ON THE WING.

DEAR Gunman—In our last, we promised
some additional reflections upon Yorktown
and its centennial celebration. [As a histori-
cal demonstration, there was much to amuse,
to ridicule and justly criticise; with very
little to commend. at least in its practical de-
tails. As a grand national celebration, and
as an ovation to our foreign guests who had
braved the ocean’s perils toparticipate in hon-
oring an event their patriotic ancestors had
i joined with ours to render memorable, it was
from inception to conclusion, unworthy our
great government of fifty millions of free-
mcn. The thrifty Virginians had seized
upon the projected celebration as a chance
to turn an honest penny, which had occurred
only after a hundred years of waiting, and
tried very hard to make all possible amends
for the long interval. The people and land
about Yorktown are about the poorest to be
found in the old State titled “The Mother of
Presidents." The poor natives evidently felt
themselves justified, after having waited a
hundred years, in showing that in purpose.
at least, they were quite as sharp and thrifty
as they had always been taught to believe
their Yankee cousins were. But like almost
everything else purely Virginian, it proved a
lamentable failure. The great State, proud
of her distinction as “the Mother of Presi-
dents,” contributed not a dollar towards the
National frolic that was to take place upon
her soil. Indeed,not ‘only did Virginia’s Gov-
ernor and his full staff quarter themselves
upon the Congressional boat and obtain free
sustenance, from state rooms and dinner ta-
bles, but made most copious drafts upon the
steamer‘s stores of free wines and segars.
Au ex-M. C., from that State, not to be out-
done in patriotic ardor by its Governor and
his ample stall; quartered his entire household
upon the same boat and seven chairs were
promptly turned at every recurring meal
from beginning to end of the celebration, for
the ex-Congressional brood. When our at-
tention was called to this patriotic self-sacri.
flee, we exultantly felt that so long as Con-
gress voted supplies for our centennial cele- .
brations in Virginia, the country would be
safe and never lack for supporters.
The thrifty owner of the site, where it
was proposed to erectthe centennial monu-
* ment, at once comprehended the fact that it
would notdo to wait another hundred years
for the transfer of even a square rod of land,
and although commercially worthless as a
home product, insisted upon liberal pay for
it from his Uncle Samuel. It was cheerfully
noted that the price obtained from the Gov-
ernment for thebit of worthless land to erect
the monument upon, would, with strict econ-
omy, keep the patriotic native, selling it, in
his favorite beverage of corn whiskey for the
best part of a year. It would be illiberal to
‘carp at this opportune chance the. decayed
“Mother of Presidents” had of increasing the
size of its tobacco quid and the frequency of
its corn juice drinks. The effect upon our
foreign visitors and guests, of what they
saw, must have been ludicrious beyond their
powers of expression. ‘
Arrived at Fortress Monroe, a far more en'-
couraging picture presented itself to our
view. After the departure of the Connecti-
cut troops and friends, in their steamship,
en ooyage to Charleston, ex-Gov. Jewell‘head-
ed our company of deserters from the steam-
er Charleston, to the Indian and negro schools
and workshops at Hampton. We reached
the famous institutions just as the students
were gathering for dinner. In all, of Afri-
can and Indian descenls, of boys and girls,
there must have been fully four to five hun-
dred pupils. They sang many popular negro
melodies, and none with so much apparent
relish as “John Brown‘s Body." The little
Indians prove the brightest and quickest
scholars and mechanics although nearly all
of them labor under the difficulties of having
to acquire our language. In the schools and
' workshops where trades are taught the boys,
the Indians show themselves much more apt
and orignal and quicker to learn than the
negroes. They seem also, strange as it ap-
pears, to have nicer tastes and more refined
sensibilities than the children of African de-
scent. In the field and at hard manual labor,
however, the Indian lad at once gives out and
the negro far surpasses him in patient
endurance. The Indian children seem to
possess ulcer and finer mental tastes and text-
ture than tlu- Africans. He is chivalric,
quick to learn, obedient and docile, unless
wronged, and :hml his true Indian nature re-
veals itself. If on injury is done him, or an
affront given, he always wants to retaliate
upon the first one he meets. He does not
wait to find the same person who has done
him wrong, but is equally well satisfied if
'his retaliatory revenge has struck any one of
the same race or color; This is the most
deep-seated and almost ineradicable fault of
tiltindian. 'He' will not patiently wait, as
the negro will, till he can meet the individual
person who’h'as done‘ him an injury, but the
Indian naturesecms just as well satisfied if
he can reekhis vengeance upon any one of
the same race or’, lineage. All the leading
trades are taught the Indian as well as negro
boys,_-and it is surprising to see how the In-
