WESTPORT.
We are interested here, just now, in a
celestial visitor‘which has been tramping
towards us in space for {nobody knows how
many years, heaving in sight four or five
nights ago, and which is approaching the
earth according to astronomers, at. so rapid 1‘
rate that some believe the Shipton theory of
positive destruction of terrestial things in
1881,.will take place. The Comet, for that.
is the title of our new acquaintance has taken
early morning for exhibitions of itself—from
two o’clock to sunrise, most people being
asleep, but it shows up nono the less beau-
tiful, recalling the celestial visitations of 1857
and 1843. It is in or very near the constel-
lation Auriga in the northwest and at three
o’clock Sunday morning was thirteen degrees
above the horizo . Its nucleus is very brill-
iant and its tail fan shaped and about eight
degrees in length and is traveling towards
the North at the rate of three and a half
degrees a day. Harvard College astronomers
have calculated the comet’s distance from
the sun to be 69,000,000 miles and 29,000,000
miles from this earth, and that it is undoubt-
edly the comet of 1807. They further say it
may be with us several weeks to come.
Those of our people who rise early may in
clear weather see a rare sight.

Carpenter Kellogg is the successful bidder
for the contract-to put up the Westport Land
and Improvement Company’s brick building,
and it is understood work will begin at once.
Various opinions are expressed as to the
practability of the scheme to'erect a great
and expensive structure before it is known
who will occupy, or, what kind of manu-
future will be carried on in it. But, then,
there are doubters in every community, who
having no money to invest, are amply pro-
vided with cold water to pour on the enter-
prises of others. These would first catch
the bird, and then form a cage ,to put it in,
which is good doctrine, but our wide awake
company argue with good grounds, that if a
fine cage is brought into existence it
will not be long before lively birds
will come round prospecting, and pres-
presently nest building. ('tis false, we did not
think of such a thing as saying “nest hi-
ding"), will follow. The company further
say there are uncertainties in every business.
Chances have ‘to be taken in all matters of
this kind. There is no such article in the
enterprise market as “sure tilig," except on
paper. That, like all commodities, has to be
manufactured—wrought out—diligence and
attention being the stuff from which it is
formed. They hold therefore that if_a good
building,like a good carriage or suit of clothes,
is offered. Somebody needing a carriage or
suit of clothes will appear, and, discovering
the fine points,purehase and adapt themselves
to the situation. The company ask, does a
a merchant wait for customers to name what
they want before buys? No; He anticipates
customers and buys what they are likely to
require, and instead of soiling to one he is
able, to supply a dozen. Acting on this
theory our company expect to dispose of not
only one building or building site, but many,
and it is to be hoped they may so well suc-
ceed that Westport can, as she is entitled,
rise to a second Meriden in population,
wealth and importance. She has natural
advantages warranting any expectation in
that line we may indulge.

