Wedding Presents.
We have often been struck at Weddings
with the incongruity and unwisdom of many
of the marriage gifts by friends._ A young
cauple just commencing life in narrow cir-
cumstances, and with no reasonable prospect
of anything much better, at least for some
time to come, often receive elegant and ex-
pensive articles of luxury and ornament,
most unsuitable to their condition,.ill-match-
ing with the homes and furniture they are
likely to have, and tending to awaken hurt-
ful ambition and discontent. How much
better for them, and how much more judi-
cicus in friends, that their outfit should be
of things useful more than of costly articles
of ornamentation and “vertu” not comport—
ing with their surroundings, and many of
which, perhaps, must be locked up for years
until they are tarnished and depreciated,
perhaps burned or stolen. The send-off of
brides of former days was of a much more
substantial and desirable character than now,
if not so beautiful and so flattering.

The New England Manufacturers
and Mechanics Institute Fair.
Boston never does anything by halves. If
she starts a project in earnest, and she never
gives much time to nonsense, the necessary
forces are set at work to carry it forward to
success. Her thoroughness in this regard,
and her known solidity financially, have
given the just title of the “_ Hub of the Uni-
verse." If she erects a monument the world
looks on inzadmiration for the simple reason
that it means something, and was built to
stand. Does she give a Musical Peace J ubi—
lee, the whole country flock towards her to
hear and be entertained, for they know if
Boston offer a chorus of 10,000 voices she
will not put her patrons of! with 9,999. Im-
bued with this spirit of real earnestness and
fidelity to promises the Manufacturers and
Mechanics of Boston, as an association, came
before the people this year, as they have
done in years gone by, through what they
style an Institute Fair, and exhibit to the
world the kind Of stuff they are made of. The
structure of brick and iron which they have
erected for their Fair covers six acres of
ground, and within and without is a model
of mechanical skill. Philadelphia’s twenty
acre building laps over it some in s'ze, but
for system of arrangements and variety and
beauty of articles on view, it is its equal.
To go into details of the million objects ex-
hibited would be a simple impossibility, for
there are sewing machines enough to attend
to the wants instantly of a large number of
people; Pianos, which if played together
would supply an army hankering for sweet
music: furniture good enough for the rich-
est, and so luxuriant that kings, if possessed
of it would rejoice; Machinery, which must
have taxed every model in the Patent Office
to produce; machines in operation weaving
fabrics in cotton, wool, and even silk, which
the Orientals, who as yet have not been able
to dispense with the use of their hands,
would shed tears could they see its opera-
tion; air blasts, hot and cold, capable of
making drafts down chimney as well as up ;
trip hammers that will crush a mountain
even though it be of iron—one man manipu-
lating the half-ton hammers; veneers from
wood, common and obscure so thinly cut, so
accurately applied to surfaces and furnished
so cheaply that the poorest is not too poor
to own his parlor ‘suite of rosewood, laurel
or bird’s eye maple; household appliances
kitchenwise-those mysterous aids in the
cooking department which the lords of crea-
tion are supposed to know little about, and
rarely appreciate till after the dinner bell
rings; patent medicines, chiefly of New
England production, which, by the way,
should be their best recommendation, in
quantity and quality adequate to the curing
of the diseases of all creation should it si-
multaneously, so to speak, be taken sick;
new applications of the old principle of
hydrostatics in such variety as to daze the
most disciplined minds ; therapeutics in all
the varied details and forms which science
and study during the past few years have
given to the world. and finally to complete
the triangle of big words, obstetrics—and
the reader needn’t laugh either, for, to what
the medical world has here studied out he
may possibly owe his existence; and then
the marvellous fine art productions—works
of actual skill with genius prompting it, all
of which compared with what was twenty
years ago, indicate the vast strides Boston
has made in every field of thought. The
show is a great success, and of the hundreds
of thousands visiting it thus far, are nearly
twenty thousand of Boston’s schoolchildren.
who were admitted free, and by the way the
little folks have a department in the fair.
Pending the proposed close of the Fair be-
fore Thanksgiving, a movement is on foot in
Boston to take up what New York has appar- #
ently relinquished as hopeless—the project
of 1: World’s Fair for 1885. Capitalists have
it under advisementand the outlook is bright.

