The Yorktown Centennial celebration is
what has totally absorbed the average Amer-
ican patriot and statesman the past week. A
short and unimportant session of the Senate
was held Monday and that evening all who
could find government transportation fled the
capital city. A few chartered Pullman
sleepers and left via our Connecticut friend
C. P. Huntington’s peninsula extension of
his Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, a seven mile
branch from the main line of which, ended
close to the camp grounds at Yorktown. The
terminus of this new grand trunk line from
the great south-west to the Atlantic sea-
board, is at Newport News, where all the
ships of the world might ride in safe anchor-
age. It is expected that in the future a pas-
senger extension will be carried down to
Hampton and Old Point Comfort, butthe
heavy grain, cattle and merchandise, sea-V
board freighting business, will be conducted
at the former place, where the most enor-
mous docking, storing and side-tracking
preparations to be found anywhere on this
continent are now to be seen completed and
in course of construction.
The steamer “Excelsior” had been char-
tered and abundantly stocked with the “neo-
essaries of life” for the specialueeof the
Congressional and the Yorktown'Centennlal
Commission. She left Washington Monday
evening loaded to her utmost capacity with
Committeemen, Congressmen, their numer-
ous friends, Senate employees and hangers-
On about the capital in general. The packing
and jamming in, on the steamer Monday
night, would have appalled the most exten-
sive Mormon in Utah, but the “refresh-
ments” Were of the most ample character and
served to the end, to reinvigorate many a
score of hungry and thirsty Virginians dur-
ing all the steamer’s stay at Yorktown. Very
fortunately, among those from Connecticut
who took passage on this steamer, were
Licut. Gov. Bulkley and Gen. S. W. Kellogg.
Gen. Hawley and his chief of staff, S. A.
Hubbard, Of the Com-ant, and Representa-
tivc John It. Back, went down on a revenue
cutter and their arrival at Yorktown was
delayed until the reception exercises by the
Governor of Virginia to the official repre-
sentatives of other States were nearly over.
On this occasion Lieut. Gov. Bulkley and
Gen. Kellogg answered for Connecticut, be-
'cause at that time Gov. Bigelow was dancing
around, nobody knew where. in the wild At.
lantic Ocean, in the old tub, Charleston, a
full hundred miles out of her course, and, it
is now said, with a green crew of landsmen,
and a captain who did not understand either
the Long Island or Virginia coas‘. But the
patriotism and state pride of Connecticut
was ably represented in the persons of her
Lieutenant Governor and ex-Congresaman.
. Gen. Hawley arrived with his party about
the same time as the President and introduc-
ed the Connecticut ,party to President Ar-
thur.
Among those who went down the river in
the Magenta with your correspondent were
Charles H. Reid, of the Danbury Machine
Co., and Danbury’s chief of police. As we
struck the landing at Yorktown, the latter
worthy official, must have imagined himself
in the midst of a wonderfully exaggerated
Danbury Fair, before the much needed work
of moral reform had struck that remarkably
successful institution; Many of the same
“skin” gamesters, whip, handkerchief, cane
and balloon pcddlers and sneak thieves and
pickpockets who annually visit our eastern
agricultural fairs, were openly plying their
vacations, while from the river to the camp.
ground, a distance of nearly two miles, the-
main roadway was lined on either side with,
tents, cabins and rough board shanties, with
Whiskey, lager and all the gambling devices
Satan ever helped depraved man to. invent,
paraded without cfi‘er at concealment in,
nearly every place. . The lowly huts of the
native colored population seemed to be the
only places on the line not wholly given over
to the devil and his emissaries. The dust inS
this roadway was from six inches to a foot?
deep and owing to having no rains of any
moment thereabouts for the past forq- months
the dust was all-pervading and almost sum)
citing :iu every part of ancient Yorktown.