nuns outstrip the ‘negroes in mechanical exe-
cation. One Indian my being taught the
tin and coppersmith trade, had become a sur-
prising mechanical expert and would work
out the most original and beautiful and use-
ful articles frorn the metals. The foreman
of the tin shop told us that he looked. upon
this young Indian boy as the most ingenious
and original worker in these metals that he
ever saw. The same feature of nice and
delicate mechanical devices and handiwork
characterizes the Indian girls. They far sur-
pass the negro girls in artistic tastes and nice-
ty of needle and other female workihg. But
for hard, patient and continuous labor or
mental effort, the negro children develope by
far the greatest amount of endurance and '
fortitude. ' While the Indian boys do well in
the workshops and become experts in me-
chanics, they are of little account as farm or
out doors'hands. They seem to be greatly
behind the negro in physical stamina and pa-
tient, enduring, plodding stamina. The In-
dian children, too, we observed, to be far
more light of heart and lithe of limb and
nimble of foot. in their frolicsome games
on the play grounds, than were their play-
fellows and companions of the African race.
Our observations led us to theconclusion
that the Indian child is far quicker and more
mechanically ingenious and apt than the ne-
gro, but hcbad not the patient endurance of
the negro. The visit to the Hampton School
when most instructive and enjoyable one,
and we advise all who can to “go and do
likewise." One of the most imposing work-
shop buildings upon the ample grounds of
this Hampton institution, is a large saw and
planing mill andcarpenter shop, the gift of
that enterprisingson of Connecticut, E. P.
Huntington, Esq, the present millionaire
VieePresidentgof the Central Pacific Rail-
road. Mr. Huntington, as is known to most
, intelligent Connecticut people, is an old
Litchfield County boy, a native of Harwin-
-.' L'. ton, and in'boyhood laid the sure foundations
' 5"fof-v his‘robust cdnstitution. in laying stone
, wall and doing such farm work as a poorboy
was compelled to do, on His bleak hillsides
of on later county. It is a most gratifying
fact to record that Mr. Huntington’s great
fortune has not dwarfed his, great-hearted
benevolence.
‘Returning from Fort Monroe to Washing-
ton the Senate rcsnmed its called session and
one by one the nominations (mostly those
made by President Garfield) were sent in for
confirmation. The principal one was that bf
Judge Folger for the Treasury. We are told
that Treasurer Gilfillan’s name was presented
to President Arthur as a most suitable suc-
cessor to Senator Windom, but on learning
of it, Mr. G., with true Connecticut mod-
esty, sent word to the President that if his
name was under consideration for the place
he wished it understood that be much pre-
ferred his present position as U. S. Treasu-
rer. We wish Mr. G. might have been
placed at the head of this department, if
only for a short season, as his twenty years’
service there since he left the editorial fra-
ternity of our state, has given him such an
insight into every branch of that vast de-
partment, that the peculating rats and mice
said to infest the Treasury would have soon
been routed "if not exterminated. Mr. G.
was undoubtedly wise, however, in declin-
ing, and we frankly think, Judge Folger, of
New York, has made a great personal sacri-
fice in yielding to the President’s wishes and
vacating his judgeship for so, short and
troubulous portfolio as the Treasury Depart-
ment. P. M. General James having con-
sented to remain till the session in December
at least, the President sent his name in also
to the Senate,(with Judge Folger‘s) to cover
a possible doubt as to his tenure of office.
It was supposed this would ohave ended the
called session, as 'President Arthur notified
his senatorial friends that he did not desire
their. further continuance. In acting upon
several postmasters and tide waiters, (among.
which was that of our editorial brother,
Tibbitts, as collector of New London), the
Senate came to a Mahone postmaster 'at
Lynchburg, Va. The present incumbent is
or was on Union soldier, but has twice or
thrice been derelict in his accounts, and also
aided and abetted the election of the Demo-
cratic over the Republican congressman in
that district at the last election. The Demo-
cratic Senate, led 'by that brilliant patriot,
old Senator Johnston, of Va., are now great-
ly exercised as to the retention of this ex-
Union soldier, and threaten to filiibustcr till
after the election in Virginia on the eighth
‘of November. Friday’s executive session
lasted till nearly daylight this Saturday
morning, and now, at the close of the day,
theYdilatory proceedings are still kept up by
the Democrats, with every prospect, at this
writing, of another long session. Bourbon
Senator J ohnstcn announces that a change in
this office at this time would lose the hour-
bons not less than ten thousand votes, which
grearly stimulates the Mahone interest in the
Senate to hold out; and makes more dogged
the resistance and stubborness of the hour-
bon senators. It is quite widely hoped and
believed that this special session will in some
manner terminate this evening. -