' The National Guard
General OrdersNo. 8, issued from the of-
fice of the Adjutant General, form a pamph-
let of eleven pages. and contains the com—
plete report of the recent inspections of the
Connecticut National Guard by Major Mc-
Crea of the regular army. The part of the
report not presented in tabular form is as
follows:
.FOBT TRUMBULL, Conn, J nos 8, 1881.
Adjutant General Shite of Connecticut, Hart.
ford, Conn .'
Sm: In compliance with special Orders
No. 74, C. 8., from headquarters Department
of the East, and General Orders No. 4, C.
S., from your ofiice,I have the honor to
submit the following report of the muster
and inspection of the National Guard of the
State of Connecticut, during the month of
Ma .
Emit Regiment—Every officer was pres-
ent at muster and only twenty enlisted men
were absent—one-halt being from one com-
pany. Three companies had out every man,
and four others had but one absentee each.
This excellent showing is the natural result
of harmonious working of the field, staff-
and line officers. All seemed to be working
together for the common good and for the
advancement of their regiment- to the lace
in the National guard. Three compan es of
this regiment are excellent—decidedly the
best in the State,—three are very good, two
are good. and two are bad. These last (C
and ),are a dead weight upon-this otherwise
fine 'regiment, and its emciency .would be
greatly increased if these companies were
eliminated. The drill of three companies
(B, F and K) was a surprise, it was so
thorough. The execution of the manual by
Company B was equal to any I had ever
seen. In the care and condition of arms and
accouterments this regiment did not do itself
credit, and it is surprising that companies
that were so well up in all other respects
should make such a poor show in this.
This regiment excelled in the condition of
its records; 'the books and papers of Compa-
niesB,_F and K are models of accuracy and
neatness.
Second Regiment—Two companies of this
-regiment are excellent, three are very good
and five are good. There is not a poor com-
pany in it. It particularly excelled in the
care of arms and accouterments. A percent-
age of 94.39 of the total strength was pres-
ent for muster. But three officers and
twenty-eight men were absent.
Third Regiment.—Although this regi-
ment-had fewer mcn upon its rolls than either
of the others, yet it had 127 officers and
men absent—nearly as many as the other
three regiments combined. One company
alone had more absentees than the ten com-
panies of the First regiment. The best com-
pany in this regiment is inferior to the worst ‘
in the Second. Two are fair; the others are
floor, one being decidedly bad. Attendance,
discipline and instruction was generally poor.
There seemed to be a lack of interest exhib-
ited by the officers and men not observable
in any other regiment. .
Fourth Regiment—This regiment has two
companies that are excellent—among the best
in the State, two others are good. two others
are bgigr. two are poor,and one bad—decided-
y . .
[Fifth Battalion.—This organization is not
a credit to the National Guard. The officers,
with the exception of the captain of Co. A,
are deficient in knowledge of their duties and
drill. The discipline is poor and instruction
bad. It excelled in the care of its uniforms,
and failed in care of quarters and attention
to its company records.
Company A presented a fine up earance,
and with its present captain will e a good
company. Company D is utterly unreliable;
no discipline—no instruction—nothing to
recommend it.
Artillery—This command is remarkably
good when the disadvantages under which
they labor are taken into consideration. A
battery that is horsed but twice a' year can-
not beex ted to excel in drill, yet both
platoons 'd' well. There is alack of disci-
pline in the second platoon. -
The greatest deficiency in the National
Guard is the lack of discipline in many of
the companies. It is no doubt difiicult to
assemble together men who meet daily on
a social equality, and make them change the
citizen intb the soldier for one day in the
week, but such defects as talking, gazing
about, chewing tobacco, and spitting in the
ranks could be and should be corrected.
Another deficiency is the want of knowl--
ed e of many of the officers, particularly a
knowledge of tactics. And I hereby rec-
ommend that schools for oflicers and
non-commissioned officers be established
in every company, with weekly reci-
tations; that short and easily learned lessons
be given; that each officer and non—commis-
sioned officer he required to learn every
lesson thoroughly, word for word, as given
in the tactics; that each should be marked
for his recitqgipn, according to its value; and
that each captain be required to render
monthly reports of the recitations to the
. _ ntal commander. Aregimental order,
gmng the monthly standing of the different
companies in the regiment, would perhaps
stimulate cpmpetition and be of benefit.
Officers never had finer material to work
with than the officers of the National Guard.
It is composed of a remarkably fine lot of
oung men—intelligent and quick to receive
instruction. Wherever the:e is any deficien-
cy in a company, it is directly traceable to
want of capacity in the oflcers, either to
ignorance or indifference—generally the
former. I recommend that the attention of
ofilcers be directed to paragraph IX Upton’s
Tactics, relating to command. Most of the
ofiicers do not require this, but some do, and
there is a lack of uniformity in the different
regiments: . It is very certain that if a com-
mand is givmg without animation and snap
it will be executed in the same way. A
command to a soldier needs to be given as a
command, not as a request. ,'
With the exception of the Second Regi-
ment and a few companies in the other reg-
iments, the care and condition of arms and
accouterments was not what it should have
been. The system of having an armorer to
each company, to care for the arms, and
relievmg each man from responsibility for
the condition of his particular rifle I do not
think a good one. How to take care of his
rifie_is a necessary part of the education of a
soldier, and if his company was called into
active service he would not know how to
keep his rifle serviceable and the armorer
could not take care of them. . ‘
[recommend that in addition to the sup-
ervxsion of the armorer each man be directed
to look after his own rifle and be encouraged
in taking pride'in keeping it clean. The ob-
jection given to this is that men cannot get
time ,to clean their rifles. The answer i!
that what the Second regiment can do the
others can.
Itis recommended that Companies C and
I, First regiment, Company F, Third regi-
ment, Company 0, Fourth regiment. and
Compam D. Fifth battalion be disbanded.
I have the honor to transmit herewith a
detailed report of the muster and inspection
and the muster rolls in duplicate of forty-
two companies of infantry and two platoons
of artillery. Very respectfully your obedient
servant, .

