terested in Civil Service Reform, which re-
sulted in the organization of a Connecticut
State Association for the promotion of reform
in the public service. It would be easy for
', one who is acquainted with Connecticut poli-
tics, and with the antecedents of some of the
gentlemen concerned in the movement, to
criticise it and hold it up to ridicule. In
every public enterprise, social, political or
philanthropic, may be found men who thrust
themselves forward, and by their‘ known
character expose the whole movement to the
shafts of satire and the suspicion of selfish
motives. Doubtless the New Haven meeting
was not entirely free from elbments which
to the cynical spectator suggested the incon-
gruous and grotesque. But the presence of
a few men who appear to have taken an
active interest in the formation of the society
lifts it far above any cynical comment.
Such men as err-President Woolsey—in
whom is presented the rare combination of a
refomer’s zeal with a philosopher’s sweet
, spirit—President Porter, Professors Sumner
and Fisher, efoovernors Hubbard and An-
drews, and , many others [who might be
mentioned, do not engage in a movement of
this sort except with definite knowledge and
set purpose, and a conscientious desire to
promotes the general good. The names of a
majority of the signers of the call are suffi-
cient to give the proceedings dignity and
importance, and there are not enough uneasy
self-seekers and demagogues in it to ;belittle
it. It was to a certain extent a mixture of
parties. Ex-Governor Andrews, the perm-
anent president of the association, is a Re-
publican, and ex-Governor Hubbard, the
temporary chairman, a Democrat. The
Hon. Roger Averill and Judge Brewster,
Republicans, of Danbury, were flanked by
the Democratic District Attorney Hammond
and ex—Mayor Sumner, of Hartford, and the'
members who enrolled themsleves are about
evenly divided between ,the two parties.
It is fair criticism, perhaps, to say that
none of the enrolled members hold any ofilce
in the service to be reformed; but in equal
fairness it may be said that there is no rea-
son for suspecting that any of them desires
one. They'adopted a simple platform in
their constitution, which sets forth their
.belief that “merit and not mere darty
services should determine the appointments
to the minor offices in the civil admintstra-
tion of the United States Government,” and
proclaims the purpose of the association to
be “to promote the establishment of a sys-
tem of appointment, promotion and removal
which shall make this principle a rule of
practice." No specific plan‘is proposed, but
a general principle is set forth to the enforce-
ment of which the association devotes itself.
Probably this is the only basis upon which
such an organization is practicable if it is to
serve any useful purpose. The foundation
is not only sufficiently broad for all good
citizens to unite upon, but it .is one
to which no good citizen can raise an objec-
tion. All parties, and pretty nearly all the
politicians, agree in the theory that merit and
not party services, should determine the ap-
pointments. The difficulty is that no party
puts the theory in practice, and actually
makes merit the test. The purpose then,
of this and of similar associations—the
formation of which, in various parts of the
country, is one of the good signs of the times
—is to compel the parties to put it in their
practice as well as in their platforms. The
problem the Reformers have to grapple with-
if not how to bring the parties up to making
promises, but how to induce them to do what
they promise. -To this end they invoke agi-
tation and discussion—agitation of the evils
of the,“spoils system,” sojcallcd,and sober se-
rious discussion of remediess. In this they
are wise. .
No matter how wisely orihow honestly the
public service may be administered—and we
do not believe it was ever administered more
wisely or honestly than now—there are, and
must inevitably be, under our system of ap-
pointment, errors and abuses that under some
other system might; be, if not possible, at
least less frequent. . Nothing is lost by agi-
tation of this and simular questions. If we
may not hope for- a perfect system, we may
certainly strive to correct our imperfections.
very well understood even by such reformers
as Mr. David A. Wells, but which that gen-
tleman indicated a leaning toward, promises
to better existing conditions, by all means let
us try it. At any rate let there be. copious
discussion of the whole system, and pending
the discussion, the distinguished gentlemen
engaged in the work of reform cannot give
themselves more effective or profitable occu-
pation than by giving their individual atten-
tion to such specific cases of abuse of the ap-
pointing power as come under their immedi-
ate notice. This calls for something in ad-
dition to mere devotion to a general prin-
ciple; something akin to courage ; since
it is a personal assertion, and may provoke
personal ill-well. If for instance, the Yale
College professors, or any other of the prom-
inent gentlemen engaged in this movement,
should have knowledge of a Federal appoint-
ment that was clearly determined by party
services and not by merit, they would be
doing a courageous thing and a public service
by protesting against that particular act of
the appointing power. Great reform move-
ments are commendable always, but no one
should shirkhis individual responsibility.—

Vaccine and Human Virus.
