kind hearted good neighbor
and good citizen, to a domestic tornado, a
social cyclone, a public nuisance, that is the
result of habit, produced by example, and
the public exposure of the enchanting
fluid, the mere fumes of which, endanger
persons who are as supersensitive internally,
as some are externally}. I speak now of
persons known to me. ical men as Dipso-
maniac’s, some persons cannot pass the poison
mercury, entwined upon our fences without
feeling an itching of the face and hands, so
there arethose who cannot with safety drink
water out of a. tumbler which has had
whiskey in it without first reusing it. In
every town, city and state, throughout the
realm of civilization there are persons thus
constituted and thus tempted, intelligent,
respectable, christian people, grant a special
permit to have the enchanting fluid on
public sale, seeking to get those of sufficient
character to make them the more dangerous
—for the more characterless the seller, the
more degraded those who drink, the less the
allurements'; and the less pernicious the
example. The declaration that no drunkard
shall enter the “Kingdom of Heaven” is one
that no convocation of ministers, no assem-
blage of the great masters of languages will
be likely to retrauslate.
Dr. Crosby said, at the annual meeting
of the New York Bible Society, that there
were 600 words in the Bible not used 10-day
and many of its words, had entirely changed
their meaning. I think the above declara-
tion is not among them, he instanced the
word comfort in the Bible, which he said,
did not mean consolation, but encouragement
now I think the effect upon the rum-seller
of Dr. Crosby’s course in the temperance
cause, can be well described by the word
comfort, for it is to them, both a consolation
and an encouragement, the fact. that .drunk-
ards are made so by moderate beginning,
and that men often die in that very condi-
tion that renders them inadmissable to fu-
ture happiness, whilst those who commit
other crimes are not so often stricken down
in the very act, thushaving time to repent,
would seem a sufficient reason, for ministers
of the gospel and Christians generally, to
make a special effort to abolish the traffic in
intoxicating drinks, not by an occasional
prayer, not by prayer alone ; society com-
munities, are governed by laws, the under-
lying principle of which is that private in-
terests must yield to the general good ; to
sanction the cause that produces the result,
and then pray for the overthrow'of the re-
sult, is asking God to perform a miracle, and
not by established means ; as well might we
.expect that by prayer, however earnest,
faith, however exalted, hope, however
strong, to leap from a building resolved to
ascend and not descend, a law back of hopes
prayers and aspirations, would take us down
and dash us to pieces; laws and penalties
cause and effect, are inseparable. God has
established irrevocable laws to govern the
universe, and moral laws by which we are
to be governed. in our intercourse with each
other and our relations to him, and given
us the prerogatives of governed “by-laws ;”
how quickly we punish crimes, the majority
of which are traceable to intemperance, as
their anger or immediate incentive, quaran-
tine contagious diseases, abate nuisances,
throw up barriers against every danger to
the very details of life, Why a man or child
cannot carry a bouquet or a bunch of flowers
in their hand in Central Park, New York, so
zealously do they guard the beauty of their
park. A gentleman a short time since,while
riding in his carriage in the park, holding in
his hand a bunch of lilacs, was arrested and
fined, the case was carried to a higher court,
but not like the fines imposed for violating
the law, where by political or moneyed in-
influence decisions are reversed, it was men-
tioned that the law had been violated, and
the fine must be paid, but virtue, honor,
happiness, lives of the innocent can be de.
stroyed and no law to prevent. The marv-
elous dykes in Holland, thrown up to keep
back the sea frdm overthrowing the Nether-
lands, have men to keep constant watch over
them. The “Stork,” a bird which destroys
the little insects that might injure or under-
mine the dykes is protected by the law, no
one dare to point a gun at it, but when
christian men and women try to throw up
moral dykes to keep back the raging sea of
intemperance, whose ceafless flow is sweep-
ing thousands annually into a drunkard’s
grave, we are told that there is no remedy,
christian men and women either stand op-
posed, or fail to co-operate and the fashion-
able, the elite with curled lip, mufiied‘ nose
and stifled concience pass by on the other
side. . B. B.

