Golden Rod.
BY JULIA O. A. DORR.
Let us go forth and gather golden rod 1
Oh, love, my love, see how upon the hills,
Where still the warm air palpitatcs and
thrills,
And earth lies breathless in the smile of God
Like plumes of serried hosts its tassels nodl
All the green vales its golden glory fills;
By lonely waysides and by mountain rills
Its yellow banners flaunt above the sod.
Perhaps the apple-blossoms were more fair;
Perhaps, dear heart, the roses were more
sweet—-
J une’s dewy roses. with their buds half
blown—
Yet what care we, while tremulous and rare
This golden sunshine falleth at our feet,
And song lives on, though summer birds
have flown P —(}hrz'stz'an Union.
Sketches of the Candidates.
GENERAL WILLIAM H. BUCKELEY.
The nominee for governor on the Repub.
lican state ticket is a descendant of Rev.
Peter Bulkeley, the founder of Concord,
Mass, consequently, he is a member of one
of the oldest and most esteemed New Eng-
land families. The ancestor spoken of was
abrilliant non-conformist divine who suc-
ceeded his father, Rev. William Bulkeley,
in the church at Woodhill in Bedfordshire.
England, but was compelled by reason of the
dislike of ArchbishOp Loud to seek asylum
among the early Puritan settlers of New
England. His son, Rev. Gearshom Bulke-
ley, was settled as pastor in New London in
1661 and remained there until 1665. Sub-
sequently he applied himself to the practice
of medicine at Glastonbury. His son Rev.
John Bulkeley, was a graduate of Harvard
and was ordained pastor of the church at
Colchcster in 1703. His son John wasa
graduate of Yale and was an eminent law-
yer. Eliphalet, John’s son, and John C.
Bulkeley, grandson, were prominent busi~
ness men. Lieutenant Governor Bulkeley’s
father, the late Eliphalet Bulkeley, was a
graduate of the same class with the lat Judge
Origen S. Seymour. Eliphalet A. Bulkeley
studied law in Labanon, and in 1830 began
practice in East Haddam. His wife was a
cousin of Governor Morgan of New York. »
He served both in the Connecticut senate
and house, was school commissioner in 1847
and then removed to Hartford, He was
founder and first president.“ the ZEtna Life
and Connecticut Mutual Life, and in 1857
was speaker of the house of representatives.
His political affiliations were with the Whig
and Republican parties. Gen.Wm. H. Bulke-
ley was born in EastHaddam in 1840. He
was educated in the public and high schools
of Hartford, and finishing his school life
entered the employ of Thatcher, Goodrich
& Stillman, a prominent dry goods firm of
Hartford. In 1857 he went to Brooklyn,
N. Y., and entered the house of P. H.
Morgan & Co. Afterward he went into
business for himself on Fulton street,
Brooklyn, and acquired a competence. His
military experience was had while residing
in Brooklyn. He was a member of the
Brooklyn City ,Guard, 12th regiment, N. Y.
S. N. G., and went with the company to the
front when the war broke out. He was in
service four months, and returning to Brook-
lyn, he organized, in 1862, Company G, of
the 56th N. Y., and was its captain. He was
in General “Baldy” Smith's division in 1863,
during the Pennsylvania crisis and when the
New York draft riots occurred, the regi-
ment was ordered to that city. While there
its term of service expired. He remained
out of military life until appointed quarter-
master general by Governor Andrews, about
four years ago. He retains an interest in
affairs military, and is an active member
of Robert 0. Tyler Post, Grand Army of
the Republic, in this city, and also of the
Army and Navy club of Connecticut.
Returning to Hartford in 1869 he established
the firm of Kellogg Sr. Bulkeley, lithograph-
crs. He also has served for years Ias
director in the American National bank, the '
United States Trust company and the IEtna
Life and Orient Fire insurance companies.
About four years ago he purchased the
purchased the famous “Bee Hive” dry
goods store, of which he is now sole pro-
prietor. During his residence in Hartford
General Bulkeley was for five years on the
board of councilmen, serving a year each as
vice president and president, and for seven
years was a member of the street board. He
was a member of the Yorktown centennial
commission, and as lieutenant governor and
president of the Senate made an excellent
record. In private life he is an estimable
gentleman, and in business circles his enter-
prising and thorough business methods have
won for him an enviable reputation. He is
a member of the Pearl street Congrgretional
church of Hartford.
JOHN D. saunas son LIEUT-GOVERNOR.
John D. Candee of Bridgeport, nominee
for lieutenant governor, is widely known as
the veteran editor of the Bridgeport Stand
ard. His parents were natives of Oxford,
Connecticut, but they removed to New York
state, and he was born June 12, 1819, at
Pompey, Onondagua county, during the
short residence of his parents in that town.
He was self-supporting from the time he
was nine years old, and a helper on a farm,
sprinter, a lawyer and an editor. While
learning the printers’ trade he prepared for
college and was graduated at Yale in 1847.
Two years later he graduated from the Yale
Law school. He practiced law for a dozen
years and after some experience as an edi-
tor, he purchased the Bridgeport Standard
in 1863 and has continued as editor of that
paper‘since. In this position he has done
sterling work in behalf of the Republican
party and Republican principles. He never
sought political prefermest, and his service
in any public office was limited to the mem-
bership in the common council of B:idge-
port, Mr. Candee is'a gentleman of 63 years,
of ripe and varied experience, and will fill
with credit the office for which he is nomi-
natcd,
srrus r. STANTON ron saoaaranr.
Captain Stiles T. Stanton is a scion of the
oldest and and best families of Stonington,
and was born in that town. He is 32 years
of age. He was prepared for Yale, but in-
stead of entering college embarked in
journalism. During his connection with the
Norwich Bulletin he acquired a wide repu-
tation. From 1875 to 1878 he was a captain
on the brigade staff of the: state militia, in
1880, was secretary of the Republican state
central committee, and an alternate to the
Chicago convention. When Governor An-
drews assumed the gubernational chair, be
appointed Mr. Stanton his executive secre-
tary. In 1881, and again last winter, Mr.
Stanton represented Stonington in the house
of representatives, and made a very excellent
record as chairman of the banking commit-
tee.
JULIUS CONVERSE FOR TREASURER.
Err-State Senator Julius Converse of Stat-
ford, is a native of that town. and was born
1827. For many years he has been an
active business man, with large commercial
and financial matters under his ,direction.
He is the agent and treasurer of the Mineral
Springs Manufacturing company, a corpora.
tion having a very large number of employee
He is also president of the Stafiord National
bank. In 1865-6 he represented Stafford in
the low er house of the legislature, in 1872 he
was a presidential elector, and in 1877 was