To the Editor of the Tribune :
Sm: In your article in Sunday’s paper
concerning the views and arguments of the
anti-vaccination party, there is one fact to
be noticed which bears strongly upon the
question. Although they are able to prove
by the death returns that the number of fatal
cases has increased since vaccnatioh has been
general, still I do not believe that any addi-
tion will be made from 1870 to 1880, and my
reason for such belief is that during the last
fifteen years the matter used has generally
been vaccine virus, while over fifty years
before true vaccine virus was never employ-
ed, but matter was taken from one patient
to another, until it became thoroughly
“humanized,” by absorbing something from
each system it passed through. It finally
became merely an irritating substance, which
while it would cause an abscess to form,
would not produce these changes in the
blood which would prevent the variola poison
from being absorbed. This is the reason
why we have seen so many local epidemics
of small-pox ; but until we have fully tested
the vaccine virus and seen it fail I see noth-
ing better than that. Every physician is
cognizant of the fact that there are many
old persons who, having been '_ vaccinated in
early youth with vaccine virus, have passed
through life without danger from smallpox.
If'vaccination with true vaccine virus were
made imperative by law, I believe that all
small-pox epidemics would soon ceade.

On Thursday last, the ceremony of
“Breaking Ground,” for the Woman's Na-
tional Hospital, took place with appropriate
exercises at Wilton. The day was most au-
spicious, and was viewed by the founder,
and friends of the proposed institution as a
good omen, heralding the success of their un-
dertaklug,
The site‘ selected is a most admirable and
delightful one on an elevation known as
High-ridge, and has a broad view, most di-
versified in all directions. To the south one
can look down, over hill and dale, upon, the
Sound, while on all other sides a charming
panorama of pastoral beauties are unfolded to
the eye. The plot contains over 150 acres,
which has generously been _ donated for the
purpose by the founder,‘Dr. J. E. Turner,
who was also the original founder of the
Inebriate Asylum in Binghamton, N. Y. and
he thinks the outlook from this one will be
broader and much finer than that at Bingham-
ton, although that has one so‘ fair and love-
ly that it hardly seems possible to equal it
anywhere else; but this he claims surpasses
it, as it has the additional attractive feature
of a fine water view.
Everything had been in readiness for some
weeks to commence active operations upon
the project, but on account of the serious
illness of Mr. W. D. Gregory, a brother-in-
law of the founder, and one of the Directors
the momentous day had been putoff in hopes
of his recovery, but the Doctor felt that he
could not longer postpone it, and yet Mr
Gregory was so low, that they could not
make any very general time of the occasion
as had been intended; so with but ._a few
days notice, citizens and friends gathered
together on the hill-top on Thursday morn-
ing to the number or some hundredsand
proceeded to take the first orEinitiatory steps
towardsthe erection of the Hospital by the
breaking of the groundpreparatory to the
reception of the foundation walls of the ed.
ifice. The farmers of the neighborhood
brought about forty of their ox teams with
ploughs with which to do the opening work
These were arrangeddn a line, flanked by
citizens with carriages on one hand, and
ladies and gentlemen on foot, circling around
in front and after artist Readman had taken
a good picture of the scene from his stand
the exercises were commenced with a prayer
by the Rev. Mr. Barnet of St.Matthews Epis-
copal Church.