The many visiting bodies were the greatest
sufferers from this blinding all-permeating
atmosphere of dust. It was a novel sight to
see many of them who had come decked out
in purple and fine linen to greet the repre-
sentative men of this and foreign lands, and
.some in-part dressed for the grand receptions
and balls of the evening, ride to the grand
stand and camp grounds in two—wheeled
dirt-begrimed carts, with one stunted stag
lashed with rope harness to heavy tbills, and
another still more diminutive a few feet
ahead roped fast to the rear animal in most
jaunty tandem style.
The public reception by the Governor of
Virginia of President Arthur, Postmaster
General James and Secretaries Lincoln and
Hunt of his C..‘.-ir.er, the foreign guests of
the Nation and Diplomatic Corps, lllC Cen-
tennial Comininiunr-rs and _C.mgrcssional
Commission and the GOchOrs and
Commissioners of the States, was con-
cluded at about noon of Tuesday.
The Masonic fraternity, headed by ex-Sena-
tor and M. W. l’. G. M. Withers then ledthe '
way to the point where the corner stone of
the monument was to he an, and the offi-
cial ceremonies connected with that impor-
tant event, were to transpire. Senator John-
ston, chairman of the Commission, opened
the . proceedings here in a short speech.
Prayer was invoked, the Marine Band played
the “Star Spangled Banner,” in absence of
the three hundred expected singers, who,
with hosts of others, had got left. The ad-
dress of welcome was then deliveredby Gov.
Holliday, of Virginia, a salute was fired by
the vessels in the harbor, when the corner
stone was laid by the Masonic Grand Master
of Virginia, assisted by the Grand Masters of
the thirteen original States. The bands from
Baltimore, Trenton, Boston, New York and
Washington, and one from Columbia, South
Carolina, made the air vpcal with their melo-
dious strains till far into the evening, when
a grand pyrotechnic display was made the
winding up of Tuesday's public demonstra-
tions.
Wednesday morning the Marine Band and
the Fifth Regiment Maryland N. G. Band
opened exercises at the grand stand. Bishop
Harris offered prayer, after which Presi-
dent Arthur delivered a very appropriate,
pretty and exceedingly well received address.
The Marquis dc Rochambeau made a grace-
ful response in French to the speech of the
President. Baron Steuben then responded
in German in an {appropriate speech; which
was loudly applauded. There were vocifer-
ous cheers for our distinguished guests.
Music, odes, tbs, followed when agmost elo-
quent and historically exhaustive Oration
was delivered by Hon. Robert C. Winthrop,
of Massachusetts. This was the most instruc-
tive and satisfying feature of the whole cele-
bration.
In the afternoon a public reception wrl
given by the President, Secretary Blaine
and his guests of the Nation and the Army
and Navy officials at Lafayette Hall. Dodl-
worth’s 13th Regiment N. G. Band, of New
York, gave a grand concert at the monument
'site and at 8:30 the Boston Cadet Band gave
apromenade concert and hop at Reception
Hall. The river was also brilliantly lighted
up by the hundreds of ships, steamers,yachts
and other craft, from many Of which rockets
and fiery wheels were kept in constant
. blaze. ' Several rcccptiOn balls and dancing
parties were held on beard the river craft,
and with the many colored lights, pyrotech.
‘nics and music, the "Scene 1there was one of
.fairyland—and almost made the visitor forget
the du st and dirt and'pandemo‘nium generally,
prevailing on shore. . 5- ' ‘
All day Wednesday the arrival of the
steamer “Charleston,” with Gov. Bigelow
and staff and our First Regiment, was anx-
iously expected. Had she left on time and
been a good sailer, with competent comman-
der and crew, she should have reached
Yorktown Tuesday night, or at the latest by
daylight Wednesday morning. But nothing
could be seen or heard of her although tele-‘
grams of inquiry were sent down to Fortress
Monroe. By 9 o’clock Wednesday night the
anxiety grew into alarm, but as no serious
mice had occurred, a';break-dowu of her run
chinery, or at worst, a collision was Only
feared. The Connecticut boys arose early
Thursday morning and hastened to the bluff
to see if the missing steamship was in, but
nothing could be seen or learned of her.