The arrival here from Charleston of the
First Connecticut Regiment on Thursday,
was the occasion of quite a stir in local
military as well as an event of especial in-
terest to our many Connecticut residents
here. The regiment bad a sort of desultory
arrival, portions coming in on as many dif-
ferant trains. The boys were received by
the Washington Light Infantry and escorted
to the space in front of the Arlington, where
they were reviewed by Gen. Sherman and
others. The regiment then filed down Penn-
sylvania Avenue to the armory of the Light
Guards in the old Globe building, and stack-
ing their arms left for a hurried perambula-
tion of the capital and a hasty supper. The
fine marching and exceptionally good music
of -Colt's Band won many plaudits from the
crowds seemingly eager to do the. Connecti-
cut b0ys special bono’r. Senator Plait visited
the regiment at the armory, and General
Hawley did what he could to have their re-
ception here an, enjoyable one. The men
were all enthusiastic over their reception at
Charleston, and cordial welcomes elsewhere
along the line‘of their trip homeward.
Gog. Bigelow, staff and other Connecticut
friends remained'to visit the Atlanta Fair.
The Governor was made the recipient of a
suit of cotton jean, picked from the boil in
the field, spun, woven, dyed and made up,
all the same day. This is rather exceeding
Yankee rush and enterprise.
Gov. Jewell reached here Thursday night.
He had a long interview with President Ar-
thur on Thursday and left for home that even-

est, as chairman of the National Republican
Committee, in Senator Mahone‘s fight in

London, Tibbetts, was gracefully nominated

Secretary Windom’s credentials as Senator
from Minnesota were received to-day. The
Senator will deservedly wear a sort of na-
tional character with his senatorial toga, and
in. spite of himself become prominent as a
western presidential candidate four years
hence.
The instructions to the special agents of

from his abscess in the side resulting from
an injury, is in receipt of all sorts of
“cranky" suggestions as to the best manner

never had any symptoms of cancer, but
some over-zealous reporter started the false
rumor and the Senator is paying the penalty
of the false information.

Fire on Spring Hill.
A dwelling house belonging to and occu-
pied by Mr. John Kelley, located on the John
Jarvis property, Spring Hill, was discovered
to he on fire, early on Sunday morning and
was entirely destroyed, together with the
furniture, the family barely escaping with
their lives. Mr. Kelley, awht’ has been an
invalid for several months, was with diffi-
culty, rescued from» the building. Mr.
Kelley and his wife are well advanced in life
and the loss of their little home will be a se-
rious matter with them. The building was
insured through O.E.Wilson in the Williams-

are therefore in urgent need. A subscription
paper is being circulated for their relief.