bench; at 16, a boatmuu on the Ohio canal;
at 18, studying in the Chester, 0., Semi-
nary; at 21, teaching in one of Ohio’s .com-
mon schools, pushing forward his own
studies at the same time; at 23, entered
Williams College, where at 26, he graduated
with the highest honors of his class; at 27 he

Fretting.
As for the comfort wcjlose through unbe-
lief, that is simply beyond our power of cal-
culation. Who has not made herself mis-
erable in thinking of the things that the fu-
ture hides 1’ The burdens of tomorrow
Crush many a sensitive soul, although the
Master’s words stand firm, that “the marrow
shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Strangely enough, the habit of fretting, like
other morbid habits, after a while begets a
certain appetite for fretting, and we take
comfort in repining and find pleasvre in woe,
Nonetheless do we suffer spiritual loss by
this custom, and constantly, in our homes
and personal experience, furnish illustrations
of the sin of unbelief.—Selected.

Mr. Rufus Wakeman goes from the gro-
cery business into bed making,having bought
out the mattress establishment conducted by
Mr. James E. Lees.
' The $3,000 raised by the ladies of Memo-
rial church has been invested in the house
and lot adjoining Mr. H. R. Treadwell and
owned by Mr. A. S. Hurlbutt. Rev. Mr.
Hart, of the Congregational church, now re-
sides in it, but he will soon retire to some
other dwelling. The house will be enlarged
and beautifled for its coming occupant, Rev.
A. N. Lewis.
Rumor says the caucus at the hotel at
which J. W. Hurlbutt was put in nomination
by the Democrats was irregular and showed
the color of subterfuge. There was only
about twenty at the caucus, while at all
democratic caucuses from 150 to 200 attend.
The regulars who wanted a hand in naming
the candidate but were cheated out of it, feel
outraged, and rumor says they are resolved
to get even by voting for the “ other teller."
One of those rare and interesting events—
a golden wedding,will be celebrated Monday
N ov. 7th, at the house of Mr. and Mrs. John
M. Jennings, Greens Farms, that date being
the 50th anniversary of their marriage.
From the'time the nuptial knot was tied for
them till now, they have lived in the same
house which, like the aged occupants, shows
little sign of change other than that of grow—
ing Old.
For the benefit of the Westporter, which
commented editorially two weeks ago on
“ Connecticdt’s charter,” conveying the idea
entertained by most people, that it is the
original charter—the one hid in the oak more
than 200 years ago, which hangs framed in
the State House at Hartford, we are enabled
to state that the charter which the Westporter
has been looking at is a copy. (It’s too bad,
but nevertherless true,) and no person living
knows where the original is.
Judge Folger, of the New York Supreme
Court, just appointed Secretary of the Treas-
ury, is an intimate friend of Rev. Mr. Hart,
of this place.
The Cornwall 8!. Pasterson Company have,
it is said, leased Westport’s new factory.
Recently railroad surveyors have been
ubiquitous here and very active in the inter-
est Of somebody, but they disclosed no in-
formation by which the parties employing
them could be ascertained. The average citi-
zen is impresscd with the fact that another
railroad is about to be built._
Mr. Henry E. Burr, of California, has ar-
rived. Hc was present, as stated in this col,
man, at the' recent death and burial of his
brother Louis. Since leaving Westport Sev-
eral years ago, Mr. Burr has been a great
traveler.
Sunday morning, Oct. 30th, at the Congre-
gational church, the theme of Rev. Mr.
Hart's discourse was the " Law of Divorce.”
He took his text from St. Mark, tenth chap-
ter, eleventh and twelfth verses, maintaining
the importance and dignity of the marriage
relation and showing how loose were the
ideas of the Jews, in early times, respecting
divorces. That a housewife putting too
much salt on the meat for her husband or
cooking it too much or too little, was suffi-
cient cause to put her away. The frivolous
reasons at this time for granting divorces has
a direct tendency to immorality. St. Paul
regarded marriage as a divine institution, and
Christ lays down the rule that the nuptial tie
is indissolnblc. Marriage was instituted be—
fore the existence of civil society, as for in-
stance Adam and Eve, and the marriage
pledges of a man and woman are not merely
between themselves, but to God. Any vio-
lation of the compact is a violation of the
word and command of God. No state can
have the right (it may have the power) to
make laws relative to divorce inconsistent
with the laws of God. Such laws if enacted,
cannot bind Christians. Marriage is not
strictly a civil contract. If civil only, a
man could take a wife the same as he could
buy a horse, and as often, and a woman take
a husband as she would buy goods at a shop.
Further, the state has no more right to legal-
ize a contract which the law of God con-
demns, than it has to legalize blasphemy or
idolatry. The Rev. gentleman spoke at some
length in the terse and interesting style
characteristic of him.
Westport patrons of the steamer Adelphi
are well satisfied with that vessel’s conduct