GEN. FRANK D. SLOA’I‘ FOR COMPTROLLER.
General Sloat is so well known through-
out the state that a personal sketch is scarce-
ly necessary. In business life he is at the
head of the Victor sewing machine company.
whose works are located at Middletown.
By his military career he is, perhaps best
known. He went to the war in 1862 as first
lieutenant of Co. A., 27th C. V., a company
whose nucleus was made up of members of
the New Haven Grays. He was promoted
t) the captaincy in 1863. His military
record was firstaclass. He was appointed
paymaster‘general on the staff of Governor
Andrews in 1879, and is prominent member
of the Grand Army of the Republic and of
the Army and Navy club. He also occupies
a distinguished place in the Knights of

Tunnel Dangers.
One hundred and ninety-two passenger
trains depart and arrive at the Grand Central
depot between 5 o‘clock agm. and 9 o’clock
p,’ in. All of these trains pass through the
tunnel. The morning time of the arrival of
trains at the ;Grand Central depot in the
running after six o'clock shows the danger
in question. The time table shows that six
o’clock there is due a Hudson River train,
at 6.17 a Boston express, 6,25 a Stamford
special, 6.38 a Boston express, 640 a White
Plains local, 6.45 an Atlantic express, 6.48
the Adams express, 7.15 a Tarrytown spec-
ial, 7.20 a White Plains local, 7.30 the
second Atlantic express, and at 7.35 a
Norwalk special. Trains run out in the
evening upon as equally short time. It will
be seen that between two trains. there are
only five minutes in two instances; between
two‘ trains in one instance three, and
between two trains in another instance only
two minutes. The tunnel is dark and full of
black smoke, and it often happens that engi—
neers 'cannot see the smoke stack of their
respective engines. If the tunnel were well
lighted and there was no smoke, the danger
of running trains so close together would be
great, but it is doubly so now, especially
with the Harlem trains, some of which still
use the old fashioned hand brake. An en-
gineer who has run through the tunnel ever
since it was built, says that he trembles
sometimes for his passengers,when he thinks
of the danger both ahead and behind.
He thinks the companies ought to be com-
pelled to use hard coal in their locomotives.
He also says “I always heave a sigh of relief
when Iget out of that hole.”—New York
Herald.