The first sod was then raised and. placed
in a barrow by Grace, is young daughter of
Dr. Turner, and her little brother Joseph
wheeled it away. Dr. Crothers of Hartford,
acting as master of the ceremonies thenin-
troduced Rev. Frank Thompson of the
Congregational Church, Wilton, who made
a welcoming address, depicting in a few.
brief but well-chosen remarks, the necessity
of such an institution in our land. His ad-
dress was well received, and ,in response
to a call Rev. John G. Davenport of Water-
bury, Conn., a native of Wilton, came for.
ward and read the following poem.
Hills of our native town, swellingin beauty,
- Kissed by the sunshine and bathed with
the dew;
Reverent and still ’neath the stars’ benedic-
tion,
Rising in grandeur the morning to view.
Over your summits the shadows have sported,
Fierce autumn winds there in council have
met;
Snow-wreaths have wrapped you, and spring
her bright banners
On your glad heights with rejoicing hath set.
There, through the years, has the pIOWman
in patience
Followed his share as it furrowed the sod;
There has the corn, its proud tassels outhang-
mg.
Whispered the praises of nature and God.
There'has the wheat,'as an innocent ocean ‘
Billowed and tossed in the scent-laden gale;
There have the sheaves gleamed in wealth all
unmeasured, ’
Awaiting the stroke of the pitiless flail.
There have oft trodden the feet that grew
weary,
Hands have there labored that ceased from
their toil; '
Silent, for aye, ’neath the clover and daisies
Sweetly at rest are these sons of the soil.
Heights of our native town, dear to our vis-
ion,
Sacred with memories hallowed and pure ;
Fertile and fair in the sunlight of heaven,
Blessings be yours while the earth shall
endure.
We bring you an added honor,
0, beautiful hills!
We teach a new measure to-day,
To your musical rills.
We lift up your summits on high,
In the view of the land:
With the heights that are glorious afar,
Henceforth you shall stand 1
For the sweep of your swelling knolls,
And the scene so fair,
With the chrism§of joyous life
That’s filling the air.
From the granite depths beneath,
To the nearest star—
Aye, e’en to the gate of pearl
That stands ajar—
We give to a cause most dear,
To the pure and good,
We consecrate to the weal
Of Womanhood.
_ We come in the sacred love
Of the mother who gave as birth;
In the precious love- of the wife;—
The nearest of all on earth;
In the tender love of the sister
Who shared our childhood’s joy:
In the love of the dimplcd darlings
Who our hearts and hands employ ;
In the love of the fair and sweet ones .
Who have crossed our earthly path,
And by the charm of a noble soul '
Have saved us from sin and wrath ;
In the love of all whose beauty
Hath touched the world with grace,
To the cause of womanly purity
We consecrate this place;
In the name of that noble lady— .
The mother of Washington—
And of her whose brow is moist e’en yet
With the kiss of her glorious son.
In the name of her who cradled
The Christ on her virgin breast.
And who, in every age and clime,
Shall be hailed as richly blest;
In the name, for thesake of Womanhood,
In its priceless, peerless worth,
The crowning joy that has come from God.
To this evil and weary earth;
These hills, with all their wealth we give
To benefit and to save
The kindly spirit that gives us life
' -And;that guards it to the grave.
It:s true, we’re but a handful,
ks we gather to break thesod ;
~ . I. But we thus begin a mighty work:
_ Thatshall'tell for man and God. -
Andlnany gaze as we gather
And look with eager eye
'At the deed here done in weakness,
And think of ‘ the bye and his.
There are blood-shot eyes that watch us,
With hope’s enkindled gleam,
And a glimpse of a brighter future
Steals into them like a dream.
- There are eyes all red with weeping
. Whose streaming tears are stayed,
As they turnto the golden promise.
That is here this day displayed.(

The rosy dawn approaches,
Behold! the morning star!
The daylight speeds its coming;
Wake! saddened heart to see;
Percllaucc here’s blessed promise
Of life and bliss for thee.
Heaven stoops to view our action,
And strikes its golden lyrcs,
While bells of gratulation
Peal in celestial spires.
Hell groans through all its caverns,
And feasts on tears to-day;
Some of its fairest triumphs
It sees now thrust away.