The Indian Summer ofLif'e.
In the life of the good man there is an
Indian summer more beautiful than that of
the seasons; richer, sunnier, and more sub-
lime than the most glorious Indian summer
the world ever knew it is the Indian summer
of the soul. When the glow of youth has
departed, when the warmth Of middle age is
gone, and the buds and blossoms of spring
are changing to the sere and yellow leaf;
when the mind of the good man, still and
vigorous, relaxes its labors, and the memor-
ies of a well-spent life gush forth from their
secret fountains, enriching, rejoicing and
fertilizing; then the trussful resignation of
the Christian sheds around II sweet and holy
warmth, and the soul, assuming a heavenly
lustre, is no glongcr restricted to the narrow
confines of business, but soars far beyond
the Winter of hoary gage, and dwells peace-
fully and happily upon :thc bright spring
which await within the gates of Paradise
evermorc. Let us strive for and look trust-
ingly forward to an Indian summer like this.
—Anon. '
Not long ago a young man in Carson got
married, and started for California with his
young wife. His father bade him good-
bye, and gave him the parental blessing.
"My son,” said the aged sire, shaking with
emotion, etc., "remember these words if
you never See me again. Never go intoa
place where you would not take your wife.”
Last week the old man went down to visit
them. He proposed a bear hunt, and they
were fortunate enough to track a grizzly to
his lair among some of the bowlders in the
Chaparel. As the two approached, the bear
roused up and sent forth a growl of defiance
which shook the trees. “Go in there and
kill ’im,” said the Old man excited. “Count
me out,” said the son. "Have I crossed
the seas and settled in America to raise a
coward?” shouted the father, brandishing
his gun, “I recollect your advice when 1
left Carson,” was the reply. “Didn’t you
tell me never to go where, I couldn’t take
my wife. Now, how would Sal look in there
with that bear ?" The old man clasped his
dutiful son to his bosom, and as the bear is-
fucd forth exclaimed : “Speaking of Sally,
let us hasten home; our prolonged absence
might cause her needless alarm.” In about
fifteen minutes they had reached the ranch,
the old man a little ahead, and the distance
was about four miles.-——0arson Appeal.
A farmer in Ohio was annoyed by his sheep
getting into a field of grain; each time he
drove them out he was unsuccessful in find-
ing an opening through which they got in,
the fence being too high, he thought, for
them to jump over, so he concluded to watch
them. To his astonishment he saw a large
buck leave the flock and place himself by
the side of the fence, then one after another
of his companions ran up to him, leaped
upon his back over the fence into the field;
he buck was the only one in the deck that
could get over without the assistance of a
“footsteol.” _ Is this not more than instinct?