Nine O'clock and ten o’clock were away when
apprehension grew into alarm, which subse-
quent news from home informed us was
more largely felt there than with us at York-
town. Thosc who knew anything about the
steamer claimed she was a very old and very
blow boat and her failure to arrive could be
accounted for by her lack of speed, or being
so decayed that she might have gone to pieces
in a half hour’s severe blow on Tuesday
night. There was little comfort from any
source, and when later in the morning tele-
grams began to pour in from anxious friends
at home making inquiry and saying the New
York Times and Herald reported her last at
sea, anything but a comfortable state of feel-
ing prevailed among the representatives from
Connecticut on the ground.
Alston, sharp, the fat face and obese form
of Gen Hancock with his staff, were seen
galloping from his quarters on board the St.
John’s to the camp grounds. The multitude
of course followed, as it was the, signal for
the opening of the grand military parade and
review of U. S. Marines—which was expect- _
ed to be the most imposing spectacle of the
hational celebration. The President and his
Cabinet, Secretary Blaine as guardian of the
French and German delegations, Gen. Sher-
man and Admiral Porter, and a large con-
course of guests were promptly on :the
grand stand when the long lines of military
companies, regiments, batteries and marines
filed past. Had not the clouds'of dust so
swept their line of march across the great
unfenccd field, as at times to completely ob-
scure the troops from view, it would have
strongly reminded one of the grand army re-
view at the close of the war in Washington.
As the long line wended its way out of sight
the anxious eyes of our Connecticut friends
were strained to catch some glimpse Of our
belated troops far down the dirty road. A
little before eleven they were deseried hurry-
ing up the hill from the beach and double
quicking it to the parade grounds.
The Charleston had reached _ the dock at
10:15, and although nearly every man had
been more or less sea-sick and exposed to
great discomforts by the long, unnecessary
voyage, Col. Barber had his eight companies
of the lat Regiment and the 2d company of
Governor’s Foot Guards of New Haven, ful-
ly represented and although neither he or his
fellow-officers had time to saddle and mount
the horses provided for them and awaiting
them on the ground, the boys dashed forward
as cheerily as when they stormed Fort Gris-
wold and struck the end of the line and
passed the reviewing stand as steadily and
marching as finely as any company of regu-
lars that had similarly marched by before
them. It was a happy moment for the
“boys” as a'delay of only ten minutes more
would have lost them the chance to have
appeared in the line and also the thousands
of cheers and compliments they received on
every hand as being, without exception. the
best drilled regiment on the field. Gens.
Sherman rind Hancock, and ex-Confederate
Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee all spoke enthusiastically
of the exceptionally fine marching of ‘ the"
belated Connecticut troops and the boys
without goi‘ng into the tent quarters prepared
for them, at once retreated to their ship to
rest and expectorate the dust with which.
each man was nearly suffocated. The parade
virtually ended the public exercises. A con-
cert by the. let Regiment Band was down on
the evening’s programme, but all were too
tired and uncomfortable to attempt anything‘
of the kind and the day’s festivities and
practically the celebration ended by arcview of_
the fleet in the harbor. The salutes from the
war vessels and manning of- the guns and
yards was very interesting, to landsmen as}
well as naval officers.
The Charleston to expedite the debarkatiom
of the troops on coming into the harbor,
came alongside the steamship Galatea, which
brought the Pennsylvania troops and Gov-
Hoyt and Gen. Hartranft and their staffs.
After our boys had finished their “wash-up,”
Gen. Hawley came down to see them, and
standing on the deck of the Pennsylvania
vessel, introduced Gov. HOyt, who made the
Connecticut people a neat little address.
Hewley made one of his glowing speeches,
i and stated of the fourteen companies of mi-
litia that took the redoubts at Yorktown
eight Of them were from little Connecticut.