A Sleepy Actor.
While Joseph Jefferson was once playing
Rip Van Winkle at Chicago, he went to the
theatre very much exhausted by a long day’s
When the curtain rose
on the third act, it disclosed the white haired
Rip still deep in his twenty years’ nap. Five
ten, twenty minutes passed, and he did not
woken. The audience began to get impa-
tient, and the prompter uneasy. The great
actor doubtless knew what he was about, but
this was carrying the “realistic" business too
far. The fact was that all the time Jefferson
was really sleeping the sleep of the just, or
rather of the fisherman who had sat eight
hours in the run without getting a single
bite. Finally the gallery became uproarious,
and one of the “gods" wanted to know if
there was going tobe “nineteen years more
of this snooze business.” At this point J ef-
ferson began to snore. This decided the
prompter, who opened a small trap beneath
the stage and began to prod Rip from below.
The much-traveled comedian began to
fumble in his pocket for an imaginary ticket
and muttered,drowsily,“Going right through
’ductor.” ~ The audience were transfixed with
amazement at this entirely new reading,when
Jefferson sat up, with a loud shriek, and evi-
dently in agony. The exasperated prompter

Seldom is their recorded a more event-
ful life story than that of Skarbeck de
Malezewski, whose death at the age of 100
years has just been announced in Warsaw.
He entered the Prussian army in his youth
and was made a prisoner by the French at
Jena, when he at once changed his flag, and
joined Dombrowski’s corps, and fought so
well at Sylau as to receive a high decora-
tion at [the close of the battle. At Hanan
he was badly wounded. He accompanied
Bonaparte to Elba, and came away from
there with him, going to Italy as orderly of-
ficer to King Joachim Murat. At Gaeta the
English captured him and handed him over
to the Austrians, from whom he escaped in
time to join Bonaparte at Waterloo, where
he was again seriously wounded. Under the
czar’s proclamation of amnesty helwent back
to Poland, entered the Russian army, and
rose to a high rank, but when the Polish in-
surrection of 1830 broke out he joined it,
fought desperately, was wounded, captured
and sent to Siberia for life. After spending
half a century in penal exile he was pardon-
ed, and returned to his native city to die.

No movement-having for its object the ac
complishment of a great reform has ever
made more rapid progress in this country
than the temperance movement has during
the past few years. Local organizations
under various names, but all having a com-
mon purpose in view, have corresponded and
co-operated until they have created state and
national organizations. It has become a si-
lent power in politics, and absolutely controls
some of the richest and most populous states.
It is a movement that will not retrogade. The
indications are that unless there is a general
system devised and put into execution for the
legal control and regulation of the liquor bus-
iness, the extreme prohibitionists will finally
succeed in crushing the trade. The man
who believes in moderation in this question,
and opposes “ramrbd prohibition" will adopt
the latter rather than allow the liquor traffic
too much license.

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3,‘ 1882.