TEMPERANCE.
COntribntedbyLadics of Norwalk Temp. Union
At the opening of the present session of
the German Reichstag the Emperor spoke
of the serious increase of, crimes commit-
ted in a state of drunkenness,and introduced
a new law providing for the punishment of
intoxication in public.
When Father Alvord was invited to ask a
blessing at a public banquet he bowed his
head and said, “ Oh Lord! Adam sinned by
eating and Noah by drinking. Keep us from
the wickedness of the one and the folly of
the other. Amen.”
Where on earth is there a weight heavier
than that glass of liquor ? Spirit, mind,body,
and soul itself pressed down by itl God help
the one who carries such a load,and struggles
to rise with it to manhood 1 God help. as
well, the one whose spirit has never been
thus burdened! Help him to keep himself free
from it forever.
The temperance movement in London, we
are told, is making rapid headway under the
influence of a stock company, possessing
abundant capital, which establishes coffee
houses in places, formerly occupied by gin
palaces, taverns and restaurants.and manages
them upon purely temperance principles, so
as to make them the resort of the same classes
that patronized drinking saloons.
Ex-Seuator Merrimon, of North Carolina
is reported to have said recently in a speech
at a prohibitory meeting at Reidsville, in that
state: “ I have never meddled with liquor.
I have never drank it, have hardly kept it as
a medicine in my family, and yetit has med.
died with me, has made my boy a wandering
vagabond, has broken my wife’s heart; yes,
when I was asleep, thinking him at home in
the house, he was being made a drunkard in
the barrooms of Raleigh.”
Chief Justice Park of Connecticut has ren-
dered an opinion, concurred in by the asso-
ciate judges, concerning the constitutionality
of the law of that state which provides that
every person shall be fined who is reported to
keep liquor for sale without a license. Judge
Park says the object of the act is to prevent
the unlawful sale of liquor. A rum shop’s
customers are easily distinguishable from
others. They constitute a sign for the place
as unmistakably as one in le=ters over the
door. The character of the place, its repu-
tation, unexplained and uncontradictcd, is
taken as evidence that liquor is sold there

Robbery Made Easy.
The Newark failure calls attention to the
nature of existing provisions for the protec-
tion of the public. It is commonly supposed
than busines men” take a greater care and
adopt better methods for the protection of
their interests in various corporations with
which they deal than the Government in its
efforts to protect the Community. We hear
a great deal of the excellence of business
methods, and {of the importance of ap-
plying them tO the conduct of public affairs.
Whenever an orator declares that the Gov-
ernment ought to do this or that “just as a
practical man conducts his own business,”
the audience applauds, and it is thought that
the speaker has said a very good thing.
Yet scarcely a month passes without some
startling revelation of fraud occasioned by the
habitual failure of eminent business men 10
look after their own interests.
Do directors direct? The question has
been asked more than once.’ It Was asked
when the Bank of California went down,
when the Glasgow Bank collapsed, and when
the Bank of'the State of Missouri closed its
doors. It has been asked a thousand times,
when other banking institutions have plund-
ered the public. The Newark case is fresher
in mind, but not more startling, than others
of comparatively recent date. Talk with a
bank president about it, and he willattribute
the disaster to the excessive confidence of
the directors in the cashier. But “business
methods,” it appear, involve confidence in
somebody; if not in a cashier, then in a
president, or, as in the Manhattan Bank case
in a janitor. Ask a bank president what the
directors of his own bank really know of its
condition, and, if he is candid and confident-
ial, he will probably admit that they know
almost nothing. Perhaps he will explain
that it is practically impossible that they
should know. They come to directors’
meetings, though it is often found necessary
to pay $5 for each meeting in order to get a
quorum. They hear an account from the
President of what has been done since the
last meeting and of the condition of the hu-
SIDBSS. Being busy men, as well as business
men, they rarely waste time in asking ques-
tions. Proposed loans are quickly consider-
ed, and the Board generally does what the
officers recommend. Members are business
men, and are in a hurry to get back to their
own business. On rare occasions a commit-
tee is appointed to examine and verify
things. Baldwin gives a graphic description
of the Newark method ; each $50 package
was carefully counted, while no one ever ask-
ed a question about the $1,500,000 deposit in
New York. A question about that would
havejmplied an insult.
It is supposed by the public that each di-
rector feels bound to exercise constant
watchfulness over the affairs of the institu-
tion. In point of fact, if any director goes
into the bank to ask questions he is apt to be
stigmatized as “a Paul I’Iy sort of person,”
and usually gets omillcd fIOm the list at the
next election. liank officers state that it is
their understanding and rule that no indivi-
llall director has any right to ask anything
about the affairs of the bank, except in the
Board, or when empowered as a committee
by a majority of the Board. One of the best
and most distinguished bank presidents of
this city, when asked why some director of
the Newark bank did not inquire of the New
York Mechanics’ Bank as to the reported
balances, replied that President Sherman
would not have 'been bound to give any
answer; that he would probably have replied
that such a question could be answered only
when asked by the Newark Board in its or-
ganized capacity and through its proper of-
flcers—that is, through the dishonest cash-
ier. These, it is said, are the “business
methods.” -
What remedy, then, has a director who
suspects mischief? He may be the largest
stockholder, but he can obtain no informa-
tion unless a majority of the Board demands
it. ,His own fortune and reputation are at
stake. If he offends the Ofilcers, without
discovering any wrong, refusal of usual ac-
commodations may ruin him. If he asks
questions, he is thought to imply an insult-
ing suspicion, because such questions are
notusually asked. Ile can pray the United
States Comptroller to have the bank examin-
cd, but the request would be likely to get
him into trouble. A director and large
stockholder does not like tocast a slur upon
the credit of his bank; without absolute cer-
tainty that he has reason, he will very rarely
raise unusual questions, even in meetings of
the” Board. And if he tries to find out any-
thing anywhere else, hc is out of the limits of
his duty, and is considered a meddling and
ungentlemanly person.
Banks gdifier, of course. In some, all
operations are open as the day to those 'who
have any proper reason to inquire. But the
prevailing customs of business men do not
sustain a director in doing his plain duty.
lie is bound in honor to watch, to exercise
constant care,and to ask questions continually
which call for proof of statements made.
But business customs render it extremely
difilcult, notto say practically impossible,
for him to say or do a thing that is not based
upon the assumption that all the ofilcers of
the bank are absolutely honest. If he
suspects anything, the chances are ten to one
that" he canonly injure himself by asking
questions. For a director, apparently, Mr.
Blackburn’s remark is true: “He that doubts
is damned.” And these are called “business
methods ”1 —Trz'bune. ~
The most notable remark at the recent
congress of free thinkers in Paris was, “I am
an atheIst,thank God." -