A former slavo’s Gratitude.
Mr. and' Mrs. J. J .- Warren, of our city,
says the New Orleans- Picayune, have been
made the recipients of a beautiful gift,which
came to them in a grateful way from a
family servant. Recently, Mrs. Warren was
in her kitchen, when she was interrupted in
her work by Robert Dandridge, her favorite
dining-room servant of antebellum days, who
came in all smiles, with compliments-cf the
season for his old mistress. Mrs. Wgrren
received him very cordially . and bethinking
herself of the duty of the hour, handed
Robert a silver dollar for his Christmas, with
good wishes in return for, his affectionate
greeting. But the faithful servitor had not
come to receive anything except the good
lady’s welcome. To her surprise he gently
refused the proffered dollar and producing
from his pocket an elegant morocco leather
case’, said: “Miss Anaise, I didn’t come to
get a present this morning, but to make one
to my old master and mistress, whose kind-
ness to me I never can and never will for-
get.". Robert opened the' case, exposing to
view two large napkin rings, made of pure
gold, encircled each by a silver band, and
inscribed with the Warren monogram. These
he handed to Mrs. Warren. Some years be-
fore the war Mr. Warren purchased Robert.
who was then a boy. In the service of the
family he grew up 'under uniform kindly
treatment, and remained with them until
hostilities had well set in. At last, however,
his military ardor led him to enlist in the
Federal army, and for the camp he left his
master’s home. He was wounded in battle,
and on recovering his health came back to
New Orleans to collect his bounty money.
But ‘this he could not obtain unless some
well known citizen here would vouch for
him, and to his old master Robert applied
for surety. Mr. Warren at once interested
himself in his case, and_by personal effort
enabled Robert to collect his claim, amount-
mg to some $1.500. He is now a coachman
and trusted. servant in another family, and
well to do In the world, as may be seen by
the costly present he has been able to make
to his former owners.

Military telegraph contributed in no small
degree to the disasters of the French in the
France-German war. Recent publications
show the thoroughness with which the army
investing Paris was kept telegraphically
connected in its different parts. About two
thousand messages were sent daily. 'Auto—
matic signals gave immediate notice of the
cutting of wires or other interference with
the telegraph lines, and mounted men were
promptly dispatched to make repairs.
Recent experiments with the electric light
in photography have met with much success.
In some respects it is said to produce better

It is believed that porosity is a property of
all bodies. An experiment performed some
years ago, to ascertain whether water could
be compressed, resulted in proving that gold
is porous,——the water enclosed in a hollow
sphere of gold being forced, by the violent
pressure applied, through the sphere and
appearing on the outside. The pores through
which the liquid was driven could not have
been more than the two-millionth of an inch
in diameter. .
Mr. W. H. Preece, the English electrician,
has determined with much accuracy the area
protected by a properly adjusted lightning-
rod. His conclusion is that the protection
extends to a conic space whose height is the
length of the red, the base being a circle
having its radius equal to the height of the
rod—an opinion which has been held by sci-
entific men for a long time. '
A curious instance of the deodorizing of
illuminating gas was recently cited by Prof.
Resen. In Dresden uantity of gas escaped
from a pipe outside dwéllingand passed
through the earth into the house, with its
odor entirely gone. It was breathed uncon-
sciously, and several deaths occurred in con-
sequence. .

,Though the invention ‘of the barometer
is due to the mathematician Torricelli, yet in
England Sir Christopher Wen was the first
to suggest that the varying weight of the
atmosphere was the true cause of “ the varia:
tion in the neight of the mercury. This was
a theory opposed to that of the disciplps of
Descartes, who ascribed the variation to the
influence of the moon. .
The cry of science is still “Onward,” and

Prof. Helmholty expresses the opinion
that our planetary system must sooner or
later come to an end by the exhaustion of
its forces. The sun must ultimately “‘run
down” like a clock. He thinks that the ex-
isting stock of power available for the main-
taining of it may last some seventeen million
years. . '