Household Hint-s.
N. Y. Evening Post.
A side dish, which will be new to many
cooks, is made by slicing very thin some on-
ions and green tomatoes, in about equal pro-
portions, and frying them together just as
you fry onions alone. Salt them well, and if
there is any danger of their being greasy,
drain before serving. V
One way to give variety to the breakfast is
to cook some thin slices of salt pork thus:
Put them in cold water, and set them on the
stove, and let them come to a boil ; then
drain off all the water and fry them for
about four minutes, or until they are nearly
free from grease; then dip them in a batter
made of egg and flour, and fry them till a
light brown and crisp.
Baked or roasted onions should be wash-
ed, but not peeled.» First boil them for an
hour in water which is well salted. When
they are tender drain off the water, let them
stand for 'a few minutes and drain, then re-
move the skins, put them in a dripping-pan?
put a little lump of butter and some pepper
and salt on each one; let them remain in the
oven till they are nicely browned. Serve
while very hot.
Potatoes warmed in this way are excel-
lent for supper witucold meat: Put a lump
of butter in a frying-pan, with half a cup of
sweet cream, salt and pepper enough to sea-
son. Take cold boiled potatoes and cut them
in small pieces or in slices, and when the
butter has melted stir them in. Let them
heat gradually and boil for four or five min-
utes, and then serve. ,
A batter pudding to be used with any fruit
—applcs, peaches,or canned berries—is made
of one pint of sweet milk, four eggs beaten
very light,two teacups of flour, one teaspoon-
ful of salt, and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of
soda. Place the fruit in the bottom of an
earthen pudding dish; then pour the batter
over it. Bake for three-quarters of an hour,
and serve hot, with rich pudding sauce, or
with cream and sugar.
Mock crab salad is made in this way: Take
half a poundpf pickled shrimps, one~quarter
of a pound of good old cheese, one table-
spoonful of salad oil, one half teaspoonful of
cayenne pepper, one teaspoonful of salt, and
of white sugar, one of made mustard, four
tablespoonfuls of vinegar; if you have celery
salt, use a liberal ;sprinkling of that; grate
the cheese, and chop the shrimps very fine,
then mix gradually all the ingredients men-
tioned. This relish is highly esteemed by
many cooks. '
A convenience for almost every woman,
but particularly for the one who hires her
washing done by the dozen, is the movable
skirt bottom. How many times it happens
that the upper part is not soiled at all when
the ruffle or'hem is too dusty to be worn,aud
this, perhaps, after once wearing. The mov-
able part is to be buttoned to the upper at
the knee, or a trifle below, audit is allowable
to have three of these to one upper. Use
small buttons, and as close together as is
necessary to keep the skirt in place. Always
take the precaution to examine each button
before putting the garment on.
Puffs, which are nice made fresh for tea,
call for one pint of sweet milk, six ounces of
sifted flour, four eggs. a good pinch of salt.
The milk must be scalded, and then be al-
lowed to cool a. little, then stir the flour in,
not ,leaving a singleJump. Beat the eggs
till they are very light, then add them to the
milk and flour. Fry these in hot lard, drop-
ping a spoonful at a time, as you do fritters.
By taking pains you can make these puffs as
round as balls. Do not let them “string”
from the spoon, but, holding it down close
to the lard, cut the batter off with a knife.
Sift powdered sugar over them just before
sending them to the table.
There are so many ways of cooking toma-
toes that one may send them to the table
every day for dinner without fear of their
being rejected. Scalloped tomatoes are sim-
ply delicious. Line an earthen dish with
bread crumbs, then put in a layer of sliced
tomatoes, season with butter, pepper and
salt; then put a layer of bread crumbs, and
so on until the dish is full. Put in enough
hot water to moisten the bread crumbs; a
teacupful is enough for a medium-sized dish.
Bake till brown on the top. Another way to
bake them is to lay slices of tomatoes over
the bread ; have one layer only , season the
same as the scalloped ones. Still another
way is to set whole tomatoes, with the skins
on, in a large pudding dish; make a hole in
the center of each tomato, and fill it with
well-seasoned bread~crnmbsl ‘
A correspondent asks how to pickle man-
goes, or young musk or nutmeg melons.
Make just as small an opening in the side of
the melon as you can to extract the seeds.
Save the piece that you cut out. Then lay
the melon in strong brine; be sure that
they are entirely covered with the brine ; let
them be for three days; then take them out,
rinse them, and let them lie in clear, cold
water for a night. Then, after draining
them,fill them with chopped cabbage season-
ed with mustard seed. horseradish, a little
ginger, some sugar, celery-seed, and, if pos-
siblé, add a few very small cucumbers. Sew
in the piece that you cut out, then put in
stone jars, and pour hot vinegar over them.
Of course it takes a long time for them to
become pickled through, but when they are
they make a delicious relish. The time de-
pends upou the size of the melon, but nearly
or quite three months are required to perfect
them.
There is at present no subject of greater
interest to the housekeeper than that of
pickles, which accounts for the number- of
recipes given in this column for their prepa-
ration. Green bell peppers make an excel-
lent relish when carefully prepared. _.Cut
the top off, and with a sharp pen-knife re-
move the seeds; then put the peppers; the
tops, and all'in an earthen jar and pour cold
water, well saturated with salt, over them;
let them stand for two days in this, then
change the water and make the brine weaker:
let them remain in this a day and night;
then take them out and fill them with chop-
ped cabbage seasoned with salt and sugar.
If you can obtain them, put in each pepper
a tiny cucumber, and two or three nastur-
tium seeds; crown the filling in as hard as
possible, as it will shrink when picked; then
with a crane needle and with cotton yarn
sew the tops of the peppers on; pour hot
vinegar over them; lay some horseradish
leaves over the min the jar, and set them in
the cellar or in some cool closet: In a few
weeks they are fit for use. With pork and
beans, and with roast goose or duck, they are
excellent, for a little goes a great'way.
Now is the time to put the winter bedding
in order; the mattresses should all be sun-
ned and thoroughly aired ; if soiled, rip the
ticking off—this is not at all difficult to do;
have it washed, and it should be starched a
little; while it is undergoing this operation
the hair or wool, or cotton which composes
the filling can be aired by placing it carefully
on a large sheet and laying it where the sun-
light can shine on it ; if it has been used for
several years, it will cost but little, and will
well repay the expense, to have it picked
and sorted over before being upholstered.
Blankets ought also to be thoroughly
cleansed. If, to make them less burdensome
and difficult to handle, you .cut the long
double ones in two, overcast ‘the ends with
worsted or yarn of scarlet or blue to math
the stripes in the blanket. Do this with
button-hole stitch; it takes a few minutes
only to do this. and it is' neuter than a
hem, and is really a pretty addition to the
blanket. Very pretty comforters for chil-
dren's beds are made of the thin cotton
J cheese cloth; tack them and bind them with
bright colors. If for use in the crib, an edge
of worsted crocheted around it makes it look
attractive. Crochet two or three rows in
shell-stitch, with a scallop to finish it. It is
an excellent plan to put a strip of white cot
ton cloth at each end of a common com-
forter. It can be removed and washed with
much more case than to wash the comforter
itself, and with much handling, even with
perfectly clean hands, it is likely to become
soiled. The ends of white spreads are im-
proved by being workcd with white cotton
in buttonholo stitch. This is particularly the
case where the spread has been in use a good
while and the hem is worn and the edge
frayed. All you need to do is to trim off the
threads so they will not ravel and buttonhole
the edge.