Joy for the holy era, the true ,
In earth and heaven is born,
And;cvermore shall blessed light
Gild this auspicious morn.
And so our hopes are blended
For the work that’s new begun;
Smile on it kindly heavens,
Beam on it, star and sun.
To broad and firm foundations.
Give place, 0, solid earth ;
Rise stable walls of granite,
In beauty and in worth.
Stand, boldl'y, polished pillars,
Ye stand for truth and right,
And to sweet heaven-born charity,
Lend all your comely might.
Lift up your heads, 0, towers!
Conspicuous afar;
Reflect, O, pictured windows,
The blaze of sun and star. 4 _
Crown all these heights, 0, structurcl
With majesty and grace,
And out upon the nation look
With fair inspiring face.
And up to thee for life and light
The tossed and wrecked shall come,
And thou to them shall refuge give,
And love, and help; and home.
And songs of praise shall rise from thee
To Him whom we adore, .
And o‘er thee the heavens shall bond
In blessing evermore.
Honor enduring to him
Who has summoned us here; .
The man who knows nothing of doubt,
Who knows nothing of fear.
The man who is giving his life
To a thought that is true,
That is sacred, and grand, and sublime,
And sojathomed by few.
The man who in heat and in cold,
At noontide and sunset the same,.
Moves on to the goal of his hopes,
His spirit with zeal all aflame. -
We pray for his life and his weal
Long years to his portion be given;
Success to the aims, for whose sake
He has waited,has toiled and has striven.
He’s properly named, we feel,
A Turner indeed;
He’s turning the thoughts of men
To a serious need.
He’s turning their worldly store
To a worthy end,
Inducing them more and more
Their aid to lend.
He’s turning the nation’s eyes
To our goodly town,
As he touches its hills with the light
Of a fair renown.
And we trust he will shortly show
What is best of all- ‘ .
, That he’s turning some from the snare
That' so sadly enthrall.
That he's turning the wretched, enslaved,
From bondage severe, ‘
To the service that’s liberty,
Perfect and dear.
After the applause, over the reading, had
subsided, Dr. Crothers made a brief and tell-
ing speech, congratulating the citizens of
Wilton in having this institution located
among them ; Rev. Mr. Deutcher of the M.
E. Church pronounced the benediction. The
ploughmen, led by the veteran, John Jones,
Esq,, a gentleman 89 years of age, then start-
the whole distance of the proposed site, ‘
having been previously staked out.
After this had been accomplished, those
present adjourned to the large tent which
had been erected at the foot of the hill and
at which the South Norwalk veteran caterer;
D'Artois, was waiting with a bountiful colla-
tion for the inner man and woman. Here all
were fed, and well fed, by a corps of lady
and gentlemen friends of the Doctor’s under
the leadership of his amiable wife and con-
uous among whom was Dr. Shepard and wife
of Brooklyn, N. Y. ; after having had their
fill, all departed welhsatisfied with the suc-
cess attending the breaking grouid. ‘
The building will be 370 feet long, 70 feet
wide, having a center pavilion, with tower
and wings at each end, with a frontage of 00
feet.
The principal entrance will be in the south
wing, through a carriage porch and vestibule
entering a spacious hall on the first floor, 16
feet wide, at either side of which are the re-
ception rooms, physiciaus’ offices, doc.
Through folding doors, at the end of this
hall commences the main corridor 12 feet
wide, extending the length of the building.
with a transverse corridor in the center pa-
vilion. At either side of the corridors are
the patient’s rooms, in size about 16 by 20
feet, arranged en-suitc and singly. In the
north wing are the chapel, library and dining
rooms; adjoining them, the conservatory.
The three upper floors are arranged in the
same manner and are reached by;;easy and
spacious staircases and hydraulic elevators.
The lower or basement story will contain
the Various ofilces, kitchens, store rooms,
heating and ventilatingjgapparatus, few 3
rooms for special cases, and rooms specially
arranged for Turkish baths.
The exterior of the building will be natur-
al rock-faced granite with dressed jambs to
. the openings, cut groinsgto'jhe corners and
cut string courses.