Gen. Hariranft, Gov. Bigelow, Marshall
Jewell, Lyndc Harrison and others followed
in patriotic speeches. Early Friday morning
the Charlestown steamed slowly—very slow-
ly—down to Fortress Monroe. Here the
troopers were received by the regulars sta—
tioned at the Fort, and were escorted into
the fortifications where each went through
the manual of arms and a dress parade. The
cfilcers, and especially the ladies at the Fort,
conceded with apparent enthusiasm, that our
their regulars. From the Fort, the boys
marched back to their ship, and at 11:30 set
minor Charleston. The day was fine, and
awe bade them good-bye and God-speed,
everything seemed to promise a more suc-
cessful voyage at the end of their trip. Gov.
i Jewell and his brother Charles J ewell, Post-
master N. D. Sperry and Lynde Harrison
left the ship at the Fortress and took the cars
from Norfolk to Charleston, while ,ex-Con-
greaeman Kellogg and your correspondent
took the steamer for Washington. ,Lieut.-
Gov. Bulkcley and Mr. Hubbard of the
Courant, took pa§sage with our troops for
Charleston, where they expected to arrive
Sunday, Oct. 23d. We left Dr. Gregory and
Governor and staff all well and courageous
fora final completion of their voyage to
South Carolina, but all thcroughly dissatisfied
with MnQuintard’s treatment of them in
the furnishing and equipping of tire old and
miserable steamer. Charleston. -
[A visit and examination of; the Hampton
Schools, for lack of time and space, must be
omitted for another letter, also certain inci-
dents and refiectiOns upon the 'great' national
centennial celebration and upon Yorktown
itself. Chief among which, is the impression
with which about every one came away with
that Cornwallis must have been a dance to
have contested the surrender of such a god-
.forsaken place and,the feeling of thankful-
was that no such “mixed” celebration is to
occur again in ,less than another hundred
years]
Arriving at Washingtin, we found that
Senator Plat; had returned from Connecti-
cut,:bringing Mrs. Platt with him. The Sen-
ator and Mrs. Plait will reside at 1625 Massa-
chusetts avenue the coming session. Gen.
Kellogg left for New,York and home Satur-
day night. The French and German guests
were escorted to Richmond by Secretary
Blaine after leaving Yorktown. On Monday
evening, they are to be entertained at Worm—
ley’e, and on Tuesday leave for Boston, the
guests of the city and of the State of Mas-
mchusetts. They can probably be seen on
the Wednesday morning Boston express at
our South Norwalk station. The Ninth
Massachusetts,~ composed of Irish boys,
while good soldiers, very seriously compro-
mised themselves by too much beer and
whiskey, and were in Washington on their
return. . They expressed themselves very se-
verely at what they term the unjust criti-
cisms of the Richmond papers upon their
conduct.
Treasurer Gilfiilan has received alletter
from George W, Ledereg, at Bridgeport,
boys showed more accuracy in drill than did- ‘
of grey granite, thirty miles from Bridge-
port, on the Shepaug railroad, which he will
place at the disposal of the Garfield Memo-
rial Hospital, and allow them to take there-
from all the stone they need, free of charge,
for the same, provided powder is not used in
quarrying. He says: “The quarry lies one-
eighth of a mile from the main line of the
Shepaug railroad. A side track can be laid
from the main line right into the quarry,
which will reduce the cost Of handling the
stone. The cost of quarrying ought not to
be over five cents per cubic fooot; and, as
the present rate of freight is thirteen cents
per cubic foot, the total coat to Bridgeport
would be eighteen cents per cubic foot. In
view of the fact of its being a national hos-
pital, erected to perpetuate General Gar—
field’s memory, perhaps the railroad company
"could be induced to give a lower rate of
freight. The granite can be loaded at
Bridgeport or South Norwalk on scliooncrs
or barges, and shipped‘directly by water to
Washington.” Postmaster Knowlton at
Bridgeport endorses the above letter, certify-
ing to the sincerity of the offer made, and
testifying that the granite is of handsome
shade and texture, and of great strength-
Senator Van Wyck was called home last
week by the serious illness of his only two
children. Friday, the news reached here
that they were both dead. Mrs. Van Wyck
is trebly bereaved, for she left the bedside of
her father, Hon. John Broadhead, who was
criticallyill. to join her dying children, and
Saturday her father died at the residence of
his son in this city. The remains of the
children were conveyed to Middletown, N.