A Georgia. Corn Shucking'.
‘The life and humor of this autumn festi-
val, at the South, are described by David C.
Barrow, Jr.,in the October Century, and
are also illustrated by several character
sketches:
The farmer who proposes to give a corn-
shucking selects a level spot in his lot, con-
veniently near the crib, rakes away all trash,
and sweeps the place clean with a brush
broom. The corn is then pulled off the
stalks, thrown into wagons, hauled to the
lot, and thrown out on the spot selected, all
in one pile. If it has been previously “no-
rated” through the neighborhood that there
is to be plenty to eat and drink at the corn-
shucking, and if the night is auspicious,there
will certainly be a crowd. Soon after dark
the negroes begin to come in, and before long
the place will be alive with them,—men
women, and children. After the crowd has
gathered and been moderately warmed up,
two “gin’r’ls” are chosen from among the
'most famous corn-sbuckers on the ground,
and these proceed to divide the shuckers
into two parties, later comers reporting ai-
ternately to one side or the bther, so as to
keep the forces equally divided. The next
step, which is one of great importance, is
to divide the corn-pile. This is done by
laying a fence-rail across the top of the corn-
pile, so that the vertical plane, passing
through the rail, will divide the pile intotwo
equal portions. Laying the rail is of great
importance, since upon this depends the
accuracy ofthe division; it is accompanied
with much argument, not to say wrangling.
The position of the rail being determined,
the two generals mount the corn-pile, and
the work begins. The necessity for the“gin-
’r’ls" to occupythe most conspicuous position
accessible, from which to cheer their follow-
ers, is one reason why they get on top of the
corn: but there is another, equally import-
ant, which is to keep the rail from being
moved, it being no uncommon thing for
one side to change the position of the rail,
and thus throw an undue portion of the work
upon their adversaries. The position of
“gin’r’l” in a corn-shucker differs from that
of the soldier, in that the former is in great-
er danger than any of his' followers; for the
chances are that, should his side seem to be
gaining, one of their opponents will knock
the leader off the compile, and thus cause a
momentary panic, which is eagerly taken ad-
vantage of. This proceeding, however, is
considered fair only in extreme cases, and
not infrequently leads to a general row. If
it is possible, imagine a negro man standing
up on a pile of corn, holding in his hand an
ear of corn, and shouting the words of a song
below, and you will have pictured the “corn
gin’r’l." It is a prime requisite that he should
be ready in his improvisations and have a
good voice so that he may lead in the corn-
song. The corn-song is almost alWaysasong
with a chorus, or to use the language of corn-
shuckers, the “gin'r’ls give out,” and the
shuckers “drone.” These songs are kept up
continuously during the entire time the Work
is going on, and though extremely simple,
yet, when sung by fifty pairs of lungs, there
are few things more stirring.
When he said he had lived in Nevada sev-
eral years, a man who looked something like
a church deacon stepped forward and asked ;
“My friend is the Bible respected in that
state ?” “Oh, yes.” “Do they have
churches ?" “Plenty of ’cm.” “And the
Lord rules there as well as in New Jersey?"
“Well, I don’t know about that," was the
doubtful answer. “When I bought mining
stocks for twenty per cent. of their face
value and saw them jump to fifty above par,
I thought the Lord hada firm grip on the
state ; but, again, when I struck a silver
mine worth millions in digging fish bait and
sold the whole for a gallon of whisky which
burnt the soles off my boots,-I had a dim
suspicion that the Ldevil and Nevada were
partners in stocking the cards.”-—- Wall Street
News. '
In printing a report of the serious illness
of Winnemucca, chief of all the Piutes, a
Nevada paper says: "It is quite probable
that if his sickness ends in death his wife
and doctor will be made to atone for it with
their lives. It is customary for the Piutcs,
as well as with many other tribes, to kill the
medicine man who attends a chief during
an illness which ends in death, and they
sometimes sacrifice the unfortunate wife of
a dead chief on his grave. An instance of
the latter kind took place here two years
since, when an innocent squaw was taken
from the corpse of her husband to the Har-
mony mountains, some eight or ten miles
above town, and sacrificed on his grave, the
charge against her being withcraft."