New York papers of Saturday last say that
the New England Railroad Company have
offered to lease the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad, but do not state
whether “Barkis is willing,” and it is fair to

together with the Union and Central Pacific
Roads; and when these lenses are consumma-
ted wont Danbury and Boston crow?
The President and officers of the New

The Connecticut troops arrived home from
Charleston, last Friday, They returned by
rail, having become thoroughly disgusted
with the steamer chartered for the trip-
Governor Bigelow is said to have believed
the vessel unsafe, and agreed‘to pay the ad-
ditional cost of returning by rail, some $4,-
000, outof his own pocket. The officers,
however, started a paper and raised some
$1,800 towards the necessary amount- The
troops had a thoroughly delightful time in
Charleston, where they were received and
entertained in the most hospitable manner.
Danbury & Norwalk Railroad.
At the annual meeting of the stockholders
of this company held at Danbury, on Thurs-
day last, the following Board of Directors
were elected for the ensuing year :—Roswell
P. Flower, New ,York; James W. Hyatt,
Norwalk; William C. Street, Norwalk; 0r-
rin Benedict, Bethel; Edgar S. Tweedy, Dan-
bury; Lucius P. Hoyt, Danbury; David P.
Nichols, Danbury; F. St. John Lockwood,
Norwalk ; Edwin Sherwood, Southport ;
Nathan M. George, Danbury; Henry Mc-
Harg, New York.
The annual report to the stockholders was
a very favorable one, showing an increase of
receipts over the large receipts of last year,
besides containing a detailed statement of the
amounts paid out during the past four years
during which time steel rails have been sub-
stituted for iron ones, new locomotives, pas-
senger and freight cars added, new engine
house, machine shop, and car house at Dan-
bury, air brakes on locomotives and cars, and
Miller’s platform on cars, together with nu-
merous other additions which are classed as
betterments, and which have added about
twenty-two per cent. on the capital stock to
the value of the property, which added to
the dividends paid during the same time show
net earnings for the past four years of more
than eight per cent. per annum. Besides the
amount paid, which are classed as better-
merits, large amounts have been paid for new
ties, new bridges, in opening ditches, repair-
ing station houses, &c., which are classed as
ordinary expenses, but which have added
many thousand dollars to the actual value of
the company. There was appended to the
Superintendent’s report, the report of State
Railroad Commissioners, after their last
month's examination. of the road, in which
they designate it as first-class, and in other,re-
spects their report was highly commendatory;
As the stockholders voted to have the report
printed,it will probably be soon in their hands
and will, we think, prove pleasant reading
for them.
Teacher’s Institute in Bethel.
An Institute will be held at Bethel.Novem-
ber 10, 11, and 12, under the auspices of Sec.
Northrop of the State Board of Education,
who will be assisted by President Noah
Porter and Mark Bailey, of Yale College; I.

A class from the State Normal School will
illustrate certain Normal methods, and a class
from the First Grammar School of Water-
bury will give an Object Lesson in United
States History.
An attractive lecture with stereoplicon ii-
lustrations is expected on Thursday even-
ing.
On Friday evening, Prof. Pitkin will lec-
ture on “Torpedo Warfare," illustrated with
Stereopticon Views. He has been instructor
in Chemistry for several years at the United
States Torpedo Station, Newport, “Prof.
Pitkin has the advantage of a comparatively
new subject, and brings out, with the aid of
the stereoptican and experiments, fresh and
exceedingly interesting facts and information
in regard to the power and effectiveness of
torpedoes, which are so revolutionizing our
idea and methods of naval warfare.”
All School Ofilcers are requested to co-
operate in the work of this institute by
closing their schools under their charge, and
securing the attendance of their teachers. It
is believed that the improved methods of
teaching suggested will more than compen-
sate for the time given to the teachers .- The
names of the lecturers engaged promise a ses-
sion of great interest and profit.
School Visitors and Committees are cordi-
ally invited to attend. _ .
All the meetingsmrc open to the public.
The evening session will be of a specially
popular. character.
Free entertainment will be provided by the
citizens of Bethel.
Free return tickets will be issued over the

Rev. John A. Hamilton’s Sermon.
__ The Religious Herald, of Hartford, Oct.
1 27th,]. speaking of the annual meeting of the
‘General‘ Conference of the Congregational
Churches of "Coau, at West Winsted, be-
ginning Tuesday. Oct. 25th, says: “The ser-
mon of Rev. John A. Hamilton, Tuesday
' evening, was admirably adapted to the Com-
munion season 'which followed it. Taking
Jer. ix. 23 24 as a text, he brought his hear-
ers_to the conclusion that the only way for
mortal man to know God, is to see him in
the Lord Jesus Christ, and be carried by the
accepted life of Christ into the personal
consciousness of his in-working power. The
application of the sermon was very effective,
andthe symbols took on a special charm
from its influence. The whole evening ser-
vice was very helpful to the faith and zeal of
large attendance.”