Y., for burial. God comfort and sustain
these terribly bereaved parents in this hour
of their sore distress.
Senator Platt had a very friendly inter-
view with Prseident Arthur this morning,
concerning, as is supposed, sundry Connecti-
cut appointments.
Counsel was assigned .Guiteau in the per
son of Leigh Robinson, one of the best read
lawyers at the Washington bar, and a very
adroit and fascinating pleader. Ex-Senator
T. O. Howe accepts the Attorney-General-
ship, and ex-Governor and ESenator E. D.
Morgan has declined the President’s tender
of the Treasury Secretaryship. In some
quarters Treasurer Gilfillan is warmly com-
mended for the place, and he would make as
excellent andqable a Secretary as he has been
Treasurer. Moreover, his twenty years’ ex-
perience in that department has put him in
full possession of all the rats and mice nib-
bling in any fraudulent way at Uncle Sam’s
cheese. It is supposed all important nomi-
nations will bc sent in and acted upon so the
Senate can adjourn sine die by the middle of
next week. S. W. Kellogg was appointed as
committee to draft resolutions on the death
of Justice Clifford, last Monday. The brief,
impressive eulogy, pronounced by err-Judge
and Vice-President Davis, .was terse and
beautiful funeral rhetoric, and the speaker’s
heart was in every eloquent word of it. A
daughter of Justice Harlan is to be married
next week at the New York Avenue
Church.
Widowers will be in the ascendancy in
Washington this season, as the President is a
widower; the new British Minister is also;
and so is Mr. Allen, the Hawaiian Minister,
now the dean of the diplomatic corps. There
are also several wido wars in each house of
Congress. Among the Senatorial widowers
are Anthony, Duaid Davis and J ones of Flo-
rida. Senator Ferry is a bachelor.
As ever, &c.,

Thursday last was a grand gala day at
Port Chester, N. Y. The occasion being a
Firemen ’s Parade, on a large scale, and the
day being fair, the parade was a complete
success. The procession had 16 companies
with 11 Brass Band, and 3 Drum Corps in
line, numbering altogether about 900 men.
The line of march was a long one, about 8
miles, (extending into the town of Green-
wich) and all along the line residences were
handsomely and in some places elaborately
decorated. Chief Engineer J. W. Finley
was at the head and proved himself well;
fitted for. the position. Norwalk, South
Norwalk, Bethel, 'Danbury, Waterbury,§
Greenwich, Mt.Kisco, Mt.Vernon {and Tar-i
rytown Fire Department’s had companies in
line. Norwalk was represented by Hope
Hose and Old Well H. and L; and had the
Union Band and Americus Drum Corps in
the line. After the march the firemen took
B.
._ dinner in an immense wig’wam erected for
the occasion and were handsomely waited
upon by ladies of Port Chester who had also
contributed the eutables. After the firemen
had finished their repast the outside crowd
were invited in to get their fill, there being
an immense quantity of provisions left. A
handsome cake was presented to Amogerone
H. 83 L. Co. of Greenwich, for best appear-
ance and largest number of men—this cake
was awarded by ;a committee of five. 01d
Well H. 8.7 L. Co. also received a fine cake
from the Harry Howard Truck Co. of Port
Chester. The parade was the largest and
most successful ever held in this vicinity.

THE CABINET. 2*
Gov. Morgan Takes the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, October 24.—,President Ar-
thur to-day sent in the name of Edwin D.
Morgan of New York, to be Secretary of the
Treasury.