Thd Englishmen of Cheshire have declared
that the Irish must go. Irish laborers have
crossed the channel in their own off season
to help the English harvest men. In Ches-
hire this coming of the Irish has been re-
sented by the native laborers. What busi-
ness have the Irish among us? asks the
Cheshire men. But more than a verbal prol
test is entered. Brutal assaults on the Irish
are made, after the San Francisco model in
dealing with the Chinese,and the magistrates
are encouraging the crusades against the
strangers by inflicting petty fines when pris-
oners are arraigned for the offense of beating
with cudgels the industrious laborers from
across the channel.

Mr. Fessenden’s Speech.
Fairfield County not only gained a repre-
sentation upon the State ticket in the Repub-
lican convention but an equal honor in in?
ready recognition of one of her sons, Mr.
Fessenden of Stamford, among the very first
orators in the State. When he arose to pre-
sent the claims of Fairfield Co. for the second
ofiice on the ticket every car was bent to
hear him, and as he proceeded in a clear,
forcible manner, with a voice exceptionally
fine and language which the closest selection
of words in even a written speech could not

A young Austin lawyer was appointed to
defend a negro who was too poor to hire
counsel of his own. After the jury was in
the box the young lawyer challenged several
jurymen who his client said had a prejudice
against him. “Are there any more jury-
men who have a prejudice against you ?"
whispered the young lawyer. "No, boss, de
jury am all right, but now I. wants you to
challenge de-jedge. I has been convicted
under him seberal times already, and. maybe
he is beginnin’ to hab prejudice agm me.”
The young lawyer, this being his first case,
took the advice of his client, and, addressing
\——-
the court, told the judge ‘he could step aside.