The columns of the porticos and loggias
will be granite with ;carved capitals, the
loggias will extend on {three sides of the
building and the columns and arches will
support the walls of the buildingiabove.
All interior walls and partitions will be
built with brick carriedLupjto the roofs which
will be covered with slate, and the corridors
and balls will be arched with brick and con-
creted so that in case of fire it can be confin-
_ ed to the apartment in which it may occur,
without any danger of spreading through the
entire building. The elevators will be on.
closed in brick shafts with iron doors; the
heating and ventilating apparatus will be in
a brick tunnel underneath the corridor, wil'h
boilers located outside the building. The
interior finish will be of hard native woods,
oiled. Every room will have an open fire
place and many of them will have alcoves
for beds and all fitted up with gas, electric
bells, doc. "
The water supply will be from a reservoir
on an adjoining eminence 30 feet higher than
the roof of the building, and the plumbing
and drainage will be arranged in the most
scientific sanitary manner. J - .

Nouwxnx, CONN., Fall season of '81.
To the Farmers of Fairfield and Litchfield
Counties : ‘
GENTLEMEN; I desire to call your atten-
tion to the fact that I shall have this Fall the
largest stock of dry lumber ever offered in
this vicinity. Of barn covering I have now
on the Erie canal, and due here by the 20th
of this month, 250 thousand feet of 10-inch
boards, dressed and matched in the finest mill
in the world;
I am also shipping from Bay City, Michi-
gan, 225 thousand feet of narrow barn cover-
ing. This will be planed two sides, matched
in the middle of the edge so as to turn either
side out, and for onion and tobacco barns
will be unsurpassed. This lumber is allot
the cut of 1880, is dry, sound knotted, and
with little or no, sap, being manufactured
from stock boards. I am receiving and sell-
ing as they arrive the shingles from two mills
to wit: The T. H. McGraw d6 Co. and] E.
J. Hill brands. 0f.eaeh of these I have sold
during the past few years several millions,
am thoroughly acquainted with them, and
can guarantee them as unexcelled by any
shingle in the state of Michigan. The lum
her is soft, free from shake, the shingles are
honestly made, and I will warrant them to
cover 140 feet to the thousand when laid 5
1—2 inches to the weather. I have not known
a case where they have not exceeded this.
I have also arranged for a full line of clear
dry 1 and 1 1-4 inch Spruce, 14 feet long, as
well as the ordinary length of 13 feet. In
all grades of lumber used in storing and our-
ing onions I aim to keep fully supplied. Am
prepared to make special figures for car load
lots of lumber for tobacco cases, either cut up
or simply surfaced two sides. 'In Spruce
timber, I keep a full assortment of all usual
sizes, from 2x3 to 8x8 and 6x10 up to about
40 feet in length.-
Gentlemen, There is no doubt about the
fact that a person can sometimes go into the
wholesale market and buy. dry lumber, but
as a' general rule the way to get it is to buy it,
take good care of it, and season it. However
unpleasant it may be to carry a years stock,
it is the only way I can find to give my cus-
tomers what they want. It is what I have
done for three years, and what I shall con—
tinue to do so long as my trade will justify it.
In all grades of finishing lumber I cffer
stock of Pine, Spruce, Hemlock, Ash,I Black
Walnut, Cherry, Whitewood, and Southern
Pine, from one to three years old.
I will deliver lumber promptly anywhere
thgt customerswill pay for taking it, by rail,
team or: vessel, and my facilities for so doing
are as perfect as I desire. Nine-tenths of my
lumber I buy from the man who cuts down
the tree. I get as near the producer as it is
possible to gel, and ,deliver the production to
my customers as low as is consistent with a
fair, reasonable-profit to myself, to which I
am entitled. In this way I am enabled to
offer to the public every advantage of the
wholesale, market as well as to reap some
benefit for myself , which I am free to say is
the primary object. -
Inquiries in person or by correspondence
will be promptly attended to. soliciting a
continuance of the patronage so liberally ex-
. dell heretofore, I am respectfully yours
I '4 E. J , BILL.