Dr. Beard explains the marvelous powers
exhibited at times by subjects in a mesmeric
trance condition by the excitation of one
faculty while all the rest :are for the time
suppressed. A permanent cxaltaion of some
single faculty—as of calculation on music——
with the suppression of all other faculties to
a greater or less. degree, occurs sometimes
in the cases of idiots. whose brain power
appears confined to one line of effort. In
ability or intelligence is attended by a les-
sening of the force of the exalted faculty.
The attention of the Medieo-Surg’lcal Society
of St. Petersburg, has lately been called to a
remarkable case illustrating this principle in
inverse order. The subject, a Russian of
twenty-seven, was in youth distinguished
for brilliant abilities. "Disease brought on
by dissipation caused the loss of all his
mental faculties except memory and the
power of mathematical calculation. Those
increased proportionally as his power of log—
ical thinking and understanding vanished.
He is now a living phonograph and calculate

A cypress tree, 75 feet high, 10 feet in
diameter, and more than 2,800 year old, was
recently destroyed [near Sparta, Greece.

years before Christ. The Spartans mourn
its loss. .
Tm: Wm'rn Mouurams.—the Indians, it
is known, inhabited these mountains long
before the settlement of any portion of New
England by whites. But their villages were
chiefly situated upon the skirts, where the
hunting and fishing were good, and the
ground favorable to their primitive mode of
cultivating it. His infallible eye for the best
sites is sufficiently evident, since we find the
Indian’s uncouth Wigwam invariably suc-
ceeded by the most important settlements of
the English.
Otherwise, the mountains were. fof Ethe
American Indian, as for the natural man in
all ages,a sealed book. He regarded them
not only as an image, but as the actual
dwellingplacc, of Omnipotence. He dread-
ed Manitou, whose voice was the thunder,
whose anger the lightning, and on whose
face no mortal could look and live, was the
counterpart of the terrible Thor, ‘ the
Icelandic god, throned in a palace of ice,
among frozen and inaccessible peaks. So
far, then, as he was concerned, the mountain
remained inviolate, inviolable, as akind of
hell filled with the despairing shricks of these
who in an evil hour transgressed the limits
sacred to immortals.
The first mention I have met with of the
Indian name for these mountains is in the
narrative of Captain John Gyies,printedii1
Boston in 1736, saying that “the White Hills
called the Teddon (Katahdin), at the head of
Penobscot River, are by the Indians said to
be much higher than those callchgiocka-
chook,above Saco.”' The probable signifi-
cation of these Indian words, is according to
the best living authority, “the mountains
on that side,” or “over yonder,” to distin-
guish them from the mountains of the Pe-
nobscot.
’It is not precisely known when or how
these granite peaks first took the name of
White Mountains. We find them so desig-
nated in 1672 by Josselyn, who himself
performed the feat of ascending the highest
summit, of which a brief record is found in
his New England Rarities. One can not
help saying of this book- that either the
author was a liar of the first magnitude, or
else we have to regret the degeneracy of
nature. exhausted by her long travail; for
this writer gravely tells of frogs that were as
big as a child a year old, and of poisonous
serpents which the Indians caught with their
bare hands, and ate alive with great gusto.
These are rarities indeed!
The name is traced, not, as in the case of
Mont Blanc, to the fact that their peaks are
covered with perpetual snows, for this is true
of only half the year, but from the circum-
stance that the bare granite of which the
highest are composed transmits a white light
when observed from a distance. Mariners
approaching from the open sea descried
what seemed a cloud-bank rising from the
landward horizon when twenty leagues from
the nearest coast, and before any other land
was visible—Hamper’sfor May. _