Major McCrea’s report occupies the first
section of the adjutant general’s order. The
second section disbands the Rockviie and-
Windsor Locks companies of the First regi-
ment, the Putnam company'of the Third
regiment, the Stamford company of the
Fourth regiment, and the Norwich colored
company, and provides for discharging tlm
men The Putnam and Stamford men are
given the privilege of transfer to other com-
panies.
The remaining. sections warn companies
receiving less than 50 per cent. of obtainable
credits of their liability to disbandment;
recommend the study of tactics by ofilcers,all
of whom rated below two are liable to be
called before a board' of examiners at the
next encampment; and thanks Major Mc-
Crea for his “able, impartial and ’ thorough
inspection of the National Guard,”

t This is remarkably well for a Company
only about a year old and is a record for both
officers and men to be proud of, as it is a
standing that could .be reached in so short a
time only by the most persistent and patient
drill and shows not only ability in its officers
but unusually good material in the rank and
file. .Well done F. persevere in your good
work and another inspection will carry you
well to the front—Ens. Guerra.

The Parallel Road.
N. II. Palladium.
The announcement of the railroad com-
missioners that they will hear parties inter-
ested in the long talked of Parallel railroad
enterprise in this city on July 26, gives new:
interest to the project. The plans of the
new company have been kept from the pub-
lic on the ground that if, forewarned the
adversaries of the new route would be fore-
armed, and the plans might, therefore, come
to nau'ght. The road, if built by the pres—
ent organization, will be under the general
law of the state which prOVides that 05,000
per mile of the proposed roadshali be sub-
scribed, 10 per cent. of which amount shall
be actually paid in. So far as this require—
ment is concerned it has been fully met as
about $300,000 have been subscribed. The
new com any has a permanent office in New
York on Pine street, where plans of the sur-
vey and estimates of the cost of the .new
road are shown to capitalists who desire to
examine into the project for the purpou of
1nvestment. The route, as the name sug-
gests, is parallel with the Consolidated
road, the farthest point of the survey being
about five miles from the _New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad track, and
running from that down to one mile distant.
Those interested in the new road claim
there is no formidable obstacles at the pres-
ent time to a speedy and successful comple-
tion of the road. They are also very sa_n—
guine that the road will not only be built
immediately but that it will be a paying and
profitable enterprise from the start. They
argue that the Consolidated road is not able
to do half the business either in passenger or
freight traffic, even ‘by violating all the ac-
cepted ideas of old Connecticut by running
freight and passenger trains on Sundays.
The route surveyed for the new road is a very
favorable one, and the right of way has been
contracted for the entire length. The only
really costly brid e that will be needed will
be across the ousatonic river. At the
hearing next month the plans of the com-
pany will be unfolded through the executive
committee.
W
The Use of Postal Cards.
that during the fiscal. year ending June 30,
there will be used 320,000,000 postal cards,
making a total for the last four years of pre-
cisely one ‘billion. The proposal for bids
for the next four years called for two bil-
lions, and it is not unlikely that the number
sold next years will amount to very nearly
500,000,000. The 320,000,000 sold this year,
if connected end to and, would rim to girdle
around the world with enough to spare to
make a showy knot. These cards are often
bought in very large quantities by business
houses for advertising purposes, orders hav-
ing been received for twenty, thirty and
forty thousand at once ; but the great bulk of
them are sold singly or in small lots for pur-
poses of correspondence. The future of the
postal card depends in some degree upon the
rate of letter postage. If that is dropped to
2 centsthe sale' of cards will be materially
reduced. . . .
Few persons probably realize how respon-
sible a position is that filled by the postmas-
ter general of the United States. The de-
partment under his control is the greatest of
all the governmental agencies. In respect
of the number of persons to whom it gives
employment, it is larger than all the other
departments of the government combined.
The entire army and navy amount to little
more than half the numerical force of the
post office department. 0n the first of next
month therefwill be more than 45,000 post
ofiices in the United States, and the total
number of officers, agents and employee will
be in the neighborhood of 65,000. 0f the
in number are the contractors, exceeding
6,000. The number of clerks in post oflices
isalso above 6,000. The letter carriers in
the cities number wre than 3,000. There
are 1,500 clerks constantly employed on the
railroads, and as many more route agents.
The mail route messengers exceed 400 in
number, and then there are local and spe-
cial agents,making more than 200 more. This
great army is increasing at the rate of nearly
5,000 a year, and, with the multiplication of
railroads and the rapid development of the
southwest, the increase must go on so fast
that ten years hence the postmaster general
of the United States will be the ofiiciai head
of a force of 100,000 persons, while the an-
nual expenses,which are now 838,000,000,
will rise to $50,000,000. No other country in
the world will then pre'sent any civil organi-
zation comparable to our post office, in scope