Celluloid is being used in Paris for mak-

a special cement, which quickly hardens af-

celluloid is then used to obtain the impres-

Experiments of M. Gautier appear to prove
that human saliva possesses the same poison.
ous property as that of servants, although in
a milder form. The human saliva injected
under the skin of a bird caused death, with
symptoms very closely resembling these re-
sulting from serpent bites.
In St.Petersburg use has been made of
electricity in pumping water with a view of
making it serviceable in putting out fires.
The experiments seem to have been satisfac-
tory. The same current used for lighting
a building may thus furnish power for
throwing water on the flames in case it
should take fire. Such an application ought
to be especially valuable in the case of the
atres and Other buildings where large num-
bers of people assemble and where the prompt
introduction of a stream of water might be
:he means of averting a great loss of human
ifc.
One of Proc‘tor’s most interesting leet ures
treats of astronomical time and the ages of
the plants, commencing with the earth.
From the different geological features of the
earth’s surface, it has been computed that
the formation of its crust must have alone
occupied 100,000,000 years. Such is the
estimate formed by Crowe and accepted by
Sir Charles Lyell. From the investigations
of various physicists and experiments by
Bischoff, it is found that 350,000,000 years
must have elapsed while the earth was cool-
ing’ from 2,000 degrees to 300 degrees of
temperature. Prior to this again, the earth
existed for along period in a nebulous con-
dition. The earth may, therefore, be fairly
assumed to be 500,000,000 years old—and
this is considered as erring to the side of
deficiency rather than to excess. Compar-
ing this planet with Jupiter, on the principle
that the larger a body is the ion er must be
its time of cooling, it is calcula ed that it
will be 3,500,000,000 years before Jupiter
reaches the stage our planet has now attained
Ten times as long a period must pass before
the sun arrives at a similar condition. The
moon was in this relative period of her ex-
istence 420,000,000 years ago. If any planet
is of nearly the same age as the earth it is
Oenns. Mars is older. Mercury is older
still; the Moon, the oldest of all. The fea-
tures of Venus must nearly resemble those
of the earth. Mars is about equally divided
into land and water, and must have an at-
mosphere. flThe Moon pictures the earth's
future condition. It is a dead world. It has
neither water, clouds, nor atmosphere. But
as the earth is 81 times larger than its sa-
tellite, while it has thirteen times as much
surface,about 2.500,000 years will be required
for it to arrive at the» moon’s present condi-
tion. Following out this theory, we greatly
reduce the number of planets on which life
is possible, In our solar system we have
only the earth, possibly Venus, and, it may
be some of the satellites.
Enthusiasts who make a special study of
sun-spots and attend phenomena believe that
the corner-stone of a new science is now be-
ing laid by the discovery of an intimate con-
nection between terrestrial storms and ac-
tivity of the heated gases surrounding the
sun. Just what the connection is they are
not yet able to clearly define, although
electricity is suspected of being the agent
through which the effects are manifested
upon our planet. It is known that the gas-
ious envelope of the sun is affected by er-
ruptions of such prodigious magnitude as to
be utterly beyond our power of conception,
these disiurbanccs appearing to us in the
form of rapidly changing spots on the solar
disk. The spots come and go at remarkably
regular intervals, a complete cycle of the
various stages of activity from maximum to
minimum and agail ' ‘ ’an being per-