This was the only Cabinet nomination sent
in today.
The nomination was confirmed.
The Railroad Routes.
The engineers on the Vanderbilt survey
are now in the western portion of the town
of Fuirficld, working through to New Ila-
vcn, and it will probably take them four or
five weeks to reach there. The lower line
across Westport harbor, near the wharf of
Horace Staples, Esq , is the most direct
from Norwalk lo Bridgeport, and much more
feasible and much less expensive than the
line across the harbor just above the old
turnpike bridge. As there is but a small
amount of freight by water above the Sta-
ples wharf, it will probably' be for the best
interests Of Westport that this line should
be adopted by the Vanderbilt people, as it
has been by the parallel company.
The new parallel line papers have been
filed at the Ofiice of Secretary of State, and
the company reorganized, as such course was
necessary when the railroad commissioners
failed to approve their lay-out in consequence
of some omissions in their former filing;
and, if reports are true, some lively times
are near at hand, and our readers may soon
learn that we are to have a new and more di-
rect road between New York and Boston, and
one on which faster time can be made than
on any other existing line, and that, too, as
soon as such road can be contracted for and
built. A portion of the new line, east Of
New Haven, diverges from any existing line,
is very direct, and will accommodate a por-
tion of our State that is now poorly supplied
with direct railroad facilities. We have seen
the map-sketchof this new route, and can
only say, that it is a wonder that it had not
long ago been adopted for a Boston and New
York quick and profitable line.

allel Railroad company will meet in New

-: Water Supply.
Engineer Rider says he knows where
there is a subterranean spring within forty
feet of the Borough mains; which would
yield 1500 gallons a minute; and that he
offered to turn the water from this spring in-
t) the Borough reservoir, gratis, if the com-
missioners would furnish the fire steamer,
necessary hose, etc. Mr. Rider is an expe-
rienced engineer, and ought to know what
he is talking about. If he can fill our reser-
voir, he ought to be well remunerated for his
services.
The Water Commissioners tried the exper-
iment of filling the mains on the east side of
the harbor, with water pumped out of“ Bark
Mill Brook at rear of John Cotter’s Machine
Shop, and injecting the same into the mains
through a hydrant .ncar foot 'of Mill Hill.
This was successfully accomplished, but
whether the Reservoir could be filled by the
same means was not tested.
Nonwxmr, Conn., Oct. 20.
Mnssus. EDl'rons.-—l have a strong impres-
sion that I have seen it stated in your paper
that the Borough is sliortfif water, in fact,
so short that they have had to shut it off from
consumers at 8 a. m.
This seems to be a very bad state Of affairs,
but perhaps it can be remedied. In conver-
sation with a gentleman to-day, he stated
that he knew of a subterranean stream that
was running at the rate of 1,500 gallons per
minute, which could be turned into either
reservoir in a short space of time (I think
the time mentioned was half a day), for a
reasonable consideration. 1 am at liberty to
give his name, and will do so: if the Water
Commissioners think it of importance enough
to follow up. I think the gentleman knows
what he is talking about, and think,
perhaps he can make a valuable addition to
the Borough water supply, provided he is
properly treated and remunerated for his
trouble. Only think of it, 1,500 gallons per
minute, 90,000 gallons per hour, or 2,160,000
gallons per day—216 gallons for.each person
per day in a population of 10,000.
Now, gentlemen, if there is anything in
this, is it not worth following up ? If there
should be one-fourth of the amount mention-
ed above, it would be a very valuable acqui-
sition to the Borough supply of water, and
worth paying for. Yours, truly, X.
P. S.—You have my address and can give
it to the proper persons if enquired for.
Water vs. Commissioners.