THE WATER SUPPLY.
BOROUGH MEETING.’
It will be seen by an advertisement in an-
other column that a special Borough meeting
is to be held on Saturday afternoon next to
take into consideration the _Water Supply of
the Borough and means of permanently in-
creasing thesame. . It has been very forcibly
demonstrated to our citizens during the past
two months that the present capacity for
storing water is not sufficient. Some action
should be taken at once in the matter. If'
the present reservoirs are really not large
enough to store sufficient water they should
be made higher or more land secured. We‘
understand that additional land, suitable for
the purpose can be obtained at the upper end
of the upper reservoir. We trust that the
will appear at the meeting with Well matured
plans and fully prepared to give the voters
all necessary information in regard to what
can be dine, how it. can be done, cost, etc.,
in order that they may vote intelligently.
The rains of Saturday helped the supply
of water considerably, and the storm of yes-
terday probably still more. The Commis-
sioners, therefore, yesterday left the water
turned on but not at ‘full pressure, and pro-
pose leaving it on for the present. They
urge, however, strict economy in the use of
water until the supply has been largely in-
creased. #

The robbers pried open a wooden shutter,
and by cutting out a large pane of glass had

Amusements.
Next Monday night, at the Opera House,
we are promised an entertainment of high
character, specially designed for the lyceum
stage, for people of culture and refinement.
The performers are Alfred J. Knight, the
Shakespearean student, assisted by Frank M.
Howard, buffo; Sophie M. Osborn, elocu-
tidnist; Emma Howard,.soprano and W. J.
Groom, pianist. The manager says':
“ It is certainly very difilcult to make out
a programme, or give a description of this
entertainment—that so well. deserves a visit.
It however has its parts and divisions, chang-
ing from comedy to. tragedy, and from con-
cert to opera. There are two distinct enter.
tainments presented in the Professor’s study,
each perfect in itself. The first of a classic
order, managed by the Professor; the second
devoted entirely to fun, improvised by his
harum—scarum brother “Dick.”
The audienae is allowed to have a peep be-
hind the scenes—as it were—and in the pro-
fessor’s study see a much more attractive en-
tertainment than could be shown outside.”
At Music Hall, next Monday evening, we
are to be favored with the play of "Baron
Rudolph," by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Knight
and their company. The Baltimore Amen”-
oan says:
“Baron Rudolph,” the new comedy drama
by Bronson Howard, which Mr. and Mrs.
George S. Knight are presenting this week
at the Holliday, has achieved a marked suc-
cess. The plot is powerful and evolved with
great skill, the situations ingenious and the
dialogue bright and fdrcible. Mr. Knight,
who is a finished actor, invests the character
of the Baron—who, through dissipation, de-
generates from a gentleman to a tramp—with
deep interest. Mrs. Knight as Mrs. Dash-
wood, a gay widow, divides with Mr. Knight
the honors and sing several songs which win
warm appreciation from the audience. The
company supporting Mr. Knight is- a strong
one, and the whole performance is even and
satisfactory. Baron Rudolph will prove a
strong attraction this season, and in it the
Knights will gain as complete a success as
they did in Otto. The play is handsomely
mounted.
Prof. Reynolds held forth on mesmerism,
at the Opera House, four nights last week.
The venerable Mrs. Mary A. Selleck: de-
parted this life on. Saturday last, in the
eightieth year of her age. She was the widow
of Henry Selleck, deceased, who was for
many years a sclectman of this town,- and
the mother of Rev. Chas. M. Selleck, town
clerk Henry K. Selleck, Geo. Ward Selleck
and Theo. D. Selleck. Her funeral will be
attended this afternoon.
Burglaries. .
Sometime during the night of Saturday
last, theresidence of Water Commissioner
W. S. Moody, on East avenue, was entered
by thieves, who made good their escape, car.
tying with them a.gold hunting case watch,
with gold chain, anlovercoat, a black Derby
hat, eight solid silvernapkin rings, a pair of
gold spectacles, and a number of plated ta-
ble articles, valued altogether at some $150.
The family whs not disturbed, and knew
nothing of the loss until Sunday morning.
All the doors inside the house were opened,
but how the thieves gained. an entrance is a
mystery.
On the same night the house of Geo. W.
Cram, on the same avenue, was also entered.
Here, however, the thieves gained entrance
by breaking a window glass in a very bung-
ling manner. They secured eighteen silver
spoons, two dozen forks, a meerschaum pipe
and an umbrella, which, last article they
probaly needed to protect them from the,
rain then falling. It is evident that the
thieves were not the same parties who opera-
ted at South Norwalk the previous night, as
reported elsewhere.
About one‘o'clock on the same night the
household of Joseph Mattheis, Main Street
were aroused from their slumbers by strange
noises evidently originating in the sa-
loon beneath—which had been closed
for the night. They rushed out in their night
clothes with visions of burglars before their
eyes. A cautious'iinvestigation revealed the
fact thatiat least one man was in the saloon.
How he get there was amystery, but a mys-
tery soon solved. A German patron' had
fallen asleep in an obscure corner, and when
the saloon was closed he was locked in.
Waking up he was astonished to find himself
a prisoner, cutoff from home and friends.
We much fear he will never hear the last of
this story. ‘