The Young Woman’s Front Hair.
Philadelphia Times. ‘
There is no season of the year when a
young woman doesn't have all the trouble
with her front hair that anybody ought to
have with anything in this world, but in the
soft summer weather the management of the
front hair, or bangs, or frizzes, or whatever it
all may be called, is quite too awfully dis-
couraging for anything. During the cold
and solid weather a young lady’s hair will
stay anywhere she may put it; she may even
hang 1t over the gas fixtures or on the towel
rack and itwill remain as complacently and
unruffled as may be desired. The bandoling
compounds know their place in the winter
time and maintain their dignity. They can
always be relied upon. But when the warm
weather comes it is different. an fm'nt hair
melts down as everything else melts. The
bandoling glue won't hang tllgcther and
the young woman who goes out in good order
has no idea where she will find the most of
frizzes and hangs an hour hence. They have
likely melted and run all around her forehead
and into her eyes and scattered back toward
her ears and generally giving her a wild and
horrible look which isn’t pretty. She knows
she is a fright; she says so a thousand times
a day. She goes around in search of mirrors
to ,see just how awfully awful she does ap—
pear, and pulls away at her hair until she
gets' it exactly where she doesn’t want it and
goes riding home in the street car with an un-
natural excitement about her, cheeks flushed
and knowing perfectly well that everybody is
wondering what is the matter.
This a very severe trial to a young wo—
man, but she endures it with a fortitude that
would give way at the sight of a mouse.
Anybody would suppose that one day’s expe-
rience of this thing would be enough. But
don’t for a moment deceive yourself with the
notion that itis. No sooner does she escape
from the public in this melted and demoral—
ized condition than she makes arrangements
to go through it all again. She pastes her
front hair in place with a patience and skill
which would win her fame if devoted to some
durable work; She wraps an old and faded
veil about her head to keep the pasted frag—
ments in place while in the house, and
finally she goes out again, knowing as well
as she knows anything—which is sometimes
suspected to be not very well—that in a very
short time she will be in state of trouble and
confusion about that front hair, as she has
been many, many times before. The young
women will go on doing this as long as it is
the fashion. It never occurs to them to do a
sensible or a neat and tasteful thing in the
way of fixing their hair unless it is the fash-.
ion for them to do so; and sadly enough it
must be said that anything so sensible is hardly
ever fashionable. The consolation which
any suffering young woman has unquestioned
is that nearly every other young lady is about
asmuch of a fright as she is. Co-operative mis-
ery, so to say, is always the more endurable.
Every observing human being who goes
where young women are on these summer—
iike days must be convinced, however of the
great need of some device which shall in
some measure mitigate the horrors of the
feminine front hair. In itspresent unprotected
condition it ruins the pleasure of life during
the warm days and destroys the prettiest
pictures of the drawing room and the prom—
enade. There can be no real happiness until
front hair has been educated to stay where it
is put at all seasons of the year or until young
women have been educated not to put it
where it is impossible to expect it to stay.
Too well Prepared.

Bright and early yesterday morning a
middle aged man of anxious look and much
corporosity called at the City Hall, and went

“I believe we have a sporadic case or two,”

“Und doze somepody hat to get waccinat-
ed to keep him avay ?"
“Every citizen should protect himself.”
“How many dimes was I get waccinated to

“Oh I guess once will do.”
“Vonce! Great shiminy ! no more ash

He jerked off hit coat and pushed up his
right sleeves and pointed to four spots on his
left arm and five on. his right, and said :
“Four und five makes nine dimes dot I
vhas waccinated in four days!”
“How is that?”
- “How ish dot i .Dat’s vhat Ilikes myself

“Before night a man with spectacles comes

One time there was a feller but a dog of a
man in the market,and the (legit was a bitcr.
After it had hit the feller four or five times
.he threw a closeline over its neck and led it
back to the dog man in the market. and he
said to the dog man, the feiler did: “Ole
man diden’t you use to have this dog ?” The
dog man he lukcd at the dog, and then he
thot awhile and then he said: “Well, yes,
I had him about haf the time and the other
haf he had me.” Then the feller he was
fewrious mad, and he said : “Wot did you
sell me sech a dog as thisn for.” And the
old man spoke up and sed : “For four dol-
lars and seventy-five cents, loflle money,”
Then the feller be guessed he wud go home
if the dog was willing. Uncle Ned, which

The oldest steamboat men on the sound
declare that their only safety in a fog is in
keeping up the regular rate of speed of the
boats. The course is laid out so many min-
utes due cast and so many minutes south of
east, and the regular rate of speed. is their
only reliance for making their bearings and
stemming the winds and tides encountered
in their route, of which they have an accu—
rate knowledge. To slow down would be to
leave their course, and be at the mercy of
the tides and waves. The captains think
that it is easier to navigate sound steamers
on poperthaniuthe waters of the sound.