As the rain to-day (Monday), does not in-
dicate "much of a shower,” it may not be
too late for the Water Commissioners to do
something toward putting the dam at the
reservoir and the mains from there to the
reservoir in the Borough in something like
decent order,as both the dam and mains are,
and have been for months, leaking quite or
nearly enough to supply our people with all
.the water needed. The dam needs a thous-
and loads of filling on the inner side to make
it tight, and there are numerous leaks in thy
mains in the highways and probably there
are many more where the pipes are laid
through private land. The leaks in the
mains ought to be repaired to-day, and the
dam graveled as far as there is time left be-
fore rain sets in. If the Commissioners fail
to act in this emergency, we think the Bor-
ough officials should take the matter in hand
and push things. *5."
The trial of theMalley boys for the mur-
der of Jennie Cramer, at New Haven, closed
on Friday last. The Malleys were held for
trial and hail refused.
In announcing his decision Saturday
m‘brning, Justice Booth said to Walter and
James:
You are charged with the murder of Jen-
nie E. Cramer. It is a case in which a jus-
tice has no final jurisdiction. He has final
jurisdiction in but three cases—profane
swearing, Sabbath breaking and drunken-
ness—all others are subject to appeal. The
state I think—in my opinion—has proved
probable cause. The first thing for me to de-
termine was whether there probably was a
murder—from what cause Jennie E. Cramer
came to her death.
I think the case is proved that she was—
that she came to her death by foul means.
You are accused of the crime. The circum-
stances and the evidence produced here lead
me to believe and my decision is that lhere is
a probability—that there is sufficient ground
for you to be held for the murder of Jennie
E. Cramer. My decision is that you be com-
mitted for trial before the Superior Court at
the term beginning on the first Tuesday of
January next.
The old project of having a new station on
the Consolidated Railroad on the east side of

Letters from the People.
Bsnxsman. MAss.. Oct. 17, 1881.
Dean Guerra:
“Large bodies moves slowly” than which
we could give no better reason that but new
we redeem our promise to drop a line now
and then to remind you of our existence.
We still exist—enjoy it too, as who could
not in old Berkshire. It is. our one yearly
pilgrimage, after the city people have mostly
gone, when the days have grown cooler and
the air mellower. It is all we can do to stay
at home through the scorching summer
days; certainly we should find less comfort
away. But when October comes, dashing
mighty strokes of brown and red, russet and
gold with the master’s rare touch into the
green of the mountains, made starlingly
radiant by contrast with pine and hemlock,
we like to go among these Berkshire hills to
watch this last grand robing of summer as
she goes royally forth to her burial.
To-day is just fresh enough and cool
enough to be enjoyable. If we can get a
team we will put in execution our long-made
threat of going to “Frying-pan spring.”
Yes! we "can have a horse?’ we can have
“Jule,” dignified in appearance and manner
quite unlike “Mollie” whom we prefer in
our hearts. The said “Mollie ” being a colt,
not safe for “wimmen folk” to drive, while
“Sale” needs no restraint upon her actiOns,
and never endangers the majesty of her gait
by haste.
garden trowel for are We not going to get
summer-ferns as we go through the woods ?
beautiful, green, bewildering ferns that we
shall carry to the city with us and put to
grow in a quaint fantastic old dish we have
many sime dreamed did just that duty!
We tie our garden hats firmly down with
strips of calico (we like the new idea) and
mounting into the box wagon, with a
persuasive, then entreating ward to “J ule”
are off. We feel in no hurry, and couldn’t
hurry if we did, so we study the scenery,
always new no matter how many times seen.
How odd the clouds are to-day, filled with
such strange fancies. One can easily believe
themselves watching the unfolding of some
huge panorama. We trace an old woman
with her becapped head, the long, sharp
nose, growing longer; and thinner till it dis-
appears, The hand, wide-spread, is waiting
to grasp something just coming into view,
when “ugh” from the depths of our being
brings us from dream—~land to the fact that
nothing but the grip we had on the reins pre-
vented “Jule” turning a somersault and pull-
ing as over the dash-board.