Some Snakes.
'The following snaky items were all
clipped from the Bridgeport Standard of the
16th inst., and it wasn't the Standard’s best
day for snakes either : '
In Augusta, Ga., a watersnake eight feet
two inches in length and ten inches in cir-
cumference was recently killed by Alonzo
Gilley.
In one hole a Davies county (Ky.) man
found seven copperheads and twenty-two
blacksnakes, all of whom he succeeded
killing. —
A veritable horned snake has been seen by
the Gainsville, Ga. Eagle. It was striped,
and the horn, which was an inch long, was
on the tail.
A blacksnake that has been the terror of
the neighborhood of Nicktown, Pa., was shot
and killed by James Zern on Saturday. Its
place, of abode was a hollow tree in Mr.
Zern’s sugar camp. It measured sixteen feet
in length and was proportionally large.
Dr. J. M. Bellis of Flemington, N. J.,
killed six watersnakes while on the banks of
the‘ Branch. Some of them were four feet
six inches long. Inside of one of the largest
was found a large catfish.
Miss Adeline Davis of Americus, Ga., 18
years of age, died in great agony. recently
from the bite of a rattlesnake. Two of its
fangs struck the instep of the right foot, one
penetrating deeply.
A holiday among some farm hands of
Bellevue, Oregon was given to an attack with
a den of rattlesnakes. When time was called
at sundown sixty-eight snakes, some of them
with twenty rattles, were dead.
James Brewer of Pougkeepsie, came to
the rescue of a lady who was attacked by a
blacksnake of the racer species, and suc-
seeded in killing. It measured five feet in
lengt . ‘
A Columbus, Ga., rural resident avers that
his wife had a hen and chickens that she
permitted to occupy an unused room in the
house at night as roosting quarters. In the
room was an old sofa which was so worn as
to be unfit for use. For several mornings the
lady had missed some of the chickens, and
they went one at a time until they were nearly
all gone. An examination of the old sofa by
lifting the cushion revealed a snake seven
feet in length and twenty—seven inches
around. ‘
The substitution of hades for hell encour-
ages a Thomaston correspondent to declare
that a boy stumbled .over a seven foot snake
which was lying in some grass, and that it
jumped up, threw the boy down, pinched
him on the legs, and then left.
W
In children. worms are indicated by 1c-
ness, itching of the nose, grinding o the
teeth and starting in sleep, 'p-regular appetite,
bad breath, swelled upper i , picking of the
nose, hard swelled stomach and one cheeer
constantly flushed. The combination of -
in redients used in making the Peerless
orm Specific is such as to give the best
possible effect with safety. 25 and 50 cts.

The Secret Told. '
Nobody told, for nobody new, -
How sweet the pure little violet grew;
How it lcame through the earth and the frost
and the dew, -
And lifted its head to the heaven so blue.
Nobody told, for nobod know,
Why pferfect good healt should gladden so
ew
While thodsands, who long something noble
to‘ do
Are bowed down by sickness their whole
lives through.
Somebody told, for every one know,
The wonders Safe Kidney and Liver Cure do;
In bringing pore health to the body anew,
And saving from death many noble and true.

She cooed ; he wooed; the old man said
they could if‘they would. No cards.
She stood at dusk at the alley gate,

But her maiden love was turned to hate

And chucked her_under the chin and said

An Investment Security in Gold
Production.
The Union Investment
Prometing 00.,
155 and 157 Bnoanwav.Naw Yoax.
OFFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock
ofthe Gold Gravel Hydraulic,Co., ot Piumas
and Sierra Counties, California. This property
wiflch has been a largely paying one for the last
eleven years, is a consolidation of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich
enough to produce one hundred millions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least 8300,000,whichproduction it is proposed
to largely increase by the construction ofnew
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
for extracting the gold. The Union vlnvestment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
Common Stock of the Gold Gravel Company,
whieh'is not for sale, guarantees that the pre-
ferred stock which it offers to -the public at par ,
shall receive 12 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock—at the
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on .the total capital stock of one million,
should not be less than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting 00., is a Con-
necticnt Corporation with its chief office in New
York City. its President is A. F. Wilmarth, the
Vice President of the Home Insurance Company;
and among its Director are J. S. Stout, of Stout

the Russel and Erwin Mtg. 00.. New York. Geo.
P. Bissell,of Hartford, and James Bolter, Presi-
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the

It is admitted by all who have any acquaint-
ance with the subject that the placer gold gravel
beds of California. afford an entirely safe and con-
servative field for investment it‘ sufficient water
{or-hydraulic operations is available Prof. Wm.
P. B lake. of New Haven and other experts ofthe
highest character have reported most, favorably
upon this property. In answer to the question
likely to be first asked by the cautious New Eng-
land investor: "Why,“ this is. so good a thin
does this wealthy company Wish to sell any 0
the stock”-it may be said that through the com-
panies’ agents and experts in California, it has
opportun ties to use capital in similar invest-
ments which will pay the companyfifty per cent.