CONDEMNING THE BREAKWATER—API’ORTION-
MENT OF GROUNDS.
The Connecticut Oyster Growers’ associa-
tion held a special meeting in the Insurance
building Thursday afternoon. The consti-
tution was amended to atone for an omis-
sion in not electing ofiicers this year. The
members discussed the effect which the new
breakwater would have on the oyster inter-
ests of New Haven; all agreed that the
effect will be to injure the growers to a large
extent. Caleb L. Luddington, of Fair Hu-
Ven, a veteran in the business, went so far as
to say that the breakwater would kill every
oyster in the harbor. He thought that it
was of no advantage to the city and was
shoaling the harbor. No vessels could an-
chor behind it, and the oyster beds were be-
ing spoiled. Colonel Barlow had told him it
never ought to have been started in its pres-
ent locality. If it had been built further
west,so asto protect the harbor from sou’west
gaies it would have been of some use. But
no-the ring said it must be built just where
it has been
Charles W. Hoyt of Fair Haven, one of
the Hoyt Brothers, who has recently remov-
ed their oyster business from South Norwaik
thought congress would not be stopped in
the improvement by oyster growers; the
breakwater would be built notwithstanding
the injury to the property of the oystermen.
He believed, however, that damages could be
claimed and collected.
Henry C. Rowe said there was power
enough in the association to step the com-
pletion of the work. He introduced a vote,
which was adopted, for a committee of three
to inquire and report. The chair appointed
0. L. Luddington, S. L. Potter and J. L.
Bradley.
The question of taxing oyster property and
the valuation of the grounds was discussed.
It was considered a very timely topic as lists
must be handed in before November 1. The
rate of taxation is ten mills. The association
appeared to be convinced that the value of
unimproved land has already been fixed by
the state—one dollar an acre. Improved
lands, it was thought, could be averaged
from $5 to 810.
It is alleged that the breakwater will
injure the oyster beds, but the amount of
damage is variously estimated. The princi-
pal destruction will be just outside the
breakwater. The erection of this big stone
obstruction will tend to create a scour which
will lift the bottom and deposit mud on the
beds. To what extent this deposit will be
made cannot be ascertained until the break-
water is completed.» It is further claimed
that “dead water" will be created. in which
oysters do not thrive. Where the mud
bottom is tenacious enough to support the
oysters they will grow in two years as much
as in three years on a hard or gravelly bot-
tom; but a slight covering of mud is suffi-
cient to smother the oyster. It is believed
that the present storm will damage the oys-
ter beds seriously in certain places; some-
times whole beds are destroyed by “freshet
mud." -
In estimating the worth of the oyster
beds around New Haven harbor it may be
mentioned that from a bed of thirty-eight
acres in the harbor, 22,000 bushels of seed
worth from $11,000 to $14,000 was harvest-
ed this year. The breakwater has been
built on beda owned by the Ludingtons and
which were very valuable. The breakwater
was laid out entirelyjndependsntof the oys-
ter beds. . - _
Since the meeting of the commission last
week applications for oyster ground to the
amount of 2,975 acres have been received,
two applications from Henry Rowe alone,
footing up 1,525 acres. A. H. Shuts has
applied for 650 acres at Madison. To the
present date 64,119 acres of ground have
been applied for under the commission ,which
begins its operations June 1, 1881. In addi-
tion to this, 40,000 acres was previously des-
ignated to the shore towns. There are about
300,000 acres of oyster ground in the state,
so that fully one-third ;of it has been desig-
nated, including the most valuable tracts.
The state line dividing the grounds from
New York state runs from a point 8); miles
southeast of the channel of! Byram point,
Greenwich, to a point four miles due south
of New London lighthouse, a distance of 82
miles, and thence to the Rhode Island line
at Pawcatuck point. Opposite New Haven
harbor the line is ten miles from the old
lighthouse and applications for ground have
been made to a point one mile from this
boundary. Off Stratford and Stamford
grounds have been taken to the middle of
the sound. Grounds have been taken from
Greenwich to Waterford.
The,committee expect to have the triangu-
lation of the sound completed so that a sur-
vey for beds and the locatiod of buoys may
be made the present year. The Palinurus
is now- at New London engaged in the re-
survey of the sound. The fish commission
has surveyed from the Connecticut river to
Westport. Gershom Bradford the engineer,
who was on the Palinurus in this harbor
last year, is surveying at Southport on the
"co-operation” plan, the commission sharing
the expense with the government. Engi-
neer J. G. Bramlen is at Greenwich work-
ing under the same plan. Off Bridgeport,
the triangulation is to extend from Tashua
to Baldhill.
m
Leaves for Bedding.
In the scarcity of rye straw, and the ab-
sence of sawdust and other material for bed-
ding cattle, we have been forced to use forest
leaves to keep the horse and cow-involean-ly
condition, and on the whole are much pleased
with them. ' The gathering was from the
road side, and along the walls, where brush
and leaves had accumulated for years. A
few basketfuls were put under the animals
every morning, and kept there until they
were well saturated with the urine, and then
thrown out into the manure heap. With a
plenty of this material, kept dry under an
shed, and used abundantly, there is very lit:
tle loss of liquid manure. As an absorbent,
it is much more effective than we expected
to find it. Leaves have a high reputation as
a material for the hot-bed and the compost
heap, and are worth the labor of gathering,
in most cases for their fertilizing properties.
Cords of them are going to decay in the sight
of almost every rural home, and it is the rare
exception that they are utilized. Meanwhile
the fields and garden are famlshed for want
of manure, or supplied with concentrated
fertilizers at forty dollars a tom—American
Agriculturzbt.

Mr. Tug Wilson, the eminent bruiser, who
departed from these shores for England
Wednesday, to the regret of all the plug-
uglies and thugs in the land, and the satis-
faction of decent people, thus expressed him-
self before sailina: “This ’ere’s a blarsted
country, as w'ich I test took, buff ’and and
mistaken like, as a positive bloomin’ bang-up
and knock-me—down parrydize for prize fight-
ers." This opinion was provoked by the ac-
tion of the Mayor of Philadelphia, who de-
clined to allow Mr. Wilson to exchange pro-
fessional compliments with another bruiser,
under the rules of etiquette laid down for
that lofty grade of society presided over by
the Marquis of Queen‘abury. Therefore
there are fears in certain ,quarters that Mr.
Wilson, having found his- occupation gone,
may not return to this unappreciative land.
But still he might find a noble career open-
ing before him here. What a fortune he
might make if he would keep his fists off
men’s heads and devote himself to the busi-
ness of preparing the beefsteak of our board-
ing houses for the stomach of their patrons.