Just at the left of us, in the house looking
as though it stood across the road at the turn,
grandfather lived. With its white coat and
green blinds, cool-looking and restful, ’neath
the O’ershadowing maples, there is nothing
hints of the lives fostered there in the long
ago, that went out to the world each to its
own mission in life. Most of these have
gone home to the better life. The trio left,
two sisters, (each over eighty,) and a brother
nearly that, are waiting cheerfully and trust-
ingly their calling. The stream across the
road and the dam beyond remains, but a grist
and saw mill have taken the place Of grand-
father’s tannery where he and the boys work-
ed. How fascinated were we by incidents
of those days as we listened to them in our
childhood, told by the “boys” when in after
years they met. One of them used to show
with much pride a pocket-book made from a
piece of hide out from the flank of a horse.
“I cut it and tanned it myself, and made it
up. I’ve carried it more than forty years
and it will do good service yet."
Such beautiful fernsl , We hitch “Jule”
and, stepping daintily, in dread of the ever
expected snake, make our selections, and
soon have our baskets filled. Imagination
rapidly pictures just how they 'will look in
our home next winter. We can hardly wait
to see them growing. A whine from “Jule”
reminds us we are still in Berkshire, not yet
at Frying-pan spring. Resuming our drive
we soon discern the white opening of the
quarry in the hillside. As we approach near
enough we read “Marble Quarry Go.” over a
deserted-looking building. We drive up the
neglected roadway to a old apple tree and
hitch “J ule” for the rest of the way is on
foot. But we want to see the inside of that
building. Qur steps sOund hollow and out
of place as we march straight up to the wide
open doors. What a "sight! Instinctively
we are reminded of Herculaneum and Porn-
peii. Great blocks of marble with the saws,
black and rusty, midway through them still
hang in their frames. Tools lie about as
though the workmen had lain them down to
go to dinner. The engine, the machinery is
there, but Oh! the stillness. Cobwebs of
age, the dust of disuse start horrible sugges.
tions.
it seem as if they must be shortly at work
again ? Yet we are told it is years since labbr
ceased here.
Somehow we don’t feel as light-hearted as
we did, and we find ourselves turning back
to listen,rif mayhap the sound of the engine
and the hammer of the workmen will not
reach our receding steps.
Making the other side of a rickety rail-
fence with praiseworthy caution, we wend in
among the pines and hemlocks, now ducking
our head to escape a blow from some threat.
ening limb, now parting the thick branches
with our hands till we come upon what looks
to be a very old unused well, with a diameter
of five or six feet and an irregular circumfer-
ence, looking to be perhaps fen feet in depth.
Part way down an old tree trunk ragged and
mossy has lodged. Down, down, somewhere
out of sight water is dripping and sputtering
with a sound too many housewives are famil-
iar with—the frying of meat. Where the
water comes from, where it goes to, nobody
knows. ‘Some say one thing, some another,
but there it is, a concealed but noisy spring
hidden among the pines and hemlocks, noth-
ing to give warning of this freak of nature
or account for it when; found. Year after
year, ever since it can be remembered by the
oldest inhabitants, it has been the same.
We are wondering and thinking—wondering
at the spring, thinking of the deserted
building whence the workmen have fled,
when we are roused with the query, have we
seen the “Devil’s Den?” : “No, we haven’t,
what is it like i’" “0, just a good-sized hole
in the side of that hill over there, about bi
enough for a man to go in and turn around.’
We have no inclination to visit any nook of
his majesty to-day, so we reclimb the rickety
fence, retrace our steps past the old greasy
building, unhitch “J ale,” and start for home
which, reaching, we give our team into care-
ful hands, proudly display our ferns and
start to find a secure and shady spot in which
to placegthem till our return to the city.
Here is just the spot, under this old apple
tree in the corner of the fence. We careful.
ly stand them up against the trunk, placing
the roots so they can best receive nourish-
ment from the earth, and congratulate our-
selves at last that we are in possession of the
handsomcst mass of ferns that will grace a
home for many a day. M. H. S.