The annual session of the Grand Division,
Sons of Temperance, of this State, was held ‘
in the Concord Division room
last. ' ,.
Two hundred or more members of the
Grand Division and visitors from the subor-
dinate divisions were in attendance.
The meeting was'callcd to order by the
G. W. P., John G. North, of New Haven, at
10 o'clock a. m., and closed-at 6 o'clock p.
in. The usual order' of business was trans.
acted to the evident satisfaction of a majority
of the members. Most of the real business
of the Grand Division was referred to the
subordinate Divisions, as the time was most-
ly given to hearing reports of representatives
of the subordinate Divisions and in electing
officers for the ensuing year. The following
were elected as ofiicers: -
G. W. P., F. M. Hawley, New Canaan;
G. W. A., Mrs. A. A. Carpenter, Hartford;
G. 8., H. H. Quintard, Hartford; G. T., R.
H. Tucker, A'n'sonia; G. Chaplain, F. L. Ai-
ken, Silver Mine; G. 0., E. C. Graham,
Bridgeport; G. 8., Edgar N. Sloan, Norwalk.
- These officers were installed and entered
upon the duties of their respective offices be-
fore thc close of the session. .

in the Order and in the cause of Temperance,
and he will be heartily seconded in his tern.

the best sessions of the Grand Divisions.
The semi-annual session will be held in
Hartford in April, and the annual session in
Danbury, October, 1882. Tlfe expense to
Concord Division was heavy, but the mem-
bers will do ,their best to defray it. This
Division has done good work for thirty-seven
years and seldom calls for outside assistance.
Liquor selling must be very profitable,

ed for groceries and provisions ever find fault
with dealers for charging ten cents a glass
for liquor or five cents for a schooner of beer ?

The following, which we copy from the

We have sometimes been asked why is it
that some wedding ceremonies taking place
in town receive so much newspaper attention
while others apparently not less important
in all respects are com ratively unnoticed ?
We reply : First— but it takes all kinds
of people to make u world—even the little
world of Stamford—and different ideas are
held on these subjects as on almost every
other. Some people desire—or at least don't
object-to have these pleasant family occasions
reported, at length; others seem tohave a dis-
taste for such publication, or assume that the
printer by some oecultscionce will find out
all about it without receiving any information
from any of the parties concerned. The
Advocate has no reporters who are willing to
thrust themselves forward upon such occa-
sions, uninvited, even for the purpose of ap-
praising the wedding presents or writing out
the inventory of the bride's trousseau. _