storms produce a markeu ...‘.-,= ‘, '
earth and its inhabitants. Their views seem
to be strongly confirmed. While the pres-
ent has been a year of violent terrestrial
storms and earthquakes, these scientists
claim to have proven by simultaneous obser-
vation a correspondence between minor me-
teorological phenomena and changes upon the
sun. The eminent meteorologist, Prof.
Piazzi Smith, Astronomer Royal for Scot-
land with many others. are of the opinion
’that the state of the sun will some day be-
cc me an important factor in weather forecasts
and similar calculations.‘
A new theory of the so-called fascination
of birds by snakes is that‘ the bird mistakes
the snakes tongue, which the reptile keeps
in constant motion, for a lively worm, and
watches it with the expectation of devouring
it.
No little concern is feltbypersons interes.
ted in the harbor accommodations of Lake
Ontario by reason of the assured fact that the
level of the lake has fallen steadily. and in a
marked degree, for many years. The records
have been accurately kept, and leave no room
for doubt. Many wharves in many ports
were formerly accessible to vessels which
cannot now come near them. The entrance
to the harbor of Toronto has been kept open
only by means of thorough dredging. and
now,,when rock-bottom has been reached,
there is scarcely enough water to float the
largest of vessels which seek to pass. Var.
ious explanations for the subsidence have
been offered, but none of them seems to be
adequate.

Death’s Master.
A Christian woman was lately dying of
internal cancer, She was attended by a
Roman Catholic nurse, who was very much
astonished at the calm patience and peace of
the poor sufferer. A friend of mine called
to see her one day. The door was opened by
the nurse.
“How is Mrs. Blank today i” inquired my
friend, .
“She is very ill sir," was the reply. The
nurse then gave the following details I—“last
night she was fseized with violent pain and
I thought she was dying. I said to her:
“You are dying; shall I send for a clergy-
man to prepare youjfor death l" .
“0 no" she said, “I want no minister, for
I am ready to die at any moment." .
“But” I said, “are you not afraid to die 1’"
“No, indeed, not a bit,” she replied.
“Tell me why you are not afraid to die,
when you have not been prepared by your
clergyman, nor lreceived the rites of your
church,” I said, A
"Because," she replied, joyously, “Ibelong
to death’s Master. I am a (poor sinner save
by grace.” *

she went to get it, when, lo and behold! it
had caught a‘ mouse by the tail. The rodent
had cvrdently been enjoying a bit of break-
fast, and while he nibbled the cake the icing
had hardened over his tail, and he was a
prisoner of war. This story is vouched f or