An Autograph.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIRR.
I write my name as one
On sands by waves o’errun,
Or winter’s frosted pane,
Traces a record vain.
Oblivion's blankness claims
Wiser and better names,
And well my own may pass
As from the strand or glass.
Wash on, O waves of time!
Melt noons the frosty rimcl
Welcome the shadows vast,
The silence that shall last!
When I and all who know
And love me vanish at),
With harm to them or me
Will the lost memory be 1’
If any words of mine.
Through right of life divine,
Remain, what matters it
Whose hands the message writ?
Why should the “crownci’s quest”
Sit on my worst or best?
Why should the showman claim
The poor ghost of my name ?
Yet, as when dies a sound
Its spectre lingers round,
Haply my spent life will
Leave some faint echo still.
A whisper giving breath
Of praise or blame to death,
Soothing or saddening such
As loved the living much.
Therefore with yearnings vain ‘
And fond I still would fain
A kindly judgment seek,
A tender thought bespeak.
And while my words are read,
Let this at least be said :
“What’er his life’s defeatures,
He loved his fellow creatures.
I‘If, of the Law’s stone table,
To hold he scarce was able
The first great precept fast,
He kept for man the last.
“Through mortal lapse and dullness
What Ianks the Eternal Fullness,
If still our weakness can
Love Him in loving man 7
“Age brought him no despairing
Of the world’s future faring;
In human nature still
He found more good than ill.
“To all who dumbly sufered.
His tongue and pen he offered ;
His life was not his own.
Nor lived for self alone.
“He loved the scholar‘s quiet,
Yet, not untempted by it,’
Or poet's dream of beauty,
He strove to do his duty.
“He meant no wrong to any,
He sought the good of many,
Yet knew both sin and folly-—
May god forgive him wholly 13’

How the King Lost hidCrown.
J. T. TROWBBIDGE.
The king's men. when he had slain the boar,
Strung him aloft on the fish'er,s car,
And, tw0 behind and two before,
In triumph bore him along the shore.
“An oar l" says the king; “'tis but a trifle!
Why
Did the fisher frown and the good wife
sigh r"
, “A trifle, sire l" was the fool's reply;
“Then frown or laugh who will; for I,
Who laugh at all am only a clown,‘
Will never laugh at trifies i"
A runner next day leaped down the sand,
And launched a skiff from the fishers strand;
For he cried, “An army invades the land!
The passes are siezed on either hand!
And I must carry my message straight,
Across the lake to the castle gate 1"
The castle is neared, but the waves were
' great,
The fanged rocks foamed like the jaws of
fate;
And lacking an car the boat went do":
The furies laugh at trifiesl
The swimmer against the waves began
To strive as a valiant swimmer can;
“Methinks,” said the fool, “ ’twere no bad
plan
If succor were seneto the drowning man i"
To succor a periled pawn, instead.
The monarch, moving his rock ahead,
Bowed over the chessmen, white-and red.
Gave check t—then looked on the-lake and
said: . ' -
“The boat is lost the man will drown I".
0 king, beware of triflesl
To the lords and mirthful dames the bard
Was trolling his latest song; the guard
Were casting dies in the castle yard;
And the captains all were drinking hard;
Then came the chief of the halberdiers,
And told to the king’s astonished, cars :
“An army on every side appears!
An army with banners and bows and spears!
They have gained the wall and surprised
the town i” .
Our fates are woven of trifiesl
The red usurper reached the throne; A
The tidings over the realm were blown;
And, flying to alien lands alone _' '
With a trusty few, the king made moan.
But long and loudly laughed the. clown;
“We broke the our and the boat went down
And so the messenger chanced to drown.
The messenger lost, we lost the town;
And the loss of the town has cost a crown;
And all these things are triflesi"

“Why," said Mary Jane, "one loves him and
the other doesn’t, you ninny." “What a

The difference is this: One hugs her hus-

with a telescope you can see her.” "Dear
met I do wonder how she will be dressed-l"
“Why, ma, goddesses aren't dressed at all,”
responded the boarding school graduate.
